The Company reported sales of $249.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 6% from $234.4 million for the same quarter of 2013. Sales in the first six months of 2014 were $487.2 million, an increase of 6% from $461.6 million in the same period of 2013.

Operating income was $15.5 million for second quarter of 2014, up 11% from $14.0 million in the same quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, operating income grew 19%, to $30.4 million from $25.5 million a year earlier.

The increase in operating income reflected both the rising sales and an expanding gross profit margin. Gross profit increased to 31.2% of sales in the second quarter and 30.8% in the first half of 2014, up from 29.5% and 29.0% in the respective periods a year ago. This was partly offset by higher selling and marketing expenses as Delta Galil invested in the growth of its business.

Net income attributable to shareholders was $9.7 million in the 2014 second quarter, compared to $8.8 million in the same quarter of 2013, an 11% increase. Diluted earnings per share attributed to shareholders rose to $0.38 for the 2014 second quarter, from $0.35 for the 2013 period. For the first six months of 2014, net income attributable to shareholders was $18.5 million or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $15.4 million or $0.61 per diluted share for the same period of 2013.

Management Comment

Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, stated: “Our strong results for the first half of 2014 were distinguished by record sales and profitability, sustained organic growth across nearly all of our business segments, and a solid financial base that will support Delta Galil’s future expansion and success. We are well on the way to our first $1 billion sales year, and in fact have already reached that milestone during the four quarters ended June 30, 2014.”

“The solid performance of Delta Galil is the product of sharply focused strategies to diversify our portfolio, invest in innovation, and strengthen our financial resources. As a result, we have delivered 19 straight quarters of organic sales growth, driven by such diverse engines as brands, activewear and retail. By broadening our global presence, we are positioned to grow in markets as diverse as Israel, Germany and North America. Our decision to expand the branded business has also led to meaningful margin improvement. And our capacity to continue this profitable growth is supported by a strong balance sheet, with $336.3 million in equity and low financial leverage.”

“We are continuing to invest in Delta Galil’s future growth, including manufacturing capacity, retail store enhancements and other areas that will reinforce our reputation for innovation, quality and customer service,” Mr. Dabah concluded.
