MILTON, Ga., Nov. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exide Technologies (Nasdaq:XIDE) (www.exide.com), a global leader in stored electrical energy solutions, announced today its fiscal 2010 second quarter financial results, for the period ended September 30, 2009.
Highlights of Fiscal 2010 Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Results:
-- Net sales for the fiscal 2010 second quarter of $631.8 million compared to $914.2 million in the prior year quarter on 23% lower unit volumes while sequential second quarter net sales increased approximately 7% over the fiscal 2010 first quarter; -- Gross margin for the fiscal 2010 second quarter increased 290 basis points to 20.6% from 17.7% in the prior year period and sequentially improved from the fiscal 2010 first quarter of 18.0% by approximately 260 basis points; -- Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $3.8 million or $0.05 per share as compared to adjusted net income of $19.1 million or $0.25 per share in the fiscal 2009 comparative period and adjusted net loss of $11.0 million or ($0.15) per share in the fiscal 2010 first quarter; and -- Free cash flow generation for the six months ended September 30, 2009 of $28.2 million while funding restructuring and capital investments of $70.7 million.
Consolidated Results
Fiscal 2010 second quarter consolidated net sales were $631.8 million as compared to net sales of $914.2 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. Net sales in the fiscal 2010 period were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation ($16.2 million), price reductions resulting from lead escalator agreements ($57.4 million) and overall lower unit volumes ($208.8 million). The reduction in unit sales over the prior year period is driven by lower original equipment "(OE)" builds in Transportation and Motive Power, lower capital spending in the Network Power channels and lower aftermarket volumes in Transportation Americas. The lower aftermarket sales are the result of the previously announced transition of two accounts to competitors.
Consolidated net loss for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $8.0 million or ($0.11) per share compared to a net loss for the fiscal 2009 second quarter of $10.2 million or ($0.14) per share. The results for these comparable periods were impacted by the following items:
-- The fiscal 2010 second quarter results include restructuring and related asset impairment charges of $10.4 million, net of tax, or ($0.14) per share ($11.2 million pre-tax) compared with net of tax restructuring and asset impairment charges in the second quarter of the prior year in the amount of $9.8 million or ($0.13) per share ($10.8 million pre-tax). -- The results of the fiscal 2010 second quarter include currency remeasurement gain, net of tax, in the amount of $4.2 million or $0.06 per share ($7.6 million pre-tax), compared to a loss of $17.9 million, net of tax, or ($0.24) per share ($27.7 million pre-tax) in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. -- The fiscal 2010 second quarter includes unrealized gains from revaluation of warrants liability in the amount of $0.3 million or $0.00 per share compared to $9.2 million or $0.12 per share in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. Unrealized gains and losses from revaluation of warrants liability are not subject to income taxes. -- The fiscal 2010 second quarter includes reorganization items, net of tax, in the amount of $0.1 million or ($0.00) per share ($0.3 million pre-tax) compared to the fiscal 2009 period of $0.3 million or ($0.00) per share ($0.5 million pre-tax). -- The fiscal 2010 second quarter tax provision was negatively impacted by $5.8 million or ($0.08) per share due to valuation allowance increases compared to $10.5 million or ($0.14) per share in the fiscal 2009 second quarter.
Excluding the impact of the above described, nonoperational items, adjusted net income for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $3.8 million or $0.05 per share. This compares with adjusted net income for the comparable prior year period of $19.1 million or $0.25 per share. A reconciliation of net income or loss and net income or loss per share to adjusted net income or loss and adjusted net income or loss per share is provided as an attachment to this release.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $45.6 million as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $68.2 million in the prior fiscal year second quarter. Although gross profit declined by $32.0 million in comparison to the prior fiscal year second quarter primarily on lower volume; as a percent of net sales, margins increased 290 basis points to 20.6% in the fiscal 2010 second quarter, compared to 17.7% in the prior year period. Fiscal 2010 second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was nearly double the fiscal 2010 first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million. Gordon A. Ulsh, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As indicated in our release on August 6, 2009, we achieved significant sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA from the first fiscal quarter to the second fiscal quarter, primarily the result of better alignment of our cost structure with the existing global market condition. As we also indicated in August, assuming no further significant contraction in the global economy and a rational pricing environment, we continue to anticipate achieving higher Adjusted EBITDA for each of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010 as compared to the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009."
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal 2010 second quarter decreased approximately 11% to $110.2 million versus the comparable prior year period of $123.2 million. Approximately $5.1 million of the decrease resulted from favorable foreign currency translation, with the remainder attributable to lower sales commissions and the Company's continued focus on spending controls.
Net interest expense decreased approximately 19% or $3.6 million to $14.8 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter as compared to $18.4 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter; the result of the lower average debt outstanding and favorable impact of lower interest rates. At September 30, 2009, net debt decreased by $26.0 million to $562.7 million from $588.7 million at March 31, 2009.
Fiscal 2010 Six Month Consolidated Results
The Company reported a net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2009 of $62.0 million or ($0.82) per share as compared to a net loss of $20.5 million or ($0.27) per share in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $7.2 million or ($0.09) per share. This compares to an adjusted net income of $32.2 million or $0.43 per share for the prior year six month period.
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2010 aggregated $1.22 billion as compared with $1.89 billion for the prior year period. Net sales in the fiscal 2010 period were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of 3% or ($64.7 million), price reductions due to an 18% decline in average lead prices period over period ($161.7 million) and overall lower unit volumes of 23%. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended September 30, 2009 aggregated $68.8 million versus $139.3 million in the comparable prior year period. As a percent of net sales, margins for the first six months of fiscal 2010 increased to 19.3% from 17.7% in the prior year period.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $109.2 million and $112.6 million availability under its revolving bank credit facility. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $69.5 million and $130.6 million availability under the revolving bank credit facility at March 31, 2009. Free cash flow was $28.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to free cash flow of $90.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2009. Ulsh commented, "We have generated positive free cash flow in the first six months while funding restructuring investments of $34.8 million and capital investments of $35.9 million."
Segment Information for the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2009
Transportation Segments
Net sales of the Company's combined Transportation segments in the fiscal 2010 second quarter were $407.2 million as compared to $561.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of 22% lower unit volumes in both OE and aftermarket sales. A stronger dollar against most foreign currencies resulted in unfavorable currency translation impact of approximately ($8.1 million). Price reductions resulting from lead escalator agreements negatively impacted net sales by ($40.9 million) in the fiscal 2010 second quarter as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were $784.5 million as compared to $1.14 billion for the same period of fiscal 2009 primarily due to lower unit volumes, unfavorable currency translation and price reductions due to lower average lead prices.
Adjusted EBITDA for the combined Transportation segments was $40.4 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter versus $36.2 million in the comparable fiscal 2009 period. Adjusted EBITDA for the Transportation segments increased in the current fiscal quarter from the prior year period primarily due to savings achieved from restructuring initiatives and higher profits from its recycling operations. Mr. Ulsh stated, "The actions taken to reduce legacy capacity began to benefit our results in the current quarter. We expect that these benefits will accelerate as we move into the second half of the fiscal year." Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $56.5 million versus $77.4 million for the comparable fiscal 2009 period.
Industrial Energy Segments
Fiscal 2010 second quarter total net sales for the Company's combined Industrial Energy segments were $224.6 million as compared to $353.2 million in the comparable fiscal 2009 period. This decrease was primarily due to a 28% decline in unit volumes for both motive power and network power products in the fiscal 2010 second quarter as compared to the prior year period. Net sales were negatively impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of ($8.0 million) and lead related price reductions due to lead escalator agreements of approximately ($16.5 million) over the prior year period. "While market demand continues to be lower than in the prior year, it is declining at a lesser rate which we believe indicates a slow recovery is underway," Ulsh said. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were $440.2 million as compared to $742.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2009 primarily due to lower unit volumes, unfavorable currency translation and price reductions due to lower average lead prices.
Total Adjusted EBITDA for the Industrial Energy segments in the fiscal 2010 second quarter totaled $12.0 million versus $39.6 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. This decrease is primarily due to lower sales volumes for motive power and network power products. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $25.6 million versus $76.0 million for the comparable fiscal 2009 period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of its operational financial performance. This measure is the key indicator of the Company's operational performance and excludes the nonrecurring impact of the Company's current restructuring actions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring charges. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA definition also adjusts reported earnings for the effect of non-cash currency remeasurement gains or losses, the non-cash gain or loss from revaluation of the Company's warrants liability, impairment charges and non-cash gains or losses on asset sales. Please refer to the reconciliations of net loss to EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA below.
The Company calculates Adjusted Earnings Per Share by excluding from net income (loss) per diluted share certain items, such as non-cash tax valuation allowances, reorganization items related to the Company's prior bankruptcy proceedings and the non-cash gain or loss from revaluation of the Company's warrants liability. The Company also excludes the impact of restructuring and impairment charges incurred to improve its relative cost position when compared with the competition. Further, non-cash currency remeasurement gains and losses have been excluded as these are the result of financing as opposed to operating decisions. The Company believes that these measures are useful to investors and management because they allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding these non-operational items that the Company believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating, the Company's continuing operations. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income (loss) per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
The Company also defines Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities and cash from investing activities, both as measured in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information about the cash generated by our core operations after capital expenditures and the sale of non-core assets.
All of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to, but not in isolation or as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the Company's measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
