CARLSBAD, Calif., May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced net income of $1.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, on net sales of $46.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Our results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 included the negative impact of a $4.3 million accounts receivable and inventory reserve related to a former customer, which was not repeated in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $20.8 million, or 81.8%, from $25.5 million recorded in the comparable prior year period. During the same period, private-label contract manufacturing sales increased $19.5 million, or 86.2%, from the comparable quarter last year. Private-label contract manufacturing sales increased for a majority of our distribution channels worldwide primarily due to increased shipments of existing products and sales of newly awarded products to new and existing customers. CarnoSyn® beta-alanine royalty, licensing and raw material sales revenue increased 45.6% to $4.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $2.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. CarnoSyn® sales increased primarily due to an increase in material shipments resulting from higher sales to existing customers and the increase in athletic activities as gyms and athletic facilities began to reopen in accordance with easing COVID-19 guidelines for various cities and states across the USA.
Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $7.8 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020.
Net sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased $50.3 million, or 60.1%, from $83.8 million recorded in the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, private-label contract manufacturing sales increased $51.1 million, or 69.5%, from the comparable period last year. CarnoSyn® beta-alanine royalty, licensing and raw material sales revenue decreased 7.1% to $9.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to $10.3 million for first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Based on our current sales order volumes and future period sales forecasts received from our customers, we now expect our annualized fiscal 2021 net sales to increase between 45% and 55% compared to fiscal 2020. We also expect to generate operating income between 7% and 9% of net sales for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $28.1 million and working capital of $53.8 million compared to $30.5 million and $51.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million available under our line of credit agreement.
Mark A. Le Doux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NAI stated, "Sales and profitability for the first nine months of this fiscal year represent a new record for our company. Additionally, we continue to maintain a significant pipeline of orders for delivery in the coming months, and as a result have modified our outlook for the remainder of the year. While maintaining an enviable balance sheet, we are also seizing opportunities as presented to secure inventories for our future needs. This has been challenging for a variety of logistical concerns as issues with COVID-19 management have impacted supply-chains around the world. Nevertheless, we are planning for a robust future as it is clear to us that consumer trends involving making healthier choices will continue to be an enduring dividend from the difficulties of the past year."
"The dietary supplement industry continues to report robust demand for product and we are in line with that industry trend. We think this supports our belief this trend will continue and is not just a temporary effect of the COVID-19 pandemic."
"We continue to seek additional growth opportunities both organic and strategic and we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of such opportunities based on our strong working capital position, available capacity, and stellar reputation for excellence within our industry. NAI is the first and currently only company in our industry to be audited and certified by the Supplement Safety Compliance Initiative (SSCI), a retailer led initiative to bolster supply chain and consumer confidence for their member's nutritional supplement products. The implications for this certification are immense given that major retailers, both in brick and mortar as well as online are increasingly requiring this type of certification to permit products to be sold through their channels."
