ATLANTA, Nov. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA) announced today that for its fourth quarter ended September 30, 2016, net sales were $302.5 million compared with $311.4 million in the prior year. Operating income increased 5.2 percent to $46.7 million compared with $44.4 million in the prior year, and adjusted operating income increased 7.6 percent to $48.4 million compared with $45.0 million in the prior year. Net income per diluted share increased to $0.16 compared with $0.14 in the prior year, and adjusted net income per diluted share improved to $0.17 from $0.14. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $61.8 million from $59.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted net income per diluted share for fiscal 2016 increased 25.6 percent to $0.49 from $0.39. Net debt leverage declined to 1.5x at September 30, 2016.
“We are pleased that we continue to see margin expansion in all three of our businesses, which contributed to the 7.6 percent increase in adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter, and which more than offset the impact of a slight decrease in revenue,” said Gregory E. Hyland, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water Products. “For Mueller Water Products, adjusted EBITDA margin for the 2016 fourth quarter improved 120 basis points to 20.4 percent and our adjusted EBITDA for the year increased to $198.1 million. Free cash flow was $105.7 million for the year, or 132.3 percent of adjusted net income.
“Mueller Co.’s domestic sales of valves, hydrants and brass products increased 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter. This growth was not enough to offset the expected sales decline of our Henry Pratt water treatment valves. Mueller Co. again had strong margin improvement, with adjusted EBITDA margin improving 150 basis points to 30.3 percent.
“Anvil’s net sales for the 2016 fourth quarter decreased 7.3 percent due to lower shipment volumes into the mechanical and oil & gas markets. Despite lower net sales, Anvil's adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points in the quarter.
“Mueller Technologies showed meaningful operating improvement in the fourth quarter on essentially flat sales. Product mix was favorable and backlog was strong entering the fiscal 2017 first quarter.
“As we look to 2017, we expect continued growth in our key end markets. As capacity utilization increases, we believe operating leverage will continue to be strong in all three businesses.”
Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results
Net sales for the 2016 fourth quarter decreased $8.9 million, or 2.9 percent, to $302.5 million compared with $311.4 million for the 2015 fourth quarter, due primarily to lower shipment volumes at Anvil.
Operating income for the 2016 fourth quarter was $46.7 million compared with $44.4 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating income for the 2016 fourth quarter increased 7.6 percent to $48.4 million compared with $45.0 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Operating performance improved at Mueller Co., Anvil and Mueller Technologies.
Fourth Quarter Segment Results
Mueller Co.
Net sales for the 2016 fourth quarter decreased 1.0 percent to $190.1 million compared with $192.0 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Higher domestic shipments of valves, hydrants and brass products were more than offset by lower shipments of water treatment valves at Henry Pratt.
Operating income for the 2016 fourth quarter improved 7.7 percent to $48.9 million compared with $45.4 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating income for the 2016 fourth quarter improved 7.2 percent to $48.9 million compared with $45.6 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating margin for the 2016 fourth quarter improved 190 basis points to 25.7 percent compared with 23.8 percent for the 2015 fourth quarter. Operating income increased primarily due to favorable product mix, lower raw material costs and other cost savings.
Anvil
Net sales for the 2016 fourth quarter decreased 7.3 percent to $86.9 million compared with $93.7 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Higher shipment volumes of fire protection products were more than offset by lower shipment volumes into the mechanical and oil & gas markets.
Operating efficiencies and other cost savings more than offset the impact of lower net sales, and operating income was $8.7 million for the 2016 fourth quarter compared with $8.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income for the 2016 fourth quarter increased 6.7 percent to $9.5 million compared with $8.9 million for the 2015 fourth quarter.
Mueller Technologies
Net sales for the 2016 fourth quarter was $25.5 million compared with $25.7 million for the 2015 fourth quarter.
Operating loss improved to $0.9 million for the 2016 fourth quarter from a loss of $1.8 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating loss for the 2016 fourth quarter improved $1.3 million to $0.5 million compared with $1.8 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. This improvement was due primarily to favorable product mix, as AMI shipments continued to grow, and lower expenses.
Income Taxes
For the 2016 fourth quarter, income tax expense was $14.6 million on income before income taxes of $41.1 million, or an effective income tax rate of 35.5 percent. For the fiscal year, the effective tax rate was 34.1 percent compared with an effective income tax rate of 39.1 percent in the prior year. The 2016 effective tax rate was lower primarily due to the favorable impact of federal R&D tax credits.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results as determined by GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP information that management believes is useful to investors. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company presents adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as performance measures because management uses these measures in evaluating the Company's underlying performance on a consistent basis across periods and in making decisions about operational strategies. Management also believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company's recurring performance.
The Company presents net debt and net debt leverage as performance measures because management uses them in evaluating its capital management and investment community commonly uses them as measures of indebtedness. The Company presents free cash flow because management believes it is commonly used by the investment community to measure the Company's ability to create liquidity.
The calculations of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to GAAP results are included as an attachment to this press release and have been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.
