- Record Third Quarter Revenues Reach $90.26 Million - WESTBURY,
N.Y., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DHB Industries Inc.
(AMEX:DHB), which principally operates in the field of body armor,
announced today record revenues for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2005, posting its 23rd consecutive year-over-year
increase in quarterly revenues. The current backlog of contract
values and delivery orders is approximately $226 million. For the
third quarter ended September 30, 2005, DHB achieved its highest
quarterly revenue in its history, $90,263,000 as compared to
revenues of $89,410,000 for the third quarter of 2004. Gross
margins for the third quarter of 2005 were 27.3% versus 27.8% in
the third quarter of 2004. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses was a non-cash compensation expense of
$11,295,000 associated with the vested warrants issued to the
Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Chairman pursuant to the
extension of his 2000 employment agreement. Also, increasing
selling, general and administrative expenses was an $800,000
increase in professional and consulting fees as a result of the
Zylon(R) replacement program and a $547,000 increase in research
and development expenses, as a result of the opening of a new state
of the art ballistic lab in our Pompano Beach, Florida facility.
The cost of the vest replacement program is a separate line item
under selling, general and administrative expenses, for a total
pre-tax charge of $60,000,000, or ($0.76) per diluted share after
tax charge, as a result of the Company's voluntary Zylon(R) vest
replacement program announced in August 2005. The composition of
this charge is as follows: a $36,700,000 reserve for vests
containing Zylon(R), the write-off of approximately $19,200,000 in
Zylon(R) inventory, and a $4,100,000 increase in the accounts
receivable allowance. Third quarter 2005 loss available to common
stockholders was $41,741,000 or ($0.92) per diluted share, as
compared to income available to common stockholders of $0.18 per
diluted share, or $8,058,000, in the third quarter of 2004.
Weighted shares outstanding on a diluted basis for the third
quarter 2005 were 45,312,536 as compared to 45,962,109 for the
third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30,
2005, DHB reported record revenues of $263,924,000, an increase of
5.6% as compared to revenues of $249,879,000 for the first nine
months of 2004. Gross margins for the first nine months of 2005
were 27.3% versus 27.8% in the first nine months of 2004. Driven
primarily by the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses, (non-cash stock compensation, professional fees and
research and development costs) and by the $60 million Zylon(R)
charge operating income for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 decreased to a loss of approximately $35.6 million versus
income of approximately $37.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. Loss available to common stockholders for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $26,254,000 or ($0.59) per
diluted share as compared to income available to common
stockholders of $21,897,000 or $0.49 per diluted share in
comparable period last year. Weighted shares outstanding on a
diluted basis for the first nine months of 2005 were 45,302,437 as
compared to 45,614,473 for the first nine months of 2004. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, DHB generated $26,616,000 of
cash from operations versus cash used in operations of $10,804,000
for the comparable nine month period of 2004. Utilizing the
positive cash flow, the Company was able to eliminate the revolving
credit loan balance as of September 2005. In addition, the Company
had excess cash in the bank of $5,488,000 at September 30, 2005. On
November 1, 2005, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to allow
the Company to purchase in the open market up to three million
shares of the Company's common stock so long as the stock
repurchase program shall not exceed $9 million funded through the
revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the term loan was
reduced from LIBOR plus 2.25%, to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The bank also
authorized the repurchase of the Company's convertible preferred
shares on December 15, 2005. Commenting on the third quarter
financials, Dawn Schlegel, CFO, stated, "I believe the Company has
achieved some important financial milestones during 2005, as we
have been able to generate cash, eliminate the majority of our debt
and have excess cash in the bank for the first time in the
Company's history." She continued, "The Company's financial
standing is strong. As of September 30, 2005, our debt-to-equity
ratio stood at .25 compared to .47 at December 31, 2004. Our long
term liabilities have dropped from approximately $33.2 million at
December 31, 2004 to only approximately $8.15 million at September
30, 2005. Also during this quarter we have been able to reduce the
accounts receivable days outstanding to 32 days from 58 days at the
end of 2004. Our strong financial position was recognized by our
bank, LaSalle Business Credit, who recently agreed to lower the
interest rate on our term loan and allow the Company to repurchase
up to $9 million of its stock in the open market." Conference Call:
