Steelcase Reports Fourth Quarter Results
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) today reported a net loss of $(13.6) million, or $(0.10) per share, which was lower than company estimates communicated last quarter primarily due to increases in tax valuation allowances, lower than expected revenue and additional restructuring activities. Steelcase reported a net loss of $(65.7) million, or $(0.49) per share, in the fourth quarter of the prior year, which included significant non-cash impairment charges that had the effect of increasing the net loss by approximately $(50) million.
Fourth quarter revenue of $551.9 million represented a decline of 15.7 percent compared to $654.9 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue comparisons were impacted by approximately $15 million of favorable currency translation effects compared to the prior year and $(5) million from the deconsolidation of a dealer completed in the third quarter. Revenue declines continued across most geographic markets, customer segments and product categories but moderated compared to the last four quarters, as the third quarter of the prior year marked the start of the current downturn in the office furniture industry.
"While we saw that fourth quarter seasonal patterns were unusually severe, we believe the industry is on a recovery curve that could result in modest growth for us in fiscal 2011," said James P. Hackett, president and CEO.
Cost of sales improved to 71.3 percent of sales in the quarter from 73.5 percent in the prior year, primarily due to benefits from prior restructuring activities and other cost reduction efforts and lower commodity costs. In addition, changes in the cash surrender value of company-owned life insurance policies, or COLI (a $1.3 million benefit in the current quarter compared to a $(5.3) million charge in the prior year), and reductions in employee compensation costs partially offset the negative effects of lower absorption of fixed costs associated with the revenue decline.
Operating expenses fell $85.3 million to $168.4 million, or 30.5 percent of revenue in the quarter, from $253.7 million, or 38.7 percent of revenue in the prior year. Prior year expenses include non-cash impairment charges of $75.4 million. The remaining decrease in absolute dollars was driven primarily by benefits from prior restructuring activities and other cost reduction efforts, changes in the cash surrender value of COLI ($1.6 million benefit in the current quarter compared with a $(5.2) million charge in the prior year) and reduced employee compensation costs.
The current quarter operating loss of $(20.0) million compares with $(96.8) million in the prior year. Current quarter results included a $2.9 million benefit associated with increases in the cash surrender value of COLI and $(9.9) million of restructuring costs. The prior year operating loss included $(75.4) million of non-cash impairment charges, a $(10.5) million charge associated with decreases in the cash surrender value of COLI and $(17.0) million of restructuring costs.
The income tax benefit recorded in the quarter was reduced by approximately $(6) million of valuation allowance adjustments associated with tax loss carry-forwards.
Cash and short-term investments totaled $179 million and total debt approximated $301 million as of February 26, 2010.
Fiscal 2010 Results
For fiscal 2010, the company recorded $2.3 billion of revenue and a net loss of $(13.6) million, or $(0.10) per share, which compares to $3.2 billion of revenue and a net loss of $(11.7) million, or $(0.09) per share, in fiscal 2009.
The operating loss of $(11.5) million for fiscal 2010 compared to operating income of $1.0 million in fiscal 2009. Current year results included a $38.7 million benefit associated with increases in the cash surrender value of COLI and $(34.9) million of restructuring costs. Prior year operating income included $(75.4) million of non-cash impairment charges, a $(36.6) million charge associated with decreases in the cash surrender value of COLI and $(37.9) million of restructuring costs. The balance of the reduction in operating results was primarily driven by the negative effects of lower absorption of fixed costs associated with the revenue decline, offset in part by benefits from prior restructuring activities, lower commodity costs and reductions in employee compensation costs.
"Since the beginning of this recession, we have remained focused on the eventual recovery, protecting our growth initiatives despite a dramatic revenue reduction of almost $900 million," said David C. Sylvester, vice president and CFO. "While we fell approximately $7 million short of our fiscal 2010 operating objective to post break-even or better operating income (excluding restructuring costs and excess COLI income), we are proud of our accomplishments and continue to evaluate opportunities to further reduce our cost structure."
Outlook
The company expects first quarter fiscal 2011 revenue to be in the range of $520 to $540 million. The revenue estimate includes an assumption of approximately $6 million from favorable currency translation effects. The company reported revenue of $545.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which included $14 million of revenue from dealers which have since been deconsolidated.
Steelcase expects to report a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $(0.05) to $(0.09) per share, including approximately $(2) million of pre-tax restructuring costs. This compares to break-even earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which included $(3) million of pre-tax restructuring costs.
These estimates do not include any potential impact of the health care reform legislation recently approved by the U.S. Congress. The proposed legislation includes a provision which will subject the Medicare Part D subsidy to taxation. If the legislation is enacted as proposed during the first quarter, the company may be required to record additional deferred tax expense during the quarter.
"I want to commend our employees for their perseverance through a recession that impacted their own compensation and required even smarter use of our resources," said James P. Hackett, president and CEO. "As a result of their dedication to strengthen our global market leadership, Steelcase is emerging from this recession with new insight-led products and stronger relationships with customers, architects and designers. And we are better positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in the areas of healthcare, higher education and global emerging markets."
