Dorel Reports First Quarter Results

- Home Furnishings posts best quarter in years buoyed by record e-commerce sales - Strong performances in Sports and Juvenile segments offset by foreign currency movement - Integration of Dorel Juvenile China proceeding as planned

May 7, 2015 9:16 AM EDT

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 05/07/15 -- Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B)(TSX: DII.A) today released results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. Total revenue increased 2.7% to US$665.5 million from US$647.7 million a year ago. Net income was US$11.6 million, or US$0.36 per diluted share, compared to US$24.8 million or US$0.77 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014. The net negative impact of foreign exchange on Dorel's first quarter earnings equated to approximately US$0.30 per diluted share.

"As expected, Dorel's first quarter performance was significantly affected by the continued strength of the US dollar and resulted in a net negative impact on earnings in our markets outside of the U.S. where almost half of our revenue is derived. Corporate-wide, foreign exchange reduced operating profit in reported currency by approximately US$12 million. This situation is clearly not unique to Dorel and overshadows a number of first quarter's positive accomplishments," stated Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz.

"The integration of the Lerado facilities, now rebranded as Dorel Juvenile China, is proceeding as planned and is a critical element in creating a cohesive and efficient supply chain across the Juvenile segment. Foreign exchange significantly reduced our earnings in the Sports and Juvenile segments. In Dorel Sports excluding the impact of foreign exchange, that segment grew both its revenue and operating profit. In both Sports and Juvenile, price increases have been implemented in certain markets to mitigate the currency issues. Other markets will see price increases beginning in the second quarter. Dorel Home Furnishings posted its best quarter in several years. We are very pleased with the stability of this segment and its contribution to the Company`s profitability," concluded Mr. Schwartz.

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

Dorel Juvenile revenue increased 2% in the first quarter to US$274.7 million from US$269.2 a year ago. Organic revenue increased approximately 3% year-over-year after removing the effect of the Dorel Juvenile China acquisition and the impact of varying exchange rates. This organic sales growth was principally in Latin America with overall local currency sales growth being over 10%. Dorel Juvenile Brazil recorded its highest sales month ever in March. In the US sales improved, while operating profit lagged behind last year due to costs associated with the recently resolved West Coast port strike.

Operating profit declined by US$10.4 million, approximately 60% of which was due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rates. Translation of results in local currency into the US dollar alone accounted for US$2.2 million, with the rest of the decline owing to higher product costs due to the stronger US dollar. The majority of this negative impact was in Europe. In the quarter, price increases to customers were put in place mainly in Latin America, with other markets to follow in the second quarter. Most of the remaining earnings shortfall in the segment was due to losses at Dorel Juvenile China and the recently created Dorel Juvenile Mexico division and to US$1.1 million of acquisition -related costs associated with the Dorel Juvenile China acquisition.

The loss at Dorel Juvenile China was expected as work has begun to improve operations in the factories. A new local management team was hired and is actively working with segment management to identify and implement process efficiencies, synergies and cost savings opportunities. Initial areas of improvement have been identified and have begun rolling out. The team is focusing on streamlining operations, leveraging our spend, enhancing product quality and rationalizing the overhead structure. The results of these initiatives will be seen in the second half of the year as these programs are cascaded throughout the organization.

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

First quarter Dorel Sports revenue decreased by US$11.4 million, or 4.8% to US$228.9 million compared to last year's US$240.3 million. Organic revenue increased by approximately 3% after removing the impact of varying foreign exchange rates. Organic growth at Cannondale Sports Group (CSG) led the segment with particularly strong sales at independent bike dealers (IBD) in Europe and Japan. Caloi also delivered solid organic growth due to the increased demand of its opening price point products as well as the ongoing popularity of Cannondale, Schwinn, Mongoose and GT in the Brazilian market. The success overseas was tempered by the U.S., where there has been a softer start to the year. January was slow, but sales improved throughout the quarter with March back on plan. This trend has continued into April.

Operating profit for the quarter was US$11.6 million versus US$16.3 million in the prior year, with the net negative impact of exchange rate fluctuations accounting for approximately US$7 million in lower earnings. Excluding this impact of foreign exchange, operating profit for the quarter would have increased by approximately 12%. As in Juvenile, price increases have been implemented on a selective basis to mitigate the currency issues. In Brazil, Caloi has successfully implemented increases and has announced more to go into effect in the second quarter.

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

Home Furnishings had an excellent quarter with revenues increasing 17.2% to US$161.9 million from US$138.1 million in the prior year. Operating profit increased by 18.3% to US$9.6 million. E-commerce sales and related drop-ship vendor programs continued to grow and accounted for over 30% of total segment revenues. Sales to brick and mortar stores also increased compared with the previous year. The growth came from sales of mattresses, beds and upholstered furniture. In the quarter the segment benefitted from increased listings at retailers with strong sell through on many items. All divisions posted improved operating profit with the exception of Cosco Home & Office due to product mix sold.

Other

A non-cash gain of US$0.4 million and an expense of US$4.0 million are included in 2015 and 2014 first quarters' finance expenses, respectively. These amounts are related to the remeasurement of the forward purchase agreement liabilities with regards to certain past business acquisitions. The diluted per share impact is positive US$0.01 and negative US$0.13 for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The 2015 first quarter reported tax rate was 24.3% versus 16.8% last year. For the full year the annual tax rate is expected to be between 15% and 20%.

Quarterly dividend

Dorel's Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly dividend of US$0.30 per share on the outstanding number of the Company's Class A Multiple Voting Shares, Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, Deferred Share Units and cash-settled Performance Share Units. The dividend is payable on June 4, 2015 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on May 21, 2015.

Outlook

"As expected, the negative impact of the increased value of the US dollar against practically all of our local currencies severely depressed earnings in the first quarter of 2015. Although rates have stabilized somewhat over the past month or so, we have not seen any of the currencies in our markets significantly increase in value. As such, we expect the lower earnings in our Juvenile and Sports segments to continue into the second quarter. Now that the currencies have stabilized, price increases have been determined and implemented where relevant. We anticipate this will benefit the second quarter, but the significant benefit will be in the second half," stated Martin Schwartz, Dorel President & CEO.

"In Juvenile our U.S. business will show improved earnings for the balance of the year, but it will not be enough to offset the segment's overall currency challenges. Our European business has lost several margin points to exchange. We will continue to invest in the business as we work through this period, but results for the full year will not match those of 2014. In Latin America our teams have successfully overcome higher material costs due to exchange and we remain confident they will exceed prior year earnings. Our integration of Dorel Juvenile China is on-going and will likely decrease earnings over the course of the next two quarters."

"At Dorel Sports the second quarter should again organically beat sales and earnings compared to the same period last year, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. As stated in our year-end release, we believe the second half will be strong, and will exceed the first half. Significant new product introductions should generate incremental volume and revised pricing will boost earnings.

"In Home Furnishings the positive momentum of the first quarter is expected to continue throughout the year", concluded Mr. Schwartz.
