EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CCA Industries, Inc. (Amex: CAW) announced record earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007. Earnings for the fourth quarter ended November 30, 2007 were $1,702,519 on revenue of $14,326,643. Earnings per share were $0.24 fully diluted. Revenues for the fourth quarter ended November 30, 2006 were $14,597,050, net income was $900,889 and earnings per share were $0.13 fully diluted.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 were $60,877,867. Net income was $5,537,795 and earnings per share were $0.78 fully diluted. For the 2006 fiscal year end, revenues were $64,100,023, net income was $5,604,251, and earnings per share were $0.79 fully diluted. The company has been working to adjust its business model by decreasing the amount of media advertising and focusing more on co-operative advertising with its retail partners. The reduction of media had a positive effect on net income for fiscal 2007. On the other hand an increased allocation for co-operative advertising reduced net sales in fiscal 2007 by approximately $1.1 million more than in fiscal 2006.

"Despite the many distracting issues the Company faced in the first half of the year, the Company went about its regular business in the second half, made some merchandising adjustments to focus on net profits resulting in a profitable fiscal year," stated Dunnan Edell, President. "In 2008, we are focusing on marketing partnerships with our retail accounts who have been very pleased with the results. We are extremely enthusiastic about 2008 as we will be emphasizing even more aggressive merchandising programs with our accounts, concentrating to expand the exposure of CCA's brands and to promote our new line extensions."
