SUNBURY, Pa., Oct. 31, 2016
SUNBURY, Pa., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE: WMK) today announced its third quarter sales increased 4.4 percent to $743.0 million compared to $712.0 million for the same period in 2015. Comparable store sales for the thirteen week period ended September 24, 2016 increased 2.7 percent.
In the third quarter, the Company's net income declined 16.9 percent to $10.6 million compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2015. The company's earnings per share totaled $0.40 compared to $0.48 per share for the same period in 2015.
The Company attributed the decline in its third quarter net-income primarily to $4.4 million in net costs related to the acquisition, conversion and reopening of five former Mars Super Markets in the Baltimore market and ten former Food Lion units in Maryland. In the fourth quarter, it will complete the conversion of 28 additional former Food Lion units in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
"In the third quarter, we invested in driving sales during a time of record growth for our company despite significant deflation in key categories, notably meat and dairy," said Jonathan Weis, Weis Markets' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Year to date
For the 39 week period ended September 24, 2016, the Company's sales increased 3.2 percent to $2.2 billion compared to $2.1 billion for the same period in 2015 while year-to-date comparable store sales increased 2.7 percent.
Year-to-date income increased 7.6 percent to $46.0 million compared to $42.8 million in 2015. Earnings per share for the same period totaled $1.71 compared to $1.59 in 2015.
