Published: 2019-04-15 20:50:00 ET

NORTH PLAINS, Ore., April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCTCF) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six month periods of fiscal 2019 ended February 28, 2019.

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 totaled $7.86 million compared to sales of $13.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Income from operations was $57,625 compared to income of $720,244 for the quarter ended February 28, 2018. Net income was $119,629, or $0.03 per share, compared to net income of $508,298, or $0.11 per share, in the year-ago quarter.

For the six months ended February 28, 2019, sales totaled $16.9 million compared to sales of $22.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2018, and income from operations was $536,634 compared to $1,290,546. Net income was $469,323, or $0.11 per share, compared to net income of $830,731, or $0.19 per share, in the first six months of fiscal 2018.

"The results from the second quarter were disappointing, but were primarily from external factors," said CEO Charlie Hopewell. "The extended cold and wet weather across much of the United States caused retailers to delay purchases of Spring and Summer merchandise, and the tariffs on Chinese goods has resulted in continued uncertainty in the marketplace. So far in our fiscal third quarter however, we are seeing improvement in some important areas."

As of February 28, 2019, the Company's cash position was approximately $3.7 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 189,400 common shares at a cost of $1,651,706, or $8.72 per share.
