Fourth quarter EPS Loss of $0.09; Adjusted EPS loss of $0.03 for
the year generateD $82.2 million in free cash flow and reduced debt
by $355.3 Million ATLANTA, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mueller
Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA) today reported net sales of $374.8
million and a net loss of $10.9 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2009, which included interest rate swap contract
settlement costs of $6.3 million, a loss on early extinguishment of
debt of $3.0 million and restructuring charges of $1.9 million.
Summarized consolidated 2009 fourth quarter results compared to
2008 fourth quarter results are as follows: -- Net sales for the
2009 fourth quarter were $374.8 million, down 24.6 percent compared
to $496.9 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. -- Income from
operations for the 2009 fourth quarter was $12.9 million compared
to $48.1 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. Adjusted income from
operations for the 2009 fourth quarter was $14.8 million compared
to $48.5 million in the 2008 fourth quarter. -- Adjusted EBITDA was
$36.7 million in the 2009 fourth quarter compared to $72.3 million
in the 2008 fourth quarter. -- Net loss per share was $0.09 for the
2009 fourth quarter compared to net income per share of $0.15 for
the 2008 fourth quarter. Adjusted net loss per share was $0.03 for
the 2009 fourth quarter. -- During the 2009 fourth quarter, the
Company reduced its total debt by $221.0 million to $740.2 million.
-- Free cash flow was $36.6 million in the 2009 fourth quarter
compared to $48.8 million in the 2008 fourth quarter. "Production
and shipment increases at Mueller Co. and U.S. Pipe in the fourth
quarter contributed to significant sequential improvement in the
financial performance of both business units. Strong operating
leverage resulted in substantial incremental margin gains at both
Mueller Co. and U.S. Pipe. Our fourth quarter performance
reinforces our belief that, as our markets rebound, we will benefit
from positive conversion margins," said Gregory E. Hyland,
chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water
Products. "We generated strong free cash flow in the fourth quarter
and the full year as a result of our cost containment and working
capital management initiatives. We reduced our debt by $221.0
million during the quarter and $355.3 million for the year, a 32
percent reduction, using free cash flow and the proceeds from our
recent equity offering." "We believe municipal water infrastructure
spending began to improve over the last two quarters. We anticipate
the typical lower seasonal demand pattern in the first half of
fiscal 2010, but we should benefit from stimulus-related funding
during the second half of fiscal 2010. While we believe residential
construction markets have hit bottom, we expect to lag any recovery
in this market in fiscal 2010. We believe commercial construction
spending, which drives demand for our Anvil products, will continue
to decline." Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results Net sales for the
2009 fourth quarter of $374.8 million declined $122.1 million from
$496.9 million for the 2008 fourth quarter due to lower shipment
volumes of $105.3 million across all business segments and net
lower pricing of $12.3 million due to lower pricing at U.S. Pipe
partially offset by higher pricing at Mueller Co. and Anvil. In
addition, unfavorable Canadian currency exchange rates reduced net
sales by $4.5 million. Adjusted income from operations for the 2009
fourth quarter of $14.8 million declined $33.7 million from $48.5
million for the 2008 fourth quarter. Results were negatively
impacted by significantly lower shipment volumes, higher per-unit
overhead costs on products sold due to lower production, and lower
pricing at U.S. Pipe. The quarter's results were positively
impacted by reduced selling, general and administrative expenses,
lower raw material costs and manufacturing cost savings. Fourth
Quarter Segment Results Mueller Co. Segment Net sales for the
Mueller Co. segment of $158.1 million for the 2009 fourth quarter
declined $26.5 million from $184.6 million for the 2008 fourth
quarter. Lower shipment volumes of $29.4 million were partially
offset by higher pricing of $4.2 million. Shipment volumes of iron
gate valves, hydrants and brass service products in the quarter
were all below the prior year period. Adjusted income from
operations of $25.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $38.1 million in
the 2009 fourth quarter compare to income from operations and
EBITDA of $35.8 million and $48.7 million, respectively, in the
2008 fourth quarter. Adjusted income from operations decreased
$10.7 million due to higher per-unit overhead costs on products
sold due to lower production and $10.3 million due to lower
shipment volumes. The decrease was partially offset by $4.2 million
of higher sales pricing, $5.5 million of manufacturing cost savings
and $3.7 million of reduced selling, general and administrative
expenses. U.S. Pipe Segment Net sales for the U.S. Pipe segment of
$105.3 million for the 2009 fourth quarter declined $48.1 million
from $153.4 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. Net sales
decreased $30.0 million due to lower shipment volumes and $18.1
million due to lower pricing. Adjusted loss from operations of $7.1
million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.6 million in the 2009
fourth quarter compare to adjusted loss from operations of $1.8
million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million in the 2008 fourth
quarter. The 2009 fourth quarter results were negatively impacted
by $18.1 million due to lower sales pricing, $7.5 million due to
lower shipment volumes and $6.5 million of higher per-unit overhead
costs on products sold due to lower production. The decrease was
partially offset by $16.7 million of lower raw material costs, $6.3
million of manufacturing cost savings and $4.5 million of lower
selling, general and administrative expenses. Anvil Segment Net
sales for the Anvil segment of $111.4 million for the 2009 fourth
quarter declined $47.5 million from $158.9 million for the 2008
fourth quarter. The net sales decline was due to $45.9 million of
lower shipment volumes and $3.2 million of unfavorable Canadian
currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher pricing.
Adjusted income from operations of $3.2 million and adjusted EBITDA
of $7.8 million in the 2009 fourth quarter compare to income from
operations and EBITDA of $23.4 million and $28.1 million,
respectively, in the 2008 fourth quarter. Adjusted income from
operations decreased due to $13.6 million of lower shipment
volumes, $9.6 million of higher raw material costs and $9.3 million
due to higher per-unit overhead costs on products sold due to lower
production. These items were partially offset by $9.3 million of
lower selling, general and administrative expenses and $2.8 million
of manufacturing cost savings. Net Interest Expense Net interest
expense of $27.2 million increased from $17.6 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to $6.3
million of premature interest rate swap settlements associated with
debt prepayments as well as higher interest rates resulting from
the June 2009 amendment to the 2007 Credit Agreement. Loss on Early
Extinguishment of Debt The Company used the proceeds of its recent
equity offering and other available cash to reduce debt during the
quarter by $221.0 million, consisting of $218.0 million of
prepayments and $3.0 million of scheduled payments. In connection
with the debt prepayments, the Company expensed $3.0 million of
related deferred financing costs as a loss on early extinguishment
of debt. Equity Offering In September 2009, the Company completed a
public offering of 37,122,000 shares of its Series A common stock
at a public offering price of $4.75 per share. Net proceeds of
$166.0 million (after offering expenses) were used to reduce
outstanding debt under the 2007 Credit Agreement. Use of Non-GAAP
Measures The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from
operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and free cash flow
as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted income (loss) from operations
represents income (loss) from operations excluding impairment and
restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss)
before depreciation, amortization, debt-related transactions,
interest income, income taxes, impairment and restructuring
charges. The Company presents adjusted EBITDA because it is an
important supplemental measure of performance, and management
believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors
and interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and
investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute
for analysis of the Company's results as reported under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
Adjusted net loss excludes impairment and restructuring charges,
the loss on early extinguishment of debt, the cash expense to
prematurely settle interest rate swap contracts, and the gain on
repurchase of debt. These items are excluded because they are
considered unusual and not indicative of recurring operations. Free
cash flow, which represents cash flows from operating activities
less capital expenditures, is presented as a measurement of cash
flow because it is commonly used by the investment community.
Further, management uses it as a reflection of the cash that the
Company has available for ongoing business operations and
discretionary purposes. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP
results is included as an attachment to this press release and has
been posted online at http://www.muellerwaterproducts.com/.
