BRIDGETON, MO – August 10, 2015 – Katy Industries, Inc. (OTC BB: KATY), a leading manufacturer, importer and distributor of commercial cleaning and consumer storage products, as well as a contract manufacturer of structural foam products, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2015.
 
“We were pleased to announce the acquisition of an Ohio manufacturing facility which brings a breadth of shelving and storage cabinet solutions to the Katy consumer storage product line,” said David J. Feldman, Katy Chief Executive Officer. “As a result of the acquisition we amended our credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. and entered into a second lien credit agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC. In addition, we continued the relocation of our Bridgeton Facility to Jefferson City. We anticipate the acquisition of the Ohio manufacturing facility and the relocation of our primary manufacturing location will drive significant improvement in both sales and profitability for future years.”

Mr. Feldman continued, “We achieved significant gains in operating income, excluding one-time costs associated with the aforementioned acquisition and relocation costs, with our ongoing strategic initiatives to improve gross margins.”

Second Quarter Financial Results
 
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
 
· Net sales in the second quarter of 2015 were $31.3 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 22.4%, compared to the same period in 2014.  The increase was a result of increased demand in our Continental business unit and the acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility during the quarter in 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2014.
 
· Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million higher in the second quarter of 2015 than in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to acquisition costs related to the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility.

· Severance, restructuring and related charges were $0.5 million for the three months ended June 26, 2015 for costs associated with the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri manufacturing facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.
 

· Operating income was $0.3 million, or 1.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $0.8 million, or 3.1% of net sales, for the same period in 2014. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation and acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility, operating income was $1.9 million for the three months ended June 26, 2015 versus operating income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 27, 2014.

· Interest expense increased by $1.0 million during the second quarter as a result of the increased borrowings under the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements during the period.

· Net loss in the second quarter of 2015 was $1.0 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, versus net income of $0.5 million, or $0.07 per basic ($0.02 per diluted) share, in the second quarter of 2014. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation and acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility, net income was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 26, 2015 versus net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2014.

Year-to-Date Second Quarter Financial Results
 
Financial highlights for the six months ended June 26, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 27, 2014, included:
 
· Net sales for the six months ended June 26, 2015 were $52.7 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 15.6%, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was a result of the acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility, which contributed $4.9 million in net sales for the six months ended June 26, 2015, and increased demand in our Continental business unit.
 
· Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.6 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to $7.2 million for the first half of 2014. The increase was primarily due to one-time acquisition costs for the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility for the six months ended June 26, 2015, partially offset by one-time acquisition costs for Ft. Wayne Holdings Inc. (“FTW”) in the prior year.
 
· Severance, restructuring and related charges of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2015, were for the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.
 
· Operating loss was $1.4 million, or 2.6% of net sales during the six months ended June 26, 2015, compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million, or 0.3% of net sales, for the same period in 2014. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation and acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility, operating income was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2015 versus an operating loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2014.

· Interest expense increased by $0.9 million during the six months ended June 26, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 27, 2014 as a result of the increased borrowings under the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements during the period.
 

· The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 27, 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.
 
· The Company reported a net loss for the six months ended June 26, 2015 of $2.8 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, versus net income of $1.7 million, or $0.21 per basic share ($0.06 per diluted share), for the six months ended June 27, 2014. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation and acquisition costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2015 and the one-time tax benefit and acquisition costs in 2014, net income was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 26, 2015 versus a net loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.7 million in the first half of 2015 as compared to cash provided of $0.8 million in the same period of 2014.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations provided $1.7 million in the first half of 2015 as compared to using $4.0 million in the same period of 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to increased accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in inventories and accounts receivable.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities of $25.3 million in the first half of 2015 were primarily for the acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility.
 
Debt at June 26, 2015 was $49.7 million, versus $22.0 million at December 31, 2014. On April 7, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility, the Company amended the BMO Credit Agreement resulting in an increase of $6.0 million to the revolving credit facility and entered into a Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC which provided the company with a $24.0 million term loan.
