Wednesday, September 30, 2009 7:53 AM


(Source: Business Wire)trackingActuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announced sales and earnings for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2009.

4th Quarter Highlights

Strong cash flow from operations, totaling approximately $49 million in the quarter and $147 million for the full year.

Continued solid execution on restructuring initiatives which will generate permanent reductions to Actuant's cost structure.

Year-over-year core sales rate of change stabilization in three of the four segments.

Sequential EBITDA margin improvement from the third quarter (excluding restructuring charges) in three of the four segments.

Substantially improved net debt position during the fourth quarter, reflecting over $200 million of repayment with $125 million of net proceeds from the Company's June equity offering, $38 million of net proceeds from business divestitures and strong fourth quarter cash flow.

Robert C. Arzbaecher, Chairman and CEO of Actuant commented, "We are pleased to have finished out this challenging fiscal year with strong cash flow, stabilization in the majority of our businesses and continued solid execution on our restructuring actions. Our sales, earnings and earnings per share, adjusted for special items and the equity offering, were in line with our expectations as benefits from cost reduction and restructuring activities were realized.

In addition to cost structure improvements, I am encouraged by Actuant's continued strong working capital management and cash flow generation. Despite terrible economic conditions over the past year, Actuant generated $147 million in operating cash flow in fiscal 2009. We have used this economic crisis as a catalyst for driving our operations to new performance levels which resulted in significant operating and working capital improvements across our businesses globally. I want to thank our leadership team and all employees for capturing and institutionalizing these improvements."

Consolidated Results

During the fourth quarter, the Company divested Acme Aerospace and BH Electronics. The results of operations for these two businesses, as well as the aggregate net gain on disposition are reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Operating results for all prior periods have been reclassified for comparability.

Consolidated sales for the fourth quarter declined 26% to $290 million compared to $393 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Excluding the impact of foreign currency rate changes (-4%) and acquisitions (+5%), core sales (sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency rate changes) declined 27%. Net earnings and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter were $16.5 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to net earnings of $34.2 million and EPS of $0.54 in the comparable prior year quarter. Earnings and EPS from continuing operations were $4.5 million and $0.07, respectively, compared to $33.6 million and $0.53 for the comparable prior year period. Results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2009 included a $2.1 million ($0.02 per diluted share) pre-tax non-cash debt extinguishment charge following the equity offering as well as pre-tax restructuring charges of $9.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Excluding these items, EPS from continuing operations was $0.18 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $0.53 in the prior year's quarter. (See attached reconciliation of earnings).

Sales for the year ended August 31, 2009 were $1,240 million, 23% lower than the $1,613 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the stronger US dollar (-4%) and sales from acquired businesses (+4%), year-to-date core sales decreased 23%. Net earnings for the year ended August 31, 2009 were $13.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to fiscal 2008 net earnings of $122.5 million, or $1.93 per diluted share.

(1) Results for the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2009 exclude restructuring charges of $2.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2009 Industrial segment sales decreased 37% to $62 million. Excluding foreign currency rate changes (-2%), Industrial segment core sales were 35% lower than the comparable prior year period; however, they were approximately level with the third fiscal quarter. The year-over-year sales decline was broad based across the diverse end markets and geographic regions served by this segment. The segment's core sales rate of change stabilized since May 2009. Fourth quarter operating profit margin (excluding restructuring costs) was 22.2%, below the comparable prior year quarter due to lower sales and production as well as unfavorable sales mix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Results for the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2009 exclude restructuring charges of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2009 fourth quarter Energy segment sales grew 5% to $64 million. Acquisitions contributed 25% to sales while the stronger US dollar reduced sales by 9%. Core sales declined 11% due to lower capital project based revenue. While the Company saw certain of its customers defer or reduce maintenance at some oil & gas installations, this important source of Energy segment revenue held up better than exploration or new commissioning related business. Operating profit margin (excluding restructuring costs) declined year-over-year reflecting unfavorable acquisition mix and the lower volumes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) Results for the three months ended August 31, 2009 exclude restructuring charges of $3.0 million. Results for the twelve months ended August 31, 2009 exclude a $4.8 million pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charge and $9.8 million of restructuring charges. Results for the twelve months ended August 31, 2008 exclude restructuring charges of $10.5 million.

Electrical segment fiscal 2009 fourth quarter sales declined 22% to $88 million. The stronger US dollar contributed 3% to the sales decline. Core sales decreased 19% from the prior year reflecting continued weak demand. However, the core revenue year-over-year rate of change improved sequentially from -30% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to -19% in the fourth quarter. Sales trends to both the marine aftermarket and DIY channel improved sequentially during the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter operating profit margin (excluding restructuring costs) increased to 4.8%, a 30 basis point improvement from the prior year and 110 basis points sequentially. The increase primarily reflects cost reduction benefits and improved product sales mix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) Results for the three months ended August 31, 2009 exclude restructuring charges of $3.0 million. Results for the twelve months ended August 31, 2009 exclude a $26.6 million pre-tax non-cash RV asset impairment charge and $8.3 million of restructuring charges.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2009 Engineered Solutions segment sales declined 37% (-37% core, -3% currency translation and +3% acquisitions) reflecting significantly reduced demand from truck and specialty vehicle end markets. While automotive revenues increased sequentially due to new program launches, major global truck OEM's continued to reduce their inventory levels by producing fewer trucks than they sold. Fourth quarter operating margins (excluding restructuring) continue to be negatively impacted by the significant reduction in sales, unfavorable product line sales mix and lower manufacturing overhead absorption.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, excluding restructuring charges of approximately $0.2 million, were $5.0 million compared to $8.5 million in the comparable prior year quarter primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense, salary and headcount reductions and reduced discretionary spending.

Financial Position

Net debt at August 31, 2009 was $394 million (total debt of $405 million less $11 million of cash). The Company completed a follow-on equity offering during the quarter, issuing 10.925 million shares for net proceeds of approximately $125 million which were used to reduce indebtedness. In addition, the aforementioned business divestitures generated net proceeds of $38 million, also used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The combination of these items, as well as robust fourth quarter operating cash flow, had a significant impact on the Company's capitalization with $200 million of net debt reduction since May 31, 2009. As of August 31, 2009, the Company had over $350 million of unused revolver capacity.

Outlook

Arzbaecher continued, "We begin the new fiscal year with both opportunities and challenges facing Actuant. While the rate of change in sales has stabilized in most of our end markets, we still have difficult year-over-year comparisons ahead of us, most pronounced in the first two fiscal quarters of 2010. Visibility in our later cycle Energy segment remains challenging as the number of capital projects industry-wide has declined steadily over the past six months. However, with customer inventory destocking moderating and the global economic slowdown approaching its anniversary, our sequential and year-over-year revenues are expected to improve in the second half of fiscal 2010. We also will be realizing additional benefits of restructuring activities in the second half of the fiscal year as most current projects reach completion by mid-year. As we experienced this past year, the biggest variable in our fiscal 2010 results will be the general economy and its impact on revenue. We have assumed an overall fiscal 2010 core sales decline of 3%-8%, driven by continued difficult comparisons in the first half of the fiscal year partially offset by improvements in the second half. Our revenue guidance for fiscal 2010 is $1.15-$1.25 billion. We anticipate diluted EPS for the full year, excluding restructuring costs, to be in the $0.70-$0.95 range. Full year free cash flow is expected to be in the $90-$100 million range, which would result in free cash flow conversion well in excess of 100%. We continue to pursue accretive acquisition opportunities which, when executed, will be incremental to this guidance. Our first quarter fiscal 2010 guidance reflects expected sequential stability with sales in the $280-$300 million range and EPS in the range of $0.12-$0.17 (excluding restructuring charges)."

Concluded Arzbaecher, "We are optimistic that over the next twelve months we will begin to see improved business and consumer confidence levels which will benefit Actuant and the broader economy. I continue to be very confident in Actuant's long-term organic and acquisition driven growth prospects. With our strong cash flow and borrowing capacity, we are well positioned to finance these growth opportunities. The fundamentals for our growth strategies are in place, and our people, at all levels, are dedicated and driven to realizing those opportunities."
