John Sheppard, EveryWare's CEO stated: "During the third quarter we continued delivering top line revenue growth in the face of a challenging business environment. We were able to do this by securing new key customer wins in underserved channels within our consumer segment, building our international and specialty segments, and continuing to identify significant cross-selling opportunities in our foodservice segment. I'm also very excited about the strong growth in our international segment given the significant potential we have for leveraging our brand values globally."

Sheppard added, "We also identified meaningful efficiency enhancements within our glass manufacturing operation allowing us to free up capital to further invest in both accretive organic growth and acquisition opportunities."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 increased $6.9 million, or 6.7%, from $103.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 to $110.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 (excluding currency fluctuation, the revenue increase is 6.9%). The increase in third quarter revenue is primarily attributable to strong growth in the Company's international, consumer and specialty segments.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, from $20.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 to $20.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. The moderate reduction in operating expenses is due primarily to synergies and cost savings generated since the merger of Oneida and Anchor Hocking as well as lower sponsor expenses, professional fees and employee costs. Partially offsetting the decline was higher SG&A costs at the recently acquired business in the UK as the initial integration focus has been on driving volume and improving the supply chain.

The company also worked closely with its labor partners to agree on the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement at its Lancaster plant. Combined with its recently signed labor agreement in Monaca, the newly signed agreement provides the Company with a favorable cost basis and a sound operational structure for the next several years.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 increased 33.0% to $8.0 million, up from $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by higher revenues and lower operating expenses in the quarter. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, see the financial data at the end of this release. The Company also has decided to reposition capacity on two of its three furnaces at its Lancaster plant and has determined that it can forgo rebuilding one of its furnaces. The Company believes this action will free up additional cash, enable it to focus on higher margin products, and allow the Company to use the incremental capital to reinvest in growth, enter new markets and pursue accretive acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 1.6% to $9.0 million, down from $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to lower margins driven by a mix shift in the Company's consumer and foodservice segments and higher SG&A costs at the Company's recently acquired UK business, as described above.

Net loss totaled $(1.1) million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to net loss of $(1.5) million for the third quarter of 2012. After adjusting for the impact of certain one-time non-operational items related to the Company's going public process in May 2013 and a one -time gain related to the purchase accounting of the UK acquisition, third quarter 2013 adjusted net income would have been $(1.2) million and EPS would have been ($0.06) per share.

For purposes of computing EPS for the third quarter of 2013, common shares of 19.8 million, representing the weighted average share count for the third quarter, were used. Actual common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2013 were 20.5 million.

Financial Results for Year to Date September 30, 2013

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $12.4 million, or 4.2%, from $298.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $310.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (excluding currency fluctuation, the revenue increase is 4.3%). The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by strong growth in the Company's international and specialty segments.

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $4.9 million, or 7.7%, from $64.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $59.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decline in operating expenses is primarily due to synergies and cost savings generated since the merger of Oneida and Anchor Hocking.

EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 32.1% to $30.9 million, up from $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily the result of increased revenues in the Company's international and specialty segments and reduced operating costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.7 million to $36.5 million, up from $35.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to revenue growth and lower operating expenses in the first nine months of 2013, partially offset by the mix shift discussed above and higher SG&A costs at the Company's recently acquired UK business.

Net loss totaled $(3.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $(5.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. After adjusting for the impact of certain one-time non-operational items related to the Company's going public process in May 2013 and a one -time gain related to the purchase accounting of the UK acquisition, adjusted net income would have been $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and EPS would have been $0.25 per share.

Secondary Share Sale

The Company announced during September 2013 that certain of its stockholders performed a secondary offering of approximately 1,937,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $11.50 per share. The share sale should enable a broader shareholder base.

Company Outlook:

The Company anticipates continued sales growth for full year 2013, but due to the weakened macroeconomic environment, management believes it is prudent to revise its full year 2013 guidance.

EBITDA Reconciliation:

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the financial tables included herein provide non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and a reconciliation to the most closely related Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure. EveryWare believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and net income and EPS adjusted to exclude costs related to the ROI Acquisition Corp. merger and our exchange listing process provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that is useful to investors in understanding EveryWare's core business and trends. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are the basis on which EveryWare's management assesses performance. Although EveryWare believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors' understanding of EveryWare's business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
