Wednesday October 23, 4:14 pm ET
Bookings Up 36% to $200 Million Through Nine Months


LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2002--Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:SYPR - News) today reported third quarter earnings increased 33% to $0.24 per diluted share compared to $0.18 per diluted share for the third quarter in 2001. Net income for the third quarter increased 101% to a record $3.5 million compared to $1.8 million for the same quarter in 2001. Revenue increased 8% to $70.8 million from $65.2 million for the prior year period.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2002, the Company reported earnings increased 53% to $0.61 per diluted share compared to $0.40 per diluted share for the prior year period, while net income increased 105% to a record $8.2 million compared to $4.0 million for the prior year period. Revenue for the first nine months increased 11% to $206.8 million, up from $186.4 million for the same period in 2001.

"We are pleased with the financial results for the quarter and for the first nine months of 2002," said Jeffrey T. Gill, president and chief executive officer. "The Company`s margins continued to expand, while revenue increased for the thirteenth consecutive quarter on a comparable period basis. Net bookings increased 15% to $64.8 million when compared to the prior year quarter, resulting in a year-to-date increase in net bookings of 36% to $200.1 million when compared to the first nine months of 2001."

"The quarter was highlighted not only by a sound operational performance but also by the increase in the Company`s free cash flow to a new quarterly record of $9.7 million, reflecting strong earnings, improved working capital management and lower capital investment. With net debt representing just 10% of total capital, the Company`s balance sheet remains healthy, and we currently have $110 million of available credit capacity to pursue additional opportunities that meet our investment criteria and will further accelerate the Company`s growth."

The Industrial Group

Revenue for the Industrial Group increased 71% to $24.4 million in the third quarter from $14.3 million for the prior year period, reflecting shipments to Visteon under a previously announced 5-year contract and increased demand for manufacturing services from Dana and ArvinMeritor. Gross profit for the quarter increased 136% to $3.8 million from $1.6 million for the same period in 2001, primarily due to the increase in volume with Dana and Visteon.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2002, revenue for the Industrial Group increased 110% to $67.1 million from $31.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting the addition of the Dana and Visteon contracts in June 2001 and March 2002, respectively. Gross profit for the first nine months increased 179% to $10.1 million from $3.6 million for the prior year period as a result of volume associated with the Dana and Visteon contracts and improving productivity.

"The positive impact of the Dana and Visteon contracts continues to drive the results of the Industrial Group," said Gill. "Net bookings increased 118% to $63.3 million year-to-date, but we now clearly see the signs of a slowdown in the near-term demand for Class 8 trucks. The slowing demand is reflected in our backlog, which declined 14% sequentially from the high reported in the second quarter of this year. Most of this drop occurred at the end of the period as customers reduced their forward requirements."

The Electronics Group

Revenue for the Electronics Group declined 9% to $46.4 million in the third quarter from $50.9 million for the prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of a 22% decline in revenue for test and measurement services. Gross profit for the quarter increased 8% to $10.2 million from $9.5 million in the same period in 2001 as a result of increasing demand for higher margin services and products from several of the Company`s aerospace and defense electronics customers, including the National Security Agency and Lockheed Martin.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2002, revenue for the Electronics Group declined 10% to $139.7 million from $154.5 million for the prior year period, reflecting an expected reduction in aerospace and defense shipments and a 19% decline in revenue for test and measurement services. Gross profit for the first nine months declined 2% to $27.9 million from $28.5 million for the prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of the decline in revenue for the Group, offset by increasing margins on contracts with aerospace and defense electronics customers.

"The performance of the Electronics Group was rewarding, especially the continued strength of our aerospace and defense electronics business," said Gill. "Net bookings for this business increased 23% for the quarter and 31% for the year, while bookings for the Electronics Group as a whole increased 14% and 16%, respectively, reflecting the continued softness in demand for test and measurement services. Gross margins expanded to 20.0% of revenue from 18.5% for the first nine months of last year, reflecting improved productivity, a better revenue mix and higher customer concentration."

Outlook

Gill added, "We believe that a continued improvement in the mix of revenue and operating efficiencies will help to offset some of the impact of the near-term weakness we have been experiencing in our markets for test and measurement services, and that appears to be developing now for truck components and assemblies. Looking forward, we expect earnings in the fourth quarter of 2002 to be $0.21 to $0.23 per diluted share, assuming 14.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.23 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2001 on 10.4 million weighted average shares outstanding. At the midpoint of this range, net income is expected to increase 34% to $3.2 million from $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2001. We expect revenue for the fourth quarter to be equal to or slightly greater than the $68.2 million reported for the prior year period."

"For 2003, our outlook is for continued earnings growth, with full year results increasing to $0.95 to $1.00 per diluted share, up from $0.81 to $0.83 per diluted share for 2002. The 2003 outlook includes the impact of an expected increase in the Company`s effective tax rate to 36% to 38%, up from 32% for 2002, primarily due to the utilization of certain state tax benefits in 2002. We also expect the number of weighted average shares outstanding to increase to 14.7 million for 2003, up from 13.7 million for 2002, to reflect the full year impact of the Company`s stock offering in March 2002."

"Revenue is expected to increase in line with our long-term model, which contemplates growth of 12% to 15% per year. We believe the year-to-year growth is likely to be stronger in the second half of 2003 when this year`s increase in aerospace and defense electronics bookings will start being converted into shipments. We also expect demand for truck components and assemblies to strengthen as 2003 unfolds."

Other Matters

During the third quarter, the Company received a final judgment in its favor in the lawsuit filed against the Company by Exxon Mobil in state district court in Louisiana. That suit involved a claim for damages potentially exceeding one hundred million dollars for the explosion of a coker plant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Company remains a party to a previously disclosed federal court class action related to this matter.

Sypris Reports 38% Gain in Fourth Quarter Net Income
Wednesday February 5, 4:01 pm ET
Full Year Net Income Rises 80%


LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2003--Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:SYPR - News) today reported fourth quarter net income increased 38% to $3.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, based on 14.5 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net income in the year-earlier period of $2.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, based on 10.4 million weighted average shares outstanding. The Company reported revenue for the fourth quarter of $66.7 million compared to $68.2 million for the prior year period.

For the full year 2002, net income increased 80% to a record $11.4 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, based on 13.7 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net income for the prior year of $6.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, based on 10.0 million weighted average shares outstanding. Revenue for 2002 increased 7% to $273.5 million, up from $254.6 million for 2001.

"The results for the fourth quarter and full year 2002 reflected the Company`s strong financial health," said Jeffrey T. Gill, president and chief executive officer. "The Company reported record net income for the year despite the severe contraction in the heavy-duty truck market during the fourth quarter. Net bookings remained solid at $65.6 million for the quarter, resulting in a year-to-date increase in net bookings of 10% to $265.8 million when compared to 2001."

"We continued to invest in our future during 2002, spending almost $20 million, or 7% of revenue, for new state-of-the-art equipment and systems. The Company`s balance sheet remains in excellent shape, and with cash and available credit capacity of $100 million, we are in a solid position to pursue future opportunities that offer the potential to accelerate the Company`s growth in earnings."

The Industrial Group

Revenue for the Industrial Group increased 29% to $19.8 million in the fourth quarter from $15.4 million for the prior year period, but declined 19% sequentially from the third quarter of 2002 due to a 25% decline in shipments of medium and heavy-duty truck components. Gross profit for the quarter declined 35% to $1.7 million from $2.6 million for the same period in 2001 and 55% sequentially from the third quarter of 2002, primarily due to the decline in revenue and the costs incurred to adjust employment to coincide with the lower revenue levels.

For the full year 2002, revenue for the Industrial Group increased 84% to $86.9 million from $47.4 million in the prior year, reflecting the addition of the Dana and Visteon contracts in June 2001 and March 2002, respectively. Gross profit for 2002 increased 90% to $11.7 million from $6.2 million for the prior year as a result of volume associated with the Dana and Visteon contracts.

Gill said, "The requirements of two major customers dropped abruptly in mid-November, reflecting an end to the increased purchase of heavy-duty trucks in advance of new emissions mandates. In addition, three of our largest customers, ArvinMeritor, Dana and Visteon, elected to shut down production for the holidays on December 20, 2002 and did not reopen until January 6, 2003. Once the reduced requirements of our customers became firm, we implemented cost reduction efforts to preserve profitability. Unfortunately, the impact of these actions to lower our costs occurred too late in the period to have a meaningful positive effect on the financial results for the quarter."

"Despite the decline in demand for medium and heavy-duty trucks late in the year, the financial performance of the Industrial Group for 2002 as a whole was extremely positive. Net bookings increased 40% to $82 million, and operating margins increased over the prior year. We continue to believe that the long-term outlook for this market remains positive and that we are well-positioned to benefit from the eventual recovery of the heavy-duty truck market to more normal levels of production."

The Electronics Group

Revenue for the Electronics Group declined 11% to $46.8 million in the fourth quarter from $52.8 million for the prior year, primarily reflecting the completion of a commercial contract for a semiconductor company in the fourth quarter of 2001. Gross profit for the quarter increased 11% to $9.9 million, or 21.0% of revenue, from $8.8 million, or 16.7% of revenue, in the same period in 2001 as a result of the Company`s ongoing effort to improve its operating performance and margins.

For the full year, revenue for the Electronics Group declined 10% to $186.6 million from $207.3 million for the prior year, reflecting the completion of the commercial contract, lower aerospace and defense shipments and a 16% decline in revenue for test and measurement services. Gross profit for 2002 increased 1% to $37.8 million, or 20.3% of revenue, from $37.4 million, or 18.0% of revenue, for the prior year as a result of the continuing improvement in productivity, revenue mix and customer concentration.

"Operating margins continued to strengthen within our aerospace and defense electronics sector," said Gill. "We are pleased to report that demand in the fourth quarter for test and measurement services, while down from a year ago, was similar to the third quarter level, indicating that we may have reached a cyclical trough in this business. This portion of our business has been affected by the downturn in the commercial aerospace, telecommunications and semiconductor markets during 2002, and the potential stabilization of demand indicated by the sequential quarter-to-quarter comparison is a positive sign."

Outlook

Gill added, "The first quarter is our seasonally weakest period, and 2003 is not anticipated to be an exception. We expect the production of medium and heavy-duty trucks in the first quarter will decrease as much as 15% from the prior year period but anticipate a fairly steady recovery during the second half of 2003. The short-term outlook for several of our aerospace and defense customers is becoming less certain as well, as they compete for funds that appear to be increasingly redirected to support the deployment of our troops to the Middle East. After the expected appropriation of funds for the war effort by Congress, however, we believe the outlook for this portion of our business will regain its positive momentum."

"As a result, we are cautious about the first quarter and are forecasting earnings of $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share, assuming 14.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2002 on 10.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. We expect revenue for the first quarter to be in the range of $60 to $64 million versus $62.5 million in the year-earlier period."

Gill continued, "This near-term earnings outlook reflects the increased uncertainty that has developed in our major markets in recent months. We view this situation as temporary, however, and remain optimistic about our long-term prospects and our ability to generate double-digit earnings growth. The production of heavy-duty trucks is anticipated to increase through 2006, a period during which over two million existing vehicles are expected to enter their natural replacement cycle. The market for aerospace and defense electronics is expected to benefit from increased spending for national defense, plans to modernize our Country`s intelligence and surveillance networks and increased outsourcing by prime contractors."

"For the full year 2003, our outlook remains positive. We expect earnings in the range of $0.90 to $1.00 per diluted share, assuming 14.7 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.84 per diluted share for 2002 on 13.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. Revenue for 2003 is expected to increase 10% to 12%, reflecting the relatively soft start anticipated in the first quarter and our expectations that a recovery in our growth during the second half of 2003 will exceed that of our long-term growth model of 12% to 15%."
