Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM)
Selected Highlights:
-- Company Reports Q3 EPS of $.08 on Sales of $34.7 Million
-- Year-to-date Cash Flow from Operations at $23.4 Million
-- Explosion Welding Order Backlog Increases to $63 Million
Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM), the world's
leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates, today
reported financial results for its third quarter and nine-month
period ended September 30, 2009.
Third quarter sales were $34.7 million versus $52.4 million in
the third quarter a year ago and $37.8 million in this year's
second quarter. The 8% sales decline versus the second quarter was
better than management's prior forecasts, which called for a
sequential pullback of 10% to 15%. Management said strong customer
shipment volumes near quarter-end from the Company's Mt. Braddock,
Pennsylvania explosion welding facility led to the better than
expected performance. Gross margin was 25% versus 33% in the
comparable quarter a year ago. This year's third quarter gross
margin was above prior forecasts due to a favorable mix of products
shipped from the Company's U.S. explosion welding operations.
Income from operations was $2.5 million versus $9.4 million in
the third quarter a year ago. Net income was $1.1 million, or $0.08
per diluted share, versus net income of $7.2 million, or $0.57 per
diluted share, in the comparable year-ago quarter. Last year's net
income figure benefitted from unrecognized tax benefits and tax
provision adjustments, which resulted in a 2008 third quarter
effective tax rate of 7.0%. This year's third quarter effective tax
rate of 12.1% was well below the anticipated full-year 2009 tax
rate of 34% to 35% due primarily to adjustments identified during
third quarter 2009 preparation and filing of DMC's 2008 income tax
returns.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $6.0 million versus $12.8
million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principle) financial
measure used by management to measure operating performance. See
additional information about adjusted EBITDA at the end of this
news release.
Explosive Metalworking
DMC's Explosive Metalworking segment recorded third quarter
sales of $27.3 million compared with sales of $42.7 million in the
same quarter a year ago. Operating income was $3.4 million versus
$8.6 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA
was $4.9 million versus $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Order backlog at the Explosive Metalworking segment was $63 million
versus $57 million at the end of this year's second quarter.
Oilfield Products
Third quarter sales at DMC's Oilfield Products segment were $5.1
million versus $6.8 million in the same quarter last year. The
segment reported an operating loss of $414,000 versus operating
income of $725,000 in the third quarter a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA
was $498,000 versus $1.7 million in the comparable prior-year
quarter.
AMK Welding
DMC's AMK Welding segment reported third quarter sales of $2.2
million versus $2.9 million in the same quarter last year.
Operating income was $441,000 versus $874,000 in the comparable
year-ago quarter. The segment recorded adjusted EBITDA of $555,000
versus $983,000 in the comparable quarter last year.
Management Commentary
"The third quarter was marked by important progress on a number
of fronts," said Yvon Cariou, president and CEO. "A record $14.8
million explosion welding contract received during the quarter
helped strengthen our position in the upstream oil and gas sector
-- a non-traditional segment for our cladding business. We also
finalized negotiations for our recent purchase of Alberta-based LRI
Oil Tools. This acquisition advances our long-range strategy of
growing the market share, distribution capabilities and product
offerings of our Oilfield Products business."
"The volume of quoting activity at our Explosive Metalworking
segment remained healthy during the third quarter, and we continue
to bid on a wide array of prospective projects from across several
of our end markets," Cariou added. "As has been the case during
recent quarters, our rate of converting quotes to bookings remains
below historical levels. However, investment activity within
certain industrial processing sectors appears to be improving. As
we get deeper into the next capital spending cycle, we are
optimistic that many of the projects we have been tracking will
convert into formal bookings."
Rick Santa, senior vice president and chief financial officer,
said, "Dynamic Materials remains on very solid financial footing.
During the third quarter, we increased our cash position by 44% to
$30 million, and at the nine-month mark of fiscal 2009, we had
generated $23.4 million in operating cash flow."
Guidance
Santa said fourth quarter sales are expected to increase by 10%
to 20% from third quarter sales, while full-year sales are now
expected to decline from 29% to 31% versus fiscal 2008. Full-year
gross margin is expected to be in a range of 26% to 27%, and the
full year tax rate is now anticipated to be in a range of 32% to
33%.
Nine-month Results
Sales for the nine-month period were $122.3 million versus
$174.0 million in the same period of 2008. Gross margin was 27%
versus 31% in the same period last year. Operating income was $13.8
million versus $28.9 million in the prior year's nine-month period.
Net income through nine months was $7.5 million, or $0.58 per
diluted share, compared with net income of $18.7 million, or $1.47
per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA
was $23.9 million compared with $41.1 million in the same period a
year ago.
The Explosive Metalworking segment reported nine-month sales of
$102.4 million versus $147.3 million at the nine-month mark last
year. The segment reported nine-month operating income of $17.4
million compared with $28.4 million in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA was $21.8 million versus $35.0 million in the
comparable year-ago period.
Nine-month sales at DMC's Oilfield Products segment were $13.2
million versus $19.1 million in last year's nine-month period. The
segment reported an operating loss of $2.0 million versus operating
income of $775,000 in the same period a year ago. Nine-month
adjusted EBITDA was $603,000 versus $3.6 million in the
prior-year's nine-month period.
AMK Welding recorded nine-month sales of $6.7 million compared
with $7.5 million in the comparable year-ago period. Operating
income was $1.1 million versus $2.1 million in the prior-year
period. Adjusted EBITDA at the nine-month mark was $1.5 million
compared with $2.4 million in the same period a year ago.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the
financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided
to enhance the reader's understanding of DMC's financial
performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly
comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within
the schedules attached to this release.
EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus
taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from
EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items
that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating
performance (as further described in the attached financial
schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are
recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative
to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other
GAAP measure.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and
financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate
certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more
reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the
company's ability to generate cash flow from operations. As a
result, internal management reports used during monthly operating
reviews feature the adjusted EBITDA. Management also believes that
investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same
reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial
measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment
bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a
measure similar to EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC's
credit facility.
Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC's
presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable
to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However,
these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company's
performance against its peer companies because management believes
the measures provide users with valuable insight into key
components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company
with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors
if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset
sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and
expense moderates the impact of a company's capital structure on
its performance.
All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income
to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g.,
depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based
compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be
useful in assessing DMC's operating performance (e.g., income taxes
and gain on sale of assets). In the case of the non-cash items,
management believes that investors can better assess the company's
operating performance if the measures are presented without such
items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not
affect DMC's ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its
business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and
amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating
performance without regard to different accounting determinations
such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management
believes that investors can better assess operating performance if
the measures are presented without these items because their
financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating
performance.
