-- Net sales increased to $22.2 million for the second quarter of 2005, up 14.8% from $19.4 million for the second quarter in 2004. Net sales for the first half of 2005 were up 12.5% to $45.2 million, up from $40.1 million for the same period last year. CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Worldwide holographic and specialty coated film manufacturer, CFC International, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFCI), today reported results for the second quarter of 2005. Net sales for the second quarter 2005 increased 14.8% to $22.2 million, compared to $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. This increase in sales is due to growth on a worldwide basis of the Company's printed pattern products and pharmaceutical products, and strong domestic holographic sales, resulting from the introduction of a new holographic security product used on transaction cards. Net income decreased 12.2% to $498,000, or $0.11 cents per share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $567,000 or $0.13 cents per share on a fully diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2004. The Company incurred a foreign currency exchange loss of $488,000 ($314,000 net of income taxes) due to the decline in the value of the Euro to the dollar compared with the preceding quarter end, and transaction expenses in connection with the possible sale of the Company of $434,000 ($279,000 net of income taxes). The Company reports that net income excluding the negative currency translation and transaction fees incurred in connection with the possible sale of the Company, would have increased 132.9% to $1.2 million or $0.25 cents per share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $567,000 or $0.13 cents per share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2004. "In the second quarter of 2005, CFC once again delivered solid sales growth," said Greg Jehlik, CFC's Chief Executive Officer and President. "Our second quarter results reflect increased sales in our long-standing markets, that we are focused on our strategic initiatives and that we are well- positioned to leverage future opportunities with new products such as our recently launched HoloLam Plus(TM) for the transaction card industry." Sales for the first half of 2005 totaled $45.2 million, an increase of 12.5% from $40.2 million for the same period last year. Sales for the first half of 2005 were positively affected by increased sales of the Company's printed pattern products and pharmaceutical products on a worldwide basis, and strong domestic holographic sales, resulting from the introduction of a new holographic security product used on transaction cards. Net income for the first half of 2005 increased 16.1% to $2.0 million, or $0.43 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to net income of $1.7 million or $0.39 per share on a fully diluted basis for the first half of 2004. Net income in 2005 was adversely affected by the decline of the Euro from the end of last year, resulting in foreign currency exchange loss of $765,000 ($492,000 net of income taxes), and transaction expenses in connection with the possible sale of the Company in the amount of $434,000 ($279,000 net of income taxes). Net income for the first half of 2005, without the negative currency translation and transaction expenses would have increased 60.8% to $2.8 million, or $0.60 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.39 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2004. "We are very pleased with the positive results that we have delivered for the first half of 2005," said Roger Hruby, CFC's Chairman. "We achieved increases in both total net income and net sales for the first half of 2005, as compared to the same period a year ago, and we are well positioned to continue to deliver profit growth and strong sales as we move into the second half of 2005." The Company also announced today that the letter of intent with Audax Group of the proposed acquisition of CFC has been terminated. Roger F. Hruby, CFC's Chairman, said, "As our negotiations with Audax progressed, it became clear that we would be unable to complete an agreement at this time that our Board could recommend to our shareholders, and accordingly we and they agreed to terminate the letter of intent. As we move forward, we will continue to pursue and evaluate all strategic alternatives." Recent Developments The Company will be exhibiting at the Pack Expo 2005 Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada in Booth #9123 on September 26-28, 2005 where it will feature its holographic packaging and holographic security and authentication solutions.
