AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2010 that ended on September 30, 2009. Current quarter results include the Company's Pfaff-silberblau (Pfaff) business which was acquired on October 1, 2008.
Second quarter highlights
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were $115.2 million, including $17.9 million from the Pfaff business, down $39.4 million, or 25.5%, from the same period in the prior year, and down 37.0% excluding the Pfaff business. Continued weakness in the global economy, combined with the tendency for the Company's bookings to lag general capacity utilization trends by one to two quarters, caused the significant decline in revenue. U.S. industrial capacity utilization, which the Company uses as a leading market indicator, was 67.8% in September 2009, up slightly from 65.2% in June 2009, but down from 72.4% in September 2008. Pricing helped to offset the impacts of foreign currency translation which negatively impacted sales by approximately $1.4 million.
The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $10.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Restructuring charges of $2.7 million, associated with the previously announced consolidation of the Company's North American hoist and rigging manufacturing operations, were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Additionally, $0.5 million of restructuring-related costs were incurred, but do not qualify for the technical GAAP restructuring classification. Finally, the Company recorded a $2.9 million provision for an unusually large and atypical product liability claim, up to its maximum self-insurance obligation.
Management believes that segregating those special charges and applying an effective tax rate that would be more relevant to the ongoing operations without such charges is informative in understanding the performance of the ongoing operations. Accordingly, on a non-GAAP basis excluding the special charges described above and applying a 38% U.S. tax rate to them, as well as applying a normalized consolidated effective tax rate of 36% to the remaining operations, second quarter 2010 net income was $2.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $9.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, excluding special charges and gains in the same period last year, summarized on the following table.

Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Sales volume continues to be heavily impacted by the global economy, although we began seeing stabilization in orders as we moved through the second quarter and passed the traditionally softer summer season. The improvement during the quarter in industrial capacity utilization was encouraging, and we also believe that our distributors have worked through their excess inventories. However, since we tend to lag the general economic cycle by approximately six months, we could realize strengthening in orders as we move into fiscal 2011 if the positive indicators continue. We also continue to remind investors that our December-ending third quarter has typically been our weakest quarter of the year. And, while historically our fourth quarter has been the strongest quarter, the lag in recovery we tend to realize may skew that quarter's results as well."
"Despite the economy, we are pursuing a long-term strategy that we believe will ultimately expand our position as a world leader in lifting, positioning and securing material handling equipment. We have solid market leadership in North America, an expanding presence in Europe and are extending our breadth and depth in Asia, South America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. At the beginning of this past quarter, we also launched a more integrated sales approach with our field sales force in North America enabling them to represent all of our product lines while concurrently developing a deeper reach into specific vertical market sectors to create greater end-user demand."
Continued Weakness in Global Industrial Economy Severely Impacts Volume
The fluctuation in sales compared with last year's quarter is summarized as follows, in millions:
Decreased volume $ (59.6 ) (38.5 %) Additional shipping day 2.4 1.6 % Improved pricing 1.3 0.8 % Pfaff-silberblau acquisition 17.9 11.5 % Foreign currency translation (1.4 ) (0.9 %) Total $ (39.4 ) (25.5 %)
International sales, which included $17.9 million associated with the Pfaff acquisition, were $47.7 million, or 41% of total net sales, down $2.6 million, or approximately 5.2%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Aggressive Cost Saving Efforts Help to Offset Volume Decline
Gross profit was $28.1 million, or 24.3% of sales, for the fiscal 2010 second quarter compared with $45.6 million, or 29.5% of sales, in last year's second quarter reflecting the effects of significantly lower volume in all markets combined with the following:
-- Non-GAAP restructuring-related expenses, primarily relating to inventory
relocation: $0.5 million
-- Product liability reserves associated with a particular claim at the
self-insurance maximum: $2.9 million
The inventory relocation costs were associated with North American facility consolidation activities. The product liability charges were related to a tire shredder accident.
Selling expenses were $15.6 million, down 9.1%, or $1.6 million, when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This reduction reflects aggressive efforts to reduce or eliminate costs, as well as lower commissions on lower sales volume which more than offset the addition of expenses associated with the Pfaff business and continued investments in emerging markets. Additionally, foreign currency translation had a $0.3 million favorable impact on selling expenses. As a percent of revenue, selling expenses were 13.5% on measurably lower sales, compared with 11.1% in the same period last year.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, down 7.6%, from the previous fiscal year's second quarter, as additional expenses associated with the Pfaff business and continued investment in new product development were more than offset by benefits from aggressive cost reduction activities. Additionally, foreign currency translation had a $0.1 million favorable impact on G&A expense. As a percent of revenue, G&A expenses were 7.6% for this year's second quarter, compared with 6.1% for the same period last year, due to the decline in revenue.
Restructuring charges, primarily for severance costs and equipment write-offs associated with the previously described consolidation of the Company's North American hoist and rigging manufacturing operations, were $2.7 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter. The Company expects restructuring charges for the remainder of the fiscal year to be in the range of $4.5 million to $5.5 million, with approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million of that being non-cash charges.
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.5 million. Excluding restructuring charges in both years' quarters, non-GAAP restructuring-related costs and an unusually large reserve for a product liability claim, all as previously quantified, non-GAAP operating income for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $6.7 million compared with $18.9 million in the same period of the prior year. The related non-GAAP operating margin was 5.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with 12.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, negatively impacted by the lower global sales volume and the inclusion of lower Pfaff margins.
Mr. Tevens commented, "We are on track with the consolidation of two operating facilities and down-sizing of a third facility to reduce our manufacturing footprint by approximately 500,000 square feet, or 25%, without reducing production capacity from previous levels. We expect the estimated $9 to $11 million in annualized savings from this effort to begin to be realized in the second half of this fiscal year, but be more fully visible in 2011. We're already realizing the additional $7 to $8 million of annualized savings from the actions undertaken during the first quarter of this fiscal year, although those savings have been masked somewhat by the special charges recognized during this quarter as previously described. As volume returns, the incremental leverage from these cost improvement efforts should be readily apparent in our profit margins."
Interest and debt expense increased 8.8% to $3.4 million in this year's second quarter due primarily to interest related to the debt assumed upon the acquisition of Pfaff.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was not meaningful compared with 35.9% for the prior year's quarter. This year's quarter was impacted by the mix of income or loss among taxing jurisdictions, specifically U.S. versus foreign jurisdictions and the impact of state taxes in the U.S. Excluding the special charges previously described, the Company expects the rate to be in the 36% to 37% range for fiscal 2010.
Working capital as a percentage of sales was 18.9% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with 19.4% at the end of last fiscal year's second quarter. Actual working capital decreased sequentially $15.6 million, or 13% in the quarter, and $18.1 million or 15% compared with last year's second quarter, which was prior to the Pfaff acquisition.
Solid balance sheet; excellent liquidity and financial flexibility
Debt, net of cash, at September 30, 2009 was $80.3 million, or 29.9% of total capitalization, compared with $98.7 million, or 35.2% of total capitalization, at March 31, 2009, consistent with the Company's long-term goal of 30% with flexibility to expand to 50% to accommodate acquisitions. Gross debt at the end of this year's second quarter was $134.7 million, or 41.7% of total capitalization, compared with 43.1% of total capitalization at March 31, 2009. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $54.3 million of cash on hand. Availability on its $75 million line of credit was $68.2 million, with $6.8 million used for outstanding letters of credit. The Company is in full compliance with the financial covenants under its credit agreement.
Cash provided by continuing operations in the first half of fiscal 2010 was $23.9 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with $31.2 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, during the first half of fiscal 2009. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, cash provided by operations was $19.1 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. Columbus McKinnon continues to generate cash despite significant declines in revenue and ongoing spending on restructuring activities.
Capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal 2010 were $4.0 million compared with $5.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. In general, capital spending, while being carefully monitored, is focused on new product development and some additional capital for the facility consolidation projects we have underway. Accordingly, the Company anticipates capital spending for fiscal 2010 will be approximately $8 million to $9 million.
Mr. Tevens noted, "Our ability to generate cash throughout the recession reflects not only the early effects of our current cost-reduction program, but also past efficiency improvements we implemented in recent years in anticipation of future cyclical downturns. Our strong cash flow enables us to continue to invest in the business to drive future growth."
First half fiscal 2010 review
Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2010 were $234.2 million, including $35.5 million from the Pfaff business, down 23.4%, or $71.6 million, compared with the first half of fiscal 2009 and down 35.0% excluding the Pfaff acquisition. Gross profit margin was 24.5% compared with 30.8% for the fiscal 2009 period. The decline was primarily due to lower volumes and lower margins currently experienced in the acquired Pfaff business as well as the non-GAAP restructuring-related costs and unusually large product liability claim previously noted.
Selling expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 9.3%, compared with last year due primarily to the steps taken to reduce selling costs along with lower commissions on reduced volume, offset by the addition of the Pfaff business. G&A expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 11.1%, primarily due to the Company's aggressive cost reduction measures offset by the addition of the Pfaff business. Favorable foreign currency translation was approximately $1.1 million and $0.4 million of the selling and G&A expense decreases, respectively. As a percent of sales, selling and G&A expenses were 21.0% during the first half of fiscal 2010 compared with 17.9% during the first half of fiscal 2009. The Company expects selling and G&A expenses to approximate 20.5% to 21.5% of revenue for fiscal 2010.
Operating loss for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $1.2 million, or 0.5% of sales, compared with operating income of $39.2 million, or 12.8% of sales, in the first half of fiscal 2009. Restructuring charges in the first half of fiscal 2010 were $8.5 million. Interest and debt expense in the first half of fiscal 2010 was up $0.4 million, or 6.6%, reflecting the Pfaff acquisition.
Net loss for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $5.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $20.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, during the first half of fiscal 2009. Excluding special charges or gains in both periods, as well as normalizing the fiscal 2010 effective tax rate to 36%, the non-GAAP net income per share for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $0.16 compared with $1.12 for the first half of fiscal 2009, summarized on the following table:

Outlook
Backlog was $69.7 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010, relatively consistent with $68.6 million at the end of the first quarter, while backlog at the end of last year's second quarter was $63.8 million. Backlog for the Company's Pfaff business was $27.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 which more than offset declines in the Company's other businesses. The time to convert the majority of backlog to sales averages from one day to a few weeks, and backlog normally represents four to five weeks of shipments.
Mr. Tevens concluded, "In addition to the quarter-to-quarter stability in backlog, we saw some sequential improvement in orders during August, September and thus far in October which may indicate the beginnings of a slight recovery. However, given the severity of this global recession, it is unlikely we will be able to achieve our goal of outperforming operating margins as compared with the last trough in fiscal 2003. The integration of Pfaff is proceeding on schedule and, combined with the effects of our reorganization and consolidation, we are well positioned to capitalize on the upturn in the global industrial economy when it occurs. In the meantime, we are focused on generating cash, controlling costs, building global market share and new product development."
