Exhibit 99.1
MOD-PAC CORP. Reports Record Quarterly Product Sales and 43% Increase in Net Income for the Third Quarter of 2012
- Quarterly product sales of $15.3 million highlighted by custom folding carton sales which increased 10% to a record $12.3 million
- Gross margin and operating margin expanded 180 and 190 basis points, respectively, on improved leverage
- Strong net income growth of 43.2% to $0.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share
- EBITDA increased 18.6% to $2.2 million
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 31, 2012--MOD-PAC CORP. (NASDAQ: MPAC) (the “Company”), a high value-added, on-demand print services firm that designs and manufactures custom and stock folding cartons, reported total revenue of $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2012, which ended September 29, 2012, compared with $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2011. The 7.1% increase reflects higher custom folding carton sales, partially offset by lower waste paperboard sales. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was up sharply to $0.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, from net income of $0.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.
Daniel G. Keane, President and CEO, commented, “We had a strong third quarter, achieving record quarterly product sales on continued growth in our custom folding carton business. The growth in this line demonstrates the success of our sales and marketing initiatives as we increased the amount of business from several established accounts and added a number of new smaller accounts. We continue to anticipate solid product demand for the remaining part of 2012.”
Record Third-Quarter Product Sales Highlighted by Custom Folding Carton Growth
- Sales of custom folding cartons reached a quarterly record of $12.3 million, up 9.5% from $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional business from several existing customers, the ramp-up of sales from some large customers whose business was earned last year and, to a lesser extent, augmented by new smaller customers. Partially offsetting the growth was lower waste paperboard sales.
- Stock packaging sales remained relatively consistent at $2.3 million in the third quarter.
- Personalized print sales were $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, down slightly from the prior-year period.
David B. Lupp, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The combination of higher revenue, stability in the paperboard market and a continued focus on cost management were the main contributors to the margin expansion realized in the quarter. While these results are going in the right direction, we are continually working to improve the leverage within our business.”
Commenting on the infrastructure improvements to reconnect to the public utility power grid, Mr. Lupp added, “We have made significant investments in this necessary project and expect the conversion to the public grid to commence in the fourth quarter of this year. We believe this will provide us with a more efficient, cost-effective source of power, as well as reduce repair and maintenance costs associated with our cogeneration plant.”
Margins Expand Due to Leverage and Stabilizing Paperboard Market
Gross profit for the 2012 third quarter was $3.3 million, or 21.5% of total revenue, compared with gross profit of $2.8 million, or 19.7% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. Margin expansion of 180 basis points was driven by the leverage on higher sales combined with stabilizing paperboard costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased $0.1 million year-over-year to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 due to higher employee related costs. SG&A as a percent of total revenue was 12.4% for the 2012 third quarter, a slight improvement from 12.5% for the prior-year period.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash option expense (EBITDA) was $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 18.6%, or $0.3 million, from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. The Company believes that, when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of operating performance. (See the Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA in the attached table.)
Year to Date 2012 Review
Total product revenue for the first nine months of 2012 was $42.4 million, an increase of 2.5% from $41.3 million in the same period of 2011. Sales of custom folding cartons were $33.8 million in the first nine months of 2012, up 3.9% compared with $32.5 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to increased business from several large existing customers, partially offset by decreased graphic services revenue and a soft waste paperboard market. Stock packaging sales remained relatively flat at $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2012, while personalized print sales were down 7.7% to $2.0 million.
Gross profit in the first nine months of 2012 was $6.9 million, down 11.7%, from the $7.8 million in the prior-year period. The gross profit margin, which was impacted by sales mix, increased employee benefit costs, lower paperboard waste sales and higher paperboard costs, contracted to 16.1% in the first nine months of 2012 from 18.7% in the corresponding 2011 period.
SG&A expense was $5.7 million in the first nine months of 2012, or 13.4% of total revenue, compared with $5.6 million, or 13.3% of total revenue in the prior-year period.
EBITDA for the first nine months of 2012 was $3.7 million compared with $4.9 million in the prior-year period. (See the Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA in the attached table.)
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $1.6 million at September 29, 2012, down from the 2011 year-end balance of $3.9 million. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2012 were $4.3 million compared with $1.9 million in the prior-year period. The increase in capital spending was due to $2.0 million associated with the purchase of a seven-color print press and approximately $1.1 million toward the infrastructure improvements needed to reconnect to the public utility electric power grid. MOD-PAC expects capital expenditures in 2012 will be between $5.0 million to $5.2 million.
There were no shares repurchased by the Company during the third quarter of 2012. MOD-PAC has authorization to repurchase up to 200,000 shares.
The Company has a $3.0 million secured line of credit of which $0.2 million was in use through a standby letter of credit and there was no balance drawn on the line at the end of the quarter.

EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and option expense. EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, MOD-PAC believes that providing non-GAAP information such as EBITDA is important for investors and other readers of MOD-PAC’s financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by MOD-PAC’s management. Because EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
