Selected Highlights
BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ:BOOM), a leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates, today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.
Sales in the third quarter increased 23% to $24.9 million from $20.2 million in the third quarter last year. Third quarter sales were below those in this year's second quarter, which were an all-time quarterly high $27.8 million, and had benefited from early product deliveries by the Company's Explosive Metalworking segment on certain orders that were originally scheduled for shipment in the third quarter.
Third quarter gross margin was 33% versus 31% in the comparable year-ago quarter and 36% in this year's second quarter. Income from operations increased 40% to $6.1 million from $4.4 million in the third quarter last year. Second quarter income from operations was $7.8 million.
Net income increased 17% to $3.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, from $3.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the third quarter last year. Second quarter net income was $5.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
Explosive Metalworking
Third quarter sales at the Company's Explosive Metalworking segment increased 23% to $23.5 million from $19.2 million in the third quarter last year. Second quarter sales were a record $26.6 million, due in part to the early customer deliveries discussed above. Operating income increased 41% to $5.8 million from $4.1 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Operating income in the second quarter was $7.7 million. Order backlog at the end of the third quarter was a record $68.5 million, up 31% from the $52.4 million recorded at the end of the second quarter.
AMK Welding
Third quarter sales at the Company's AMK Welding segment increased 28% to $1.3 million versus $1.1 million in the third quarter last year and $1.1 million in this year's second quarter. Operating income was $391,000, up 52% from $258,000 reported in the comparable year-ago quarter and an increase of 220% from the $122,000 reported in this year's second quarter.
Management Commentary
"The DMC team delivered the third strongest quarterly performance in Company history," said Yvon Cariou, president and chief executive officer. "Our financial results met our internal forecasts and we achieved better-than-expected quarterly bookings. In fact, Q3 bookings established a new single-quarter record.
"Our all-time high order backlog, a deep roster of new contract opportunities and ongoing capital investments within our global target markets are all encouraging signs that our prospects for continued growth remain strong," Cariou added. "We believe our fourth quarter will be strong given our anticipated high-level of product deliveries scheduled for the period."
Cariou said the $9.6 million expansion underway at the Company's Mt. Braddock, Pennsylvania production facility is on schedule and proceeding smoothly. "We are confident our new production capacity will be online by the end of next year's second quarter - in time to help facilitate deliveries from our mounting order backlog. The expansion of our AMK Welding operations, which are beginning to benefit from increased work on a major long-term supply agreement, is also on track."
Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said, "Given the expected strength of our fourth fiscal quarter, we continue to believe our results during the second half of 2006 will be comparable to those reported during the first half of the year."
"Our balance sheet also showed increased strength at the end of the third quarter, and included cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million," Santa added. "Working capital has grown by 49% since the beginning of the year, and stood at $32.4 million on September 30. We are obviously very encouraged by the growing financial strength of DMC."
Nine-Month Results
Through nine months, sales increased 39% to $77.8 million compared with sales of $56.1 million at the nine-month mark last year. Gross margin improved to 35% from 29% in the same period last year, thanks largely to the strong year-to-date sales increases and a more favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing and overhead expenses within the Explosive Metalworking segment, which generates approximately 95% of DMC's total revenue. Income from operations increased 93% to $20.4 million compared with $10.6 million through nine months last year. Net income advanced 105% to $14.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, versus net income of $6.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, during the same period a year ago. This year's nine-month net income figure included a first quarter gain from discontinued operations of $1.4 million, or $0.11 per share, net of tax, which was attributable to the sale of a real estate purchase option associated with the Company's former Spin Forge division.
DMC's Explosive Metalworking segment reported year-to-date sales of $74.3 million, up 39% versus sales of $53.4 million at the nine-month mark last year. Operating income increased 100% to $20.2 million compared with $10.1 million during the same period last year.
Nine-month sales at AMK Welding increased 27% to $3.4 million compared with $2.7 million during the comparable period last year. AMK's operating income increased 28% $621,000 compared with $485,000 through nine months last year.
