The current quarter results include a $0.7 million non-cash loss, whereas the prior year same quarter includes a $0.1 million non-cash loss related to the interest swap contract.
For the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the Company generated net income of $4.0 million, or $5.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.4 million, or $14.58 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2012. Net sales for the first nine months of the current year amounted to $313.3 million, a 19.9 percent reduction from the $391.2 million in sales for the same nine-month period of last year. Results for the first nine months of the current year include a $0.4 million non-cash loss related to the interest swap contract, whereas the prior year same nine-month period contained a $3.8 million non-cash loss on the contract.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $8.4 million, or 8.6 percent of net sales, compared to $14.6 million, or 10.8 percent of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $26.4 million, or 8.4 percent of net sales, compared to $41.8 million, or 10.7 percent of net sales, in the same nine-month period in 2012.
Dana S. Weber, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The greatest factors affecting both the quarterly and nine-month comparisons are lower volume, less favorable product mix and weak spot pricing. We have seen improvement in some of our industrial sectors, but visibility into the future is limited. We hope for the return of more favorable volume and spot pricing conditions into fiscal year 2014. We continue to invest in a platform for long-term organic growth that is consistent with our niche strategy."
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased to $5.2 million from $5.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year. SG&A costs in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 were $16.9 million, down slightly from $17.1 million reported for the same nine-month period in 2012.
Interest expense was $1.0 million in fiscal 2013's third quarter and $0.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. For the first nine months of both fiscal year 2013 and 2012, interest expense amounted to $2.9 million. The Company is party to an arrangement that swaps the variable interest rate for $75 million of the Company's debt to a fixed rate through December 2017. The Company records the interest swap contract at fair value and non-cash changes in value are reported in Gains or Losses on Interest Contracts. Monthly swap settlements, if any, are included in interest expense.
Capital expenditures incurred amounted to $1.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine-month period of fiscal 2013. Capital spending for fiscal year 2013 is expected to be in the range of $9 to $10 million.
