SPX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS

 

2Q Free Cash Flow 194% of Income From Continuing Operations, Revenues Up 5.5%,

Diluted EPS From Continuing Operations of $0.66

 

CHARLOTTE, NC – July 28, 2003 – SPX Corporation (NYSE:SPW) today announced second quarter 2003 financial results of $1.27 billion in revenues, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.66, and free cash flow from continuing operations of $99.0 million.

 

Commenting on the company’s results, John B. Blystone, Chairman, President and CEO said, “We remain focused on building strategic platforms for profitable growth and cash flow generation, as evidenced by the recent sales of Inrange Technologies and our interest in the Assa Abloy door joint venture. The current headwinds facing SPX remain challenging, led by the negative impact of the U.S. power market and very competitive global economic pressures. For the quarter we generated free cash flow equal to 194% of income from continuing operations, while diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.66 compared to $0.79 in 2002. The primary use of free cash flow during the quarter was to repurchase equity. We remain confident in delivering on our financial commitments for the year of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of at least $3.40 and free cash flow from continuing operations of at least $350 million.”

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Cash Flow: Free cash flow for the quarter was $99.0 million compared to $119.5 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2003, free cash flow was $141.7 million compared to $140.7 million in the first half of 2002. When excluding the $34.8 million net cash received from a legal award in the first six months of 2002, free cash flow in the first six months of 2003 increased $35.8 million or 34%. In the second quarter, free cash flow as a percentage of income from continuing operations was 194%, up from 179% in the second quarter of 2002 and grew to 156% in the first half of 2003 from 107% in the first half of 2002.

 

Revenues: In the second quarter of 2003, revenues increased by $65.7 million, or 5.5%, from $1.20 billion in 2002 to $1.27 billion. Organic revenues, revenues excluding acquisitions and divestitures, declined 3.4% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. Of the 3.4% decline, approximately 6.0% was due to a decline in revenues in the power market.

 


The strength of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar had a favorable impact on organic revenues of approximately 3.7%.

 

Operating Margins: Second quarter operating margins were 9.5% compared to 11.7% for the second quarter of 2002. Operating margins for the first six months of 2003 were 9.1% compared to 12.0% for the first six months of 2002. The margin decrease was primarily attributable to declines in the U.S. power market, competitive market dynamics across the segments and lower pension income.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations: Second quarter 2003 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.66 were down 16% compared to the second quarter 2002 of $0.79 due to the items mentioned above, a difficult economy and increased interest expense related to the company’s high-yield bond carrying costs.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

 

Technical Products and Systems

 

Revenues in the second quarter increased from $266.3 million in 2002 to $312.0 million in 2003, an increase of $45.7 million. The increase was due mainly to bolt-on acquisitions. Organic revenues in this segment declined low single-digits in the second quarter due to delays in the HDTV rollout in the U.S. and lower revenues in the security and investigations business due to higher corporate spending on these services in 2002. Kendro, the primary business in the laboratory and life sciences platform, and EST, the building life-safety business, both grew organically mid-single-digits in the second quarter of 2003. These businesses experienced organic growth due to new product introductions and market share penetration despite very difficult market conditions. The electrical test and measurement platform grew high single-digits due to contract timing at GFI Genfare and strong customer orders at Ling Dynamic Systems, which were partially offset by lower telecommunications revenues at Radiodetection.

 

Segment income as a percentage of revenues decreased from 18.5% in 2002 to 15.8% in 2003. The decrease in operating margins was due primarily to the decline in organic revenues in the quarter compared to the same period in 2002, acquisitions completed in 2002 and 2003, which had historically lower margins than that of the segment, reduced demand for high margin products and services in the broadcast and communication platform and security and investigations business and global competition across all of the segment’s platforms.

 

Industrial Products and Services

 

In the second quarter, revenues decreased from $430.8 million in 2002 to $379.2 million in 2003. The decrease was primarily due to the significant decline in the power market.


Revenues in the power systems platform declined by approximately $40.1 million, or an organic decline of approximately 45%. This trend is expected to continue in the third quarter of 2003 and flatten in the fourth quarter of the year against an already reduced second half of 2002. Organic revenues at the compaction equipment business grew in the second quarter due to currency translation benefits and higher revenues in Asia than in the prior year. In the specialty engineered products platform, increased demand for aerospace defense components and material handling equipment was offset by declines in filtration products, dock systems, high-integrity castings and hydraulic power tools.

 

Segment income as a percentage of revenues declined from 16.7% in 2002 to 11.4% in 2003. Segment income declined due primarily to the power systems market decline compounded with operating inefficiencies in the hydraulic power tools business. The trends in the hydraulic power tools business are likely to continue through mid-2003 and the company is planning further restructuring actions at this business. The relative strength of the euro to the U.S. dollar has impacted margins at the compaction equipment platform in U.S. dollar markets such as the Middle East and Asia. The company expects that this trend will impact the second half of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Flow Technology

 

Revenues in the second quarter of 2003 increased to $381.4 million from $316.7 million in the second quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily due to bolt-on acquisitions completed in 2002 and in the first quarter of 2003 and double-digit organic revenue growth in the cooling technologies and services platform. The aggregate organic revenues in the Flow Technology segment were flat in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Second quarter segment income increased to $47.1 million in 2003 from $45.2 million in 2002 due to bolt-on acquisitions and cost reduction actions taken across the segment, including integration of acquisitions completed. Segment income as a percentage of revenues was 12.3% in 2003 compared to 14.3% in 2002. The decline in segment income as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to lower margins contributed from the acquisitions of Balcke and Daniel Valve in 2002 and Hankison in 2003.

 

Service Solutions

 

Revenues in the second quarter of 2003 were $197.8 million compared to $190.9 million in 2002, representing an organic revenue increase of approximately 2.5% in the quarter.

 

Segment income as a percentage of revenues declined from 14.0% in 2002 to 12.3% in 2003. The decrease in operating margins was due primarily to product mix changes partially offset by the impact of cost reduction initiatives and higher revenues.


OTHER SECOND QUARTER ITEMS

 

Discontinued Operations: On April 7, 2003, SPX and CNT announced that they had signed a definitive agreement that resulted in the acquisition by CNT of all of the outstanding shares of Inrange Technologies for approximately $190 million in cash. The transaction closed on May 5, 2003, and SPX received approximately $149 million in net cash proceeds.

 

For GAAP purposes, Inrange is treated as a discontinued operation. Inrange’s results for all periods and the loss on the sale net of tax, are consolidated on one line labeled “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” on the attached condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

Share Repurchases: On January 9, 2003, the company’s Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program. During the second quarter, the company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $95 million. During the first six months of 2003, and through July 25, 2003, the company repurchased 4.45 million shares of its common stock for approximately $167 million. Accordingly, under the company’s board approved repurchase program, approximately $83 million is available for additional repurchases as of the date of this release.

 

Acquisitions: During the quarter, the company completed two strategic acquisitions for total cash consideration of $20.4 million.
