Steelcase Reports First Quarter Results
Strength in the Americas Expected to Continue in Second Quarter
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) today reported first quarter revenue of $675.2 million and net income of $13.2 million, or $0.10 per share. Excluding restructuring costs, adjusted earnings were $0.13 per share. Revenue and earnings per share were within company estimates. Steelcase reported $639.4 million of revenue and earnings of $0.06 per share in the first quarter of the prior year, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.04 per share.
Organic revenue growth in the first quarter was 6 percent after adjusting for approximately $11 million related to unfavorable currency translation effects and the net favorable impact of $6 million associated with acquisitions and divestitures. The Americas posted 14 percent organic growth over the prior year while EMEA experienced an 11 percent organic decline. Revenue growth in the Americas was broad-based and included a higher mix of business from some of the company's largest corporate customers. EMEA reported organic revenue declines in most major markets and also included a higher mix of project business.
"The Americas achieved double-digit organic revenue growth for the seventh consecutive quarter and posted an adjusted operating income margin of 8.9 percent – a significant improvement from 6.9 percent in the prior year," said James P. Hackett, president and CEO. "We expect the momentum in the Americas to continue in the second quarter."
Current quarter operating income of $19.3 million compares to $15.0 million in the prior year. Excluding restructuring costs, first quarter adjusted operating income of $24.4 million compares with $24.9 million in the prior year. Strength in the Americas was offset by weakness in EMEA and the Other category.
Cost of sales was 70.2 percent of revenue in the current quarter compared to 69.8 percent in the prior year.
Operating expenses in the first quarter were $176.7 million compared with $168.2 million in the prior year. The increase was largely due to increased spending on sales, product development and other initiatives in the Americas and Asia Pacific.
Interest expense was $4.5 million in the current quarter compared to $8.4 in the prior year, which included $4.1 million of interest expense associated with senior notes repaid during August 2011. These notes were repaid with proceeds from the issuance of replacement notes in February 2011.
Investment income decreased $1.9 million in the current quarter compared to the prior year primarily due to lower gains in the cash surrender value of variable life company-owned life insurance (COLI).
Other income of $3.8 million in the current quarter compared with $1.9 million in the prior year. The current quarter included a $2.1 million gain from the sale of a small equity investment, which was included in the company's earnings estimate for the quarter.
The company repurchased 1.1 million shares at a cost of $9.3 million in the first quarter. The repurchases were made under a stock repurchase agreement which expires in September 2012. At quarter end, the company had $144 million of remaining availability under its existing share repurchase authorization.
Cash, short-term investments and the cash surrender value of variable life COLI totaled $246.3 million and total debt was $291.0 million at the end of the first quarter.
The Board of Directors of Steelcase Inc. today declared a cash dividend $0.09 per share, to be paid on or before July 13, 2012 to shareholders of record as of July 2, 2012.
"The EMEA results, while disappointing overall, were also negatively impacted by the timing of order patterns and certain project shipments," said David C. Sylvester, senior vice president and CFO. "We expect improved results in the second quarter based on recent order growth and continued efforts to improve our business model across EMEA."
Outlook
First quarter order growth in the Americas approximated 9 percent compared to the prior year, or approximately 11 percent when adjusted for the estimated pull-forward impact of a May 2011 price increase. The company expects second quarter fiscal 2013 revenue to be in the range of $715 to $740 million. This estimate includes an assumption of approximately $22 million from unfavorable currency translation effects compared to the prior year, as well as the negative impact of a small divestiture. The company reported revenue of $700.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Adjusted for these impacts, the company projects second quarter organic revenue growth in the range of 5 to 9 percent over the prior year.
Steelcase expects to report earnings between $0.16 and $0.20 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.02 per share. Steelcase reported earnings of $0.09 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.06 per share.
"The momentum in our performance and the multiple awards won by our brands at this month's NeoCon trade show are further evidence that the market is responding to our insight-led innovation," Mr. Hackett said. "Our ability to leverage our research to design for current and future workplace needs is a vital competitive advantage."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the company has provided a reconciliation above of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures used within the company's earnings release are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue over the prior year excluding currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures; (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss), excluding restructuring costs; and (3) adjusted earnings per share, which represents earnings per share, excluding restructuring costs, net of tax. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.
Forward-looking Statements

These forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary from the company's expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters and other Force Majeure events; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; restructuring activities; changes in raw materials and commodity costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demands; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
