FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KATY INDUSTRIES, INC.
REPORTS 2014 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
 
BRIDGETON, MO – May 12, 2014 – Katy Industries, Inc. (OTC BB: KATY) today reported net income in the first quarter of 2014 of $1.2 million, or $0.15 per basic ($0.04 per diluted) share, versus a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013.  Income from continuing operations was $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, versus a loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.  Operating loss was $0.9 million, or 4.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $1.3 million, or 6.9% of net sales, for the same period in 2013.
 
Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
 
· Net sales in the first quarter of 2014 were $19.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 9.7%, compared to the same period in 2013.  The increase was a result of our acquisition of Ft. Wayne Holdings, Inc. (“FTW”) on February 19, 2014, which contributed $1.6 million in net sales for the three months ended March 28, 2014, and increased demand in our Continental business unit. The increase in net sales was partially offset, however, by a volume shortfall in our Wilen business unit and two less shipping days in the first quarter 2014 versus the first quarter 2013.
 
· Gross margin was 15.0% in the first quarter of 2014, an increase from 13.3% in the first quarter of 2013.  The increase in gross margin was primarily a result of higher margins on our sales mix in our Continental business unit.
 
· Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.5 million higher in the first quarter of 2014 than in the first quarter of 2013.  The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of FTW and incentive compensation expense for the three months ended March 28, 2014.
 
· Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 28, 2014 includes a benefit as a result of the acquisition of FTW. The Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million which reduced its net deferred tax assets. The reduction in deferred tax assets caused a release of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million.

Cash used by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $0.7 million in the same period of 2013.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations used $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $1.0 million in the same period of 2013. The increase in usage is primarily attributable to posting cash collateralization of $1.5 million with PrivateBank and Trust Company in connection with our letters of credit.
 
Cash flows used by investing activities in the first quarter of 2014 reflect an $11.2 million increase due to the purchase of FTW.

Debt at March 28, 2014 was $22.5 million, versus $7.7 million at December 31, 2013.
 
"During the first quarter of 2014 we successfully acquired Ft. Wayne Holdings, Inc.," said David J. Feldman President & CEO of Katy Industries. "Going forward we will continue our commitment to our core business and remain focused on additional operational improvements that will move us to profitability in the future."
