(<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=MLHR\">NASDAQ: MLHR<\/a>)<\/strong>, announced results for its fourth quarter ended June 2, 2012. The company reported net sales in the quarter of $420.7\u00a0million; a decrease of 4.7% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. New orders in the fourth quarter, which totaled $443.8 million, were down 1.0% on a year-over-year basis. The results in the prior year fourth quarter include sales and order activity associated with dealerships the company has since sold. Excluding the impact of dealer de-consolidations, net sales decreased 1.2% and orders increased 2.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. On a sequential quarter basis, net sales and orders in the fourth quarter increased 5.2% and 23.1%, respectively, from the third quarter level.<\/p>\n<p>MLHR reported fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.20. This compares to $0.30 per share reported in the same period of fiscal 2011. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of restructuring and impairment expenses recorded in the period, totaled $0.28 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $0.30 in the prior year.<\/p>\n<p>The results in the fourth quarter and full fiscal year reflect effective income tax rates of 53.4% and 37.1%, respectively. By comparison, Herman Miller\u2019s fourth quarter and full year effective tax rates in fiscal year 2011 were 36.4% and 30.9%, respectively. A lower than anticipated manufacturing deduction, expenses associated with contingent purchase consideration, and other adjustments required to reconcile income tax expense with the tax return of a foreign subsidiary all contributed to a higher than expected rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Despite the income tax adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter, the company\u2019s longer-term effective rate expectation remains between 33% and 35%.<\/p>\n<p><!--Ad Injection mfunc mode ad code--><!--mfunc adshow_display_ad_file_v2(array('ad_random_1.txt'), array(100), array('align' => 'float right', 'clear' => '', 'margin_top' => '', 'margin_bottom' => '', 'padding_top' => '', 'padding_bottom' => ''), array(), array()) --><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:right;margin-left:5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-1408583772585547\";\n\/* SMW - in News 300 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"5684630733\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><!--\/mfunc--><\/p>\n<p>For the full fiscal year, net sales were $1,724.1 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 4.5%.
