Harsco Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2006 Results From Continuing Operations
* Full-year diluted EPS from continuing operations up 25 percent to a record $4.65 * Full-year sales reach a record $3.42 billion, up 24 percent * 2006 cash flow from operations a record $409 million, up 30 percent * Fourth quarter diluted EPS from continuing operations total $1.24, compared with $1.23 in the fourth quarter last year, which included a one-time tax benefit of $0.15 * Fourth quarter EPS results exceed analyst consensus estimate by $0.15 * Fourth quarter sales up 25 percent to a record $912 million * Planned sale of Company's Gas Technologies Segment is not expected to be dilutive to 2007 earnings from continuing operations; will be offset by growth initiatives and strong markets
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Worldwide industrial services and products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) today reported record full-year 2006 results from continuing operations together with stronger than expected fourth quarter results that exceeded analysts' consensus estimate.
Fourth quarter 2006 diluted EPS from continuing operations were a record $1.24, compared with $1.23 in the fourth quarter last year. Fourth quarter income from continuing operations was $52.4 million, also a record, compared with $51.9 million last year. Last year's fourth quarter included one-time tax benefits of $6.3 million or $0.15 per share. Fourth quarter 2006 sales totaled a record $912 million, up 25 percent from sales of $733 million in the same period last year. Foreign currency translation increased sales by $30 million and pre-tax income by $1.6 million in this year's fourth quarter.
For the full year 2006, income from continuing operations was $196.5 million, or $4.65 per diluted share, both records, compared with income from continuing operations of $156.8 million, or $3.73 per diluted share in 2005. This reflects a 25 percent increase in both income and diluted EPS. Sales for the full year 2006 reached a record $3.42 billion, an increase of 24 percent from last year's sales of $2.77 billion. Positive foreign currency translation contributed approximately $35 million to sales in 2006 and approximately $2.4 million to pre-tax income. Income from discontinued operations in 2006 was immaterial.
Commenting on the Company's results, Harsco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Derek C. Hathaway said, "Solid internal growth coupled with value-creating acquisitions has resulted in another year of excellent performance for Harsco. This growth continues to be led by our Mill Services and Access Services operations, both of which had an outstanding year driven by top-line growth and internal cost control initiatives. Also contributing to growth was another year of solid performance from our Engineered Products and Services group of companies.
"We accomplished much in the way of strategic initiatives in 2006. We successfully integrated our two larger acquisitions made at the end of the prior year, Huennebeck Group and the Northern Hemisphere steel mill services operations of Brambles Industrial Services, as well as several smaller companies purchased in 2006. Our continuing cost reduction initiatives resulted in another year of margin improvement. We also made further progress in our efforts to improve the operating performance of our Gas Technologies Segment. Lastly, our strong operating performance once again allowed us to raise our dividend, our thirteenth consecutive year of rewarding Harsco stockholders in such a manner.
"Since the start of this year, we have already announced several significant events which we believe will result in further meaningful increases in stockholder value. Earlier this month, we reached an agreement to purchase Excell Materials, a high-growth, market-leading company in the emerging minerals industry. We expect to close this transaction in the first quarter of this year following the receipt of normal regulatory approvals. We have also made the decision to divest our Gas Technologies business. For some time we have been focused on a strategy of growing our industrial services businesses on a global basis. By selling Gas Technologies, we will be better positioned to accelerate this effort. Given the confidence we have in our future growth, Harsco's Board of Directors also approved a two-for-one stock split, an action which should enhance our trading liquidity and make Harsco shares even more attractive to a broader range of the investment market.
"Repeating what I said at our annual investors conference in New York last month, we remain increasingly enthusiastic about Harsco's global growth prospects. The transition journey that we began several years ago to reshape Harsco as an international provider of industrial services on a global basis is securely in place. The consistency of our year-over-year progress is a reflection of this, demonstrating a balance of strong organic growth on a worldwide basis and the additional contributions of our highly focused global acquisition program. Our expanding geographic footprint, now 45 countries strong, gives us an unprecedented degree of operating balance and our substantial cash flows enable us to meet the needs of our ongoing activities in parallel with a vigorous pursuit of growth."
Outlook
Having completed another successful year in 2006, the Company continues to be confident of further earnings growth in 2007. Harsco President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Sal Fazzolari, said, "Given the positive outlook for the Company's global markets in 2007, the new projects that are expected to come on stream in 2007, and the accretive results expected from our recently announced plans to acquire Excell Materials, the Company is reaffirming its full year guidance for EPS from continuing operations in the range of $5.05 to $5.15.
"These growth initiatives, including the acquisition of Excell, are expected to replace the earnings of Gas Technologies under continuing operations and thus, the Company does not expect any earnings dilution from the sale of the Gas Technologies business," Mr. Fazzolari continued. Beginning with the first quarter of 2007, Gas Technologies Segment results will be reported under discontinued operations and are not included in the aforementioned guidance from continuing operations. Therefore, the results from Gas Technologies will be reported separately under discontinued operations on the income statement and are excluded from continuing operations.
For the first quarter of 2007, the Company is forecasting earnings from continuing operations in the range of $0.81 to $0.85 per share, compared with an estimated $0.77 per share from continuing operations (excluding Gas Technologies) in the first quarter of 2006.
Fourth Quarter Business Review
Mill Services
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased by 32 percent to $350 million from $266 million in last year's fourth quarter. Organic sales growth contributed $16 million, or approximately 6 percent; the December 29, 2005 purchase of the Brambles Northern Hemisphere steel mill services operations and other smaller acquisitions contributed $55 million, or 21 percent; and positive foreign currency translation contributed $13 million, or approximately 5 percent. Fourth quarter operating income increased by 47 percent to $38.3 million, up from $26.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Foreign currency translation contributed $1.1 million to operating income in the quarter. Operating margins increased by approximately 120 basis points to 11.0 percent from 9.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. However, last year's fourth quarter included a $3.4 million pre-tax reorganization expense. Without this expense last year, operating income in this year's fourth quarter would be up 30 percent, with a comparable 11 percent operating margin.
The continued excellent year-over-year results for the fourth quarter are a result of the Company's ongoing cost reduction program, the success of its strategic bolt-on acquisitions, and its strong global balance in providing value-adding services to the steel and metals industries.
Both the near-term and long-term outlooks for this segment remain favorable. Global steel production is once again projected to grow in 2007; the Company expects to continue to gain market share from new contract signings; the Company's ongoing cost reduction program is expected to continue to make a positive contribution to operating results; and the announced acquisition of Excell Materials is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings following its anticipated closing later this quarter.
Access Services
Fourth quarter 2006 sales increased 51 percent to $307 million from $203 million last year. Organic sales growth contributed $27 million, or approximately 13 percent; the net effect of the November 21, 2005 acquisition of Huennebeck Group, the July 20, 2006 acquisition of Cleton Industrial Services in Holland and the November 17, 2006 acquisition of MyATH in Chile contributed $62 million, or 31 percent; and positive foreign currency translation contributed $15 million, or approximately 7 percent. Operating income increased by 35 percent to $31.5 million in the fourth quarter, up from $23.3 million in the comparable period last year. Positive foreign currency translation increased operating income by approximately $1.2 million in this year's fourth quarter. Operating margins decreased by approximately 110 basis points to 10.3 percent from 11.4 percent in the fourth quarter of last year. However, last year's fourth quarter included a $3.6 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the Company's U.K.-based Youngman manufacturing business. Without this gain in last year's fourth quarter, 2006 operating income would have been up 60 percent and operating margins of 10.3 percent would have been 60 basis points higher than last year.
Continued strength in both the U.S. and international non-residential construction and industrial maintenance markets, particularly in Canada and Europe, led to increased volumes in the quarter. Market acceptance of newer, more efficient rental and sale products and increased investment in rental equipment also contributed to this quarter's improved performance.
The outlook for the Company's end markets in the Access Services Segment remains positive going into 2007. Industry sources continue to predict further growth in non-residential construction and industrial maintenance in North America, Europe, and other key markets. The Company's late 2006 acquisition of MyATH in Chile expands its Access Services footprint into the Latin America region. Further market share expansion and gains are expected in the future for the Access Services Segment.
Engineered Products and Services ("All Other")
Sales of $147 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 were 10 percent lower than the $164 million in the same period last year. Operating income decreased 31 percent to $14.8 million, from $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Operating margins declined by 310 basis points to 10.0 percent, compared with 13.1 percent for the same period last year. Foreign currency translation increased sales by $1.1 million in the quarter and operating income by $0.5 million.
As expected, fourth quarter performance was negatively affected by increased commodity costs, particularly steel, at Harsco Track Technologies and IKG. Also, as expected, the timing of certain revenue streams were more level throughout the year in 2006 compared with 2005, when IKG benefited in the fourth quarter from a spike in activity due to Hurricane Katrina rebuild activity, and Harsco Track Technologies benefited from the timing of unit deliveries.
The longer-term outlook for this business group continues to be positive. Bidding activity at Harsco Track Technologies continues to be strong on a global basis, driven by economic growth and heavy freight and passenger traffic demands which support increased domestic and international railway track maintenance and construction spending. Longer-term energy needs are expected to continue to be favorable for the Company's Air-X-Changers, IKG, and to a lesser extent Patterson-Kelley operations. Reed Minerals is expected to continue to benefit from its market-leading colored roofing granules business and increased requirements for its abrasives product line from domestic infrastructure repair and maintenance needs.
Gas Technologies
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 were up 8 percent to $108 million from $100 million last year. Operating income of $8.4 million was up 19 percent from last year's $7.0 million. Operating margins were 7.7 percent compared with 7.0 percent in the fourth quarter of last year. Foreign currency translation decreased operating income by $0.6 million in the quarter.
Strength in the quarter was led by improved performance from this segment's valve and cryogenics product lines. Overall results were also better despite the negative effect of higher commodity costs in the quarter.
As previously stated, the Company has announced its intention to divest the Gas Technologies Segment. The Company anticipates that this transaction could take until the third quarter of 2007 to complete.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters
Net cash provided by operating activities for the full year 2006 was a record $409 million, up 30 percent from the prior year. Cash used by investing activities was $359 million, down from $645 million in the prior year, due to two large acquisitions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company's debt-to-capital ratio decreased to 48.1 percent in 2006, down 230 basis points from the 50.4 percent at the end of the prior year.
The Company achieved its highest level of Economic Value Added (EVA(r)) improvement in 2006 since its adoption of a formal EVA program at the end of 2001. All four of the Company's operating groups recorded EVA improvement over the prior year. Three of these groups, Mill Services, Access Services and Engineered Products and Services, finished 2006 with their highest level of EVA since the program began.
