WAUKEGAN, Ill., Aug. 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coleman Cable, Inc. (Nasdaq:CCIX) (the "Company," "Coleman," "we," "us," or "our"), a leading manufacturer and innovator of electrical and electronic wire and cable products, announced second-quarter 2011 financial results.
Highlights
- Adjusted EPS of $0.37 per diluted share, a 60.9 percent increase versus $0.23 last year;
- Sales increased to $219.9 million, up 26.3 percent compared to last year;
- Completed three acquisitions that strengthen and broaden the Company's portfolio - The Designers Edge (April 1), First Capitol Wire & Cable and Continental Wire & Cable (April 29) and Technology Research Corporation (TRC) (May 16); and
- Entered into new $250.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility agreement that expands aggregated borrowing limit by $50.0 million, provides greater flexibility, lowers the current interest rate by approximately 100 basis points for revolver-based borrowings and replaces our prior revolving credit facility.
Outlook
- For the third quarter of 2011, the Company estimates sales between $220.0 million and $240.0 million, and Adjusted EPS between $0.32 and $0.43 versus Adjusted EPS of $0.21 for the third quarter of 2010.
Second-Quarter 2011 Results
Net sales increased 26.3 percent for the second quarter to $219.9 million versus $174.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, on a 2.5 percent increase in sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped, excluding TRC). Second-quarter 2011 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.37 per diluted share and $21.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.23 per diluted share and $17.5 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2010.
President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, "We have been busy this quarter with the integration of our three new acquisitions and are quite pleased to have finished a strong first half by generating second-quarter results at the high end of our outlook. Our Adjusted EPS grew nearly 61 percent over the second quarter of 2010 as a result of higher sales and gross profit."
Mr. Yetman concluded, "We continue to believe our business is well positioned and that our recent acquisitions will not only strengthen, but also broaden, our already diverse portfolio, providing us with new product lines. While we remain concerned with the potential near-term impact of higher commodity prices, inflationary pressures and other economic uncertainties, our outlook for the third quarter reflects our belief that our overall results should continue to be strong, with the second half of 2011 further benefiting from an uptick in our seasonal business."
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.25 per diluted share for the second quarter compared to $0.18 per diluted share last year. Second-quarter 2010 results included $0.2 million ($0.2 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) related to a foreign currency transaction loss. Meanwhile, second-quarter 2011 results included acquisition-related costs of $1.7 million ($1.3 million after tax, or $0.07 per diluted share) and a gain of $0.8 million ($0.8 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) recorded in relation to the Company's previous 4.8 percent interest in TRC. Additionally, second-quarter results for the 2011 and 2010 periods included restructuring charges and share-based compensation expense. All of these items are excluded from the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results. Please see the attached schedules for a full reconciliation of GAAP results to adjusted results.
Share Repurchase Plan
On August 3, 2011, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions over the next 24 months. There can be no assurance that any share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company's debt instruments, the price of its common stock, overall market and business conditions and management's assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment.
Non-GAAP Results
In an effort to better assist investors in understanding Coleman's financial results, as part of this release, the Company provides Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are measures not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, restructuring charges, gains and losses on debt repurchases and refinancings, foreign currency gains and losses recorded at our Canadian subsidiary, acquisition-related costs, gains on available for sale securities, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EPS is net income calculated on a diluted EPS basis excluding asset impairments, restructuring costs, gains and losses on debt repurchases and refinancings, foreign currency gains and losses recorded at our Canadian subsidiary, acquisition-related costs, gains on available for sale securities, and stock-based compensation. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as measures in evaluating the performance of our business. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to measures used by other companies. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the financial information set forth below.
