Knoll Reports Second Quarter Results
EAST GREENVILLE, PA, July 17, 2013 -- Knoll, Inc. (NYSE: KNL) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net sales were $214.3 million for the quarter, a decrease of 3.0% from the second quarter 2012. Operating profit was $12.4 million, or 5.8% of net sales, a decrease of 40.4% from the second quarter 2012. The decrease in operating profit during the second quarter of 2013 was mainly the result of our lower sales and increased spending associated with our announced programs of strategic investments and initiatives to achieve our longer term revenue and margin objectives. Net income was $7.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $13.1 million during the second quarter 2012. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.17 compared to $0.28 during the second quarter of 2012.
"It was a whirlwind of a quarter as we pressed forward with our strategic investments to drive a more balanced mix of business within and amongst our different segments," commented Andrew Cogan, CEO.
"While, as expected, sales modestly declined in the quarter, if you excluded the impact of declining government shipments we outperformed the overall market. We remain committed to the program of investments we outlined earlier this year that aim to drive revenue growth and margin improvement over the longer term."

Net sales for the quarter were $214.3 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 3.0%, over the second quarter of 2012. Net sales for the Office segment were $148.1 million during the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 3.8%, when compared with the second quarter of 2012. Sales to governmental agencies continued to decline on a year-over-year basis which drove the overall decline in sales in the Office segment. Net sales for the Studio segment were $37.2 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 5.1%, when compared with the second quarter of 2012. The decline in Studio segment sales was the result of lower sales in Europe. Net sales for the Coverings segment were $29.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.9%, when compared with the second quarter of 2012. Increased sales at our leather subsidiaries drove this growth.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $69.9 million, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 6.0%, over the same period in 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 110 basis points from 33.7% during the second quarter of 2012 to 32.6% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin from the second quarter of 2012 largely resulted from pricing pressures in the Office segment.
Operating expenses for the quarter were $57.5 million, or 26.8% of net sales, compared to $53.6 million, or 24.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in operating expenses during the second quarter of 2013 primarily resulted from our previously announced strategic initiatives in part offset by lowered levels of incentive accruals.
We generated operating profit for the second quarter of 2013 of $12.4 million, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 40.4%, when compared to the same period in 2012. Operating profit for the Office segment was $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 60.9% when compared with the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating profit in the Office segment during the second quarter of 2013 was due to lower sales, price erosion, and increased operating expenses as a result of our growth initiatives. Operating profit for the Studio segment was $3.3 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 48.4% when compared with the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating profit in the Studio segment during the second quarter of 2013 was in large part due to lower sales and increased investment spending in Europe. Operating profit for the Coverings segment was $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 and 2013.
Interest expense decreased $0.1 million when compared with the second quarter 2012. Other (income) expense for the second quarter of 2013 consisted of income of $2.3 million related to foreign exchange gains offset by $0.1 million of miscellaneous expense. Other (income) expense for the second quarter 2012 consisted of income of $1.3 million related to foreign exchange gains.
The effective tax rate was 39.8% for the quarter, as compared to 36.1% for the same period last year. The increase in our effective tax rate was due in large part to the mix of pretax income and the varying effective tax rates in the countries in which we operate. Net income for the second quarter 2013 was $7.9 million, or $0.17 diluted earnings per share, as compared to $13.1 million, or $0.28 diluted earnings per share, for the same quarter in 2012.
Cash generated from operations during the second quarter 2013 was $20.2 million, compared to $20.0 million in the same period of 2012. Capital expenditures for the second quarter 2013 totaled $10.5 million compared to $3.4 million for 2012. We repaid $5.0 million of debt during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $10.0 million during the second quarter of 2012. We also paid a quarterly dividend of $5.6 million, or $0.12 per share, in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $4.7 million, or $0.10 per share, in the second quarter of 2012.
"Just as we remain committed to our growth initiatives in revenue and operating margins, we remain committed to improving our working capital and reducing our debt as evidenced by our $5.0 million debt paydown this quarter," commented Barry L. McCabe, EVP & CFO.
