Flexsteel Announces Second
Quarter and Year-To-Date Operating Results
DUBUQUE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 7, 2006--Flexsteel
Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLXS) today reported sales and earnings for
its second quarter and fiscal year-to-date ended December 31, 2005.
Net sales for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 were
$106.3 million compared to the prior year quarter of $105.1 million,
an increase of 1.2%. Net income for the current quarter was $0.5
million or $0.07 per share after recording stock-based compensation
expense of $0.4 million or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.6 million
or $0.24 per share in the prior year quarter.
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $203.7
million compared to $202.9 million in the prior year six months, an
increase of 0.4%. Net income for the six months ended December 31,
2005 was $1.5 million or $0.22 per share after recording stock-based
compensation expense of $0.4 million or $0.06 per share, compared to
net income of $2.8 million or $0.42 per share for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 which included a net gain (after tax) of $0.4
million or $0.06 per share on the sale of a former manufacturing
facility.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, residential net sales
were $69.6 million, compared to $70.6 million, a decrease of 1.5% from
the prior year quarter. Recreational vehicle net sales were $15.9
million, compared to $18.9 million, a decrease of 15.8% from the prior
year quarter. Commercial net sales were $20.8 million, compared to
$15.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 34.1%.
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, residential net sales
were $127.7 million, a decrease of 1.5% from the six months ended
December 31, 2004. Recreational vehicle net sales were $34.2 million,
a decrease of 19.1% from the six months ended December 31, 2004.
Commercial net sales were $41.8 million, an increase of 22.2% from the
six months ended December 31, 2004.
Residential net sales were down slightly from the prior periods
due to lower demand at the retail level. The decline in recreational
vehicle net sales is due primarily to a weaker wholesale market
environment. The increase in commercial net sales is primarily due to
improved commercial office product offerings and improved industry
performance for hospitality products.
Gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was 18.5%
compared to 19.4% in the prior year quarter. For the six months ended
December 31, 2005, the gross margin was 19.1% compared to 18.9% for
the prior year six-month period. Gross margin erosion in the current
quarter in comparison to the prior year quarter was caused by rampant
increases in raw material costs, particularly those with petrochemical
content, and transportation costs which the Company was able to
partially offset through selected sell price increases. The gross
margin improvement for the six-month period is a result of changes in
product mix, primarily through increased sales of commercial office
and other imported products, which were not significantly impacted by
raw material cost increases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.5% and 16.8%
of net sales for the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.7% and 16.8%,
respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative
costs on a quarterly and year-to-date basis in comparison to prior
year periods is due to the recording of approximately $0.4 million in
stock-based compensation related to stock option grants as required
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123
(R), increases in royalties and general increases in other fixed
expenses.
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at
December 31, 2005 was $87.3 million, which includes cash, cash
equivalents and investments of $3.4 million. Net cash used in
operating activities was $11.2 million for the six-month period ended
December 31, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1
million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. Fluctuations
in net cash used in operating activities were primarily the result of
changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The
increase in inventories in fiscal 2006 relates primarily to the
expansion of import programs.
Capital expenditures were $3.1 million during the first six months
of fiscal year 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense was $2.7
million and $2.9 million for the six-month periods ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects that capital
expenditures will be approximately $0.5 million for the remainder of
the fiscal year.
All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
Outlook
Flexsteel Industries, Inc., and the furniture industry in general,
continue to be impacted by increases in raw material and energy costs.
The second quarter ended December 31, 2005, was dominated by news of
unprecedented cost increases for poly foam and other materials with
petrochemical content, which are major components in our seating
products, as well as increases or expected increases in other key
components such as fabric, steel and plywood. At the same time, U. S.
furniture manufacturers are faced with competition and pricing
pressures from imported products. The Company expects these
challenging business conditions to continue to have an impact on its
results of operations through the remainder of the fiscal year.
In response to the aforementioned challenges, the Company will
implement sell price increases for seating products, as warranted, and
continue to explore cost control opportunities in all facets of its
business. The Company believes it has the necessary inventories,
product offerings and commitments in place to take advantage of
opportunities for expansion of certain markets, such as commercial
office and hospitality. The Company believes that its strategy of
providing furniture from a wide selection of domestically manufactured
and imported products is sound business practice and will continue.
