Mohawk Industries, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Earnings

CALHOUN, Ga., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) today announced 2009 second quarter net earnings of $46 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.67. Operating income for the second quarter was $75 million. A restructuring charge of $12 million was recorded in the quarter primarily due to the closure of a European laminate facility. Excluding the restructuring charge, operating income was $87 million and EPS was $0.79. In the second quarter of 2008, net earnings and EPS were $89 million and $1.29 per share, respectively. Net sales for the quarter were $1,406 million, a decrease of 24% (22% on a constant exchange rate) from 2008. The company generated cash flow from operations of $228 million. We strengthened our balance sheet, by generating over $200 million in free cash flow, paying $122 million of debt and investing $26 million in capital expenditures. We ended the period with a balance of over $225 million in cash. The results benefited from aggressively driving costs down, improving working capital, tighter control over capital expenditures and an intense focus on customers.

For the first six months of 2009, our net loss was $60 million or a net loss per share of $0.87. Our operating loss for the first six months was $71 million. Excluding the year to date charges for carpet tile, FIFO inventory flow through and restructuring, our operating income was $129 million. In the first six months of 2008, net earnings and EPS were $154 million and $2.25 per share, respectively. Net sales for the first six months of 2009 were $2,614 million representing a 27% decrease from 2008. Sales declined 22% based on a constant exchange rate excluding the first quarter carpet tile charges. The sales decreases for both the quarter and the year to date in the U.S. and Europe are attributable to continuing low home sales, soft business investment and weak consumer discretionary spending.

In commenting on the second quarter results, Jeffery S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and CEO stated, “Our second quarter earnings surpassed our expectations. Our results improved from the first quarter as we benefited from increased sales, lower costs and higher utilization rates. We are transitioning to a leaner, lower cost structure to emerge in a stronger position when the economy recovers.”

The Mohawk segment sales were down 21% with the residential decline beginning to stabilize but commercial is expected to continue its contraction. There remains pressure in the commodity categories and product mix has been declining as customers trade down to reduce project costs. After peaking, raw material costs improved and benefited our second quarter results. During the quarter, improved seasonal sales, higher plant utilization and lower costs helped offset the deleveraging of our fixed overhead costs. We continue to cut administrative, manufacturing and logistics costs focusing on productivity, service and quality enhancements.

Dal-Tile sales were down 22% or 21% using a constant exchange rate. Dal-Tile has been impacted greater by the present contraction of the commercial business. Our Mexican business is growing by broadening our product offering and expanding our distribution. Dal-Tile sales and logistics infrastructures differentiate our products and services, however, lower business levels have deleveraged the fixed costs. The Dal-Tile cost structure has been reduced with many initiatives on productivity, quality and product engineering. Our yields have improved, raw material costs decreased, direct labor reduced and controllable unit costs are down.

Unilin sales declined 32% as reported or 24% on a constant exchange rate basis. Even with revenues down substantially, the operating margin was over 15% excluding restructuring costs. Our laminate sales have declined with residential remodeling and home sales. Royalties were impacted by declining industry sales and new licenses. In the second quarter we expensed the closing costs for a European flooring plant to reduce capacity and costs. We are expanding our customer base with our warehouse in Russia in preparation for local manufacturing. Board demand is down in Europe creating excess capacity and compressing prices in the market. The roofing structure sales are softening and selling prices have remained stable. We are reducing our costs by cutting infrastructure, SG&A and headcount while improving productivity. In addition, working capital, maintenance costs and capital expenditures have been reduced. New investments are being made in technology, products and systems to reduce costs and maximize our future.

In the second period, industry conditions were weak and we anticipate the present trends continuing in the third quarter. U.S. residential appears to be stabilizing at a low level with signs of improving home sales which are supported by low mortgage rates. The commercial decline continues and we are adjusting our business to the demand levels. Our carpet raw material costs are expected to increase slightly in the second half. The Unilin results are expected to be lower due to holiday shutdowns, higher period costs and lower royalties. Our third quarter guidance for earnings is $0.54 to $0.63 per share. Excluded from this guidance is an estimated restructuring charge of approximately $25 million, most non-cash, related to infrastructure reductions in manufacturing and distribution. Each of our businesses is managing the balance sheet to maximize our cash position, reducing expenditures and remaining focused on our customers. The investments in our products, systems and organization will make our business stronger and more competitively positioned as the economy improves.

Certain of the statements in the immediately preceding paragraphs, particularly anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and similar matters and those that include the words “could,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” and “estimates,” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements.” For those statements, Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in economic or industry conditions; competition; raw material and energy costs; timing and level of capital expenditures; integration of acquisitions; rationalization of operations; claims; litigation and other risks identified in Mohawk’s SEC reports and public announcements.
