Coleman Cable, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results

WAUKEGAN, Ill., November 4, 2010 — Coleman Cable, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCIX)(the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a leading manufacturer and innovator of electrical and electronic wire and cable products, announced third quarter 2010 financial results.

• Sales increased to $187.6 million, up 40.2 percent compared to the third quarter of last year;

• Sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) growth of 18.5 percent over last year;

• Adjusted EPS of $0.21 per diluted share, a 90.9 percent increase versus $0.11 last year;

• Adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, up 16.9 percent compared to last year

Third Quarter 2010 Results

Coleman Cable, Inc. reported net sales of $187.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $133.8 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 40.2 percent. Sales volume (total pounds shipped) increased 18.5 percent for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Third quarter 2010 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.21 per diluted share and $16.6 million, respectively, compared to $0.11 per diluted share and $14.2 million, respectively, for the same quarter in 2009.

President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, “We are pleased to report another strong quarter of performance and year-over-year growth in earnings. Our sales for the third quarter of 2010 increased significantly compared to the third quarter of 2009 driven by volume growth in both our Distribution and OEM segments, coupled with significantly higher copper prices. This sales growth served as the primary basis for strong increases in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS on a year-over-year basis, and more than offset the negative impact of pricing pressures on our margins caused by continued excess capacity in the wire and cable industry.”

Mr. Yetman concluded, “Looking ahead, industry capacity, volatile copper prices, and related pricing issues will continue to be challenges, and may be more prevalent in the fourth quarter where, relative to other quarters, industry-wide demand levels have historically been lower. In addition, we have noted a level of demand inconsistency, as well as a modest volume contraction, within certain areas of our business. As such, we remain cautious and have reflected this in our fourth quarter 2010 guidance. For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company estimates sales between $160 million and $180 million, Adjusted EBITDA between $12.5 million and $16.5 million, and Adjusted EPS between $0.04 and $0.18 per diluted share.”

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.18 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $0.05 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. The results for the third quarter of 2009 included a $0.4 million gain ($0.3 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) associated with debt repurchases made during that quarter. Additionally, the third quarter results for both the 2010 and 2009 periods included restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, share-based compensation

expense, and foreign currency transaction gains, all of which are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results. Please see the attached schedules for a full reconciliation of GAAP results to adjusted results.

Non-GAAP Results

In an effort to better assist investors in understanding Coleman’s financial results, as part of this release, the Company provides Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are measures not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).

These terms are used in this release as they are calculated in the financial information set forth below.
