We are most satisfied with our sustained growth in the United States where our sales increased by 10.6% in US$, of which strong internal growth of 9.5%. Our U.S. sales accounted for 27.6% of quarterly consolidated sales. During the first three months, we distributed approximately $30 million to shareholders, considering the share repurchase of $27.1 million and dividends paid of $2.8 million. In March, we entered into two agreements in principle, subject to certain conditions, to acquire two distributors of specialty hardware that could provide us with additional annual sales of some $14 million. We continue to focus on our innovation and acquisition strategies and the creation of sales and operational synergies," indicated Richard Lord, President and Chief Executive Officer of Richelieu.

Richelieu achieved further growth in the first quarter of 2013
CNW Group - Thu Mar 28, 8:30AM CDT
(TSX: RCH) "Our results and financial position for this first quarter show that we continued to increase our total sales and net earnings and maintained a healthy financial position with excellent liquidity. Historically, the first quarter is the weakest period of the year as it includes fewer business days due to the holidays and renovation and construction work is slower during the winter months.
