COMPX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

DALLAS, TEXAS …November 4, 2015 … CompX International Inc. (NYSE MKT: CIX) announced today sales of $26.5 million and operating income of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, which amounts are comparable to the sales and operating income reported a year ago.  Net income for each of the third quarters of 2015 and 2014 was $2.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, sales were $83.3 million compared to $79.1 million in the previous year.  Operating income was $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to $10.6 million for 2014.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $7.5 million or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in 2014.

Third quarter net sales for 2015 were comparable to the same period in 2014 as a slight increase in Marine Components sales was offset by a slight decrease in Security Products sales over the comparative period.  Operating income for the third quarter of 2015 is comparable to the same period in 2014 as improved profitability for Marine Components offset a slight decrease in operating margin for Security Products.  The increase in net sales and operating income for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is the result of sales growth within Security Products, primarily sales to existing government customers in the first half of 2015, and sales growth in Marine Components, primarily as a result of improved demand for products sold to the waterski/wakeboard boat market.

"Third quarter sales equaled the strong results posted a year ago and continue this year's solid performances in both our Security Products and Marine Components segments," commented David A. Bowers, CEO. "While seasonal demand will subside in the fourth quarter, continued sales growth in our Marine Components segment, fueled by diversification and innovation of our product offerings, is providing the critical mass necessary for consistent profitability and meaningful contribution to the Company's financial success. Security Products sales for the year continue to outpace a very successful 2014, despite the absence of clear signs that general economic conditions are significantly improving. We will continue to carefully monitor sales order rates and economic conditions in all of our markets as we develop plans and allocate resources for the remainder of the year and into 2016."

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.
