CCA Industries, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2013 Results

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CCA Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT: "CAW"), a manufacturer and marketer of health and beauty aids, announced today its results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.  The Company had total revenues for fiscal 2013 of $38,853,387, and a net loss of $6,193,248 as compared to total revenues of $53,775,675 and a net income of $465,452 for fiscal 2012.  Basic and fully diluted losses per share were $0.88 for fiscal 2013 as compared to earnings per share of $0.07 for fiscal 2012.  Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $6,056,615, as compared to $11,373,749 for the fourth quarter of 2012.  The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $4,228,130 as compared to a loss of $352,929 for the fourth quarter of 2012.  Basic and fully diluted losses per share were $0.60 for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to a loss of $0.05 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.  The large loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was due to lower sales of the Company's nail color brand and diet brand, combined with higher reserves for returns and inventory related to the nail color brand.

"As previously reported, we do not anticipate those substantial losses continuing in fiscal 2014," stated Richard Kornhauser, President and Chief Executive Officer.   "We believe CCA is well positioned for fiscal 2014 due to the outsourcing agreement with the Emerson Group, which significantly lowered our costs.  The Company is investing some of this savings into a more robust media advertising campaign for fiscal 2014 which should promote the growth of our brands.  We expect to start realizing the savings from the outsourcing agreement beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2014," continued Richard Kornhauser.
