Mohawk Industries, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Earnings
CALHOUN, Georgia, Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) today announced 2012 second quarter net earnings of $73 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.06. Net earnings excluding restructuring charges were $79 million and EPS was $1.14, a 20% increase over last year's second quarter adjusted EPS. Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 were $1.5 billion, in line with prior year and an increase of 2% on a constant exchange rate. For the second quarter of 2011, net earnings were $61 million and EPS was $0.88. Net earnings excluding restructuring charges for the second quarter of 2011, were $66 million and EPS was $0.95.
For the six months ending June 30, 2012, net sales were $2.9 billion, an increase of 2% versus prior year and 4% on a constant exchange rate. Net earnings and EPS for the six-month period were $114 million and $1.64, respectively. Net earnings excluding restructuring charges were $120 million and EPS was $1.73, an increase of 25% over the six-month adjusted EPS results in 2011. For the six months ending July 2, 2011, net sales were $2.8 billion, net earnings were $84 million and EPS was $1.22. Excluding restructuring charges, net earnings and EPS were $95 million and $1.38, respectively.
Commenting on Mohawk Industries' second quarter performance, Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and CEO, stated, "Selling prices offsetting raw material inflation, productivity gains, product mix improvements and lower interest costs all contributed to our results. Sales increased 2% on a constant exchange rate with commercial sales continuing to outpace residential sales. We continue to control SG&A cost while increasing new product investments across all businesses. During the quarter, we generated adjusted EBITDA of $187 million, free cash flow of $96 million and paid off $336 million of senior notes. We have addressed many of today's economic challenges by enhancing our product differentiation, reducing costs, improving efficiencies and entering new product categories and geographies."
Mohawk segment adjusted operating income margin increased 110 basis points over 2011 with gains from pricing, improved product mix and lower costs from productivity offsetting lower volume and higher material costs. Segment sales were down 3% during the second quarter. Carpet sales for both the industry and Mohawk were approximately flat compared to last year with residential remodeling activity slow. Our rug sales continued to be soft due to lower retail sales, as well as retailers deferring promotional activities and further reducing inventory within the channel. During the quarter, Mohawk's SmartStrand® Silk™ premium carpet collection experienced strong sales growth due to its unsurpassed softness and proprietary environmental features. We executed productivity improvements across the business with particular gains from our capital investments and reduction of waste.
Dal-Tile segment sales grew 7% during the quarter or 8% on a constant exchange rate. The segment posted gains from increases in both residential and commercial sales and growth in the Mexican market. Operating margins were enhanced by higher volumes, greater manufacturing efficiencies, improved material formulations and increased recycling. To address the changing market demand, we converted mosaic and floor tile production to porcelain, increased our ability to make larger sizes and expanded our Reveal Imaging™ capabilities. The new Salamanca facility in Mexico is producing red-body tile for the domestic market. The plant's start-up costs are in line with our expectations, and we anticipate positive contributions in early 2013 due to higher volume and productivity.
Unilin segment sales decreased 2% but increased 7% on a constant exchange rate. Outside North America, laminate and wood flooring sales grew from continued expansion in the DIY channel, expanded distribution in the U.K. and Australian sales. Our Russian facility is progressing with increased productivity and is manufacturing more complex products. In North America, laminate sales grew from increased promotional activity by large retailers and greater penetration in the home center channel. Laminate collections featuring richly embossed surfaces, premium long planks and our proprietary GenuEdge Technology ™ improved our mix in both the remodeling and new construction markets. Our insulated roofing product sales declined in Europe as the housing market contracted but were offset by the growth of our insulation panels, which help to meet energy efficiency goals.
Mohawk's commitment to product innovation, resource management and process improvements yielded improved second quarter results. Our investments in innovative products improved our mix and contributed to higher margins. Though sales softened in the second quarter, U.S. order rates have shown some improvement as we began the third quarter. We do not expect material costs to follow oil price declines due to specific higher chemical costs. In the U.S., low mortgage rates and higher housing starts should support future flooring sales. In Europe, we will have the normal seasonal slowing and expect the present trends to continue with exchange rates being a headwind. Based on these factors, our guidance for third quarter earnings is $0.96 to $1.05 per share, excluding any restructuring costs.
We have addressed many of today's economic challenges by enhancing our product differentiation, reducing costs, improving efficiencies and entering new product categories and geographies. We retain a strong financial position, which provides us flexibility to invest in strategic opportunities going forward.
