KATY INDUSTRIES, INC.
REPORTS 2016 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

- Net sales increased 33% over prior year
- Gross profit increased $1.4 million over prior year
- Operating income increased $1.4 million over prior year with the exclusion of one-time items

St. Louis, MO – May 3, 2016 – Katy Industries, Inc. (Pink: 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 first quarter ended April 1, 2016.

“We are pleased that the first Quarter continued to show improvement in our operations,” said David J. Feldman, Katy Chief Executive Officer. “Sales demand remains strong and we will continue to have gains in operating income throughout 2016 by capitalizing on the synergies of our acquisitions and manufacturing realignment.”
 
Year-to-Date Financial Results

Financial highlights for the three months ended April 1, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 27, 2015, included:

Net sales increased 33.2% from $21.3 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 to $28.4 million during the three months ended April 1, 2016.  The increase was a result of the Tiffin, Ohio business acquisition, which contributed an incremental $6.5 million in net sales. Gross margin was 16.3% for the three months ended April 1, 2016, an increase of 130 basis points from the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily a result of lower operating costs associated with the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri and reduced raw material prices during the three months ended April 1, 2016. As a result of the increase in sales and an increase in gross margin, our gross profit increased $1.4 million from $3.2 million to $4.6 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2016 from $3.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the derecognition of a deferred lease obligation no longer owed as a result of our termination of the lease for our Bridgeton, Missouri facility during the three months ended March 27, 2015.

Severance, restructuring and related charges decreased $1.1 million to $0.5 million for the three months ended April 1, 2016 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 27, 2015 due to the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.
 

Operating income increased from an operating loss of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 to operating income of $0.1 million during the three months ended April 1, 2016 primarily due to the reduction of severance, restructuring and related charges and increased gross profit. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation, operating income was $0.7 million for the three months ended April 1, 2016 versus an operating loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 27, 2015.

Interest expense increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended April 1, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 27, 2015 as a result of the increased borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement which were entered into in the second quarter of 2015.

Overall, we reported a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended April 1, 2016, as compared to net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 27, 2015. With the exclusion of one-time items related to our facility relocation, net loss was $0.6 million for the three months ended April 1, 2016 versus net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 27, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $1.2 million in the three months ended March 27, 2015 as compared to $0.1 million in the same period of 2016. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations provided $2.1 million in the three months ended April 1, 2016 as compared to $2.3 million in the same period of 2015.

Cash flows used by investing activities of $0.7 million in the three months ended April 1, 2016 were primarily due to capital expenditures related to the relocation of the Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.
 
Cash flows used by financing activities of $1.3 million in the three months ended April 1, 2016 were due to a reduction of $0.8 million in our bank borrowings, net of debt issuance costs since December 31, 2015, primarily due to the timing of needed borrowings.
