HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) --
-- Fourth quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.59, full year earnings per share of $2.21 -- 2002 free cash flow totals $163 million, up 99 percent from 2001 -- Debt reduced by more than $120 million
Worldwide industrial services and products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2002.
Fourth Quarter Results
Income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter were as follows:
$Millions Per Share - Diluted Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Quarter Ending 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from Continuing Operations $23.9 $11.0 $0.59 $0.27 Income (loss) Discontinued Operations 0.2 (1.0) -- (0.02) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Income (GAAP Basis) $24.1 $10.0 $0.59 $0.25 ===== ===== ===== ===== Reconciliation of Unusual Items to GAAP Income Excluding Net Unusual Costs, Special Charges and Gains $22.4 $25.3 $0.55 $0.63 Net Gains, After Tax 4.6 5.4 0.11 0.13 Unusual Costs and Special Charges, After Tax (2.9) (20.7) (0.07) (0.51) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Income (GAAP Basis) $24.1 $10.0 $0.59 $0.25 ===== ===== ===== =====
Fourth quarter 2002 net income was negatively affected by higher pension expense of $3.6 million after-tax or $0.09 per share, which largely offset the elimination of $2.8 million after-tax or $0.07 per share in goodwill amortization (per the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"), and a $1.4 million after-tax or $0.04 per share benefit from positive foreign currency translation.
After-tax net unusual costs, special charges and gains resulted in a net gain of $1.7 million or $0.04 per share in the quarter. This amount includes a gain of $1.5 million after-tax or $0.04 per share on the sale of underperforming assets in the Access Services segment. Also included was a $1.1 million after-tax or $0.03 per share reduction in bad-debt expense associated with a U.S. mill service customer that filed for bankruptcy in 2001. These gains were offset somewhat by charges related primarily to reorganization costs.
Fourth quarter revenues from continuing operations of $497 million approximated those of the prior year period. Positive foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $20 million in the quarter.
Due to reorganization changes, the Company has adopted a new reporting structure for its operations, which should also enhance investor understanding and evaluation of the Company's performance. This structure, shown below, is reflected in the discussion that follows and in the attached financial statements. For ease of comparison, the Company has also reformatted its prior period amounts to the new reporting structure.
-- Mill Services: Heckett MultiServ -- Access Services: SGB Group and Patent Construction Systems -- Gas and Fluid Control: Taylor-Wharton, American Welding and Tank, Sherwood, Air-X-Changers, and Structural Composites Industries -- Other Infrastructure Products and Services: Harsco Track Technologies, Reed Minerals, IKG Industries, and Patterson- Kelley
Commenting on the Company's performance, Harsco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Derek C. Hathaway said, "Results in the fourth quarter were in line with the expectations we shared during our Annual Analyst Conference and public webcast in mid-December, and with Wall Street's consensus estimates.
"Our Mill Services segment continued to perform satisfactorily, benefiting from its global diversity and the marginally improving conditions in the North American steel industry. Strong internal cost control initiatives enabled our Gas and Fluid Control and Other Infrastructure Products and Services segments to perform reasonably well at the operating income level, despite the fact that overall market conditions remain depressed for many of the business lines, as reflected in their lower top line results.
"Improved revenues from our worldwide Access Services segment reflect the benefits of a more favorable foreign currency exchange environment. Industry conditions remain difficult, with non-residential construction at multi-year lows. The current scenario, however, does not dampen our confidence in the longer-term prospects for this business. In the short-term, we will continue to reduce our costs, redeploy existing equipment to new markets, and focus on winning our share of available projects. Encouragingly, this segment generates a significant portion of its revenues from the industrial maintenance area, which by its nature is a more stable and recurring market sector.
"Strong cash flows in 2002 enabled us to significantly reduce debt and increase our dividend by 5 percent. We recently announced our 211th consecutive cash dividend to shareholders, a record of over 50 years of consistent dividend payments.
"Going forward, we see a continuation of the challenging economic conditions. Nevertheless, we remain committed to the vigorous pursuit of our previously stated growth objectives for 2003. This will be accomplished by further building on our strong mill services core business, investment in organic growth opportunities, and internal improvement initiatives from our Six Sigma and Economic Value Added (EVA(r)) programs."
Full Year Results
For the full year 2002, income and diluted earnings per share were as follows:
$Millions Per Share - Diluted Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Twelve Months Ending 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from Continuing Operations $88.4 $74.6 $2.17 $1.86 Income (loss) Discontinued Operations 1.7 (2.9) 0.04 (0.07) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Income (GAAP Basis) $90.1 $71.7 $2.21 $1.79 ===== ===== ===== ===== Reconciliation of Unusual Items to GAAP Income Excluding Net Unusual Costs, Special Charges and Gains $90.4 $94.9 $2.22 $2.37 Net Gains, After Tax 12.4 10.2 0.31 0.25 Unusual Costs and Special Charges, After Tax (12.7) (33.4) (0.32) (0.83) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Income (GAAP Basis) $90.1 $71.7 $2.21 $1.79 ===== ===== ===== =====
Revenues from continuing operations for 2002 approximated $2 billion, down 2 percent from 2001. The positive effect of foreign exchange translation increased revenues by approximately $30 million in 2002.
Fourth Quarter Business Segment Review (All amounts are from continuing operations, and exclude unusual costs, special charges and gains)
Mill Services -- Sales increased 12 percent to $183 million from $163 million in last year's fourth quarter, while operating income increased 8 percent to $21 million. Operating margins declined by 40 basis points to 11.3 percent. Positive foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $11 million and operating income by approximately $1 million in the quarter.
Strong performance from services at international mill sites continued to lead the solid performance of this segment. Results from domestic operations were below last year's fourth quarter due to the timing of mill restarts and scheduling of mill maintenance, which resulted in some unplanned short-term outages.
Access Services -- Fourth quarter sales increased by 4 percent to $159 million, from $154 million last year. Positive foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $10 million in the quarter. Operating income declined by 38 percent to $10.5 million. Operating income in the quarter benefited from approximately $1 million in positive foreign currency translation. Operating margins before net special gains declined to 6.6 percent from 11.1 percent in the fourth quarter of last year.
Performance continued to be negatively impacted by the prolonged weakness in the non-residential construction markets. While the signing in November of U.S. terrorism insurance legislation should, in part, revive previously stalled commercial development projects, a full recovery in the domestic and international non-residential construction markets is not expected until greater economic confidence is restored and the current geopolitical concerns are somewhat alleviated.
Despite this challenging operating environment, the Company's domestic access services business has accumulated a solid backlog of major projects, which are just starting or are scheduled to start soon in 2003. While not a windfall, this work is critical to replacing other projects that continue to be delayed. Further, the Company expects significant cost savings throughout the year from its ongoing Six Sigma and EVA-driven initiatives, particularly in the international access services business.
Gas and Fluid Control -- Fourth quarter sales were $86 million compared with $101 million for the prior year quarter. Operating income declined by 9 percent to $5.2 million from $5.7 million last year. However, operating margins increased by 50 basis points to 6.1 percent in response to the Company's aggressive restructuring and cost reduction initiatives.
Sales of valves were up for the quarter, but sales and pricing in other product lines remained generally soft due to the continuing recession in the manufacturing sector. On a positive note, the Company has begun to see a pick-up in quotation activity for its Air-X-Changers air cooler product line, which serves the oil and gas industry. While too early to suggest a turnaround in this sector, the development is seen as positive.
Other Infrastructure Products and Services -- Fourth quarter sales declined to $69 million from last year's $82 million. Operating income declined by $0.4 million to $7.5 million in the quarter. Here again, due to successful restructuring and cost control initiatives, margins before net special charges improved by 110 basis points to 10.8 percent.
The Reed Minerals product line continued to produce positive earnings growth, as did the smaller Patterson-Kelley unit. Results from Harsco Track Technologies were also above last year's quarter. The Company believes that the 2003 outlook for Harsco Track Technologies continues to be very favorable, as evidenced by increased bidding and order activity, particularly in the international arena. The remaining unit within this segment, IKG Industries, continued to be negatively affected by the decline in domestic manufacturing activity. The Company continues to reduce IKG's plant capacity and other costs to better align the business with the current depressed market conditions.
Financial Position
The Company made considerable progress in 2002 in achieving its strategic financial objectives, and met or exceeded all of its key financial management goals for the year.
$Millions Free Cash Flow (Including Asset Sales) 2002 2001 ------ ------ Cash from Operations $253.8 $240.6 Sale of Assets 63.7 35.7 Less Capital Expenditures (114.3) (156.1) Less Dividends (40.3) (38.3) ------ ------ Free Cash Flow $162.9 $81.9 ====== ====== Change From Prior Year +99%
Debt reduction in 2002 totaled $122 million. On a cash flow basis, debt was reduced by approximately $174 million, but due to appreciation of major currencies against the U.S. dollar, principally the euro and British pound sterling, the translated balance sheet reduction in debt was $122 million. Since peaking in July 2000, the Company has reduced its debt by approximately $256 million or 29 percent. The Company's debt-to-capital ratio, excluding the non-cash pension adjustment to shareholders' equity, stood at 44.5 percent at December 31, 2002, a notable improvement over last year's 52.4 percent. Including the pension adjustment, the debt-to-capital ratio at year-end 2002 was 49.8 percent.
The Company's initiatives to reduce its overall capital employed and increase EVA also produced positive results. During 2002, cash generated from operations and asset sales, less capital expenditures and dividends, resulted in free cash flow of $163 million, a 99 percent increase from 2001. Also, capital expenditures were reduced by 27 percent to $114 million, due in part to the Company's successful redeployment of underutilized equipment, principally in the Mill Services segment. An additional $64 million was generated from the sale of assets.
"We are pleased with the progress we have made regarding EVA in 2002, our first full year under this formalized, company-wide management and financial discipline," Mr. Hathaway said. "Average capital employed was reduced and a positive change in EVA was recorded in three of our four business segments. Unfortunately, the difficult market conditions in Access Services resulted in an EVA decline for this segment, and for the Company as a whole in 2002. We will continue our aggressive efforts to reduce our capital employed and increase EVA in 2003, and look forward to a successful year."
Pension Liabilities
The Company recorded a $147 million non-cash, net-of-tax reduction to shareholders' equity in the fourth quarter of 2002 to reflect the additional minimum liability under its pension plans. As fully detailed in the Company's third quarter 2002 earnings release and its corresponding 10-Q filing, this reduction was as a result of the under-funded position that arose, principally in the Company's U. K. pension plan, due to the adverse performance of the financial markets. The decline in pension asset values and changes in actuarial assumptions will result in additional pre-tax pension expense in 2003 in the area of $20 million, or approximately $0.34 per share.
As a result of plan amendments, a re-measurement of the U.K. pension plan was made in the fourth quarter of 2002 that will result in the restoration to shareholders' equity of approximately $20 million net-of-taxes from the original $147 million reduction. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require this re-measurement restoration to be recorded as of March 31, 2003.
Outlook
The first quarter is traditionally the Company's slowest period. Consistent with previous guidance, the Company expects its first quarter 2003 earnings per share to be down from the prior year period, due to continuing difficult economic conditions in its Access Services and manufacturing businesses, and the inclusion of increased pension expense. Going forward, the Company expects to show gradually improving year-over-year performance as the benefits of its cost reduction and organic growth initiatives are realized. "We are no longer relying on an economic upturn in 2003," Mr. Hathaway said. "Our near-term strategies will be to continue our aggressive cost reduction efforts in line with current economic and market realities and at the same time, accelerate our investments in organic growth opportunities in our core business sectors."
The Company expects first quarter 2003 earnings from continuing operations, excluding any net special items but including an estimated $0.10 per share increase in pension expense, will be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24 per share.
As previously disclosed, increased pension expense will negatively affect the Company's reported performance in each quarter of 2003.
The Company expects full-year 2003 diluted earnings from continuing operations, excluding any net special items but including an estimated $0.34 per share increase in pension expense, will be in the range of the current Wall Street consensus estimates of $2.25 to $2.36 per share.
