Dynamic Materials Reports First Quarter Financial Results Selected
Highlights BOULDER, Colo., May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamic
Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ:BOOM), the world's leading
provider of explosion- bonded clad metal plates and associated
services, today reported financial results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2005. First quarter sales advanced 72% to $17.5
million from $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. Gross
profit margin increased to 27% from 22% in last year's first
quarter, reflecting a more favorable absorption of fixed
manufacturing expenses within the European operations of the
Company's Explosive Metalworking Group. Income from operations
increased 247% to $2.7 million from $0.8 million in the first
quarter last year. Net income increased 692% to $1.6 million, or
$0.28 per diluted share, versus net income of $0.2 million, or
$0.04 per diluted share, in the comparable year-ago quarter. Net
income in last year's first quarter was impacted by a $0.2 million
loss from discontinued operations, which resulted from operating
losses by the Company's former Spin Forge division. Explosive
Metalworking Group Sales at DMC's Explosive Metalworking Group
advanced 76% to $17.0 million from $9.7 million in last year's
first quarter. Operating income in the quarter increased to $2.8
million from $0.8 million in the comparable period last year.
Record first quarter bookings, which included a $5.3 million order
for work on a nickel hydrometallurgy project in New Caledonia,
helped fuel a 24% sequential increase in the Group's order backlog.
At March 31, 2005, backlog totaled an all-time high $34.1 million
compared with the previous high of $27.5 million at December 31,
2004. AMK Welding Sales from the Company's AMK Welding division
increased 9% to $0.54 million from $0.50 million in the first
quarter last year. The division reported an operating loss of $0.11
million versus an operating loss of $0.05 million in the 2004 first
quarter. The increased operating loss reflects greater spending by
the division as it prepares for a significant ramp-up in business
activity. AMK is expecting the second-quarter commencement of
production work on a customer's ground-based turbine program. As a
result, management expects marked improvement in AMK's sales and
operating results during the remaining quarters of fiscal 2005.
Management Commentary Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, stated, "We
remain very encouraged by the robust sales and production activity
being reported across all segments of our Explosive Metalworking
Group. Our achievement of both record bookings and solid revenue
growth in the same quarter is indicative of the current strength of
our business. Improving economic conditions in our primary target
markets is clearly having a positive impact on demand." Cariou
added, "We also are encouraged by the upcoming increase in activity
at our specialty welding business. AMK played an important role in
the development of a customer's ground-based turbine product, and
will now participate in the commercial production phase. This
step-up in activity should make 2005 a strong year for AMK." "In
addition to our emphasis on revenue and earnings growth, we also
are focused on strengthening our balance sheet. In the coming
quarters, we will work to further reduce our current debt levels."
