Quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to quarter ended June 30, 2011
Total revenues increased 35.0% to $554.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $410.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of the assets of Micro, organic revenue growth in the United States was 18.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenues from the acquisition of Micro were $69.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Revenue growth in the United Kingdom was 16.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, consisting of 20.2% organic growth and a decline of 3.5% related to foreign
currency exchange. Commissions decreased 29.6% to $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. In the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2011, we earned a commission incentive from one of our vendors. This commission incentive was earned at a substantially lower level in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Additionally, commissions declined due to the loss of a pet food line that we represented for most of fiscal year 2011 that we are not representing in fiscal year 2012, and a shift in commissions to buy-sell revenues for certain parasiticides.
Gross profit increased by 28.5% to $69.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $54.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 12.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 13.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to the decrease in commissions, as well as lower product margins partially offset by improved freight as a percentage of total revenues. Vendor rebates for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by $286,000 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Operating income increased 24.5% to $23.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $18.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. SG&A expenses increased 30.6% to $44.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $33.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the addition of Micro and the added support for our revenue growth. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 7.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 8.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Net income increased 27.3% to $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $1.15 and $0.91 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 26.4%.

Commissions decreased 19.6% to $12.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $15.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to the same reasons described above.
Gross profit increased by 28.0% to $198.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $155.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 13.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 13.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to a reduction in commissions and lower vendor rebates as a percentage of total revenues.
