The debt-to-equity ratio at April 30, 2018 was .10-to-1, as compared to .20-to-1 at April 30, 2017.

"The fourth quarter was an excellent quarter for the Company," said David M. Rausch, Kewaunee's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our sales and pre-tax profit performance for the quarter were very strong in a very competitive laboratory furniture marketplace." 

"Fiscal year 2018 was another year of growth for Kewaunee as we achieved record sales and pre-tax earnings for the fourth year in a row," said David M. Rausch. "Kewaunee's world class global sales network continues to focus on providing the highest quality products and services to our customers." 

"Coming off four strong years, I remain optimistic about Kewaunee's future and anticipate sales and earnings growth in fiscal year 2019. The pace of activity, both domestically and internationally, remains solid as customers are investing in projects that require the products and services we provide."
