WAUKEGAN, Ill., Aug. 6, 2012 (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 2012 financial results.
Second-Quarter 2012 Highlights
- Sales increased to $231.2 million, up 5.2 percent compared to the second quarter of last year;
- EPS of $0.44 per diluted share, up 76.0 percent versus $0.25 for the second quarter of last year, and up from $0.21 for the first quarter of 2012;
- Adjusted EPS of $0.46 per diluted share, up 24.3 percent from $0.37 for the second quarter of 2011, and up from $0.24 for the first quarter of 2012;
- Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on August 31, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2012.
Outlook
- For the third quarter of 2012, the Company estimates sales between $235.0 million and $245.0 million and Adjusted EPS between $0.33 and $0.51.
Second-Quarter 2012 Results
Net sales increased 5.2 percent for the second quarter of 2012 to $231.2 million versus $219.9 million for the second quarter of 2011 driven in part by a 5.9 percent increase in sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped, on a comparable basis) which together with sales from recently-acquired businesses offset the impact of lower copper prices on selling prices. Second-quarter 2012 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.46 per diluted share and $24.1 million, respectively, compared to $0.37 per diluted share and $21.4 million, respectively, for the same quarter of 2011.
President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, "We executed well during the second quarter of 2012, generating earnings that exceeded our outlook for the quarter and which represented strong growth over both the second quarter of last year and the first quarter of 2012. This significant improvement reflects a number of favorable factors, including continued volume growth across a number of our businesses, particularly with respect to our new industrial product offerings, improved marketplace pricing and contributions from our recently-acquired businesses."
Mr. Yetman added, "Overall demand for the quarter improved both sequentially and versus last year, but we continue to experience somewhat uneven demand patterns, with our overall volume levels for the month of June 2012 declining 2.9 percent from June 2011 levels. This June decline followed very strong year-over-year increases in both April and May, and was itself followed by a year-over-year increase in July of 2012. These recent results underscore the difficulty in assessing the nature of short-term sales fluctuations and whether they represent a fundamental shift in industry demand levels. Historically, our second half volume levels have been somewhat higher than volume levels recorded in the first half of the year as we benefit from incremental demand from seasonal products, and we believe the benefits of such incremental seasonal demand will help offset any protracted decline in industrial demand."
Mr. Yetman concluded, "Keeping the aforementioned factors in mind, along with the potential for further copper price volatility and general economic uncertainties, our outlook for the third quarter reflects our belief that our business will continue to perform well in the midst of such challenges and will also benefit from incremental seasonal demand. Furthermore, the top end of our guidance range represents significant incremental improvement on a year-over-year basis given relative stability in both copper prices and demand levels throughout the quarter."
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.44 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $0.25 per diluted share last year. Results for the 2012 and 2011 periods included restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs. Additionally, results for the second-quarter of 2011 included $0.8 million ($0.8 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) for a gain on available for sale securities related to the acquisition of TRC. All of these items are excluded from the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results. Please see the discussion of Non-GAAP results below and the attached schedules for a full reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Results
In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense ("EBITDA"), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items ("Adjusted EBITDA"), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EPS"). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, gains on available for sale securities, and acquisition-related costs.
We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We use these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. The usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.
Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.
