BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - April 29, 2010) - Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (
NASDAQ:
BOOM), the world's leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates,
today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31,
2010.
First quarter sales, which came in slightly higher than management's prior
forecast, were $30.4 million versus $49.8 million in last year's first
quarter and $42.6 million in the 2009 fourth quarter. Gross margin was 23%
versus 31% in last year's first quarter and 23% in the fourth quarter.
Income from operations was $245,000 compared with $8.3 million in last
year's first quarter and $2.4 million in the fourth quarter. The Company
reported a net loss of $412,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, versus net
income of $4.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the year-ago first
quarter and net income of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the
fourth quarter.
First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million versus $11.5 million in the
first quarter last year and $5.9 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted
EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principle) financial
measure used by management to measure operating performance. See
additional information about adjusted EBITDA at the end of this news
release, as well as a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP measures.
Explosive Metalworking
DMC's Explosive Metalworking segment recorded first quarter sales of $21.3
million versus sales of $43.5 million in last year's first quarter.
Operating income was $1.2 million versus $9.4 million in the comparable
year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 million compared with $10.9
million in the same quarter last year. The Explosive Metalworking segment
ended the first quarter with an order backlog of $51.4 million, up slightly
from a backlog of $50 million at the end of fiscal 2009.
Oilfield Products
The Company's Oilfield Products segment reported first quarter sales of
$7.0 million versus $4.0 million in last year's first quarter. Excluding
$2.8 million in revenue contributions from LRI Oil Tools, which DMC
acquired on October 1, 2009, the Oilfield Products segment reported a first
quarter sales increase of $156,000, or 4%, versus the same quarter a year
ago.
The segment reported an operating loss of $404,000 versus an operating loss
of $694,000 in the prior year's first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $541,000
as compared with $154,000 in the 2009 first quarter.
AMK Welding
DMC's AMK Welding segment reported first quarter sales of $2.0 million
versus $2.3 million in the same quarter last year. Operating income was
$224,000 versus $375,000 in the comparable prior-year quarter. The segment
recorded adjusted EBITDA of $339,000 versus $489,000 in the 2009 first
quarter.
Management Commentary
Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "Despite the duration and severity of
the current recession, this was our first quarterly loss in more than five
years. We are now seeing signs of increased activity within key segments
of the global economy and are optimistic that these indicators foretell a
rebound within the worldwide industrial processing sector. Consistent with
the past several quarters, our Explosive Metalworking business is receiving
quote requests from several of our end markets at a relatively healthy
pace. We believe that as economic growth gains momentum, investments in
capital projects will accelerate, and many of the prospective projects we
are tracking will ultimately be released for production."
"We are increasingly encouraged about the growth prospects for our oilfield
products business," Cariou added. "Our integration of recently acquired
LRI Oil Tools is going smoothly, and we expect to finalize our purchase of
Austin Explosives later this quarter. Customer feedback and recent
commentary from major players in the oilfield services sector suggest that
global exploration and production activity is gaining momentum."
Rick Santa, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said that
despite the pullback in first quarter revenue, the Company generated $13.8
million in operating cash flow through the first fiscal period. "We
utilized our strong cash position to make significant reductions to our
overall debt levels during the quarter. We pre-paid the balance of our
European term loan and reduced our net debt by $12.5 million, while our
total debt was reduced by $16.5 million."
DMC ended the first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $18.4
million, total assets of $206 million and a working capital position of
$36.3 million.
Guidance
Santa said second quarter sales are expected to increase by approximately
10% to 15% versus the first quarter. Second quarter sales guidance is
predicated on the Company shipping the first half of $14.8 million in
orders associated with the Gorgon Natural Gas project. The second half of
the orders is expected to ship during the third quarter. Second quarter
gross margin is expected to be in a range of 20% to 22%. Management
continues to forecast full-year sales in a range of flat to down 5%
compared with fiscal 2009 sales, and the full-year gross margin forecast
remains at a range of 22% to 24%.
DMC's effective tax rate during the first quarter decreased to 27% from 33%
for the same period of 2009, and the Company is now anticipating a blended
effective tax rate for 2010 in a range of 25% to 28% versus prior forecasts
of between 33% and 35%. The lower expected tax rate is due in part to the
expected reduction in DMC's 2010 consolidated pre-tax income versus that
reported in 2009. Beginning in 2011, management expects that DMC's blended
effective tax rate will to return to a normalized level of 33% to 35%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial
statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's
understanding of DMC's financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure
should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly
comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the
schedules attached to this release.
EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes,
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA
stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management
does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance (as further
described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP
financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be
an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or
any other GAAP measure.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial
decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in
order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing
operating performance and the company's ability to generate cash flow from
operations. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly
operating reviews feature the adjusted EBITDA. Management also believes
that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same
reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures
are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are
also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess
operating performance. For example, a measure similar to EBITDA is required
by the lenders under DMC's credit facility.
Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC's presentation of
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in
evaluating the company's performance against its peer companies because
management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into
key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with
greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net
income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise,
eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact
of a company's capital structure on its performance.
All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA
and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation,
amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii)
items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC's
operating performance (e.g., income taxes and gain on sale of assets). In
the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can
better assess the company's operating performance if the measures are
presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these
adjustments do not affect DMC's ability to generate free cash flow or
invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and
amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance
without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life.
In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can
better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without
these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing
operating performance.
