IRVING, Texas, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (Nasdaq: GLPW ) ("Global Power" or "Company") today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. Results include the operations of Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings, LLC ("Koontz-Wagner"), acquired on July 30, 2012, TOG Holdings, Inc. ("TOG"), acquired on September 5, 2012 and IBI Holdings, acquired on July 9, 2013 which are included in the Products Division's results, and Hetsco, Inc. ("Hetsco"), acquired on April 30, 2013 which is included in the Services Division's results.

Luis Manuel Ramírez, President and CEO of Global Power, said, "While the sustained weak nuclear power industry has softened our expectations for nuclear services, we remain encouraged by the opportunities for growth in our other businesses. Our Products Division remains on track to deliver for the year, driven by growth in our electrical solutions product line. We began 2013 knowing this would be a transitional year and leveraged the strength of our balance sheet to invest in growth opportunities. During the year, we reorganized our operations to be more cost efficient and implemented lean processes in order to expand margins. Looking beyond 2013, we expect growth to be driven by our realigned customer-facing organization, a strong commercial strategy and an energized leadership team."

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2013 was $110.0million, down by $1.5 million, or 1.3%, from the prior year's third quarter. Revenue from acquisitions was $27.1 million in the quarter, up from
$5.0 million in the prior-year period. The Company reported income from continuing operations of
$1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the quarter, compared with income from continuing operations of $1.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the prior year's quarter.

Non-GAAP earnings per share, which excludes acquisition transaction costs, strategic investments and realignment expenses, was $0.20, up from non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.19 in the prior-year period. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in following table.

Management believes that segregating these costs, and applying an effective tax rate that would be more relevant to the ongoing operations without such charges is informative in understanding the Company's ongoing operations. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share is summarized in the following table:

PRODUCTS DIVISION

Products Division revenue for the third quarter of 2013 increased $6.6 million, or 13.7%, to $54.6 million, compared with the prior-year period as acquisition revenue helped to offset delayed shipment timing in the organic business. Acquisitions contributed $23.4 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2013.

Gross profit was $13.3 million in the quarter, an increase of $4.5 million, or 50.7%, when compared with the prior-year period. As a percentage of sales, gross margin improved to 24.3% compared with 18.3% in last year's quarter. Improved gross margin was driven by product mix and favorable job close outs.     

Products Division reported operating income of $1.7 million, improved over a $1.0 million operating loss in the prior-year period.  Strategic investments, realignment expenses and acquisition costs totaled approximately $2.9 million and $2.4 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

SERVICES DIVISION

Third quarter 2013 Services Division revenue was $55.4 million, down $8.1 million, or 12.7%, compared with the prior-year period due to challenging market conditions in the nuclear services end market. Approximately $13.9million of revenue was for nuclear capital project work and $12.3 million was for new build and restart nuclear power facilities. The acquisition contributed $3.7 million of revenue in the 2013 third quarter.   

Services Division gross profit decreased $1.9 million to $7.5 million compared with the prior-year period. As a percent of sales, gross profit was 13.5% compared with 14.7% in the 2012 third quarter. The 2013 third quarter gross margin reflects a more normalized level as the prior-year period's gross margin benefitted from an insurance retention reserve adjustment. 

Services Division operating income was breakeven for the quarter compared with operating income of $3.5 million in the same period of 2012. Included in the third quarter 2013 operating income was approximately $0.5 million of strategic investments.

FOCUSED ON OPERATING EFFICIENCIES AND CASH GENERATION; EBITDA GROWS

Total operating expenses in the quarter were $19.0 million, up from $15.6 million in the prior-year period. Cost containment in the organic business was offset by $3.7 million in incremental operating expenses from the acquired businesses and incremental strategic investments. Total strategic investments, realignment expenses and acquisition costs were $3.5 million and $2.5 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

Income from operations was $1.7 million compared with operating income of $2.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  Operating margin of 1.6% compares with 2.3% in the prior-year period. The aforementioned unique costs had a 310 and 220 basis point impact on margins in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.   

EBITDA was $3.9 million compared with EBITDA of $3.3 million in the prior-year quarter. EBITDA margin as a percent of sales was 3.5% compared with 3.0% in the prior year. 

Global Power believes that when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of its operating performance. See the attached tables for additional important disclosures regarding Global Power's use of EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA.   

STRONG CASH GENERATION AND SOLID BALANCE SHEET

Cash from operations in the first nine months of 2013 was $19.8 million, compared with cash used in operations of $10.6 million in the prior-year period. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 was $32.3 million compared with $32.0 million at December 31, 2012.

During the third quarter, the Company used $10.0 million of debt and $9.5 million of cash to fund the acquisition of IBI. At September 30, 2013, total long-term debt was $40 million, or 13% of total capitalization.

BACKLOG AND ORDERS

Total backlog at September 30, 2013 was $408.4 million, comparable with $408.9 million on June 30, 2013, and down from $454.3 million at September 30, 2012. 

Backlog for the Products Division was $174.9 million, including $15.4 million of backlog associated with the IBI acquisition, which was an improvement from $145.3 million at the end of the trailing second quarter. Excluding the IBI operation, Products Division backlog increased $14.2 million over the trailing second quarter. Approximately 56% of backlog is expected to ship beyond 2013. Orders for the Products Division were $64.3 million during the third quarter of 2013.  The Products Division book-to-bill ratio was 1.2x for the third quarter and 1.3x for the first nine months of 2013, excluding the IBI acquisition that closed in the third quarter.

At September 30, 2013, Services Division backlog was $233.5 million. Included in Services Division backlog was $2.2 million associated with the Hetsco operation. Backlog was down from $263.6 million at June 30, 2013, and down from $301.9 million at September 30, 2012. Approximately 79% of backlog is expected to convert to revenue beyond 2013. Services backlog is comprised of expected maintenance work to be performed over the next twelve months as well as capital projects. The project award-to-revenue ratio was 0.4x in the third quarter and 0.8x for the first nine months of 2013, excluding the Hetsco acquisition that closed in the second quarter.

2013 GUIDANCE UPDATE AND 2014 OUTLOOK

As was previously announced, Global Power has been strategically realigning its operations to transition from a product-based business to a solutions-oriented organization. This process includes cost reductions complemented by acquisitions and is expected to drive margin expansion and improved profitability. 

Full year 2013 Guidance    
Products $210 million to $220 million including acquisitions Tightened range from previous $204 million to $229 million
     
Services $260 million to $270 million including acquisitions Reduced from previous guidance of $315 million to $330 million 
     
Total revenue $470 million to $490 million Adjusted from ~$520 million to ~$560 million
     
Gross margin Consolidated 16% to 17% Unchanged
        Products: 20% to 22% 
        Services: 12% to 14%
Operating expenses Core operating expenses of $59 million to $61 million, excluding acquisitions  Reduced from $61 million to $62 million and original guidance of $63 million
     
  Acquisitions add $10 million to $12 million, of which $4 million is nonrecurring Reduced from $11 million to $13 million, of which $4 million is nonrecurring
     
Effective tax rate Approximately 35% to 40%, excluding 4 th quarter tax benefit Q4 tax benefit -- $4 million to $5 million
     
CapEx $6 million to $8 million Unchanged

Mr. Ramírez noted, "As expected, our Products Division is benefitting greatly from the investments we have made during the last twelve months. However, the nuclear services business continues to face challenging market conditions. Our utility-based customers are experiencing higher costs against continued weakness in electricity demand. Our work to lean processes and take costs out of the business is expected to provide a more flexible platform to navigate through this evolving business climate."

For 2014, the Company's preliminary revenue outlook is a range of approximately $535 million to $575 million. Gross margin for the year is expected to improve slightly as a result of mix. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses are expected to decline.

Mr. Ramírez added, "We have a new leadership structure with a seasoned, energized management team that we expect will drive new opportunities for growth and streamline our operations. The speed with which we are progressing on our realignment puts us in a stronger position for 2014 and beyond. We are committed to the opportunities that the natural gas growth trends present us, and we believe they will fuel our growth."
