DALLAS, Aug. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSW Industrials, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSWI), a diversified industrial growth company with well-established, scalable platforms and domain expertise across two segments: Industrial Products and Specialty Chemicals, today reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Net revenue during the fiscal first quarter of 2019 increased 14.2% (9.6% organic) to $102.3 million, compared to $89.6 million in the prior year period. Higher revenue was driven by increased sales in both the Industrial Products and Specialty Chemicals segments, primarily due to 9.6% organic growth and by incremental revenue related to acquisitions completed in the past 12-months. Increased sales were driven by the HVAC/R end market, as well as lesser increases in the architecturally-specified building products, rail, energy, mining and general industrial end markets.
GAAP operating income from continuing operations increased 14.7% to $20.3 million, compared to $17.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales volumes.
Net income from continuing operations in the fiscal first quarter of 2019 was $15.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude net favorable one-time items in the prior year period and applying a normalized tax rate to both years, adjusted net income from continuing operations in the fiscal first quarter of 2019 was $14.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2020 is off to a strong start as we executed well across both segments, highlighted by 14.2% consolidated revenue growth which included high single digit organic growth. As we look to the balance of the year and beyond, our team is working diligently to drive further growth across the end markets we serve and build on the successful integration of our recent acquisitions, as we remain committed to delivering long-term profitable growth and total shareholder returns.”
First Quarter Results of Operations
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations increased 14.2% to $102.3 million, compared to $89.6 million in the prior year period.
Industrial Products segment revenue increased 17.6% (10.0% organic) to $63.4 million, compared to $53.9 million in the prior year period. Higher revenue was mainly due to increased sales volume in HVAC/R organic growth coupled with acquisition related revenue of $4.1 million. GAAP segment operating income increased 22.3% to $17.0 million, compared to $13.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude non-recurring items in the prior year, primarily related to the sale of a facility, segment operating income was $17.0 million, compared to $13.6 million in the prior year period or an increase of 25.0%.
Specialty Chemicals segment revenue increased 9.2% to $39.0 million, compared to $35.7 million in the prior year period. Increased sales were primarily driven by increased sales volumes into the rail, energy, architecturally-specified building products and mining end markets. GAAP segment operating income increased to $6.6 million, compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude non-recurring items in the prior year, primarily related to the sale of a facility, segment operating income was $6.6 million, compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period or an increase of 34.7%.
Consolidated gross profit increased 12.1% to $47.2 million, compared to $42.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 80 basis points to 46.2%, compared to 47.0% in the prior year period primarily due to the impact of $2.0 million of non-recurring net gains in the prior year period that did not recur.
Consolidated operating expenses in the current quarter were $26.9 million, or 26.3% of sales, and declined 90 basis points over the prior year level of $24.3 million, or 27.2% of sales. As a percentage of sales, the improvement was driven by sales leverage, partially offset by increased personnel related expenses and costs associated with acquisitions.
Reported net income from continuing operations increased to $15.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude net one-time items in the prior year that did not recur and applying a normalized tax rate in both years, adjusted net income from continuing operations in the fiscal first quarter of 2019 increased 23.3% to $14.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share (28.9% increase), compared to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $12.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

We use adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted operating income, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, income from operations, operating expense, operating income and net income, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. We also believe these measures are useful for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-operating items.
