FOSTER WHEELER REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2010

 

·                  $51.7 million net income, or $0.41 per diluted share

·      Strong backlog in both business groups

·      $1.1 billion total cash position

·      Repurchased 4.3 million shares during the quarter

 

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, November 4, 2010 — Foster Wheeler AG (Nasdaq: FWLT) today reported net income for the third quarter of 2010 of $51.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with $90.0 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009.  Net income in both quarterly periods was impacted by items as detailed in the attached table.  Excluding such items from both quarterly periods, net income in the third quarter of 2010 was $50.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared with $91.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

 

Third-quarter 2010 consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $87.2 million, compared with $128.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. Consolidated EBITDA in both quarterly periods was also impacted by items as detailed in the attached table.  Excluding such items from both quarterly periods, consolidated EBITDA in the third quarter of 2010 was $85.5 million, compared with $129.9 million in the third quarter of 2009.

 

For the first nine months of 2010, net income was $182.6 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared with $285.1 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2009.  Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2010 was $288.7 million, compared with $395.7 million for the first nine months of 2009.  The nine-month periods of 2010 and 2009 included items as detailed in the attached table.

 

The following tables present quarterly and average quarterly data, both as reported and as adjusted.  The company believes that quarterly averages provide meaningful comparative relevance for certain key metrics in light of the significant quarter-to-quarter variability that is inherent in the company’s financial results.

Foster Wheeler’s Chief Executive Officer, Umberto della Sala, said, “Both of our business units are operating extremely well, but the company’s net income in the third quarter of 2010 was below the average quarter of 2009 due primarily to weaker market conditions, specifically lower volumes of work executed in each of the two operating groups — and a lower realized EBITDA margin in our Global Engineering and Construction (E&C) Group.”

·                  EBITDA in the third quarter of 2010 was lower than the average quarter of 2009 due primarily to lower volumes of work executed and lower margins on scope revenues, partially offset by the $10.9 million favorable impact of a settlement fee resulting from a third-party decision not to proceed with a power plant development project and the related prospective EPC contract.

·                  New orders booked in Foster Wheeler scope were modestly below the average quarter of 2009 but remained robust, consisting primarily of numerous mid-size and smaller contract awards.

·                  Scope operating revenues were below the average quarter of 2009, primarily due to a lower volume of work executed.

·                  EBITDA in the third quarter of 2010 was below the average quarter of 2009 due primarily to lower volumes of work executed, partially offset by the recognition of business interruption insurance associated with our equity interest in a power plant in Chile that was disabled by an earthquake in  February 2010.

·                  Scope new orders were comparable to the average quarter of 2009.  The tone of the market has improved considerably since 2009, but the timing of new orders continues to be lumpy.

·                  Scope operating revenues were below the average quarter of 2009, reflecting in part the lagging impact of a reduced level of boiler orders in 2009.

 

In commenting on the margin outlook for 2010, Mr. della Sala said, “In our E&C Group, we expect full-year 2010 EBITDA margin on scope revenue to be in the range of 18-20%.  In our Global Power Group, we expect the full-year 2010 EBITDA margin on scope revenue to be in the range of 19-21%.”

 

In commenting on the broader market outlook for the company’s two business units, Mr. della Sala said, “We are encouraged by recent improvements in the market.   The amount of activity regarding proposals and client inquiries in a number of regions around the world has returned to levels that we had not consistently seen since markets turned down.  Although we clearly felt the impact of competitive pressure in the third quarter, the increase in proposal activity confirms our view that that markets have bottomed and that demand has improved.”

 

Mr. della Sala added, “This activity has resulted in two very large and strategically important contract awards early in the fourth quarter — one in our E&C Group and one in our Global Power Group (GPG).  In the Global E&C Group, we have been selected to execute a major front-end engineering design contract for a very large downstream project in South America, and we expect to sign the contract imminently.  In GPG, we won a contract for a sizable boiler order in Vietnam.”

 

In commenting on the preliminary outlook for 2011, Mr. della Sala said, “Due to the lagging impact of the competitive conditions under which contracts have been awarded in 2010, it is likely that EBITDA margins

in both of our operating groups will be lower in 2011 than 2010.  However, if proposal activities and client inquiry levels continue to remain high, we could very well see an increase in scope revenues in 2011 as compared to 2010.”

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

On September 12, 2008, the company announced that its board of directors had authorized a $750 million share repurchase program.  As of the end of 2008, the company had purchased 18.1 million shares and had approximately $264 million remaining under the existing authorization.   The company did not purchase any additional shares in 2009 or the first six months of 2010.

 

In the third quarter of 2010, the company purchased 4.3 million shares for approximately $99.2 million under the existing share repurchase program.   At the end of the third quarter of 2010, the company had approximately $165 million remaining under the existing authorization.

 

Today, the company’s board of directors authorized additional share repurchases of up to $335 million.  When combined with the remaining authorization of $165 million, today’s action gives the company total authorizations of $500 million.   Repurchases under the additional $335 million authorization in excess of approximately 12.7 million shares will require (under Swiss law) prior shareholder approval, which we intend to seek at our next shareholder meeting.

 

Net Income Attributable to Foster Wheeler AG

 

All references to net income in this news release indicate net income attributable to Foster Wheeler AG.

 

Calculation of EBITDA

 

EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  The company defines EBITDA as net income attributable to Foster Wheeler AG before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The company has presented EBITDA because it believes it is an important supplemental measure of operating performance.  Certain covenants under our U.S.  senior secured credit agreement use an adjusted form of EBITDA such that in the covenant calculations the EBITDA as presented herein is adjusted for certain unusual and infrequent items specifically excluded in the terms of our U.S. senior secured credit agreement.  The company believes that the line item on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income attributable to Foster Wheeler AG” is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA.  Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income attributable to Foster Wheeler AG as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP financial measure.

 

EBITDA, as calculated by the company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  In addition, this measure does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use, and is not necessarily a measure of the company’s ability to fund its cash needs.  As EBITDA excludes certain financial information that is included in net income attributable to Foster Wheeler AG, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded.

 

The company’s non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

·              It does not include interest expense.  Because the company has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted the company in generating revenue.  Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations;

·              It does not include taxes.  Because the payment of taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of the company’s operations, any measure that excludes taxes has material limitations; and

·              It does not include depreciation and amortization.  Because the company must utilize property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in order to generate revenues in its operations, depreciation and amortization are necessary and ongoing costs of its operations.  Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization has material limitations.

Calculation of EBITDA Margin

 

Segment EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing business unit operating revenues in Foster Wheeler Scope into business unit EBITDA.

 

Foster Wheeler Scope

 

Foster Wheeler Scope represents that portion of unfilled orders, new orders booked and operating revenues on which profit can be earned.  Foster Wheeler Scope excludes revenues relating to third-party costs incurred by the company as agent or principal on a reimbursable basis.  The company began comprehensively reporting Foster Wheeler Scope as of 2005.

Safe Harbor Statement

 

Foster Wheeler AG news releases may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s assumptions, expectations and projections about the company and the various industries within which the company operates.  These include statements regarding the company’s expectations about revenues (including as expressed by its backlog), its liquidity, the outcome of litigation and legal proceedings and recoveries from customers for claims and the costs of current and future asbestos claims and the amount and timing of related insurance recoveries. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty.  The company cautions that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described in the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2010 and the following, could cause the company’s business conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements: benefits, effects or results of the company’s redomestication or the relocation of the company’s principal executive offices to Geneva, Switzerland; the search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer; further deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States and other major international economies, changes in investment by the oil and gas, oil refining, chemical/petrochemical and power generation industries, changes in the financial condition of its customers, changes in regulatory environments, changes in project design or schedules, contract cancellations, changes in estimates made by the company of costs to complete projects, changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies worldwide, compliance with laws and regulations relating to its global operations, currency fluctuations, war and/or terrorist attacks on facilities either owned by the company or where equipment or services are or may be provided by the company, interruptions to shipping lanes or other methods of transit, outcomes of pending and future litigation, including litigation regarding the company’s liability for damages and insurance coverage for asbestos exposure, protection and validity of its patents and other intellectual property rights, increasing competition by non-U.S. and U.S. companies, compliance with its debt covenants, recoverability of claims against its customers and others by the company and claims by third parties against the company, and changes in estimates used in its critical accounting policies.  Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond the company’s control.  You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the company.  The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures the company makes in proxy statements, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
