Webco Industries, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Results
SAND SPRINGS, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Webco Industries, Inc. (OTC: WEBC) today reported results for its fiscal 2013 second quarter ended January 31, 2013.
For its fiscal 2013 second quarter, the Company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $4.25 per diluted share, for the same quarter in fiscal 2012. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $99.1 million, a 21.8 percent decrease from the $126.8 million of sales in last year's second quarter. The current quarter results include a $0.5 million non-cash gain, whereas the prior year same quarter includes a $1.8 million non-cash loss related to the interest swap contract. Further, the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 included approximately $1.1 million of incremental inventory related charges and $0.9 million of additional depreciation related to new facilities.
For the first six months of fiscal year 2013, the Company generated net income of $3.0 million, or $3.81 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.1 million, or $7.89 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2012. Net sales for the first six months of the current year amounted to $215.5 million, a 16.0 percent reduction from the $256.4 million in sales for the same six-month period of last year. Results for the first six months of the current year include a $0.3 million non-cash gain related to the interest swap contract, whereas the prior year same six-month period contained a $3.7 million non-cash loss on the contract. In addition, for the first six months of fiscal year 2013 incremental inventory-related charges increased approximately $1.3 million and depreciation, as a result of new facilities, increased $1.8 million. An impairment charge on manufacturing equipment of $1.1 million was also included in the results for the first six months of fiscal year 2013.
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $8.1 million, or 8.1 percent of net sales, compared to $14.2 million, or 11.2 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $18.0 million, or 8.3 percent of net sales, compared to $27.2 million, or 10.6 percent of net sales, in the same six-month period in 2012. While gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was negatively impacted by inventory related charges, increased depreciation and impairment charges, the greatest factors affecting both the quarterly and six-month comparisons were lower volume, a less favorable product mix and weak spot pricing.
Dana S. Weber, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We hope for the return of more favorable volume and spot pricing conditions as fiscal year 2013 progresses, but continue to monitor domestic and international economic and political uncertainty. We have continued to invest in a platform for long-term organic growth strategies that are consistent with our niche strategy."
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased to $5.7 million from the $6.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year. SG&A costs in the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $11.7 million, up slightly from the $11.6 million reported for the same six-month period in 2012.
Interest expense was $1.0 million in each of the current year and prior year second quarters. For the first six months of fiscal 2013, interest expense amounted to $2.0 million, while interest expense for the first six months of the prior year amounted to $2.3 million. The Company is party to an arrangement that swaps the variable interest rate for $75 million of the Company's debt to a fixed rate through December 2017. The Company records the interest swap contract at fair value and non-cash changes in value are reported in Gains or Losses on Interest Contracts. Monthly swap settlements, if any, are included in interest expense.
Capital expenditures incurred amounted to $2.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six-month period of fiscal 2013. Due to the plant expansion in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, capital spending incurred in fiscal 2012 amounted to $14.4 million and $20.1 million during the second quarter and first six months, respectively. Capital spending for the full fiscal year 2013 is expected to be in the range of $10 to $14 million.
