HALLWOOD GROUP REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE
SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Dallas, Texas, August 17, 2011 The Hallwood Group Incorporated (NYSE Amex-HWG) today reported
results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. For the 2011 second quarter, the
Company had a net loss of $3.5 million, or $(2.31) per share, compared to net income of $4.8
million, or $3.14 per share, in 2010 on revenue of $36.7 million and $47.9 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the net loss was $4.5 million, or $(2.97) per share,
compared to net income of $10.0 million, or $6.59 per share, in 2010 on revenue of $63.5 million
and $95.1 million, respectively.
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K dated July 25, 2011, in the legal matter styled as Ray
Balestri, Trustee of the Hallwood Energy I Creditors Trust, as successor in interest to Hallwood
Energy, L.P., Plaintiffs and FEI Shale L.P. and Hall Phoenix/Inwood Ltd., Plaintiffs in
Intervention vs. The Hallwood Group Incorporated, Defendant; Adversary No. 09-03082-SGJ, the court
issued Proposed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Judgment Awarding Various Monetary Damages
(the Proposed Findings) proposing damages be awarded against the Company totaling approximately
$18.7 million plus prejudgment and postjudgment interest and attorneys fees as may be requested
and awarded pursuant to a subsequent motion. The Proposed Findings (including the awards) are not
final. Any of the parties may object to the Proposed Findings to the United States District Court,
which will then review the portions to which objections have been raised on a de novo basis. The
Company intends to object to the Proposed Findings and will vigorously defend against the entry of
any final judgment.
As a result of the Proposed Findings, the Company believes that for accounting purposes it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and that an estimate of the amount of the loss for
accounting purposes may be made. Accordingly, taking into consideration available objections to the
Proposed Findings, the Company has reserved $7.5 million at June 30, 2011. This noncash, accrued
reserve of $7.5 million is reported in the Companys balance sheet under Hallwood Energy matters -
Litigation reserve, in addition to the $3.2 million that was previously recorded in connection
with the Equity Support Agreement, for a total reserve of $10.7 million at June 30, 2011. This
reserve amount has been established in consultation with the Companys litigation counsel in the
Hallwood Energy litigation, based on their best judgment of the probabilities of success related
to, among other factors, the potential objections to the Proposed Findings. However, the actual
results of litigation cannot be predicted with any certainty and the amount of liability to the
Company may exceed any estimates or reserves.
Following is a comparison of results for the 2011 and 2010 periods:
Operating Income (Loss). The operating income (loss) for the 2011 and 2010 second quarters was
($5.2) million and $7.6 million, respectively. For the 2011 and 2010 six month periods ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, operating income (loss) was ($6.8) million and $15.8 million, respectively.
The decreases in revenue in the 2011 periods were principally due to a decrease in sales of
specialty fabric to U.S. military contractors as a result of decreases in orders from the military
to Brookwoods customers, partially offset by increased sales in its other market segments. Sales
of specialty fabric to U.S. military contractors of $20.2 million and $30.4 million in the 2011
second quarter and six month periods, respectively, decreased from the 2010 sales of $35.3 million
and $70.0 million, respectively. The military sales represented 55.1% and 47.9% of total sales for
the 2011 second quarter and six month periods, compared to 73.6% and 73.6% for the 2010 periods,
respectively. Military sales have historically been cyclical in nature.
Other Income (Loss). Other income (loss) consists of interest expense and interest and other
income. For the 2011 and 2010 second quarters, other income (loss) was ($10,000) and ($52,000),
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, other income (loss) was ($19,000)
and ($112,000), respectively.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). For the 2011 second quarter, the income tax benefit was $1.7 million,
which included a current federal tax expense of $780,000, a noncash deferred federal tax benefit of
$2.6 million, and a state tax expense of $114,000. For the 2010 second quarter, the income tax
expense was $2.7 million, which included a current federal tax expense of $2.4 million and a state
tax expense of $282,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the income tax benefit was $2.3 million, which included a
current federal tax expense of $190,000, a noncash deferred federal tax benefit of $2.6 million and
a state tax expense of $120,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, income tax expense was

expense of $595,000.
