KENT, Wash., July 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flow International Corporation (Nasdaq:FLOW), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of industrial waterjet machines for cutting and cleaning applications, today reported results for its fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and year ended April 30, 2013.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Flow reported consolidated revenue growth of 2%, reaching a new record level of $259.3 million, compared to $253.8 million in the prior fiscal year. Sales from the Standard segment also reached an all-time high of $239.4 million for the fiscal year 2013, a 4% increase from the prior fiscal year, as consumable spare parts sales grew 8% to $86.2 million, also a record, and sales of Standard Systems increased 2% to a record $153.2 million. Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $5.0 million or $0.11 per share from continuing operations, which compares to net income of $9.4 million or $0.20 per share in the prior fiscal year.
For the quarter, Flow reported revenues of $58.4 million, compared to year-ago fourth quarter revenues of $63.4 million. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $1.9 million or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared to net income of $2.6 million or $0.06 per share in the year-ago quarter. The Company's fourth quarter net loss includes charges specifically related to its Brazil operations, of approximately $2.3 million. These charges include an adjustment of $0.7 million primarily related to inventory, $0.4 million related to an investigation into allegations of employee misappropriation of Company assets, and $1.2 million for tax reserves and higher non-deductible costs under Brazilian tax regulations.
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2013 was $21.2 million or 8% of sales, compared to $24.4 million or 10% of sales for the prior fiscal year. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million or 3% of sales, compared to $5.5 million or 9% of sales in the year-ago quarter. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is provided in the accompanying financial tables.
"Macro-economic uncertainty impacted sales this quarter after periods of record sales and sequential growth in nine out of the past eleven quarters," said Charley Brown, President and CEO. "While we are optimistic about our long term prospects, given the uncertainty in the marketplace that we are experiencing, we have taken steps to reduce our overall cost structure by approximately $13 million on an annualized basis. These steps, which we announced in June, include the reduction of operating expenses by $9 million and the reduction in our product costs by $4 million. We expect to achieve these annualized targets by the end of fiscal year 2014."

| The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), excluding the effects of income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and other non-cash charges, which includes such items as stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency gains or losses, and other non-cash allowable add backs pursuant to the Company's Credit Facility Agreement. | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure are significant components of the Company's financial statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive analysis of the overall financial results. The Company uses this measure, together with GAAP financial metrics, to assess its financial performance, allocate resources, evaluate the overall progress towards meeting its long-term financial objectives, and assess compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used in the Company's financial and operational decision making. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of similar measures used by other companies. | ||||||
