Second quarter sales were up year-over-year in all major categories of the home appliances segment -- refrigeration, laundry, cooking, dishwashing and floor care. Sales of Commercial Products declined versus a year ago, a result of continued weakness in the vending industry.
Maytag Chairman and CEO Ralph Hake said that sales of major appliances showed solid improvement during the quarter with refrigeration and cooking product sales up appreciably. “Sales of our French-Door bottom-freezers under the Jenn-Air, Maytag and Amana brand names are strong. In cooking, all Jenn- Air products, including cook tops and wall ovens generated positive gains for the company. Also, Jenn-Air stainless steel dishwashers and Maytag’s new Neptune front-load washers have generated encouraging consumer interest this quarter.”
Hake noted that all floor care categories sold under the Hoover brand experienced significant year-over-year growth with market share gains in upright vacuums as the primary sales driver.
Maytag Services and Maytag International continued to produce strong revenue growth compared to the second quarter of 2004.
“Compared to last year, operations benefited from sales growth, a positive mix in major appliances, and savings from our ‘One Company’ restructuring and the Galesburg plant closing,” said Hake. “However, these improvements were offset by rising raw material costs including steel and resins, higher fuel and transportation costs and lower floor care pricing.”
Sales were up sequentially from the first quarter of 2005, benefiting from refrigeration sales beyond normal seasonal increases. Operating income was down sequentially from the first quarter of 2005, due to planned national advertising expenditure increases, which more than offset the benefit from increased sales.
During the quarter, the company signed a commitment letter for a $500 million five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility. The new credit facility would be fully underwritten by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and secured by accounts receivable and inventory of certain Maytag subsidiaries. The company also announced that it has amended its current $300 million revolving credit facility, due March 2007. The current $300 million credit facility would be replaced upon the issuance of the $500 million credit facility.
Six-Month Performance
Maytag’s sales in the first six months of 2005 were $2.40 billion, up one percent from sales of $2.37 billion in the first six months of 2004. Operating income was $43.8 million, up from $30.2 million reported in the year-earlier period.
Reported net income for the first six months of 2005 was $11.2 million, or 14 cents per share. In the first six months of 2004, Maytag reported a net loss of $2.4 million, or 3 cents per share.
For the first six months of 2005, cash flow used by operations was $47.4 million, approximately the same as the first six months of 2004. The use of cash flow in both periods is due primarily to seasonal increases in working capital. Cash flow was also impacted by lower pension contributions in the first half of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. As of the end of the second quarter, cash and cash equivalents increased by $61.5 million to $69 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, and total debt levels declined by $118 million to $977 million.
The earnings (loss) per share for the first six months of 2005 and 2004 included the following items:
