FOURTH QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $214.0 million, compared to net sales of $288.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Value-added sales were $143.4 million, 14% below value-added sales of $167.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.

The year-over-year decrease in value-added sales in the fourth quarter of 2015 is due primarily to weaker demand from customers tied to oil and gas exploration and weaker demand from Asian markets. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted value-added sales by 1% compared to fourth quarter 2014. Partially offsetting these headwinds was sales growth in the defense market both year over year and sequentially.

Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $8.1 million. Adjusted operating profit, which excludes non-recurring legacy environmental and other expenses, totaled $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, 38% below the prior-year fourth quarter adjusted operating profit of $14.4 million. The decreased profits resulted primarily from lower sales levels and unfavorable exchange rate impacts, which were only partially offset by foreign currency hedge gains and reduced performance-based compensation expense.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $6.7 million, or $0.33 per share, diluted. This compares to net income of $12.3 million, or $0.60 per share, diluted, for the fourth quarter of the prior year. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 were in line with Company expectations of $0.36 per share compared to $0.51 per share for the fourth quarter of 2014.
