Schuff International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SHFK), a family
of companies providing fully integrated steel construction
services, today reported financial and operating results for the
first quarter ended April 4, 2010.
Schuff's first quarter 2010 financial results were attributable
to lower commercial construction activity throughout the U.S.,
including Las Vegas, offset by revenues derived from new
industrial, energy and healthcare projects, particularly in the
Gulf Coast and Pacific regions.
First Quarter 2010 Results:
Revenues for the first quarter ended April 4, 2010 were $82.0
million, a decrease of 36.5 percent from year-ago revenues of
$129.2 million.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 15.6 percent for the
first quarter ended April 4, 2010, compared with 22.3 percent for
the first quarter ended April 5, 2009.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.8 million,
down 82.6 percent from $16.0 million in the year-ago quarter.
Operating margin decreased to 3.4 percent from 12.4 percent in the
year-ago period, due primarily to lower revenues earned during the
quarter.
Net income for the quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.16 per
diluted share, versus $9.6 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, a
year ago.
Schuff International’s backlog was $184.1 million ($147.3
million under contracts or purchase orders and $36.8 million under
letters of intent) at April 4, 2010 compared with $220.5 million
($184.5 million under contracts or purchase orders and $36.0
million under letters of intent) at January 3, 2010. Approximately
$59.2 million, representing 32.2% of the company’s backlog at April
4, 2010, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent,
notices to proceed or purchase orders.
“As we expected, the market environment continued to be
challenging in the first quarter of 2010,” said Scott A. Schuff,
president and CEO. “Throughout the organization, our team executed
at a high level to strengthen our financial condition during the
ongoing downturn in commercial construction. Although we don’t
expect to see significant new commercial bid flow for the next
several quarters, we were encouraged by activity in industrial,
energy and healthcare projects in the quarter, particularly in the
Gulf Coast and Pacific regions.
“Despite our current challenges, we continue to be optimistic
about the longer-term prospects for our business. Schuff’s
design-assist capabilities for fast-track projects continue to help
us win new business, and we believe our industry-leading
capabilities will continue to be a competitive advantage as new
projects come on line.
“In addition, we are increasing our business development
efforts, strengthening our alliances with partners and pursuing
work in new markets, including alternative energy projects. Schuff
is also pursuing substantially more public-sector work,” concluded
Schuff.
