LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Genlyte
Group Incorporated (NASDAQ:GLYT) today announced record second
quarter net sales of $408.9 million, an increase of 11.7% compared
to $366.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. The Company also
reported record second quarter earnings per share of $1.29, a 4.0%
increase over the $1.24 reported for the second quarter of 2006.
Second quarter net income increased to $37.4 million compared to
$35.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2006. The second
quarter 2006 income before income taxes included a one-time $7.2
million ($4.4 million after-tax) foreign currency exchange gain
related to the return of capital from Canada. The $7.2 million
($4.4 million after- tax) gain was recognized through a reduction
of the currency translation adjustment section of accumulated other
comprehensive income, which is part of stockholder's equity but not
earnings. Excluding this 2006 foreign currency exchange gain, net
income and earnings per share improved 18.7% and 18.3%
respectively. Year-to-date earnings per share were $2.49 compared
to $2.94 for the first half of 2006. Year-to-date net income was
$72.3 million compared to $84.5 million last year. The first
quarter 2006 net income included a one-time net tax benefit of
$24.7 million, or $0.86 per share, related to a change in corporate
tax structuring. In addition, the second quarter of 2006 included
the $7.2 million ($4.4 million after-tax) or $0.15 per share impact
of the foreign currency exchange gain. After excluding the combined
$1.01 impact of these two items from the 2006 year-to-date earnings
per share of $2.94, the first half 2007 earnings per share
increased 29.0%. Sales during the first six months of 2007
increased 15.5% to $803.3 million from $695.3 million in 2006.
Chairman, President and CEO Larry Powers said, "We are pleased to
report second quarter increases in both sales and earnings. Our
focus on higher margin product lines and the price increases helped
us achieve higher sales and gross margins for the second quarter.
"Our commercial lighting business grew moderately from last year,
but the growth was offset by weakness in the residential sector. In
addition, results for the second quarter of 2006 include a spike in
shipments in advance of a price increase during June 2006. Our core
commercial business is participating in the commercial construction
cyclical recovery that began earlier this year and should continue
for the next year or two. However, we are seeing pockets of
softness in the light commercial, suburban retail, and stock and
flow parts of the business. "We are pleased with the second quarter
gross margin increase to 40.6% compared to 39.4% last year. The
operating profit margin increased during the second quarter to
14.7% from 14.0%. These margin increases are primarily attributed
to the effective price increases, increases in volume which
leverage our fixed costs, and the benefit of mix from selling
higher value added products. The operating profit margin
improvement was partially offset by the impact of working capital
currency translation losses totaling $2.3 million, which were
recognized during the current year related to the strengthening of
the Canadian dollar. "We continue to see cumulative year-over-year
cost increases in health care, aluminum, zinc and other materials.
Key concerns in the near future are transportation and energy
costs, and continued growth of the U.S. economy. We believe the
commercial construction markets will grow in 2007; however,
unexpected economic changes could alter expectations. Our
short-term plan is to control expenses and provide outstanding
service, while adding innovative new products." Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer Bill Ferko stated, "During the quarter cash
flow from operations less plant and equipment investments provided
$16.4 million compared to the same quarter last year when we
generated $16.3 million. For the first six months of 2007 cash flow
from operations less plant and equipment investments provided $916
thousand compared to the first six months of 2006 when we used $4.2
million. In addition, working capital (current assets less current
liabilities) as of June 30, 2007 increased by $47.0 million to
$230.1 million compared to July 1, 2006, but was significantly
impacted by cash and debt balances. Working capital less cash and
short-term debt was $245.5 million (15.0% of annualized sales) as
of June 30, 2007, compared to working capital less cash and short-
term debt of $238.3 million (16.3% of annualized sales) as of July
1, 2006. "Our balance sheet remains very strong. We closed the
second quarter with cash of $66.0 million and debt of $143.2
million, or a net debt position of $77.2 million, compared to
second quarter 2006 net debt of $182.3 million, and $71.2 million
at the end of 2006. Our net debt decreased by $105.1 million
compared to prior year even though we recently paid approximately
$40 million to acquire Strand, Carsonite, and Hanover Lantern over
the past twelve months." To supplement the consolidated financial
statements presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has
presented a table of adjusted operating results, which includes
non-GAAP financial information. This non-GAAP financial information
is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the
Company's current financial performance and prospects for the
future. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP financial
information provides useful information to investors by excluding
or adjusting certain items of operating results that were unusual
and not indicative of the Company's core operating results.
Management considers working capital (current assets minus current
liabilities) an important measure of short-term liquidity and uses
it to measure the investment in the business. In addition,
management believes cash flow from operating activities less plant
and equipment investments is an important measure that gives a more
accurate picture of the Company's cash generation. This non-GAAP
financial information should be considered in addition to, and not
as a substitute for, or superior to, results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information included in this news
release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. Live audio
