(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
SHELTON, CT. (October 17, 2013) - Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBA, HUBB)
today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2013.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2013 were $835.9 million, an increase of 6%
compared to the $789.7 million reported in the third quarter of 2012. Operating
income was $151.6 million, or 18.1% of net sales, compared to $135.1 million, or
17.1% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2012. Net income in the third
quarter of 2013 was $96.5 million versus $87.1 million reported in the third
quarter of 2012. Earnings per diluted share were $1.62 in the third quarter of
2013 compared to $1.45 reported in the third quarter of 2012. Free cash flow
(defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $103.0
million in the third quarter of 2013 versus $77.1 million reported in the
comparable period of 2012.
For the first nine months of 2013 net sales were $2.4 billion, an increase of
4% compared to the same period last year. Operating income was $381.4 million,
or 16.0% of net sales, compared to $361.3 million, or 15.8% of net sales, for
the comparable period of 2012. Net income in the first nine months of 2013 was
$244.5 million, an increase of 7% compared to the $227.8 million reported in the
first nine months of 2012. Earnings per diluted share were $4.09, or 8% above
the $3.80 reported for the comparable period of 2012. Free cash flow was $185.5
million compared to $160.7 million reported in the first nine months of 2012.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
David G. Nord, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We reported
another quarter of strong performance with higher sales and operating margin
compared to 2012. The sales increase was largely due to the impact of
acquisitions as well as strength in several areas of the Electrical segment.
From a profitability perspective, we were able to increase earnings per diluted
share by 12% and I am proud of the organization's ability to deliver these
results with little help from our markets. I would also like to report that the
two recent acquisitions that we announced on our July earnings call are
integrating very smoothly into the Hubbell family."
Mr. Nord continued "The demand in our end markets during the third quarter was
mixed. In the construction markets, U.S. non-residential activity increased due
to renovation and relight activities while the residential market continued to
expand at a double-digit pace. North American electrical utility demand was
below the prior year as utility companies continue to face regulatory issues,
weak electricity usage and few rate increases. Our businesses that serve the
industrial markets were higher primarily due to the strength of the extractive
industry sector."
SEGMENT REVIEW
The comments and year-over-year percentages in this segment review are based on
third quarter results in 2013 and 2012.
Electrical segment net sales in the third quarter of 2013 increased 8% to
$597.6 million compared to $551.8 million reported in the third quarter of
2012. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions which contributed 5% to
sales in the quarter. The organic volume increase was led by higher shipments
of lighting products. Compared to the third quarter of 2012, operating income
increased 15% to $104.5 million, or 17.5% of net sales. The increase in
operating income was primarily due to the benefit of higher volume and lower
material costs.
Hubbell's Power segment net sales in the third quarter of 2013 were $238.3
million compared to $237.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2012. The
sales were impacted by weaker overall utility demand and unfavorable foreign
currency translation offset by the favorable impact of an acquisition. Compared
to the third quarter of 2012, operating income increased to $47.1 million.
Operating margin in the third quarter of 2013 was 19.8% compared to 18.7%
reported in the comparable period of 2012. The increase in operating margin was
primarily due to productivity and a favorable product mix.
SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
Mr. Nord commented, "Looking to the remainder of 2013, we remain highly focused
and committed to achieving our financial goals for the year. For the full year
2013, we expect net sales to increase by approximately 5% and operating margins
to expand by approximately 40 basis points."
Mr. Nord concluded, "Turning to 2014, third party forecasts for our markets
point towards growth in the upcoming year. That growth is expected to be led by
the construction markets, which account for approximately fifty percent of our
overall sales. We would also expect modest growth in our industrial markets
while utility spending is likely to remain challenging given the level of
uncertainty that persists in that market. So overall we currently believe the
end market growth to be in the two to four percent range for 2014. From a
profitability perspective, we continue to plan for expanding our operating
margins into the future. The organization remains highly engaged in driving
productivity programs. This will continue to be a critical element of improving
operating margins as the price and material benefits experienced in 2013 are not
likely to continue. However, given the level of near term volatility, we expect
to provide a more detailed outlook on our next scheduled conference call in
January."
