SHREWSBURY, NJ, February 4, 2016 Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on Friday, February 5, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 814-1918 and the pass code is WSTG.

Cash and long term receivables amounted to $31.2 million as compared to $30.8 million as of December 31, 2014. Cash and long term receivables represented 81% of equity and amounted to $6.64 per share as of December 31, 2015. Working capital amounted to $30.6 million, representing 79% of equity as of December 31, 2015.
2015 was another strong year for Wayside, as sales increased 12% to a record $382 million. In 2015 we invested heavily in additional sales staff for our Lifeboat division. We continued to execute our strategy of increased market penetration and adding new product lines to our portfolio. said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We bought back a total of approximately 274,000 shares in 2015 and we still have approximately 458,000 shares of Common Stock available for future repurchase. We will continue to buy back shares according to our 10-b5 Stock Repurchase Plan.
Net sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased 6% to $99.8 million compared to $94.1 million for the same period in 2014. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 for our Lifeboat Distribution segment were $89.4 million compared to $83.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 7%. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 for our TechXtend segment were $10.4 million compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 12% to $382.1 million compared to $340.8 million in 2014. Net sales for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2015 were $339.7 million compared to $290.4 million in 2014, representing a 17% increase. Total sales for the TechXtend segment in 2015 amounted to $42.4 million, compared to $50.3 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 16%.
The increases in net sales for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, in our Lifeboat Distribution segment were mainly a result of the strengthening of our account penetration and the addition of several key product lines. The decreases in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 in our TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions and large sales transactions in 2015.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $6.9 million compared to $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 representing a decrease of 1%. Gross profit for our Lifeboat Distribution segment for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014 was $5.7 million. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014 was essentially flat at $1.2 million. Vendor rebates and discounts for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $0.5 million.
Gross profit for the year 2015 was $26.6 million compared to $24.8 million in 2014, a 7% increase. Gross profit for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2015 was $21.5 million compared to $19.2 million in 2014, representing a 12% increase. The increase in gross profit for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was due to increased sales volume. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment in 2015 was $5.0 million compared to $5.6 million in 2014, representing a 10% decrease. The decrease in gross profit for the TechXtend segment was the result of decreased sales volume, offset in part by a higher gross margin in 2015 as compared to 2014.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for 2015 was 7.0% compared to 7.3% in 2014. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2015 was 6.3% compared to 6.6% in 2014. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment in 2015 was 11.9% compared to 11.2% in 2014. The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margins were primarily caused by the sales growth and product mix within our Lifeboat Distribution segment which carries lower margins than our TechXtend segment.
Total selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $4.5 million compared to $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Total SG&A expenses for 2015 were $18.1 million compared to $16.5 million in 2014, representing an increase of $1.6 million or 9.4%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in employee and employee related expenses to support our growth in our Lifeboat Distribution segment (salaries, commissions, and benefits) in 2015 compared to 2014. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 4.7% in 2015 compared to 4.8% in 2014.
For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Net income and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $1.6 million and $0.35, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $0.39, respectively for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income and diluted earnings per share for 2015 were $5.8 million and $1.25, respectively, compared to $5.8 million and $1.23, respectively in 2014.
On February 2, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share of its common stock payable February 26, 2016 to shareholders of record on February 16, 2016.
