Nashua Corporation (NASDAQ: NSHA), a manufacturer and marketer of
labels and thermal specialty papers, today announced financial
results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2009.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $62.5 million,
compared to $63.9 million for the first quarter of 2008. Gross
margin for the first quarter of 2009 was $8.9 million, or 14.2%,
compared to $9.9 million, or 15.4%, for the first quarter of 2008.

first quarter of 2009 compared to a loss before income taxes of
$0.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. Net loss was $0.3
million, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2009,
compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.07 per share, for the

Business Segment Highlights
Nashua's Label Products segment, which prints and converts
product for the grocery, food service, retail, transportation,
entertainment and general industrial markets, reported net sales of
$27.2 million and gross margin of $2.9 million, or 10.6%, for the
first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter of 2008, net sales
were $26.0 million and gross margin was $3.8 million, or 14.6%.
Sales in the Label Products segment increased 4.5% from the
first quarter in 2008. The increase is mainly attributable to
increased sales in the automatic identification and pharmacy
product lines. Gross margins in the Label Products segment were
negatively impacted by employee training, repair and maintenance,
and other start-up costs as a result of the consolidation of the
Jacksonville, Florida manufacturing operations into the Jefferson
City, Tennessee and Omaha, Nebraska plants.
Nashua's Specialty Paper Products segment, which includes the
paper coating and converting businesses, reported net sales of
$35.8 million and gross margin of $5.4 million, or 15.1%, for the
first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter of 2008, net sales
were $38.6 million and gross margin was $5.9 million, or 15.3%.
Specialty Paper Products segment sales declined 7.4% from the
first quarter of 2008. The decline in the Specialty Paper Products
segment sales is primarily attributable to lower sales in the wide
format product line, which is mainly used in architectural
applications, as a result of softness in the construction industry.
Margins in the segment declined as a result of lower volumes.
Thomas Brooker, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"We are pleased with the gain in market share and new account
development in the Label group. Overall business conditions remain
very challenging especially in the retail and construction
industries which have led to a decline in our specialty paper
group. We have continued to reduce cost in both SG & A and the
operational areas of our business. The consolidation in
manufacturing and distribution initiated in 2008 should provide
more favorable bottom line results during 2009. Our focus remains
on increasing profitable sales in both new and existing accounts
and productivity improvement throughout the organization."
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA is presented as supplemental information that management
of Nashua believes may be useful to some investors in evaluating
the Company because it is widely used as a measure of evaluating a
company's operating performance, as well as to evaluate its
operating cash flow. EBITDA is used by management in the
computation of ratios utilized for financing purposes and for
planning and forecasting in future periods. EBITDA is calculated by
adding back net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation
and amortization to net income. EBITDA should not be considered a
substitute either for net income, as an indicator of Nashua's
operating performance, or for cash flow, as a measure of Nashua's
liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA may not be calculated in the
same manner by all companies, the presentation here may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies.
