Daktronics, Inc. (NASDAQ - DAKT) today reported fiscal 2021 second
quarter results. Daktronics reported fiscal 2021 second quarter net
sales of $127.4 million, operating income of $6.7 million, net
income of $3.4 million, and earnings per diluted share of $0.08.
This compares to net sales of $174.9 million, operating income of
$4.8 million, net income of $7.3 million, and $0.16 per diluted
share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2021 second
quarter orders were $135.7 million, compared to $151.1 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Product order backlog at the end
of the fiscal 2021 second quarter was $201 million, compared to
$182 million a year earlier and $192 million at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2021.(1)
For the six months ended October 31, 2020,
net sales were $271.0 million, operating income was $16.2 million,
net income was $10.9 million, and earnings per diluted share was
$0.24 per diluted share. This compares to net sales of $355.2
million, operating income of $12.4 million, net income of $14.3
million, and $0.32 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal
2020.
Fiscal 2021 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2020
was a 53-week year; therefore, the six months ended
October 31, 2020 contains operating results for 26 weeks while
the six months ended November 2, 2019 contained operating
results for 27 weeks. Sales, orders, and other results of
operations were impacted due to the additional week of
operations.
Cash generated by operating activities in the
first six months of fiscal 2021 was $40.0 million, compared to cash
consumed of $10.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020.
Cash generated by operating activities is primarily derived from
cash received from customers, offset by cash payments for
inventories, subcontractors, employee related costs, and operating
expense outflows. Year-to-date cash provided from operations
differed as compared to last year primarily due to focus on
customer collections, decreasing inventory levels, lowering
personnel and operating expense outflows as we manage operations
through the uncertain COVID times. Cash generation and use can vary
based on order timing and levels, varying contractual payment terms
from customers, and payments for inventory to meet delivery and
installation schedules. Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by
or used in operating activities less net investment in property and
equipment, was a positive $34.5 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2021, as compared to a negative $19.9 million for the same
period of fiscal 2020. Net investment in property and equipment was
$5.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021, as compared
to $9.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020. Cash,
restricted cash, and marketable securities at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2021 were $74.4 million, which compares to $32.9
million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and $41.6
million at the end of fiscal 2020. Borrowings on the line of credit
were $15.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021
up from $0 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and
consistent with the $15.0 million at the end of fiscal 2020.
Orders for the second quarter of fiscal 2021
decreased 10.2 percent as compared to the second quarter of fiscal
2020 and decreased 23.9 percent as compared to the first six months
of fiscal 2020. Each business unit's order volume was lower in
fiscal 2021 due to lower market activity from the resulting
economic and business impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related
timing of large contract orders which cause lumpiness.
Net sales decreased by 27.2 percent in the
second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2020 and 23.7 percent as compared to the first six months of
fiscal 2020. Net sales decreased in all business units for the same
reasons causing order booking declines and due to varied timing in
the related conversion to sales based on customer project
schedules.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
26.2 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to
22.9 percent a year earlier. The improved gross profit rate is a
result of the mix of service agreement sales in second quarter
fiscal 2021 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we
believe this higher gross profit level will not be sustained in
future quarters. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal
2020, we experienced higher project delivery costs and tariff
related expenses, decreasing the gross profit rate in that
period.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 2021 were $26.7 million, compared to $35.3 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2020, or a decrease of 24.4 percent. This
decline is attributed to our focus on managing our expenses to
expected order volumes. Declines in overall operating expenses were
attributed to lower personnel related costs offset by severance
costs for reductions in force, reduced third-party contractor use,
lower travel and entertainment activities, and lowered marketing
and convention events. Operating income as a percent of sales for
the quarter was 5.2 percent as compared to 2.8 percent during the
second quarter of fiscal 2020.
The effective tax rate expense for the second
quarter of fiscal 2021 was 41.1 percent compared to an effective
tax rate benefit of 63.8 percent for the second quarter of fiscal
2020. Our fiscal 2021 year-to-date effective rate expense was 26.2
percent compared to fiscal 2020 year-to-date effective benefit of
14.6 percent. The change in the effective tax rate year-over-year
was driven primarily by a decrease in tax credits and other
permanent differences as a percentage of estimated current fiscal
year pre-tax income.
Reece Kurtenbach, chairman, president and chief
executive officer stated, "For the first half of the year, we have
managed operating expenses and working capital to align with
expected declines in orders and sales as our customers adjust to
the economic and business implications of COVID-19. Even with these
impacts, we had customers place multimillion-dollar orders for
sporting event venues, out of home digital advertising billboards,
and transportation applications this quarter. We have carefully
reduced and continue to strategically make choices on levels of
investments in capital assets and development initiatives. We also
continued the suspension of dividend and share repurchases to help
us maintain stability in liquidity and our cash position."
OutlookKurtenbach added, "We
believe the audiovisual industry fundamentals will drive long-term
growth for our business, but the near-term outlook shows
contraction and greater volatility overall. We are focused on
promoting our value to new and existing markets, while managing our
cost structure to meet the uncertain demand. Even though we face a
challenging fiscal 2021, we are working to emerge as a stronger
organization and to be positioned to capitalize on the recovery
from this pandemic."

*In evaluating its business, Daktronics
considers and uses free cash flow as a key measure of its operating
performance. The term free cash flow is not defined under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not a
measure of operating income, cash flows from operating activities
or other GAAP figures and should not be considered alternatives to
those computations. Free cash flow is intended to provide
information that may be useful for investors when assessing period
to period results.
