Tesma announces fiscal 1999 second quarter resultsCONCORD, ON, March 4 /CNW-PRN/ - Tesma International Inc. (TSE:TSM.A; NASDAQ:TSMA) today announced record second quarter sales, income and earnings per share for the period ended January 31, 1999. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended January 31 January 31 1999 1998 1999 1998 Sales $191.2 $149.4 $395.8 $302.8 Income before income taxes $ 17.8 $ 13.3 $ 37.3 $ 20.3 Net income $ 11.2 $ 8.0 $ 23.1 $ 11.5 Basic earnings per share $ 0.39 $ 0.32 $ 0.81 $ 0.45 Fully diluted earnings per share $ 0.38 $ 0.29 $ 0.78 $ 0.42 Fully diluted earnings per share (excluding litigation settlement) $ 0.78 $ 0.62 Weighted average number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (millions) 30.1 30.0 30.1 30.0 All results are reported in millions of Canadian dollars, except per share figures. Tesma's sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $191.2 million, an increase of 28% over the prior year. For the six month period, reported sales were a record $395.8 million, an increase of 31% over the prior year. Principal factors contributing to this growth were Tesma's increased North American and European content per vehicle, the inclusion of sales generated by recently acquired subsidiaries including Triam Sterling Heights, higher vehicle production volumes and increased tooling sales. For the second quarter, Tesma's income before income taxes was $17.8 million, an improvement of 34% over the $13.3 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. This $4.5 million improvement is the result of higher sales and improved operating performance at certain divisions. For the six month period, income before income taxes increased from $20.3 million to $37.3 million primarily due to the improvements noted above and the absence of the non-recurring charge recorded in 1998. Tesma's fully diluted earnings per share increased 31% to $0.38 from $0.29 for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and, excluding the prior year's litigation settlement, 26% to $0.78 from $0.62 for the six month period. Cash provided from operations was $20.8 million in the second quarter, an increase of $5.4 million over fiscal 1998. Net investment activities for the quarter included $28.0 million for fixed and other asset additions and $11.8 million for the purchase of Hanwha Automotive Components Corporation (``HACC''), a South Korean manufacturer of oil and water pumps. For the six month period, cash provided from operations was $39.6 million, with net investment activities totalling $86.0 million, primarily for the purchase of fixed assets and the acquisitions of HACC and Triam Sterling Heights. The Tesma Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in respect of the second quarter of fiscal 1999 of $0.07 per share on the Class A Subordinate Voting and Class B shares payable on April 15, 1999 to shareholders of record on March 31, 1999.
