Walter Industries, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2007 Results


TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Walter Industries, Inc. today reported net income of $18.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter totaled $17.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operations of $44.2 million, or $0.86 per diluted share in the second quarter last year.

Net sales and revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter totaled $296.5 million, down from $319.0 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily a result of lower metallurgical coal sales prices and volumes at Natural Resources, as well as higher demurrage charges. These negative comparisons were partially offset by higher pricing and increased unit completions at Homebuilding.

Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter totaled $33.0 million compared to $68.9 million in the second quarter 2006. Lower operating income in the current-year period primarily reflects lower metallurgical coal pricing, worse-than-anticipated geologic conditions and lower production volumes at Jim Walter Resources' Mine No. 7, and increased operating losses at Kodiak Mining. The lower sales volumes and increases in production costs at Jim Walter Resources during the current quarter were driven by hard bottom-rock conditions on Mine No. 7's longwall panel. These adverse conditions caused significant downtime at Mine No. 7 and reduced its coal inventory available for sale. At Kodiak Mining, low productivity and a $1.5 million inventory write-off drove the unfavorable results. These negatives were partially offset by improved results at Homebuilding.

"Although we expected lower coal production volumes in the second quarter at Mine No. 7 due to the thinner coal seam toward the end of the longwall panel, conditions were more difficult than anticipated," said Jim Walter Resources CEO George R. Richmond. "In addition to the thinner coal seam, we encountered harder-than-expected rock in the floor that slowed advance rates and caused an increase in equipment downtime. These difficulties negatively affected costs and led to lower inventory levels that disrupted loading schedules, resulting in deferred shipments and excess demurrage costs."

Richmond added, "We have recently mined through the hard rock conditions and expect to move the longwall in early September. The coal seam is thicker at the beginning of Mine No. 7's longwall panels, so production volumes are expected to improve significantly after the move."

Second Quarter Results by Operating Group Natural Resources & Sloss

Natural Resources, which includes the operations of Jim Walter Resources and Kodiak Mining, reported revenues of $137.5 million in the second quarter, down $35.6 million versus the same period last year. The decline in revenues was principally driven by a $15.26 per ton reduction in metallurgical coal prices versus the prior-year period, as well as a 110,000-ton decline in coal sales volumes. Lower coal prices include the impact of reduced contract pricing and increased demurrage charges. Lower revenues also reflect a decline in natural gas volumes and pricing.

The Natural Resources segment reported operating income of $21.8 million in the second quarter, compared to $63.1 million in the prior-year period. Results in the current-year period include lower coal and gas sales volumes and pricing, higher labor costs, increased production costs at Mine No. 7 and $5.7 million of operating losses at Kodiak Mining.

Jim Walter Resources

Jim Walter Resources sold 1.3 million tons of metallurgical coal during the second quarter at an average price of $94.29 per short ton FOB port, compared to 1.4 million tons of metallurgical coal at an average price of $109.55 per short ton FOB port during the same period last year. During the current quarter, average realized sales prices were negatively affected by lower contract pricing and approximately $4.3 million of demurrage charges.

Mine No. 4 produced 0.7 million tons in the current-year period compared to 0.4 million tons in last year's second quarter, as the modified longwall shields performed as expected, preventing a recurrence of the roof control problems encountered in the prior panel. Mine No. 4's cost-per-ton was $44.62, or $10.66 better than the prior-year period, primarily driven by the improvements in production, partially offset by higher labor costs associated with the new UMWA contract.

Mine No. 7 produced 0.5 million tons in the second quarter 2007 versus 0.6 million tons in the same period last year. Longwall production decreased 230,000 tons as a result of harder-than-anticipated mine bottom rock and related equipment downtime. This decrease was partially offset by 116,000 additional continuous miner tons, primarily from the continuing development of the Southwest "A" panel.

Production costs at Mine No. 7 were $71.23 per ton versus $39.76 per ton in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting additional spending due to a shift in mix to higher-cost continuous miner tons, approximately $8.70 per ton due to lower volumes produced, and $3.50 per ton for higher UMWA contract labor costs. Three incremental continuous miner units were operated at Mine No. 7 during the second quarter versus the same period last year, two of which are developing the Southwest "A" panel. This development work increased spending by approximately $13.60 per ton at Mine No. 7 in the second quarter and will set the stage for incremental, lower-cost longwall production in 2008.

Kodiak


Kodiak incurred $5.7 million of operating losses in the second quarter, including a $1.5 million write-off of inventory from lower-than-expected yields. Difficult geological conditions, slow advance rates and a delay in adding a second planned continuous miner unit led to worse-than-projected production and higher costs. The decision to postpone the second continuous miner unit was made to allow time to rectify some of Kodiak's performance issues before committing incremental labor and equipment.

"We are disappointed with Kodiak's results to date," said Richmond. "We recently made significant changes to management, mine plans and operating procedures to improve performance. However, given Kodiak's slow start and the delay in ramping up the second continuous miner unit, we expect their production to be between 140,000 and 170,000 tons in 2007 and do not expect profitability until 2008."

Natural Gas

The natural gas operation sold 1.8 billion cubic feet of gas at an average price of $7.96 per thousand cubic feet in the second quarter 2007 versus $8.49 per thousand cubic feet in the prior-year period. Natural gas volumes were down 11.3 percent, primarily from the reduction in gas produced from the now- closed Mine No. 5 and lower gas production associated with slower advance rates at Mine No. 7. Natural gas prices realized in the current-year period include the benefit of hedging approximately 64 percent of production at an average price of $8.21 per thousand cubic feet, compared with approximately 53 percent of production hedged in the prior-year period at an average of $10.05.

Sloss

Sloss Industries generated second quarter revenues of $33.1 million, down $1.8 million from the prior-year period, and operating income of $2.9 million, up $0.9 million from the prior-year period. Results in the prior-year period included a $1.1 million asset impairment charge related to the segment's chemicals business, which was sold in November 2006.

Financing & Homebuilding

The Financing & Homebuilding group reported combined revenues of $123.2 million for the second quarter, up 11.3 percent versus the prior-year period. The strong revenue increase was primarily due to higher average on-your-lot selling prices and unit completions at Homebuilding, slightly offset by lower prepayment income at Financing.

Combined operating income was up 40.3 percent for the quarter versus last year's second quarter, primarily resulting from an improvement in gross margins at Homebuilding. These stronger gross margins were driven by improved cycle times, better pricing and lower material costs. These improvements were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses at Homebuilding and higher interest expense at Financing.

"Our Financing business continued its industry-leading performance, with delinquencies, repossessions, recovery rates and the number of 'Real Estate Owned' (REO) units all improved year over year," said Financing & Homebuilding Chief Executive Officer Mark J. O'Brien. "In addition, continued gross margin expansion and reduced construction cycle times led to significantly better results at Homebuilding as we move closer to profitability in this business."

At Financing, delinquencies on the mortgage portfolio were 3.8 percent at June 30, 2007, compared to 4.0 percent at June 30, 2006. Sequentially, delinquencies rose slightly, representing a typical seasonal increase. In addition, the number of repossessed units declined 14.2 percent and REO inventory as a percent of the total mortgage portfolio declined 13.2 percent versus the second quarter last year.

At Homebuilding, unit completions were 689 in the second quarter, up 9.0 percent versus the same period last year. Average unit net selling prices were $98,911 in the quarter, an increase of $12,121 per home versus the prior-year period. For the current period, new sales orders, net of cancellations, were 578, up 7.2 percent compared to the second quarter last year. Gross margin per unit improved approximately 530 basis points versus the second quarter last year and 170 basis points from the first quarter 2007, reflecting numerous improvements implemented to raise pricing, eliminate the backlog of low-margin units, speed up cycle times and enhance construction quality. While the backlog in units decreased 22.7 percent versus June 30, 2006, the dollar value of the backlog only declined 18.3 percent as a result of price increases.

The Company also said that the Financing business recently renewed its Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Agreement through July 28, 2008 on substantially similar terms. This $150.0 million warehouse facility provides short-term funding for instalment notes and mortgage loans originated by the Homebuilding business or purchased from third parties.

"The renewal of this facility at a time when problems in the sub-prime mortgage industry are significantly disrupting the credit markets is another indication of the strength of our mortgage portfolio and the outstanding performance of our mortgage servicing platform," said O'Brien.

Other

Results in the "Other" segment, comprised of the Company's corporate expenses and land subsidiaries, improved by approximately $0.9 million in the second quarter, driven by higher interest income.

Outlook

"While our financial results were mixed for the quarter, we made good progress on the strategic front," said Walter Industries Chairman Michael T. Tokarz. "We continue to make important investments in our Natural Resources business as we execute on our organic growth strategy to expand future production capacity. At Financing & Homebuilding, we continue to build upon the strong, consistent performance at Financing while we make further strides toward profitability at Homebuilding."

"We remain very confident in the long-term outlook for both our Natural Resources and Financing & Homebuilding businesses," Tokarz added. "We expect our Natural Resources group to benefit from strengthening in the global metallurgical coal market which is driven by continued strong demand and increasing production capacity in the global steel industry. This positive market momentum aligns with our expansion plans to significantly increase production of our high-quality, metallurgical coal product. Our Mine No. 7 East expansion remains on track to deliver significant increases in low-vol met coal production beginning in 2009."
