MARION, N.Y., May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seneca Foods Corporation (NASDAQ: SENEA, SENEB) reported that net earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, increased 267.9% to $41.4 million, or $3.57 per diluted share, compared to $11.3 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, increased from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 by 1.5%, to $1,276.3 million.  The increase is attributable to increased selling prices and improved sales mix of $34.3 million partially offset by a sales volume reduction of $15.8 million. 

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased from the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2012, by 1.7%, to $274.9 million.  The increase is attributable to increased selling prices and more favorable sales mix of $2.3 million and additional sales volume of $2.2 million.  Net earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2013 was $3.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2012. 

Excluding a non-cash after-tax LIFO credit of $2.0 million, net earnings per diluted share were $0.17 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus $0.75 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which included a non-cash LIFO charge of $11.3 million.  Excluding a non-cash after-tax LIFO credit of $2.7 million, net earnings per diluted share were $3.33 during the year ended March 31, 2013, versus $3.44 per diluted share during the year ended March 31, 2012, which included a non-cash LIFO charge of $30.7 million. 

During 2013, there was a gain of $2.0 million as a result of the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price of Sunnyside, a gain of $0.3 million from the sale of certain property located in Cambria, Wisconsin and a loss of $0.3 from the disposal of certain other fixed assets which are also included in other operating (loss) income.  During 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $0.7 million from the sale of property located in LeSueur, Minnesota and a gain of $0.1 million from the sale of other property which are included in other operating (loss) income. 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company implemented a product rationalization program and recorded provisions for related equipment costs, lease impairment costs and certain inventory costs which resulted in a $3.5 million restructuring charge for fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Net Earnings Excluding LIFO Impact, EBITDA and FIFO EBITDA

Net Earnings excluding LIFO, EBITDA and FIFO EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a basis for comparison to companies that do not use LIFO and to periods prior to 2008 when the company did not use LIFO and enhance the understanding of the company's operating performance.  The Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of reported net earnings and reported diluted earnings per share to net earnings excluding LIFO and diluted earnings per share excluding LIFO.

Note 2:

Note 3:

Other income for the prior year of $814,000 represents a net gain on the sale of unused fixed assets.

Note 5:
