\n EVANSVILLE, Ind.<\/span>, April 15, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Escalade, Incorporated (NASDAQ: ESCA) \u2013 today announced its first quarter for 2021, ended March 20, 2021<\/span>. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $59.2 million<\/span>, an increase of 58.7% over prior year, and a record for its first fiscal quarter.

“First quarter results were quite good, reflecting continued strong demand for our categories, market share gains, margin improvement due to increased factory utilization, and SG&A leverage. Through extraordinary efforts by our teams, we were able to mitigate some of the negative impact from supply chain and logistics issues, sharply higher raw material costs, and negative currency exchange rates. While these cost headwinds are continuing, they are not unique to Escalade and we are taking every measure to protect the profit margins which allow us to reinvest in the business, to support our retail partners, and serve our consumers with innovative products that bring families and friends together,” said Walter P. Glazer, Jr.<\/span>, Interim President and CEO of Escalade, Inc. <\/p>\n

“Late last year, we made a significant inventory commitment to ensure supply for our retail partners,” continued Glazer. “While we are carrying much higher than normal inventory, current supply chain issues and delays may work in our favor over the coming months.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Net\u00a0sales for the first quarter of 2021 were $59.2 million<\/span> compared to net sales of $37.3 million<\/span> for the same quarter in 2020, an increase of $21.9 million<\/span> or 58.7%. The increase in sales was driven by growth in nearly all our product lines, led by our archery and outdoor categories. <\/p>\n

Gross margin ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 29.5%, compared to 27.4% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to product mix and operating efficiencies. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $17.4 million<\/span> compared to gross profit of $10.2 million<\/span> for the same quarter in 2020. <\/p>\n

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $9.9 million<\/span> for the quarter compared to $7.5 million<\/span> for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $2.4 million<\/span> or 32.4%. SG&A, as a percent of sales, for the first quarter of 2021 decreased to 16.7% from 20.0% reported for the same period prior year. <\/p>\n

Operating income for the first quarter of 2021 was $7.1 million<\/span> compared to operating income of $2.4 million<\/span> for the same period in the prior year. <\/p>\n

Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $5.4 million<\/span>, or $0.39<\/span> diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $2.0 million<\/span>, or $0.14<\/span> diluted earnings per share for the same quarter in 2020. <\/p>\n

The Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.14<\/span> per share to be paid to all shareholders of record on June 1, 2021<\/span> and disbursed on June 8, 2021<\/span>.<\/p>\n
