Mueller Water Products Reports Fiscal 2011 Second Quarter Results

May 02, 2011

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA) today reported net sales of $311.3 million and a net loss of $13.7 million for the fiscal 2011 second quarter ended March 31, 2011. Summarized consolidated 2011 second quarter results compared to 2010 second quarter results are as follows:

  • Net sales for the 2011 second quarter were $311.3 million, up 3.1 percent, compared to $301.8 million for the 2010 second quarter.
  • Loss from operations for the 2011 second quarter was $6.9 million compared to a loss from operations for the 2010 second quarter of $22.9 million. Adjusted loss from operations for the 2011 second quarter of $4.8 million improved $7.6 million from adjusted loss from operations of $12.4 million for the 2010 second quarter.
  • Net loss per share for the 2011 second quarter was $0.09 compared to a net loss per share for the 2010 second quarter of $0.15. Adjusted net loss per share for the 2011 second quarter was $0.07 compared to an adjusted net loss per share for the 2010 second quarter of $0.11.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the 2011 second quarter of $15.8 million increased $6.8 million from adjusted EBITDA for the 2010 second quarter of $9.0 million.

"During the quarter, we benefited from both higher sales pricing, which covered increased raw material costs, and ongoing cost savings initiatives in all three of our businesses," said Gregory E. Hyland, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water Products. "Anvil's second quarter adjusted income from operations, excluding a 2010 one-time gain, more than doubled.

"At Mueller Co., we continued to invest in new products and services that we believe have significant growth potential, including advanced metering infrastructure at Mueller Systems and pipe condition assessment and leak detection services at Echologics. These products and services enable our customers to maximize the efficiency of their water infrastructure systems which is becoming increasingly important. However, in the short term, expenses associated with these investments are masking the higher margins of the rest of our Mueller Co. business.

"Municipalities recognize the need to upgrade their water infrastructure systems; however, we believe they will remain cautious in the near term as they balance this need against current budget concerns. With this caution, as well as the delayed recovery of the residential construction market, we believe that volumes in our water infrastructure businesses for the second half of the year will be roughly flat on a year-over-year basis. But our overall earnings performance should continue to improve given the benefits of higher pricing and our cost savings initiatives and other operational improvements we have made."

Second Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the 2011 second quarter of $311.3 million increased 3.1 percent from net sales for the 2010 second quarter of $301.8 million. Net sales increased primarily due to higher prices of $13.9 million, partially offset by lower shipment volumes of $5.1 million.

Adjusted loss from operations for the 2011 second quarter of $4.8 million improved $7.6 million from an adjusted loss from operations for the 2010 second quarter of $12.4 million. Manufacturing and other cost savings of $15.8 million and higher sales prices of $13.9 million were partially offset by higher raw material costs of $11.2 million, higher per-unit overhead costs due to lower production of $5.1 million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $4.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2010 second quarter included a gain of $3.1 million from the sale of Anvil's Canadian distribution business.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Mueller Co.

Net sales for Mueller Co. for the 2011 second quarter of $148.9 million increased 5.5 percent from net sales for the 2010 second quarter of $141.2 million. The increase was due to higher prices of $4.4 million, higher shipment volumes of $2.4 million and favorable Canadian currency exchange rates of $0.9 million.

Adjusted income from operations for the 2011 second quarter of $10.5 million compare to income from operations for the 2010 second quarter of $9.7 million. Manufacturing and other cost savings of $5.0 million and higher sales prices of $4.4 million were substantially offset by $4.5 million of higher raw material costs and $4.4 million of higher per-unit overhead costs due to lower production and other manufacturing costs.

U.S. Pipe

Net sales for U.S. Pipe for the 2011 second quarter were $75.8 million compare to net sales for the 2010 second quarter of $83.0 million. Lower shipment volumes of $14.0 million were partially offset by higher prices of $6.8 million.

Adjusted loss from operations for the 2011 second quarter of $15.7 million improved $3.9 million from the adjusted loss from operations for the 2010 second quarter of $19.6 million. This improvement was driven by manufacturing and other cost savings of $8.0 million and higher sales prices of $6.8 million, which were partially offset by higher raw material costs of $5.3 million, higher per-unit overhead costs due to lower production of $3.3 million and lower shipment volumes of $2.9 million.

Anvil

Net sales for Anvil for the 2011 second quarter of $86.6 million increased 11.6 percent from net sales for the 2010 second quarter of $77.6 million. Net sales increased primarily due to higher shipment volumes of $6.5 million and higher prices of $2.7 million.

Adjusted income from operations for the 2011 second quarter of $6.9 million increased $0.9 million compared to adjusted income from operations for the 2010 second quarter of $6.0 million. Manufacturing and other cost savings of $2.8 million, higher sales prices of $2.7 million and higher shipment volumes of $1.8 million improved operating results. These improvements were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $4.6 million and higher raw material costs of $1.4 million. Included in 2010 second quarter selling, general and administrative expenses was a $3.1 million gain from the sale of the Canadian distribution business during that quarter.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the 2011 second quarter of $16.3 million included $2.0 million of non-cash costs related to interest rate swap contracts. Although these contracts were terminated prior to fiscal 2011, the related costs are being amortized over the original term of the swap contracts. Interest expense, net for the 2010 second quarter of $14.8 million included a benefit of $0.8 million related to terminated interest rate swap contracts. Excluding these terminated swap contract costs, interest expense, net decreased $1.3 million primarily due to a lower effective interest rate.

Subsequent Event

The Board of Directors of Mueller Water Products, Inc., after considering many factors, has authorized the exploration of a variety of alternatives for U.S. Pipe, including strategic alternatives such as the sale of a controlling interest in that business to a third party, a joint venture with a third party or other financial or structural alternatives, both domestic and international. A key objective will be to ensure that U.S. Pipe continues as a strong brand by delivering quality goods and services to its customers, with the same commitment to high customer service that has distinguished its business in the past.

No decision has been made at this time to enter into any transaction and there can be no assurance that the exploration of alternatives will result in a transaction or as to the terms, conditions or timetable of any such transaction. It is the Company's policy not to comment on any specific discussions or any potential corporate transaction unless and until it enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such a transaction.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net debt as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted income (loss) from operations represents income (loss) from operations excluding restructuring. Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted income (loss) from operations as a percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations excluding restructuring, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales. The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because these are measures management believes are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share exclude restructuring, certain costs from settled interest rate swap contracts and the income tax effects of the previously mentioned items. These items are excluded because they are not considered indicative of recurring operations. Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. It is presented as a measurement of cash flow because it is commonly used by the investment community. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is commonly used by the investment community as a measure of indebtedness. Adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net debt have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release and has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.
