Exide Technologies Reports Fiscal 2009 Third Quarter Earnings With Adjusted EBITDA At 9.3% of Net Sales Versus 7.2% in the Comparable Prior Year Quarter
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Feb. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exide Technologies (Nasdaq:XIDE) (www.exide.com), a global leader in stored electrical energy solutions, announced today its financial results for its fiscal 2009 third quarter, which ended December 31, 2008.
Highlights of Fiscal 2009 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Results:
* Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $73.0 million; resulting in
Adjusted EBITDA of $212.3 million year-to-date, a 29% improvement
over the prior year nine month period;
* Generated free cash flow of $74.7 million in the nine month
period ended December 31, 2008 as compared with free cash flow
burn of ($129.4) million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008;
* Net income for the fiscal 2009 third quarter of $15.4 million, or
$0.20 per diluted share versus net income of $19.3 million, or
$0.25 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2008;
* Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2009 third quarter of $18.2
million or $0.23 per diluted share as compared to $17.3 million or
$0.23 per diluted share in the fiscal 2008 third quarter; and
* Reduced debt by $41.6 million and $102.0 million, in the three
and nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 respectively,
principally through reduction of accounts receivable factoring.
Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Fiscal 2009 third quarter consolidated net sales were $782.6 million as compared to net sales of $1.04 billion in the fiscal 2008 third quarter. Net sales in the fiscal 2009 period were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation, price reductions due to significantly lower average lead prices and overall lower unit volumes. A stronger dollar against most foreign currencies resulted in unfavorable currency translation of approximately $57 million. Pricing reductions resulting from existing lead escalator arrangements reduced third quarter sales by approximately $109 million, the result of a 61% drop in the average cost of lead in the current fiscal quarter when compared to the fiscal 2008 quarter. Favorable non-lead pricing in all divisions served to partially offset volume softness.
Consolidated net income for the fiscal 2009 third quarter was $15.4 million or $0.20 per diluted share compared to net income for the fiscal 2008 third quarter of $19.3 million or $0.25 per diluted share. The results for these comparable periods are impacted by the following items:
* The results of the fiscal 2009 third quarter include currency
remeasurement losses, net of tax, in the amount of $4.7 million
or ($0.06) per share, while the results of the fiscal 2008 third
quarter include currency remeasurement income of $5.7 million,
net of tax, or $0.07 per share.
* The fiscal 2009 third quarter includes unrealized gain from
revaluation of our warrants liability in the amount of $7.1
million or $0.09 per share.
* The fiscal 2009 third quarter results include restructuring
charges of $7.3 million, net of tax, or ($0.09) per share. These
charges are principally the result of an accelerated
reduction-in-force program in Europe and Australia. This amount
compares with net of tax restructuring charges in the third
quarter of the prior year in the amount of $1.6 million or
($0.02) per share.
* The current quarter tax provision includes a net $2.4 million or
$0.03 per share one-time credit.
Excluding the impact of the above-described, non-operational items, adjusted net income for the fiscal 2009 third quarter was $18.2 million or $0.23 per share. This compares with adjusted net income for the comparable prior year period of $17.3 million or $0.23 per share. A reconciliation of net income and net income per share to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share is provided below.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal 2009 third quarter was $73.0 million as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $75.0 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 20.7% or $162.0 million in the fiscal 2009 third quarter, compared to 15.9% of net sales or $165.8 million in the prior year period, a 480 basis point margin improvement. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is the result of continued focus on cost efficiencies, retention of non-lead related pricing partially offset by an $11.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, and by rising non-lead commodity costs. Gordon A. Ulsh, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "All four business segments contributed to this quarter's improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales notwithstanding the global economic headwinds. We are unrelenting as we strive to become more operationally efficient, improving productivity throughout our organization and driving p rofitability."
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal 2009 third quarter decreased to $114.8 million versus the prior year comparable period of $120.0 million. Approximately $9.9 million of the decrease resulted from foreign currency translation. This decrease was offset by increased spending on targeted marketing efforts and our increasing investment in engineering resources, including our new Industrial Energy engineering center in Germany.
Net interest expense decreased 19.2% or $4.2 million to $17.5 million in the fiscal 2009 third quarter as compared to $21.7 million in the fiscal 2008 third quarter as a result of lower average net debt and the favorable impact of lower interest rates. At December 31, 2008, net debt decreased 14% to $538.6 million from $625.6 million at March 31, 2008. Factoring of European accounts receivable was reduced to $21.5 million at December 31, 2008 from $94.3 million at March 31, 2008.
Fiscal 2009 Nine Month Consolidated Results
The Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 of $5.1 million or ($0.07) per share as compared to a net loss of $31.2 million or ($0.47) per share in the prior year period. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $49.7 million or $0.65 per share. This compares to an adjusted net income of $9.5 million or $0.14 per share for the prior year nine month period.
Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 aggregated $2.67 billion as compared with $2.67 billion for the prior year period. Excluding the effect of favorable foreign currency translation, net sales decreased 2% over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 increased 29% to $212.3 million versus $164.0 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is the result of continued improvements in operational efficiencies and the retention of non-lead related pricing which have more than offset the impact of lower unit sales in most channels served by our businesses.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $148.4 million and $141.2 million availability under its bank revolving loan facility. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $90.5 million and $136.4 million availability under the revolving loan facility at March 31, 2008. Free cash flow was a positive $74.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to a free cash flow burn of ($129.4) million for the same period of fiscal 2008. This increase is due to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and significantly improved working capital resulting from lower lead prices, partially offset by planned increases in restructuring and capital expenditures.
Segment Information for the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31
Transportation Segments
Net sales of the Company's combined Transportation segments in the fiscal 2009 third quarter were $483.4 million as compared to $650.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. Excluding the $25.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales in the fiscal 2009 third quarter decreased $141.6 million from the prior year period. Price reductions driven by the de-escalation of average lead prices negatively impacted net sales by $82.1 million in the fiscal 2009 third quarter. Both Transportation segments experienced lower unit volumes in the current fiscal year quarter primarily driven by lower OE production, but also weaker aftermarket sales as customers slowed inventory builds. Net sales for the nine months year-to-date was basically flat at $1.6 billion as compared to the same period of fiscal 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA for the combined Transportation segments was $43.3 million in the fiscal 2009 third quarter versus $52.9 million in the comparable fiscal 2008 period. Adjusted EBITDA for Transportation Americas improved in the current fiscal year quarter over the prior year period despite lower profits from its recycling operations; the result of dramatically lower lead prices. "The segment's ability to improve its profitability in the face of this headwind and lower unit volumes reflects diligence around cost control and pricing discipline," said Mr. Ulsh. "Transportation Europe and Rest of World Adjusted EBITDA declined in the fiscal 2009 third quarter when compared to the prior year, primarily volume driven, has resulted in an increase in unutilized capacity. This situation has resulted in our plan to close one of the transportation battery plants in Europe." This initiative among other incremental restructuring activities will result in a 2009 fiscal fourth quarter restructuring charge of $30 million to $40 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months year-to-date was $120.7 million versus $126.3 million for the comparable fiscal 2008 period.
Industrial Energy Segments
Fiscal 2009 third quarter total net sales for the Company's Industrial Energy segments were $299.2 million as compared to $391.9 million in the comparable fiscal 2008 period. This decrease is primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $32.3 million and lead related price reductions of approximately $27 million over the prior year period. Net sales were also impacted by lower overall volumes in both Industrial Energy segments, partially offset by favorable non-lead pricing actions worldwide. Net sales for the nine months year-to-date were $1.04 billion compared to $1.02 billion for the same period of fiscal 2008.
Total Adjusted EBITDA for the Industrial Energy segments in the fiscal 2009 third quarter increased $7.9 million to $37.6 million versus $29.7 million in the fiscal 2008 third quarter. This increase is primarily due to continued improved productivity and effective pricing in all markets partially offset by lower unit volumes. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months year-to-date was $113.6 million versus $63.4 million in the prior year period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of its operational financial performance. This measure is the key indicator of the Company's operational performance and excludes the nonrecurring impact of the Company's current restructuring actions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring charges. Our Adjusted EBITDA definition also adjusts reported earnings for the effect of non-cash currency remeasurement gains or losses, the non-cash gain or loss from revaluation of the Company's warrants liability, impairment charges and non-cash gains or losses on asset sales as well as a specific exclusion for the loss on early extinguishment of debt recorded in the fiscal 2008 first quarter. Please refer to the reconciliations of net loss to EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA below.
The Company calculates Adjusted Earnings Per Share by excluding from net income (loss) per diluted share certain items, such as non-cash tax valuation allowances, reorganization items related to the Company's prior bankruptcy proceedings and the non-cash gain or loss from revaluation of the Company's warrants liability. The Company also excludes the impact of restructuring charges incurred to improve its relative cost position when compared with the competition. Further, non-cash currency remeasurement gains and losses have been excluded as these are the result of financing as opposed to operating decisions. The Company believes that these measures are useful to investors and management because they allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding these nonrecurring items that the Company believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating, the Company's continuing operations. This supplemental presentation should not b e construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income (loss) per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
The Company also defines Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities and cash from investing activities, both as measured in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information about the cash generated by our core operations after capital expenditures and the sale of non-core assets.
All of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to, but not in isolation or as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the Company's measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
