Mueller Water Products Reports Fiscal 2012 Third Quarter Results
Net Sales Increased 6.3 Percent Over Prior Year
$0.05 Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2012--Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA) today reported net sales of $275.9 million and net income of $9.8 million for the fiscal 2012 third quarter ended June 30, 2012. Summarized consolidated results from continuing operations for the 2012 third quarter compared to the 2011 third quarter results were:
- Net sales for the 2012 third quarter increased 6.3 percent to $275.9 million from $259.6 million for the 2011 third quarter.
- Operating income for the 2012 third quarter increased to $25.7 million from $24.7 million for the 2011 third quarter. Adjusted operating income for the 2012 third quarter increased 5.6 percent to $26.4 million from $25.0 million for the 2011 third quarter.
- Net income per diluted share was $0.06 for the 2012 third quarter compared to ($0.02) for the 2011 third quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the 2012 third quarter increased to $41.4 million from $40.7 million for the 2011 third quarter.
- Free cash flow for the 2012 third quarter year-to-date increased to $5.0 million from ($16.1) million for the 2011 third quarter year-to-date.
- The Company reduced its total debt outstanding by $69.7 million to $622.8 million during the 2012 third quarter.
“Third quarter results yielded increases in net sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA on a year-over-year basis,” said Gregory E. Hyland, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water Products. “The data on the residential construction market is trending positive, and we believe we benefitted from the improvement in this market during the third quarter.
“Net sales in Mueller Co.’s base business increased 6.9 percent in the third quarter and adjusted operating income grew 14.0 percent, driven by increased domestic shipments of valves and hydrants. We also had a number of important wins at both Mueller Systems and Echologics. Mueller Systems announced a significant agreement with American Water, the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, for water meters and automated meter reading systems; and also a notable agreement with Bentonville, Arkansas for water meters and our advanced metering infrastructure system. Echologics also recently extended its contract with the City of New Orleans to continue supplying leak detection and pipe condition assessment services. We are encouraged to see the traction these newer technology businesses are gaining in the marketplace, which is evidence of their ability to grow going forward.
“Anvil again delivered solid results in the third quarter but began to see softening in certain markets. Net sales remained flat; however, adjusted operating income increased year-over-year.
“We continue to believe that we are well positioned for future profitable growth particularly with improving end-market dynamics as we are able to increase capacity utilization.”
Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Net sales for the 2012 third quarter of $275.9 million increased $16.3 million, or 6.3 percent, from the 2011 third quarter net sales of $259.6 million due to higher shipment volumes and higher prices.
Adjusted operating income for the 2012 third quarter of $26.4 million increased from $25.0 million for the 2011 third quarter, driven primarily by higher sales volumes and prices mentioned above, partially offset by planned investments in the growth of Mueller Systems and Echologics.
Third Quarter Segment Results
Mueller Co.
Net sales for the 2012 third quarter of $182.6 million increased 10.1 percent from the 2011 third quarter of $165.8 million. This increase was due to higher shipment volumes across Mueller Co.’s base business, Mueller Systems and Echologics and higher prices primarily in our base business, partially offset by unfavorable Canadian currency exchange rates. The increase in net sales in Mueller Co.’s base business, which excludes Mueller Systems and Echologics, was primarily due to higher domestic shipments of valve, hydrant and brass products as well as higher pricing.
Adjusted operating income for the 2012 third quarter was $24.6 million compared to adjusted operating income for the 2011 third quarter of $22.8 million. The adjusted operating income of Mueller Co.’s base business improved 14.0 percent from the 2011 third quarter, and adjusted operating margin was 17.2 percent.
Anvil
Net sales for the 2012 third quarter were $93.3 million compared to net sales for the 2011 third quarter of $93.8 million. Lower shipment volumes were mostly offset by higher prices.
Adjusted operating income for the 2012 third quarter of $9.9 million improved slightly from adjusted operating income for the 2011 third quarter of $9.6 million. Adjusted operating margin for the 2012 third quarter was 10.6 percent compared to adjusted operating margin of 10.2 percent for the 2011 third quarter.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, excluding terminated swap contracts, decreased $1.1 million in the third quarter year-over-year due primarily to lower levels of total debt outstanding. Interest expense, net for the 2012 third quarter was $14.9 million, which included $1.3 million of non-cash costs for terminated interest rate swap contracts, compared to $16.8 million for the 2011 third quarter, which included $2.1 million for such contracts. Although these contracts were terminated prior to 2011, the related costs are being amortized over the original term of the swap contracts.
Income Taxes
During the 2012 third quarter, income tax expense was $3.4 million on income before taxes of $9.3 million, or an effective income tax rate of 36.6 percent. The effective income tax rate for the 2011 third quarter was 12.7 percent, reflecting an adjustment to estimated tax rates for state and non-U.S. income taxes on pre-tax earnings of $7.9 million. Net operating loss carryforwards remain available to offset future taxable earnings.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the 2012 third quarter were primarily related to a refinement of the income tax valuation allowance recorded in the 2012 second quarter.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, free cash flow and net debt as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring. This amount divided by net sales is adjusted operating margin. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring, depreciation and amortization. This amount divided by net sales is adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company presents adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because these are measures management believes are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share exclude discontinued operations, restructuring, certain costs from settled interest rate swap contracts, transactions for the early extinguishment of debt and income tax effects of these excluded items. These items are excluded because they are not considered indicative of recurring operations. Free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures from continuing operations. It is presented as a measurement of cash flows because management believes it is commonly used by the investment community. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is commonly used by the investment community as a measure of indebtedness. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release and has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.
