KENT, Wash., March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 2012 third quarter ended January 31, 2012.

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, Flow reported consolidated revenues of $65.8 million, a 15% increase from $57.5 million in the prior fiscal year.  Net income in the current quarter was $3.3 million or $0.07 per share.  In comparison, the Company reported net income in the prior-year period of $1.2 million or $0.03 per share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $8.1 million or 12.3% of sales, compared to $4.9 million in the year-ago quarter.  A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is provided in the accompanying financial tables.

"This marks our sixth sequential quarter of increased sales and a new quarterly record for Flow," said Charley Brown, President and CEO of Flow.  "We also generated operating income in excess of 9% of sales, which represents our highest level of profitability in almost four years."

Operations Review for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2012

  • 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 $59.1 million, an increase of $9.2 million or 18% from the year-ago quarter.
  • Advanced segment sales, which include sales of complex aerospace and application systems requiring specific custom configuration and advanced features, were $6.7 million, a decline of $0.8 million or 11% from the year-ago quarter. Advanced segment sales are recorded using the percentage of completion method, with lead times generally ranging from 12 to 24 months.
  • Aggregate gross margins were 40% for the quarter, which was consistent with the year-ago quarter. Standard segment gross margins were 41%, which is down from 42% in the year-ago quarter as a result of product mix. Advanced segment gross margins were 27% in the current quarter, in line with the year-ago quarter.
  • Total operating expenses for the quarter were $20.1 million, consistent with $20.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

    The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding the effects of income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and other non-cash charges, which includes such items as stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency gains or losses, and other non-cash allowable add backs pursuant to the Company's Credit Facility Agreement.


    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure are significant components of the Company's financial statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive analysis of the overall financial results. The Company uses this measure, together with GAAP financial metrics, to assess its financial performance, allocate resources, evaluate the overall progress towards meeting its long-term financial objectives, and assess compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used in the Company's financial and operational decision making. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of similar measures used by other companies.
