    TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virco Mfg. Corporation (Nasdaq: VIRC) reported today that net revenue for the Company’s third quarter ended October 31, 2022 increased 35.0% to $77.4 million compared to $57.3 million in the same period of the prior year. While last year’s operations were constrained by supply chain and staffing challenges, the conclusion of this year’s summer delivery season was notable for improved efficiencies across most levels of the Company’s vertical business model. Gross margin for the third quarter was 39.8%, up from 35.4% in the same period of the prior year. The improvement in gross margin was due to a combination of higher volume and previously implemented price increases, which partially offset the ongoing impacts of inflation. SG&A declined to 28.4% from 31.0% in the prior year. Operating income improved proportionately to $8.8 million from $2.5 million in the prior year. After interest and taxes, total net income for the third quarter was $7.9 million vs. $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

    Through nine months, net revenue increased 32.9% to $192.3 million from $144.7 million last year. Gross margin improved to 37.6% from 34.8%. SG&A through nine months declined to 29.7% from 31.8%. Operating income through nine months was up 3.6 times, from $4.3 million last year to $15.2 million this year. Interest expense through nine months was $1.7 million vs. $1.0 million in the prior year, due to a combination of higher revenue and higher interest rates. As a percent of sales, interest was 0.9% through nine months vs. 0.7% in the same period last year. For the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, the effective income tax rates were 2.6% and 22.2%, respectively. The change in effective tax rates for the nine months ended October 31, 2022, was primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance needed for federal deferred tax assets and certain state net operating loss carryforwards which commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 and continued through the period ended October 31, 2022. Through nine months, earnings per share are $0.77 vs. $0.07 last year.

    The Company has also released an updated Investor Presentation on its website www.virco.com. This presentation addresses the unique characteristics of Virco’s domestically-based vertical model and how it relates to the highly seasonal market for school furniture and equipment, as well as the Company’s favorable position in regard to “re-shoring.” Virco currently operates over 2.3 million square feet of highly automated manufacturing and distribution infrastructure at its facilities in Torrance, California (strategically located ten miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach), and Conway, Arkansas, which services the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. market.

    Robert Virtue, Virco’s Chairman and CEO, commented on this year’s strong summer performance: “The COVID pandemic subjected many companies and institutions to a stress test. This was especially true for Virco, where for the past two years many of our public school customers were literally closed for business. But the diversity of our customer base is significant, and includes private schools, international schools, and public schools in regions of the U.S. where in-person schooling continued during the pandemic. This diversity demanded that Virco stay open to support students in those schools that were able to function. We maintained globally competitive costs, outputs, and deliveries despite the interruptions that characterized import-based models. I believe the stresses of the pandemic validated our efforts to preserve and enhance our domestic capacity. We are especially proud that our dedicated workforce came to work every day and delivered material improvements to efficiency, despite the many distractions of the pandemic.

    “What we do as a Company depends on what they do as individuals. Every chair or desk has to get made. Every chair or desk has to get delivered and installed. Our people delivered and installed over 21,000,000 pounds of school furniture in the months of June, July, and August. This level of operational strength may be un-equaled in our market. We look forward to building on this strength to support students, educators, and communities, and to delivering a well-deserved return to our loyal shareholders who have supported these efforts.”

    Doug Virtue, Virco’s President, elaborated: “We devoted a lot of energy to enhancing the capabilities of our U.S. operations. These enhancements continued even during the COVID pandemic, when many of our school customers were closed. We always believed that in-person schooling was essential—not just for students—but for parents, teachers, communities, and our shared aspirations as people.

    “I was inspired by the activity in our factories and shipping docks during this year’s summer season. Thanks to the optimism and resolve of our staff, we proved there is dignity in a job well done. I am thankful to our employees for their heroic efforts, and to our shareholders whose patience supported this performance. I also look forward to supporting the renaissance in public and private education. The last few years were hard, but the future looks bright.”
