Business Segments – Fourth Quarter 2010
The results of the Company's four business segments are presented in Table 5 in the accompanying financial tables.
Federal Services
Federal Services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $80.2 million, compared with $86.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in revenue was due primarily to the completion of a contract in July 2010 to provide environmental remediation and waste management activities at a gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah, KY, and to reduced activity on the Isotek waste remediation project at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These decreases were partially offset by increased subcontracting activity at a federal site in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $3.5 million, compared with $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating margin declined to 4.4% for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 7.6% for the fourth quarter of 2009 due primarily to an unfavorable shift in project mix with increased activity on lower margin contracts as well as to increased labor and stock compensation expenses.
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. This increase was due primarily to increased income from the Hanford Tank contract.
Commercial Services
Commercial Services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $39.3 million, compared with $21.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in revenue was due primarily to the initiation of activity on the Zion license stewardship project, as well as to modest increases in most other commercial service areas.
6
Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $4.3 million, compared with income from operations of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating margin was negative 10.9% for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 19.1% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the accretion expense associated with the asset retirement obligation related to the Zion Station decommissioning, as well as to higher costs incurred on utility projects.
Logistics, Processing and Disposal
Logistics, Processing and Disposal (“LP&D”) revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $76.3 million, compared to $83.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in revenue was due primarily to lower revenue from the shipment of manufactured tubes, which was partially offset by higher volumes of waste disposed at our Clive, Utah facility.
Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $30.4 million, compared with $30.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating margin increased to 39.8% for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 36.3% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in operating margin was attributable primarily to a greater percentage of revenue coming from higher margin disposal services.
International
International revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $254.3 million, compared to $256.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, International revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased $5.9 million over the fourth quarter of 2009 due primarily to an increased recoverable cost base on our Magnox contracts. International revenue was negatively impacted by $8.0 million due to foreign currency fluctuations in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $15.3 million, compared with $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating margin dropped to 6.0% for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 7.7% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to lower efficiency fees recognized on our Magnox contracts and to increased labor expenses.
Zion License Stewardship Project Accounting
As previously reported, EnergySolutions submitted a pre-clearance letter to the SEC requesting concurrence with its proposed accounting treatment for the Zion Station transaction that closed on September 1, 2010 to decommission Exelon’s nuclear power plant in Zion, Illinois. The Zion Station transaction is a first-of-its-kind approach to decommissioning developed by EnergySolutions, involving accounting treatment that is without prior authority or precedence.
On March 23, 2011, after numerous discussions with the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant, EnergySolutions determined that the accounting methodology it will utilize for the transactions related to its Zion Station decommissioning and decontamination efforts differs from the accounting methodology proposed in the pre-clearance letter submitted to the SEC in the Fall of 2010.
The accounting methodology that will be used by EnergySolutions includes recording the following balances at the inception of the project: the nuclear decommissioning trust fund assets, deferred revenue, deferred tax liability, the asset retirement obligation, and deferred costs. The income statements impact for transactions related to the asset retirement obligation will be included within cost of revenue, while earnings or losses from the trust fund investments will be included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.
7
EnergySolutions determined that it will restate its previously filed condensed consolidated financial statement for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as a result of these changes. Additionally, it was determined that the planning contract revenue and gross margin previously recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was part of a multiple element contractual arrangement and the associated margin should be deferred and recognized over the duration of the project rather than recorded when completed. A reconciliation of the restated unaudited condensed consolidated third quarter financial statements will be included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.
CEO Commentary
Commenting on the quarter, Val Christensen, EnergySolutions President and CEO, said, “Our level of business activity in the fourth quarter was in-line with our expectations, although the accounting treatment finalized for our Zion license stewardship project created some changes in our third quarter results. This change in accounting treatment increased our profitability in the third quarter of 2010 while it negatively impacted our profitability in the fourth quarter relative to our forecasts.”
“We have realigned our Company’s operations including the creation of a new business group dedicated to long-term stewardship projects, as well as the consolidation of our Commercial Services and International business groups into our new Global Commercial Group. As part of this realignment, we have implemented business process improvements throughout the Company that we believe will enable us to deliver better products and services to our customers, while also enhancing efficiencies and reducing costs. We are also encouraged by the progress we are making in our business development initiatives, and we believe they will develop into additional revenue streams for the Company in the years ahead,” said Mr. Christensen.
Outlook
The Company anticipates that 2011 will be a base building year as the Zion Station decommissioning project ramps up, and as the Company makes progress on the strategic initiatives it announced during 2010. In addition, the Company anticipates possible reductions in some of its government-funded projects as well as some government project completions during 2011.
For the full year 2011, EnergySolutions expects EBITDA to be in the range of $130 to $140 million.
The Company’s outlook reflects the following assumptions:
|
●
|
A $14-16 million reduction in SG&A from full year 2010 expense levels resulting from business improvement and efficiency enhancement initiatives
|
|
●
|
An effective tax rate of 33-36%, exclusive of any unusual items
|
|
●
|
Capital expenditures in the range of $25-35 million

The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to EnergySolutions plus interest expense (including the effects of interest rate derivative agreements), income taxes, depreciation, impairment charges and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a key indicator of its operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. EBITDA, as presented in this release, is a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). EBITDA is not a measure of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity.
The Company's measurement of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. the Company has included information concerning EBITDA in this release because it is used by management to measure operating performance and because the Company believes that such information is often used by certain investors and analysts as a measure of a company’s historical performance and for modeling.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
|
•
|
It does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
•
|
It does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
|
|
•
|
It does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company's debt;
|
|
•
|
Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
|
|
•
|
It is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company's statements of cash flows; and
|
|
•
|
Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA only for supplemental purposes.
The Company defines net income attributable to EnergySolutions before the impact of amortization of intangible assets as net income attributable to EnergySolutions plus amortization expense of intangible assets, net of the related income tax expense. These non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors seeking to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the above reconciliation, management believes provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business than GAAP measures alone. These measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income attributable to EnergySolutions, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
