Ironclad Performance Wear Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
LOS ANGELES, CA – August 6, 2014 – Ironclad Performance Wear Corporation (ICPW:OB), the recognized leader in high-performance task-specific work gloves, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Second Quarter 2014 Results
The company reported increased Net Sales for the quarter of $4.8 million, a 6.6% increase from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, on stronger sales from international and industrial accounts.
Gross Profit dollars increased 6.3% to $1.7 million, or 34.4% of Net Sales, compared to $1.6 million, or 34.5% of Net Sales, in the second quarter of 2013.
Operating Expenses were flat to the prior year totals at $1.9 million. As a percentage of Net Sales, Operating Expenses decreased to 40.2%, as compared to 42.6%, during the same period last year.
As a result of the above, Loss from Operations decreased by $87,173, to a loss of $281,948, from a loss of $369,121 in the second quarter of 2013.
Interest Expense decreased $21,905 to $-0- in the second quarter of 2014 from $21,905 in the same period of 2013. This decrease is due to no borrowings under our bank line of credit agreement, the outstanding balance under which was reduced to $-0- during the first quarter of 2014.
Net Loss Before Provision for Income Taxes for the second quarter of 2014 was $281,705, or $0.00 per share, as compared to a loss of $390,984, or $0.00 per share, in the same period last year.
Net Loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $281,705, or $0.00 per share, as compared to a loss of $214,788 (net of a tax benefit of $176,196), or $0.00 per share, in the same period last year.
Ironclad’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Cordes, commented: “The 2nd quarter’s results were in line with our expectations and what was communicated to our shareholders earlier in the year.
The industrial segment of our business, including our largest partner ORR Safety, saw increased activity after a slower 1st quarter. This increase in revenue helped to offset year-over-year lower results in our retail segment, the result of declining AutoZone business for a single licensed product. Our international industrial segment continued to record strong increases. Our private label segment, after doubling prior year revenues in the 1st quarter, was off this quarter, but still up in the first half more than 35% over the prior year.
One of the highlights of this quarter was the awarding of the Trans-Ocean glove business to Ironclad and our partner, ORR Safety. Trans-Ocean consolidated its supplier base from six to two, of which Ironclad/ORR was one of the two winners. Trans-Ocean selected Ironclad, in part, due to our superior technology solution that met their workers’ performance and safety requirements.
While it is always good to see improving numbers, we have not deviated from our focus communicated at the start of this year. We continue to see 2014 as a rebuilding year at Ironclad. There are many changes underway within the Company, each of which is being made to better position Ironclad as we enter 2015. We are pleased with the progress our teams are making and the response of customers, vendors, our team and shareholders.”
