Dover Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2001 Results
NEW YORK, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) earned $37.0 million or $.18 per diluted share from continuing operations in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $127.3 million or $.62 per diluted share from continuing operations in the comparable period last year. Including discontinued operations, Dover earned $23.5 million or $.12 per diluted share in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $134.7 million or $.66 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. Businesses classified as discontinued in the fourth quarter, largely in response to economic conditions and the need to restructure operations, generated a loss of $13.5 million or $.06 per diluted share in the period. The results in the fourth quarter include $15.1 million ($9.8 million net of tax), or $.05 per diluted share in additional expenses for severance, facility closures, business restructuring and asset impairment charges. Excluding these additional expenses, net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $.23 per diluted share or $46.8 million. These expenses reflect actions taken as a result of continued adverse business conditions in the electronics markets and the broad recession in the manufacturing economy. Sales in the fourth quarter were $1,049.5 million, a 20% decline from $1,316.7 million in the same period last year.
For the full year 2001, Dover earned $248.5 million or $1.22 per diluted share compared to $519.6 million or $2.54 last year, and excluding discontinued operations earned $166.8 million or $.82 per diluted share for 2001 compared to $516.8 million or $2.52, last year. Earnings from discontinued operations of $81.7 million or $.40 per diluted share also include the impact of the A-C Compressor and the Dovatech businesses sold in the second quarter. Excluding restructuring charges incurred in the third and the fourth quarters of 2001, net income from continuing operations for the full year was $211.3 million or $1.04 per diluted share. Sales for the 2001 fiscal year were $4.5 billion, a 14% decline from $5.2 billion last year.
Free cash flow for the full year of 2001 exceeded that of the record earnings year in 2000. Free cash flow, defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges, after dividends, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, totaled $333.3 million for the year, a 15% increase from $290.4 million in the prior year. For the full year 2001, free cash flow was 7.5% of sales and 134% of net income.
Continuing segment earnings before taxes for the quarter were $44.6 million, a decline of 72% from the prior year. Excluding additional expenses of $15.1 million, segment earnings for the quarter were $59.7 million, down 62% or $99.1 million from $158.8 million last year. In the Dover Technologies segment, markets remain in recession, leading to a 53% decline in sales as compared to the prior year, and the Circuit Board Assembly and Test ("CBAT") businesses reported a loss for the third quarter in a row. Compared to the 2001 third quarter, Technologies' sales declined 6%, but on a comparable basis the losses narrowed. In the Dover Industries segment, income declined 28% from the comparable quarter last year on a sales decline of 5%, but income was ahead of the 2001 third quarter on a slight sales decline. In Dover Resources, quarterly sales and income were up from the prior year, but off slightly from the 2001 third quarter as a number of markets weakened in the fourth quarter. Dover Diversified, burdened by a severe, but isolated, operational challenge had a 12% sales increase but a 57% earnings decline compared to last year's fourth quarter, and income dropped 18% from the third quarter on a 2% sales decline.
Commenting on the results and the current outlook, Mr. Thomas L. Reece, Chairman and CEO said, "I am particularly pleased to turn the calendar on 2001 which was the most difficult year in memory for Dover Corporation. The 2001 results reflected the compounding negative impact of the virtual meltdown in the electronics industry, particularly in telecoms and datacoms so important to both our CBAT and our SEC businesses, a recession in the manufacturing sector of the economy for a second year, and the devastation of the terrorist attacks and the economic aftermath of 9/11. All but a very few of our nearly fifty stand alone businesses have been negatively impacted. Just by way of caution, my relief at seeing 2001 in the rearview mirror should not be taken as any indication that I have particularly high hopes for 2002. I see no evidence to support much optimism at this time and our business plans have been built accordingly. I do believe, however, that the worst is behind us and that our companies have done the right things during this difficult time. They are well-positioned to take maximum advantage of whatever opportunities are available to them during the year from the niche markets they each serve. "
In the fourth quarter, Dover adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). As required, Dover has retroactively applied FAS 144 to all transactions occurring during 2001 and all prior interim and full year reporting periods have been restated to reflect the impact of its adoption. Thus, certain discontinued businesses are presented separately from continuing operations in the financial statements. The largest component of the fourth quarter loss was the write-down of the discontinued operations to their fair value. None of the six entities discontinued in the fourth quarter, each of which was a component of a Dover company, was material to the historical earnings or sales of the market segments in which they were reported, or to Dover as a whole, either individually or in aggregate. The largest component of the full year 2001 income from discontinued operations of $81.7 million or $.40 per diluted share was the gain on the sale of businesses in the second quarter.
To aid investors in understanding the impact of this new accounting pronouncement on Dover's current and historical sales and earnings comparisons, there is an exhibit to this release (also available on our Website http://www.dovercorporation.com) containing an unaudited summary by segment of the sales and income from continuing operations, and the income (or loss) from continuing and discontinued operations for Dover as a whole, for each of the last eight quarterly periods. Also to aid investors, attached (and available on the Website) is a summary of the expenses and other charges by segment that Dover has incurred in the third and fourth quarter.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Dover Technologies' fourth quarter sales declined $288.8 million or 53% to $ 252.2 million from the same period the prior year. Technologies lost $8.2 million in the fourth quarter compared to segment earnings of $80.8 million in the comparable quarter last year. Excluding the impact of $4.5 million in expenses for severance, facility closure, and asset reserves, Technologies lost $3.7 million in the fourth quarter. These charges were the result of specific responses to the severe downturn being experienced in the electronics markets. For the full year 2001, sales were $1,258.0 million and segment earnings were $33.9 million, excluding the impact of $46.9 million in expenses incurred in the third and fourth quarter for asset reserves and other restructuring related costs. Including these expenses Technologies' loss was $13.0 million for the year. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $15.1 million to sales in the quarter, with a loss of $1.2 million after acquisition write-offs.
Technologies' Circuit Board Assembly and Test ("CBAT") business recorded a loss of $11.3 million for the fourth quarter, excluding restructuring expenses of $.7 million (primarily severance), compared to earnings of $48.6 million for last year's comparable period. Fourth quarter sales were $131.5 million, a decline of $201.2 million or 60% from last year. Bookings, at $129.2 million, were down 51% from the same period last year but were 18% higher than the third quarter of 2001. The book-to-bill ratio was .98 for the fourth quarter. Backlog, while at depressed levels at $53.5 million, was 19% higher than at the end of the third quarter. Current order intake is sporadic, and while there are many factors that will prevent a market recovery soon, the CBAT business is cautiously optimistic that the market will not deteriorate substantially from current levels.
Efforts to reduce costs in response to the depressed market conditions continued in the fourth quarter, particularly through another large lay-off at Universal Instruments, CBAT's largest company. While CBAT sales remain below current breakeven levels, the full impact of all cost reductions accomplished to-date was not available for the full quarter. While the flow through of these actions was not fully realized in the fourth quarter, and some further steps to lower the breakeven point to current sales levels may be necessary, Dover will maintain sufficient investment in this business during this downturn to assure a strong competitive position when the market does recover. In Technologies' SEC business, sales in the quarter were $64.5 million, a decline of $95.0 million or 60% from the same period last year. Earnings, excluding the impact of $4.9 million in severance, other restructuring costs, and inventory reserves, were a loss of $.2 million, a decline of $20.8 million from last year's fourth quarter. Net bookings in the fourth quarter of $47.1 million were down from $130.5 million in the same period last year but were $30.1 million or 56% higher than the third quarter. The book-to-bill ratio was .73 for the quarter, leaving backlog at $52.7 million at the end of the period. The datacom/telecom/networking customers who had dominated sales in 2000 and earlier 2001 are experiencing very low operating rates as capital spending for infrastructure appears frozen. There are no signs of near term improvement in those markets, though they remain very exciting longer term. Industrial, military, space and medical customers remain important.
In the quarter, Imaje, the French-based industrial ink-jet printer and ink manufacturer, had double digit sales and earnings increases as compared to last year, to cap a very successful year focused on increasing market penetration.
Dover Industries' fourth quarter sales declined 5% or $15.8 million to $280.9 million and segment income declined 28% or $13.3 million to $33.9 million compared to the same period last year. Excluding the effect of restructuring charges of $1.9 million, segment income was $35.8 million, a decline of 24% from the prior year, but up slightly from the $35.1 million in income reported in the third quarter before write-offs. For the full year, sales and segment income from continuing operations, excluding the third and fourth quarter charges and expenses of $4.4 million were $1,160.1 million and $146.7 million, down 4% and 23% respectively from the prior year. Segment bookings in the quarter were down 7% to $257.1 million and the book-to-bill ratio was .92 for the current quarter. Backlog decreased 1% from last year's fourth quarter and 12% from the third quarter of 2001 to $165.3 million. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $13.4 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs.
Except for Tipper Tie, PDQ and Chief, whose quarterly results all essentially matched last year, Industries companies each reported weaker results than the same period last year, all as a function of a much weaker economic environment. Tipper Tie, seasonally strong in the fourth quarter, also outperformed the third quarter, as did Chief and PDQ due to successful new products and lower product launch costs. Heil Trailer had its strongest quarter in a difficult year, despite the impact of a currency loss related to its small Argentinean operation.
Both Rotary Lift and Texas Hydraulics, which have been performing well in very difficult markets all year, saw spending in their markets decline sharply in the fourth quarter, and experienced both earnings and margin pressure.
Heil Environmental's results again trailed the prior year results but were consistent with the prior quarter. Heil Environmental and Marathon, which are influenced by many of the same industry factors, together accounted for roughly 40% of Industries' earnings decline for the full year. Triton, where quarterly comparisons to the prior year remained unfavorable, accounted for approximately 20% of the full year earnings decline.
Dover Diversified's continuing operations generated fourth quarter sales of $287.5 million, a $29.9 million or 12% increase from the same period last year. Segment income was $17.5 million, a decline of $23.5 million or 57% from the same period last year. Excluding the impact of asset impairment charges and expenses for restructuring actions totaling $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2001, segment income was $24.3 million, a decline of 41% from the comparable prior period. For the full year, sales of $1,104.6 million were up 8% from the prior year. Income from continuing operations, excluding the third and fourth quarter charges and expenses of $12.4 million was $105.7 million, down 30% from the prior year. Bookings in the quarter were $261.0 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of .91; backlog at the end of the quarter of $374.4 million was 17% higher than last year and 5% lower than the third quarter. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $21.7 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs.
Diversified's quarterly comparisons were again severely impacted by continued losses at Crenlo (though losses declined from the prior quarters in 2001), as compared to strong profitability throughout the prior year. Crenlo management's operational improvements have struggled to keep pace with the impact of continued weakening in all segments of this business.
In addition, several of Diversified's companies sales and earnings comparisons have continued to deteriorate as 2001 progressed, due to weakening conditions in their served markets, notably SWF, Mark Andy, and Tranter. These businesses also accounted for most of Diversified's $6.8 million in impairment and restructuring charges in the quarter. In the fourth quarter the slowdown in the aerospace market also began to impact Sargent noticeably, and the outlook became uncertain both for OEM and aftermarket component sales.
Hill Phoenix's performance and outlook remain very favorable, particularly in light of lackluster market conditions. Performance Motorsports and Waukesha, who have enjoyed good markets most of the year, had favorable comparisons for the quarter and full year, helped by acquisition contribution.
Dover Resources' continuing operations generated a fourth quarter sales increase of 3% or $7.0 million, to $230.0 million and segment earnings were $26.1 million, a 4% increase from the same period last year. Excluding $1.7 million of restructuring charges, fourth quarter earnings of $27.8 million were an 11% increase from the same period last year. For the year 2001, sales were $942.5 million, up 7% from the prior year. Excluding third and fourth quarter charges and expenses of $4.7 million, full year income from continuing operations was $119.8 million, flat with the prior year. Segment bookings in the quarter were down 3% from the prior year to $217.2 million and the book-to-bill ratio was .94. Backlog finished at $86.8 million, a 12% decrease from last year and a 14% decrease from the third quarter. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $3.8 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs.
Resources' oil and gas market related businesses (Petroleum Equipment Group, C. Lee Cook and Quartzdyne), had experienced declining earnings on a sequential basis throughout 2001, but had outperformed the prior year until the fourth quarter, when they fell slightly below the prior year's level. The outlook in this market is very uncertain, but with a more clearly negative bias now than was the case even last quarter.
The automotive and industrial markets served by De-Sta-Co Industries and De-Sta-Co Manufacturing, the transportation markets that influence OPW Fluid Transfer Group, the broad industrial markets served by Wilden and Tulsa Winch, and the petroleum retailing markets served by OPW Fueling Components were all very weak in the fourth quarter.
Blackmer and RPA Process Technologies, which serve the process industries, and Hydro Systems, serving the dispenser market, all had very strong results in the quarter as compared to their very weak results in the same period last year, but this is not indicative of a favorable trend because the outlook for capital spending in their markets is unclear.
Dover Corporation also reports its pretax earnings on an EBITACQ basis (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and non-cash charges arising from purchase accounting for Acquisitions). Fourth quarter EBITACQ for continuing operations of $86.0 million was 61.3% lower than the prior year's fourth quarter.
Dover's tax rate for continuing operations for the current year was 16.9% for the fourth quarter. The low rate reflects the impact of European tax restructuring that was finalized in the fourth quarter. The tax rate for continuing operations for the full year was 30.0% compared to 30.9% for the prior year.
For the full year 2001, Dover invested $281.8 million in acquisitions compared to $506.3 million last year. Dover completed one add-on acquisition during the quarter in the Dover Diversified segment. This acquisition had a negligible impact on net income due to acquisition-related amortization and depreciation. Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months added $54.0 million in sales for the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs.
Net debt levels declined from the end of the third quarter of 2001 by $137.5 million to $900.2 million at December 31, 2001, due to reductions in the investment in working capital in the fourth quarter, the low level of acquisition spending in the quarter, and the absence of share repurchases in the quarter. Debt reduction for the full year was $388.2 million, and the net debt to equity ratio at the end of the year was 26.3%, the lowest level since 1992.
Year-to-date repurchases totaled 934,200 shares at an average price of $33.17 for a total investment of $31.0 million.
