PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- M & F Worldwide
Corp. (NYSE:MFW), today reported results for the fourth quarter and
year ended December 31, 2005. On December 15, 2005, the Company
purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Novar USA Inc. from
Honeywell International, Inc., for $800.0 million in cash, subject
to a post-closing working capital adjustment. Novar USA was, prior
to the acquisition, the parent company of the businesses operated
by Clarke American. Clarke American and its subsidiaries, including
Alcott Routon, Checks in the Mail and B2Direct had revenues of
$607.6 million in 2004. The results of operations for Clarke
American are included from the date of the acquisition. As a result
of the acquisition of Clarke American, the Company has two business
lines, which are operated by Mafco Worldwide and Clarke American.
Mafco Worldwide's business is the production of licorice products
for sale to the tobacco, food, pharmaceutical and confectionery
industries (which is the Company's Licorice Products segment).
Clarke American's business is providing checks, check-related
products and direct marketing services. Clarke American's business
consists of two segments: the Financial Institution segment, which
is focused on financial institution clients and their customers,
and the Direct-to-Consumer segment, which is focused on individual
customers. Revenues for the 2005 fourth quarter were $47.4 million,
as compared to $21.7 million in the prior year quarter. The
Company's revenues increased in the 2005 quarter due to the
inclusion of Clarke American's revenues of $24.1 million for the
period December 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005, as well as an
increase in revenues from the Licorice Products segment of $1.6
million. The increase in revenues from the Licorice Products
segment resulted from higher domestic sales to the international
tobacco industry of $0.5 million and increased domestic sales to
the tobacco industry in the United States of $0.9 million as a
result of major customers returning to historical order patterns
after completing restructuring of operations between domestic and
foreign facilities. Foreign revenues for the Licorice Products
segment increased by $0.2 million due principally to higher volume.
Net income was $5.7 million for the 2005 quarter, compared to $8.6
million for the 2004 quarter. Net income for the 2005 period was
lower compared to 2004 despite the increase in sales in 2005
principally as a result of the reversal of tax reserves in 2004 due
to the favorable resolution of certain prior years' foreign tax
audits. Basic earnings per common share were $0.30 in the 2005
quarter and $0.46 in the 2004 quarter. Diluted earnings per common
share were $0.28 in the 2005 quarter and $0.43 in the 2004 quarter.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $121.4 million,
as compared to $93.4 million in the prior year. The Company's
revenues increased in 2005 due to the inclusion of Clarke
American's revenues of $24.1 million for the period December 15,
2005 to December 31, 2005, as well as an increase in revenues from
the Licorice Products segment of $3.9 million. The increase in
revenues from the Licorice Products segment resulted from higher
domestic sales to the international tobacco industry of $1.3
million and increased domestic sales to the tobacco industry in the
United States of $1.6 million as a result of major customers
returning to historical order patterns after completing
restructuring of operations between domestic and foreign
facilities. Foreign revenues for the Licorice Products segment
increased by $1.1 million due principally to higher volume.
Non-licorice revenues recorded in the Licorice Products segment
decreased $0.1 million. Net income was $24.0 million for the 2005
period compared to $25.2 million for the 2004 period. Net income
for the 2005 period was lower compared to 2004 despite the increase
in sales in 2005 principally as the result of the reversal of tax
reserves due to the favorable resolution of certain prior years'
foreign tax audits. Basic earnings per common share were $1.25 in
the 2005 period and $1.35 in the 2004 period. Diluted earnings per
common share were $1.21 in the 2005 period and $1.26 in the 2004
period. This press release contains forward-looking statements,
