Exhibit 99.1
Coleman Cable, Inc. Announces Fourth-Quarter and
Full-Year 2010 Financial Results
WAUKEGAN, Ill., March 7, 2011 — 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 fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 financial results.
Full Year 2010 Highlights
| • | Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS) increased to $0.69 per diluted share versus $0.07 last year; |
| • | Sales increased to $703.8 million, up 39.6 percent compared to 2009, with sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) growth of 16.7 percent over last year. |
Fourth-Quarter 2010 Highlights
| • | Adjusted EPS of $0.12 per diluted share, a 20.0 percent increase versus $0.10 last year; |
| • | Sales increased to $186.2 million, up 32.9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of last year, with sales volume growth of 12.6 percent over last year. |
Outlook
| • | For the first quarter of 2011, the Company estimates sales between $190.0 million and $200.0 million and Adjusted EPS between $0.18 and $0.27 versus Adjusted EPS of $0.12 for the first quarter of 2010. |
Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Results
Net sales increased 32.9 percent for the fourth quarter to $186.2 million versus $140.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, on a 12.6 percent increase in sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped). Fourth-quarter 2010 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.12 per diluted share and $14.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.10 per diluted share and $15.1 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2009.
Net sales increased 39.6 percent for the full year of 2010 to $703.8 million versus $504.2 million last year, on a 16.7 percent increase in sales volume. Full-year Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.69 per diluted share and $63.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.07 per diluted share and $50.2 million, respectively, in 2009.
President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, “We are very pleased with our 2010 performance, including the fourth quarter. We finished 2010 with Adjusted EPS of $0.69 per share compared to $0.07 for 2009, on a strong rebound in demand. Meanwhile, during the fourth quarter of 2010, we saw continued sales growth and improved Adjusted EPS despite the continuing challenge of excess industry capacity, and a sharp rise in copper prices, which placed pressure on our margins. Continued growth in Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2010 and for the full year is attributable to improved sales levels, as well as the actions we took to adjust and realign our expense structure during the downturn of 2008 and 2009.”
Mr. Yetman concluded, “We believe we are well positioned going into 2011 and our earnings outlook for the first quarter of 2011 reflects our belief that our results should benefit given stability in copper prices and the continuation of demand levels seen thus far in 2011.”
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.21 per diluted share for 2010, including $0.08 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $3.99 per diluted share last year, including a loss of $0.20 for the fourth quarter last year. The income tax expense (benefit) line item for the fourth quarter of 2009 included an out-of-period adjustment which increased fourth quarter 2009 income tax expense by $2.9 million (or $0.18 per diluted share) to correct the amount of income tax benefit recorded in relation to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $69.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2009. This adjustment had no impact on full-year 2009 results. Meanwhile, the fourth-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 the Company’s 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). Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, restructuring charges, gains and losses on debt repurchases and refinancings, foreign currency gains and losses recorded at our Canadian subsidiary, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EPS is net income calculated on a diluted EPS basis excluding asset impairments, restructuring costs, gains and losses on debt repurchases and refinancings, foreign currency gains and losses recorded at our Canadian subsidiary, and stock-based compensation. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as measures in evaluating the performance of our business. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to measures used by other companies. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the financial information set forth below.
