Tel Aviv, May 10, 2012 – Delta Galil Industries, Ltd. (DELT/Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, DELTY.PK/OTCQX), the global manufacturer and marketer of branded and private label apparel products for men, women and children, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2012.

Delta Galil reported sales of $168.1 million for the 2012 first quarter, compared to $157.4 million for the same period last year, an increase of 7%. The sales growth was primarily driven by strong performance of the Company’s business in North America and Israel.

Net income for the 2012 first quarter was $3.9 million before capital gains (net of tax), increasing 30% from $3.0 million for the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share before capital gains (net of tax) attributable to shareholders was $0.16 in Q1 2012, up from $0.12 in Q1 2011. Including capital gains, net income for the first quarter of 2011 (net of tax) was $5.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.

Growth in Global Markets, Continued Expansion

Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, stated: “We have started 2012 on a strong footing, delivering a solid performance in the first quarter. Our sales increase primarily reflected our growth in North America, where we have gained share in the higher end of the market, and in Israel, where our retail business including the Delta Kids chain continues to expand. Overall, we have continued to focus on innovation, inspired by our ‘body-before-fabric’ philosophy, with the goal of creating an expanding portfolio of products that are differentiated in the marketplace and have a strong consumer appeal.”

“Delta Galil continues to successfully pursue strategies to grow our branded business, geographic presence and product breadth. In this regard, we recently announced an agreement to acquire Schiesser AG, the leading underwear manufacturer and marketer in Germany, in a deal that is expected to close in July 2012. The Schiesser transaction will significantly increase our sales of branded products, add depth in Europe’s strongest market, and increase the Men’s component of our business – while being solidly accretive to earnings this year.”

Increasing Gross Profit and Operating Profit

The gross profit of Delta Galil was $31.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 8% over the gross profit of $29.0 million for the first quarter of 2011. Gross margin increased to 18.6% of sales for the 2012 first quarter, from 18.4% of sales in the 2011 period.

Operating income was $6.4 million for the 2012 first quarter. This represents an increase of 60% over the comparable operating income of $4.0 million (before $3.6 million of capital gains from asset and franchise agreement sales) in the 2011 first quarter. In addition to the growth in sales, the trend in recurring operating income reflected lower general, administrative and other expenses, largely due to favorable currency exchange rates. The operating margin increased to 3.8% in the recent quarter from 2.5% a year ago, excluding the effect of the capital gains in the 2011 period.

Strengthening Financial Position

Delta Galil had $75.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2012, an increase from $46.8 million on March 31, 2011 and $65.8 million on December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of a positive cash flow from current operations. Cash flow from current operations in Q1 2012 amounted to $19.4 million, compared to a negative cash flow of $3.1 million in Q1 2011.

Net financial debt as of March 31, 2012 amounted to $40.8 million, down from $79.9 million on March 31, 2011 and $53.8 million on December 31, 2011. The reduction in debt also was a result of the positive cash flow from operations in the recent quarter.

Equity as of March 31, 2012 amounted to $220.0 million or 50.9% of the total balance sheet, as compared with approximately $201.4 million or 47.9% of total balance sheet on March 31, 2011.

The Company declared a dividend totaling $1.9 million, or $0.0807 per share, to be distributed on June 20, 2012. The determining and "ex-dividend" date for this distribution will be June 6, 2012.
