BOOM DMC Global Inc

Selected Highlights BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ:BOOM), the world's leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates and associated services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Sales in the quarter increased 53% to $18.4 million versus $12.0 million in the second quarter last year. Sequentially, sales increased 5% versus sales of $17.5 million in this year's first quarter. Gross profit margin improved to 28% from 24% in the same period last year and 27% in this year's first quarter. Income from operations increased 228% to $3.4 million versus $1.1 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Second quarter operating income increased 27% versus the $2.7 million reported in the first quarter. Second quarter net income was $2.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter last year. Sequentially, second quarter net income increased 28% versus first quarter net income of $1.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in this year's first quarter. Diluted shares outstanding increased to 6,026,669 from 5,392,276 in last year's second quarter and 5,930,550 in the first quarter. Bottom-line results in last year's second quarter were impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $1.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, which was associated with the company's former Spin Forge division. Explosive Metalworking Group Sales at DMC's Explosive Metalworking Group advanced 51% to $17.2 million from $11.4 million in last year's second quarter, and were up 2% versus sales of $17.0 million in the first quarter. Operating income increased 201% to $3.1 million from $1.0 million in the comparable period last year, and was up 10% from the $2.8 million reported in the first quarter. The Group ended the quarter with an order backlog of $33.2 million, down slightly from the all- time high backlog of $34.1 million achieved at the end of this year's first quarter. AMK Welding Second quarter sales from the company's AMK Welding division increased 102% to $1.1 million from $0.6 million in last year's comparable quarter. Sales were up 108% versus the $0.5 million reported in this year's first quarter. The division reported second quarter operating income of $343,000 versus $19,000 in the second quarter last year and a loss of $115,000 in the first quarter. The improvements reflect the impact of recently commenced production work on a previously discussed ground-based turbine project. Management Commentary Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "Worldwide demand for clad metal remains strong, and our second quarter results are indicative of DMC's ability to capitalize on emerging global opportunities. Shortly after the close of the second period, we received a $6.0 million order that increased our backlog to a new all-time high. The order, which relates to a project for international petrochemical producer Kuwait Olefins Company, calls for the delivery of more than 2 million pounds of clad plate, which will be manufactured at our facilities in France and the United States. This order is illustrative of how our international production capacity gives us a distinct competitive advantage and allows us to better serve our customers' needs." Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said the order is expected to ship during this year's fourth quarter and the first quarter of fiscal 2006. "In addition to our strong operational performance, we have made significant progress at strengthening our balance sheet," Santa said. "The combination of operating cash flow, proceeds from stock option exercises and the conversion of a $1.2 million convertible subordinated note during the first half of 2005 allowed us to reduce line-of-credit borrowings and term-debt by approximately $5.9 million to roughly $3.4 million at June 30." "Current activity within many of the industries we target indicates there should be sustained demand for our products going forward," Cariou said. "We remain encouraged by our opportunities for continued growth." Six-Month Results Through six months, DMC reported a sales increase of 62% to $35.9 million compared with sales of $22.1 million at the six-month mark last year. Gross profit margin improved to 27% from 23% in the respective periods. Income from operations increased 236% to $6.2 million compared with $1.8 million in the same period a year ago. Net income advanced to $3.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, during the same period a year ago. Diluted shares outstanding increased to 5,979,348 from 5,380,286 in last year's six-month period. Last year's net loss through six months was impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $1.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, associated with the former Spin Forge division. The Explosive Metalworking Group reported six-month sales of $34.2 million, a 62% increase versus sales of $21.1 million at the six-month mark a year ago. Operating income increased 218% to $5.9 million compared with $1.9 million during the same period a year prior. The improvement in operating income reflects both increased sales and more effective expense absorption within the division. Six-month sales at the AMK Welding division improved 58% to $1.7 million compared with $1.1 million during the comparable period last year. Operating income for the period improved to $227,000 compared with an operating loss of $34,000 during the same period a year ago.
