Exhibit 99.1
Preformed Line Products Announces Financial Results For The Quarter Ended March 31, 2015
MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Preformed Line Products Company (NASDAQ: PLPC) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2015 were $85,790,000, down 5% compared to $89,925,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
The Company posted a net loss for the first quarter 2015 of $256,000, or $.05 per share, compared to net income of $2,738,000, or $.50 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014.
Currency translation rates had a negative impact on 2015 first quarter net sales of $6,484,000 and a negligible impact on net income. However, losses on foreign currency transactions had an unfavorable impact of $3,354,000 on pre-tax income.
Rob Ruhlman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Exceptionally weak foreign currencies eroded sales and net income during the first quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the Company delivered sales growth of 3%. Unrealized losses on intercompany receivables and payables had a negative $3 million impact on pretax earnings compared to a favorable impact of $700,000 in the first quarter of 2014. We also incurred over $500,000 of restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the unrealized foreign currency transactions and restructuring costs, our operating income improved over the first quarter of 2014. We continue to focus on tightly controlling our expenses and maximizing our global sourcing capabilities to mitigate the impact of geopolitical factors on our business."
