Management Comments and Outlook
Dennis W. Wells, Chief Executive Officer and President,
commented, “Results during our third quarter of fiscal 2017 were
mixed. On the one hand, we made significant progress towards
positioning the company for long-term growth through our
acquisition of Atlas Lighting Products, continued lean initiatives,
and internal investments in new technologies. On the other
hand, growth and profitability were constrained due to continued
inflationary pressures and softer market conditions that impacted
both the Lighting and Graphics segments. During the quarter,
organic revenues increased 1%.
“From an accounting standpoint the quarter was impacted by the
Atlas acquisition, restructuring and plant closure costs,
impairment of an intangible asset, and severance costs.
Excluding these items our adjusted gross margin in the quarter was
24.2% compared to 23.4% a year ago, and adjusted EPS was $0.01
compared to $0.02 last year. Nine-month adjusted EPS was
$0.17 compared to $0.33 a year ago.
“We invite you to review the reconciliation table that appears
in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this press
release.
“Inflationary pressures continued to play a significant role in
the quarter impacting raw materials, labor, healthcare, and freight
costs. While we were able to offset some of the pressure
through a combination of productivity and pricing initiatives, it
was not enough to fully counter the impact. Aggressive
measures are in place to continue to mitigate these inflationary
effects going forward.
“In addition to inflationary pressures, market conditions were
decidedly soft in the quarter. Industry sources have cited
flat to negative growth in lighting during the past couple of
quarters, as well as flat growth in graphics.
“Among the positive developments in the quarter, I am very
pleased to report on early progress following our acquisition of
Atlas Lighting Products. The Atlas team is fully engaged in
the integration and we are continuing to receive positive input
from customers, agents, and distributors. In addition to
top-line synergies that are beginning to materialize, we expect
LSI’s organic business to benefit from sourcing relationships that
Atlas is bringing to the table, which are expected to accelerate
the timetable for margin improvements throughout the Company.
The fit between these two companies could not be better, and I look
forward to reporting on continued progress.
“Internal investments continue to progress. Our SOAR™
Digital Signage program is gaining momentum, bolstered by the trend
to replace static signage as digital versions become more
affordable. We have installed a beta version of our
SmartVision® platform at a petroleum station, and early feedback
has been encouraging. Additionally, Airlink™, our wireless
lighting control system, is garnering interest and orders are
increasing.
“During the third quarter we began to realize savings from the
closing of three facilities during the first half of fiscal
2017. These early indications provide me with confidence that
we will realize an estimated $2.5 million in annual savings going
forward.
“We are cautiously optimistic as we look ahead to the fourth
quarter and beyond. Our caution comes from the uncertainty
that is still lingering in our markets, as well as inflationary
pressures that continue to trend upwards. Nonetheless, our
quote rate is strong, suggestive of pent-up demand in the
marketplace. The LSI Business System is continuing to deliver
results, and we are confident that we will continue to realize
savings as a result of recent plant closures. Lastly, I
expect Atlas to begin to contribute meaningfully to both the top-
and bottom-line as we move forward.
“Our financial position remains strong. During the quarter
we established a $100 million revolving line of credit with our
bank related to the acquisition of Atlas Lighting Products.
Our current debt position was $55.0 million at March 31, 2017, down
17% from $66.0 million on the date of the Atlas transaction.
Our cash position at quarter-end was $4.4 million. We are
continuing to maintain our dividend at a $0.20 annual rate, and
will consider increasing the rate based upon the strength of our
operating results, financial position, and other factors in
upcoming quarters.
“As I have said in the past, we remain committed to achieving
above-market revenue growth and improving margins going
forward. I am confident that much of the internal progress
that we achieved during the quarter will impact our operating
leverage as market conditions improve.

Balance Sheet
The balance sheet at March 31, 2017 included current assets of
$106.9 million, current liabilities of $39.9 million and working
capital of $67.0 million, which includes cash of $4.4
million. The current ratio was 2.7 to 1. The Company
has shareholders’ equity of $159.6 million and $55.0 million of
long-term debt on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2017.
With continued strong cash flow, a sound balance sheet, and $45.0
million available in its credit facility, LSI Industries believes
its financial condition is sound and is capable of supporting the
Company’s planned growth, including acquisitions, if
any.
Cash Dividend Actions
The Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash
dividend of $0.05 per share in connection with the third quarter of
fiscal 2017 payable May 16, 2017 to shareholders of record as of
May 8, 2017. The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $0.20
per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding
dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the
Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of
earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels,
stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities,
and other factors deemed relevant.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes adjustments to GAAP net income and
earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended March
31, 2017 and 2016. Adjusted net income and earnings per
share, which exclude the impact of the impairment of an intangible
asset, acquisition deal costs, fair market value inventory
write-up, restructuring and plant closure costs, and other
severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe
that these are useful as supplemental measures in assessing the
operating performance of our business. These measures are
used by our management, including our chief operating decision
maker, to evaluate business results. We exclude these
non-recurring items because they are not representative of the
ongoing results of operations of our business. Below is a
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the net
income and earnings per share reported for the periods
indicated.
