ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) today announced its results for the fourth fiscal quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
“Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Conference Call”
Consolidated Results
Fourth quarter sales increased 3.0 percent to $108.1 million, compared to sales of $105.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter sales were impacted by approximately $7 million of international wind energy deferred shipments which are expected to be released in the first half of 2012.
Operating income was $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $17.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the items detailed below, operating income was $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The fourth quarter of 2011 included $5.2 million of costs and charges associated with a previously disclosed customer arbitration which is expected to be concluded in 2012. These charges include an impairment charge for which the Company is pursuing recovery. The Company also incurred $0.5 million of costs for due diligence and restructuring activities.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $8.7 million, compared to net income of $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2011 equaled $.27 compared to $.34 in the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the items noted above, net income was $12.7 million, or $.40 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2011.
EBITDA equaled $19.3 million, or 17.8 percent of sales, during the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $24.6 million, or 23.5 percent of sales, during the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the items noted above, EBITDA was $24.8 million, or 22.9 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Full year 2011 sales totaled $460.1 million compared to $464.0 million for full year 2010. Full year 2011 diluted earnings per share totaled $1.52 per share compared to $1.67 per share in full year 2010. Adjusting for the items noted above and for plant consolidation costs and legal expenses incurred earlier in the year for the arbitration, full year 2011 diluted earnings per share totaled $1.75 per share and full year 2011 EBITDA totaled $109.5 million, or 23.8 percent of sales.

Management Commentary
James O’Leary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Fiscal 2011 saw early strength and continued progress in our efforts to broaden our sales both internationally and in North America. In particular, our industrial businesses performed well through most of the year as investments in sales and marketing resources, both globally and in North America, have proved successful. For the year, our industrial businesses grew over 16 percent, substantially offsetting the decline in our wind and military businesses.
“As has been well publicized in the media, the fourth quarter was characterized by the general economic uncertainty and volatility that began in the third quarter as both international orders and shipments were affected by softening business conditions. However, we remain confident that the investments made to better support our international and North American distribution channels will serve us well over the long term. The successes we experienced in 2011 were necessary to offset the expected decline in both military and wind energy sales. The decline in these two markets, most of which was offset by growth elsewhere in the portfolio, accounted for the entire shortfall relative to 2010.
“Wind energy performance was negatively impacted as compared to 2010, as sales in 2011 dropped by $42 million from 2010's shipments of $96 million. The fourth quarter was also impacted by approximately $7 million of delayed shipments as an international customer deferred releases into 2012. We currently expect 2012 sales to exceed $70 million as wind installations pick up in advance of the potential expiration of the United States' Production Tax Credit (PTC). In the fourth quarter, we took preliminary action to both rationalize headcount and better align customer inventories in advance of potential further action later in 2012 should the PTC not be extended and global renewable energy conditions remained challenged.
“Military performance was likewise negatively impacted as compared to 2010, as recent years benefited from our leading position on several major military vehicle programs, and the highly publicized fiscal issues affecting future defense spending in the United States. Most of the decline, year over year, was due to the absence of significant sales in a key ground vehicle program in 2010 as the breadth of our program coverage insulated us to some extent. Going forward, we expect performance more comparable to 2011 with a less severe, but still modestly downward bias, due to uncertainty over defense spending through much of this election year.”
Segment Results and Review
Friction Control Products sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $58.5 million, compared to $61.5 million in the 2010 fourth quarter. The decline was largely attributable to lower wind energy sales. Wind energy sales were $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $12.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Approximately $7 million of wind energy orders originally scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter 2011 were rescheduled for delivery in the first half of 2012. Wind energy sales were approximately $54 million in 2011 and are expected to exceed $70 million in 2012. Fourth quarter 2011 sales to non-wind markets totaled $48.9 million compared to $49.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Fourth quarter 2011 Friction Control Products operating income totaled $4.9 million, compared to $11.8 million in the prior fourth quarter due to $5.2 million of arbitration related costs and charges previously discussed and the decline in wind energy sales.
Velocity Control Products sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $20.4 million, compared to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating income for this segment totaled $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $2.8 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Other Industrial Products sales equaled $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $28.5 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Operating income equaled $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to operating income of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, due to improved sales.
Order Activity
Orders were $84.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $100.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Collectively, wind energy and military orders declined $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The remainder of the decline was due to weaker international and export orders, principally in Europe, and the timing of a major aerospace blanket order received in the fourth quarter of 2010. Backlog at December 31, 2011 was $181.6 million of which $60.0 million was in support of wind energy shipments.
Financial Position and Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company, was $16.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $23.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the full year of 2011, net cash generated from operating activities was $54.9 million, compared to a record $93.9 million in the full year of 2010, while full year 2011 free cash flow was $40.2 million compared to a record $78.6 million in the full year of 2010.
On October 3, 2011, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.20 per share or an aggregate of $6.4 million. For the full year of 2011, the Company paid common stock dividends of $25.1 million. During the fourth quarter of 2011 the Company repurchased 135,000 shares of common stock for $4.0 million. For the full year of 2011, the Company repurchased 1,082,091 shares for $38.7 million. In aggregate, the Company returned $63.8 million to its shareholders in 2011 while investing over $50 million in the previously announced Hahn acquisition, capital expenditures and growth programs to further enhance the long term value of our businesses.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $225.2 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 outstanding borrowings under this facility and no other debt outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
