RC2 Corporation Reports Strong Third Quarter; Robust Organic Sales
Business Wire (press release), CA - Oct 23, 2006 the infant products category increased by 9.0%, primarily driven by The First Years� Take & Toss� toddler self-feeding system and Soothie� bottle system
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to 47.2% as compared with 49.3% for the comparable period in 2005, due to a less favorable product and distribution mix and higher product costs, especially in die-cast products. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 31.1% for the first nine months of 2006 as compared with 32.2% for the same period in 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2006 include approximately $3.0 million in compensation expense for stock options and approximately $1.0 million in expenses related to litigation involving The First Years which preceded its acquisition by RC2. Operating income decreased to $59.7 million from $60.5 million in the year ago period, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 15.8% from 17.4% in the prior year first nine months, primarily as a result of the stock option and litigation expenses in the first nine months of 2006. As mentioned above, operating income for the 2005 year to date period also includes approximately $2.0 million in gain on the sale of assets and approximately $0.6 million in catch-up amortization expense. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, excluding the gain on sale of assets, was $58.6 million or 16.8% of net sales.
