Flow International Announces Third Quarter Results
Second Quarter of Sequential Revenue Growth
KENT, Wash., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flow International Corporation (Nasdaq: FLOW), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of industrial waterjet machines for cutting and cleaning applications, today reported results for its fiscal 2010 third quarter ended January 31, 2010.
For the quarter, Flow reported consolidated revenues of $45.4 million, a sequential increase of 8% compared to $42.0 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter. This follows the previously reported 11% sequential revenue growth in the second quarter compared to first quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue in the year-ago third quarter was $48.7 million.
The Company reported a fiscal 2010 third quarter GAAP net loss of $0.7 million or a loss of $0.02 per share, which includes a non-cash charge of $1.3 million for foreign currency adjustments primarily related to the liquidation of two dormant subsidiaries. Excluding these adjustments and the related tax effects, as well as the results of discontinued operations, pro forma net loss for the quarter was $0.3 million or $0.01 per share. This compares to a pro forma net loss of $0.2 million in the fiscal 2009 third quarter, which excludes non-recurring charges of $32.3 million related to a patent litigation settlement, a goodwill impairment charge, and severance expenses, as well as the related tax effects and the results of discontinued operations. As reported, including the above items, the year-ago quarter GAAP net loss was $21.4 million or $0.57 per share.
"This represents the second quarter of sequential growth in our revenue, and it was led by the strengthening of our Standard systems business," said Charley Brown, President and CEO of Flow. "While we feel that our business is stabilizing, we expect that, until the overall macroeconomic environment significantly improves, this stability will represent historically low levels."
Operations Review
For the fiscal 2010 third quarter:
- Standard Segment sales, which include sales of systems that do not require significant custom configuration as well as parts and services for those installed systems, were $37.0 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 18% sequentially from the fiscal year 2010 second quarter and a decrease of $4.2 million or 10% from the prior-year quarter.
- Advanced Segment sales, which include sales of complex aerospace and automation systems requiring specific custom configuration and advanced features as well as parts and services for those installed systems, were $8.3 million for the quarter as expected, a sequential decrease of $2.3 million or 22% from the fiscal year 2010 second quarter and an increase of $0.9 million or 12% from the prior-year quarter.
- Aggregate gross margin was 40.2% for the quarter, an increase from gross margin of 39.6% in the fiscal 2010 second quarter and 39.3% gross margin in the prior-year quarter.
- Total overall operating expenses for the quarter were $18.5 million. That compares to $18.7 million in the prior-year quarter, excluding $32.3 million in restructuring, impairment, and other operating charges, and to $16.9 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter, excluding the $0.6 million gain recognized on the sale of the building in Taiwan. The fiscal 2010 third quarter includes increased costs associated with the implementation of Flow's Enterprise Resource Planning system and related depreciation and amortization, and the partial reinstatement of the temporary wage reductions and employee benefits that had previously been suspended since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
