- Revenues of $886.1 million, Increased 3.9%- GAAP Earnings per Share of $0.65, Adjusted Earnings per Share of $0.72- Quarterly Dividend of $0.08 per share

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 7, 2013--The Babcock & Wilcox Company (NYSE: BWC) (“B&W” or the “Company”) today reported second quarter 2013 revenues of $886.1 million, an increase of $33.5 million, or 3.9%, from the second quarter of 2012. GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were $0.65 compared to $0.65 in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013, which excludes the impact of $12.2 million of restructuring charges, were $0.72, an increase of $0.07, or 10.8%, versus the second quarter of 2012.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $68.8 million. Through June 30, 2013, the Company has repurchased a total of 8.5 million shares at a cost of $222.4 leaving approximately $277.6 million of capacity remaining under its previously announced $500 million share repurchase authorization.

Results of Operations

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $886.1 million, an increase of $33.5 million, or 3.9%, from the second quarter of 2012. Revenues in the Nuclear Operations segment increased by $65.6 million compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the timing of activity in the manufacturing of nuclear components for US government programs. Second quarter 2013 revenues of the Power Generation segment decreased by $25.8 million versus the same period in 2012, largely as a result of revised percentage-of-completion estimates for a project on which we recognized contract losses during the quarter. Bookings for the 2013 second quarter totaled $766.2 million, an increase of 25.4% compared to $610.8 million booked in the prior year period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $98.7 million, a decrease of $11.4 million from the second quarter of 2012. Compared to the prior year, the mPower and Nuclear Operations segments reported increases in operating income of $31.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively, which were offset by decreases in the operating income of the Power Generation, Nuclear Energy and Technical Services segments of $27.6 million, $12.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The mPower segment improvement was attributable to the recognition of the cost-sharing award from the Department of Energy (DOE) under the Cooperative Agreement. The decrease in the Power Generation segment operating income was driven by the recognition of $30.2 million of additional contract losses related to revised estimated costs to complete a biomass boiler project largely due to unforeseen worksite conditions, for which losses previously were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating income of the Nuclear Energy segment was primarily attributable to an $18.1 million gain from a contract settlement agreement recognized in the prior year quarter.

Included in operating income for the second quarter 2013 were $12.2 million of special charges for restructuring activities related to our Global Competitiveness Initiative (GCI). Excluding the restructuring charges, adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $110.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2012.

“Overall, B&W’s second quarter results reflect solid performances across our business units, highlighted by improved bookings and revenue, as well as the benefit of the DOE grant,” said E. James Ferland, President and Chief Executive Officer of B&W. “What would have been an exceptionally strong quarter for operating income and margin was impacted by the recognition of significant losses on a single project. Claims against the customer are substantial in value and any recovery of these additional losses will be realized in future periods.”

“In addition, we have made outstanding progress on our GCI initiatives and now believe this program will exceed our initial expectations of $40 million to $50 million in total annual cost savings as we continue to identify opportunities to streamline operations and reduce overhead expenses,” Ferland concluded.

Quarterly Dividend

On August 6, 2013, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share. The dividend will be payable on September 10, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 20, 2013.

Liquidity

The Company’s cash and investments position, net of debt, was $358.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $56.2 million compared to $414.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2013. During the quarter, the Company repurchased common shares totaling $68.8 million, contributed $15.0 million to its pension plans and paid dividends of $9.0 million. In addition to net cash, the Company maintains a $700.0 million revolving credit agreement with $552.2 million of availability as of the end of the second quarter.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2013

The Company now expects 2013 consolidated revenues to be between $3.4 billion and $3.5 billion. The Company reaffirms its expectation that adjusted earnings per share for the full year 2013 will be between $2.25 and $2.45. Adjusted earnings per share exclude GCI restructuring charges and the year-end mark-to-market adjustment for pension and post-retirement benefits.
