-- Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were $365.1 million, an
increase of 8 percent from $339.3 million in the first quarter of last
year.
-- Earnings per share(1) were $0.32 in the first fiscal quarter of 2011,
which includes a charge of $0.03 per share related to a change in the
estimate of future workman's compensation costs. Earnings per share
were $0.32 in the first quarter of last year.
-- Total EBIT(2) for the quarter was $37.9 million compared to $39.6
million in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. This year's
first quarter reflects a $3.6 million charge related to the workman's
compensation charge mentioned above.
-- Free cash flow(3) for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011 was a
negative $3.0 million as a result of increased working capital
investments.
"Our first quarter reflected a continued recovery in our markets, consistent with our previously stated expectations for 2011," said Thomas A. Gendron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to focus on our long-term strategies to gain share in our markets, achieve operational improvements and deliver improved financial results."
Net sales for the fiscal 2011 first quarter were $365.1 million, an increase of 8 percent from $339.3 million for the 2010 first quarter.
Net earnings(1) for the 2011 first quarter were $22.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared with $22.4 million, or $0.32 per share, in the 2010 first quarter. Earnings per share in the current quarter included a charge of $0.03 per share related to a change in the estimate of future workman's compensation costs.
EBIT was $37.9 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $39.6 million for the first quarter of 2010. The current quarter EBIT was positively impacted by increased volumes, but more than offset primarily by a reduction in Airframe Systems' customer development funding and the workman's compensation charge mentioned above. Research and development costs incurred in the first quarter of 2011 increased by $5.4 million compared to the same quarter of the prior year. This reflects increased investment related to anticipated growth in most of our markets. Variable compensation expense increased $1 million from the first quarter of 2010, reflecting the improved results we anticipate for the full year.
Quarterly Segment Results
Turbine Systems
Turbine Systems' segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which include intersegment sales, were $153.7 million, an increase of 8 percent from $142.4 million for the first quarter a year ago. Segment earnings for the first quarter of 2011 increased to $36.5 million from $32.1 million for the same quarter a year ago. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 23.7 percent this quarter compared to 22.5 percent in the same quarter of the prior year.
The sales increase was attributable primarily to broad improvements in aerospace and industrial turbine demand as well as market share gains. Segment earnings benefitted primarily from the increased sales volumes and improved levels of aftermarket sales, partially offset by increased research and development costs.
Airframe Systems
Airframe Systems' segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which include intersegment sales, were $83.6 million, a decrease of 9 percent from $91.7 million in the first quarter a year ago. Airframe Systems had a segment loss of $5.0 million compared to earnings of $2.4 million, or 2.6 percent of net sales, in the first quarter of 2010.
While commercial OEM sales increased in the current quarter compared to the prior year, they were more than offset by reductions in military sales and customer development funding. Earnings were negatively impacted by the reduced sales, including the reduced development funding of $5.3 million, costs associated with new product launches, quarterly sales mix fluctuation, operating inefficiencies, and a $2.2 million charge related to a change in the estimate of future workman's compensation costs.
"While performance at Airframe Systems remains challenging, we expect its financial results to begin improving based on signs of strengthening in this segment's markets, more favorable sales mix and better operational execution," said Robert F. Weber, Jr., Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
Electrical Power Systems
Electrical Power Systems' segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which include intersegment sales, were $61.6 million, an increase of 8 percent from $56.8 million for the first quarter a year ago. Segment earnings for this quarter were $4.9 million compared to $7.3 million for the same quarter last year. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 8.0 percent this quarter compared to 12.9 percent in the same quarter for the prior year.
Sales volumes increased across most product lines, partially offset by a decline in sales related to power station projects and a $3 million negative impact of currency translation. Improved earnings on the volume increase were more than offset by costs associated with additional production capacity and research and development costs associated with supporting market share gains.
Engine Systems
Engine Systems' segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which include intersegment sales, were $92.1 million, an increase of 36 percent from $67.9 million for last year's first quarter. Segment earnings for this quarter increased to $8.1 million from $3.2 million for the same period a year ago. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales improved to 8.8 percent this quarter compared to 4.8 percent in the same quarter last year.
Engine Systems' sales increased substantially across all markets and product lines. Segment earnings improved largely due to the increased volumes, partially offset by increased investments in product development.
Nonsegment
Nonsegment expenses totaled $6.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $5.4 million for the same quarter last year. Nonsegment expenses were 1.8 percent of consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 1.6 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase resulted primarily from increased eliminations of intersegment profits.
Cash Flow, Financial Position and Other Matters
Net cash generated from operating activities decreased to $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared with $61.3 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Free cash flow was a negative $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to positive free cash flow of $52.3 million for the same quarter in 2010. Cash flow for the 2011 first quarter reflects increased investments in working capital in anticipation of higher levels of business activity in the balance of 2011. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2011 were $10.2 million compared with $9.0 million in same quarter of 2010.
The ratio of debt-to-debt-plus-equity was 34.5 percent at December 31, 2010 compared to 36.7 percent at September 30, 2010. Total debt was reduced by $34.7 million during the first quarter of 2011. Open market share repurchases totaled $6.8 million for the same period.
Outlook
"Our markets showed signs of recovery as anticipated and we continue to believe that our fiscal 2011 sales will be between $1.55 billion and $1.65 billion and our diluted earnings per share will be between $1.75 and $1.90," continued Mr. Gendron.
This outlook continues to reflect a projected increase from 2010 of approximately $26 million, or $0.25 per share, in variable compensation expense at targeted levels.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and free cash flow are financial measures not prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT to evaluate Woodward's operating performance without the impacts of financing and tax related considerations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating Woodward's operating performance, making business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management uses free cash flow, which is derived from cash flows provided by operating activities, in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward's various business segments and evaluating cash levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others frequently use EBIT, EBITDA and free cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The use of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As EBIT and EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net income, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Management's calculations of EBIT, EBITDA and free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
(1) Represents net earnings or earnings per share (as applicable) attributable to Woodward Governor Company (i.e., excluding any non-controlling interests).
(2) EBIT is defined as net earnings attributable to both Woodward Governor Company and any noncontrolling interest before interest and taxes.
(3) Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
