Reptron Electronics, Inc. Reports Third Quarter and Nine Months 2005 Financial Results

Reptron Electronics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RPRN), an electronics manufacturing services company, today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Reptron recorded third quarter 2005 net sales of $32.6 million, a 5.2% decline from the same period a year ago and a 5.6% decline from the second quarter of 2005. The Company recorded a third quarter 2005 loss totaling $1.2 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share, including employee severance charges of approximately $314,000. This compares to a $45,000 loss, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, in the same period a year ago, including activity from the 2003 discontinued operations and reorganization costs, which collectively resulted in net earnings of $45,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net sales totaled $101.9 million, a 3.5% decrease from the first nine months of 2004 (eight months Reorganized Company combined with one month of the Predecessor Company). The Company recorded a loss during the first nine months of 2005 totaling $14.5 million, or $2.89 per fully diluted share, including a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill of approximately $10.1 million as well as an increase to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $0.4 million. This compares to a $1.3 million loss from continuing operations, or $0.25 per fully diluted share, during the first nine months of 2004 (eight months Reorganized Company of $0.7 million combined with one month of the Predecessor Company of $0.6 million), excluding reorganization gain and expenses, net of related income tax effect. The earnings per share calculated for the period ending September 30, 2004 above are based only on the five million shares issued and outstanding of the reorganized company. During the first nine months of 2004, Reptron also recorded additional activity from its 2003 discontinued operations, reorganization costs and a reorganization gain on debt discharge net of the related income tax effect, which collectively resulted in net earnings of $1.6 million. These items, when combined with the results from continuing operations during the first nine months of 2004, resulted in net earnings of $391,000.

"During the third quarter of 2005 we began to benefit from a comprehensive cost reduction effort initiated in the second quarter of the year," stated Paul J. Plante, Reptron's president and chief executive officer. Plante continued, "Gross margins increased by 230 basis points and operating income improved when compared to the second quarter of 2005 despite a $1.9 million reduction in sales."

Plante added, "We believe that our cost reduction effort combined with new customer additions and increasing demand from our legacy customers should result in additional operating performance improvement during the fourth quarter of 2005."

As previously reported, Reptron sold certain identified assets of its electronic components distribution division on June 13, 2003. Additionally, the Company sold certain assets of its memory module division on October 27, 2003. The 2004 results have been adjusted to reflect the remaining operations while segregating and summarizing the electronic components distribution and memory module divisions as discontinued operations.

Reptron filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on October 28, 2003. The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on January 14, 2004 and became effective on February 3, 2004 allowing the Company to emerge from bankruptcy. Expenses incurred through the reorganization process have been segregated and summarized as Reorganization Costs. Additionally, the difference between the fair market value of new common stock issued and new debt issued when compared to the debt discharged as outlined in the Plan of Reorganization has been summarized as a Reorganization Gain on Debt Discharge. Also, as a result of the reorganization, January 2004 operations are presented as "Predecessor" while the eight month period ended June 30, 2004 is presented as "Reorganized." The accompanying financial tables provide financial information relative to these periods.
