Minneapolis, MN, June 1, 2010 Hawkins, Inc. (Nasdaq: HWKN) today announced fourth quarter and full-year results for its fiscal year 2010 ended March 28, 2010. Sales of $257.1 million for fiscal 2010 represented a decrease of 9.6% from $284.4 million in sales for the prior fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2010 was $23.8 million, or $2.32 per share, the same as fiscal 2009 levels. LIFO inventory adjustments positively impacted income from operations for fiscal 2010 by $12.6 million (approximately $7.6 million, or $0.74 per share, after tax), whereas LIFO inventory adjustments negatively impacted income from operations for fiscal 2009, by $10.0 million (approximately $6.2 million, or $0.61 per share, after tax).
For the fourth quarter ended March 28, 2010, the Company reported sales of $57.9 million and net income of $5.5 million, or $0.54 per share, fully diluted, as compared to sales of $67.8 million and net income of $5.1 million, or $0.50 per share, fully diluted, for the same period in the prior year. LIFO inventory adjustments positively impacted income from operations for the quarter by $3.5 million (approximately $2.1 million, or $0.20 per share, after tax), whereas LIFO inventory adjustments negatively impacted results for the same period in the prior year by $3.0 million (approximately $2.0 million, or $0.19 per share, after tax).
Chief Executive Officer, John R. Hawkins, commented, We were able to match fiscal 2009 profitability levels due to continued growth in our Water Treatment business. The Water Treatment Groups unique route sales business model, which provides a high level of service to our customers, has continued to serve as a growth engine for us. We intend to continue to invest to grow our market share in current and new territories for this group. The volatile market conditions of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 negatively impacted our Industrial Groups profitability comparison, but this group did an outstanding job of retaining business gained in fiscal 2009 and growing volumes in higher-margin specialty and manufactured products.
For fiscal 2010, Industrial segment sales were $174.9 million, a decrease of 13.2% from fiscal 2009 sales of $201.6 million. The sales decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling prices for commodity bulk chemicals due to lower commodity chemical costs in fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by higher sales of manufactured and specialty chemical products. Water Treatment segment sales for fiscal 2010 were $82.2 million, a decrease of 0.7% from fiscal 2009 sales of $82.8 million. Increased sales of manufactured and specialty chemical products were offset by decreases in selling prices for commodity chemicals due to lower commodity chemical costs in fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year.

Company-wide gross profit for fiscal 2010 was $64.4 million, or 25.1% of sales, compared to $62.4 million, or 22.0% of sales, for fiscal 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by our ability to maintain relatively stable margin dollars on lower selling prices compared to the prior year in addition to an increase in sales of higher margin manufactured and specialty chemical products and the LIFO reserve adjustments. Gross profit for the Industrial segment was $37.3 million, or 21.3% of sales, for fiscal 2010, as compared to $41.5 million, or 20.6% of sales, for fiscal 2009. Gross profit for the Water Treatment segment was $27.2 million, or 33.0% of sales, for fiscal 2010, as compared to $21.0 millio n, or 25.3% of sales, for fiscal 2009.
SG&A expenses increased by $0.5 million in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily the result of higher equity incentive plan, variable pay plan and medical insurance costs partially offset by lower bad debt expense.
