Raven Industries Reports Strong Third Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results

Year-Over-Year Growth in Sales and Operating Income Improved


SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Feb. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raven Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAVN) today reported financial results for the third quarter that ended October 31, 2016.

Noteworthy Items:

  • Consolidated sales and operating income increased approximately 7 percent and 175 percent, respectively;
  • Operating income for last year’s third quarter included $16.0 million of impairment charges and pre-contract cost write-offs, offset by a reduction in our contingent consideration liability, such that adjusted consolidated operating income1 increased 20 percent year-over-year;
  • Gross profit margin expanded 230 basis points year-over-year, driven by increased volume;
  • Applied Technology grew sales and division profit by approximately 18 percent and 95 percent, respectively;
  • Engineered Films grew sales 4.4 percent year-over-year, driven by 5.9 percent growth in pounds sold;
  • Applied Technology and Engineered Films both drove meaningful year-over-year improvement in profitability, expanding division profit margins 1,000 basis points and 190 basis points, respectively;
  • Sales into the Geomembrane market (which includes the Energy market) for Engineered Films grew for the first time since fiscal year 2015, increasing $2.3 million or approximately 36 percent year-over-year;
  • Aerostar’s operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was adversely impacted by a $2.3 million charge related to certain radar inventory;
  • Net working capital decreased nearly $8 million year-over-year, driven primarily by actions to reduce inventory and improve days payable outstanding3;
  • Strong cash flows continued, with cash flow from operations increasing $1.6 million versus the third quarter of last year;
  • Outlook for fiscal year 2017 consolidated sales is approximately $277 million.

Third Quarter Results:                                        
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were $72.5 million, up 7.3 percent versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Applied Technology and Engineered Films both achieved growth year-over-year in the third quarter, increasing sales 18.1 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively. Aerostar sales declined 4.8 percent versus the prior year.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $7.4 million versus an operating loss of $9.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. This year’s third quarter results include a pre-tax inventory write-down adjustment of $2.3 million related to certain Aerostar radar inventory. Last year’s third quarter results include a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $11.5 million, long-lived asset impairment loss of $3.8 million, pre-contract cost write-off of $2.9 million (of which $2.1 million was related to prior periods), and an earn-out liability reduction benefit of $2.3 million, all of which are related to the Company’s Vista Research business within Aerostar. In aggregate, these items reduced operating income by $16.0 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment loss, long-lived asset impairment loss, pre-contract cost write-off, and reduced earn-out related to Vista Research, adjusted operating income for the third quarter of last year was $6.1 million1. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased $1.2 million versus the prior year, or approximately 20 percent.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $5.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in last year's third quarter. This year’s third quarter results include an after-tax inventory write-down of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the Company’s Vista Research business. Last year’s third quarter results included a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $11.5 million, long-lived asset impairment loss of $3.8 million, pre-contract cost write-off of $2.9 million (of which $2.1 million was related to prior periods), and an earn-out liability reduction benefit of $2.3 million, all of which are related to the Company’s Vista Research business. On an after-tax basis, these items reduced net income in the third quarter of last year by $10.3 million, equivalent to $0.28 per diluted share. Excluding the goodwill impairment loss, long-lived asset impairment loss, pre-contract cost write-off, and earn-out reduction benefit related to Vista Research, adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $4.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share2. The increase in earnings per share, on an adjusted basis, was driven primarily by the improved operating performance in both Applied Technology and Engineered Films.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $46.3 million, up $6.2 million versus the prior quarter. The increase in cash was due to free cash flow generation driven primarily by favorable net working capital developments and improved profitability.

Net working capital as a percentage of annualized net sales decreased 470 basis points year-over-year, from 29.9 percent in the third quarter of last year to 25.2 percent in this year’s third quarter3. The decrease in net working capital percent was primarily the result of both lower inventory levels and an increase in payable balances as a result of an improvement in the timing of payments to suppliers. The inventory write-down in the third quarter of this year lowered net working capital by 80 basis points relative to the prior year.

Cash flow from operations was $13.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 versus $11.5 million in the previous year’s third quarter. Continued reductions in net working capital sustained relatively strong cash flow in the third quarter of this year.

Capital expenditures were $1.7 million in this year’s third quarter, down $1.7 million versus $3.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2017, capital expenditures were $3.9 million, down $6.9 million versus $10.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2016.

Applied Technology Division Third Quarter Results:
Net sales for Applied Technology in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were $25.2 million, up 18.1 percent versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Geographically, domestic sales were up 14.3 percent year-over-year and international sales were up 33.0 percent year-over-year. Sales growth was driven in large part by strength in new product sales, and in particular the division’s new Hawkeye® Nozzle Control System.

Division operating income was $6.4 million, up 94.5 percent versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased operating leverage due to higher sales volume versus the previous year. Operating margin for the division increased by 1,000 basis points versus the prior year, from 15.5 percent to 25.5 percent. The increase in operating margin was driven by fixed manufacturing cost leverage and operating expense discipline which resulted in lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

Engineered Films Division Third Quarter Results:
Net sales for Engineered Films were $38.6 million, up 4.4 percent year-over-year. Volume, measured in pounds sold, increased 5.9 percent while average selling price declined 1.4 percent. The increase in sales was driven principally by higher sales into the Geomembrane (which includes Energy) and Industrial markets. All markets experienced growth during the third quarter versus the prior year, with the exception of the Agricultural market.

Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $7.1 million, up $1.0 million or 16.0 percent versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The year-over-year increase in operating income was driven principally by higher sales volumes and lower operating expenses. Division operating margin increased 190 basis points year-over-year, from 16.6 percent to 18.5 percent, driven by improved capacity utilization and the benefit of continued expense control.

Aerostar Division Third Quarter Results:
Net sales for Aerostar during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were $9.0 million, down $0.5 million or 4.8 percent versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The decline in sales was driven primarily by lower Aerostat sales year-over-year due to the timing of contract deliveries. Sales related to Radar systems and Sewn Services were up year-over-year. Sales of Stratospheric balloons were down slightly due to lower sales of research balloons to NASA as a result of contract timing.

Operating loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.4 million versus an operating loss of $15.5 million in the third quarter of last year. This year’s third quarter operating loss was driven primarily by an inventory write-down of $2.3 million for certain Aerostar radar systems. Last year’s operating loss was driven by $16.0 million of impairment charges and pre-contract cost write-offs, offset by a reduction in the contingent consideration liability.

Control Framework Update:
The Company recently disclosed certain material weaknesses in its internal control framework. The Company takes this matter very seriously and is taking action to diligently remediate these material weaknesses and enhance its controls. The Company has engaged independent outside experts to assist management in enhancing the Company’s internal control framework. The Company has also augmented its staff to further support the remediation efforts and is committed to a strong framework by continuously driving appropriate enhancements in the design of its controls.

Fiscal 2017 Outlook:
“We are pleased with the continued improvement in financial performance in the third quarter. Strong performances in both Applied Technology and Engineered Films are continuing and momentum is building for these divisions. Sales growth in these two divisions are resulting in strong incremental margins and driving growth in their division profits,” said Dan Rykhus, President and CEO. “New products are contributing to sales growth for Applied Technology, and after several years of declining Energy demand for Engineered Films, we are starting to see year-over-year growth once again. These growth trends continue to strengthen even further in the fourth quarter.

“Although we do not normally provide numerical financial guidance, and we do not intend to continue to do so in the future, we believe it is appropriate in this circumstance to provide an indication of where we believe fiscal year 2017 will finish. At this time, we expect consolidated sales to be approximately $277 million, with Applied Technology, Engineered Films, and Aerostar sales of approximately $105 million, $138 million, and $34 million, respectively. While we are not final with our financial results for fiscal year 2017, it is clear that both Applied Technology and Engineered Films will be finishing the year very strong and beginning fiscal year 2018 on a continued growth trajectory. Incremental profits for these two divisions have been robust and we expect this to continue in the fourth quarter,” concluded Rykhus.
