Salton, Inc. (NYSE: SFP) announced today fiscal results for its
first quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company reported net
sales of $138.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and a
loss of $10.0 million, or $(0.70) per share, versus net sales of
$148.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and net income
of $29.7 million, or $1.83 per diluted share. The net income
reported in fiscal 2006 included a pretax gain of $21.7 million
resulting from the early settlement of debt associated with the
Company�s private debt exchange offer and a $27.8 million gain
associated with the sale of its 52.6% ownership interest in the
South African subsidiary, AMAP. The decrease in sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the sale of the
tabletop business, other planned product discontinuation, and some
inventory shortages that resulted from the Company�s liquidity
constraints at the beginning of the quarter. The liquidity
constraints that impacted the fiscal 2007 first quarter results
were resolved during the quarter as a result of the company
receiving an amendment from the lenders under its senior secured
credit facility. Foreign sales increased by $6.5 million, of which
$2.5 million was a result of favorable foreign exchange rate
fluctuations. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2007
increased from $29.5 million (19.9%) in 2006 to $34.4 million
(24.9%) in 2007. This increase is primarily a result of a more
favorable product mix including fewer closeouts and a higher
percentage of core products in 2007. Additional improvements of
$0.9 million resulted from a domestic decline in distribution
expenses primarily as a result of the Company�s U.S. cost reduction
programs. In addition to improved mix, as a percent of sales, gross
margins on the core business lines showed an increase in spite of
material cost increases on plastics, copper, steel and corrugated
materials. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
to $33.5 million for first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $40.4
million for first quarter of fiscal 2006. U.S. operations reduced
selling, general and administrative expenses by $5.4 million, while
foreign operations reduced selling, general and administrative
expenses by $1.5 million primarily in the European market as costs
were realigned globally with current sales volumes. The Company
reported operating income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007, compared to an operating loss of $11.0 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006. The average amount of all debt
outstanding was $341.6 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to $434.9 million for the first quarter of 2006. Net
interest expense was $9.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2007 compared to $11.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2006. �We are pleased that through tight cost controls we were able
to increase our gross margins, helping to overcome some of the
challenges Salton faced due to liquidity constraints during the
first quarter,� said Salton CEO Leon Dreimann. �The operating
results, particularly in the U.S., reflect the reduction of more
than $100 million in cumulative operating expenses we have achieved
over the past two years. We believe we can continue to eliminate
additional costs, making Salton more competitive despite high
commodity prices.� Business Outlook: �As Salton enters the Holiday
Season, the Company has improved its competitive position through
our aggressive cost reduction program and new production
innovation,� said Mr. Dreimann. "Competitive pressures in the small
appliance market are bringing change to the industry, and Salton
has positioned itself through an improved balance sheet and lower
cost structure to remain an industry leader. We are excited by the
early response from retailers to many of our products for the
Holiday Season. We also look forward to the launch of our new
hydrogen grill in mid 2007, which will combine the best of the
George Foreman Grill with innovative technology." The Company will
hold a conference call today at 9 a.m. ET today to discuss these
results. Mr. Dreimann, Chief Executive Officer and William Lutz,
Chief Financial Officer will host the call. Interested participants
