Walter Industries Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Results


TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Walter Industries, Inc. today reported a fourth quarter loss of $73.4 million, or $1.88 per share, and full-year 2005 net income of $7.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. The loss of $1.88 per share for the quarter was within the previously communicated expectation range of a $1.80 to $1.90 loss per share. Full-year earnings of $0.18 per diluted share were also within the previously communicated range of $0.15 to $0.25 per diluted share.

The Company recorded an operating loss for the fourth quarter of $40.8 million, compared with operating income in the same period in 2004 of $29.2 million. Excluding certain pre-tax charges of $167.5 million (see attached supplemental data), non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled $126.7 million. In this press release, the term "non-GAAP" refers to an adjustment to GAAP measures based on the applicable portion of the $167.5 million of pre-tax charges. Results for the current quarter reflect significant income improvements at Natural Resources and U.S. Pipe, primarily due to strong year-over-year pricing in both segments. Current quarter results also include non-GAAP operating income from Mueller and Anvil of $52.7 million, which excludes acquisition-related charges of $64.3 million.

The Company also announced that it increased the expected operating income synergies from integrating Mueller and U.S. Pipe from a previous range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million to a new range of $40.0 million to $50.0 million. The revised synergy benefits, which are expected to be realized on a run-rate basis over the next two years, were increased due to better than expected cost savings from the shutdown of U.S. Pipe's Chattanooga facility combined with Mueller and Anvil plant consolidation and rationalization activities.

"We are very pleased with Mueller's operating results, which were driven by strong volumes and improved valve and hydrant margins," said Walter Industries Chairman and CEO Gregory E. Hyland. "The integration of Mueller and U.S. Pipe has also progressed extremely well and we have determined that the original synergy benefits forecast should be increased substantially."

Hyland added, "2005 was a landscape-changing year for Walter Industries as we aggressively pursued our transformation and value creation strategy, and also generated significant revenue and earnings momentum from our Natural Resources and Water Products businesses. Our value creation strategy continues in 2006 as we move forward with the IPO and eventual spin-off of our Water Products business, as well as the evaluation of strategic alternatives for our remaining businesses."

Results for the quarter on a non-GAAP basis were $1.48 per diluted share, which compares to the previously expected range of $1.45 to $1.55 per diluted share. Full-year 2005 earnings on a non-GAAP basis were $3.18 per diluted share, compared with the previously communicated range of $3.10 to $3.20 per diluted share.

Fourth Quarter 2005 Financial Results

Net sales and revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $801.2 million, up from $391.0 million in 2004. Excluding Mueller and Anvil revenues of $309.3 million, fourth quarter revenues improved 25.8% on a year-over-year basis, primarily driven by higher metallurgical coal pricing and increases in ductile iron pipe pricing and shipments.

On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $126.7 million, or $97.5 million higher than the prior-year period. The improvement in operating income was primarily due to the first-time inclusion of Mueller and Anvil results in the Company's fourth quarter, increased pricing for metallurgical coal and improved operating margins at U.S. Pipe. These favorable impacts were partially offset by charges related to the temporary idling of Mine No. 5 and Mine No. 7, which increased average production costs at Natural Resources.

Full-Year 2005 Financial Results

Net sales and revenues for 2005 totaled $2.1 billion, including fourth quarter revenue from the Mueller and Anvil segments of $309.3 million. Excluding Mueller and Anvil, revenue grew by $195.5 million, or 12.6%, principally due to an increase in metallurgical coal and ductile iron pipe prices.

Operating income for the full year totaled $83.7 million, compared with $75.8 million in 2004. Non-GAAP operating income was $251.2 million, an improvement of $175.4 million versus 2004. The year-over-year improvement reflects the addition of $52.7 million in non-GAAP operating income contributed by Mueller and Anvil, plus a dramatic increase in profitability at Jim Walter Resources and significant income growth at U.S. Pipe. These stronger operating results were partially offset by higher material and production costs at Natural Resources and U.S. Pipe, and $6.6 million of incremental hurricane-related charges at Financing.

Fourth Quarter Results by Operating Segment Natural Resources

The Natural Resources segment reported fourth quarter revenue of $170.3 million, up 49.3% versus the year-ago period, primarily due to higher metallurgical coal selling prices and higher natural gas prices, partially offset by lower steam coal shipments and lower natural gas volumes in the current-year period. Operating income for the quarter was $51.7 million, which exceeded the prior-year period by 53.8%. The income improvement versus the prior-year period was primarily driven by increased metallurgical coal pricing, partially offset by $3.0 million of idle mine costs at Mine No. 5 and $2.7 million of expenses related to adverse geologic conditions in Mine No. 7, both of which were resolved in the fourth quarter.


Jim Walter Resources sold 1.49 million tons of coal at an average price of $99.18 per ton in the fourth quarter, compared to 1.61 million tons at an average price of $62.10 in the prior-year period. The natural gas operation sold 1.70 billion cubic feet of gas in the fourth quarter at an average price of $10.54 per thousand cubic feet, compared to sales of 1.93 billion feet at an average price of $6.61 per thousand cubic feet in the prior-year quarter.

Mueller and Anvil

Walter Industries acquired Mueller and Anvil on Oct. 3, 2005 and, therefore, this will be the first time they have been included in the Company's segment and consolidated results. However, in an effort to enhance comparability and evaluate calendar fourth quarter period-to-period performance, variance explanations refer to a pro forma calendar fourth quarter prior-year period, even though pro forma data is not included in the actual reported segment or consolidated results.

Revenue for the Mueller and Anvil segments totaled $309.3 million for the quarter, up from the prior-year period total of $256.1 million, primarily due to higher valve and hydrant volumes and higher selling prices of Mueller's butterfly valves, hydrants and brass products. Anvil also generated higher volumes of iron fittings. Non-GAAP operating income for both segments, excluding the effects of acquisition-related adjustments, was $52.7 million compared to operating income in the prior-year period of $32.2 million.

Including acquisition-related impacts, Mueller and Anvil reported an operating loss of $11.6 million in the current period fourth quarter. Operating results for the period included expected purchase accounting-related inventory step-up costs of $58.4 million and incremental ongoing intangible amortization expenses of $5.9 million.

Industrial Products (U.S. Pipe)

U.S. Pipe reported fourth quarter revenue of $172.0 million, up $30.8 million versus the prior-year period as the Company generated improvements in both pricing and volume. U.S. Pipe sold 155,804 tons of ductile iron pipe during the quarter, up 10.3% versus the prior-year period.

U.S. Pipe reported a loss in the fourth quarter 2005 of $25.6 million, compared to a loss in the prior year's fourth quarter of $0.5 million. The fourth quarter 2005 loss included $40.0 million in charges related to the announced closure of U.S. Pipe's Chattanooga valves, hydrants and fittings facility. Excluding these charges, U.S. Pipe's operating income was $14.4 million, an improvement of $14.9 million versus the prior-year as stronger margins more than offset higher natural gas costs.

Financing

Financing segment revenue for the fourth quarter was $54.8 million, down $4.9 million from the prior-year period, primarily due to a decline in the instalment note portfolio balance as a result of fewer note originations from the Homebuilding segment.

Fourth quarter operating income was $16.7 million, up $0.9 million over the prior-year period, driven by lower interest expense, a lower provision for losses and better workers compensation experience, partially offset by lower interest income. At Dec. 31, 2005, delinquencies (the percentage of amounts outstanding more than 30 days past due) were 5.2%, versus 4.9% at Dec. 31, 2004 due primarily to customer payment disruptions caused by the 2005 hurricanes.

Homebuilding

At Homebuilding, fourth quarter revenue was $65.0 million, up $11.1 million versus the year-ago period, driven primarily by an increase of 48 on-your-lot unit completions over the prior-year's fourth quarter. Homebuilding completed 641 on-your-lot homes during the fourth quarter at an average selling price of $80,300 versus 593 homes at an average selling price of $74,600 for the same period last year. Including Crestline Homes, the Company's modular home business, total unit deliveries for the quarter were 865, compared with 727 homes in the prior-year period.

Excluding the $63.2 million goodwill impairment charge, the operating loss at Homebuilding was $7.7 million, or an improvement of $0.6 million, versus the prior-year period. The fourth quarter loss reflects Homebuilding's efforts to complete and deliver lower-margin units out of its backlog, and proactively reduce the quantity of outstanding warranty-related claims. Overall, the period-over-period improvement primarily reflects the higher on-your-lot deliveries and price increases noted above.

Other

Sloss Industries generated revenue of $33.1 million, an increase of 34.1% over the prior-year period. Sloss reported operating income of $4.2 million, exceeding income in the prior-year period by $3.6 million. The revenue and income increases were due to significantly higher furnace and foundry coke pricing, partially offset by increases in metallurgical coal costs.

Parent company expenses in the fourth quarter were $4.7 million below the prior-year period, reflecting lower medical and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs. Interest expense increased by $39.8 million from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher debt balances related to the Mueller acquisition.

Restatement of Prior-Period Sales and Costs of Sales for Freight and Handling Costs

The Company announced that it will be restating its consolidated financial statements to correct the classification of certain prior-period shipping and handling costs in compliance with EITF 00-10: "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" for U.S. Pipe, Jim Walter Resources and Sloss.

The Company's long-standing method of accounting for the cost to deliver products to the customer has been to include these costs as a deduction from net sales and revenues. Such costs are now included in cost of sales.

In addition to consolidated net sales and revenues and cost of sales, this change in classification affects reported net sales and revenues of our Industrial Products, Natural Resources and Other segments. The overall impact is to increase consolidated sales and cost of sales in equal amounts for the fourth quarter and full year of 2004. More specifically, the restatement has no effect on reported operating income, net income or EPS. In total, these costs were $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $87.6 million for the full year of 2004.
