DALLAS, Feb. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSW Industrials, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSWI) today reported results for the fiscal third quarter and year-to-date period ended December 31, 2019.

Fiscal third quarter revenue was $83.7 million, representing 8.0% growth as compared to $77.5 million in the prior year period, driven by increased sales in both the Industrial Products and Specialty Chemicals segments. Organic growth equated to 3.4% of the total 8.0% growth, and the remainder was due to revenue generated by acquisitions completed within the past twelve months. Organic sales growth, as compared to the prior year quarter, was predominantly driven by heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R), plumbing, and general industrial end markets, and were partially offset by the architecturally-specified building products and energy end markets.

GAAP operating income from continuing operations in the fiscal third quarter of 2020 increased 11.3% to $10.5 million, compared to $9.4 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of increased gross profit, due to sales growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses due to investments in our sales and marketing efforts. There were no adjustments to operating income in the third quarter 2020 or the prior year period.

GAAP net income from continuing operations in the fiscal third quarter of 2020 was $7.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior year period. After adjusting both quarters to exclude one-time items and to apply a normalized tax rate, adjusted net income from continuing operations in the fiscal third quarter of 2020 was $7.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President commented, “The momentum we have demonstrated all year continued into the fiscal third quarter, underscored by another solid quarter of growth in both the top and bottom line. This resulted in 11.1% total revenue growth and 17.9% adjusted operating income growth year to date, despite a challenging year-over-year comparison, particularly in the fiscal third quarter of 2019. Our quarterly and year-to-date results represent significant outperformance relative to GDP in these periods. These impressive results were driven by contributions from both segments, strong performance from our recent acquisitions, our team’s focus on innovative product introductions, investments in key personnel across our sales and marketing teams, and success in leveraging our channels to market.”

Armes continued, “Our focus remains on generating sustainable and profitable growth for our shareholders, while maintaining a strong balance sheet that supports our capital allocation strategy. We are succeeding on these metrics, and our strong operating cash flow provides ample resources to invest in innovative organic growth initiatives, enhance our industry leading brands, pursue accretive M&A, and deliver on our commitments to return cash to shareholders.”

Fiscal Third Quarter Results of Operations

Consolidated revenue from continuing operations increased 8.0% to $83.7 million, compared to $77.5 million in the prior year period.

Consolidated gross profit increased 10.1% to $37.7 million, compared to $34.2 million in the prior year period, primarily a result of the positive impact of recent acquisitions and leverage from increased sales, partially offset by a decline in the architecturally-specified building products end market. Gross margin as a percentage of sales improved 80 basis points to 45.0%, compared to 44.2% in the prior year period.

Consolidated operating expenses in the current quarter were $27.2 million, or 32.5% of sales, and as a percent of sales increased 50 basis points over the prior year level of 32.0%, or $24.8 million. The increases in both operating expense and operating expense as a percent of sales were primarily driven by additional personnel related expenses and selling, general and administrative costs related to acquired businesses.

GAAP net income from continuing operations of $7.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share compared to $6.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the prior year period. After adjusting both quarters to exclude one-time items and to apply a normalized tax rate, adjusted net income from continuing operations improved 5.2% to $7.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $7.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Industrial Products segment revenue increased 11.5% (3.3% organic) to $48.7 million, compared to $43.7 million in the prior year period. Sales volumes in the plumbing and HVAC/R end markets drove most of the strong organic revenue growth, partially offset by a decline in the architecturally-specified building products end market. GAAP segment operating income increased 7.2% to $8.6 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year period. The increased profits were driven by higher sales, partially offset by negative mix in architecturally-specified building products. There were no adjustments to GAAP results in the current or prior year periods.

Specialty Chemicals segment revenue improved 3.6%, all of which was organic, to $35.0 million, compared to $33.8 million in the prior year period. Growth was primarily driven by increased sales in the rail, plumbing, and mining end markets, partially offset by a decline in the energy end market. Due to increased sales and favorable sales mix, GAAP segment operating income rose 18.4% to $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million in the prior year period. There were no adjustments to GAAP results in the current or prior year periods.

Following quarter end, CSWI declared its fourth consecutive quarterly regular cash dividend of $0.135 per share, payable on February 14, 2020, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2020.

Year-to-Date 2020 Results of Operations

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, consolidated revenue from continuing operations increased 11.1% (6.6% organic) to $287.4 million, compared to $258.7 million in the prior year period. Organic sales growth occurred in all end markets, except general industrial, which was relatively flat when compared to the prior year period.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, consolidated gross profit increased 11.6% to $132.3 million, compared to $118.5 million in the prior year period, primarily a result of the positive impact of leverage from increased sales and recent acquisitions, partially offset by the negative net impact from the current and prior year sales of property, plant, and equipment. Gross margin as a percentage of sales improved approximately 20 basis points to 46.0%, compared to 45.8% in the prior year period.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, consolidated operating expenses were $81.4 million, or 28.3% of sales, and as a percent of sales decreased approximately 40 basis points over the prior year level of 28.7%, or $74.2 million. The modest improvement in operating expense margin was primarily driven by sales leverage.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, GAAP net income from continuing operations was $31.4 million, or $2.07 per diluted share compared to $32.4 million, or $2.07 per diluted share in the prior year period. After adjusting the current year-to-date period to exclude one-time items, the most significant being the charge in the fiscal second quarter to terminate the U.S. qualified pension plan ($5.4 million after-tax, or $0.35 per diluted share), and a normalized tax rate, adjusted net income from continuing operations improved 13.5% to $35.8 million, or $2.35 per diluted share. In the prior year period, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude one-time items and applying a normalized tax rate, net income from continuing operations was $31.5 million, or $2.02 per diluted share.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, the Industrial Products segment revenue increased 14.8% (7.2% organic) to $174.8 million, compared to $152.2 million in the prior year period. Sales volumes in the HVAC/R, plumbing and general industrial end markets drove most of the strong organic revenue growth, partially offset by a decline in the rail end market. GAAP segment operating income increased 16.4% to $42.1 million, compared to $36.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude non-recurring items related to the sale of a facility in the prior year period, segment operating income increased 17.2% to $42.1 million, compared to $35.9 million in the prior year period. The increased profits were driven by higher sales, partially offset by increased personnel related expenses and a $0.5 million gain on the sale of property in the prior year that did not recur.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, the Specialty Chemicals segment revenue improved 5.8%, all of which was organic, to $112.6 million, compared to $106.5 million in the prior year period. The Specialty Chemicals segment benefitted primarily from increased sales of consumable products into the rail, energy, architecturally-specified building products, and mining end markets, slightly offset by a decline in the general industrial end market. Due to increased sales, GAAP segment operating income rose 11.5% to $19.2 million, compared to $17.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted to exclude non-recurring items related to the sale of a facility in each of the periods, segment operating income increased 17.8% to $18.4 million, compared to $15.6 million in the prior year period.

Year-to-date cash provided from continuing operations was $60.4 million compared to $58.3 million in the prior year period.

All percentages are calculated based upon the attached financial statements and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

We also believe these measures are useful for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-operating items.
