WAUKEGAN, Ill., August 8, 2013 — Coleman Cable, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCIX) (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a leading manufacturer and innovator of electrical and electronic wire and cable products, announced second-quarter 2013 financial results.

Second-Quarter 2013 Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 were $233.8 million compared to $231.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million, from the second quarter of 2012. Sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped, on a comparable basis) increased 3.8 percent for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year and increased 7.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in net sales mainly reflects higher OEM segment sales, a greater contribution from the Company’s Engineered Solutions segment, which includes two additional months of results for Watteredge, partially offset by lower Distribution segment sales due primarily to lower copper prices, which declined 8.5 percent for the second quarter on a year-over-year basis. Second-quarter 2013 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.47 per diluted share and $25.1 million, respectively, compared to $0.46 per diluted share and $24.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2012.

President and CEO Gary Yetman stated, “Our second quarter 2013 results mark the third consecutive quarter of record Adjusted EBITDA for the respective calendar quarter, with our second quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $25.1 million representing an all-time quarterly high for Coleman. Additionally, our second quarter total volume was our highest quarterly mark since 2008 and included all-time highs within several areas of our business.

Mr. Yetman concluded, “Our recent results reflect the diversity of our business and the strength of our operating platform which have allowed us to deliver solid results despite copper price volatility and the negative impact of sequestration on our Engineered Solutions segment. Looking toward the second half of 2013, we anticipate continued modest demand growth. We also continue to closely monitor housing and commercial construction activities and believe we are well positioned to derive additional benefit from a sustained rebound in these areas. Visibility with respect to the timing and magnitude of such growth, however, remains limited and, as such, the benefits from such factors may not significantly impact our results in the second half of 2013.”

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded earnings of $0.41 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $0.44 per diluted share for the second quarter last year. GAAP results for the 2013 period included restructuring charges and share-based compensation expense, while results for the 2012 period included restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs. These items are excluded from the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS results. Please see the discussion of Non-GAAP results below and the attached schedules for a full reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Results

In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related costs.

We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful for investors because we use that information in evaluating the performance of our business. We use these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and serve as an indicator of business performance and management’s effectiveness with specific references to these indicators. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to

readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. The usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.

Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.
