MINNEAPOLIS - April 17, 2013 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Winmark Corporation (Nasdaq: WINA) announced today net income for the quarter ended March 30, 2013 of $4,057,500 (or $.78 per share diluted) compared to net income of $3,516,000 (or $.67 per share diluted) in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company’s earnings growth during the first quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the size and performance of its lease portfolio and, to a lesser extent, its franchising business which experienced slower growth when compared to last year’s first quarter. During the quarter, the Company reduced its bank debt by $6.3 million.

Winmark Corporation creates, supports and finances business. At March 30, 2013, there were 983 franchises in operation under the brands Plato's Closet®, Play It Again Sports®, Once Upon A Child®, and Music Go Round®. An additional 60 retail franchises have been awarded but are not open. In addition, at March 30, 2013, the Company had a lease portfolio equal to $35.8 million.
