\nInsteel Industries Inc. (NYSE: IIIN) (\u201cInsteel\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the largest manufacturer of steel wire reinforcing products for concrete construction applications in the United States, today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025, ended December 28, 2024.<\/p>\n
First Quarter 2025 Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n First Quarter 2025 Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nNet earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 remained unchanged from the prior year at $1.1 million or $0.06 per share. Results for the current quarter include $1.0 million in restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, which collectively reduced net earnings per share by $0.04. Insteel\u2019s first quarter results benefited from higher spreads between selling prices and raw material costs, as well as an improvement in demand for the Company\u2019s concrete reinforcement products which were partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expense.<\/p>\n \nNet sales increased 6.6% to $129.7 million from $121.7 million in the prior year quarter, driven by an 11.4% increase in shipments partially offset by a 4.3% decline in average selling prices. Shipments for the current quarter benefited from favorable demand trends in our infrastructure and commercial construction markets, as well as the incremental volume generated from our two recent acquisitions. On a sequential basis, shipments decreased 4.5% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, reflecting the usual seasonal slowdown, while average selling prices increased 1.1%. Gross margin expanded by 210 basis points to 7.3%, from 5.2% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a combination of wider spreads between selling prices and raw material costs and higher shipment volume. Contributions from the acquisitions made during the quarter were nil due to purchase accounting conventions and weak seasonality.<\/p>\n \nOperating activities generated $19.0 million of cash during the quarter compared to $21.8 million in the prior year quarter, as both periods benefited from the relative changes in working capital. Working capital provided $12.3 million in the current quarter, driven by the reduction in inventories and receivables, while providing $16.3 million in the prior year quarter.<\/p>\n Capital Allocation and Liquidity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nCapital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to $2.7 million from $12.3 million in the prior year quarter. Capital outlays for fiscal 2025 are expected to total up to approximately $22.0 million, primarily focused on cost and productivity improvement initiatives as well as recurring maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n \nOn December 13, 2024, Insteel paid a special cash dividend totaling $19.4 million, or $1.00 per share, in addition to its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share and ended the quarter with $36.0 million of cash and no borrowings outstanding on its $100.0 million revolving credit facility.<\/p>\n Acquisitions of Engineered Wire Products, Inc and O\u2019Brien Wire Products of Texas, Inc.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nAs previously announced, on October 21, 2024, Insteel, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Insteel Wire Products Company (\u201cIWP\u201d), acquired Engineered Wire Products, Inc. (\u201cEWP\u201d) for an adjusted purchase price of $67.0 million in an asset transaction. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Insteel acquired, among other assets, EWP\u2019s inventories and production equipment and EWP\u2019s Upper Sandusky, Ohio and Warren, Ohio production facilities. EWP was a leading manufacturer of welded wire reinforcement products for use in nonresidential and residential construction. The transaction was funded from cash on hand. Subsequent to closing the transaction, the Warren, Ohio facility was closed and its orders were distributed to logical Insteel legacy facilities.<\/p>\n \nOn November 26, 2024, Insteel, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, IWP, acquired O\u2019Brien Wire Products of Texas, Inc. (\u201cOWP\u201d) for an adjusted purchase price of $5.1 million in an asset transaction. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Insteel acquired certain inventories and all of OWP\u2019s production equipment. OWP was a manufacturer of welded wire reinforcement products for use in nonresidential and residential construction located in Houston, Texas. The transaction was funded from cash on hand.<\/p>\n \nDuring the quarter, Insteel incurred $0.7 million of restructuring charges related to the consolidation of the Company\u2019s welded wire manufacturing operations and $0.3 million of acquisition costs for legal, accounting and other professional fees associated with the recent acquisitions.<\/p>\n Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are encouraged by recovering order activity we experienced during the first quarter, which is typically seasonally weak,\u201d said H.O. Woltz III, Insteel\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cThe improved start to the year, together with increasing contributions from our recent acquisitions, positions us well as we move into the balance of fiscal 2025. While we are optimistic that our markets will recover during 2025, we continue to face the headwinds of low-priced PC strand imports entering the U.S. market. We are addressing this issue with both the Biden Administration and the incoming Trump Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n \nMr. Woltz added, \u201cOnce again, our people did a remarkable job of integrating the acquisitions we completed during the first fiscal quarter. Within two weeks of closing, the legacy systems of the acquired companies were disabled and Insteel systems were up and running. While systems training will be ongoing, integration risk is substantially behind us, and we are well underway in capturing the significant cost reduction synergies that are available. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2025, we are focused on optimizing operations, taking advantage of emerging opportunities in our markets, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n Conference Call<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nInsteel will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET today to discuss its first quarter financial results. A live webcast of this call can be accessed on Insteel\u2019s website at https:\/\/investor.insteel.com<\/a> and will be archived for replay.<\/p>\n About Insteel<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nInsteel is the nation\u2019s largest manufacturer of steel wire reinforcing products for concrete construction applications.
