FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 24, 2012
Interline Brands Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2011 Sales and Earnings Results
Jacksonville, Fla. February 24, 2012 - Interline Brands, Inc. (NYSE: IBI) (Interline or the Company), a leading distributor and direct marketer of maintenance, repair and operations products (MRO), reported earnings of $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter and $1.12 per diluted share for the year ended December 30, 2011.
2011 was a successful investment year in which we strengthened and expanded our business and our team. We acquired Northern Colorado Paper to extend our leading position in an attractive end-market, increased our sales force in key areas, added our fourth regional replenishment center to enhance scale and fulfillment rates, consolidated a number of distribution centers and expanded our technology and customer capabilities. We also delivered solid financial performance. In particular, adjusted EBITDA increased over 12% to $109.6 million during the year, and we increased our free cash flow over 24% to $53.5 million. In 2012, we expect to further leverage these capabilities and our very strong balance sheet to deliver improved results, commented Michael J. Grebe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Performance
Sales for the quarter ended December 30, 2011 were $303.0 million, a 2.8% increase compared to sales of $294.8 million in the comparable 2010 period. On an average organic daily basis, sales increased 2.2% for the quarter. Interlines facilities maintenance end-market, which comprised 74% of sales, increased 13.6% on an average daily basis during the fourth quarter, and 3.4% on an average organic daily
basis. The professional contractor end-market, which comprised 15% of sales, increased 0.5% on an average daily basis for the quarter. The specialty distributor end-market, which comprised 11% of sales, decreased 1.9% on an average daily basis for the quarter.
Gross profit increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, to $113.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $112.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased 90 basis points to 37.3% compared to 38.2% for the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily related to the recent acquisitions of CleanSource, Inc. (CleanSource) and Northern Colorado Paper (NCP), as they had lower gross profit margins.
Our end-market fundamentals are improving. Multi-family remains strong, we are seeing increased activity from our stable base of institutional customers as we deliver a broader MRO offering, and our residential-focused business is beginning to see some slightly higher demand. These fundamentals, combined with our investments, are delivering growth. For example, excluding the well-publicized impact of the R22 HVAC transition late in 2010, our fourth quarter average organic daily sales were up 4.2% over last year, commented Kenneth D. Sweder, Interlines President and Chief Operating Officer.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased $1.0 million, or 1.2%, to $88.2 million from $87.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 29.1% from 29.6% for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Fourth quarter 2011 Adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million, or 8.4% of sales, decreased 1.9% compared to $26.1 million, or 8.8% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Net income for the quarter ended December 30, 2011 increased $6.8 million to $8.6 million compared to $1.7 million in the comparable 2010 period.
Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $0.26 compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.05 for the fourth quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010 include a $0.20 per diluted share impact from our November 2010 refinancing.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased 978,384 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $14.0 million, or an average cost of $14.28 per share.
Fiscal Year 2011 Performance
Sales in 2011 were $1,249.5 million, a 14.9% increase over sales of $1,087.0 million in 2010.

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 30, 2011 were $354.8 million, or 28.4% of sales, compared to $318.8 million, or 29.3% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Earnings per diluted share for the year ended December 30, 2011 include a $0.02 per diluted share charge associated with ongoing efforts to enhance the Companys distribution network. Earnings per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2010 include a $0.20 per diluted share impact from our November 2010 refinancing, a $0.06 per diluted share charge associated with ongoing efforts to enhance the Companys distribution network and a $0.02 per diluted share charge associated with previously announced changes in the Companys executive management.
During 2011, the Company completed the repurchase of $25.0 million worth of its common stock under a previously announced share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors. In total, the Company repurchased 1,783,822 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $14.01 per share.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share differs from US GAAP earnings per diluted share. We define Adjusted earnings per diluted share as earnings per diluted share plus the tax-effected impact of loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net, divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is presented herein because we believe it to be relevant and useful information to our investors since it is consistently used by our management to evaluate the overall operating performance of our business and to compare our operating performance with prior periods. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excludes certain items which we believe are not indicative of our core operating results thereby enhancing the comparability of results. However, Adjusted earnings per diluted share is not a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with US GAAP, such as gross margin, operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, as defined under US GAAP, less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of our liquidity and therefore our ability to reduce debt and make strategic investments after considering the capital expenditures necessary to operate the business. We use free cash flow in the evaluation of the Companys business performance. However, a limitation of this measure is that it does not reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates its investments and acquisitions through other return on capital measures.

(1) Average daily sales are defined as sales for a period of time divided by the number of shipping days in that period of time.
(2) Average organic daily sales are defined as sales for a period of time divided by the number of shipping days in that period of time excluding any sales from acquisitions made subsequent to the beginning of the prior year period.
Average organic daily sales is presented herein because we believe it to be relevant and useful information to our investors since it is used by management to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as adjusted to exclude the impact of acquisitions, and compare our organic operating performance with that of our competitors. However, average organic daily sales is not a measure of financial performance under US GAAP and it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with US GAAP, such as net sales. Management utilizes average organic daily sales as an operating performance measure in conjunction with US GAAP measures such as net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA differs from Consolidated EBITDA per our credit facility agreement for purposes of determining our net leverage ratio. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense (income), net, loss on extinguishment of debt, net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because we believe it to be relevant and useful information to our investors since it is consistently used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business and to compare our operating performance with that of our competitors. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets, and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items, which we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. We therefore utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a useful alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance compared to the Companys plan. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with US GAAP, such as gross margin, operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP. While we believe that some of the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not indicative of our core operating results, these items do impact our income statement, and management therefore utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with US GAAP measures, such as gross margin, operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
