Ironclad Performance Wear Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Mixed Performance Results in Flat Net Sales

LOS ANGELES, CA – August 7, 2013 – Ironclad Performance Wear Corporation (ICPW.OB), the recognized leader in high-performance task-specific gloves, announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Second quarter 2013 Results

The company reported Net Sales for the second quarter of $4.52 million, a slight decrease from $4.55 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Gross Profit decreased to $1.56 million, or 34.5% of Net Sales, compared to $1.78 million, or 39.3% of Net Sales in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in Gross Profit was due primarily to an increase in lower margin private label, retail and international business, as well as lower sales of higher margin gloves during the quarter.

Operating Expenses as a percent of Net Sales increased to 42.6%, or $1.93 million, compared to 38.7% of Net Sales, or $1.76 million, during the same period last year. This increase in Operating Expenses is the result of increased marketing spend, research & development costs and operating services, such as distribution and quality control expenses, to support the Company’s continuing growth and planned strategic investing for the long-term.

As a result of the above, Income (Loss) from Operations was ($369,121), compared to an Income from Operations of $26,821 during the same period in 2012.

Net Income (Loss) for the quarter was ($214,788) compared to a slight profit of $18,983 in the same period last year.

“For the first half of 2013, Net Sales were relatively flat when compared to the same period in 2012,” said Scott Jarus, Chairman and CEO of Ironclad. “Generally speaking, this is due to softness of KONG sales to our exclusive distributor. Conversely, we are seeing very strong performance in the retail automotive markets. Unfortunately, there is a significant difference between the Gross Margins for KONG and those in the retail space, which translates into a greater impact on the Company’s bottom line.”

Mr. Jarus added: “In addition to adding four new task-specific KONG gloves styles by the end of this year, we are working on a plan which will expand the marketing, sales and distribution of KONG worldwide.”

Guidance for 2013

The uncertainty of the aforementioned changes we are making with our KONG glove line prevents us from providing clear guidance for the remainder of 2013, and we are therefore withdrawing our previous guidance.  That being said, we do believe that there will be a need for additional spending in 2013 to support the new sales and marketing efforts for KONG and the Company’s continuing international expansion efforts. As we gain greater visibility into the results of our efforts, we will make you aware of any change to our view for the rest of the year.

“As a result of increased competition and worldwide demand, fundamental changes to the marketing, sales and distribution of our KONG gloves within the oil & gas industry are needed.” said Mr. Jarus. “KONG remains the ‘gold standard’ within the industry, but our current structure does not enable us to take advantage of certain opportunities, nor aggressively compete. We expect to make a material change to this structure in the near future.”
