Second quarter net income was negatively affected by higher pension expense of $3.6 million after-tax or $0.09 per share, which offset the elimination of $2.8 million after-tax or $0.07 per share in goodwill amortization under the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and a $0.8 million after-tax or $0.02 per share benefit from positive foreign currency translation due to the weakening U.S. dollar.

After-tax net unusual costs, special charges and gains resulted in a net charge of $0.9 million or $0.02 per share in the quarter. These include a gain of $1.8 million after-tax or $0.04 per share from the Company's sale of its Capitol Manufacturing operations, offset by a bad debt expense of $1.9 million after-tax or $0.05 per share due to a customer's administrative receivership filing in the U.K. which occurred subsequent to quarter-end. Other unusual items included severance costs and other reorganization expenses.

Sales from continuing operations were $487 million, up 1 percent over the $480 million recorded in the second quarter of last year. Positive foreign currency translation increased sales by $8.3 million.

Commenting on the Company's second quarter performance, Harsco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Derek C. Hathaway said, "Absent the unexpected post-period U.K. customer receivership filing on July 10th which negatively impacted earnings by $0.05 per share, our second quarter results approximated internal expectations and were within the lower range of analyst estimates. The quarter also evidenced significant progress toward our key strategic objectives, which include free cash flow growth, the sale of underperforming assets and meaningful debt reduction. Our accomplishments included the generation of $59 million in free cash flow including asset sales, $34 million above last year's second quarter; $31 million in debt reduction; and a $2.3 million reduction in net interest expense.

"The sale of our Capitol Manufacturing operations continues our strategic transformation toward higher margin, recurring revenue businesses. To this end, we are considering offers for an additional business identified for divestiture and have begun accounting for it in the quarter as a discontinued operation, in accordance with SFAS No. 144."

For the first six months of 2002, income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were as follows:

Revenues from continuing operations for the first six months were $923 million, compared with $959 million for the comparable period last year. Negative foreign currency translation during the first six months lowered sales by approximately $2.5 million and after-tax income by $0.3 million.

"Through the first six months of 2002, we have generated $38 million in free cash flow, including asset sales; $26 million in debt reduction; and $5.5 million in lower net interest expense," Mr. Hathaway said. "Entering the second half of the year, traditionally our strongest for free cash flow generation, we remain confident of our long-term growth strategies. We are raising our targeted proceeds from the sale of underperforming assets, and consequently increasing our debt reduction goal above its original $100 million target. These increases should allow us to further reduce our debt-to-capital ratio to the area of 45 percent by year-end, thus greatly increasing our financial flexibility.

"Moreover, with the sale of Capitol Manufacturing and other smaller product lines in the first half of the year and the anticipated sale in the second half of additional non-core manufacturing businesses, we expect revenues from our higher margin and less cyclical industrial services businesses to approach or exceed 70 percent by the end of the second half. The timing of these divestitures may initially lower our earnings from continuing operations, but we fully expect that the reinvestment in higher return assets will lead to increased earnings and margins over the medium term. By year-end, we anticipate that upwards of 55 percent of our revenues will be generated from the international marketplace, where we presently see better growth opportunities.

"The delay in capital investment decisions by some of our customers is having a dampening effect on the expected second half rebound, particularly in parts of our Gas and Fluid Control segment where the economic recovery in some manufacturing product lines is not occurring as quickly as we had anticipated. The recent, more severe downturn in non-residential construction, including hotels and office buildings, is affecting our Infrastructure segment. Capital investment delays, coupled with the timing of our divestitures, the recent general decline in confidence, and other national apprehensions, make it more difficult to achieve our previously stated goal of 10 percent EPS growth, and cause us to take a cautious view of the second half. Quarter three will be our lead indicator as to whether it will be necessary to modify our view."

Second Quarter Business Segment Review

Infrastructure -- Sales from continuing operations for this segment were up slightly in the quarter to $201 million from $196 million last year, due to $6.0 million in positive foreign currency translation. Operating income from continuing operations, before $0.4 million in net special charges, declined from $22.2 million to $16.7 million, despite a $0.7 million benefit from foreign currency translation. Operating margins, before special charges, declined from 11.3 percent in last year's second quarter to 8.3 percent.

Performance was impeded by widespread deferrals of non-residential construction spending due to the generally unsettled economic conditions. This was coupled with a less favorable mix of product sales in both the access products and track technologies product lines.

Mill Services -- Sales from continuing operations increased 5 percent to $194 million from $185 million in last year's second quarter. Operating income from continuing operations, before $3.4 million in net special charges, increased 12 percent to $26.4 million, while operating margins, before special charges, increased 90 basis points to 13.6 percent in the quarter. Positive foreign currency translation increased sales by $2.1 million and operating income by $0.3 million in the quarter.

Before special items, this segment's results benefited from improved operating performance from all three of its business units: international mill services, domestic mill services, and roofing granules and abrasives. As noted previously, these improvements were negatively offset by the charge taken for the administrative receivership announced by a U.K. customer, the first such occurrence there for a mill services customer in Harsco's experience. Operations are presently continuing at this site under special financing arrangements in receivership.

Gas and Fluid Control -- Sales from continuing operations for this segment declined from $99 million in the second quarter of last year to $91 million this year. Operating income from continuing operations, before $0.1 million in net special charges, declined by a modest 6 percent to $8.1 million in the quarter from the prior year, while operating margins improved by 20 basis points, to 8.9 percent.

Although slightly down, the segment's second quarter operating income was the best year-over-year comparison since the third quarter of 2000. While not all product lines are yet showing favorable trends, it would appear that the manufacturing recession, as it relates to these products, may finally be moderating, with the prospects for improved results in early 2003, if not sooner.

Financial Position

As previously noted, Harsco continued to make progress in its strategic objectives for cash optimization during the second quarter of 2002. Net cash from operating activities improved by $6.3 million and proceeds from asset sales grew by $12.2 million over the second quarter of 2001. Coupled with a reduction in capital expenditures of $15.5 million, free cash flow in the quarter improved by approximately $34 million. Year-to-date free cash flow has improved by approximately $49 million over the first half of last year. In addition, the Company's debt-to-capital ratio has improved by 270 basis points since year-end 2001, to 49.9 percent at June 30, 2002 compared with 52.6 percent at December 31, 2001.

While still down year-over-year, the Company's EVA(r) performance has begun to improve in recent months, and is expected to maintain gradual improvement in future quarters as the Company begins to more fully realize the benefits of its initiatives to increase returns on invested capital.
