Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company
Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) reported first quarter 2010 results
from continuing operations.
First Quarter 2010 Highlights
First quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations were $0.10, compared with $0.25 per share in the first
quarter of last year. As expected, results in the quarter were
negatively impacted by continued poor end-market conditions in the
Company's Harsco Infrastructure business segment.
Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2010
was $9.7 million, compared with $21.0 million last year. Sales in
the first quarter of 2010 increased by 6.5 percent to $742 million,
compared with $697 million in the first quarter of last year.
Foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $41
million in the quarter and income before taxes by approximately
$2.8 million.
Comment
Commenting on the Company's results, Harsco Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Salvatore D. Fazzolari said, "Our first quarter
of 2010 results were in line with our overall
expectations. This included strong performance from Harsco
Rail and Harsco Metals, with both reporting higher year-on-year
sales, operating income and operating margins, but Harsco
Infrastructure performed well below our expectations. In the
Harsco Minerals and Harsco Industrial ("All Other") category, our
Harsco Minerals businesses achieved higher sales, income and
margins, while our Harsco Industrial businesses, despite somewhat
lower sales, were able to report flat income and higher margins
compared with last year due to successful cost containment
efforts.
"Our Harsco Infrastructure Segment reported a loss for the
quarter on reduced sales. We have yet to see a turnaround in
non-residential end-market conditions in the major geographies we
serve. Pricing deteriorated at a more rapid rate than we had
expected, equipment utilization rates declined to levels unseen in
the past, and project postponements and deferrals by customers
were much greater than we had anticipated. Results in the
quarter were further negatively impacted by a very difficult
winter.
"Overall, our longer-term outlook remains positive. The
uplift in results from our Harsco Metals and Harsco Minerals
businesses is expected to continue throughout the current
year. Our Harsco Rail business is expected to have another
strong year in sales, income and margins comparable to its record
year in 2009. Our Harsco Industrial businesses are expected to
perform reasonably well but operating income will be negatively
impacted by higher LIFO expense in 2010 compared with 2009.
"Our major challenge for 2010 will continue to be our Harsco
Infrastructure business. Non-residential construction markets,
particularly in the U.S. and Europe, will continue to be
challenging for the balance of the year. Non-residential
construction is a late cycle business that usually follows GDP
growth by about 12 months. We expect this business to incur a
further operating loss in the second quarter, but at a somewhat
reduced level from the first quarter. We do, however, expect
sequential improvement and profitability in the Harsco
Infrastructure business in each quarter for the second half of the
year. We continue to reduce our branch structure, which will
result in significant cost savings, but not until the second half
of 2010. Further, we continue to develop this business in
economies outside the U.S. and Europe that have greater prospects
for both near-term and long-term growth.
"Due to the continued difficult end-market conditions for our
Harsco Infrastructure business, and the uncertainty as to the
timing of a turnaround in the major markets it serves, especially
the U.S. and Europe, we feel it is prudent to revise our full year
EPS guidance from continuing operations to $1.55 to $1.65 per
share, from previous guidance of $2.00 to $2.10 per share."
First Quarter Business Review
Harsco Infrastructure
This Segment incurred an operating loss in the first quarter of
2010. Non-residential construction spending continues to be at
depressed levels in the U.S. and most parts of Europe,
significantly affecting both pricing and utilization rates. In
addition, exceptionally difficult weather conditions in the first
quarter, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, further contributed
to the lower level of construction activity in the quarter.
Sales in the first quarter decreased 12 percent to $251 million
from $284 million last year. Foreign currency translation
increased sales by approximately $14 million in the quarter and had
a $0.4 million positive effect on operating income. An
operating loss of $19.3 million was incurred in the quarter,
compared with operating income in last year's first quarter of
$18.8 million. Restructuring charges in the first quarter
of 2010 were as expected, but were more than offset by the
combination of property gains and purchase accounting
adjustments. Net gains in the first quarter were
$3.1 million, compared with $2.1 million in net gains in the
prior year.
While difficult end-market conditions continue, the Company
foresees improved sequential results. The Segment is expected
to incur a somewhat smaller loss in the second quarter this year,
but return to profitability in the second half of the year due
principally to cost reduction benefits, contribution from emerging
markets expansion, seasonal factors and some expected improvement
in overall non-residential construction activity as the year
progresses. There is some evidence of the beginning of a
gradual improvement in overall bidding activity in the major
markets currently being served. Also, the Company continues to
execute its strategy of developing opportunities outside of its
principal markets in the U.S. and Europe. Lastly, the Company
is confident it will achieve its goal of at least $25 million in
overall cost cuts, principally for this Segment, and will see the
benefit of such savings beginning in the second half of 2010.
Harsco Metals
Results in the quarter continued to benefit from a steady
increase in global steel production. While still significantly
lower than the peaks seen at the end of 2007 and the beginning of
2008, both steel production and utilization rates have come off of
the unprecedented lows of late 2008 and early 2009. Results
were also positively affected by restructuring benefits from prior
actions the Company has taken.
Sales in the first quarter increased almost 25 percent to $297
million from $238 million in last year's comparable
quarter. Foreign currency translation increased sales in the
quarter by approximately $24 million. Operating income in the
quarter was $11.4 million, compared with an operating loss of
$2.8 million in the prior year quarter. Foreign currency
translation increased operating income by $1.3 million in the
quarter. Operating margins in the first quarter of 2010 were
3.8 percent, compared with the operating loss last
year. Higher fuel costs, a stronger than anticipated U.S.
dollar in translation, certain continuing restructuring actions and
higher start-up costs for new contracts all served to offset
somewhat the operating income and margin improvement in the
quarter. However, the new contract starts are expected to
benefit and improve operating results and margins for the remainder
of the year.
The Company maintains an overall positive outlook for its Harsco
Metals Segment. Strengthening end-market fundamentals, new
contract signings, further restructuring benefits and a continued
focus on reducing exposure to fuel costs with annual contract
renewals and new contract signings should all have a positive
effect on results for the remainder of 2010 and beyond.
Harsco Rail
Sales, operating income and margins continue to improve for the
Company's Harsco Rail Segment. Strong unit deliveries, the
timing of such deliveries and continuous process improvements lead
this performance.
Sales in the first quarter increased 59 percent to $95 million
from last year's $60 million. Foreign currency translation
increased sales by $1.4 million in the quarter, but did not have a
significant impact on operating income. In the first quarter
of 2010, operating income was $20.4 million, almost triple the $7.2
million reported in the prior year quarter. Significantly,
operating margins grew to 21.4 percent in the first quarter,
compared with 12.1 percent last year.
Growing global spending on track maintenance equipment, parts
and services and new track construction equipment continues to
present the Company's Harsco Rail unit with significant
opportunities. For the remainder of the year, results may
continue to be affected by the timing of deliveries and may not be
as strong as the exceptional results in the first quarter, but the
Company still expects its Harsco Rail Segment to deliver overall
sales, income and margins comparable to its record performance of
last year.
Harsco Minerals & Harsco Industrial ("All Other"
category)
This operating Group continues to perform well for the
Company. Lower sales and income from the Company's Harsco
Industrial units was offset by strong performance in the Harsco
Minerals businesses. Both the Harsco Minerals businesses and
Harsco Industrial businesses posted improved operating margins, as
the Company's continuous improvement discipline continues to
improve results.
While overall sales for the Group declined by 14 percent to $99
million in the first quarter from $115 million for the same period
last year, operating income of $16.3 million was comparable to
last year and operating margins of 16.5 percent were 240 basis
points higher than those of the first quarter of 2009. For
this Group, foreign currency translation increased sales by
$1.5 million, but did not have a material effect on operating
income.
The outlook for this Group reflects continuing
balance. Continued strong results are expected from the
Company's Harsco Minerals businesses as steel production continues
at levels well above last year, aided by expected further
year-over-year, end-market improvements in its roofing granules and
abrasives business. Longer-term, the Harsco Minerals
businesses will further benefit from the start-up of new contract
signings and continued strong bidding activity. These improved
results will continue to be somewhat offset by lower results in
2010 from the Company's Harsco Industrial units, principally due to
higher LIFO expense, compared with the final nine months of last
year.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other
Matters
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter
of 2010 was $30.1 million, 24 percent less than the $39.6
million for the prior year period due to a decline in net
income.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2010 were $29.8
million, a 17 percent decrease from $36.0 million for the same
period last year.
As discussed at its Annual Analysts Conference in December, the
Company is confident of the successful execution of its capital
investment strategy which resulted in significantly reduced capital
expenditures in 2009. Such reductions will be maintained in
2010 and beyond and the Company is targeting annual free cash flow
(cash from operations minus capital expenditures) to be in the area
of $250 million or greater for the foreseeable future.
During the quarter, the Company's balance sheet debt increased
by $9.8 million.
Due principally to the loss in its Harsco Infrastructure
Segment, Economic Value Added (EVA®) declined in the
first quarter of 2010 over the comparable 2009 period.
Outlook
Harsco Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Stephen
J. Schnoor said, "We remain pleased with the positive direction
evidenced by results from our Harsco Metals, Harsco Rail and Harsco
Minerals & Harsco Industrial units. However, overall
Company results in the near-term will continue to be adversely
affected by very difficult end-market conditions within the Harsco
Infrastructure business. Also, the resurgent U.S. dollar,
particularly against the European currencies, along with higher oil
prices could continue to have further negative impact on results on
a sequential basis relative to the assumptions used to establish
our initial guidance for 2010.
"As such, for the second quarter of 2010 the Company is
forecasting earnings from continuing operations in the range of
$0.40 to $0.45 per share, compared with $0.52 in last year's second
quarter. Further, given that we foresee a continuing difficult
operating environment for our Harsco Infrastructure business well
into the second quarter, we are revising our full year 2010 EPS
guidance from continuing operations to $1.55 to $1.65 per share,
from $2.00 to $2.10 per share.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The
Company's Management believes that this measure is meaningful to
investors because management reviews cash flows generated from
operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due
to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to
maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to
generate future cash flows from operations. It is important
to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash
flow available for discretionary expenditures since other
non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service
requirements, are not deducted from the measure.
