Crown Crafts, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2006 Results

Gonzales, Louisiana – Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: CRWS) today reported net income for fiscal year 2006 of $8.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, on net sales of $72.6 million compared to net income for fiscal year 2005 of $2.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on net sales of $83.9 million.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 were $19.8 million, compared to net sales of $23.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. Net income for the quarter was $6.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.

Net income for both the quarter and the fiscal year benefited from the removal of a $4.2 million deferred tax valuation allowance. The Company’s positive taxable earnings trend indicates that there is no further need to recognize an impairment of the deferred tax asset and that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its $11.2 million NOL carryforward over the next several years prior to its expiration. Had the deferred tax valuation allowance not been removed, net income for the year and fourth quarter would have been $3.7 million and $1.8 million respectively. This change in estimate had no impact on income from operations or income before income taxes. In recent quarters, the Company’s income tax expense has reflected state and local income taxes only. As a result of the removal of the deferred tax valuation allowance, the Company’s income tax expense will include federal as well as state and local income taxes.

The decrease in sales for fiscal year 2006 as compared to the prior year is a result of certain customers changing their marketing strategies by decreasing the number of licensed products they carried and sourcing private label merchandise directly. Additionally, the Company has experienced price erosion due to the elimination of quotas on infant bedding items, which became effective in January 2005, and one customer of the Company has changed shipping points from the United States to Asia. Since the customer now takes ownership of the merchandise in Asia, the Company no longer incurs the cost of importation. The Company has increased profitability in spite of declining sales by controlling costs and reducing interest expense.

“We are pleased with the results for the fourth quarter and for the year. The Company has taken a position that we will price existing and new products aggressively; however, our philosophy is to maintain profitability in our business relationships. Although this position has negatively impacted top line revenue, our gross margin has improved considerably as the result of aggressive sourcing,” commented E. Randall Chestnut, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We are also proud to have completed the year with a zero balance on our revolving credit facility and a cash balance of $3.8 million,” Mr. Chestnut continued.
