LaPolla Industries Reports Third Quarter Earnings

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - November 14, 2007) - LaPolla Industries, Inc. ("LaPolla") (OTCBB: LPAD), a leading manufacturer of foam and coating products targeting commercial, industrial and residential applications, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Sales for the third quarter of 2007 were $8.4 million compared to $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. Gross profit increased 14% to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.5 million for the same period last year. Gross margin increased 3.9 percentage points to 20.6% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 16.7% for the third quarter of 2006. Operating loss for the third quarter was $0.8 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period last year. Net loss available for common stock holders for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Sales increased to $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $22.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit increased 29% to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $3.6 million the same period last year. Gross margin increased 2.6 percentage points to 18.7% for the first nine months 2007 compared to 16.1% the first nine months of 2006. Operating loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $2.4 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year. Net loss available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $3.0 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.03 per share, for the same period in 2006.

"This quarter's revenue softness masked important strategic developments at LaPolla and the progress we made in moving closer to profitability. We continued to broaden our national sales footprint, adding regional distributors in every geography except California, where we already have a strong presence, and increasing the size of our inside sales force. In addition, even though a slow down in spending in the building products industry caused volume to decline, we produced higher gross margin, on both on a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis, as we continued to realize the manufacturing efficiencies associated with our vertically integrated operations," said Douglas J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer. "As a result of this gross margin improvement, combined with tightened expense control, we succeeded in narrowing the company's quarterly operating and net loss."

"The investments we are making in strengthening our distribution capabilities are critical to placing LaPolla in the best position to capitalize on the growing demand for energy efficient residential construction, or what is being called 'green building,' that is arising primarily in response to soaring fuel costs. Particularly in the mid-priced market, more and more residential contractors are offering energy efficient designs as a means of combating a sluggish housing market," continued Mr. Kramer. "These industry trends bode well for LaPolla and our family of spray foam insulation products, and our confidence in our long-term growth prospects is unwavering. We remain keenly focused on executing our ambitious growth plans, further leveraging our established brand and national presence."

Results of Core Business Segments

Foam sales increased 18% to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2006 also due to an increase in the company's sales force, advertising, marketing and promotion programs, partially offset by a general downturn in the building products market. Segment loss was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $0.7 million in the same period in 2006. The increase in our Foam segment loss in 2007 was primarily attributable to cost increases related to resale foam purchases prior to vertical integration, partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies and favorable raw material pricing associated with vertical integration.

Coatings sales increased 4.3% to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $7.4 million in the same period in 2006 due to an increase in the company's sales force, advertising, marketing and promotion programs, partially offset by a general downturn in the building products market. Segment income was $182,839 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a segment profit of $174,027 for the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to improved manufacturing efficiencies and favorable raw material pricing.
