EXHIBIT 99.1
TULSA, Okla., July 14, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Educational Development Corporation (Nasdaq:EDUC) (http://www.edcpub.com) today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, ended May 31, 2011.
Results
EDUC reports net revenue of $6,264,400 for the quarter ended May 31, 2011 of compared to $6,295,400 and net earnings of $300,200 compared to $188,200 for the same period last year.
We are pleased the Publishing Division posted a net revenue gain of 14.5% for the quarter, while the Home Business Division experienced an 8.0% net revenue decline which is primarily due to decreases in direct sales, school and library sales, and home party sales. Our National Sales Convention was held last month where training on all aspects of the business was presented to nearly 500 sales consultants.
The increase in net earnings is due to a one-time casualty loss of $188,500 incurred in last year's quarter ending May 31, 2010.
