Kadant: Results for Third Quarter 2009
Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
Kadant Inc. reported revenues from continuing operations of $53.7 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $30.0 million, or 36 percent, compared to $83.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. Revenues in the third quarter of 2009 increased 7 percent compared to revenues of $50.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Revenues in the third quarter of 2009 included a $2.4 million, or 3 percent, decrease from foreign currency translation. Operating income in the third quarter of 2009 was $0.8 million, an $8.2 million, or 91 percent, decrease compared to $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. Operating income included $0.5 million in restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2009 compared to a net gain of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net loss in the third quarter of 2009 was $0.1 million, or $.01 per diluted share, versus net income of $6.9 million, or $.50 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. Net loss in the third quarter of 2009 included an incremental tax provision of $0.4 million, or $.03 per diluted share, and an after-tax restructuring charge of $0.3 million, or $.03 per diluted share. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2009 was $0.6 million, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

“We were very encouraged with our overall performance in the third quarter,” said William A. Rainville, chairman and chief executive officer of Kadant. “We exceeded our revenue, operating income, and EPS guidance, largely due to stronger than anticipated results in our stock preparation product line. Consolidated bookings of $62.4 million increased by 32 percent compared to the second quarter of 2009, representing our first quarterly sequential increase in two years.
“We also had one of the best quarters for operating cash flows in our history. Cash flows from operations were $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, more than doubling over a solid performance last year. Due to this outstanding cash flow performance, we moved into a net cash position for the first time in over a year. Net cash, that is, cash in excess of debt, was $11 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009, an improvement of $13 million compared to net debt of $2 million in the second quarter of 2009. We were also comfortably in compliance with the financial covenants in our credit facility at the end of the quarter.
“We were pleased to see increased activity in the capital side of our stock preparation business due to several large systems orders in the third quarter. We booked an order from a major tissue producer in Latin America for approximately $8 million for a stock preparation system, which we noted was pending in our second quarter 2009 earnings release, and two other stock preparation system orders with a total value of $6 million from linerboard producers in China. In addition, we booked two orders in our fluid-handling product line with a total value of over $1 million from mills in Russia and Brazil. Our parts and consumables business, however, remains relatively weak in all of our product lines in all geographic regions.
“While we were pleased with our third quarter results, we remain cautious about the timing and strength of a market recovery. Declines in demand within the paper industry are moderating in the U.S. and Asia, while European demand remains weak.
“We expect to report GAAP diluted EPS of $.02 to $.04 from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 on revenues of $55 to $57 million. This includes $.03 of incremental tax provision and $.01 of estimated restructuring costs. For the full year, we expect to report a GAAP diluted loss per share of $.30 to $.32 from continuing operations on revenues of $224 to $226 million, revised from our previous guidance of GAAP diluted loss per share of $.60 to $.65, on revenues of $210 to $220 million. The full year guidance includes $.28 of incremental tax provision and $.13 of estimated restructuring costs.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, revenues excluding the effect of currency translation, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business, operating results, or future outlook. We believe that the inclusion of such measures helps investors to gain a better understanding of our underlying operations and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. We also believe this information is responsive to investors' requests and gives them an additional measure of our performance.
We use non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our underlying operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods or forecasts and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by us in our financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release have limitations associated with their use as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, in that they may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.
Adjusted diluted EPS in the three-month periods ended October 3, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was calculated using the reported weighted average diluted shares for each period.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude:
* incremental tax provision of $0.4 million, or $.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. This incremental tax provision is primarily due to the ongoing effect of the full valuation allowance we established for certain foreign and U.S. deferred tax assets. We believe that this incremental tax provision is not comparable to prior periods.
* restructuring costs, net of tax, of $0.3 million, or $.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009 and net restructuring costs and other income, net of tax, of ($0.6) million, or ($.03) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. We believe that these incremental costs and other income are not indicative of our core operating costs and not comparable to other periods, which have differing levels of incremental costs and other income or none at all.
We present the change in revenues by product line excluding the effect of currency translation for the three-month and nine-month periods ended October 3, 2009. We believe that the effect of currency translation associated with our foreign operations is not indicative of our core operating results and not comparable to other periods.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release and in the accompanying tables.
