Richard Leeds, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our consolidated results overall are disappointing, but we are encouraged by the continued strong, profitable growth of our Industrial Products business and the significant year over year reduction in our second quarter adjusted operating loss in our North America Technology business, which provides evidence that our performance improvement strategies in that business are beginning to take hold.  The sales performance of our European Technology Products business was disappointing on an overall basis and in several geographies, including the United Kingdom, we underperformed the market.  Although we expanded our sales teams in a number of markets, the productivity of these new agents has been ramping up slower than anticipated and contributed to the soft results."

"We continue to execute on a number of efforts to improve our performance across the business.  These include the following initiatives:

·
North American & European Technology Restructuring: In the recent months we have closed three retail stores; one in the second quarter, and two more in July.  Furthermore, we have decided to close an additional retail store in Chicago which should be closed within August.  We continually evaluate the performance of our retail store operations and will take actions as necessary.  Additionally, our new European shared services facility started initial operations during the second quarter.  We are pleased with the early results and yesterday our board of directors approved the expansion of the support functions the center will provide to certain of our European businesses beyond what we originally projected last year.  During the second quarter, one-time exit, severance and startup costs for the retail store closings and shared service center were $2.7 million, and we currently anticipate that additional one-time exit, severance and startup costs will aggregate between $19 and $20 million, pretax, during the second half of 2013 and through the end of 2014.

·
Global Industrial Marketplace: We have recently launched a new B2B marketplace on the GlobalIndustrial.com website.  This new business expands our SKU and category offering to our customers in a business model where the company will earn a commission from sales of products from third party vendors to customers of Global Industrial," Leeds continued.

"We clearly have more work to do to strengthen our overall performance and return to profitability, which is our primary focus.  The proactive steps we have taken to strengthen our competitive position, drive operating efficiencies and reduce costs are ongoing.  We are pursuing our growth strategy which includes a number of opportunities in our B2B businesses.  With a strong balance sheet and cash of $138 million, we remain well positioned to continue to execute on our strategic plan and drive our operating performance," Leeds concluded.

At the end of the second quarter of 2013, the Company had working capital of $347.2 million, cash and cash equivalents of $138.6 million, and availability under its credit facility of $104.9 million.  Short and long-term debt totaled approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2013.

1 Excludes revenue at retail stores, websites and call centers operating for less than 14 full months as of the beginning of the
   current comparison period and computed on a constant currency basis.  The method of calculating comparable store and
   channel sales varies across the retail and direct marketing industry.  As a result, Systemax's method of calculating comparable
   sales may not be the same as other companies' methods.
