Coleman Cable, Inc. Reports 90.5 Percent Increase in Adjusted EPS for

Third-Quarter 2011

WAUKEGAN, Ill., November 3, 2011 — 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.

Various statements included in this release, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements. These statements include those made under “Outlook” and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “continues,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about Coleman Cable’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events, financial results, earnings guidance or financial performance contained in this release are forward-looking statements. Coleman Cable has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While Coleman Cable believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in Coleman Cable’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (available at www.sec.gov), may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from Coleman Cable’s expectations include:


   

fluctuations in the supply or price of copper and other raw materials;

 

   

increased competition from other wire and cable manufacturers, including foreign manufacturers;

 

   

pricing pressures causing margins to decrease;

 

   

adverse changes in general economic and capital market conditions;

 

   

changes in the demand for Coleman Cable’s products by key customers;

 

   

impairment charges related to our goodwill and long-lived assets;

 

   

changes in the cost of labor or raw materials, including PVC and fuel;

 

   

failure of customers to make expected purchases, including customers of acquired companies;

 

   

failure to identify, finance or integrate acquisitions;

 

   

failure to accomplish integration activities on a timely basis;

 

   

failure to achieve expected efficiencies in our manufacturing consolidations and integration activities;

 

   

unforeseen developments or expenses with respect to our acquisition, integration and consolidation efforts;

 

   

increase in exposure to political and economic development, crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation, and other risks of doing business in foreign markets;

 

   

impact of foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates; and

 

   

other risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” in Coleman Cable’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, any forward-looking statements represent Coleman’s views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date. While Coleman may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates change and, therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing Coleman’s views as of any date subsequent to today.
