Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
In a series of investor presentations beginning on October 29,
2012, IEC Electronics Corp. (the "Company") will present slides which, among others, contain updated information regarding
its general expectations for fiscal 2012. A copy of the slides is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference
herein.
To supplement the Company's financial information presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), in the slides furnished herewith the Company
uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is reconciled
to comparable GAAP financial measures in a posting in the Investor Information section of the Company's website,
www.iec-electronics.com
.
The reconciliation is also attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein. With respect to the Company's
fiscal 2012 forecast, reconciliations of GAAP operating income to EBITDA as projected for fiscal 2012 are not provided because
the Company cannot provide the reconciliation without unreasonable effort. Because the Company's fiscal year-end closeout
of its financial statements is not yet complete, the Company has not yet finalized its determination of the components of GAAP
operating income and the other measures used in the reconciliation.
The Company views EBITDA as a useful measure of operating performance
given its large net operating loss carryforwards. EBITDA, as a component of EBITDARs (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, rent payments and stock compensation expense), is also measured as part of the financial covenants contained in the
Company's credit agreements with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company. The Company urges investors to carefully review
the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
and quarterly earnings releases.
The information in the above-mentioned slides contains certain
forward looking statements made within the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and
reflects the Company's current expectations rather than historical fact. These statements, such as those related to our future
prospects, capabilities and results, involve risks and uncertainties, including in particular the risks and uncertainties referred
to in the slides. The Company's actual results of operations may differ significantly from those contemplated by any forward
looking statements as a result of those and other factors, including the risk factors set forth in the Company's 2011 Annual
