Flow International Announces First Quarter Results
Operating Results Continue to Improve
KENT, Wash., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flow International Corporation (Nasdaq: FLOW), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of industrial waterjet machines for cutting and cleaning applications, today reported results for its fiscal 2011 first quarter ended July 31, 2010.
For the fiscal 2011 first quarter, Flow reported consolidated revenues of $46.6 million, a 23% increase from $37.8 million in the prior-year period. Net loss in the current quarter was $0.5 million or $0.01 per share. In comparison, the Company reported a net loss of $8.5 million in the prior-year period.
The first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010 included non-recurring charges. Excluding the impact of a non-recurring tax charge, net income for the current quarter would have been $0.1 million or $0.00 per share. Similarly, excluding non-recurring charges totaling $6.2 million and the related tax effects, the net loss in the prior-year period would have been $2.7 million or $0.07 per share.
"We are pleased with the improvement in revenues from our Standard segment as sales continued to increase sequentially over the last few quarters in most of our major regions," said Charley Brown, President and CEO of Flow. "This growth demonstrates that our new indirect channel of distribution is beginning to bear fruit. More importantly, at these revenue levels, we have now generated our second consecutive quarter of operating profit."
Operations Review for Fiscal 2011 First Quarter
- Standard segment sales, which include sales of systems that do not require significant custom configuration as well as parts and services for those installed systems, were $40.8 million, an increase of $12.5 million or 44% from the fiscal year 2010 first quarter.
- Advanced segment sales, which include sales of complex aerospace and application systems requiring specific custom configuration and advanced features as well as parts and services for those installed systems, were $5.7 million for the quarter. This was consistent with the Company's expectations of a decrease of $3.6 million or 39% from the prior-year quarter. Advanced segment sales are recorded using the percentage of completion method, with lead times ranging as long as 18 to 24 months.
- Aggregate gross margins were 42% for the quarter, compared to gross margin of 37% in the fiscal 2010 first quarter.
- Total overall operating expenses for the quarter were $18.7 million which compares to $16.7 million in the fiscal 2010 first quarter, excluding $4.8 million in non-recurring charges.
- In the current quarter, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.1 million, which includes a discrete non-cash tax charge of $0.7 million related to the repatriation of cash from one of its foreign subsidiaries. In the first quarter of the prior year, the Company recorded a charge of $4.8 million related to the restructuring of operations and a terminated acquisition and a $1.2 million charge for a business that was sold in October 2005 and classified as part of discontinued operations.
