Myers Industries Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
Diluted EPS $0.17 compared with $0.21 in 3Q 2011
Adjusted EPS $0.20 compared with $0.14 in 3Q 2011
Gross margin increased to 26.7% versus 25.1% for 3Q 2011
Recently announced acquisition of Jamco Products Inc. in Material Handling Segment
October 18, 2012, Akron, Ohio—Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net sales for the third quarter were $197.3 million compared with $190.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. Strong sales performance in the Engineered Products Segment combined with a sales increase in the Material Handling Segment more than offset a sales decrease in the Distribution Segment. Gross margin expanded to 26.7% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 25.1% in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in gross margin was the result of lower manufacturing costs and improved productivity during the quarter.
Net income in the third quarter of 2012 was $5.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Net income in the third quarter of 2012 included approximately $2.4 million of special net pre-tax costs while net income in the third quarter of 2011 included approximately $2.0 million of special pre-tax costs. Details regarding the special pre-tax costs for both quarters are provided on theReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this release. Net income in the third quarter of 2011 also included net favorable income tax adjustments of approximately $3.8 million for discreet items. Earnings per diluted share as adjusted for the special items and the net favorable tax adjustments were $0.20 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $0.14 in the third quarter of 2011.
President and Chief Executive Officer John C. Orr said, “Despite current market challenges, we are encouraged by our financial performance for the third quarter of 2012. Our income before taxes improved 43.1% over last year’s third quarter. This was due to a strong performance in Material Handling, including our Brazil-based Novel acquisition. We had improved results versus last year in Lawn & Garden as well. We expect that both our fourth quarter and full year performance will show improved results compared to last year. On October 2nd, we announced that we acquired Jamco Products Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial steel carts and safety cabinets. This acquisition further expands our Material Handling business, specifically in storage and safety products, which we have identified as a key growth platform.”
Segment Results
The results below are asadjusted andexclude special pre-tax costs as detailed on theReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this release.
TheMaterial Handling Segment’snet sales in the third quarter of 2012 were $76.2 million compared to $72.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. Sales generated from the acquisition of Plasticos Novel Do Nordeste S.A.® in July more than offset lower year-over-year sales for the balance of the segment due to a delay in shipments resulting from a shift in customer demand to the fourth quarter. Material Handling’s income before taxes was $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily the result of improved productivity and lower manufacturing costs.
TheLawn & Garden Segment’s net sales in the third quarter of 2012 were $45.3 million compared to $45.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Lawn & Garden reported break-even income before taxes in the third quarter of 2012 compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. By driving productivity improvements, material substitution cost savings and lower distribution costs; the segment was able to improve income before taxes despite flat sales year-over-year.
TheDistribution Segment’snet sales were $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $48.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. A decline in the replacement tire industry combined with lower equipment sales led to the decrease in sales year-over-year. Distribution’s adjusted income before taxes was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. The lower sales volume during the quarter led to the decrease in income before taxes.
TheEngineered Products Segment’s net sales were $35.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $29.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. Strong sales across all end markets generated the 22% increase in sales year-over-year. Engineered Products’ adjusted income before taxes was $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increased sales during the quarter was the primary reason for the higher income before taxes year-over-year.
Other Financial Items
Capital expenditures totaled $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and are forecasted to be approximately $27 million to $30 million in 2012.
At September 30, 2012, debt, net of cash, was $90.2 million compared to $67.2 million at December 31, 2011.
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recognized net favorable income tax adjustments of approximately $3.8 million that were largely the result of realizing previously reserved tax benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for items relating to the sale of one of our subsidiaries in 2007, and other tax adjustments.
Subsequent Event
The Company acquired Jamco Products Inc., a leading producer of heavy-duty industrial steel carts and safety cabinets. Jamco’s manufacturing facilities are located in South Beloit, Illinois. Jamco became part of the Material Handling Segment effective October 1, 2012. Visit www.jamcoproducts.com to learn more.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Outlook
The Company anticipates that despite a relatively weak industrial market, fourth quarter results will benefit from some shifting of Material Handling orders from earlier this year to the fourth quarter, and from continued strengthening in Lawn & Garden compared with last year. However, the decline in the replacement tire industry and the return of transplant automotive from elevated demand trends to more normal demand trends may offset some of those benefits. The Company expects that both fourth quarter and full year performance will reflect improved results compared to 2011.
