JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2009 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
RACINE, WISCONSIN, November 20, 2009……Johnson Outdoors Inc. (Nasdaq: JOUT), a leading global outdoor recreation company, today announced reduced losses on lower net sales for its fourth fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2009. Total net sales for the quarter were $65.3 million compared to $81.8 million in the prior year period. While restructuring costs accounted for more than half of the reported operating loss in the fourth quarter, cost-savings helped offset the impact of declining sales on profitability during the period. Loss from continuing operations of $14.2 million, or ($1.55) per diluted share in the quarter compared favorably to a loss from continuing operations of $73.5 million, or ($8.07) per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Unusually favorable comparisons to the prior year for the Company’s current quarter and full year operating profit and income are due largely to non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges recorded in the prior year fourth quarter.
