Insilco Holding Co. Reports First Quarter 2001
Results
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 10 Insilco Holding Co.
(OTC Bulletin Board: INSL) today reported sales and operating results for its
first quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company said that results exclude
divestitures that are being reported as discontinued operations (including its
automotive segment, divested in the 2000 third quarter and its Taylor
Publishing unit, divested in the 2000 first quarter). The Company is also
reporting proforma results for both quarters to include performance from its
acquisitions of InNet Technologies (January 2001), Precision Cable
Manufacturing (August 2000) and TAT Technology (February 2000).
The Company reported proforma first quarter sales of $80.0 million
compared with $106.1 million recorded last year, a decline of 25%. The decline
reflects slowing demand across the company's business lines, with particular
weakness in demand for custom assemblies from the telecom optical equipment
market. Proforma EBITDA from ongoing operations for the current quarter was
$7.3 million compared with $17.7 million recorded last year, reflecting a
lower EBITDA margin as a result of lower sales volume. Proforma EBITDA for the
first quarter 2001 and 2000 includes expenses related to acquisition
incentives; excluding these incentives proforma EBITDA for first quarter 2001
and 2000 would have been $8.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively.
David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO said, "As widely publicized, the
telcom sector is in a significant downturn right now. Ongoing financial issues
with emerging telecom service providers and cautious capital spending by
larger, well capitalized telecom service providers have created a significant
reduction in our customers' own demand, thus building excessive inventory
levels throughout the supply-chain. Unfortunately, this has a dramatic impact
on Insilco since a substantial portion of our custom assembly business comes
from the telcom sector. In addition, our electronic components and precision
parts businesses also experienced a significant downturn in demand, since
these businesses sell principally into the technology and automotive sectors."
"We are, however, responding decisively to current market conditions.
Including the recent acquisition of InNet, we have reduced our full-time
employment headcount and contract personnel by over 1,050 in North America and
4,300 worldwide (or 42% of the total workforce) since September 30, 2000. We
have severely limited spending throughout our organization and pushed out all
non-essential capital expenditure plans. We are actively developing plans to
consolidate manufacturing facilities and to take greater advantage of our
lower cost offshore production facilities. Moreover, we have considerably
reduced our net working capital requirements by approximately $14 million
since year-end and have paid all of our 2000 acquisition-related incentive
liabilities. We currently maintain $30 million of cash and borrowing
availability."
OUTLOOK
"Although, we do continue to see strong customer quote activity and are
encouraged by the recent receipt of some new business awards, we expect our
OEM customers to face continued weakness in their end markets and to continue
to work down their excessive inventory levels. Thus, we believe our operating
performance will continue to be impacted in the short term and do not expect
improved results in Q2. Moreover, these conditions make it difficult to
predict how long this downturn will last. Therefore, in light of current
business conditions, we will continue to work closely with our lenders to
ensure we deal effectively with potential liquidity and covenant issues under
our current loan agreement."
"In the interim, we have a much heightened focus on lowering our cost
structure to improve our competitive position. And, equally important, we are
confident that we still maintain the same leading market positions and will
resume our growth trajectory once the technology and telcom sectors work off
inventories and begin to rebound," Kauer concluded.

amortization and non-operating items, are not intended to represent and should
not be considered more meaningful than, or an alternative to, operating
income, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA data are
included because we understand that such information is used by certain
investors as one measure of an issuer's historical ability to service debt.
While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operations and the ability to
meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other
similarly titled captions of other companies, or used in the Company's
debentures, credit or other similar agreements, due to potential
inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
