======= ======= ======== ========
Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2005 were relatively
unchanged at $478.5 million from $478.6 million in 2004. Consolidated net sales
year to date 2005 amounted to $1,404.8 million compared to $1,439.8 million in
the same period of 2004. Excluding an increase in sales of $20.5 million for the
quarter and $62.8 million year to date resulting from the effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased $20.6 million versus the same
quarter in the prior year and $97.8 million year to date. The lower sales were
primarily due to lower volumes in the Compressor and Engine & Power Train
segments. Year to date sales declines were also experienced in the Electrical
Components and Pump segments.
Consolidated results for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to net loss of
$32.8 million or $1.77 per share compared to net income of $12.3 million or
$0.67 per share in the third quarter of 2004. Reported results for the third
quarter 2005 included the recognition of valuation allowances against previously
recorded deferred tax assets related to both the United States operations ($18.2
million or $0.99 per share) and the Brazilian Engine & Power Train business
($7.1 million or $0.38 per share) and restructuring and asset impairment charges
of $1.4 million ($1.4 net of tax or $0.08 per share) related to the continuation
of previously announced actions in the Engine & Power Train ($0.4 million),
Compressor ($0.5 million) and Electrical Components ($0.5 million) segments.
Reported results for the third quarter 2004 included restructuring charges of
$2.0 million ($1.3 million net of tax or $0.07 per share) related to the North
American and Indian Compressor business and the Electrical Components business.
Excluding the impairment and restructuring charges, both the Compressor and
Engine & Power Train segments experienced substantial declines in operating
results. Interest expense is also
1
higher versus the comparable quarter and year to date based on higher interest
rates and absence of the interest rate swap benefit received in the prior year.
Consolidated net loss year to date 2005 amounted to $167.7 million or $9.07
per share compared to net income of $23.3 million or $1.26 per share for the
same period in 2004. The year to date loss included $108.0 million goodwill
impairment recognized in the second quarter related to the Electrical Components
business and $1.9 million of other restructuring and impairment charges
recognized in the first half of 2005. Reported results for 2004 through the
first three quarters included restructuring charges of $5.6 million ($3.9
million net of tax or $0.20 per share) related to North American and Indian
compressor operations and the Electrical Components business. Operating results,
excluding impairment and restructuring charges, were lower than the prior year
to date across all business segments, with the most significant declines in the
Compressor and Engine & Power Train segments.
COMPRESSOR BUSINESS
Third quarter 2005 sales in the Company's compressor business decreased to
$218.6 million from $218.9 million in the third quarter of 2004. Compressor
business sales year to date 2005 increased to $707.2 million from $664.9 million
in the same period of 2004. Reported sales for both the quarter and year to date
increased due to the effect of foreign currency translation by $19.5 million and
$58.1 million, respectively. Volume decreases of compressor products that are
utilized in room air conditioners were offset by the effect of foreign currency
to produce flat quarter sales. Year to date volume declines were mostly offset
by the effect of foreign currency on sales. Results in the third quarter
indicate lower total demand in Europe and South America.
Compressor business operating income for the third quarter of 2005 amounted
to $7.6 million compared to $22.5 million in the third quarter of 2004.
Operating income year to date 2005 amounted to $23.6 million compared to $53.7
million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in operating income for the
third quarter and year to date versus the comparable 2004 periods reflected the
effects of a weaker U.S. Dollar and an unfavorable mix of sales. During the
third quarter, the U.S. Dollar was on average 20.3% weaker versus the Brazilian
Real. This impact was somewhat offset by North American operations, where
benefits from the prior year cost reduction efforts resulted in improved
profitability.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BUSINESS
Electrical Components business sales were $103.3 million in the third
quarter of 2005 compared to $102.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. The
$1.2 million increase in sales was primarily attributable to improved pricing on
lower unit volumes. Volumes continued to follow the same trends experienced in
the first half of the year. Year to date 2005 sales amounted to $305.9 million
compared to $314.3 million in the same period of 2004. Volume declines of auto
seat actuators, residential and commercial aftermarket, DC mobile HVAC, blowers
and gear motors accounted for $19.7 million in sales decrease. This was somewhat
offset through pricing increases and volume improvements in other lines.
Electrical Components operating income for the third quarter of 2005
amounted to $4.8 million compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2004.
Segment operating income year to date 2005 was $4.0 million compared to
operating income of $11.2 million for the same period in 2004. The improvement
in operating income for the quarter was primarily the result of lower
amortization of intangible assets and also reflects the benefit of cost
reduction and pricing increases serving to offset lower volumes. The decline in
operating income year to date largely resulted from lower sales volumes, higher
commodity costs in excess of pricing recoveries, and unanticipated operational
inefficiencies related to the closure of the St. Clair facility, partially
offset by lower amortization of intangible assets.
2
ENGINE & POWER TRAIN BUSINESS
Engine & Power Train business sales amounted to $124.2 million in the third
quarter of 2005 compared to $128.6 million in the third quarter of 2004. Sales
year to date 2005 were $297.8 million compared to $356.9 million in the same
period of 2004. The decline in quarter and year to date sales was primarily the
result of the loss of business on walk behind rotary lawn applications and other
reductions in volume. Year to date sales were significantly impacted in the
first quarter by the loss of business at a single customer in the first half of
the year. Additionally, volumes were lower in the transaxle business and in
other engine lines utilized on various utility products.
Engine & Power Train business operating loss in the third quarter of 2005
amounted to $5.2 million compared to operating income of $2.2 million in the
third quarter of 2004. For year to date 2005, the business incurred an operating
loss of $41.6 million compared to an operating loss of $11.2 million in 2004.
The decline in quarter and year to date results reflected losses in volume and
increases in commodity, transportation and tooling costs. Additionally, during
the first quarter, the Company experienced increased warranty response and
expediting costs related to a quality issue at a transmission business customer.
Continued reductions in profitability in Europe also contributed to the increase
in the quarter and year to date loss.
Engine & Power Train losses were substantially due to the significant costs
associated with excess capacities in the U.S. and Europe. The excess capacity
situation was exacerbated by the shift of production to the Company's Brazilian
manufacturing facility resulting in duplicate capacities. The substantial cost
reductions and volume improvements necessary for sustained improvement have been
initiated. The Company engaged AlixPartners during the third quarter of 2005 to
assist in the restructuring plans of the Engine & Power Train business with a
focus on improved profitability and customer service. Since the commencement of
AlixPartners involvement on August 1, 2005, the Company has experienced better
on-time delivery and has made progress with schedule attainment. Furthermore,
Brazilian operations have achieved reliable production levels such that
duplicate capacities can now be eliminated.
PUMP BUSINESS
Pump business sales in the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $31.8 million
compared to $28.5 million in same period in 2004. Volumes were higher versus the
prior year quarter in almost every line of business. Year to date sales amounted
to $92.4 million in 2005 compared to $102.5 million the previous year. The 9.9%
reduction in year to date sales was primarily attributable to the loss of water
gardening business at one mass market retailer.
Operating income amounted to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2005
compared to $3.1 million in the same period in 2004 with the increase due
primarily to better comparative volume. Operating income for year to date 2005
was $10.1 million compared to $11.3 million in 2004. The decrease in year to
date operating income was primarily attributable to the reductions in sales
volumes in the first half of the year somewhat offset by reductions in
engineering and selling and administration costs.
IMPAIRMENTS, RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND OTHER ITEMS
During the third quarter, the Company recognized $1.4 million in
restructuring and asset impairment charges. The $0.4 million related to the
European Engine & Power Train business and the $0.5 million related to the
Compressor business represent ongoing programs. The $0.5 million related to the
Electrical Components segment represented asset impairment charges for idled
equipment.
3
The Company also recognized restructuring costs of $1.9 million in the
first half of 2005. These costs included $0.3 million of facility consolidation
costs in the North American Compressor business and a $0.5 million additional
impairment charge related to the St. Clair, Missouri Electrical Components
facility. The remaining $1.1 million of restructuring costs related to the first
step in the Company's efforts to reduce its excess capacity in the European
Engine & Power Train operations. Included in the Company's plans for this
operation is a workforce reduction of 100 personnel, which is expected to be
completed this year at a cost of $2.5 million.
Year to date 2005 results included an impairment charge of $108.0 million
related to the goodwill associated with the 2002 acquisition of FASCO (which is
included in the Electrical Components segment). As previously disclosed, the
failure to achieve the business plan, coupled with expected future market
conditions, caused the Company to revisit the assumptions utilized to determine
FASCO's estimated fair value in the impairment assessment performed at December
31, 2004. The deterioration of volumes and the Company's inability to recover
higher commodity and transportation costs through price increases resulted in
revised expected cash flows for FASCO. Based on the revised estimates of cash
flow in the second quarter, FASCO's estimated fair value deteriorated from the
previous assessment and, as a result, a goodwill impairment of $108.0 million
was recognized representing approximately half of the goodwill associated with
this segment.
Third quarter 2004 results included a reduction in workforce at one of the
Company's Indian compressor facilities. The action affected approximately 100
employees at the cost of $1.0 million. Year-to-date 2004 results also included
restructuring and impairment charges totaling $4.6 million related to several of
the Company's facilities in its North American Compressor and Electrical
Components businesses.
OUTLOOK
Information in this "Outlook" section should be read in conjunction with
the cautionary language and discussion of risks included below.
The outlook for the remainder of the year is subject to the same variables
that have negatively impacted the Company's year to date results. Commodity
costs and key currency rates, particularly the Brazilian Real, will remain key
factors to any rebound in the final quarter of the year. Recent indicators
provide only slight encouragement as the Company expects the Brazilian Real to
continue to negatively affect its business. The Company has been acting on
variables within its control, such as aggressively executing cost cutting
actions. Global headcounts have been reduced by 2,300 since March 31, 2005, and
the Company has changed retiree and healthcare benefits in the U.S. with an
expected annual benefit of $4.0 million. The Company engaged AlixPartners to
assist in the completion of the Engine & Power Train Group restructuring, where
substantial cost reductions associated with the elimination of duplicate
capacities, are expected to benefit future periods. Despite these efforts, the
Company expects fourth quarter results to lag comparable 2004 results,
particularly due to the Compressor segment. Higher costs, an unfavorable
Brazilian Real, weaker global markets for refrigeration and freezer compressors,
and continued shifts to Asian-based rotary compressors for air conditioning are
all factors. In addition, these factors can be reasonably expected to continue
into 2006.
The Company will continue to focus its efforts on improving the
profitability and competitiveness of its worldwide operations. It is likely that
additional production relocation and consolidation initiatives will take place
during 2005 and 2006 that could have an effect on the consolidated financial
position and future results of operations of the Company.
4
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the first nine months of the year, cash used in operations amounted to
$34.6 million. This represents an improvement of $20.9 million from the first
six months as the Company successfully reduced its investment in working capital
during the third quarter by $4.9 million. The cash generated from operations
during the third quarter was used to fund capital expenditures and losses. Year
to date, the Company used existing cash balances to prepay $50 million of the
Company's Guaranteed Senior Notes, pay dividends, and fund capital expenditures
related to new product expansions in Brazil and India.
The negative results experienced over the last three months of 2004 and
first half of 2005 and recognition of the goodwill impairment charge required
the Company to amend its debt covenants related to both its Senior Guaranteed
Notes and Revolving Credit Facility effective for the quarter ended June 30,
2005. New terms of the agreements provided for security interests in certain of
the Company's assets and specific covenants related to EBITDA and capital
expenditures through December 2006. The covenant related to capital expenditures
required further amendment as of September 30, 2005 in order for the Company to
remain in compliance. In addition, the terms of the agreement permitted the
payment of dividends, presuming continued compliance with these temporary
covenants and subject to minimum levels of EBITDA, beginning with the fourth
quarter of 2005 through the first quarter of 2007. Due to a further
deterioration versus expected results related to factors including the exchange
rate between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. Dollar and the global demand for
refrigeration and freezer compressors, the Company does not currently expect to
pay dividends through this compliance period and elected not to pay a dividend
in the third quarter of 2005 in order to provide cash for internal needs.
The Company continues to monitor its future expected results in
relationship to the financial covenants specified under the terms of the
respective borrowing arrangements, and should the Company fail to comply with
such covenants, further amendments would be required. If the Company fails to
obtain such amendment, the lenders could exercise their rights under the terms
of the agreement. Alternatively, the Company may seek new financing arrangements
which provide greater flexibility than currently afforded under the existing
Senior Guaranteed Notes, in combination with potential sales of assets as part
of its overall business strategies.
