For the six months ended June 30, 2005 , Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of ( $3.3 ) million pre-tax [( $0.41 ) per share], including non-cash stock option expense related to the acceleration of vesting of options of ( $2.0 ) million (see discussion below in highlights section) and severance, restructuring and related charges of ( $1.3 ) million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 , Katy reported restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items of ( $1.6 ) million pre-tax [( $0.21 ) per share], including severance, restructuring and related charges of ( $1.8 ) million, costs associated with a proposed financing which Katy chose not to pursue of ( $0.4 ) million, income from the reversal of reserves related to divested businesses of $0.1 million and a gain on the sale of real estate of $0.5 million . Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2004 , Katy recorded the impact of payment-in-kind dividends earned on its convertible preferred stock of ( $6.9 ) million [( $0.88 ) per share]. Details regarding these items are provided in the 'Reconciliations of GAAP Results to Results Excluding Certain Unusual Items' accompanying this press release.
Highlights for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the same period in the prior year, included:
* Effective June 1, Anthony T. Castor III was appointed President and
Chief Executive Officer, replacing C. Michael Jacobi who retired.
* Net sales in the second quarter of 2005 were $98.2 million, down $2.3
million compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to weaker
sales in the Maintenance Products Group, partially offset by stronger
sales in the Electrical Products Group. Overall, the decrease of 2%
resulted from lower volumes of 7% offset by higher pricing of 4% and
favorable currency translation of 1%.
* Gross margins were 12.0% in the second quarter of 2005, versus 13.2%
in the second quarter of 2004. Margins were negatively impacted by
higher raw material costs, a portion of which could not be passed on
through price increases (mostly in the Electrical Products Group); and
higher operating costs in our Abrasives business unit due to
manufacturing inefficiencies resulting from i) the delayed
consolidation of the Abrasives facilities and ii) a fire at our Wrens,
Georgia facility early in the fourth quarter of 2004. These items were
only partially offset by the favorable impact of restructuring and
cost containment.
* Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.4 million lower
than the second quarter of 2004. These costs represented 14.1% of
sales in the second quarter of 2005, a decrease from 14.2% of sales
for the same period of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to cost
containment in the Maintenance Products Group partially offset by
severance costs and search fees associated with the CEO transition.
* The non-cash stock option expense of $2.0 million related to the March
2004 acceleration of vesting of options that were held by our former
CEO at that time. A substantial portion of these options were
forfeited by the former CEO upon his retirement, however. The
offsetting credit was recorded to additional paid-in capital,
resulting in no change to stockholders' equity. This charge is being
taken now, as opposed to in March 2004, due to the accounting rules
governing stock options. These rules further dictate that the charge
include the full amount of options that were held by our former CEO at
the time of acceleration of vesting, rather than the number of options
held upon his retirement.
* Debt at June 30, 2005 was $56.0 million [49% of total capitalization],
versus $62.3 million [39% of total capitalization] at June 30, 2004.
The increase in the ratio to total capitalization was principally due
to lower stockholders equity which resulted in part from the
impairment of long-lived assets of $30.8 million in the fourth quarter
of 2004. Cash on hand at June 30, 2005 was $4.1 million, versus $5.7
million at June 30, 2004.
* Katy used free cash flow of $2.5 million during the six month period
ended June 30, 2005 versus $27.8 million of free cash flow used during
the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The improvement in free
cash flow was primarily attributable to a reduction of inventory in
the first half of 2005 versus an inventory build in the first half of
2004 and lower capital expenditures. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP
financial measure, is discussed further below.
* Katy expects liquidity to generally stabilize for the remainder of
2005, with the exception of seasonal inventory builds in the
Electrical Products Group in the third quarter and increased
receivable collections in Electrical Products Group in the fourth
quarter. Other elements of working capital continue to be closely
managed. Capital expenditures are expected to be higher in the second
half of 2005 versus the first half of 2005, but overall are expected
to be lower than 2004. Katy was in compliance with the amended
covenants in the Bank of America Credit Agreement at June 30, 2005 and
expects to be in compliance for the balance of 2005.
* Katy expects to substantially complete its current restructuring
program in 2005. The remaining severance, restructuring and related
costs for these initiatives (mostly related to the consolidation of
our abrasives facilities) are expected to be less than $1.0 million.
'Despite the disappointing first half operating results, our primary
objective is to grow the businesses in the Katy family. We can do this without
having to add significant capital because our facilities are under utilized.
We are also committed to substantially complete the abrasives consolidation in
the second half of 2005, stabilize the plants and begin to maximize plant
efficiency', said Anthony T. Castor III, Katy's President and Chief Executive
Officer. 'We see significant growth opportunity and we are confident that we
can create value at Katy with increased sales and leaner plants,' added
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide transparency about measures of Katy's financial performance which management considers most relevant, we supplement the reporting of Katy's consolidated financial information under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including income (loss) from continuing operations, as adjusted; operating income (loss), as adjusted; and free cash flow. Details regarding these measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures are provided in the 'Reconciliations of GAAP Results to Results Excluding Certain Unusual Items' and 'Statements of Cash Flows' accompanying this press release. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Katy believes the presentation of these measures is nonetheless useful to investors for the following reasons:
Net Income (Loss), as adjusted and Operating Income (Loss), as adjusted. Net income (loss), as adjusted, is Katy's net income (loss) that excludes restructuring and other non-recurring and unusual items. Operating income (loss), as adjusted, is the Katy's operating income (loss) that excludes restructuring and other non-recurring and unusual items. Katy believes that its presentation of these measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its results of operations.
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined by Katy as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and cash dividends paid. Katy believes that free cash flow is useful to management and investors in measuring cash generated that is available for repayment of debt obligations, investment in growth through acquisitions, new business development and stock repurchases.
This press release may contain various forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of Katy's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the company's management. Additionally, the forward-looking statements are based on Katy's current expectations and projections about future events and trends affecting the financial condition of its business. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, detailed from time to time in Katy's filings with the SEC, that may lead to results that differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by the company or on its behalf. Katy undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
