Robbins & Myers Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Results and Increased Share Repurchase Authorization
Strong finish to a very successful year; substantial growth in FY 2011; Company ends year with $231 million of cash
DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins & Myers, Inc. (NYSE: RBN) today reported diluted net earnings per share (DEPS) of $0.77 in its fiscal fourth quarter ended August 31, 2011, which included a restructuring charge of $0.02 per share in the Company's Process Solutions segment. In the prior year fourth quarter, Robbins & Myers earned $0.45 per share or $0.38 from continuing operations, including a restructuring charge of $0.08 per share in the Process Solutions segment.
For the full fiscal year, Robbins & Myers reported DEPS of $3.24 per share and $1.94 from continuing operations. Fiscal 2011 results included $0.02 of restructuring charges and $0.42 of charges relating to the acquisition of T-3 Energy Services. In fiscal 2010, the Company earned $1.01 per share or $0.89 from continuing operations, including $0.08 of restructuring charges.
"The fourth quarter was a strong ending to a very good year at Robbins & Myers," said Peter C. Wallace, Company President and Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout the year we benefitted from strong end market demand, and sales and orders showed significant year-over-year growth. This growth, and effective cost management, enabled us to generate substantial profits and cash flow in fiscal 2011. During the year we also better positioned the Company for longer-term success through the divestiture of Romaco and the acquisition and successful integration of T-3. Fiscal 2011 was a transformative year for Robbins & Myers."
Fourth quarter 2011 orders and sales were $262 million and $259 million, respectively, as compared with $155 million and $140 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Excluding the acquisition of T-3, fourth quarter orders and sales grew 19% and 30%, respectively, from the prior year fourth quarter as a result of continued strength in served markets, particularly upstream oil & gas. Fiscal 2011 orders were $876 million, and sales were $821 million. Excluding T-3, fiscal 2011 orders and sales increased 26% and 34%, respectively, over the prior year.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company earned $53 million of adjusted EBIT, which is 20.6% of sales versus $21 million and 15.2% in the prior year fourth quarter. For the full year, adjusted EBIT more than tripled from the prior year to $158 million, which is 19.2% of sales. Fourth quarter cash flow from operating activities was $75 million, more than double the comparable prior year amount. The Company ended the year with $231 million of cash and virtually no debt.
Mr. Wallace commented, "While we continue to see strong customer demand across our end markets, global economic sentiment is uncertain. Entering the new fiscal year, we will continue to support our organic and strategic growth opportunities while closely monitoring our spending. For our first quarter in fiscal 2012 we are projecting $0.60-$0.70 per share of earnings. Under current business conditions, Robbins & Myers is positioned to earn $2.85-$3.05 per share in fiscal 2012." The Company's forecast excludes the impact of share repurchases.
Share Repurchase Authorization Increased
Robbins & Myers also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to three million of the Company's currently outstanding common shares, in addition to the 992 thousand shares currently available for repurchase under the October 2008 authorization by the Board of Directors. Repurchases will generally be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions that will not exceed prevailing market prices, subject to regulatory considerations and market conditions. Repurchases will be funded from the Company's available cash and credit facilities. The Company has approximately 45.9 million common shares outstanding.
"Recent lower equity market valuations and record levels of cash create an attractive opportunity for us to repurchase our shares," said Mr. Wallace. "We believe we have available capital resources to pursue share repurchases without disrupting our growth investments, including acquisitions. Our strategy to create long-term shareholder value remains intact."
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements represent the net income of the Romaco business for all periods presented prior to its April 29, 2011 divestiture. Discontinued operations in fiscal 2011 also include a $53 million gain (DEPS impact of $1.30 per share) from the sale of the Romaco business.
Fourth Quarter Results by Segment
All comparisons are made against the comparable year-ago quarterly period unless otherwise stated.
The Company's Fluid Management segment reported orders of $199 million. Excluding T-3, orders were $121 million, up 22% due to strength in oil & gas markets. Sales were $201 million in the fourth quarter. Excluding T-3, sales were $124 million, an increase of 33%. EBIT was $56 million or 28.1% of sales, an increase of 150 basis points. Ending backlog was $153 million, which includes $91 million from T-3, compared with $58 million at the end of the prior year fourth quarter.
The Process Solutions segment reported orders of $63 million, the highest level of quarterly orders since the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and an increase of 14%. Sales of $58 million were 25% higher due to improving demand for capital goods in global chemical markets. The business reported $1.4 million of adjusted EBIT in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $0.1 million. As part of its restructuring program in Europe, the business incurred $1 million of charges in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Backlog expanded for the eighth consecutive quarter, ending the fourth quarter of 2011 at $98 million.

EBIT (operating profit) and adjusted EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its businesses, and allocates resources to its businesses based on EBIT. EBIT and adjusted EBIT are not, however, a measure of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating results. Neither EBIT nor adjusted EBIT are measures of cash available for use by management. |
