Chromcraft Revington, Inc. Reports Second Quarter and First Half Results
West Lafayette, Indiana, August 14, 2012 – Chromcraft Revington, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CRC) today reported its results for the second quarter of 2012. Sales for the second quarter of 2012 were $14,169,000 or 2.5% higher than the same period last year, extending the positive increases over the prior year quarter that began in the fourth quarter of 2011. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $28,056,000 or 6.7% higher than the first six months of 2011. Our net loss of $2,720,000 for the first six months of 2012 was 11.1% lower than the same period in 2011.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $1,974,000, as compared to $1,254,000 for the same period in 2011. Most of the increased loss of $0.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the termination of our revolving credit facility with First Business Capital Corp. resulting in $0.2 million of fees in selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.2 million of deferred financing fees in April 2012. Excluding the impact of approximately $0.4 million of one-time expenses for fees related to the cancellation of our former credit facility in April 2012, our operating profit for the second quarter was comparable to the same period last year.
The increase in sales for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to increased shipments of commercial furniture, in particular office suites and waiting area furniture resulting from our acquisition of Executive Office Concepts, Inc. (“EOC”) in late March 2012, partially offset by lower sales of residential furniture product. The decrease in residential furniture shipments was primarily due to lower sales of bedroom furniture and occasional furniture. We continue to face the challenges resulting from weak consumer demand for residential furniture in our product categories and price segment, which we believe is consistent with industry trends; the continuing economic difficulties which reflect the ongoing labor and housing market struggles and reduced consumer access to credit. These factors led to a decrease in residential orders in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2012.
Cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2012 was $1.5 million as compared to $2.3 million used in the prior year period. The improved cash flow was primarily due to a lower operating loss and an increase in cash from net working capital. The Company had net borrowings on its revolving credit facility of $1.8 million in the first half of 2012 which was primarily used to fund the $1.5 million used for operating activities, the purchase of EOC and the payment of fees costs related to our new revolving credit facility with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC. (“Gibraltar”) and the termination of our credit facility with First Business Capital. Outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility at June 30 and August 10, 2012 were approximately $2.7 and $2.5 million, respectively.
Commenting on these results, Ronald H. Butler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Despite the continuing low consumer confidence in the economy and the very difficult retail operating environment, we increased sales in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year period, largely due to increased sales of our commercial furniture products to the health care industry, primarily through our purchase of EOC. The ongoing difficult operating environment in the residential furniture market will continue to be challenging in 2012.
Our acquisition in March 2012 of California-based EOC, with its commercial product lines, especially an extensive health care line, complement our current product line of seating, tables, and waiting area furniture. In addition, the three year contract we were awarded late in 2011 with the Premier healthcare alliance is expected to boost our sales in this product line. The health care sector continues to grow significantly and we believe this alliance continues to position the commercial line of our Chromcraft division favorably for the future. ”
Mr. Butler continued, “We were not in compliance with a financial covenant under our revolving credit facility with Gibraltar at the end of the second quarter of 2012 because our net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 exceeded the limit set for the covenant for that same period. However, following our discussions with Gibraltar, they have agreed to waive this covenant for this period.
Management has continued its efforts to reduce its net losses to be in compliance with the financial and other covenants in our credit facility for the third and fourth quarters of 2012. These efforts focus on increasing sales volume in both the residential and commercial product markets. Management’s anticipation of future growth is not contingent solely upon a significant improvement in the economic conditions for the furniture industry, but instead on identifying key opportunities in the residential and commercial product segments and providing the product and strong service to exceed our customers’ expectations. These efforts also focus on gross margin improvement, primarily by implementing identified cost reductions and improving efficiencies in our operating facilities and supply chain process, as well as exploring pricing opportunities. In addition, the Company will continue to closely monitor and control its selling, general and administrative expenses to be in line with its revenues.”
