Steelcase Reports First Quarter Results
First Quarter Order Patterns Build Strong Order Backlog Going Into Second Quarter
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) today reported first quarter revenue of $667.1 million and net income of $13.2 million, or $0.10 per share, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.03 per share. Excluding restructuring costs, adjusted earnings were $0.13 per share. Earnings per share were within company estimates. Revenues were lower than expected primarily due to the timing of shipment dates associated with first quarter orders in the Americas, and revenue shortfalls in France and Northern Europe. Steelcase reported $675.2 million of revenue and earnings of $0.10 per share in the first quarter of the prior year, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.03 per share.
Organic revenue decline in the first quarter was 1 percent after adjusting for $2.8 million of unfavorable currency translation effects and a favorable impact of $3.5 million from recent dealer acquisitions, net of a divestiture. The Americas organic revenue growth was less than 1 percent compared to the prior year, which included revenue from two particularly large projects in the energy sector, and EMEA experienced a 3 percent organic revenue decline. Revenue continued to include a higher than normal mix of project business from some of the company's largest corporate customers.
"Following twelve consecutive quarters of year-over-year organic revenue growth, we experienced a modest decline in the first quarter," said James P. Hackett, CEO. "We are not too concerned with this decline, as order growth in the Americas was better than expected, resulting in a strong quarter-end backlog, and customer visits and project activity remain high."
Current quarter operating income of $20.4 million compares to operating income of $19.3 million in the prior year. Excluding restructuring costs, first quarter adjusted operating income of $24.8 million compares with $24.4 million in the prior year.
Cost of sales improved 170 basis points to 68.5 percent of revenue in the current quarter compared to 70.2 percent in the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by net benefits from pricing adjustments and recent restructuring actions in the Americas.
Operating expenses in the first quarter were $185.1 million compared with $176.7 million in the prior year. The increase was largely due to higher variable compensation expense and the impact of recent acquisitions.
Other income, net of $1.2 million in the current quarter decreased by $2.6 million compared to the prior year primarily due to a gain recognized on the sale of a small equity investment recorded in the prior year.
Income tax expense of $4.6 million in the current quarter included $1.6 million of favorable discrete tax items.
"The Americas had another good quarter of operating performance, and EMEA and Asia Pacific reduced their adjusted operating losses compared to the prior year, despite mixed demand environments," said David C. Sylvester, senior vice president and CFO.
The company repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares at a cost of $31.7 million in the first quarter. The company has approximately $110 million of remaining availability under its existing share repurchase authorization.
Cash, short-term investments and the cash surrender value of variable life company-owned life insurance totaled $263 million and total debt was $288 million at the end of the first quarter.
The Board of Directors today declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, to be paid on or before July 12, 2013 to shareholders of record as of July 1, 2013.
Outlook
First quarter order growth in the Americas approximated 7% compared to the prior year, and customer order backlog at the end of the first quarter increased approximately 10% compared to the prior year. EMEA first quarter orders declined by approximately 5% compared to the prior year, while customer order backlog at the end of the first quarter increased approximately 7% compared to the prior year. The company expects second quarter fiscal 2014 revenue to be in the range of $760 to $785 million reflecting stronger than usual sequential growth. This estimate includes an assumption of approximately $4 million from favorable currency translation effects compared to the prior year and approximately $3 million from recent acquisitions, net of a divestiture. Adjusting for these impacts, the company projects second quarter organic revenue growth in the range of 1 to 4 percent over the prior year. The company reported revenue of $744.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Steelcase expects to report earnings between $0.22 to $0.26 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.01 per share. In addition, this estimate includes an unfavorable discrete tax adjustment of approximately $2 million, or $0.02 per share, related to expected changes in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom. Steelcase reported earnings of $0.23 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.02 per share.
"At this year's NeoCon, we continued to demonstrate our strategy of providing innovative products and applications that integrate architecture, furniture and technology," Mr. Hackett said. "We are pleased to have the efforts of our teams recognized by five Best of NeoCon awards, including the most Gold product awards given to any single company."

Business Segment Footnotes
As of November 23, 2012, we realigned portions of our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of the integration of the PolyVision global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group.

As a result of these changes, the results of the PolyVision technology business are now reported in the Americas and EMEA segments. The PolyVision surfaces business remains in the Other category. Similarly, amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.
1. The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Details, Nurture by Steelcase and Turnstone brands.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the company has provided a reconciliation above of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures used within the company's earnings release are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures; (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss), excluding restructuring costs; and (3) adjusted earnings per share, which represents earnings per share, excluding restructuring costs, net of tax. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.
