Actuant Reports Improved Second Quarter Results; Updates Full Year Guidance

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Actuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announced results for its second quarter ended February 28, 2011.

Highlights

    --  43% year-over-year increase in diluted earnings per share from
        continuing operations ("EPS") from $0.21 to $0.30 (excluding prior year
        restructuring costs - see attached reconciliation of earnings).
    --  Strong sales momentum continued, with a 13% year-over-year increase in
        core revenue (total sales less the impact of acquisitions, divestitures
        and foreign currency rate changes).
    --  Year-over-year operating profit margin expansion of 90 basis points,
        excluding prior year restructuring costs.
    --  Solid capital and debt leverage positions with over $500 million of
        unused borrowing capacity under the recently amended and expanded credit
        agreement.
    --  Completion of the previously announced Mastervolt acquisition and
        divestiture of the European Electrical business, which repositions the
        Electrical segment toward higher growth and profitability.

Robert C. Arzbaecher, Chairman and CEO of Actuant commented, "Actuant had a good second quarter and remains on track to meet full year financial expectations. During the seasonally weak second quarter, demand levels continued to be strong across many markets, resulting in a robust 13% increase in core sales. Operating margins expanded, the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. The higher sales, coupled with solid margin improvement, drove EPS to the top of our second quarter guidance range. In addition to improved financial results this quarter, we finalized the sale of European Electrical and the acquisition of Mastervolt, repositioning our Electrical segment's growth, margin and innovation trajectory. In summary, we are pleased with Actuant's fiscal 2011 first half accomplishments."

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Consolidated sales for the second quarter were $331 million, 24% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. Core sales increased 13% with acquisitions contributing an additional 11% growth. Earnings and EPS from continuing operations in the fiscal 2011 second quarter were $22.1 million and $0.30, respectively, compared to $7.9 million and $0.11 in the comparable prior year quarter. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 included pre-tax restructuring costs (including those reported in cost of products sold) of $10.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. Excluding this item, fiscal 2011 second quarter EPS from continuing operations of $0.30 was 43% higher than the $0.21 in the prior year. (See attached reconciliation of earnings.)

Sales for the six months ended February 28, 2011 were $649 million, 20% higher than the $540 million in the comparable prior year period. Excluding the impact of the stronger US dollar (-1%) and acquisitions (+8%), year-to-date core sales increased 13%. Earnings and EPS from continuing operations for the six months ended February 28, 2011 were $48.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $21.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Year-to-date fiscal 2010 results included pre-tax restructuring costs (including those reported in cost of products sold) of $12.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Excluding this item, current year first half diluted EPS grew 57% to $0.66, from $0.42 for the comparable prior year period. (See attached reconciliation of earnings.)

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations represent the results for the European Electrical business for all periods presented. The $14.2 million ($0.19 per diluted share) second quarter loss primarily reflects the loss on the sale of European Electrical on February 28, 2011.

Second quarter fiscal 2011 Industrial segment sales were $89 million, 28% higher than the prior year. Excluding foreign currency rate changes (+1%), and the benefit of the Integrated Solutions (IS) acquisitions (+12%), Industrial segment core sales increased 15%. The strong growth, despite the normal seasonal slowdown from the first to second quarter, was driven by continued robust global demand across nearly all served markets. Despite margin expansion in the base business, adjusted operating profit margins were slightly lower than the prior year due to unfavorable acquisition related sales mix.

Fiscal 2011 second quarter year-over-year Energy segment sales increased 14% to $62 million. Excluding the 9% contribution from acquisitions, core sales increased 5% due primarily to higher activity levels in emerging markets and improving seismic and umbilical market demand. Current year second quarter adjusted operating profit margins improved 60 basis points year-over-year due to margin leverage on the higher volumes.

(3) Excludes restructuring costs of $1.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010.

Electrical segment fiscal 2011 second quarter sales were $70 million, 28% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. Excluding the Mastervolt acquisition (30%), core sales declined 2% due to lower DIY retail and commercial construction activity. Second quarter adjusted operating profit margin of 7.0% includes higher input costs as well as unfavorable acquisition mix. Mastervolt's results reflect normal second quarter seasonal weakness.

(4) Excludes restructuring costs of $2.0 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010.

Second quarter fiscal 2011 Engineered Solutions segment sales increased 23% from the prior year to $110 million. Excluding the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar (-2%), year-over-year core sales grew 25%. Second quarter sales reflected strong demand from the global heavy-duty truck, agriculture, construction equipment and defense markets. Second quarter adjusted operating margins increased 550 basis points year-over-year due to margin leverage on the higher volumes and restructuring driven cost reductions.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $8.3 million, approximately equal to the first quarter. The increase of approximately $2.7 million from the prior year was due to higher 401(k), salary and incentive compensation costs compared to last year's recessionary levels, as well as growth and acquisition investments.

Financial Position

Net debt at February 28, 2011 was $468 million (total debt of $508 million less $40 million of cash), an increase of $145 million from the beginning of the quarter. During the quarter, the Company deployed approximately $158 million of capital to fund the Mastervolt acquisition, incurred $5 million of debt issuance costs for upsizing and extending its senior credit agreement and received approximately $5 million in proceeds from the divestiture of European Electrical. Cash flow from operations of $14 million during the quarter improved modestly from the prior year, and reflected a net investment in working capital during the quarter to support business growth.

Outlook

Arzbaecher added, "At the mid-point of fiscal 2011, we are pleased with our financial performance, notably year-over-year year-to-date EPS growth in excess of 50%, excluding prior year restructuring costs. While we expect second half fiscal 2011 year-over-year core sales growth and margin expansion to moderate, overall sales and earnings will continue to grow reflecting sales momentum and the Mastervolt acquisition. Our core sales growth on a year-to-date basis has benefitted from positive global economic conditions. However, these same factors, as well as foreign currency rate changes, have put upward pressure on material and other input costs which we have effectively mitigated to date.

After considering all factors, we are moving our sales and earnings guidance toward the high end of prior guidance ranges. We now expect full year fiscal 2011 revenue of $1.400-$1.425 billion and EPS from continuing operations of $1.50-$1.60. At the mid-point, this represents a 44% improvement over fiscal 2010 results, excluding prior year restructuring costs. Our full year free cash flow forecast remains $140-$150 million, and reflects free cash flow to net earnings conversion in excess of 100%.

We expect third quarter sales to be in the $375-$385 million range. EPS from continuing operations is expected to improve nearly 30% at the mid-point, from $0.35 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 (excluding restructuring charges) to a range of $0.42-$0.47.

With the solid performance during the first half of our fiscal year and positive market trends, we are optimistic about Actuant's future. We remain focused on our long-term organic and acquisition driven growth strategies. Our acquisition pipeline is robust and with our strong cash flow and borrowing capacity, we are well positioned financially to capitalize on growth opportunities."

FOOTNOTES

NOTE: The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to
      rounding.

      As a result of the global economic downturn in 2009, the Company
      implemented various restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing its cost
      structure and improving operational performance. These restructuring
      actions were substantially completed at August 31, 2010. Fiscal 2011 first
(1)   and second quarter operating results include $461 and $359 of restructuring
      charges, respectively, which are included in segment operating profit,
      EBITDA and earnings per share, as the amounts are not significant. However,
      fiscal 2010 operating profit, EBITDA and earnings per share amounts exclude
      restructuring charges for comparability purposes.

      A summary of restructuring charges included in cost of products sold is as
      follows:

                     FISCAL 2010                        FISCAL 2011

      products sold

      Net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring charges
      (2010 only), income tax adjustments and discontinued operations represent
      net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated
      Statements of Earnings net of charges or credits for items to be
(2)   highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures should not be
      considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share
      as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this
      presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating
      results of the current portfolio of Actuant companies. The total of the
      individual components may not equal due to rounding.

      EBITDA represents net earnings before financing costs, net, income tax
      expense, depreciation & amortization and discontinued operations. EBITDA is
      not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles
      (GAAP). The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are
      derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
      Earnings data. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net
      earnings or operating profit as an indicator of the Company's operating
(3)   performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of
      liquidity. Actuant has presented EBITDA because it regularly reviews this
      as a measure of the company's ability to incur and service debt. In
      addition, EBITDA is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is
      presented as a convenience to them. However, the EBITDA measure presented
      may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
      companies due to differences in the components of the calculation. The
      total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to
      rounding.
