Commercial Metals Company Reports Fourth Quarter Earnings Per Share Of $0.03 And Full Year Profits Of $77.3 Million
IRVING, Texas, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended August 31, 2013. Net earnings for the fourth quarter ended August 31, 2013 were $4.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion. This compares to net earnings of $30.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion for the three months ended August 31, 2012. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 included asset impairment charges related to our Australian operations of $25.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. For the year ended August 31, 2013, net earnings were $77.3 million or $0.66 per diluted share on net sales of $6.9 billion; this compares to net earnings of $207.5 million or $1.78 per diluted share on net sales of $7.7 billion for the year ended August 31, 2012.
Joe Alvarado, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO, commented, "We are proud to report our eighth consecutive quarter of positive earnings. We took action in the fourth quarter to strengthen our Australian operations which we believe will yield benefits in the coming quarters. Furthermore, our commitment to focus on our core operations is evidenced by the previously announced sale of our copper tube manufacturing operation, Howell Metal Company."
The board of directors of CMC declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 on October 22, 2013 for shareholders of record on November 6, 2013. The dividend will be paid on November 20, 2013.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Review
For this year's fourth quarter, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $83.4 million and fourth quarter cash flow from operations was at its strongest level this fiscal year. After-tax items included in continuing operations were:
- after-tax LIFO income of $10.3 million ($0.09 per diluted share), compared to $16.9 million ($0.15 per diluted share) of after-tax LIFO income in the fourth quarter of 2012;
- impairment of goodwill and other assets and a full valuation allowance of tax net operating losses related to our Australian operations of $25.9 million ($0.22 per diluted share); and
- a tax benefit of $7.2 million ($0.06 per diluted share) related to the reorganization of our Australian legal entities.
Earnings from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.3 million ($0.00 per diluted share), which primarily consisted of earnings related to our copper tube business. We previously announced the sale of this operation for $58.5 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, which will be reflected in earnings for our first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Our Americas Recycling segment recorded an adjusted operating loss of $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, compared with an adjusted operating profit of $8.3 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. LIFO income for the segment decreased $2.8 million to $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, from $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Ferrous volumes, selling prices and margins were all slightly higher during this year's fourth quarter. However, these increases were not enough to overcome declines in nonferrous volumes and pricing resulting in a $51/ton decline in nonferrous margins. In addition, we recognized a $2.0 million loss on a long-term supply contract with a customer during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Our Americas Mills segment recorded an adjusted operating profit of $58.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with an adjusted operating profit of $63.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This segment's volumes were lower by 7% while metal margins declined 2% in the fourth quarter of 2013. LIFO income for the segment decreased $12.1 million to $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, from $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. In comparison to the sequential quarter, adjusted operating profit improved by 26% primarily as a result of higher shipments.
Our Americas Fabrication segment recorded an adjusted operating profit of $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, marking a significant improvement over the prior year's fourth quarter adjusted operating profit of $1.5 million. These results were achieved despite a $2.9 million decrease in LIFO income for the segment when compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. This segment continued to experience margin expansion as input pricing declined while transactional selling prices improved when compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Bid activity and bookings were also better in the fourth quarter of 2013 when compared to a year ago, resulting in a stronger backlog as we enter fiscal 2014.
Our International Mill segment recorded an adjusted operating profit of $8.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with an adjusted operating profit of $5.4 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. These results were also a substantial improvement over the adjusted operating loss of $3.8 million reported in the third quarter of 2013. Total shipments in the fourth quarter of 2013 fell 12% while metal margins expanded 7% when compared to the same quarter in 2012. Market conditions in Europe continued to be soft, with certain countries showing marginal signs of improvement. On a positive note, the effects of the value-added tax (VAT) circumvention schemes that have recently negatively impacted this segment should subside as the long-awaited legislation in Poland went into effect on October 1, 2013.
Our International Marketing and Distribution segment recorded an adjusted operating loss of $16.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with an adjusted operating profit of $1.5 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. The reduced profitability in the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of charges related to our Australian operations for goodwill and other asset impairments, as well as one-time exit costs to close unprofitable locations. Our U.S.-based trading divisions recorded improved results for the fourth quarter of 2013 when compared to the prior year's fourth quarter. Furthermore, our European trading division continued to suffer weakened results in response to the poor Euro zone market conditions.
Full Year 2013 Review
Net earnings from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 were $75.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. For the year ended August 31, 2013, cash flow from operations was $147.7 million and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $353.5 million. After-tax LIFO income from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 was $34.4 million ($0.29 per diluted share), compared to after-tax LIFO income of $27.1 million ($0.23 per diluted share) in fiscal 2012. As of August 31, 2013, cash and short-term investments totaled $378.8 million, an increase of 44% from the end of our 2012 fiscal year.
Earnings from discontinued operations for fiscal year 2013 were $2.4 million, which primarily consisted of earnings related to our copper tube business.
Outlook
Alvarado concluded, "We are encouraged by our ability to post another positive earnings quarter and strong cash flows even after factoring in restructuring charges recorded in our fiscal 2013 fourth quarter. From a U.S. perspective, we are further encouraged by the strength of the Architecture Billings Index (ABI), posting a 53.8 for August, the highest mark since February 2013. In addition, the ABI has been above 50 for 12 of the last 13 months which historically has been a good leading indicator of improved non-residential construction. Our International Mill segment should see an improvement in margins in light of the newly-passed legislation to curb VAT circumvention arrangements in Poland".

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands)
This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) to evaluate the financial performance of the Company. Adjusted operating profit (loss) is the sum of our earnings (loss) before income taxes, outside financing costs and discounts on sales of accounts receivable. For added flexibility, we may sell certain accounts receivable both in the U.S. and internationally. We consider sales of receivables as an alternative source of liquidity to finance our operations and believe that removing these costs provides a clearer perspective of the Company's operating performance. Adjusted operating profit (loss) may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of our earnings (loss) before income taxes, outside financing costs and net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. It also excludes the Company's largest recurring non-cash charge, depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges. As a measure of cash flow before interest expense, adjusted EBITDA is one guideline management uses to assess the Company's ability to pay its current debt obligations as they mature and as a tool to calculate possible future levels of leverage capacity. Adjusted EBITDA to interest is a covenant test in certain of the Company's debt agreements. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA is one measure used to assess the Company's unleveraged performance return on its investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for our annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans for management. Adjusted EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
