KATY INDUSTRIES, INC.
REPORTS NET INCOME IN 2014 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
 
BRIDGETON, MO – August 11, 2014 – Katy Industries, Inc. (OTC BB: KATY) today reported net income in the second quarter of 2014 of $0.5 million, or $0.07 per basic ($0.02 per diluted) share versus net income of $0.1 million, or $0.02 per basic ($0.01 per diluted) share, in the second quarter of 2013.  Income from continuing operations was $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to income of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Operating income was $0.8 million, or 3.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to income of $0.5 million, or 2.4% of net sales, for the same period in 2013.
 
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
 
· Net sales in the second quarter of 2014 were $25.6 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 23.1%, compared to the same period in 2013.  The increase was a result of the acquisition of Ft. Wayne Plastics (“FWP”); which contributed $3.6 million in net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2014, and increased demand in our Continental business unit. The increase in net sales was partially offset, however, by a volume shortfall in our Wilen business unit and one less shipping day in the second quarter 2014 versus the second quarter 2013.
 
· Gross margin was 15.9% in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease from 16.5% in the second quarter of 2013.  The decrease was primarily a result of lower margins on the sales mix in our Continental business unit.
 
· Selling, general and administrative (”SG&A”) expenses increased from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to the first quarter acquisition of FWP, which increased SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2014, and one-time settlements received during the three months ended June 28, 2013.
 
The Company reported net income for the six months ended June 27, 2014 of $1.7 million, or $0.21 per basic ($0.06 per diluted )share, versus a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.09 per share, for the six months ended June 28, 2013. Income from continuing operations was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014 compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 2013. Operating loss was $0.1 million, or 0.3% of net sales, for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to $0.8 million, or 1.9% of net sales, for the six months ended June 28, 2013.

Financial highlights for the six months ended June 27, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2013, included:
 
· Net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2014 were $45.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 16.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was a result of the acquisition of FWP, which contributed $5.2 million in net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2014, and increased demand in our Continental business unit. The increase in net sales was partially offset, however, by a volume shortfall in our Wilen business unit and two less shipping days in the first half  2014 versus the first half 2013.
 
· Gross margin was 15.5% for the six months ended June 27, 2014, an increase of 50 basis points from the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily a result of higher margins on the sales mix in our Continental business unit.
 
· Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.2 million for the first half of 2014 as compared to $6.3 million for the first half of 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of FWP for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and one-time settlements received during the six months ended June 28, 2013.
 
· Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 27, 2014 includes a benefit as a result of the acquisition of FWP. The Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million which reduced its net deferred tax assets. The reduction in deferred tax assets caused a release of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million.
 
Cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.8 million in the first half of 2014 as compared to $0.1 million in the same period of 2013.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations used $4.0 million in the first half of 2014 as compared to $2.0 million in the same period of 2013. The increase in usage is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable and posting cash collateralization of $1.0 million with PrivateBank in connection with our letters of credit following the refinancing of our debt with the BMO Credit Agreement.
 
Debt at June 27, 2014 was $22.2 million, versus $7.7 million at December 31, 2013.
 
“We are pleased to report net income in the second quarter due to improvement in our operations” stated David J. Feldman, Katy’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We expect to realize ongoing benefits as we continue to implement our strategic operational plans and the economy strengthens.”
