WAUKEGAN, Ill., Nov. 3, 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 third-quarter 2011 financial results.
Highlights
- Adjusted EPS of $0.40 per diluted share, a 90.5 percent increase versus $0.21 last year;
- GAAP EPS of $0.37 per diluted share, a 105.6 percent increase versus $0.18 last year;
- Sales increased to $234.9 million, up 25.2 percent compared to last year;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $22.3 million, up 34.3 percent compared to last year.
Outlook
- For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company estimates sales between $190.0 million and $210.0 million, and Adjusted EPS between $0.17 and $0.31 versus Adjusted EPS of $0.12 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Third-Quarter 2011 Results
Net sales increased 25.2 percent for the third quarter to $234.9 million versus $187.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, on a 5.0 percent increase in sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped, excluding TRC). Third-quarter 2011 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.40 per diluted share and $22.3 million, respectively, compared to $0.21 per diluted share and $16.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010.
President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, "We are very pleased with our overall results during the quarter which included Adjusted EPS growth of 90.5 percent on higher sales and gross profit. Despite volatile copper prices during the third quarter of 2011, particularly in September, we saw improved product pricing across a number of our end markets, which contributed to the profit leverage we gained."
Mr. Yetman concluded, "Looking ahead, copper price volatility and other economic uncertainties will likely continue to present challenges in the fourth quarter, a quarter during which, relative to other quarters, industry-wide demand levels have historically been lower making earnings visibility a bit more challenging. Despite these factors, however, our outlook for the fourth quarter reflects a continued belief that our year-over-year results should continue to be strong."
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.37 per diluted share for the third quarter compared to $0.18 per diluted share last year. Third-quarter 2010 results included $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) related to non-cash asset impairment charges. Meanwhile, third-quarter 2011 results included acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share). Additionally, third-quarter results for the 2011 and 2010 periods included restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains (losses) and share-based compensation expense (income). 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.
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.
