Technitrol Reports Q406 Results

PHILADELPHIA -- Technitrol, Inc. (NYSE: TNL) reported consolidated revenues of $236.1 million for its fourth fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2006. Revenues were $257.7 million in the previous quarter and $184.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

According to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), fourth-quarter net earnings from continuing operations were $14.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $7.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2005 including the cumulative effect of an accounting change. Fourth-quarter 2006 earnings included after-tax severance and asset-impairment expenses totaling approximately $2.1 million ($0.05 per share). Excluding these items, earnings per diluted share in the fourth quarter were $0.40 compared to $0.49 in the prior quarter and $0.29 in the fourth quarter of 2005, excluding similar charges. (See the attached "Non-GAAP Measures" table that reconciles net earnings per diluted share excluding these items to GAAP net earnings per diluted share.)

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure reconciled with GAAP net earnings in the attached "Non-GAAP Measures" table) were $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $32.8 million in the previous quarter and $21.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net cash at December 29, 2006 was $28.0 million (cash and equivalents of $87.2 million less debt of $59.2 million), compared with $10.5 million (cash and equivalents of $68.4 million less debt of $57.9 million) at the end of the previous quarter. Technitrol's capital spending in the fourth quarter of 2006 was approximately $8.9 million.

For fiscal 2006, Technitrol’s revenues from continuing operations were $954.1 million, compared with $616.4 million in fiscal 2005. GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $56.9 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, for the year, compared with a loss of ($24.4 million), or ($0.61) per share, in fiscal 2005. Excluding severance and asset impairment expenses and other unusual items in all periods, earnings per share in fiscal 2006 were $1.69, compared with $0.72 a year earlier.

Pulse

Pulse designs and manufactures a wide variety of passive electronic components and modules, electronic connector products, antennas for wireless communication / information devices, and a variety of coils for automotive uses. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $154.0 million, compared with $174.0 million in the prior quarter and $121.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The sequential-quarter revenue decline reflects heavy pre-holiday consumer electronics production which favored the third quarter to the detriment of the fourth, a temporary antenna market share gain in the third quarter not carried into the fourth quarter and a broad fourth-quarter overall electronics slowdown which has been widely reported across the electronics industry. This market entrenchment is expected to continue into the first half of 2007.

Unsatisfactory fourth-quarter operating margin reflected operational inefficiencies resulting from decreased production volumes, particularly in the antenna and automotive divisions, where shipments sharply declined in December, as well as the effect of a full quarter of wage increases in China. In addition, Pulse’s automotive division incurred significant expenses in the quarter related to continued integration and cost elimination efforts, which are expected to be resolved by the end of the first quarter.

GAAP operating profit in the fourth quarter was $10.9 million at Pulse, compared with $15.3 million in the third quarter and $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding pre-tax severance and asset-impairment expenses of $2.2 million, related primarily to restructuring of European operations and a loss on the sale of a building, and a pre-tax charge of $0.1 million of accelerated depreciation, fourth-quarter 2006 operating profit was approximately $13.2 million, compared with $20.4 million in the third quarter and $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, excluding similar charges. (See "Non-GAAP Measures" table).

AMI Doduco

AMI Doduco manufactures a full range of electrical contacts, contact materials and contact assemblies. Fourth-quarter shipments reflected sustained strength in electrical contact markets, particularly in Europe, which reported an especially strong December despite the effect of numerous holidays on industrial activity. Revenues in the fourth quarter were $82.1 million, compared with $83.7 million in the previous quarter and $63.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. In addition to favorable market demand trends and share gains (particularly in Europe and Asia) significantly higher pass-through costs for silver and other metals continued to drive year-over-year revenue growth.

AMI Doduco's fourth-quarter GAAP operating profit from continuing operations, including $0.2 million in pre-tax severance and asset-impairment expenses related to the recent closure of a facility in France, was $6.1 million, compared with $4.6 million in the previous quarter and $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding severance and asset-impairment expense in all periods, fourth-quarter 2006 operating profit was $6.3 million, compared with $4.9 million a quarter ago and $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. (See "Non-GAAP Measures" table). AMI Doduco’s operating margin in the most recent quarter reflects the results of earlier restructuring and expense reduction efforts, the ongoing phase-in of lean manufacturing processes, price increases and good production capacity utilization.

Outlook

Based on customer forecasts, publicly available market and peer data, internal analysis and normal seasonal trends, Technitrol expects first-quarter 2007 consolidated revenues to be in the range of $233 million to $236 million, assuming a continuation of current market conditions, including near-term sluggishness in the electronics supply chain. Excluding severance and asset-impairment expense, if any, first-quarter consolidated operating profit is expected to be between $16 million and $17 million, and the effective tax rate approximately 20%. As is normally the case, Technitrol expects the first quarter to be the weakest of the year. Improving overall market fundamentals and the impact of integration and cost elimination efforts at Pulse’s automotive division will drive continuing progressive profit improvement in the second through fourth quarters.

The company plans to provide no further outlook information until results are reported for the first quarter of 2007. In the absence of public announcements from Technitrol, changes in forecasts, positive or negative, from equity analysts are unofficial and should be considered with due caution.

1. EBITDA from continuing operations (net income plus income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding interest and other expense/income and excluding equity method investment earnings/losses) is not a measure of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, and an investor should also consider, net income, cash flow from operations and other measures of performance as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as indicators of our profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is often used by shareholders and analysts as an indicator of a company’s ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. We believe it enhances a reader’s understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow because it is unaffected by capital structure and, therefore, enables investors to compare our operating performance to that of other companies. We understand that our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation.

2,3. Based on discussions with investors and equity analysts, we believe that a reader’s understanding of Technitrol’s operating performance is enhanced by references to these non-GAAP measures. Removing charges for severance and asset impairment and unusual gains or losses facilitates comparisons of operating performance among financial periods and peer companies. Severance charges result exclusively from production relocations and capacity reductions and / or restructuring of overhead and operating expenses to enhance or maintain profitability in an increasingly competitive environment. Impairment charges represent adjustments to asset values and are not part of the normal operating expense structure of the relevant business in the period in which the charge is recorded.
