MOUNT AIRY, N.C., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Insteel Industries, Inc. (NasdaqGS: IIIN) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended January 2, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Results

Insteel's first quarter results benefitted from robust demand as construction activity remained strong across its markets.  Net earnings increased to $8.1 million, or $0.42 per share, from $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, in the same period a year ago. 

Net sales increased 22.6% to $119.6 million from $97.6 million in the prior year quarter driven primarily by a 21.6% increase in shipments in addition to a 1.0% increase in average selling prices. On a sequential basis, shipments decreased 15.2% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 reflecting the usual seasonal slowdown while average selling prices increased 2.0%.

Gross margin widened 1,020 basis points to 16.6% from 6.4% in the prior year quarter primarily due to a combination of wider spreads between selling prices and raw material costs and higher shipment volume. Net earnings for the quarter included $0.7 million of restructuring charges related to the Company's March 2020 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Strand-Tech Manufacturing, Inc. ("STM"), which decreased earnings per share by $0.03.

Operating activities provided $14.0 million of cash during quarter compared to $29.6 million in the prior year quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net working capital which used $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to generating $24.6 million in the prior year quarter.

Capital Allocation and Liquidity

Capital expenditures increased to $2.9 million from $0.6 million in the prior year quarter and are expected to total up to $20.0 million in 2021, which include expenditures to upgrade and deploy the STM assets, support the growth of our engineered structural mesh business, invest in our information systems, and fund recurring maintenance requirements.

On December 18, 2020, Insteel paid a special cash dividend totaling $29.0 million, or $1.50 per share, in addition to its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share and ended the quarter debt-free with $50.2 million of cash and no borrowings outstanding on its $100.0 million revolving credit facility.

Outlook

"We are encouraged by the resilience of our markets during the first quarter which is seasonally the weakest period of the year," commented H.O. Woltz III, Insteel's President and CEO.   "Momentum has remained strong through the first weeks of our second quarter driven by solid demand from customers and substantial price increase initiatives which are required to recover rapidly rising raw material costs." 

Woltz continued, "We are pleased to report that on January 8, 2021 the International Trade Commission ruled in our favor with respect to PC Strand trade cases pending against eight countries resulting in the implementation of  duties on their exports to U.S. markets ranging from 24% to 194% of value. We are pleased with this outcome and expect the duties to level the playing field with eight countries that had ignored U.S. trade law in recent years to the detriment of the domestic industry and its employees.   Final determinations against seven additional countries are expected during our third fiscal quarter. Separately, we expect final determinations in our standard welded wire reinforcing trade cases against Mexico before the end of the current quarter." 

"While our full year outlook for 2021 is cautiously optimistic, it remains subject to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 effects on the economy and related uncertainties with respect to funding availability for non-residential construction projects.  We are hopeful that the new Administration and Congress are successful in negotiating an infrastructure initiative that would shore up confidence in these markets and address critical infrastructure deficiencies."  

Conference Call

Insteel will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET today to discuss its first quarter financial results. A live webcast of this call can be accessed on Insteel's website at https://insteelgcs.gcs-web.com/ and will be archived for replay until the next quarterly conference call.

Insteel manufactures and markets prestressed concrete strand and welded wire reinforcement, including engineered structural mesh, concrete pipe reinforcement and standard welded wire reinforcement. Insteel's products are sold primarily to manufacturers of concrete products and concrete contractors for use, primarily, in nonresidential construction applications.
