Jewett-Cameron Announces 3rd Quarter Financial Results

NORTH PLAINS, Ore., July 15, 2019 — Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCTCF) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine month periods of fiscal 2019 ended May 31, 2019.

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 totaled approximately $16.7 million compared to sales of $19.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Income from operations was $1,506,638 compared to $2,008,845 for the third quarter ended May 31, 2018. Net income after other items and income taxes for the current quarter was $1,098,210, or $0.27 per share, compared to $1,389,209, or $0.31 per share, in the year-ago quarter.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2019, Jewett-Cameron reported sales of $33.6 million compared to sales of $42.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018. Net income was $1,567,534, or $0.36 per share, compared to net income of $2,219,940, or $0.50 per share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

“The rebound in sales during the third quarter from the slow start to the year is certainly encouraging, especially considering the sustained negative effects of poor weather and the higher China tariffs,” said CEO Charlie Hopewell. “We are continuing our drive to develop additional revenue, including the introduction of several new products and the establishment of our new Chief Revenue Officer position.”

As of May 31, 2019, the Company’s cash position was approximately $3.4 million, and there was no borrowing against its $3.0 million line of credit. The Company has historically utilized its cash position by implementing share repurchase programs as an effective method of enhancing shareholder value. Since the start of a new repurchase plan on February 18, 2019, the Company has repurchased a total of 239,892 common shares at a cost of $2,076,609, or $8.66 per share.
