CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - October 22, 2014 - Melvin J. Gordon, Chairman,
Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. reported third quarter and nine months
2014 net sales and net earnings.

Third quarter 2014 net sales were $191,093,000 compared to
$191,807,000 in third quarter 2013.  Third quarter 2014 net
earnings were $26,668,000 compared to $26,043,000 in third
quarter 2013, and net earnings per share were $.44 and $.42 in
third quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $.02
per share or 5%.

Nine months 2014 net sales were $401,966,000 compared to
$404,074,000 in nine months 2013. Nine months 2014 net earnings
were $45,275,000 compared to $43,481,000 in nine months 2013,
and net earnings per share were $.75 and $.71 in nine months
2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $.04 per share or
6%.

Mr. Gordon said, "Third quarter and nine months 2014 net
earnings benefited from more favorable ingredient costs as well
as plant manufacturing efficiencies driven by capital
investments and ongoing cost containment programs. Although our
overall comparative ingredient costs were more favorable in
third quarter and nine months 2014, certain key ingredient costs
are higher this year. We are continuing to make progress on
restoring our margins to their historical levels before the
increases in commodity and other input costs in past years. The
Company's third quarter and nine months 2014 net earnings per
share benefited from common stock purchases in the open market
resulting in fewer shares outstanding."
