Fourth Quarter and Full Year Operating Results

"The Joy Global team executed very well and delivered full-year results in line with expectations in what was one of the more challenging years in the company’s recent history," said Ted Doheny, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While difficult commodity market conditions persisted across the year, our team remained focused on improving the company’s cost position and responding to our customer’s requirements with superior service.  For the year, the company exceeded its cost reduction target and grew service bookings by 2 percent.  In addition, with solid cash flow, the company raised its dividend for the first time in five years, repurchased 4.7 million shares and advanced its growth strategy by expanding into underground hard rock mining with the acquisition of Mining Technologies International Inc. (MTI)."

"We look forward to 2015 as an opportunity to further drive our strategies and expand our service business. We remain committed to optimizing our global manufacturing footprint and controlling costs. We are responding faster to our customers as lead times have been reduced. Achieving this balance is critical for our business and will make us more efficient, responsive, and competitive when market conditions improve. While 2015 will be another challenging year, we are confident in our ability to deliver results, generate cash and continue to allocate our capital resources in a disciplined manner that will create long-term value for our shareholders."

Consolidated bookings in the fourth quarter totaled $783 million, a decrease of 27 percent versus the fourth quarter of last year. Original equipment orders decreased 63 percent while service orders decreased 9 percent compared to the prior year. Current quarter bookings were reduced by $38 million from the impact of foreign currency exchange movements versus the year ago period, a $20 million decrease for original equipment and an $18 million decrease for service bookings. When adjusting for foreign currency exchange, orders were down 24 percent compared to the fourth quarter of last year, with original equipment orders down 58 percent and service orders down 6 percent.

Bookings for underground mining machinery decreased 36 percent in comparison to the fourth quarter of last year. Original equipment orders decreased 69 percent compared to the prior year, largely due to a longwall system booked in Australia in the prior year. Original equipment orders decreased in all regions, with the exception of Africa. Service orders decreased 14 percent compared to the prior year with decreases in Eurasia and Australia, in particular, more than offsetting a modest increase in North America. The year over year decrease in Australia was primarily related to service revenue associated with the prior year longwall system booking.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 totaled $187 million, compared to $48 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding unusual items in both periods, operating profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 totaled $197 million, compared to $193 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, and return on sales was 17.3 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 16.3 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in operating profit, before unusual items in both periods, was due to higher service volumes, favorable manufacturing cost absorption and savings from the company's cost reduction program, partially offset by lower original equipment volumes and increased incentive compensation expense.

Restructuring activities continued in the current quarter to optimize the company's manufacturing footprint and to better align its overall cost structure with anticipated demand.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the company reviewed its brand portfolio and developed a strategy to increase the visibility of its core brands in furtherance of the One Joy Global initiative. During this review the company determined that the indefinite life assumption was no longer appropriate for most of its previously acquired trademarks. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $155.2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, of which $130.2 million was recorded by the underground segment and $25.0 million was recorded by the surface segment.

Other income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 also included $28 million for the settlement of two legal claims.

Fully diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 totaled $1.38, compared to $0.25 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding unusual items and net discrete tax benefits in both periods, fully diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 totaled $1.25, compared to $1.11 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

The effective income tax rate was 21.3 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 21.0 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding unusual items, acquisition activities and discrete tax benefits in both periods, the effective income tax rate was 32.5 percent and 34.3 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, with the difference driven primarily by the change in mix of geographic earnings. The discrete tax benefits in the fourth quarter were primarily attributable to favorable income tax audit settlements and the release of certain reserves for which the statute of limitations had expired.

Cash provided by continuing operations was $65 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $195 million provided by continuing operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in cash from continuing operations during the fourth quarter was primarily due to the change in trade working capital in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period. The use of cash for trade working capital in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was due to the timing of certain receivable collections moving into fiscal 2015 related to strong fourth quarter 2014 shipments and a decline in advance payments from lower original equipment bookings.

Capital expenditures were $22 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $36 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock for $75 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the company repurchased approximately 4.1 million shares of its common stock for $214 million.

Fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2014 totaled $3.28, compared to $4.99 in fiscal 2013. Excluding unusual items in both periods, fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2014 totaled $3.29, compared to $5.83 in fiscal 2013.

The effective income tax rate was 28.3 percent for fiscal 2014, compared to 30.1 percent in fiscal 2013. Excluding unusual items, acquisition activities and discrete tax benefits in both periods, the effective income tax rate was 32.7 percent and 31.7 percent in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year was primarily attributable to a change in geographical mix of earnings and a change in the net operating losses of certain foreign subsidiaries without a currently recognizable tax benefit. The discrete tax benefits in the fiscal year were primarily attributable to favorable income tax audit settlements and release of certain reserves for which the statute of limitations had expired.

Cash provided by continuing operations was $363 million for fiscal 2014, compared to $639 million in fiscal 2013. The decrease in cash provided by continuing operations during the year was primarily due to lower earnings and changes in trade working capital levels, partially offset by lower contributions to defined benefit plans.

Capital expenditures were $91 million in fiscal 2014, compared to $153 million in fiscal 2013.

During fiscal 2014, the company repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares of its common stock for $269 million. During fiscal 2013, the company repurchased approximately 4.1 million shares of its common stock for $214 million. Since inception of its share repurchase program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the company has repurchased 8.8 million shares of its common stock for $483 million, leaving $517 million available under the current Board authorization which expires in fiscal 2016.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted operating profit before unusual items and acquisition activities are provided to present consistency within the results across the periods.

Market Outlook

During 2014, most major commodity markets served by the company remained in surplus as a slower than expected supply response was met by weakening global demand. These conditions resulted in a depressed pricing environment for most of the year that continued to influence the capital spending plans of our customers. Mining industry capital expenditures declined in 2014 for the

second consecutive year, with further declines expected in 2015 as companies seek to optimize their mining portfolios to operate in a lower commodity price environment.

Since peaking during July, global economic growth has slowed in recent months as geographic and geopolitical issues have weighed on the overall global economy. Manufacturing conditions in the Eurozone slowed throughout the year weighing on economic growth, which reached 16-month lows in November. Along with this, consumer confidence in Europe has eroded and suggests the need for further policy measures to avoid a renewed contraction in economic activity. Chinese growth remains muted as the ongoing transition to a more consumer driven economy has slowed manufacturing growth. While growth in China is expected to exceed 7 percent in 2014, conditions constraining growth persist, including a cooling of the housing market, high levels of debt and a weak export market.

After one of the coldest winters on record in 2013, U.S. coal markets were poised to see a rebound in production during 2014. However, a cooler-than-normal summer, record domestic natural gas production, and reduced export opportunities reduced the U.S. coal production outlook. Production during 2014 is now expected to be flat, while coal consumption in the electric power sector should increase 2 to 3 percent. Coal inventories across the country remain 15 percent below 10-year averages and could provide a catalyst for increased production should demand pick up. Looking into 2015, U.S. coal markets will remain constrained as expected gas production growth of nearly 5 percent and depressed seaborne prices weigh on U.S. coal production, which will likely be flat with 2014.

After falling over 20 percent during 2014, seaborne thermal coal markets are expected to remain under pressure as new supply outpaces demand in 2015. The ramp-up of mine projects started during the 2011 to 2013 cycle is expected to reach a peak in 2015, before the market begins to rebalance in 2016 and beyond. Thermal coal prices are expected to average $65 per tonne in 2015 pressuring nearly 40 percent of the seaborne market.

Seaborne thermal coal markets continue to be influenced by domestic Chinese policies including import restrictions, usage bans, and production curtailments. Domestic Chinese production is down 3 percent year-to-date and likely has established a new near-term run rate of 3.5 billion tonnes of production. Over 1,800 mines in China have been closed since 2013 due to safety reasons and production inefficiencies, and further consolidation is expected to continue in 2015. The domestic Chinese market is expected to recover slowly as excess capacity is absorbed and the effects of governmental policies continue to materialize in 2015.  

Similar conditions are expected in the met coal market where prices now sit at 5-year lows nearing $110 per tonne. While nearly 30 million tonnes of curtailments have been announced year-to-date, the impact of these cuts won’t be felt until 2015. Oversupplied conditions are expected to elicit further supply curtailments in 2015 before a recovery in prices begins. Further straining the market is the decelerating growth rate in global steel production. 2014 is likely to finish with global steel production increasing approximately 3 percent, before slowing to a 2 percent growth rate in 2015.

The slowdown in steel production has also impacted the global iron ore market. The seaborne iron ore market is facing nearly 200mt of new supply coming online in 2015 and 2016. Combined with the possibility of slowing demand, iron ore prices are expected to remain in the range between $70 and $85 per tonne with movements primarily driven by the reaction of marginal supply in China and elsewhere.

Despite copper prices falling over 10 percent since the beginning of the year and with current prices hovering around $3 per pound, further investment remains attractive for 90 percent of copper producers. Through the first nine months of the year, the global copper market has seen a deficit of nearly 425,000 tonnes with a full-year deficit expected at approximately 270,000 tonnes. New supply growth in 2015 is expected to move the market to a surplus of nearly 355,000 tonnes on average for the next two years. Post-2016, the copper market is expected to return to deficit as economic growth drives demand and investment in new capacity growth slows.   

While global economic growth is expected to improve modestly in 2015, the rate of growth has been reduced in recent months which could exacerbate the supply rationalization process facing most major commodity markets. Multi-year low commodity prices will continue to impact customer capital expenditure decisions and drive demand for only those products and services that improve mine productivity and reduce operating cost. While a number of mines have closed over the last year, there remain many high-cost uneconomic mines that will face pressure in 2015 as the industry continues to consolidate and optimize the global portfolio of mines.

Company Outlook

"While commodity prices remain depressed with limited upside expected in 2015, we continue to focus on those things that we can control," continued Doheny. "Our focus remains on creating growth with new products and providing world class direct service and support to our customers. While service bookings contracted slightly year over year during the fourth quarter, we were encouraged with the sequential stability in the fourth quarter as compared to the third quarter and the 2 percent increase in service bookings during 2014 compared to 2013.

"Despite challenging market conditions and an environment where capital expenditure decisions are being highly scrutinized, we will continue to make the necessary investments that are required to provide world-class service to our customers. During 2014, we opened a new service center in Australia that is capable of handling both surface and underground machinery. Improving our service infrastructure near our customer's mines is important as we seek to increase the share of service work on our fleet of equipment in the field and drive our branded consumable product offerings. With our service business representing nearly 70 percent of our revenue in 2014, developing our global network of service centers will remain a priority in 2015 beginning with our Peru and Russia locations, which set to open in fiscal 2015.

"Given the market landscape for 2015, we remain committed to controlling costs and optimizing our global manufacturing footprint. The deployment of our JBS ("Joy Business System") operational excellence programs will continue in 2015 as we seek continuous improvement of all functions, service centers and manufacturing operations to better position our business for future growth.

"In addition, we will look to create growth by bringing new products, applications and systems to the market that improves our customers’ mine performance. In 2014, we booked our first high productivity low seam longwall system which is set to begin production in early 2015. Strategic investments made over the last several years have resulted in new products and systems that are enabling significant cost savings for our customers; the fully automated low seam longwall, a new heavy continuous miner linked with our exclusive flexible conveyor train for applications in potash and salt, and our new hybrid wheel loader for underground hard rock applications. These are just some examples where we will continue to focus our new product development activities and spending that will help us create growth in a down market.

"With respect to the MTI acquisition, we are encouraged by prospect activity and our ability to generate top line growth in 2015 through our global sales and service network. We will continue to drive our strategy to expand our product offering in underground hard rock mining through organic technology development and acquired growth, and believe that this strategy will deliver strong returns to shareholders over the long term.

"In 2015, we will also continue to implement our domestic China strategy of delivering customized full-systems solutions to our customers, and believe this is the right strategy for a market that is rapidly consolidating and broadly seeking to move sustainably lower on the global cost curve. We are seeing success in moving certain customers from lower technology products to higher technology, more integrated customized mining solutions. We remain committed to this strategy, and will continue to invest in our local China product and systems capability to provide a full range of mining solutions for our customers inside and outside of China.

"For fiscal year 2015, we expect consolidated revenue in the range of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion and earnings per fully diluted share, excluding restructuring and unusual items, in the range of $3.10 to $3.50. Restructuring charges for fiscal 2015 are expected to be approximately $10 million. At the mid-point of our full year guidance, we expect modest growth in service and new products to be more than offset by lower baseline original equipment sales as a result of sequentially weaker commodity prices. As is typical in our business, our first fiscal quarter has a number of holidays that reduce production volumes. Additional pressure will be felt this year as challenging market conditions have led a number of our customers to announce their intention to take partial or full shut-downs for various periods of time during our first fiscal quarter. This combination makes our first quarter disproportionately challenging when compared to the rest of the year and our historic seasonality.
