Kaydon Corporation Reports First Quarter 2011 Results

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) today announced its results for the first fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2011.

Consolidated Results

Sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 were $108.3 million, compared to sales of $119.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Strong industrial sales, driven by still improving global capital expenditure and capacity utilization trends, largely offset the expected decline in wind energy sales and the absence of a key military sales program that benefited 2010.

Operating income was $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $19.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. The first quarter of 2011 included $1.5 million of net costs associated with a previously announced manufacturing consolidation program and due diligence efforts for acquisitions. Adjusting for these items, operating income was $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.

EBITDA was $24.2 million, or 22.3 percent of sales, during the first quarter of 2011, compared to $27.1 million, or 22.7 percent of sales, during the first quarter of 2010. EBITDA results for 2011 were also affected by the items noted above. Adjusting for these items, EBITDA was $25.8 million, or 23.8 percent of sales, in the first quarter of 2011.

Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $12.0 million, compared to net income of $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share was $.36 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to diluted earnings per share of $.41 in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the items noted above, net income was $13.0 million, or $.40 per share on a diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2010 net income totaled $13.8 million, or $.41 per share on a diluted basis, and included a net benefit of $0.5 million, or $.01 per share on a diluted basis, for certain tax items including a qualifying advanced energy investment tax credit of $1.4 million partly offset by adjustments to deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 31.8 percent compared to 29.6 percent for the 2010 first quarter, which included the effect of the tax items noted above.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, free cash flow, and as adjusted operating income, EBITDA, net income, and earnings per share – diluted. Readers should refer to the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures exhibit for the reconciliations of the applicable GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures presented.

Management Commentary

James O’Leary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented “In our first quarter of 2011, we delivered results that were consistent with a still strengthening industrial economy. Our industrial end markets performed extremely well, offsetting much of the expected slowdown in both military and wind shipments. Going forward, we are selectively reallocating capacity servicing the wind energy market to take advantage of opportunities in an improving heavy equipment market. Longer term, we remain confident that the wind market will be an important contributor but, at the present, growth expectations remain muted by the absence of a national renewable electricity standard. In the intervening period, the selective reallocation of capacity, proactive management of variable costs, and continued strength within our broad industrial platform will enhance growth as the year progresses.

“Sales to our industrial end markets increased almost 20 percent in the first quarter of 2011 and orders increased more than 29 percent over the 2010 first quarter. This quarter saw the highest industrial order intake in Kaydon’s history as most of our shorter lead time businesses experienced continued strength. The increased order intake and quotation activity, notably from traditionally later cycle end markets such as industrial machinery and heavy equipment, supports our expectation of continued improvements in shipments as the year progresses. Also, the ability to selectively reallocate capacity to a heavy equipment market benefiting from increasingly positive global trends will help offset the weak wind comparisons going forward.”

Segment Results and Review

Friction Control Products sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $60.9 million, compared to $79.8 million in the 2010 first quarter. The decline was attributable to the decline in wind energy and military sales. Wind energy sales were $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $29.3 million in the first quarter of 2010. First quarter 2011 sales to non-wind markets totaled $48.7 million compared to $50.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, as increased sales to industrial markets were offset by the anticipated wind down of a major military program that significantly impacted last year. Both wind and military comparisons are expected to become less challenging as the year progresses.

First quarter 2011 Friction Control Products operating income totaled $9.9 million, compared to $16.5 million in the prior first quarter. The decline in operating income was largely attributable to the decline in wind energy and military sales. First quarter 2011 also included $1.1 million in costs associated with a previously discussed manufacturing consolidation program which is now nearly complete.

Velocity Control Products sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $19.6 million, compared to $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Operating income for this segment totaled $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $3.4 million earned in the 2010 first quarter, due to improved sales.

Other Industrial Products sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $27.8 million, compared to $25.2 million in the 2010 first quarter. Operating income equaled $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to operating income of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, due to improved sales.

Order Activity

Orders were $110.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $100.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Orders in the first quarter of 2011 included approximately $8 million of wind cancellations for an older generation turbine that are expected to be replaced with new orders later in 2011 when customer requirements are established. The $118 million first quarter non-wind order intake is the largest non-wind order intake since early 2008 and the largest quarterly industrial order intake in Kaydon’s history. This resulted in a strong industrial book-to-bill ratio of 1.23. Backlog at April 2, 2011 was $203.0 million compared to $200.9 million at December 31, 2010, and $199.8 million at April 3, 2010.

Financial Position and Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company, was $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $27.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. The decline in free cash flow is largely attributable to working capital growth supporting improved business activity.

On January 3, 2011, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.19 per share or an aggregate of $6.3 million. During the first quarter of 2011 the Company repurchased 357,091 shares of common stock for $14.0 million.

As of April 2, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $271.9 million. The Company has a $250 million senior revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks which provides for borrowings by the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Company had no borrowing against this facility and no other debt outstanding as of April 2, 2011. On April 8, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of HAHN-Gasfedern GmbH as previously announced.
