Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Third Quarter 2011 Segment Highlights
Process & Motion Control
Process & Motion Control ("PMC") net sales in the third quarter were $299.6 million, an increase of 22% from the prior year. Core sales in PMC increased 23% as foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted net sales by 1%. The year-over-year increase in net sales was driven by solid international growth, improving end-market demand in our North American businesses and market share gains across many of our businesses.
PMC Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter increased 29% to $66.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales increased 120 basis points to 22% of sales through operating leverage on higher year-over-year sales volume, productivity gains and cost reductions, partially offset by higher material costs and targeted investments in new product development and global growth capabilities.
Water Management
Water Management net sales in the third quarter were $120.2 million, an increase of 1% from the prior year third quarter. Core sales increased 1% in the third quarter as market share gains and growth in alternative markets offset the overall decline in the core infrastructure and non-residential construction markets.
Water Management Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter decreased 10% to $20.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales decreased 210 basis points to 17% of sales primarily due to higher year-over-year material costs and the impact of variability in the profitability of certain water and wastewater project shipments.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
Rexnord considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as key financial indicators of operating performance.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating the performance of issuers of “high yield” securities because it is a common measure of the ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the attached financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to “EBITDA” in the Company's credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities as net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table below entitled “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.” Our credit agreement requires us to maintain a maximum senior secured bank leverage ratio (defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of net senior secured bank debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of no more than 4.25 to 1.0, calculated on a pro forma basis for the trailing four quarters (as determined under our senior secured credit facilities). Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; (f) management fees that may be paid to Apollo; or (g) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our secured senior credit facilities may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. For more information regarding the limitations of using measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as indicators of our operating performance, please see the risk factor entitled “The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to our senior secured credit facilities represents our actual historical covenant compliance calculations and permits certain estimates and assumptions that may differ materially from actual results” in Exhibit 99.1 to our current report on Form 8-K furnished on October 10, 2008.
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
