BRIDGETON, Mo., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Katy Industries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KATY) today reported net income in the second quarter of 2010 of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009. Operating loss in accordance with GAAP was $0.6 million, or 1.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $0.8 million, or 2.1% of net sales, in the same period in 2009. Excluding the non-cash impact of an adjustment to our LIFO reserves in both quarters, operating loss would have been $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, versus an operating loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
-- Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $38.6 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.5%, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was a result of two more shipping days in the quarter (64 days in the three months ended July 2, 2010 versus 62 days in the three months ended July 3, 2009). -- Gross margin was 14.4% in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease from 16.4% in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin was impacted by an unfavorable variance in our LIFO adjustment of $0.2 million resulting from an increase in resin prices. Excluding the LIFO adjustment, gross margin would have decreased 1.4 percentage points from the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of higher resin prices. -- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.0 million lower in the second quarter of 2010 than in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily due to prior year expenses associated with the transition and hiring of executive level personnel and a decrease in self-insurance accruals.
During the second quarter of 2010, Katy reported expense from severance, restructuring and related charges of $0.3 million associated with the Company's intent to close its Wilen facility in Atlanta, Georgia and relocate the manufacturing and distribution functions to Bridgeton, Missouri.
Other income during the second quarter of 2010 consists of a $2.1 million gain recognized from a settlement of an existing obligation due to Pentland USA, Inc. ("Pentland") and $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of process technology, partially offset by a $0.1 million loss on foreign exchange.
Katy also reported a net loss for the six months ended July 2, 2010 of $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the six months ended July 3, 2009. Operating loss in accordance with GAAP was $2.7 million, or 3.7% of net sales, for the six months ended July 2, 2010, compared to $2.8 million, or 3.9% of net sales, in the same period in 2009. Excluding the non-cash impact of an adjustment to our LIFO reserves in both periods, operating loss would have been $2.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010, versus an operating loss of $4.1 million for the same period of 2009.
Financial highlights for the six months ended July 2, 2010, as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009, included:
-- Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2010 were $72.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. -- Gross margin was 13.2% for the six months ended July 2, 2010, versus 15.6% for the same period in 2009. Gross margin was impacted by an unfavorable variance in our LIFO adjustment of $1.8 million resulting from an increase in resin prices. Excluding the LIFO adjustment, gross margin would have increased 0.1 percentage points from the six months ended July 3, 2009. The increase was despite the rise in resin prices and was a result of improvements in productivity, including the related impact on material costs and scrap reduction, as well as better sourcing results from lower cost countries. -- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million lower for the six months ended July 2, 2010 than for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to prior year expenses associated with the transition and hiring of executive level personnel and a decrease in self-insurance accruals.
During the six months ended July 2, 2010, Katy reported expense from severance, restructuring and related charges of $0.3 million associated with the Company's intent to close its Wilen facility in Atlanta, Georgia and relocate the manufacturing and distribution functions to Bridgeton, Missouri.
Other income during the six months ended July 2, 2010 consists of a $2.1 million gain recognized from a settlement of an existing obligation due to Pentland and $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of process technology.
Debt at July 2, 2010 was $25.0 million (66% of total capitalization), versus $15.8 million (54% of total capitalization) at December 31, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a $33.2 million credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association. The proceeds of the credit facility were used to repay the previous credit facility with Bank of America and pay fees and expenses associated with the negotiation and consummation of the new credit facility. Debt levels increased during the first half of 2010 as a result of the refinancing with PNC Bank, National Association, a required cash collateralization payment of $3.1 million to Bank of America to secure outstanding letters of credit until they are transferred to PNC Bank, National Association, the payments to Pentland in the amount of $2.0 million, and an increase in accounts receivable.
Operations used $7.8 million of free cash flow during the six months ended July 2, 2010 compared to generating $2.4 million during the six months ended July 3, 2009. The current year cash usage was a result of an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales, the $3.1 million letter of credit cash collateralization payment to Bank of America, and the $2.0 million Pentland settlement payment, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable due to improved payment terms with certain vendors and the timing of resin purchases. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is discussed further below.
"Our second quarter results were satisfactory considering the current economic headwind," stated David J. Feldman, Katy's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to make progress towards overall profitability and remain optimistic that our performance will continue to improve as the economy continues to stabilize."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide transparency about measures of Katy's financial performance which management considers most relevant, the Company supplements the reporting of Katy's consolidated financial information under GAAP with a non-GAAP financial measure, Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined by Katy as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to a comparable GAAP measure is provided in the "Statements of Cash Flows" accompanying this press release. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measure to analyze the Company's performance would have material limitations because its calculation is based on the subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find material. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reflected below to understand and analyze the results of its business. Katy believes this measure is nonetheless useful to management and investors in measuring cash generated that is available for repayment of debt obligations, investment in growth through acquisitions, new business development and stock repurchases.
