Otter Tail Corporation reports second quarter earnings, revises 2003 outlook;
Board of Directors declares dividend

     Otter Tail Corporation (Nasdaq: OTTR) announced unaudited diluted earnings per share of 32 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared with earnings per share of 41 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Net income was $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared with $10.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were $198.5 million compared with $176.6 million for the same quarter a year ago.

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $396.7 million compared with $334.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 net income was $18.3 million compared with $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per share were 70 cents for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with 81 cents for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     “Our consolidated results for the second quarter of 2003 did not meet our expectations,” said John Erickson, president and chief executive officer of Otter Tail Corporation. “We have continued our revenue growth from the previous quarter and year, but we are experiencing significant earnings pressure from a downturn in plastics and from reduced margins in the other non-electric segments that result mostly from soft economic conditions. The soft economy has also made it difficult to complete acquisitions that meet our criteria and we will not modify our established criteria simply to achieve short-term operating results.”

     According to Erickson, the Corporation’s long-standing diversification strategy is designed to provide a level of protection from factors impacting individual segments or companies. “In any given year, we expect some operating companies to experience challenges and others to perform above expectations,” he said. “Historically, this has been the case and the result has been strong, steady growth. In 2003, we simply have more operating companies experiencing difficulties than in a typical year. These companies are solid, profitable businesses that are taking appropriate actions to deal with a tough economic environment. We view the earnings reductions as short term and as general economic conditions improve, we expect earnings levels to return to normal.”

     Erickson said the Corporation continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and is committed to providing steady, dependable growth in earnings and dividends over the long term.

     “While we expect continued strong performance from our electric operations in 2003, we have concerns about the strength of the economy and the impact it is having on our non-electric operations. As a result, we are reducing our earnings guidance. We now expect our 2003 earnings to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.60 of diluted earnings per share,” Erickson said.

Quarterly performance summary

Electric

     Net income of $4.8 million for the electric segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 decreased from $5.5 million reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The contributing factors to the decrease in earnings were a $1.4 million reduction in operating income due to less contracted electrical construction work performed and a $2 million increase in operating and maintenance expenses primarily related to the second quarter scheduled maintenance shutdown of Coyote Station and a boiler wash at Big Stone Plant. Fuel and purchased power costs related to retail sales increased 16.5% as a result of increased purchased power costs partly related to the purchase of replacement power during the maintenance shutdown of Coyote Station. Revenues from retail sales increased 9.0% despite a 4.2% decrease in kilowatt-hours sold, primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in cost-of-energy revenues in the second quarter of 2003. The decrease in retail kilowatt-hour (kwh) sales is mainly due to a decrease in cooling and heating degree-days between the quarters. Gross margin on wholesale energy sales increased 5.2% due to increases in the price per kwh sold, offset by decreases in wholesale kwh sales. Wholesale power sales are expected to continue to be strong for the rest of the year. Overall, we expect strong performance in the electric segment for 2003.

Plastics

     The plastics segment produced net income of $1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared with net income of $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Pounds of PVC pipe sold decreased 30.5% between the quarters while the average sales price per pound increased 15.9% between the quarters. The average price of PVC resin (a raw material used in production of PVC pipe) increased 44% between the second quarters of 2003 and 2002. Although customer demand was strong in the first half of 2003, it was significantly less than the first half of 2002. Given current inventory levels and expected softness in resin prices, we believe the downturn in the plastics segment will be deeper than previously expected and, as a result, we have reduced our earnings expectations for plastics for the rest of the year.

Manufacturing

     Net income for the manufacturing segment increased to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Results from the 2002 acquisitions of the waterfront equipment businesses contributed $800,000 to the increase in net income while the Corporation’s wind tower manufacturer showed a $600,000 increase in net income between the quarters. Net income from the Corporation’s manufacturer of thermoformed plastic and horticultural products increased by $500,000 over the second quarter of 2002. These increases were offset by $400,000 in decreased net income at the Corporation’s metal parts stamping company and $300,000 at its company that manufactures structural steel products.

     Results in the manufacturing segment were mixed depending on the types of businesses served by our manufacturing companies. At the start of the year, we believed that economic conditions would improve by the third quarter of 2003. Generally, however, we believe the soft economy will continue through the balance of 2003. In our view, the continuing economic uneasiness, coupled with the impact of steel tariffs, foreign competition and continued pressure from customers for price reductions will place considerable downward pressure on the earnings of the metal fabrication companies, including those that manufacture towers for the wind energy industry. As a result, we are reducing our earnings expectations for the balance of the year in this segment.

Health services

     Net income for the health services segment decreased from $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 to $740,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Sales from the quarter ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.8 million compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2002. While net income for the quarter was behind the same quarter a year ago, the segment’s results improved significantly from the first quarter of 2003 in part due to the results of steps taken by management to address the integration of Computed Imaging Services and operating expenses of the diagnostic imaging operations. Acquisitions of two small companies in this segment during the 2nd quarter will add to the products and geographic territory of the sales and service operations.

Other business operations

     The other business operations segment incurred a net loss of $800,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared with a net loss of $600,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This increase in net losses reflects $370,000 in construction company losses in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $90,000 of construction company income for the same period of 2002. Construction margins have declined due to the sluggish economy and increased competition for available work. The construction losses were partially offset

by a $240,000 decrease in losses from our energy services company, which has been downsized due to the changing landscape in the deregulated electric utility industry. Our transportation company continues to be profitable but is faced with downward pressure on operating margins because of the slow economy, increased fuel and insurance costs and highly competitive pricing.
