Virco Operating Income Nearly Doubles as Second Quarter Revenue Jumps 30%
September 11 2023 - 8:30AM
Virco Mfg. Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRC), the largest manufacturer and
supplier of movable furniture and equipment for educational
environments in the United States, today reported financial results
for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2023 (second quarter of
fiscal 2024).
Virco Mfg. Corporation today reported that revenue for the
second quarter ended July 31 grew 30% YOY from $82,797,000 to
$107,321,000 as the Company’s U.S. factories and logistics
converted a record backlog to nationwide on-time deliveries for the
new school year. In combination with stabilizing material and
freight costs, the Company’s domestic operations generated improved
profitability on the higher volume. For the second quarter,
operating income nearly doubled from $11,174,000 to
$21,254,000.
Year-to-date, revenue increased 23.8% from $114,881,000 in the
first six months of last year to $142,264,000 this year. Operating
income for the first six months improved from $6,430,000 last year
to $19,942,000 in the current year.
Gross Margin for the second quarter improved from 38.5% to
45.3%, due to a combination of moderating raw material costs and
improved operating efficiencies in the Company’s U.S. factories.
SG&A as a percent of sales increased slightly from 25.0% last
year to 25.5% this year. For the first six months, gross margin
improved from 36.2% last year to 43.4% in the current year. For the
same period, SG&A as a percent of sales declined from 30.6% to
29.4%.
Interest expense on the Company’s seasonal credit facility was
$1,083,000 for the current quarter compared to $698,000 for the
same period last year. Year-to-date, interest expense was
$1,795,000, or 1.3% of revenue, compared to $1,125,000, or 1.0% of
revenue for the first six months of last year. The Company has
adequate availability under its current facility and is able to
finance its growth organically, with improved profitability and
cash flows being generated by the higher revenue. Management
observes that timely deliveries have contributed to timely
collections on accounts receivable, leading to strong cash flows
through the middle of the Company’s busy season. Other key balance
sheet items such as inventories, accounts payable, and accounts
receivable remain favorably balanced with the increase in revenue
and earnings.
Commenting on the strong second quarter and first six months,
Virco CEO and Chairman Robert Virtue said: “We performed
exceptionally well in this year’s back-to-school season. We had a
record backlog of deliveries to make, and we made them. This
ability to execute is directly tied to our domestic U.S. factories
and logistics teams. As schools have extended their instruction
calendar to make up for pandemic-related learning loss, our summer
delivery window has effectively been narrowed. We have the physical
footprint and the operating know-how to make and deliver millions
of pounds of furniture in what is now a six- to eight-week delivery
season. This environment has been increasingly challenging for
import-based competitors. We are seeing a meaningful gain in new
customers in this new competitive landscape.”
Virco President Doug Virtue offered these additional comments:
“We consider ourselves fortunate to have come out of the pandemic
stronger than we went in. We are uniquely positioned to help
schools as they modify their calendars and curricula to address the
learning challenges faced by today’s students. Our vertical model
has proven highly adaptable to these accelerations. We have good
control over inventories, delivery performance, and the entire
order-to-cash cycle. Ultimately, this allows us to better serve
educators and students as they seek creative solutions to the
challenges of the last few years.”
