TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -
- Second quarter revenue of $326.9 million increased by 5% from the $312.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2012 and increased by 24% from the $264.5 million reported in the second quarter a year ago.
- EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 was $35.0 million, essentially unchanged from the prior year but reduced by $7.6 million from the first quarter of 2012 as a result of unfavourable changes in revenue mix plus costs incurred to start up the unprecedented volume of new business in the Company's Asia Pacific operations.
- Net income (attributable to shareholders of the Company) in the second quarter was $21.4 million (or $0.30 per share diluted) compared with net income of $15.7 million (or $0.21 per share diluted) in the second quarter of the prior year
"During the second quarter of 2012, ShawCor's new order backlog increased a further 11.5% from the beginning of the quarter to reach a new record level of $749 million. This backlog level has more than doubled over the past 12 months as a result of the award of a number of significant new pipe coating contracts" said Bill Buckley, President and CEO of ShawCor Ltd.
Mr. Buckley added "The Company undertook significant efforts in the second quarter in order to prepare our facilities for the launch of the major projects that have produced our record order backlog. With production on several of these orders now underway, the Company is confident that strong year over year growth in revenue and profit will be reported commencing in the third quarter of 2012 and continuing through 2013."

1.0 OUTLOOK
The Company's success in securing new contract awards and achieving a record order backlog at the end of June 30, 2012, positions ShawCor for strong growth in revenue and profit in 2012 and 2013. The outlook for market activity in the Company's Pipeline segment by region and in the Petrochemical and Industrial segment is outlined below:
Pipeline Segment - North America
The Company expects that revenues from the pipeline segment businesses in North America in the second half of 2012 will be consistent with the first half, with growth in activity from businesses connected to well drilling and completions and various large diameter pipe coating projects in Canada, offsetting the reduction in offshore activity following the completion of the Jack St. Malo project. The Company's Oil Country Tubular Goods ("OCTG") pipe services, spoolable composite pipe and small diameter pipe coating businesses are expected to recover from the impact of reduced activity during the second quarter related to spring break-up in Western Canada. Although these businesses remain subject to the risk that a sustained decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices could curtail well drilling and completions, the Company is well positioned to continue to gain market share. In this regard, ShawCor's Guardian OCTG pipe inspection and refurbishment business has now commenced an expansion into the Eagleford region of Texas where it has completed an acquisition and will be establishing a full services centre.
Pipeline Segment - Latin America
The steady recovery in revenue in the Company's Latin America region that has been underway since the first half of 2011 will accelerate commencing in the third quarter with the launch of full production at the Company's mobile concrete coating site in Trinidad where ShawCor will execute a project for Technip with a contract value that now exceeds $90 million. Adding to this momentum is the recently awarded Linea 5 project, with a booked value in excess of $40 million, that is also expected to reach full production in the third quarter at the Company's concrete coating facility in Mexico. With these orders now in production, the Company is confident that the Latin America region will be a key source of revenue and profit growth in the second half of 2012.
Pipeline Segment - EMAR
During the first half of 2012, the Company's Europe, Middle East, Africa, Russia ("EMAR") region experienced strong project revenues from the pipe coating facilities in Orkanger, Norway and Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Revenue at these two operations will decline modestly in the second half as the $45 million Barzan project at Ras Al Khaimah is completed.
Pipeline Segment - Asia Pacific
The Company's Asia Pacific region is on schedule to commence full production of the Pearl Energy and Wheatstone gas supply trunk line pipeline projects in the third quarter and the Ichthys gas export pipeline in the fourth quarter. With product quality tests complete, customer approvals in hand, and pipe receipt well underway, the Company's facilities in Malaysia and Indonesia are expected to be operating at record volume levels in the second half of 2012 with resulting strong operating margins. Based on booked orders, this level of activity is expected to be sustained throughout 2013 and into 2014.
Petrochemical and Industrial Segment
ShawCor's Petrochemical and Industrial segment businesses are significantly exposed to demand in the North American and European automotive and industrial markets. As a result, the onset of recession in Europe and any deceleration of economic activity in North America will negatively impact segment revenue and profit. Although order backlogs continue to be at high levels, the prospect for a weakening trend has increased and the Company will be focused on seeking to capture market opportunities in areas less sensitive to the performance of the developed economies, such as growth in Asia at the DSG-Canusa China facility and the demand for highly engineered wire and cable systems related to continued oil sands development.
Order Backlog
The Company's order backlog consists of firm customer orders only and represents the revenue the Company expects to realize on booked orders over the succeeding twelve months. The Company reports the twelve month billable backlog because it provides a leading indicator of significant changes in consolidated revenue. As a result of the Company's success in securing new contract orders, the order backlog has increased to a new record level of $749 million at June 30, 2012, up 11.5% from $672 million at the start of the second quarter and more than double the level reported one year ago. This order backlog supports our outlook for improved performance in the quarters ahead.

Operating Margin(a) | 7.0% | 9.9% | 8.6% | 8.4% | 9.7% |
(a) Operating Margin is defined as Operating Income divided by revenue. |
Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
Operating Income increased by $0.1 million, from $22.7 million during the second quarter of 2011 to $22.8 million during the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit increased by $19.0 million but was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administration expenses ("SG&A") of $14.5 million and a foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2012 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Higher revenue, as explained above, generated the increased gross profit, partially offset by a 1.0 percentage point decrease in gross margin, mainly driven by product and project mix and mobilization and ramp up expenses incurred in Asia Pacific for major project activity slated for the next several quarters.
SG&A expenses increased by $14.5 million compared with the second quarter of 2011 with two factors accounting for the increase. First, SG&A expenses were higher year over year due to a $11.6 million increase in salaries, other personnel related costs and management incentive compensation, as a result of the acquisition of CSI, additions to support anticipated growth, and the mobilization and ramp up in Asia Pacific of major project activity. Secondly, rental costs were higher by $1.8 million due to additional site requirements for the Dragon Cigma project in Trinidad and the Wheatstone and Ichthys projects in Asia Pacific.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
Operating Income decreased by $8.1 million from the first quarter of 2012 to $22.8 million during the second quarter of 2012, with gross profit decreasing by $4.9 million and SG&A expenses increasing by $2.6 million.
The decrease in gross profit resulted from a decrease in gross margin of 3.2 percentage points, driven primarily by an unfavourable change in product and project mix combined with mobilization and ramp up expenses incurred in Asia Pacific for major product activity slated for the next several quarters.
SG&A expenses increased by $2.6 million compared with the first quarter of 2012. SG&A expenses were higher in the second quarter of 2012 due to a $4.2 million increase in salaries, other personnel related costs and management incentive compensation, to support anticipated growth and the mobilization and ramp up in Asia Pacific of major project activity. This was partially offset by $1.9 million in restructuring charges for the Leith, Scotland and Kembla Grange, Australia facilities recorded in the first quarter of 2012.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
Operating Income increased by $0.9 million from the six month period ended June 30, 2011 to $53.7 million during the comparable period in 2012, with gross profit increasing by $32.4 million on higher revenues, as explained above, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $24.9 million and a foreign exchange loss of $1.2 million recorded in 2012 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $5.7 million in 2011.
The increase in gross profit resulted from higher revenue of $95.2 million, as explained above, coupled with a 0.4 percentage point lower gross profit margin due to product and project mix and costs relating to the mobilization and ramp up of activity in Trinidad and Asia Pacific, as explained above.
SG&A expenses increased by $24.9 million in 2012 compared to 2011, with two factors accounting for the increase. First, SG&A expenses were higher year over year due to an $18.5 million increase in salaries, other personnel related costs and management incentive compensation, as a result of the acquisition of CSI and other additions to support anticipated growth and mobilization and ramp up in Trinidad and Asia Pacific. These mobilizations also necessitated an increase in equipment repairs and higher rental costs of $4.0 million. Finally, restructuring charges amounting to $1.9 million for the Leith, Scotland and Kembla Grange, Australia facilities were recorded in the first quarter of 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
In the second quarter of 2012, net finance income was $0.6 million, compared to a net finance cost of $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2011, as a result of lower accretion expense on certain non-current liabilities, no interest expense on long term debt and higher interest income on short-term deposits.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
In the second quarter of 2012, net finance income was $0.6 million, compared to a net finance cost of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2011, as a result of lower accretion expense on certain non-current liabilities and higher interest income on short-term deposits.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
In the six months ended June 30, 2012, net finance income was $0.2 million, compared to a net finance cost of $2.2 million during the comparable period of 2011, as a result of lower accretion expense on certain non-current liabilities, no interest expense on long term debt and higher interest income on short-term deposits.
2.4 Income Taxes
Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.3 million (17% of income before income taxes) in the second quarter of 2012, compared to an income tax expense of $2.2 million (12% of income before income taxes) in the second quarter of 2011. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 was lower than the Company's expected effective income tax rate of 27%, due to the significant portion of the Company's taxable income that was earned in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and other jurisdictions where the expected tax rate is 25% or less. In addition, the second quarter included reversals of tax reserves as a result of the favourable settlement of certain items in dispute with tax authorities. The effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was much lower than the expected tax rate of 27% because it included the benefit resulting from the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets as a result of the reorganization of the corporate structure in certain foreign jurisdictions.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.3 million (17% of income before income taxes) in the second quarter of 2012, compared to an income tax expense of 7.6 million (24% of income before income taxes) in the first quarter of 2012. The effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 was much lower than in the first quarter of 2012 due to the reversal of tax reserves resulting from the favourable settlement of certain items in dispute with tax authorities.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $11.9 million (21% of income before income taxes) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to an income tax expense of $9.3 million (21% of income before income taxes) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for the six months ending June 30, 2012 is much lower than the expected income tax rate of 27% for the reasons discussed above.

Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
Revenue in the second quarter of 2012 was $287.9 million, an increase of $57.3 million, or 25%, over the second quarter of 2011. This was driven by significant volume improvements in EMAR, North America and Latin America, partially offset by marginally lower activity in Asia Pacific :
- In North America, revenue increased by $18.5 million, or 14%, as a result of growth in flexible composite pipe and small diameter pipe coating sales, significantly increased activity from the Jack St. Malo project and increased market share in tubular management services. These increases were partially offset by lower large diameter activity in Canada and pipe weld inspection volumes in the US.
- Revenue in Latin America increased by $15.0 million as a result of the start of production at the Dragon Cigma project in Trinidad, plus increased activity in Brazil and Mexico.
- EMAR revenue increased by $25.3 million, or 58%, due to increased volume from the Barzan project at Ras Al Khaimah, UAE ("RAK") and increased project activity in Orkanger, Norway.
- In Asia Pacific, revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2011, mainly due to a reduction in major project activity compared with the prior year, when the South Mahakam and Macedon projects in Kabil, Indonesia, and the Gazprom Kirinskoe and PNG LNG projects in Kuantan, Malaysia had all been in full production, partially offset by the M9 Zawtika project at Kabil, Indonesia.
Operating Income in the second quarter of 2012 was $26.3 million compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $7.9 million, or 43%, primarily due to the increase in revenue as explained above, partially offset by lower gross margin and an increase in SG&A expenses as explained in section 1.2 above.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
Revenue was $287.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $13.0 million, or 5%, from $274.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. Activity levels in EMAR, Asia Pacific and Latin America were higher in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease in North America revenue:
- Revenue in North America decreased by $8.3 million, or 5%, due to a decline in small diameter project activity in Canada, lower sales of flexible composite pipe and tubular management services compared to the first quarter, partially offset by increased volumes from the Jack St. Malo, Cardon IV, Bakken and South Bend projects.
- In Latin America, revenue was higher by $7.1 million, or 47%, due to the start of production on the Dragon Cigma project in Trinidad, and increased activity in Mexico.
- EMAR revenue increased by $10.2 million, or 17%, primarily due to increased volumes from the Barzan project in RAK and the Tordis project in Orkanger, Norway, partially offset by lower activity at the Leith, Scotland facility.
- Revenue in Asia Pacific increased by $4.0 million, or 8%, due to increased volumes from the M9 Zawtika project partially offset by lower activity at the Kuantan, Malaysia facility.
Operating Income in the second quarter of 2012 was $26.3 million compared to $37.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 30%, with the operating margin decreasing by 4.6 percentage points to 9.1%. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to a 4.2 percentage point decrease in gross profit margin due to unfavourable changes in project mix and mobilization and ramp up in Asia Pacific of major project activity, and an increase in SG&A expenses, as explained in section 1.2.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
Revenue in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was $562.8 million, an increase of $85.7 million, or 18%, from $477.1 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Activity levels in North America, EMAR and Latin America were significantly higher in 2012 compared to 2011, partially offset by a decrease in Asia Pacific revenue:
- Revenue in North America increased by $57.6 million, or 24%, due to increased sales of small diameter pipe coating, flexible composite pipe, tubular management services and increased activity on the Jack St. Malo project, partially offset by lower large diameter pipe coating and pipe weld inspection service revenue.
- In Latin America, revenue was higher by $26.5 million, or 255%, due to higher activity levels on the P55 Risers project in Brazil, the Dragon Cigma project in Trinidad and at the Veracruz and Monterrey facilities in Mexico.
- EMAR revenue increased by $15.5 million, or 14%, primarily due to increased activity levels in RAK and Orkanger, Norway, partially offset by the reduction in volumes at the Leith, Scotland facility.
- Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased by $13.9 million, or 12%, in 2012, mainly due to a reduction in major project activity compared with the prior year, when the South Mahakam and Macedon projects in Kabil, Indonesia, and the Gazprom Kirinskoe, Yamal Europe Gas Pipeline and PNG LNG projects in Kuantan, Malaysia had all been in full production, partially offset by the M9 Zawtika project at Kabil, Indonesia.
Operating Income for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was $63.9 million compared to $53.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $10.8 million, or 20%. The increase in operating income is due to higher gross profit due to the increase in revenue as explained above, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses, as explained in section 1.2.

Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
Revenue increased in the second quarter by $3.7 million, or 10 %, to $39.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to increased heat shrinkable product shipments in North America and higher shipments of wire and cable products to the oil sands markets.
Operating Income of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 increased by $1.0 million or 21%, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to the higher revenue as explained above and a 1.2 percentage point increase in operating margin due to improved overhead absorption from better facility utilization.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
In the second quarter of 2012, revenue totaled $39.5 million compared to $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $1.8 million, or 5%. The increase was driven by higher shipments of wire and cable products to the oil sands market, partially offset by lower revenues in the EMAR automotive market.
Operating Income in the second quarter of 2012 was $5.4 million compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased gross profit from the higher sales as explained above.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
Revenue increased in the six months ended June 30, 2012 by $8.1 million, or 12%, to $77.3 million compared to the comparable period in 2011 due to increased shipments of wire and cable products to the oil sands market combined with increased heat shrinkable product shipments in North America.
Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $10.5 million compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.5 million, or 31%. The increase was primarily due to increased gross profit from the higher revenue as explained above.
3.3 Financial and Corporate
Financial and corporate costs include corporate expenses not allocated to the operating segments and other non-operating items, including foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign currency denominated cash and working capital balances. The corporate division of the Company only earns revenue that is considered incidental to the activities of the Company. As a result, it does not meet the definition of a reportable operating segment as defined under IFRS.
The following table sets forth the Company's unallocated financial and corporate expenses, before foreign exchange gains and losses, for the following periods:

Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011
Financial and corporate costs increased by $3.9 million from $4.6 million during the second quarter of 2011 to $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2012, mainly due to higher personnel related expenses and higher management incentive compensation expenses in 2012 as compared to 2011.
Second Quarter 2012 versus First Quarter 2012
Financial and corporate costs decreased by $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2012 to $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to the reclassification of decommissioning obligation costs to the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment in the second quarter of 2012, which were previously recorded in the Financial and Corporate segment in the first quarter of 2012.
Six Months ended June 30, 2012 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2011
Financial and corporate costs increased by $5.3 million from the six month period ended June 30, 2011 to $19.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to personnel related expenses and higher management incentive compensation expenses in the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011.
4.0 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This document includes certain statements that reflect management's expectations and objectives for the Company's future performance, opportunities and growth, which statements constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. Such statements, other than statements of historical fact, are predictive in nature or depend on future events or conditions. Forward looking information involves estimates, assumptions, judgments and uncertainties. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as ″may″, ″will″, ″should″, ″anticipate″, ″expect″, ″believe″, ″predict″, ″estimate″, ″continue″, ″intend″, ″plan″ and variations of these words or other similar expressions. Specifically, this document includes forward looking information in the Outlook section and elsewhere in respect of, among other things, the timing of major project activity, the impact of the existing order backlog and other factors on the Company's revenue, the impact of global economic activity on the demand for the Company's products, the impact of changing energy demand, supply and prices, the impact and likelihood of changes in competitive conditions in the markets in which the Company participates, the impact of changing laws for environmental compliance on the Company's capital and operating costs, and the adequacy of the Company's existing accruals in respect thereof and in respect of litigation matters generally, the level of payments under the Company's performance bonds, the outlook for revenue and operating income and the expected development in the Company's order backlog.
Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted by the forward-looking information. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward looking information as a number of factors could cause actual events, results and prospects to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward looking information. Significant risks facing the Company include, but are not limited to: changes in global or regional economic activity and changes in energy supply and demand, which impact on the level of drilling activity and pipeline construction; exposure to product and other liability claims; shortages of or significant increases in the prices of raw materials used by the Company; compliance with environmental, trade and other laws; political, economic and other risks arising from the Company's international operations; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, as well as other risks and uncertainties, as more fully described under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's annual MD&A.
These statements of forward looking information are based on assumptions, estimates and analysis made by management in light of its experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments as well as other factors believed to be reasonable and relevant in the circumstances. These assumptions include those in respect of continued global economic recovery, increased investment in global energy infrastructure, the Company's ability to execute projects under contract, the continued supply of and stable pricing for commodities used by the Company, the availability of personnel resources sufficient for the Company to operate its businesses and the maintenance of operations in major oil and gas producing regions. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking information are based on reasonable assumptions in light of currently available information. However, should one or more risks materialize or should any assumptions prove incorrect, then actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking information included in this document and the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved.
When considering the forward looking information in making decisions with respect to the Company, readers should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. The Company does not assume the obligation to revise or update forward looking information after the date of this document or to revise it to reflect the occurrence of future unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
