Second-Quarter 2010 Results
Coleman Cable, Inc. reported net sales of $174.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $112.9 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 54.1 percent. Sales volume (total pounds shipped) increased 27.5 percent for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. Second-quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS were $17.5 million and $0.23 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $11.1 million and a loss of $0.01 per diluted share, respectively, for the same quarter in 2009.
President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, "Coleman's second quarter 2010 results exceeded our initial guidance by a significant margin, showing strong improvement on a year-over-year basis and building on the positive momentum we experienced during the first quarter of 2010. Improved market conditions drove substantially higher volumes in both of our segments and were a significant factor in delivering strong results for the quarter. Additionally, our second-quarter profitability improved significantly on a year-over-year basis as a result of the continued benefits derived from our cost-reduction efforts and capacity adjustments made throughout 2009."
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.18 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $0.02 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. The results for the second quarter of 2009 included a $2.9 million gain ($1.3 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share) associated with debt repurchases made during the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, the second-quarter results for both the 2010 and 2009 periods included restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, and foreign currency transaction losses (gains), all of which are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results. Please see the attached schedules for a full reconciliation of GAAP results to adjusted results.
Mr. Yetman concluded, "Looking to the second half of 2010, we believe we will continue to generate strong quarterly results assuming stability in copper prices and a continuation of current demand trends. In addition, our second-half results should benefit from a seasonal uptick in our Distribution business, as well as continued increases in new product sales."
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). Management believes these numbers are useful to investors in understanding the results of operations because they illustrate the impact that interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other specifically identified items and/or non-cash charges had on results. These terms are used in this release as they are calculated in the financial information set forth below.

Second-Quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EPS
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, 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, and stock-based compensation.
As first noted in our press release for the first quarter of 2010, commencing with the second quarter of 2010, and with retrospective application to all prior periods presented, our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results included in this release exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, which previously had not been an item that we adjusted for when calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS. The decision to exclude such stock-based compensation from our reported measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS beginning in the second quarter of 2010 is consistent with management's overall purpose for using these adjusted measures as a means for assessing our underlying operating performance (as explained further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K). The above-noted change was made at this time given the Company's recent issuance of market-linked performance awards during March 2010, as further explained in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. We recorded $0.7 million in stock-based compensation expense for both the second quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2009. Because we issued awards in the first quarter of 2010 that are tied to the value of our common stock, the amount of stock-based compensation expense recorded for any given period will fluctuate as our underlying share price changes. For 2009, we recorded stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2009, respectively.
Reconciliation of Third Quarter 2010 Earnings Target to GAAP
For the third quarter of 2010, the Company is currently estimating diluted Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.26 per share. On a GAAP basis, the Company is currently estimating diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.22 per share.
* Rounding differences may occur for various calculated amounts.
