 Net Sales
Net sales increased $40 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013 to $395 million, from $355 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase was due primarily to sales of $36 million from the businesses that were acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and first quarter of fiscal year 2014 in our Global Pipe, Tube and Conduit ("GPTC") segment. In addition, higher volume more than offset lower average selling prices for our Global Cable and Cable Management ("GCCM") products and had a favorable impact on net sales of $9 million, offset by a $4 million decrease in sales of GPTC products due primarily to lower volume, and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of $1 million.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $5 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013 to $11 million, from $6 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase was due primarily to higher gross margins of $10 million as a result of higher average selling prices for GPTC products and the impact of margins at the acquired businesses combined with positive performance at GCCM due to higher volume and lower raw material costs, offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $5 million.






Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP): Adjusted EBITDA was $34 million and $26 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is shown in supplemental schedule E.

Total Net Debt (Non-GAAP): Total net debt was $457 million and $437 million as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Total net debt is defined as total debt net of cash and cash equivalents limited to $35 million. The reconciliation between total debt and total net debt is shown in supplemental schedule F.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended December 27, 2013 increased $32 million to $242 million, from $210 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase was attributable primarily to sales of $36 million from the businesses that were acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, and higher average selling prices of steel products of $5 million, offset by lower sales volume of steel products of $9 million.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended December 27, 2013 increased $4 million to $9 million, from $5 million in the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase in operating income was due primarily to higher average selling prices of $5 million, $1 million of operating income from the acquired business, and lower average raw material steel costs of $1 million, offset by lower sales volume of GPTC products. Average selling prices were 3% higher during the three months ended December 27, 2013, compared to the three months ended December 28, 2012.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $9 million to $163 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013, compared to $154 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase was due primarily to higher sales volume partially offset by lower average selling prices for cable and cable management products.

Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended December 27, 2013 increased $2 million to $12 million, compared to $10 million in the three months ended December 28, 2012. The increase was due primarily to the favorable impact of higher sales volume for cable and cable management products and lower average raw material copper costs, partially offset by lower average selling prices.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor provisions created by statute. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the sustained or further downturn in the non-residential construction industry; fluctuations in the price of steel and other raw materials; new regulations related to “conflict minerals;” our reliance on the availability and cost of freight and energy; changes in governmental regulation, including the National Electrical Code or other legislation and regulation; risks relating to doing business internationally; claims for damages for defective products; our ability to generate or raise capital in the future; risk of material environmental, health and safety liabilities and obligations; changes in the source and intensity of competition in business; the level of similar product imports into North America; our reliance on a small number of customers; work stoppages, employee strikes and other production disputes; our significant financial obligations relating to pension plans; unplanned outages at our facilities and other unforeseen disruptions; our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; the reliability of our information systems; cyber security risks and cyber incidents; risks inherent in acquisitions and the financing thereof; ability to identify, acquire, close or integrate acquisition targets successfully, our substantial indebtedness and our ability to incur further indebtedness; limitations on our business under the instruments governing our indebtedness; risks relating to us operating as a stand-alone company; and the risk that the benefits from the Transactions (as defined herein) may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected.
You should read carefully the factors described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, and those described in our other filings with the SEC. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. We operate in a continually changing business environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks that may affect us. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should be viewed as historical data.
