Calgon Carbon Announces Second Quarter Results
PITTSBURGH, PA – 08/02/2011
Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC) announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The company reported net income of $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to net income of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2010. On a fully diluted basis, net income per common share for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.20, as compared to $0.05 for the second quarter of 2010.
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $17.4 million, versus $4.3 million for the comparable period of 2010.
Both income from operations and net income for the second quarter of 2010 included an $11.5 million ($7.2 million after-tax) charge for a litigation contingency.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 were $135.3 million, an $11.7 million, or a 9.5%, increase over the comparable period in 2010. Currency translation had a $6.6 million positive impact on sales for the second quarter due to the weak dollar.
For the second quarter of 2011, sales for the Activated Carbon and Service segment increased 10.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. The increase was due principally to higher demand for certain activated carbon and service products in the environmental water, environmental air, and food markets.
Equipment sales for the second quarter of 2011 increased 5.0% over the second quarter of 2010 due to higher revenue from ballast water treatment systems. For the second quarter of 2011, Consumer sales were comparable to the second quarter of 2010.
Net sales less the cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2011 was 32.8% versus 34.8% for the second quarter of 2010. One percentage point of the decline was attributable to a $1.3 million charge related to the PreZerve® product line, which was previously disclosed as being discontinued. An increase in sales of lower margin outsourced carbon products also contributed to the decline.
Selling, administrative and research expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were comparable to the second quarter of 2010. As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A improved to 16.6% for the second quarter of 2011 versus 17.8% for the second quarter of 2010.
Environmental and litigation contingencies for the second quarter of 2011 included a $1.3 million reduction in the estimate to complete a remediation project at the company’s production facility in Columbus, Ohio. In the second quarter of 2010, the company recorded an $11.5 million litigation contingency charge.
Calgon Carbon’s board of directors did not declare a quarterly dividend.
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $259.7 million, a $33.2 million, or a 14.6%, increase over the comparable period in 2010. Of this increase, $17.9 million is attributable to an additional three months of Calgon Carbon Japan net revenue, since its results were fully consolidated as of April 1, 2010.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2010, included a gain on acquisitions of $2.7 million.
Currency translation had a $7.5 million positive impact on sales for the first half of 2011 due to the weak dollar.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $19.8 million versus $12.4 million for the comparable period of 2010. Fully diluted net income per common share for the first half of 2011 was $0.35. Fully diluted net income per common share for the first half of 2010 was $0.22.
Commenting on the quarter, John Stanik, Calgon Carbon’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “Calgon Carbon’s performance for the quarter was solid, as sales strengthened and mix improved as the quarter progressed. Margins also improved sequentially, excluding the effect of the PreZerve inventory charge.”
