PRESS RELEASE

COMPX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

DALLAS, TEXAS …August 5, 2015 … CompX International Inc. (NYSE MKT: CIX) announced today sales of $28.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $26.8 million in the same period of 2014.  Operating income was $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.9 million in the same period in 2014.  Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, sales were $56.8 million compared to $52.6 million in the previous year.  Operating income was $8.0 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $7.2 million for 2014.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $5.2 million or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in 2014.

Second quarter and year-to-date 2015 net sales increased over the comparable 2014 periods principally due to strong demand from existing government customers within Security Products.   Sales comparisons for the year-to-date periods were also favorably impacted by increased sales of security products to the office equipment and institutional furniture market, as well as increased marine component sales to the waterski/wakeboard boat market. Operating income improved for both comparative periods due primarily to the sales growth in Security Products.

"First half sales continue to outpace the exceptional levels posted a year ago," commented David A. Bowers, CEO. "We continue to experience strong demand from our established customers within Security Products, brought about by both new product development and improved demand in certain of our markets.  The profitability of our Marine Components segment continues to gain momentum, reflecting the tangible benefit of diversification and innovation of our product offerings in that business. We enter the second half of 2015 well-positioned to serve our customers while continuing to focus on our core values of product innovation and efficient manufacturing."

CompX is a leading manufacturer of security products and recreational marine components.  It operates from four locations in the U.S. and employs approximately 500 people.
