Daktronics, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results
Financial Highlights Include:
• Sales for the quarter exceed expectations, up 15% year to date
• Opportunities increasing internationally
• Net sales and earnings for the fourth quarter expected to increase over fiscal 07
Brookings, S.D. – Feb. 13, 2008 - Daktronics, Inc. (Nasdaq - DAKT) today reported fiscal 2008 third quarter net sales of $118.2 million and net income of $5.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with third quarter net sales of $106.7 million and net income of $7.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Backlog at the end of the third quarter was approximately $138 million, compared with a backlog of approximately $98 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007, and $119 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Net sales, net income and earnings per share for the nine months ending January 26, 2008, were $370.6 million, $20.5 million and $0.49 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $322.4 million, $20.9 million and $0.51 per diluted share, respectively, for the same period in fiscal 2007.
“The fact that we exceeded our top line estimates is indicative that our focus on streamlining manufacturing is on track as we were able to respond to the opportunity during the quarter,” said Jim Morgan, chief executive officer. Order bookings for the quarter were also strong and are up more than 20 percent for the fiscal year. Our net income is down for both the quarter and year to date on higher net sales, emphasizing the need to take additional steps to get the business operating at the levels it should for the long-term.”
Morgan continued, “In the Live Events segment, orders for the quarter included three large professional sports facilities contracts totaling more than $40 million, plus a verbal commitment on a university sports facility in excess of $9 million. Our pipeline is strong, and we expect to end the year with a strong backlog in this area.”
Morgan added, “Sales in the Commercial segment for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were up 35% over the same quarter of fiscal 2007 as both of our commercial factories performed very well. For the year, revenues are up 40%. This revenue growth is led by the digital billboard business. The reseller and national accounts business remain strong as well.”
“Our Schools and Theatres segment, along with the transportation segment, continued to perform as expected and remain solid businesses with good long-term growth expectations. The quarter included a multi-million dollar Vortek hoist system order, which was very exciting for our new Vortek business.”
“Our International saw sales grow more than 20 percent for the third quarter. More importantly, with our backlog and some orders that we consider highly probable, we are expecting the fourth quarter to be a record revenue quarter for international. We are very pleased to be working with JCDecaux on its first major rollout of digital billboards in Europe. It would appear that Europe is poised for growth in digital billboards. We have been investing in our infrastructure in Europe for the past four years, and we expect our operating margins to improve there as our revenues grow,” said Morgan.
“Our gross margins were strong prior to taking into account higher than expected warranty costs during the quarter, which exceeded $1.0 million”, said Bill Retterath, chief financial officer. “These excess costs were incurred on a few installations primarily related to new or unique products or design changes. They are also
indicative of our commitment to customer satisfaction. We expect some limited pressure on gross margins in the fourth quarter as a result of the larger sports projects we booked recently.”
Retterath added, “Operating expenses were more than expected for the quarter. We had higher than expected costs on health insurance and other payroll related items along with higher professional fees. We have taken additional steps to right size the organization from an operating expense perspective but have more work to do. In the last month, we eliminated a significant number of open positions in an effort to curtail the rate of hiring, and we expect to eliminate more open positions in the next few weeks. Offsetting this, we still need to invest in areas that are critical to our growth expectations, with a focus on process and system improvements to operate more efficiently in the future.”
“Non-operating income included extra interest costs related to sales tax audits concluded during the quarter, a $2.8 million gain on the sale of our interest in Arena Media Networks and a larger than expected loss on our share of earnings in FuelCast Networks as we expanded the network and saw sales less than expected. We expect this to turn around in calendar year 2008 as FuelCast further develops its advertising revenues,” concluded Retterath.
Business Outlook
The company is providing financial guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Daktronics expects that net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 will be in the range of $130 million to $138 million and net earnings will be in the range of $0.12 to $0.19 per share. As in the past, this guidance is subject to a number of factors that could cause it to vary.
Webcast Information
The company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its financial results today at 10:00 am (Central Time). This call will be broadcast live at http://investor.daktronics.com and available for replay shortly after the event.
