Harsco Reports 2005 Cash Flows From Operations; Issues Financial Statements in Support of Previously-Announced Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2005 Results
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Worldwide industrial services and products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) today reported its cash flow from operations results for 2005, and issued its balance sheet and cash flow statement for the fourth quarter and full year 2005.
In its January 31, 2006 earnings release, the Company had noted that its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 were still being finalized to reflect the inclusion of the Company's fourth quarter acquisitions. Those statements are now complete and attached hereto along with the Consolidated Statements of Income and Review of Operations by Segment as previously issued. This full set of Statements is also being posted to the Company's website.
The Company said its 2005 cash flows from operations climbed 17 percent to $315 million, reflecting its strategic initiatives for continued growth and improved performance and capping a year of strong operating results in sales, income and diluted EPS. For 2006, the Company has set a cash flow target of $400 million, a 27 percent increase over the 2005 level.
