Furmanite Corporation Reports Strong First Quarter 2013 Results

Revenues increase $17.3 million, or 24%, to $89.0 million; Operating income of $4.1 million; Net income of $2.6 million or $0.07 Diluted earnings per share


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Furmanite Corporation (NYS: FRM) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Results

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $89.0 million compared with $71.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $17.3 million, or 24%. Foreign currency effects impacted revenues unfavorably by $0.3 million, but had minimal effect on operating income. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $4.1 million, up $4.8 million from a $0.7 million operating loss reported in the first quarter of 2012. Net income for the current year first quarter was $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Charles R. Cox, Chairman and CEO of Furmanite Corporation said, "This is our very first quarter of performance with substantially all aspects of the corporate transformation we committed to in 2010 now in place. Our financial results represent a directional indicator of our growth potential, but they are well short of those we believe will become possible as our new customer service-focused culture becomes embedded throughout our global footprint."

Joseph Milliron, Furmanite President and COO, added, "With significant total revenue growth, and bottom-line improvement in every one of our operating regions, these results are affirmations that the Company's transformation to a single-minded global organization, operating in our new matrix structure, is beginning to yield the anticipated outcomes." Mr. Milliron continued, "Nowhere is this change more representative than the Americas' operations, where the process has first taken root; yielding a first quarter revenue increase of 49% and a 65% operating income improvement over the same period in the prior year."

Mr. Cox concluded, "It is exciting to see early tangible results of the change we have worked so hard to implement over the past three years. It is clear we are doing the right things, are on the right course and can expect continued growth as we truly work together as a united, global team!"

Financial Position

As of March 31, 2013, the Company's cash balance was $24.4 million. The Company's cash balance, along with the $34.2 million of availability under its credit facility, provides the Company liquidity of $58.6 million.

Earnings Guidance

The Company reiterates its previously issued 2013 earnings guidance, with net income available to common shareholders for the year in the range of $0.40 to $0.44 per diluted share, but adjusts upward its annual revenue guidance for the same period to a range of $380 million to $400 million.

Conference Call Details

In conjunction with the earnings release, Furmanite Corporation will host a conference call with Charles R. Cox (Chairman and CEO), Joseph E. Milliron (President and COO) and Robert S. Muff (Principal Financial Officer). The call will begin at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern) / 9:00 a.m. (Central) on Friday, May 3, 2013.
