Susan O’Farrell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “As mentioned last week on our earnings call, we are encouraged that our working capital initiatives drove a year-end cash utilization improvement of $52.2 million from full year fiscal year 2014. In 2015, we generated $39.9 million in cash from operations versus cash used of $12.3 million from operations in 2014. Additionally, net debt was reduced by $23.6 million for the 2015 year-end when compared to the same period a year ago, decreasing both our mortgage and asset-based revolving credit balances.”
