BFGoodrich and Coltec Industries Both Achieve Record Second Quarter Results
21 July 1999
BFGoodrich and Coltec Industries Both Achieve Record Second Quarter ResultsCHARLOTTE, N.C., July 21 -- BFGoodrich and Coltec Industries each reported record results for the second quarter, continuing the impressive growth that the recently merged companies have achieved individually during the past 12 quarters. Excluding special items, BFGoodrich net income increased 22 percent to $68.0 million, or 90 cents per share, compared to $55.9 million, or 74 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Coltec's net earnings increased to $31.8 million, or 48 cents per share, from $30.3 million, or 44 cents per share, a per-share increase of 9 percent compared to last year's second quarter, excluding non-recurring charges and extraordinary items. In addition, Coltec achieved free cash flow of $26 million for the quarter, excluding merger-related expenditures, and is more than halfway toward its stated goal of $100 million in free cash flow for all of 1999. Second quarter sales increased 7 percent to $1.1 billion at BFGoodrich, while Coltec reported sales of $382 million, about equal to last year excluding the Holley Performance Products business which Coltec divested in the second quarter of 1998. The companies completed their merger on July 12 and will begin reporting consolidated results in the third quarter. In commenting on the quarter's results, David L. Burner, BFGoodrich's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "BFGoodrich and Coltec continued to deliver strong earnings growth. During the second quarter, the aerospace businesses of both companies achieved operating income growth of approximately 20 percent on higher sales and improved margins. Performance Materials generated higher profits and margins as steady improvement continues in the operations despite soft business conditions throughout the chemical industry. And Coltec's industrial operations reported a slight decline in operating income, excluding Holley. Burner added that, "With the completion of the merger, management's focus is on quickly integrating the two organizations and realizing the shareholder value inherent in this combination." BFGoodrich's results in the 1999 second quarter as discussed above exclude an after-tax charge of $6.4 million, or 8 cents per share, related to the closing of the corporate aircraft operations and certain executive severance payments. Including this charge, net income was $61.6 million, or 82 cents per share. Coltec's results in the 1999 second quarter as discussed above exclude an after-tax gain of $4.1 million, or 6 cents per share, related to the sale of real estate and an equity interest in a specialty bearings venture. Including this gain, net income in the quarter was $35.9 million, or 54 cents per share. BFGoodrich Segment Review Aerospace segment sales increased 15 percent to $771 million from $670 million in the second quarter of 1998. Operating income increased 20 percent to $108.9 million from $90.9 million reflecting strong demand, particularly for aftermarket products and services. All four operating groups contributed to higher sales and operating income. The results also benefited from a settlement related to the supply of aerostructures for the PW4000 engine for the A300/310 and MD-11 program. In Performance Materials, segment sales declined to $311 million from $341 million in the year-ago quarter; however, operating income increased 7 percent to $43.0 million from $40.2 million in last year's second quarter. The increase in profits reflects significantly improved results in two operating groups -- polymer additives and specialty plastics, and consumer specialties - - offset to a degree by lower volumes and prices in the textiles and coatings solutions business. Coltec Segment Review In the Aerospace segment, second quarter sales increased 7 percent to $196 million and operating income equaled $34.5 million, 21 percent above the year-ago quarter excluding non-recurring charges in that period. Every business contributed to higher profits with the greatest gains coming from the landing gear operations reflecting increased shipments of fully dressed landing gear systems, improved operations at the Texas facility, and continuing strength in the landing gear overhaul and maintenance business. The engine component businesses achieved higher results reflecting increased demand for regional jets, higher productivity, and the positive impact of new programs and mix changes. In the Industrial segment, sales equaled $187 million, approximately 6 percent below last year, excluding Holley. Operating profit in the quarter was $37.6 million, approximately 4 percent below last year excluding non- recurring charges and Holley in that period. Weakness continued in most manufacturing industries. First Half Review For the first six months of 1999, BFGoodrich's income from continuing operations and net income, excluding special items, increased 22 percent to $133.8 million or $1.78 per share, compared to $110.1 million, or $1.46 per share, from continuing operations in the first half of last year. Special items totaled $22.9 million after-tax, or 30 cents per share, for restructuring costs in the Performance Materials segment, the closing of corporate aircraft operations and executive severance payments. Including these charges, net income and income from continuing operations in the first half of 1999 was $110.9 million, or $ 1.48 per share. Sales in the first half of 1999 were $2.1 billion, up 9 percent from $1.9 billion last year. For the first six months of 1999, Coltec Industries' earnings from operations, excluding the second quarter gain, equaled $59.3 million, or 90 cents per share. Coltec's net income in the first half, including this gain, was $63.3 million, or 96 cents per share, compared to $60.6 million, or 89 cents per share, in the first half of 1998. As a result of the merger with Coltec Industries, BFGoodrich has become a Fortune 300 multi-industry company with annual revenues of approximately $6 billion and leading market positions in aerospace systems, performance materials and industrial products. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. For more information, please visit our website at www. bfgoodrich.com.
