“We are extremely pleased with our strong start to fiscal year 2018,” said Robert W. Humphreys, Delta Apparel, Inc.’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a media release, adding, “Our double-digit revenue growth and expected profitability in our seasonally slowest quarter reflects solid execution within each of our businesses and builds upon our strong finish to fiscal year 2017.”

Driven by the strong sales performance, the company expects to show pre-tax profitability in the fiscal 2018 first quarter, which is typically its most challenging quarter, compared to a net loss of 0.08 dollar per diluted share in the prior year period.
