Kaydon Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) today announced its results for the second fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2010.

Consolidated Results

Sales in the second fiscal quarter of 2010 were $121.5 million, an increase of 23.6 percent compared to sales of $98.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 as most of the Company’s major end markets experienced improved results both sequentially and relative to the prior year.

Operating income was $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 98.5 percent compared to $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure and as defined by the Company, equaled $33.6 million, or 27.6 percent of sales, during the second quarter of 2010, as compared to $20.6 million, or 20.9 percent of sales, during the second quarter of 2009. Operating income and EBITDA benefited from increased volume and the positive impact of actions taken over the past two years to reduce both structural and cyclical costs. Readers should refer to the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures exhibit for the calculation of EBITDA and the reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $17.8 million, an increase of 113.2 percent compared to net income of $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2010 equaled $.53, an increase of 112.0 percent compared to diluted earnings per share of $.25 in the second quarter of 2009.

Certain discrete items affected comparisons with the 2009 second quarter. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company incurred costs associated with the first phase of our previously announced manufacturing consolidation program and for unconsummated corporate development efforts, primarily offset by gains associated with recent changes to certain postretirement benefit programs. The pre-tax net impact of these items was to reduce reported operating income by $0.2 million, which represented $.01 per share on a diluted after-tax basis.

Second quarter 2010 results also benefited from the lower effective tax rate of 32.2 percent compared to 37.0 percent in the 2009 second quarter due to the full availability of the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction and the planned permanent reinvestment of earnings of certain international operations.

Management Commentary

James O’Leary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our results this quarter were outstanding as sales increased over both the prior year’s second quarter and this year’s first quarter. Net income rose to $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the $8.4 million earned in the second quarter of 2009. Our performance reflects continued improvement in our principal end markets in 2010 as compared to the prior year’s recessionary conditions. Our performance also reflects the ongoing benefit of actions taken in the last two years to structurally improve our long term competitiveness.

"Continued improvement in the second half of 2010 remains dependent on the further strengthening of economic conditions. Notably, continued improvement in our industrial business, typically booked and shipped within ninety days, will be required to maintain favorable comparisons against the prior year as we continue to expect moderation in our wind energy and military businesses in the second half of this year.

"Our results in the first half of 2010 reflect the benefits of market leadership in sound end markets together with the impact of aggressive management of costs and spending. These actions, together with our robust free cash flow and strong balance sheet, position us well going forward regardless of the broader macroeconomic concerns arising recently.”

Segment Results and Review

Friction Control Products sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $79.7 million compared to $64.2 million in the 2009 second quarter. Sales to most major markets were higher in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. Notably, our industrial machinery, semiconductor, medical, military and wind energy markets performed well.

Wind energy sales were $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the $19.8 million of wind energy sales in the second quarter of 2009. Comparisons to the prior year will be more challenging in the second half of 2010 as the second half of 2009 had significant wind energy sales that had been deferred from the second quarter of 2009 due to the adverse financial and economic conditions in early 2009. Year-to-date wind sales were $54.4 million compared to $40.7 million in the first half of 2009. The Company continues to expect wind shipments for the full year of 2010 to be comparable to the $103.0 million of wind energy shipments in the full year of 2009. Longer term, the enactment of a clear, actionable Renewable Electricity Standard and a sustained economic recovery is a prerequisite for meaningful growth in future wind energy shipments.

Second quarter 2010 Friction Control Products operating income totaled $20.3 million, compared to $9.8 million in the prior second quarter. This segment benefited from increased volumes and the operating leverage provided by an improved cost structure.

Velocity Control Products sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $15.1 million compared to $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating income for this segment in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $4.0 million compared to $0.9 million earned in the second quarter of 2009, due primarily to improved volume and operating leverage.

Other Industrial Products sales in the second quarter of 2010 equaled $26.7 million compared to $23.9 million in the prior year second quarter resulting principally from higher demand for liquid filtration, air filtration, and metal alloy products. Operating income increased to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to operating income of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, due to higher volumes, improved operating leverage, and net cost reductions.

Order Activity

Orders were $108.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $67.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 59.5 percent. Wind energy orders were $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. The Company expects more significant wind orders in the second half of 2010 as customers formalize their requirements for the upcoming year.

Backlog at July 3, 2010 was $186.5 million compared to $242.8 million at July 4, 2009 and $199.8 million at April 3, 2010, the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The decline in backlog reflects the timing of strong year-to-date wind energy shipments in excess of orders received thus far in 2010. Year-to-date non-wind orders have exceeded sales with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05.

Financial Position and Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The improvement over the second quarter of 2009 reflects higher second quarter 2010 net income and the Company’s voluntary additional contribution of $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 to its qualified pension plans which was not repeated in 2010. Readers should refer to the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures exhibit for the calculation of free cash flow and the reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.18 per share or $6.1 million and repurchased 33,817 shares of Company common stock for $1.3 million. Year-to-date share repurchases totaled 241,254 shares for $8.8 million. For the third quarter of 2010, the Company declared a dividend of $.19 per share, payable on October 4, 2010. This represents the fourth consecutive annual increase in quarterly dividends and reflects the Company’s confidence in the fundamental strength and cash generating ability of its businesses.

The Company had unrestricted cash totaling $283.7 million and no debt outstanding as of July 3, 2010.

Kaydon's management believes free cash flow, as defined above and a non-GAAP measure, is an important indicator of the Company's ability to generate excess cash above levels required for capital investment to support future growth. However, it should be viewed as supplemental data, rather than as a substitute or alternative to the comparable GAAP measure.

Kaydon's management believes EBITDA, as defined above and a non-GAAP measure, is a determinant of the Company's capacity to incur additional senior capital to enhance future profit growth and cash flow growth. In addition, EBITDA is widely used by financial analysts and investors. Also, EBITDA is the metric used to determine payments under the Company's annual incentive compensation program for senior managers. However, EBITDA, as defined, should be viewed as supplemental data, rather than as a substitute or alternative to the comparable GAAP measure.
