The Keith Companies Reports a 21% Increase in Net Income and
Record Gross Profit
Highlights:
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Keith Companies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:TKCI), an engineering and consulting services firm, today announced
financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased 7.6% to $24.5
million, while net income for the same period increased 20.8% to $2.1 million
and resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.26. This compares to net
revenue for the second quarter of 2003 of $22.8 million, with net income of
$1.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.22. All growth in net
revenue in the second quarter of 2004 was organic.
"We continue to attract more business from our long-time and new clients in the
homebuilding industry, which drove the largest year-over-year increase in net
income that we have had in six quarters," said Aram Keith, Chairman and CEO of
The Keith Companies. "The demand for real estate development services is
particularly strong in Southern California, which drove the Company's growth in
net revenue. Our real estate development segment experienced net revenue
growth of 18.8% for the second quarter of 2004 over the same period in 2003.
We also increased the utilization of our real estate development staff, which
helped to increase our already strong operating margin. Net revenue from our
public works/infrastructure segment was essentially flat year over year for the
second quarter of 2004. Business activity in the energy/industrial segment
remains a challenge and our results were significantly below the prior year.
We believe, however, that the year-over- year comparisons can improve in the
future."
Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased 4.1% to $47.0
million, while net income for the same period increased 14.7% to $3.6 million
and resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.45. This compares to net
revenue for the six months of 2003 of $45.1 million with net income of $3.1
million and diluted earnings per share of $0.39. Income from operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $5.7 million, an increase of 19.6% over
income from operations of $4.8 million for the same period in 2003.
The Company reported record gross profit of $9.2 million and $17.2 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.
Financial Position
The Company's June 30, 2004 balance sheet remains strong with cash and
securities of $33.9 million, no debt, a current ratio of 4.9:1, and
shareholders' equity of $77.0 million or $9.83 per common share outstanding at
June 30, 2004.
Financial Guidance
In adherence with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC)
Regulation Fair Disclosure, The Keith Companies provides the following guidance
for all investors and encourages all current and potential investors to review
the disclosure regarding forward-looking statements in this press release as
well as all financial documents filed with the SEC. All guidance amounts are
before special items, if any, and exclude the impact of any potential future
acquisitions.
The Company is increasing the low end of its financial guidance for diluted
earnings per share by $0.01 for the third and fourth quarters of 2004.
Accordingly, the Company estimates its full year 2004 net revenue may range
from $95.0 million to $97.0 million with estimated diluted earnings per share
ranging from $0.93 to $1.01 ($0.27 to $0.31 for the third quarter; and $0.22 to
$0.25 for the fourth quarter) based upon an estimated 8.05 million weighted
average number of diluted shares outstanding for the year. The higher range of
the guidance is primarily based upon significant improvements in the demand for
services in the Company's energy/industrial segment.
"The disciplined manner in which our major homebuilding clients are acquiring
new land for development and initiating construction projects indicates that we
should see steady, consistent growth in our real estate development segment for
the foreseeable future," said Keith. "We see good opportunities to continue
generating organic growth in this segment, and we intend to open two new real
estate offices in California, one in downtown San Diego and one in the Central
Valley of California. We remain cautiously optimistic that we will see
improvement in demand in our other two business areas, particularly given the
growing interest in renewable and alternative energy projects, such as wind,
solar, waste wood and in LNG.
"We continue to generate strong cash flow and strengthen our balance sheet
which increases our capital resources to complete potential acquisitions. As
we move forward, we intend to continue exploring acquisition opportunities that
can complement the strong organic growth we are experiencing," said Keith.
