Industrial Services of America, Inc.
Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
LOUISVILLE, KY (November 7, 2014) — Industrial Services of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSA), a company that buys, processes and markets ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other recyclable commodities, and offers waste management programs and equipment to commercial customers, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Key Highlights for the Third Quarter ending September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013
· Recycling volumes increased 61% year-over-year, excluding the discontinued stainless steel blend operations
· Total revenue increased 4.2%, from $33.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $34.7 million in the third quarter of 2014
· Net Income for the third quarter of 2014 was $163,000
· Selling, general & administrative expenses declined 26%
· Operating income was $325,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2014, vs. an operating loss of ($3.0) million for the quarter ending September 30, 2013
· Interest expense declined 65% from the year-earlier period
· EBITDA improved by $3.1 million, from ($2.0) million to $1.1 million
· Diluted EPS improved $0.33 from ($0.31) to $0.02, despite 15.8% more diluted shares outstanding
Sean Garber, President of ISA, commented, “From the start, our focus has been producing RESULTS. The team has bought into this and understands that if our best efforts do not produce results, our efforts are wasted. We are nine months into our operational turnaround, and over this period revenues have increased every quarter, while operating expenses and interest expense have steadily declined. This is a function of our results-oriented culture and the fact that we expect each team member to perform his or her job at the highest level. While we are proud of the success we have achieved to date, we believe we have only begun to scratch the surface on the opportunities that lie ahead for ISA.”
Key Highlights for the Nine Months ending September 30, 2014, as compared to same period in 2013
· Excluding the discontinued stainless steel blend operations, revenue increased 24%, from $65.0 million to $81.1 million, on 24% higher shipments
· SG&A decreased by $1.2 million, or 22%
· Operating Income improved by $4.3 million
· Interest expense declined 57% from the year-earlier period
· EBITDA increased $3.0 million, from a loss of ($1.1) million to positive $1.9 million
· Net loss improved to ($1.1) million from ($3.5) million
· Diluted EPS improved to ($0.15) from ($0.50), an increase of $0.35 per share, on 5.6% higher diluted shares outstanding
Reflecting on ISA’s year-to-date results, Mr. Garber commented, “Every quarter that goes by, we distance ourselves from a historically challenging period, and the company becomes increasingly healthy. In just nine months we have learned how to generate substantially more profit on a smaller revenue base. Again, this is a function of focusing on a RESULTS-based business plan that all of us embrace as our road map to success. I am at a loss for words regarding how proud I am of the team and what we have achieved in such a short period of time.”

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA (1) and Net income (loss)
The information provided in this release includes EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the following table reconciles EBITDA to Net income (loss):
| | Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | Sept 30, | | Sept 30, | |
| | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
| | (in thousands) | |
Net income (loss) | | $ | 163 | | $ | (2,191 | ) | $ | (1,123 | ) | $ | (3,544 | ) |
Interest expense | | 191 | | 547 | | 676 | | 1,569 | |
Income tax expense (benefit) | | (17 | ) | (1,346 | ) | 29 | | (2,145 | ) |
Depreciation & Amortization | | 774 | | 988 | | 2,362 | | 3,041 | |
EBITDA (1) | | $ | 1,111 | | $ | (2,002 | ) | $ | 1,944 | | $ | (1,079 | ) |
(1) EBITDA is calculated by the Company as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation & amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The Company also uses EBITDA to determine its compliance with covenants under its credit facility. This non-GAAP measurement should not be considered in isolation and is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, we believe the EBITDA calculation provides additional information to investors and debt holders due to the fact that tax credits, tax rates and other tax related items vary by Company. Additionally, years of service for fixed assets and amortizable assets are based on company judgment. Finally, companies have several ways of raising capital which can affect interest expense. We believe the presentation of EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of performance exclusive of these unique items.
