Richard Leeds, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the second quarter all three of our B2B businesses delivered revenue growth and improved their bottom line on an adjusted basis. We also made additional progress on reducing the losses of our consumer business. Our consolidated performance reflects a modest revenue gain, improved gross margin and the generation of positive adjusted operating income for the second consecutive quarter. The Industrial Products Group delivered another quarter of outstanding performance with a revenue increase of 20% and adjusted operating income up 16% and is on pace to generate more than $500 million in revenue in 2014. In B2B technology, we are encouraged by the recent trends in North America, and in Europe we are strengthening our value-added solutions offering. We continue to maintain a healthy balance sheet, and across the company we are working hard to add value for customers and to improve our overall performance."
At the end of the second quarter 2014, the Company had working capital of over $338 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $153 million, and availability under its credit facility of $115 million. Short and long-term debt totaled approximately $4.1 million at June 30, 2014.
