CCA Industries, Inc Announces Year End Results

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CCA Industries, Inc. (NYSE ALTERNEXT US: CAW), announced revenues for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 were $57,457,946, net income was $1,412,886 and earnings per share fully diluted were $0.20. Revenues for the prior year were $60,877,867, net income was $5,537,795 and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.78.

Revenues for the fourth quarter ended November 30, 2008 were $12,048,192, net loss was $822,909 and earnings (loss) per share fully diluted were ($0.12). Revenues for the prior year's fourth quarter were $14,326,644, net income was $1,702,517 and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.24. Revenues for the fourth quarter were down because of the declining economy.

"In addition to the additional costs to operate in this economy, we increased our overall advertising expenses approximately $3,500,000 for the year, of which approximately $2,400,000 more was spent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, because we believe that a recession requires aggressive marketing. We decided that it was necessary to spend the additional advertising expenses in the fourth quarter to maintain consumer recognition for some of our brands."

"Our company is prepared for the economic challenge facing our country in 2009. We have already begun to streamline our operating costs for fiscal 2009 and to continue with productive advertising to support our products whose price points are attractive to today's price conscious consumer. Fortunately, our company has the capital necessary to meet our working capital requirements without the need of any outside financing. We therefore are confident that we will generate positive and profitable results by the end of our 2009 fiscal year," stated David Edell, Chief Executive Officer.

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.11 per share payable to all Shareholders of record February 3, 2009 for the first quarter ended February 28, 2009, payable on March 3, 2009.
