Hardinge Inc. Reports Net Sales of $103.1 Million in Fourth Quarter 2013

 

·                  Shipments from Usach’s backlog drove solid fourth quarter and full year 2013 sales

 

·                  $17.4 million in cash generated from operating activities during the fourth quarter, $25.8 million for the full year

 

·                  Reported fourth quarter EPS of $0.50; Non-GAAP EPS of $0.68 excludes unusual items

 

ELMIRA, N.Y., February 13, 2014 Hardinge Inc. (NASDAQ: HDNG), a leading international provider of advanced metal-cutting solutions and accessories, reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.  Results for the year included the operations of Usach Technologies, Inc. (“Usach”), acquired on December 20, 2012, and the Forkardt operations (“Forkardt”) since its May 9, 2013 acquisition, adjusted to segregate the Forkardt Swiss business, divested in December 2013, as a discontinued operation.

 

Net sales (“sales”) for the quarter were up 14% to $103.1 million, compared with sales of $90.6 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter.  Acquisitions contributed $29.8 million of sales in this year’s fourth quarter.  When compared with the trailing third quarter, sales were up $23.3 million, or 29%, with the improvement driven by strong shipments from Usach’s backlog.

 

Net income, which was impacted by unusual items, was $6.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP net income was $8.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, excluding acquisition-related costs of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, non-cash impairment charges of $6.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, and a $5.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share benefit relating to the operations and sale of Forkardt’s Swiss business.  The prior year’s fourth quarter net income was $7.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, which included a benefit of $2.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, from a reduction in tax valuation allowances and $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of acquisition-related expenses.  When comparing adjusted net income for both quarters, the fourth quarter 2013 net income was up $3.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.  Management believes that the use of non-GAAP measures helps in the understanding of its operating performance.  Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non-GAAP net income for the comparative fourth quarters.

Richard L. Simons, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our fourth quarter operating results benefitted from the shipment of the acquired Usach backlog and solid execution on scheduled customer deliveries.  Regarding 2013 overall, our newly acquired workholding accessories business and Usach’s strong backlog enabled us to have a solid year.  The acquisitions diversified our revenue base, provided stronger margin business and reduced the impact of the inherent cyclicality in the machine tool industry and, as a result, more than offset the decline in our organic business.”

 

A review for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, resulted in a fourth quarter and full year charge of $5.1 million to reduce the value of goodwill and the trade name associated with the purchase of Usach.

 

The operations of the Forkardt Swiss business and the gain on its divestiture resulted in income of $5.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the quarter, and are reported as a discontinued operation.  The fourth quarter and full year also reflect a $1.1 million non-cash impairment charge associated with the Forkardt trade name as a result of the Forkardt Swiss divestiture.

Fourth Quarter Review

 

Fluctuations in Hardinge’s consolidated sales among geographic locations and industries can vary from quarter to quarter based on the timing and magnitude of orders and projects.  Hardinge does not believe that such quarter-to-quarter fluctuations are necessarily indicative of larger business trends.  Rather, the Company believes that such business trends can be discerned from the Company’s performance during a longer period of time, such as a trailing twelve-month period.

 

Compared with the prior-year period, sales improved in North America and Asia as a result of the acquisitions, which offset lower organic sales.  The decline in Europe reflected the weak economy that appears to now be improving.  There too, the acquisitions helped to offset the organic decline.  Compared with the trailing third quarter, sales increased in all regions on solid execution of sales out of backlog.

 

Gross profit was $29.5 million, up $1.8 million over the prior-year period.  As a percentage of sales, gross margin was 28.6% compared with the prior year’s 30.6%.  The valuation adjustment for the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the Usach acquisition had a $0.8 million unfavorable impact on gross profit, or 0.8 percentage points on margin.  Additionally, gross margin for the quarter was affected by lower machine production in certain factories as a result of lower machine orders in the second half of 2013.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was up by $0.8 million, compared with the prior-year period, to $21.8 million, or 21.1% of sales.  The increase included $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses as well as $4.2 million of incremental SG&A associated with the acquired businesses.  This was partially offset by savings of approximately $2.0 million resulting from the 2013 realignment of the Company’s sales structure in the United Kingdom.

 

Income from operations was $1.3 million.  Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes the $1.0 million of acquisition-related items and $6.2 million of non-cash goodwill and trade name impairment charges, was $8.6 million, or 8.3% of sales, compared with adjusted income from operations of $6.8 million, or 7.5% of sales, in the prior-year period.

 

The 2013 fourth quarter effective tax rate was not meaningful due to the impact of jurisdictional mix and reserves.  Last year’s quarter included a $2.7 million tax benefit resulting from a reduction in tax valuation allowances, making its rate not meaningful as well.

Full Year 2013 Review

 

2013 sales of $329.5 million were down $5.0 million, or 2%, from the prior-year period, as incremental sales from acquisitions nearly offset the organic sales decline.

 

Gross profit was $93.2 million, or 28.3% of sales, compared with $96.8 million, or 29.0% of sales, in 2012.  Gross profit in 2013 was unfavorably impacted by approximately $1.9 million of inventory

valuation step-up adjustments related to the acquisitions, which impacted gross margin by 0.6 percentage points.

 

SG&A expense was $79.5 million, up $3.3 million from 2012 levels.  Incremental SG&A associated with the acquired operations was $9.7 million, partially offset by $5.9 million of savings from the realignment of the Company’s U.K. sales organization.  Additionally, SG&A for 2013 included $2.2 million in acquisition-related expenses.

 

Income from operations was $7.0 million.  Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes the $4.1 million of acquisition-related items and $6.2 million of non-cash goodwill and trade name impairment charges, was $17.3 million, or 5.3% of sales, compared with adjusted income from operations of $20.4 million, or 6.1% of sales, in the prior-year period.

 

Net income was $9.9 million.  Non-GAAP 2013 net income was $14.9 million, which excludes acquisition-related items of $4.1 million, impairment charges of $6.2 million, a discrete tax charge of $0.2 million, and $5.5 million of income from discontinued operations and gain on disposal of discontinued operations, both associated with Forkardt’s Swiss business.  Adjusted net income was $0.5 million lower than 2012 adjusted net income of $15.4 million.  The 2012 adjusted net income excludes a $2.7 million tax benefit and $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses.  Earnings per diluted share for 2013 were $0.83.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.25, compared with adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.33 in 2012.  Management believes that the use of non-GAAP measures helps in the understanding of its operating performance.  Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non-GAAP net income for the comparative annual periods.

Solid Cash Generation; Reduced Pension Liability

 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year were $34.7 million.  Cash generated by operations was $17.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $25.8 million for the full year.  Total debt, consisting of notes payable and term debt (current and long-term portions) was $26.6 million at December 31, 2013, a reduction of $10.6 million compared with the $37.2 million balance at September 30, 2013.  Through January 2014, the Company has raised $9.9 million from the sale of 678,531 of Hardinge shares under the Company’s at-the-market program, which has been used to reduce outstanding debt.

 

Hardinge’s pension obligation at the end of 2013 was $28.4 million, down $21.9 million as a result of higher discount rates and positive returns on plan assets.

Capital expenditures were $1.7 million and $3.9 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2013, respectively.  Capital expenditures in 2014 are expected to be in the $5.5 million to $6.5 million range, primarily for general maintenance purposes.

Net orders (“orders”) during the quarter were $73.9 million, and improved over both the prior-year period and the trailing third quarter.  The Company’s order backlog at December 31, 2013 was $91.4 million.

 

2014 Expectations

 

Mr. Simons concluded, “We expect that 2014 will demonstrate moderate growth as both North America and Asia have had steady demand.  Encouragingly, Europe appears to be improving.  In addition, we will have the benefit of a full year of Forkardt sales.  We recognize that the first quarter will be a weak start to the year for sales, similar to last year, as a result of the Chinese New Year.  We also enter the new year with lower backlog given the high level of shipments in the fourth quarter.  Nonetheless, both macro economic factors and customer feedback are encouraging for the remainder of the year.  We have a solid, flexible balance sheet and expect to continue our pursuit of additional strategic acquisitions to complement our organic growth.”
