UIC United Indl Corp

HUNT VALLEY, Md., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Industrial Corporation (NYSE:UIC) (the "Company") today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net sales and income from continuing operations include the results of the Company's Defense and Energy segments. The Defense segment, which operates through AAI Corporation ("AAI", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), and its subsidiaries, has four product lines consisting of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ("UAV Systems"), Engineering and Logistics Services ("Services"), Test and Training Systems, and Advanced Programs. The Energy segment is conducted through the Detroit Stoker Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Results from the Company's remaining Transportation operations are reported as discontinued operations. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 28.0% to $126.4 million from $98.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The gross margin percentage for continuing operations decreased to 23.4% in the third quarter of 2005 from 25.1% during the same period in 2004. Increased sales generated by increased Shadow 200(R) Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ("TUAV") logistical support and Services' business, that generate lower gross margin percentages than other sales realized by AAI, primarily caused the decreased margin. Selling and administrative expense increased to $14.3 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the third quarter of 2005 from $12.6 million, or 12.8% of sales, during the same period in 2004. The increase primarily relates to the Company's growth. Operating income increased to $15.0 million, or 11.9% of sales, in the third quarter of 2005 from $12.0 million, or 12.2% of sales, during the same period in 2004. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the decrease in the gross margin percentage. Net interest expense was $694,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to net interest expense of $103,000 during the same period in 2004. The increased net interest expense was primarily a result of the payment of interest to the holders of the Company's $120.0 million 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in September 2004. Net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2005 increased to $9.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, from $7.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, during the same period in 2004. Net income that includes results of both continuing and discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2005 increased to $9.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, from $7.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, during the same period in 2004. Financial Results By Operating Segment for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 - Continuing Operations Net sales for the Defense segment for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 29.6% to $116.8 million from $90.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to greater logistical support related to an increasing number of fielded Shadow 200 TUAV Systems in 2005, increased demand for Advanced Boresight Equipment ("ABE") Systems, the addition of the Biological Detection Systems program awarded in the third quarter of 2004, and the acquisition of ESL. The Defense segment's gross margin percentage decreased to 22.1 % in the third quarter of 2005 from 23.8% during the same period in 2004. Increased sales generated by increased Shadow 200 TUAV logistical support and Services' business, that generate lower gross margin percentages than other sales realized by AAI, primarily caused the decreased margin. Selling and administrative expense in the Defense segment increased to $12.0 million, or 10.3 % of sales, in the third quarter of 2005 from $10.5 million, or 11.6% of sales, during the same period in 2004. The $1.5 million increase was primarily due to $1.3 million higher research and development expense and bid and proposal costs to support the Defense segment's growth, $1.1 million of general and administrative expenses incurred by recently acquired ESL, and $0.6 million of increased legal expenses, partially offset by expense reductions of $1.5 million mostly related to the reorganization of the Defense segment's fluid test system product area. Operating income in the Defense segment increased to $13.7 million, or 11.8% of sales, in the third quarter of 2005 from $10.8 million, or 12.0% of sales, during the same period in 2004. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the decrease in the gross margin percentage. Pre-tax income from the Defense segment increased 25.9% to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $11.0 million during the same period in 2004. Net sales for the Energy segment in the third quarter of 2005 increased 11.8% to $9.6 million, from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2004. The Energy segment's gross margin percentage increased to 39.7% in the third quarter of 2005 from 38.5% during the same period in 2004.

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Net sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 22.1% to $353.9 million from $289.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The increase primarily relates to the Company's growth and restructuring activities. Operating income increased to $39.9 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $35.2 million, or 12.1% of sales, during the same period in 2004. Net interest expense was $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2.2 million from the same period in 2004. The increased net interest expense was primarily a result of the payment of interest to the holders of the Company's $120.0 million 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in September 2004. Income from continuing operations before income taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 29.4% to $45.8 million from $35.4 million during the same period in 2004.

This increase was primarily due to higher production and logistical support related to an increasing number of fielded Shadow 200 TUAV Systems, increased demand for ABE Systems, the Biological Detection System Program that was awarded in the third quarter of 2004, and the acquisition of ESL. The gross margin percentage for the Defense segment increased to 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 23.0% during the same period in 2004. Selling and administrative expenses in the Defense segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $38.6 million, or 11.7% of sales, from $28.3 million, or 10.6% of sales, during the same period in 2004. The $10.3 million increase was primarily due to $4.7 million for higher research and development expenses and bid and proposal costs to support the Defense segment's growth, $1.9 million of restructuring charges to reorganize the Defense segment's fluid test systems product area, $1.7 million of general and administrative fees incurred by the recently acquired ESL, $1.4 million of higher legal expenses, and other expenses of $0.6 million.

United Industrial Corporation designs, produces, and supports defense systems. Its products and services include unmanned aerial vehicle systems, training and simulation systems, automated aircraft test and maintenance equipment, armament systems, logistical and engineering services, and other leading-edge technology solutions for defense needs. The company also manufactures combustion equipment for biomass and refuse fuels. Use of Non-GAAP Measures In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), management believes that providing Income from Continuing Operations Before Special Items, a non-GAAP measure, is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company. Special items include significant charges or credits that are important to understanding the Company's ongoing operations. The Company also discloses EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), which is likewise a non-GAAP measure. In addition, the Company discloses Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, which equals net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in acquiring property and equipment, net of retirements. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is used by some investors, analysts, lenders and other parties to measure the Company's performance over time. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to understanding the Company's ability to meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to better assess and understand operating performance, and allows investors, analysts, lenders and other parties to better evaluate the Company's financial performance and prospects in the same manner as management if they so choose. Because the Company's methods for calculating such non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies' methods, such non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Such measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, and the Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Reconciliations from non-GAAP reported measures described in this press release to GAAP reported results are provided in the financial tables attached to this document.

United Industrial Corporation & Subsidiaries Consolidated Earnings Per Share (Unaudited) Basic earnings per share for all periods presented was computed by dividing net earnings for the respective period by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's par value $1.00 per share common stock ("Common Stock") outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing (i) net earnings during the period, adjusted to add back the after-tax interest charges incurred on the Company's $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2024, by (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to add the weighted-average number of potential dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for Common Stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts were computed as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 2004 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Per Per Earnings Shares Share Earnings Shares Share Basic Earnings Per Share Income from continuing operations $9,314 11,652,025 $0.80 $7,744 12,810,916 $0.60 Effect of Dilutive Securities Stock Options -- 286,421 -- 487,288 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes 855 3,058,356 148 498,645 Diluted Earnings Per Share Income from continuing operations $10,169 14,996,802 $0.68 $7,892 13,796,849 $0.57 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 2004 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Per Per Earnings Shares Share Earnings Shares Share Basic Earnings Per Share Income from continuing operations $30,239 12,012,831 $2.52 $22,789 12,958,288 $1.76 Effect of Dilutive Securities Stock Options -- 272,127 -- 363,841 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes 2,449 3,058,356 148 167,428 Diluted Earnings Per Share Income from continuing operations $32,688 15,343,314 $2.13 $22,937 13,489,557 $1.70 United Industrial Corporation & Subsidiaries Consolidated Earnings Per Share (Unaudited) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2005 2004 2005 2004 Basic earnings (loss) per share: Income from continuing operations before special items $0.81 $0.60 $2.25 $1.76 Special items: Restructuring charges (0.01) -
