Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. (NYSE: HY), which was spun off from NACCO Industries, Inc. on September 28, 2012, today announced results for the third quarter of 2012. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 increased 42 percent to $24.9 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, on revenues of $585.6 million from net income of $17.5 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, on revenues of $628.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. Operating profit increased to $28.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $24.1 million in 2011, with operating margins of 4.8% and 3.8%, respectively. Both third quarters reflect the normal seasonal plant shutdown and costs associated with customary third quarter production schedules at the manufacturing plants.
The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $65.6 million, or $3.90 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.817 billion compared with net income of $59.0 million, or $3.51 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.863 billion for the first nine months of 2011.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 and the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012, was $37.8 million and $145.5 million, respectively. EBITDA in this press release is provided solely as a supplemental non-GAAP disclosure. For reconciliations from GAAP results to the non-GAAP results, see page 6.
Completion of Spin-off of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. from NACCO Industries, Inc.
At the close of business on September 28, NACCO Industries, Inc. distributed a dividend of approximately 8.4 million shares of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Class A common stock ("Class A Common") and approximately 8.4 million shares of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Class B common stock ("Class B Common") to stockholders of NACCO, and on October 1, 2012, Hyster-Yale began trading, as an independent public company on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HY. As a result of the distribution of one share of Class A Common and one share of Class B Common for each share of NACCO Class A and NACCO Class B, the earnings per share amounts for Hyster-Yale have been calculated based upon doubling the relative historical basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of NACCO Industries, Inc.
The financial results of Hyster-Yale for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 do not include any additional customary expenses associated with being a stand-alone public company. As an independent public company, Hyster-Yale expects to incur annual incremental expenses of up to $3.5 million pre-tax for the normal and customary expenses associated with being a public company, such as expenses related to its public reporting obligations, directors fees and insurance.
As an independent company, Hyster-Yale's board of directors will, at its first regularly scheduled meeting in mid-November, evaluate and determine a dividend payout rate. In doing so, the board will consider the financial conditions of the business. Hyster-Yale's current intention is to pay regular quarterly dividends.
Discussion of Third Quarter Results
Revenues decreased in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the third quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of unfavorable foreign currency movements mainly caused by a weakening of the euro and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar and a decline in unit volume, primarily in Europe and the Americas. The favorable effect of unit price increases implemented in 2011 and early 2012, primarily in Europe and the Americas, partially offset the decrease in revenue.
In the third quarter of 2012, worldwide new unit shipments were approximately 18,000 units compared with shipments of approximately 19,600 units in the third quarter of 2011 and shipments of approximately 18,700 units in the second quarter of 2012. Worldwide backlog was approximately 25,600 units at September 30, 2012 and 2011 and approximately 24,200 units at June 30, 2012.
The significant improvement in net income was driven primarily by improved gross margins as a result of the favorable effect of price increases mainly in Europe and the Americas, and a favorable shift in sales mix in the Americas to higher-margin products and in Europe to higher-margin markets and products. Also contributing to the increase in net income, specifically in the Americas were favorable foreign currency movements which lowered the cost of trucks and components imported from facilities and suppliers located in countries that use the weakened euro and British pound, as well as higher equity earnings of NMHG Financial Services, Inc., a 20% Company-owned joint venture, and lower interest expense from lower borrowings and lower interest rates. These improvements were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, mainly as a result of higher employee-related expenses in the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased headcount in marketing and engineering, and the absence of a $2.9 million pre-tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2011 from the elimination of post-retirement life insurance benefits and certain post-retirement medical benefits.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company expects global lift truck market growth to continue to moderate, with global volumes slightly down from the prior year. Flat to slightly higher markets in North America, Brazil and China will be offset by decreases in Western Europe, Japan and Latin America. In 2013, slight growth is expected in the overall global market compared with 2012, driven primarily by increased volumes in the Americas, principally as a result of moderate growth in Brazil and Latin America, as well as moderate growth in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East and Africa markets. Europe is expected to continue to decline, mainly as a result of Western Europe macro-economic conditions. In the context of these market conditions, the Company anticipates a slight decrease in overall shipment levels and comparable parts volume in the 2012 fourth quarter compared with 2011, but an overall increase in shipments and parts volumes in all markets in 2013 compared with 2012, with the majority of this increase driven by the Americas.
Expectations for material cost increases have moderated. The Company expects commodity prices in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in 2013 to be comparable with prior year periods. Presently, price increases implemented in the first quarter of 2012 have offset the higher material costs experienced in the first nine months of 2012.
Net income is expected to decline modestly in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of an increase in income tax expense. An expected improvement in gross margin from an anticipated shift in sales mix to higher margin products and markets during the fourth quarter of 2012 is expected to be offset by higher marketing, engineering and employee-related costs. Net income in 2013 is also expected to decline compared with 2012 due to an anticipated shift in mix toward lower margin products and markets and to an increase in operating expenses as a result of expected increases in marketing and employee-related costs to support the Company's five strategic initiatives and the incremental public company costs the Company will incur as a standalone public entity. Fourth quarter 2012 and full year 2013 geographic segment results are expected to improve in the Americas but decrease significantly in the Europe, Middle East and Africa market. The fourth quarter 2012 decrease is expected as a result of weak market conditions in certain European countries and the transition in ownership of a significant dealership. In 2013, the anticipated decline in the Western European market as those economies continue to be depressed and, especially, the anticipated effect of a weak euro and the loss in 2013 of the significant benefit in 2012 from currency hedging are expected to contribute to the decline in the Europe segment results.
Cash flow before financing activities for the full year 2012 is expected to be significantly higher than 2011, primarily from reduced working capital requirements as the global lift truck markets continue to moderate in the Americas, China and Asia-Pacific and decline in Europe. Cash flow before financing activities for 2013 is expected to be down moderately from 2012.
Over time, the Company is focused on improving margins on new lift truck units, especially in its internal combustion engine business, and gaining market share through the execution of five strategic initiatives: (1) offering the lowest cost of ownership by utilizing the Company's understanding of a customer's major cost drivers and developing solutions that consistently lower cost of ownership and create a differentiated competitive position, (2) improving the Company's warehouse market position through enhancing dealer and customer support and incentives and implementing other programs to increase focus on key customers, (3) enhancing independent distribution by implementing programs aimed at broadening account coverage of the market, expanding the Company's dual brand strategy, and ensuring strong dealers in all areas of the world, (4) expanding in Asian markets through offering products geared toward the needs of these markets and focusing on strategic alliances and enhancing relationships with local partners in China, India and Japan, and (5) understanding customer needs at the product and aftermarket levels in order to create and provide a differentiated, full range of products and service solutions for specific industry applications.
In the context of understanding customer needs at a detailed level, the Company is focusing on meeting specific application needs by developing utility, standard and premium products. To this end, the Company's new electric-rider, warehouse, internal combustion engine and big truck product development programs continue to move forward. The new electric-rider lift truck program is designed to bring a full line of newly designed products to market. The Company launched the 4 to 5 ton electric-rider truck in Europe in early July 2012 and expects to launch the final model in the new electric-rider lift truck program in the first quarter of 2013. In mid-2011, the Company introduced into certain Latin American markets a new range of UTILEV® branded forklift trucks, which meet the needs of lower-intensity users. This new UTILEV® brand series of internal combustion engine utility lift trucks is gradually being introduced into global markets during 2012. All of these new products are expected to improve revenues and enhance operating margins, as well as help increase customer satisfaction. In addition, stricter diesel emission regulations for new trucks began to go into effect in 2011 and will be in effect fully by 2015 in certain global markets and the Company expects to launch a range of lift trucks over this period that will include engine systems that meet these new emission requirements.
