PDF Version
  • Sales Rise 5% to $235 Million; Adjusted EPS of $0.19
  • Residential End Markets did not Rebound as Expected
  • Updates Full-Year Revenues to $853M to $860M; Adjusted EPS $0.50 to $0.55

BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2014-- Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer and distributor of products for residential and industrial markets, today reported its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014. All financial metrics in this release reflect only the Company’s continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Second-Quarter Consolidated Results

Gibraltar’s net sales for the second quarter of 2014 increased 5% to $235.0 million, compared with $224.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter 2014 adjusted net income was $6.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $8.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. The adjusted second-quarter 2014 results exclude special items with an after-tax net gain totaling $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, resulting primarily from acquisition-related gains and exit activity costs related to business restructuring. The adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2013 excluded after-tax special charges of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting primarily from exit activity costs related to business restructuring. Including these items in the respective periods, the Company’s second-quarter 2014 GAAP results were net income of $6.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $7.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013.

Six-Month Consolidated Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total net sales increased 1% to $426.0 million, from $421.3 million in the comparable 2013 period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $4.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with $9.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2013. The adjusted results for the first six months of 2014 exclude after-tax special charges totaling $0.1 million, resulting primarily from the net of acquisition-related gains and exit activity costs related to business restructuring. Adjusted net income for the first six months of 2013 excluded after-tax special charges of $5.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, resulting primarily from costs related to the Company’s successful re-financing of its senior subordinated notes. Including these items, GAAP net income for the first six months of 2014 was $4.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2013.

Management Comments

“After a long cold winter that drove lower-than-anticipated first-quarter results, end market demand in the second quarter did not rebound as expected,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brian Lipke. “Demand for roofing-related products remained unexpectedly weak throughout the second quarter and well below demand anticipated by many industry observers. This contributed to lower-than-anticipated revenue growth in our Residential Products segment as the improvement in customer orders experienced at the end of March and April did not carry into the remainder of the quarter.”

“The other parts of our business performed as expected during the quarter,” Lipke said. “As a result, Gibraltar’s consolidated revenue increased 5% from the second quarter last year, driven by strong contributions from our centralized postal storage solutions business and improved volumes in the industrial markets. On the bottom-line, our results reflected unfavorable product mix, increased commodity costs and reduced pricing. Moreover, our results for the second quarter last year benefited from a stronger product mix in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.”

Second-Quarter Segment Results

Residential Products

Second-quarter 2014 net sales in Gibraltar’s Residential Products segment increased 6% to $117.4 million, compared with $110.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter 2014 adjusted operating margin decreased 330 basis points year over year to 9.3%. Sales growth in this segment reflected strong demand for postal storage products. The segment’s lower adjusted operating margin reflected higher raw materials costs, price reductions provided in certain product lines, and slower than expected contributions from key profit improvement initiatives.

Industrial and Infrastructure Products

Second-quarter 2014 net sales in Gibraltar’s Industrial & Infrastructure Products segment increased 3% to $117.9 million, compared with $114.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter 2014 adjusted operating margin improved over the first quarter but decreased 190 basis points year over year to 5.4%. Sales in the segment reflected improving volume in the industrial markets offset by lower shipment volumes to the transportation infrastructure market. Segment adjusted operating margin reflected lower infrastructure shipments, which resulted in a less profitable mix compared with the year-earlier quarter. Higher raw material costs also contributed to the reduced margins for the segment.

Outlook

“With the exception of continuing growth in demand for our postal products, we expect end market conditions for the second half of 2014 to remain similar to those in the first half 2014. As a result, we now expect that Gibraltar will deliver comparable revenues for the second half of 2014 to those reported in the first half of the year, and 6% higher than the prior year period,” said Gibraltar President Frank Heard. “For full-year 2014, we project total revenues in the range of $853 to $860 million, compared with $828 million in 2013.”

“On the bottom line, our recent margin improvement initiatives, including improving production efficiencies, should result in a notable increase in adjusted earnings for the second half of 2014 compared to the first half 2014, and be equivalent to those for the second half 2013. We anticipate reporting adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.23 to $0.27 for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $0.31 for the same period last year, and $0.50 to $0.55 for full year 2014, compared with $0.69 in 2013. We expect GAAP earnings per share of $0.45 to $0.50 for full-year 2014, compared with a loss of $0.18 in 2013,” Heard concluded.

Safe Harbor Statement

Information contained in this news release, other than historical information, contains forward-looking statements and is subject to a number of risk factors, uncertainties, and assumptions. Risk factors that could affect these statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the availability of raw materials and the effects of changing raw material prices on the Company’s results of operations; energy prices and usage; changing demand for the Company’s products and services; changes in the liquidity of the capital and credit markets; risks associated with the integration of acquisitions; and changes in interest and tax rates. In addition, such forward-looking statements could also be affected by general industry and market conditions, as well as general economic and political conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Non-GAAP Financial Data

To supplement Gibraltar’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Gibraltar also presented certain adjusted financial data in this news release. Adjusted financial data excluded special charges consisting of restructuring primarily associated with the closing and consolidation of our facilities, acquisition-related items, and note re-financing costs. These adjustments are shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted operating results excluding special charges provided in the financial schedules that accompany this news release. The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding special charges provides meaningful supplemental data to investors, as well as management, that are indicative of the Company’s core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods as well as comparison with other companies. Special charges are excluded since they may not be considered directly related to our ongoing business operations. These adjusted measures should not be viewed as a substitute for our GAAP results, and may be different than adjusted measures used by other companies.

Next Earnings Announcement

Gibraltar expects to release its financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2014, on Tuesday, October 28, 2014, and hold its earnings conference call later that morning, starting at 9:00 a.m. ET.
