Ironclad Performance Wear Reports Third Quarter 4% Sales Increase and
49% Reduction in Net Loss From Prior Year
FARMERS BRANCH, TX – November 12, 2015 – Ironclad Performance Wear Corporation (ICPW:QB), the recognized leader in high-performance task-specific work gloves, reported financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date ended September 30, 2015.
The Company reported increased Net Sales for the quarter of $5.4 million, a 4% increase from $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, on stronger sales from industrial and international accounts.
Gross Profit increased 4% to $1.92 million, or 35.4% of Net Sales, compared to $1.85 million, or 35.4% of Net Sales, in the third quarter of 2014 due primarily to higher revenues. Gross Profit percentage for the year-to-date period improved by 3.1% from the same period in the prior year.
Operating Expenses decreased by $161,489 to $2.09 million, or 38.6% of net sales, compared to $2.25 million, or 43.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2014.
As a result of the above, Loss from Operations decreased by $226,750, to a loss of $175,095, from a loss of $401,845 in the third quarter of 2014.
Interest Expense increased $27,990 to $30,693 in the third quarter of 2015 from $2,703 in the same period of 2014. This increase is due to increased borrowings under our bank line of credit agreement.
Net Loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $205,781, or $0.00 per share, as compared to a loss of $402,844, or $0.01 per share, in the same period last year. Net loss decreased for the year-to-date period by $701,261 from the same period in the prior year.
Ironclad’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Cordes, commented: “With regards to the 3rd Quarter, we are pleased with the continued growth of our industrial and international segments, that on a combined basis this quarter, increased year-over-year more than 26%. However, we were disappointed that the warmer than usual September weather greatly slowed retail shipments, which historically are more weighted towards insulated winter product. We will continue to execute on this path for 2015 and we anticipate Q4 2015 net sales to exceed Q4 2014 levels by 20%.”
Cordes added: “We are pleased with the announcement earlier this week of Grainger’s award to Ironclad of a major category of their glove business. We are also excited with the market’s response and order levels for our new Ironclad Industrial Impact glove collection. After nearly eighteen months of diligent efforts by our team, these 3rd quarter wins provide added validation of the future we have been working to build for Ironclad.”
