POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2016
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Company reports adjusted diluted EPS of $0.69
HOUSTON MAY 3, 2016 Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWL), a leading supplier of custom engineered solutions for the management, control and distribution of electrical energy, today announced results for the fiscal 2016 second quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $152.3 million compared to revenues of $170.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company reported net income for the second quarter of $5.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding restructuring and separation costs, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $7.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income is included in the financial tables below.
Thomas W. Powell, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, Across the company, we are realizing positive results from our focus on solid project execution and cost reduction initiatives. We are particularly pleased with the improved operational performance of our Canadian operation.
During the second quarter, the impact of reduced capital spending in our primary oil and gas markets reduced available project opportunities and, as a result, we anticipate these lower order rates to persist through the remainder of the year and into 2017. Operationally, our strong project execution capabilities enable us to support our customers with their ongoing capital projects. Most notably, with $57 million in cash and virtually no debt, we are well positioned to manage our businesses through the current market cycle.
New orders placed during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $117 million compared to $102 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and $167 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Companys backlog as of March 31, 2016 was $357 million compared to $391 million as of December 31, 2015 and compared to $499 million at the end of last years second quarter.
OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially as further elaborated in the last paragraph below.
Reflecting current backlog and business conditions, Powell expects full year fiscal 2016 revenues to range between $520 million and $560 million, unchanged from previous guidance, and fiscal year 2016 earnings to range between $0.80 and $1.10 per diluted share, compared to previous earnings guidance of a range between $0.65 and $1.05 per diluted share. The Companys earnings guidance excludes restructuring and separations costs. Powell recorded $4.8 million in restructuring and separation costs, net of tax, in the first six months of fiscal 2016 and will continue to evaluate additional restructuring that may be required to align operating costs with anticipated market conditions.

For all periods presented, the Company defines non-GAAP net income as net income from continuing operations which excludes: 1) Restructuring and separation costs, net of tax; 2) the Income tax reserve release (FIN 48); and 3) the Canadian tax valuation allowance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes by excluding these items, these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in comparing the historical results to current results and measuring operating earnings trends. The Company also believes the disclosure of non-GAAP net income will help investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:
| Restructuring and separation costs, net of tax For the six months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded $4.8 million in restructuring and separation costs due to the restructuring of our senior management team and the alignment of our salaried and hourly workforce with future production requirements. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, we incurred approximately $0.9 million in restructuring and separation costs. |
| Income tax reserve release (FIN 48) In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, we released an income tax reserve of $4.1 million for R&D tax credits upon the closing of an IRS audit |
| Canadian tax valuation allowance In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, we established a $9.0 million valuation allowance against the Canadian deferred tax assets because we anticipated that we may not be able to realize the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deductible differences. |
Due to the nature of these items, the Company does not believe that these items reflect its ongoing operations.
