Enhanced Engineering and Manufacturing Capabilities due to Remmele Engineering Acquisition
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2012--RTI International Metals, Inc. (NYSE: RTI), released results today for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012. These results include the impact of the acquisition of Remmele Engineering, which closed on February 13, 2012. First-quarter year-over-year revenue and backlog increased 35% and 60%, respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2011. This reflects growth in RTI’s aerospace, defense and medical device markets.
Highlights of RTI’s first quarter results for 2012 follow:
Financial Summary
First quarter 2012 vs. 2011 comparisons:
- Q1 net sales increased to $162.9 million from $120.9 million in 2011.
- Operating income increased to $13.0 million in 2012 vs. $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2011.
- Quarterly net income rose to $5.6 million or $0.19 per diluted share. For the same period in 2011, net income was $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
- Titanium mill product shipments during the quarter were 4.3 million pounds compared to 3.1 million pounds in 2011.
- Average realized mill product price in Q1 was $19.41 per pound compared to $20.00 per pound during the same period in 2011.
- The backlog at the end of the quarter increased to $563.0 million from $350.0 million in the same period last year.
First Quarter Highlights
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company closed on its recent acquisition of Remmele Engineering, Inc. and completed the integration of RTI Advanced Forming, which was acquired in November of 2011. Remmele Engineering is a precision machining and collaborative engineering firm, while RTI Advanced Forming is a titanium hot forming business. Both companies serve the aerospace and defense industries and enhance RTI’s downstream, advanced titanium fabrication capacity and capabilities. Remmele also provides contract engineering, design and manufacturing services for the medical device industry.
Also during the first quarter, the Company reached an agreement with the United Steelworkers of America Local 2155 on a new labor contract that extends through June 30, 2018. The successful negotiations were completed early, as the previous agreement did not expire until June 30, 2013. The new contract addresses wages, pensions and profit sharing for 350 union-represented employees at the RTI Niles facility.
Titanium Group
For the first quarter of 2012, the Titanium Group posted operating income of $9.0 million on sales of $88.7 million, including intersegment sales of $49.9 million. During the same period in 2011, this Group had operating income of $8.7 million on sales of $69.3 million, including intersegment sales of $33.8 million. The year-over-year increase in the Group’s operating profit was positively impacted by a duty drawback accrual reversal of $3.0 million offset by ongoing expenses associated with the production ramp up of the forging operations at the new Martinsville plant, and increased raw material costs in the recent period versus the same period in 2011. The results for the first quarter of 2011 were positively impacted by the settlement of accrued contractual commitments at the Company’s cancelled titanium sponge plant.
Mill product shipments for the first quarter were 4.3 million pounds at an average realized price of $19.41 per pound, compared to mill product shipments of 3.1 million pounds in the first quarter of 2011 at an average realized price of $20.00 per pound.
Fabrication Group
For the first quarter of 2012, Fabrication Group results were just above breakeven on net sales of $61.8 million. For the same period in 2011, this Group had an operating loss of $1.3 million on net sales of $38.1 million. The Group’s increase in sales was driven primarily from the two recent acquisitions – Remmele Engineering and RTI Advanced Forming - that contributed over $24 million of profitable incremental sales. However, the operating results for this Group continue to be negatively affected by the slow demand for seat tracks and other titanium components for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program.
Distribution Group
For the first quarter of 2012, the Distribution Group posted operating income of $3.9 million on net sales of $62.3 million. For the same period in 2011, the Group had operating income of $2.0 million on net sales of $47.2 million. The Group’s results reflect increased demand for titanium products, primarily in the commercial aerospace market plus a favorable product mix.
CEO Comment
“During the quarter, we closed the Remmele Engineering acquisition and completed the integration of RTI Advanced Forming. The reaction by our key strategic customers to the increased breadth and depth of our engineering, forming and machining capabilities has been extremely positive. In addition, customers of Remmele’s medical device components business have expressed strong support for its acquisition by a long-term, strategic enterprise with a strong and conservative balance sheet,” said Dawne S. Hickton, Vice Chair, President, and CEO of RTI.
“With respect to the first quarter, our operating income performance for all three segments exceeded our expectations. These businesses are growing while operational enhancements throughout our internal supply chain are taking hold. We expect our full-year operating income for 2012 to be in the range of $45 to $50 million, after the impact of acquisition-related adjustments,” Ms. Hickton concluded.
