"We are pleased with our results for the second quarter and first half of 2012. Revenues increased 10% versus a year ago driven by strong deliveries to the mining sector and record levels for product support," said
Highlights:
--Equipment Group revenues set a new second quarter record of$334 million , up 16% from 2011 on higher new and used equipment sales and product support. Operating income was also a record at$33.8 million , up 15% in the quarter compared to 2011 on the higher revenues. -- For the first half of 2012,Equipment Group revenues were a record$580 million , up 14% from 2011 on higher new and used equipment sales and product support. Operating income was also a record at$56.7 million , up 18% year-over-year on the higher revenues and improved gross margins. --Equipment Group bookings of$195 million in the second quarter were 26% higher than the second quarter of 2011. Bookings in the year-to-date were 21% higher than the prior year. Mining and power systems reported strong activity levels in the quarter.Equipment Group backlogs were$260 million atJune 30, 2012 compared to$224 million atDecember 31, 2011 and$280 million at this time last year. --CIMCO revenues were$45 million in the quarter and$81 million for the first half of 2012, down 18% and 16% respectively from the comparable periods last year. The decline in recreational package sales revenues was expected given the end of the Recreational Infrastructure Canada stimulus program which contributed to 2011 results. Operating income decreased 36% in the quarter and 37% year-to-date on the lower revenues. --CIMCO bookings were a record for a second quarter at$42 million , up 72% from the similar period last year, on strong industrial orders. Bookings in the first six months of 2012 were also a record$117 million on a large order from Maple Leaf Foods for their announced facilities expansion program. Backlogs were a record$126 million atJune 30, 2012 . -- Net earnings from continuing operations were$25.7 million in the quarter,$0.34 per share basic, up 8% and 10% respectively from last year on higher revenues. Net earnings from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2011 were$136.0 million ($1.77 per share basic) and included a net gain of$133 million on the spinoff of Enerflex. -- Total debt net of cash to total capitalization increased to 34%, within stated capital targets, versus 13% at year-end and 24% a year ago. Increased debt levels are substantially due to an increased investment in working capital.
-- During the quarter, the Company purchased and cancelled 528,438 shares
under its normal course issuer bid. Total cost for the shares purchased
was $11.2 million (average cost of $21.22 per share).
-- The regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per common share was paid on
July 2, 2012 . The Company has paid dividends every year since going
public in 1968.
-- Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Toromont entered into an agreement
with Caterpillar to secure the assets associated with the former Bucyrus
distribution network. Under this agreement, Toromont will pay US $18
million inclusive of working capital of $4.5 million . The transaction is
expected to close on August 1, 2012 . The addition of the Bucyrus
products will strengthen our mining offering for surface and
underground.
"We have leading market positions, healthy backlogs and momentum in product support," continued
