Walter Industries, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Earnings of $0.94 Per Diluted Share
TAMPA, Fla., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Walter Industries, Inc. , a leading producer and exporter of U.S. metallurgical coal for the global steel industry, today reported net income of $50.8 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $18.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2007.
“Our overall financial performance in the quarter was outstanding, particularly in our core Natural Resources and Sloss businesses, which reported their best quarterly performance ever,” said Walter Industries Chairman Michael T. Tokarz. “These results have set the table for what we expect to be the most profitable year in Walter Industries’ history.”
He added, “We continue to make meaningful advances in executing the growth strategy of our core coal business and have also made significant progress toward the planned separation of the Financing and Homebuilding businesses.”
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Net sales and revenues for the second quarter 2008 totaled $370.0 million, up 24.8 percent from the prior-year period, driven by higher metallurgical coal and coke pricing, as well as improved sales volumes of both mined and purchased coal. These increases were partially offset by declines in unit deliveries at Homebuilding.
Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter 2008 totaled $82.3 million compared to $33.0 million in the second quarter 2007. Operating income in the current period was higher primarily on strong metallurgical coal and coke pricing, as well as increased sales volumes.
Second Quarter Results by Operating Group Natural Resources & Sloss
The Natural Resources & Sloss group generated combined revenues of $290.7 million in the second quarter, up 68.9 percent versus the prior-year period. Results include a $16.50 per short ton increase in average metallurgical coal selling prices on 1.7 million tons sold in the quarter, which includes 0.2 million tons of purchased coal sales. Second quarter 2008 results also include increased metallurgical coke pricing at Sloss.
Natural Resources & Sloss reported combined operating income of $79.7 million in the second quarter compared to $25.3 million in the prior-year period. Operating income in the current-year period reflects the pricing and volume improvements at Jim Walter Resources and the increase in coke prices at Sloss, partially offset by higher freight and royalty costs associated with additional coal shipments and higher raw material coal costs at Sloss.
“We generated strong production during the second quarter, resulting in 3.0 million tons of met coal production in the first half of 2008, which was at the top end of our previously communicated expectations. Our first half results, when combined with approximately 1.0 million tons of expected incremental production from the Southwest ‘A’ panel, which will start up in late August, keep our full-year expectation of 6.7 to 7.1 million tons of metallurgical coal production squarely within reach,” said Jim Walter Resources CEO George R. Richmond. “In addition, we have completed all the critical infrastructure associated with our 7 East expansion and are developing its first longwall panel.”
Jim Walter Resources
Mine No. 4 produced 0.8 million tons in the second quarter 2008 compared to 0.7 million tons in last year’s second quarter. The increase was primarily a result of improved longwall production during the quarter. Mine No. 4′s production cost per ton in the quarter was $46.77, or $2.15 per ton higher than in the prior-year period, primarily driven by increased labor and material costs.
Mine No. 7 produced 0.6 million tons in the second quarter 2008, approximately 0.1 million tons more than in the same period last year. Production costs at Mine No. 7 were $70.64 per ton versus $71.23 per ton in the prior-year period. The improvement in average coal production costs was the result of the increase in production volume, which more than offset increased spending for labor and materials at the mine. Production costs at Mine No. 7 continue to reflect higher per-ton costs versus Mine No. 4 due to the disproportionate mix of continuous miner tons versus longwall tons associated with the development of the Southwest “A” panel and the East expansion.
Sloss
Sloss Industries generated second quarter revenues of $53.3 million, up 60.8 percent versus the prior-year period, and operating income of $15.1 million, an increase of $12.1 million and more than five times the amount earned in the prior-year period. Sloss’ favorable results were driven by record-high pricing for metallurgical coke, partially offset by higher raw material coal costs and a $2.2 million charge related to the resolution of legal matters.
Sloss sold approximately 106,000 tons of metallurgical coke at an average price of $397.50 per ton compared to approximately 103,000 tons at $225.91 in the prior-year period. The pricing improvement of 76.0 percent stems from higher contract pricing and spot sales at prices in excess of $500 per short ton FOB plant.
Natural Gas
The natural gas business sold 1.6 billion cubic feet of gas at an average price of $8.99 per thousand cubic feet in the second quarter 2008 compared to sales of 1.8 billion cubic feet at an average price of $7.96 per thousand cubic feet in the prior-year period.
Financing & Homebuilding
The Financing & Homebuilding group reported second quarter revenues of $90.9 million, compared to $123.2 million in the prior-year period. Revenues were lower primarily as a result of fewer unit completions and a $4.2 million increase in the discount on instalment notes originated in the quarter. Operating income for the group was $11.1 million, compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter last year, also primarily due to fewer unit completions and the discount adjustment mentioned above, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses at Homebuilding resulting from the restructuring actions taken in February.
At Financing, operating income for the second quarter was $14.3 million, an increase of 9.9 percent compared to the same period last year, primarily on lower interest expense as a result of paying down debt, partially offset by lower income from prepayments. Delinquencies on the mortgage portfolio were 4.1 percent at June 30, 2008, compared to 3.8 percent at June 30, 2007.
“Our Financing business remains a strong, stable generator of income and cash flows, despite continued and unprecedented disruption in the residential mortgage market. Low delinquencies, strong recovery rates and, in particular, an effective, high-touch servicing platform with focused loss-mitigation strategies, have generated strong results,” said JWH Holding Company Chairman and CEO Mark J. O’Brien. “Strategically, the recent refinancing of our warehouse facilities and the restructuring of Homebuilding in February better position us to separate these businesses from Walter Industries by year end.”
Corporate and Other
In June, Walter Industries completed an offering of 3.2 million shares of its common stock, from which the Company received approximately $280.4 million of net proceeds. The Company used these proceeds to repay a portion of the term loan and revolving credit facility borrowings under the Company’s Amended 2005 Credit Agreement. In the second quarter 2008, interest expense included $3.1 million in accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees associated with this debt repayment.
Income tax expense in the quarter included a $3.7 million credit resulting from the resolution of certain Federal tax matters.
Business Outlook
The Company affirms its previously communicated expectations for its key business drivers, and updates its sales volumes and operating margin per ton expectations as follows:
Metallurgical Coal Sales Outlook Q1A Q2A Q3E Q4E Tons Sold (short tons, in millions) 1.5 1.7 1.7 – 1.8 2.1 – 2.2 Average Operating Margin Per Ton $8 $33 $75 – $81 $95 – $100 Coke Sales Outlook Q1A Q2A Q3E Q4E Tons Sold 104,024 106,431 100,000 – 106,000 106,000 – 112,000 Average Operating Margin Per Ton $182 $162 $140 – $165 $140 – $165 Quarter-to-quarter variability in timing, availability and pricing of shipments may result in significant shifts in income between quarters.
Changes in metallurgical coal sales volumes between the third and fourth quarter reflect a change in the anticipated timing of shipments for approximately 100,000 tons versus prior expectations. The average metallurgical coal operating margin per ton is expected to improve by approximately $5 per ton in the fourth quarter compared to previously communicated expectations, driven largely by higher metallurgical coal sales prices.
The coke sales outlook for the second half of the year also reflects a shift in tons between the third and fourth quarter as coke oven repairs in the third quarter will reduce tonnage volumes slightly that will be made up in the fourth quarter. The operating margin per ton ranges are consistent with prior expectations and reflect favorable spot sales prices, offset by higher coal input costs.
