Management Commentary
Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "The fourth quarter represented a strong finish to what was a very solid year for Dynamic Materials. Robust order volume during the month of December pushed our year-end order backlog for explosion-welded plates to $42.0 million. This backlog exceeds our previous all-time high by a wide margin and is a clear indication of the demand we are seeing from within our global target markets."
Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said the fourth quarter was positively impacted by shipments associated with a $5.3 million order for a nickel hydrometallurgy project in New Caledonia and initial deliveries on the $6.0 million Kuwait Olefins contract announced in August of last year. "Shipments for the New Caledonia project are largely complete, and we expect most of the $1.1 million remaining on the Kuwait order to ship in the first quarter. Deliveries on the recent $7.5 million North American refinery order commenced during January and will continue through the first half of 2006."
Capital Expansion
The company intends to make significant investments in additional production capacity at both of its divisions in anticipation of continued growth. Cariou said, "Our original 2006 capital expenditures budget of $4.5 million represents a more than 50% increase from what we spent in 2005 and has been augmented by recent board approval to spend up to an additional $8 million on the expansion of our explosion welding facility in Mount Braddock, Pennsylvania. We invested approximately $7.1 million in the original construction of this plant in 1999, so this clearly represents a major expansion initiative. We hope to complete this expansion project during the first half of 2007."
Santa said the capital expenditures will be funded with cash flow from operations. "Our strong cash flow performance is allowing us to invest in new capacity while we simultaneously reinforce our balance sheet and increase our annual dividend by 50%."
Annual Dividend
DMC's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share. This represents a 50% increase from the dividend paid last year. The dividend will be paid on March 22, 2006 to stockholders of record as of March 10, 2006.
