BOWL AMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Bowl America Incorporated today reported earnings per share of $.35 for its fiscal 2019 third quarter ended March 31, 2019 and $.54 for the nine month period. Fiscal 2019 earnings benefited from the GAAP reporting of changes in investment value as part of current earnings effective July 2018.

The fiscal 2018 year-to-date earnings included a one time $.13 per share after tax benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
