BRIDGETON, Mo., Aug. 1 MO-KATY-Q2-Results
BRIDGETON, Mo., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Katy Industries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KATY) today reported a net loss in the second quarter of 2008 of ($3.7) million [($0.46) per share], versus a net loss of ($0.6) million [($0.08) per share], in the second quarter of 2007, as adjusted to exclude restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items, which are discussed below. Including these items, Katy reported a net loss in the second quarter of 2008 of ($4.2) million [($0.53) per share], versus net income of $1.8 million [$0.23 per share], in the same period of 2007. The operating loss, as adjusted to exclude all restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items, was ($5.6) million [(12.3%) of net sales] in the second quarter of 2008, compared to an operating loss, as adjusted, of ($0.2) million [(0.3%) of net sales] in the same period in 2007. Net income (loss), as adjusted, and operating income (loss), as adjusted, are non-GAAP financial measures and are further discussed below.
Katy also reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of ($5.8) million [($0.73) per share], versus a net loss of ($2.6) million [($0.32) per share], for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as adjusted to exclude restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items, which are discussed below. Including these items, Katy reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of ($7.6) million [($0.96) per share], versus a net loss of ($2.0) million [($0.25) per share], in the same period of 2007. The operating loss, as adjusted to exclude all restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items, was ($8.5) million [(9.8%) of net sales] for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to an operating loss, as adjusted, of ($2.1) million [(2.2%) of net sales] in the same period in 2007. Net income (loss), as adjusted, and operating income (loss), as adjusted, are non-GAAP financial measures and are further discussed below.
During the second quarter of 2008, Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of $0.9 million pre-tax [$0.12 per share], including activity from discontinued businesses of $0.6 million and severance, restructuring and related costs of $0.5 million offset by the loss on sale of assets of ($0.2) million. During the second quarter of 2007, Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of $2.9 million pre-tax [$0.37 per share], including activity from discontinued operations of $7.0 million offset by severance, restructuring and related costs of ($2.4) million and a loss on the sale of assets of ($1.7) million. Details regarding these items are provided in the "Reconciliations of GAAP Results to Results Excluding Certain Unusual Items" accompanying this press release.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of $0.6 million pre-tax [$0.07 per share], including activity from discontinued businesses of $0.9 million and severance, restructuring and related costs of $0.4 million offset by the loss on sale of assets of ($0.7) million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of $2.4 million pre-tax [$0.30 per share], including activity from discontinued operations of $6.6 million offset by severance, restructuring and related costs of ($2.6) million and a loss on the sale of assets of ($1.6) million. Details regarding these items are provided in the "Reconciliations of GAAP Results to Results Excluding Certain Unusual Items" accompanying this press release.
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
-- Net sales in the second quarter of 2008 were $45.1 million, a decrease of $4.9 million compared to the same period in 2007. Overall, the decrease of 9.8% resulted primarily from lower volumes within our Contico business unit, which sells primarily to mass merchant customers, due to our decision to exit certain unprofitable business lines particularly in the face of rising resin costs. In addition, our Glit business unit incurred volume shortfall from reduced building industry activity.
-- Gross margins were 5.5% in the second quarter of 2008, versus 13.3% in the second quarter of 2007. In 2008, our margins were adversely impacted by an unfavorable variance incurred in our LIFO adjustment of $1.1 million. In addition, the Company is being impacted by lower volume within the above business units along with material costs increases which were not fully recovered from the marketplace.
-- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.2 million higher than the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily driven by costs associated with the transition and hiring of a new chief executive officer in April 2008 and higher expense under the Company's self-insurance programs.
-- Debt at June 30, 2008 was $14.9 million [34% of total capitalization], versus $48.9 million [57% of total capitalization] at June 30, 2007. The decrease in the ratio of debt to total capitalization was principally due to the reduction of debt levels from the proceeds received on the sale of businesses in 2007.
-- Katy used free cash flow of $10.4 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 versus using $10.0 million of free cash flow during the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The free cash flow usage during 2008 was comparable to 2007 as the Company benefited from lower cash requirements from the discontinued businesses offsetting the lower operating performance in 2008. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is discussed further below.
"The results of the second quarter were reflective of the current economic environment. Since joining the company in mid-April, my focus has been to determine how best to improve both our top and bottom line results," said David J. Feldman, Katy's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on developing new product offerings while driving cost efficiencies within our current products. Our performance for the remainder of the year will be dictated by our ability to recoup, through price, the raw material cost increases that are presently being incurred by us and the rest of the industry," added Mr. Feldman.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide transparency about measures of Katy's financial performance which management considers most relevant, we supplement the reporting of Katy's consolidated financial information under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Net Income (Loss), as adjusted, Net Income (Loss), as adjusted per share, Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Income (Loss) as adjusted, as a percentage of net sales, and Free Cash Flow. Details regarding these measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures are provided in the "Reconciliations of GAAP Results to Results Excluding Certain Unusual Items" and "Statements of Cash Flows" accompanying this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our performance would have material limitations because their calculation is based on the subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find material. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reflected below to understand and analyze the results of its business. Katy believes the presentation of these measures is nonetheless useful to investors for the following reasons:
Net Income (Loss), as adjusted, Net Income (Loss), as adjusted per share, Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Income (Loss) as adjusted, as a percentage of net sales: All of these non-GAAP operating measurements adjust the corresponding GAAP measurement to exclude restructuring and other non-recurring and unusual items, as appropriate. Following the recapitalization of the company in 2001, a comprehensive restructuring program became essential to the future viability of Katy. All other non-recurring and unusual items are typically indicative of non-cash impacts to Katy's results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are used by management as Katy believes that these measures are more indicative of the company's underlying business performance and that eliminating restructuring and other non-recurring and unusual charges provides more meaningful year-to-year comparison of the Company's operations.
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined by Katy as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and cash dividends paid. Katy believes that free cash flow is useful to management and investors in measuring cash generated that is available for repayment of debt obligations, investment in growth through acquisitions, new business development and stock repurchases.
This press release may contain various forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and beliefs of Katy's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the company's management. Additionally, the forward-looking statements are based on Katy's current expectations and projections about future events and trends affecting the financial condition of its business. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, detailed from time to time in Katy's filings with the SEC that may lead to results that differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by the company or on its behalf. Katy undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
