28 July 2000
Company Sees Continued Growth in Second Half of YearCOLUMBUS, Ohio - Insilco Holding Co. today reported markedly improved sales and operating results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2000. The Company said that results for its automotive segment, which the Company recently announced it signed an agreement to sell, is being reported as a discontinued operation and is therefore not included in consoli dated sales and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-operating items). Included in the Company's consolidated results for 1999 are the results of its Romac Metals and McKenica operations, which were divested in mid-1999. The Company reported a 65% increase in second quarter sales from its core technologies businesses to $92.3 million from $55.8 million recorded last year due to strong demand for custom assemblies and passive components, and reflecting the benefit of sales from the Company's recently acquired custom assembly business. Including sales from divested operations of $6.8 million in the 1999 second quarter, consolidated sales for the current quarter increased 47% from $62.6 million recorded last year. On a pro forma basis, the Company's second quarter sales increased 39% from the second quarter last year as worldwide OEM demand increased for the Company's optical and networking equipment assemblies and components. For the current quarter, EBITDA from the technologies businesses more than doubled to $13.3 million from $5.4 million recorded last year. The Company reported that consolidated EBITDA for the current quarter increased 138% to $13.3 million, compared to $5.6 million recorded last year, which included EBITDA of $0.2 million from divested operations. A favorable sales mix for higher-margin data grade connector products and improved margins on precision stampings, as well as the contribution from its recent acquisition, all contributed to the strong EBITDA performance. The Company's pro forma second quarter EBITDA increased 41% from the second quarter last year due to the favorable sales mix and from cost reduction initiatives. DIVESTITURE/ACQUISITION As reported on July 17, 2000, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell to its majority shareholders the assets of its automotive segment for proceeds of $147 million, subject to closing adjustments; closing on a commitment for financing; and other customary terms and conditions. Proceeds from the transaction, which is expected to close before the end of the third quarter, will be used to reduce bank debt and to gain financial flexibility to execute the Company's acquisition strategy. The Company also announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Precision Cable Manufacturing, a Rockwall, Texas based provider of custom cable and wire assemblies to telecommunications equipment OEMs. CEO COMMENTS David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said, "We continued to see strong demand in the second quarter for our technology products, with pro forma sales and adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2000 up 38% and 54%, respectively. We are experiencing strong sales and a strong book-to-bill ratio in our connector business resulting from new product introductions and strong market fundamentals in the electronic component industry. We are also very pleased with the strong demand we are seeing for our optical equipment assemblies. With the announcement last week of the planned divestiture of our automotive segment and the acquisition of Precision Cable, we are well positioned to capitalize on the growing telecommunications and computer networking markets."

(b) Earnings (loss) before income taxes and "EBITDA", which is defined as earnings before interest expense (net), income taxes, depreciation and 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.
