Lakeland Industries Inc. Reports Fiscal

2015 Second Quarter Financial Results

Manufacturing and Operational Efficiencies

Gross Margin to Highest Level in Company

RONKONKOMA, NY - September 10, 2014

-- Lakeland Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAKE), a leading global manufacturer of industrial protective clothing for industry, municipalities,

healthcare and to first responders on the federal, state and local levels, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2015

second quarter ended July 31, 2014. For financial reporting presentation purposes, the operating results in Brazil are excluded

from many of the statements in this announcement because the Company's commercial lender has excluded Brazil from most covenant

calculations as well as other related factors and due to the restructuring of those operations which has resulted in significant

losses for the past two years that distorts analysis for the balance of the global businesses.

Management's Comments

Christopher J. Ryan, President and Chief

Executive Officer of Lakeland Industries, stated, "The growth in our international operations, including Brazil, remain

intact. At the same time, while business mix and large order flows resulted in a modest decline in year-over-year domestic sales,

business activity remains robust and we foresee increased global demand. To capitalize on this favorable outlook, we continued

our strategy from the first quarter of increasing spending on business development activities while aggressively managing our

other costs to drive improved profitability. We are beginning to experience the desired results as consolidated gross margin reached

the highest level ever for Lakeland and operating profit increased 13% year-over-year amid substantially higher selling, general

and administrative expenses intended to drive future sales growth and the operating loss from our subsidiary in Brazil which is

seeking to go through a turnaround.

"In Brazil, the turnaround is showing

steady indications of progress as it nears completion, with second quarter sales increasing by 6%. For the second consecutive quarter,

operating losses declined by over 60% as compared with prior year periods. Breakeven is now within reach for our Brazil subsidiary,

although it is still absorbing non-operating expenses due to the resolution of prior issues. After the end of the quarter, we completed

the first phase of the refinancing of Lakeland Brazil. This represents a significant step in establishing the subsidiary as financially

self-sustaining while maintaining the financial integrity of the parent company through the non-recourse nature of subsidiary financing

facilities, although the lending environment in Brazil is more difficult lately due to the recent recessionary economy.

"Given Mexico's new spending

on oil and gas exploration with foreign partners, we expect Mexican sales to grow nicely over the next few years. We have realigned

and upgraded the Mexican sales staff to accommodate the economic growth trends in the region. As we look ahead, we remain encouraged

by the global growth trends and our strengthening operational and financial condition which should enable us to drive improved

profitability from the leverage in our business."
