Hancock Fabrics reports 1st annual profit in 5 years

Craft and fabric retailer Hancock Fabrics reports net income of $1.8 million for fiscal 2009 - its first annual profit in five years.

The company had lost $114 million over the previous four years, including $12.4 million in fiscal 2008. It came out of Chapter 11 protection from its creditors in August 2008.


In a news release last week, Hancock reported net sales of $274.1 million in 2009, down from $276.4 million a year earlier. Same-store sales - considered by analysts a key measure of a retailer's health - were up 0.2 percent compared to a 2.1 percent growth in the prior-year period.

As of Jan. 30, Hancock had 3,900 employees in 266 stores in 37 states and 300 at its headquarters in Baldwyn.
