For the three-month period, the organic dairy group reported net income of US$660,341, on net sales of close to $6.4m. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported net income of $561,564, on net sales of approximately $6.7m.
“We are pleased to report a slight improvement in net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 versus the same prior year quarter. As well, our gross profit % in the second quarter remained relatively stable with prior year results at slightly above 41%,” said Michael E. Broll, chief executive officer of Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc.
“The reductions in current period net sales versus the prior period net sales primarily reflect our elimination of unprofitable non-branded product lines. The quarterly decline in net sales versus the prior year periods should level out in the second half of the current fiscal year, as most of the unprofitable sales were eliminated in the first half of the prior year. As well, we are beginning to see stabilization and moderate sales growth in our primary branded product lines versus the prior year. Going forward, we will continue to focus on driving brand oriented sales as well as exploring new product opportunities that fall under the ‘healthy foods’ umbrella,” added Broll.
For the first six months, the company said it achieved net income of $811,340, on net sales of $12.3m.
