Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Net sales were $192.8 million in 2016, which was $11.1 million, or 6%, higher than in 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher levels of construction activity, the addition of a new product line and the acquisition that was completed during the second quarter of 2016.
Sales increased in all product categories in 2016 compared to 2015. Millwork sales increased 10% in 2016 to $97.4 million, primarily due to increased construction activity and the acquisition. Building products sales increased 2% in 2016 to $76.9 million. Wood product sales increased 8% in 2016 to $18.5 million.
Gross margin increased 11% to $41.4 million in 2016 compared to $37.2 million in 2015. As a percentage of sales, gross margin increased to 21.5% in 2016 from 20.5% in 2015. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to our operational initiatives as well as improved product mix as we continue to expand our value-add capabilities to serve the repair/remodel construction segment.
Operating expenses increased $2.8 million to $33.6 million in 2016, compared to $30.8 million in 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs as a result of hiring additional personnel and expenses attributable to higher variable costs associated with increased sales and profitability. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 17.4% in 2016 and 17.0% in 2015.
Net interest expense was $0.5 million in 2016 and $0.6 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower average debt and lower borrowing rates in 2016 compared to 2015.
Income tax expense of $2.5 million was recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. An income tax benefit of $17.4 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2015 as the Company released a significant portion of its valuation allowance related to federal and certain state net operating loss carryforwards.
As a result of the foregoing factors, we reported income from continuing operations of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $23.2 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.2 million in 2016, representing a 21% increase over Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million for the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement. See attached reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
Balance Sheet
Total available liquidity was $84.3 million at September 30, 2016, representing an 18% increase over total liquidity of $71.2 million at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2016, total available liquidity included $1.1 million of cash plus $83.2 million of availability under the credit facility, while at September 30, 2015, total available liquidity included $2.8 million of cash plus $68.4 million of availability under the credit facility.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking information as defined by the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information presents management's expectations, beliefs, plans and objectives regarding future financial performance, and assumptions or judgments concerning such performance. Any discussions contained in this press release, except to the extent that they contain historical facts, are forward-looking and accordingly involve estimates, assumptions, judgments and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking information, include, but are not limited to, the strength of construction, home improvement and remodeling markets and the recovery of the homebuilding industry to levels consistent with historical averages; the cyclical nature of our industry; the cost of environmental compliance, including actual expenses we may incur to resolve proceedings we are involved in arising out of a formerly owned facility in Montana; any limitations on our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets to reduce future taxable income and tax liabilities; our ability to comply with, and the restrictive effect of, the financial covenant under our credit facility; the loss of a significant customer; deterioration of our customers’ creditworthiness or our inability to forecast such deteriorations; changes in commodity prices; termination of key supplier relationships; competition with existing or new industry participants; goodwill impairment; the seasonality of our operations; significant uninsured claims; federal and state transportation regulations; fuel cost increases; our failure to attract and retain key personnel; deterioration in our relationship with our unionized employees, including work stoppages or other disputes; and the financial impact of litigation or contingencies. Other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking information, include, but are not limited to, those detailed in Huttig's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other reports filed by Huttig with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Huttig supplements its reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurement of Adjusted EBITDA. This supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.
Huttig defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other special significant items as listed in the table below.
Huttig presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a primary measure used by management, and by similar companies in the industry, to evaluate operating performance and Huttig believes it enhances investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance. Huttig compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors affecting the business. Because not all companies use identical calculations, Huttig’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
