GREENVILLE, S.C., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JPS Industries, Inc. (JPST.PK) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended November 1, 2008. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, JPS reported a net income from continuing operations of $20.3 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, on sales of $73.1 million compared with a net income from continuing operations of $16.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, on sales of $67.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The fourth quarter results include a tax benefit associated with the reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance of $16.9 million and $14.9 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. For fiscal year 2008, the Company reported a net income from continuing operations of $23.8 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, on sales of $232.5 million compared with a net income from continuing operations of $18.6 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, on sales of $138.8 million for fiscal year 2007. Michael L. Fulbright, JPS's chairman, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Our full year results were excellent, exceeded only by an outstanding fourth quarter performance. "It is a tribute to our entire organization and the business leaders we have throughout the Company that they dealt with the many challenges we face in today's global economic environment, and did so in such an outstanding manner. Our results were broad-based with strong contributions from both of our Stevens(R) Urethane Products and JPS Composite Materials operating units. Products we design and manufacture to meet the requirements for safety and security, alternative energy production, aerospace, medical, infrastructure and defense markets offset the weakness we saw in commercial construction and electrical/electronic based markets. "Our performance was most gratifying in light of the strategic makeover we have accomplished in the past eighteen months and it is very satisfying to have accomplished it during such turbulent economic conditions." Charles R. Tutterow, JPS's executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "Results for fiscal year 2008 included pension and post employment income of $576,000 versus an expense of $386,000 for fiscal year 2007. For fiscal year 2009, we anticipate pension plan payments of approximately $800,000, down significantly from the last several years. Our financial position remains strong and we expect to finish calendar year 2008 with over $30 million of availability and less than $50 million of net borrowings under our credit facilities. As such, we are capable of investing as necessary to grow our businesses and the Board of Directors has approved the repurchase, from time to time, of up to $2 million in shares of the Company's common stock in open market purchases to enhance shareholder value." Commenting further, Mr. Fulbright stated, "We have never been more solidly positioned with our businesses, our organization, and our balance sheet. With clearly the most challenging economic environment most companies have seen over the past four decades our Company is prepared and fully engaged to deal with the pressures and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead."
