GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JPS Industries, Inc. (JPST.PK) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended July 26, 2008. For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, JPS reported net income from continuing operations of $0.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share, on sales of $47.8 million compared with net income from continuing operations of $0.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share, on sales of $26.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $3.4 million or $0.35 per diluted share, on sales of $159.4 million compared with net income from continuing operations of $2.0 million or $0.21 per diluted share, on sales of $71.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. Michael L. Fulbright, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of JPS Industries, Inc. stated, "The third quarter marks a watershed in the strategic transformation of our Company on which I'll comment further. First, however, let me say the solid growth in revenue and operating results from our continuing operations is most gratifying and clearly reinforces our confidence in the potential of our "recast" Company. The quarter was every bit as challenging as the prior six months, with macroeconomic forces continuing to affect our various markets and a continuation of the practically non-existent soft body armor market we first experienced beginning in the second quarter this year. Our solid results are especially satisfying in such a negatively- impacted business environment. We made significant strides during the quarter on a number of tactical fronts including initial shipments of new products to new markets. Two of these new products, hard armor ballistic products for the U.S. military's MRAP(R) vehicles and our Encapsolar(R) TPU and EVA based encapsulation films for the photovoltaic solar modular market are now fully commercialized with shipments underway. These initiatives along with recently received orders to support the restart of production for the military's Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV's) will have a significant positive impact on our fourth quarter performance. Charles R. "Chuck" Tutterow, EVP and CFO of JPS Industries and President of Stevens Urethane added, "Our results include a gain of $13 million, net of tax, from the sale of our Stevens(R) Roofing business and comparable periods have been adjusted to reflect it as a discontinued operation. EBITDA for the third quarter increased 69% from $2.8 million to $4.7 million and included $0.7 million of expenses related to the legal matter described in our previous press release. Year to date, our net debt has been reduced from $75.4 million to $54.4 million." Commenting further, Mr. Fulbright stated, "Strategically, on July 1st we completed the repositioning of our Company when we closed on the sale of the Stevens(R) Roofing business unit to Dow Building Solutions. The funds from this transaction were used to reduce our long-term debt, making our already healthy, solid balance sheet even more so. The flexibility this provides us to pursue all manner of strategic and tactical opportunities is enormous in today's environment. The domestic and global events of the past few weeks have brought a new round of challenges and no doubt new opportunities. We are well positioned for both and confident in our ability to execute and deliver results to benefit our Company and our shareholders."
