CALHOUN, Ga., Aug. 2, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) today
announced 2012 second quarter net earnings of $73 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
of $1.06. Net earnings excluding
restructuring charges were $79
million and EPS was $1.14, a
20% increase over last year's second quarter adjusted EPS. Net
sales for the second quarter of 2012 were $1.5 billion, in line with prior year and an
increase of 2% on a constant exchange rate. For the second quarter
of 2011, net earnings were $61
million and EPS was $0.88. Net
earnings excluding restructuring charges for the second quarter of
2011, were $66 million and EPS was
$0.95.
For the six months ending June 30,
2012, net sales were $2.9
billion, an increase of 2% versus prior year and 4% on a
constant exchange rate. Net earnings and EPS for the six-month
period were $114 million and
$1.64, respectively. Net earnings
excluding restructuring charges were $120
million and EPS was $1.73, an
increase of 25% over the six-month adjusted EPS results in 2011.
For the six months ending July 2,
2011, net sales were $2.8
billion, net earnings were $84
million and EPS was $1.22.
Excluding restructuring charges, net earnings and EPS were
$95 million and $1.38, respectively.
Commenting on Mohawk Industries' second quarter performance,
Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and
CEO, stated, "Selling prices offsetting raw material inflation,
productivity gains, product mix improvements and lower interest
costs all contributed to our results. Sales increased 2% on a
constant exchange rate with commercial sales continuing to outpace
residential sales. We continue to control SG&A cost while
increasing new product investments across all businesses. During
the quarter, we generated adjusted EBITDA of $187 million, free cash flow of $96 million and paid off $336 million of senior notes. We have addressed
many of today's economic challenges by enhancing our product
differentiation, reducing costs, improving efficiencies and
entering new product categories and geographies."
Mohawk segment adjusted operating income margin increased 110
basis points over 2011 with gains from pricing, improved product
mix and lower costs from productivity offsetting lower volume and
higher material costs. Segment sales were down 3% during the second
quarter. Carpet sales for both the industry and Mohawk were
approximately flat compared to last year with residential
remodeling activity slow. Our rug sales continued to be soft due to
lower retail sales, as well as retailers deferring promotional
activities and further reducing inventory within the channel.
During the quarter, Mohawk's SmartStrand® Silk™ premium
carpet collection experienced strong sales growth due to its
unsurpassed softness and proprietary environmental features. We
executed productivity improvements across the business with
particular gains from our capital investments and reduction of
waste.
Dal-Tile segment sales grew 7% during the quarter or 8% on a
constant exchange rate. The segment posted gains from increases in
both residential and commercial sales and growth in the Mexican
market. Operating margins were enhanced by higher volumes, greater
manufacturing efficiencies, improved material formulations and
increased recycling. To address the changing market demand, we
converted mosaic and floor tile production to porcelain, increased
our ability to make larger sizes and expanded our Reveal Imaging™
capabilities. The new Salamanca
facility in Mexico is producing
red-body tile for the domestic market. The plant's start-up costs
are in line with our expectations, and we anticipate positive
contributions in early 2013 due to higher volume and
productivity.
Unilin segment sales decreased 2% but increased 7% on a constant
exchange rate. Outside North
America, laminate and wood flooring sales grew from
continued expansion in the DIY channel, expanded distribution in
the U.K. and Australian sales. Our Russian facility is progressing
with increased productivity and is manufacturing more complex
products. In North America,
laminate sales grew from increased promotional activity by large
retailers and greater penetration in the home center channel.
Laminate collections featuring richly embossed surfaces, premium
long planks and our proprietary GenuEdge Technology ™ improved our
mix in both the remodeling and new construction markets. Our
insulated roofing product sales declined in Europe as the housing market contracted but
were offset by the growth of our insulation panels, which help to
meet energy efficiency goals.
Mohawk's commitment to product innovation, resource management
and process improvements yielded improved second quarter results.
Our investments in innovative products improved our mix and
contributed to higher margins. Though sales softened in the second
quarter, U.S. order rates have shown some improvement as we began
the third quarter. We do not expect material costs to follow oil
price declines due to specific higher chemical costs. In the U.S.,
low mortgage rates and higher housing starts should support future
flooring sales. In Europe, we will
have the normal seasonal slowing and expect the present trends
to continue with exchange rates being a headwind. Based on these
factors, our guidance for third quarter earnings is $0.96 to $1.05 per share, excluding any
restructuring costs.
We have addressed many of today's economic challenges by
enhancing our product differentiation, reducing costs, improving
efficiencies and entering new product categories and geographies.
We retain a strong financial position, which provides us
flexibility to invest in strategic opportunities going forward.
