ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2004 RESULTS

 

Company also announces filing of

FY2004 Third Quarter Form 10-Q and FY2004 Form 10-K

 

HOUSTON — DECEMBER 14, 2004 — Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (NYSE: IES) today announced results for its fiscal 2004 third quarter ended June 30, 2004, and fiscal 2004 fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2004. A summary of recent events includes:

 

  Filed 10-Q and 10-K with the SEC

 

  Raised $36.0 million in convertible debt offering

 

  Amended senior secured credit facility

 

  Sold three business units as part of strategic realignment for $11.5 million

 

  Settled recent lawsuit for $8.0 million

 

  Restated fiscal years 2002, 2003 and six months ended March 31, 2004, which reduced net income by $1.7 million, $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively

 

Roddy Allen, IES’ chief executive officer, stated, “I am very pleased to be able to report IES’ financial results. The past several months have been difficult for IES as well as our investors and others interested in our success. I appreciate your patience and support as we worked through our issues.

 

“We were profitable for fiscal year 2004 prior to one-time charges and generated positive free cash flow from operations. Including the one-time charges IES reported a loss of $3.23 per share. We have provided a reconciliation of our financial results prior to these charges in the supplemental data section of this release.


“Our results are presented in a slightly different format in this release due to the multiple periods covered. Both our Form 10-Q for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2004 and our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

“Our 2004 results were below our year ago expectations and plans; however, we have successfully worked through a number of challenging issues and can resume our focus on operations. We have implemented several procedures to address the matters at two business units, which we disclosed during the summer of 2004. Additionally, after exhaustive internal and external reviews, we determined that those matters were not widespread. However, the process of delaying our financial filings as a result of these items was very time consuming and distracting from our operations. The process included having to obtain waivers from our credit facility participants and bondholders, as well as spending considerable additional time and expense for the audit and internal review processes. The effects of these distractions are reflected in our 2004 fourth quarter results.

 

“During the last several months, we have been working to provide IES with a fresh start in several respects. As a result of our previously announced strategic review process, a number of commercial / industrial business units will be divested. We assessed our business units based on consistency of profitability; return on capital, including capital employed for bonding; construction spending and growth trends; and management strength. The star performers continue to be our units that perform residential work. This segment reported another record breaking year in terms of profits, growth and capital efficiency, with $310 million in revenue and nearly $60 million in gross profit.

 

“As a result of our strategic review, we now view our business units in three broad categories: Core, Under Review and Planned Divestitures. We have added a table later in this release that summarizes the results of these units for 2003 and 2004. The Core units, which include our residential units, form a solid operating group that produced 2004 revenues of $830.8 million and operating income of $44.8 million. The units Under Review are businesses that are still being evaluated and we may elect to dispose of some of these when that evaluation is complete. These units produced 2004 revenues of $357.2 million and operating income of $12.4 million. The Planned Divestiture group, disclosed in an October 28, 2004 press release, produced $289.9 million in 2004 revenues and lost $13.5 million from operations. We have already sold three of the Planned Divestiture units for total cash consideration of $11.5 million. Additionally, we improved our liquidity with the recent $36 million senior convertible notes issuance, successfully amended our senior secured credit facility, and are in compliance with all of our covenant requirements,” added Allen.

Revenues for 2004 were $1,424.1 million, or 1.6% below prior year revenues of $1,447.8 million. Gross profits for 2004 fell by $32.5 million or 15.7%, from $206.4 million in 2003 to $173.9 million in 2004, due to a reduction in commercial and industrial revenues and increases in commodity prices, which affected our longer term projects where the company was not able to recover these added costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2004 were $158.9 million, including a charge for litigation settlement of $8.0 million, compared to $153.7 million in 2003. Income from operations for 2004, including a goodwill impairment charge of $99.8 million and the litigation settlement charge, was a loss of $84.8 million, compared to income of $52.8 million in 2003.

 

Fiscal 2004 segment revenues for commercial/industrial were $1,114.1 million compared to $1,171.6 million in fiscal 2003. Residential revenues for fiscal 2004 were $310.0 million compared to $276.2 million in fiscal 2003. Gross profits from the commercial/industrial segment of $114.1 million were adversely affected by higher job costs compared to 2003, primarily associated with the business units that the company plans to divest as well as increases in commodity prices that IES were not able to recover from its customers. IES’ residential segment gross profits of $59.8 million were over 19% of segment revenues and exceeded the prior year segment gross profits by $1.8 million. Segment results are summarized in the following table:

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 were $356.9 million, down 6.3% from $380.9 million in 2003. The decline is primarily due to weaker performance in the commercial and industrial segment. Gross profit was $37.2 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2004 versus $52.7 million in 2003. This decline was a result of poor performance during 2004 of the units to be divested, reduced revenues in the commercial and industrial segment, as well as the continued effects of the increase in commodity prices experienced in the second and third fiscal quarter that we were unable to recover from our customers. Additionally, the recent internal and external reviews distracted the remaining business units, resulting in lower earnings compared to the prior year quarter. Income from operations, including the goodwill impairment and the settlement of the previously disclosed lawsuit, was a loss of $111.6 million in 2004 compared to income of $13.3 million in the year ago quarter.

Fourth quarter segment revenues for commercial/industrial were $275.4 million in fiscal 2004 compared to $309.7 million in fiscal 2003. Residential revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 were $81.5 million compared to $71.1 million in fiscal 2003. Gross profits from the commercial/industrial segment were adversely affected by higher job costs, primarily associated with the business units that the company plans to divest. IES’ residential segment gross profits were nearly 19% of segment revenues and exceeded the prior year quarter by $1.4 million. Segment results are summarized in the following table:

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 were $367.0 million compared to revenues of $375.3 million for the third quarter a year ago. Gross profit was $42.8 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2004 versus $53.4 million in 2003. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 was $4.3 million versus income of $15.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2003. The negative variance is due in part to the previously disclosed charges at two business units, as well as the continued volatility in copper, steel and gasoline prices, which negatively impacted third quarter results by approximately $3.4 million.

 

Third quarter segment revenues for the commercial/industrial segment were $280.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared to $305.6 million in fiscal 2003. Residential revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 were $83.1 million compared to $69.7 million in fiscal 2003. Segment results are summarized in the following table:

BACKLOG AND BONDING

 

IES’ backlog was $662 million as of September 30, 2004, $46 million less than the year ago backlog due to a decrease in work that requires surety bonding. The amount of work in backlog that doesn’t require surety bonding increased year over year by approximately 3%. During 2004, IES has completed several large projects that were included in last year’s backlog that have not been replaced with similar sized projects. Additionally, as a result of having fewer larger and longer-term jobs, the average size and duration of IES’ projects have decreased slightly. Bonded projects represented approximately 34% of the September 30, 2004 backlog compared to 40% last year.

 

6


IES has issued performance bonds totaling approximately $62 million during the last 120 days, including $2.3 million in new bonds that did not require additional surety collateral. The fourth amendment to the company’s senior secured credit agreement permits the company, under certain conditions, to utilize the bonded accounts receivables, which were approximately $53 million as of October 31, 2004, for the purpose of obtaining new surety bonds with its current or new surety providers. IES is encouraged by this development and believes that additional surety bond capacity may be possible as a result.

 

CASH FLOW, DEBT AND LIQUIDITY

 

The company generated cash flow from operations of $6.3 million for the fiscal year ended 2004 versus $39.3 million in fiscal 2003. The shortfall in operating cash flows is due to poor performance of units that are in the Planned Divestiture group; posting cash collateral with its surety provider; and legal and accounting costs and expenses related to addressing the previously discussed matters at two business units and obtaining required waivers and amendments from its lenders.

 

As of September 30, 2004, total debt was $230.8 million, excluding $25.8 million in outstanding letters of credit which are compared to the prior year of $248.1 million, excluding $27.4 million in letters of credit, subject to a reimbursement obligation of IES if they are drawn. As of December 14, 2004, IES’ total debt was $241.2 million, excluding letters of credit. Cash and availability on its revolving credit line totaled $76.0 million.

 

Additionally, IES has posted with its surety provider cash collateral of $17.5 million which is subject to refund to IES as long as IES’ surety does not incur costs associated with such bonded projects.

 

Interest expense for 2004 was $23.2 million, or $2.6 million less than the prior year, mainly as a result of a reduction in subordinated debt during 2004.

 

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIODS

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Company determined that the recognition of revenue and costs on certain of its long-term construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and that the accounting for one of its investments warranted revision to the reported results for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2003.

 

7


The revisions to the recognition of revenues and costs on certain construction contracts relate to errors in recording revenues associated with change orders, costs charged to certain contracts, and the estimates of costs to complete on certain contracts. Additionally, the Company determined that one of its investments that was previously accounted for under the cost method of accounting for investments beginning in the year ended September 30, 2002 should have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting for investments. The equity method of accounting for investments requires investors to record their proportionate share of the investees’ profits and losses into their financial statements. The cost method of accounting for investments does not require this treatment. The net effect on net income as a result of these restatements is a $3.0 million reduction for the six months ended March 31, 2004; a $1.0 million reduction for fiscal 2003; and a $1.7 million reduction for fiscal 2002. Included in the above restatement amounts are reductions in net income related to the investment that should have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting for investments of $0.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004; $0.5 million for fiscal 2003; and $1.1 million for fiscal 2002. The total effects of all revisions to reported results for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are reflected in the tables that follow later in this press release.

 

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

 

Effective October 1, 2001, the company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Upon adoption in fiscal 2002, the company recognized a charge of $283.3 million and has performed impairment tests in accordance with SFAS No. 142 each year thereafter. During 2004, the Company performed impairment tests as required by SFAS No. 142 and determined that the carrying value of goodwill had been impaired and required adjustment. The amount of the adjustment was approximately $99.8 million.

 

OUTLOOK

 

IES is not providing specific financial guidance for its current fiscal year or any of the upcoming quarters, including the first fiscal quarter. Other sources of information may exist in the public domain related to various third party forecasts of 2005 commercial and residential construction spending levels. Actual 2005 construction spending in IES’ markets will impact our future results.

 

8


IES plans to complete its previously announced divestiture program during 2005 and reduce debt with the net sales proceeds. Management expects that SG&A spending will be reduced as these units are sold and the professional costs and expenses associated with recent events diminish. Furthermore, IES will work to improve its operating results with a renewed focus on bidding and estimating disciplines, project pricing, cost controls, regular monitoring of projects and execution.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

 

IES has disclosed in this press release EBITDA amounts that are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors as a measure of comparability to peer companies. However, these calculations may vary from company to

company, so IES’ computations may not be comparable to other companies. Management further uses EBITDA to compare the financial performance of its segments and to internally manage those business segments. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is found in the tables below.
