CHICAGO, July 26, 2018 - Lawson Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAWS) (“Lawson” or the "Company"), a distributor of products and services to the MRO marketplace, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Highlights


•	Total sales of $90.4 million, up 20.5%. Average daily sales ("ADS") increased to $1.412 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.172 million in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 5.3% sequentially over the first quarter


•	Organic Lawson segment ADS, excluding The Bolt Supply House ("Bolt Supply"), increased 7.5% compared to the prior year quarter driven by the sixth consecutive quarterly increase in sales rep productivity which increased 9.1% for the quarter


•	Bolt Supply, which was acquired in October of 2017, added $9.8 million of sales and $0.9 million of adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2018 (see reconciliation in Table 2), in line with the Company's expectations


•	Operating income was $5.6 million compared to $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 which included a $5.4 million non-recurring gain on the sale of a facility. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million compared to $4.5 million a year ago, up 71%. The Lawson segment adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, up 50% over the year ago quarter (see reconciliation in Table 2)


•	Borrowings, net of cash, ended at $10.1 million representing a decline of $3.5 million during the quarter

"Demand for our value-added MRO services remained robust in the second quarter as evidenced by the increase in our average daily sales. The 20.5% sales increase was largely driven by improved Lawson sales rep productivity as well as the inclusion of Bolt Supply. The 43% growth in our adjusted EBITDA percentage, which is over twice the sales gain, demonstrates the strengthening of our business and our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure," said Michael DeCata, president and chief executive officer. "Additionally, we increased our Lawson segment gross profit to 60.4% prior to the selling expense reclassification while driving adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales to 8.6% from 6.0% a year ago."

Net sales increased 20.5% to $90.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $75.0 million in 2017. Both quarters had 64 selling days.
