CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, we direct your attention to Part I, Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk; and Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in global economic conditions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Currency Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

 

(unaudited)

 

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The information included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation (“DMC”) and its controlled subsidiaries.  Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated.  The equity method is used to account for our ownership in subsidiaries where we do not have a controlling interest.  Currently, we have controlling interests in all of our subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Foreign Operations and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

 

The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period.  Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.

 

In September 2010, our German subsidiary, DYNAenergetics, entered into a currency swap agreement with its bank to economically hedge the currency risk associated with a large U.S. dollar order ($2,700) that was awarded to it.  Under the agreement, DYNAenergetics exchanged $2,700 for Euros at an exchange rate of 1.269 U.S. dollars per Euros between January 18, 2011 and April 30, 2011.  We did not designate this derivative as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and as such, gains and losses related to changes in its valuation were recorded in the

statement of operations.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a gain on this currency swap agreement of $37 and $87, respectively.  The gain is classified as other income (expense), net in our statement of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of clad metal products and welding services are generally based upon customer specifications set forth in customer purchase orders and require us to provide certifications relative to metals used, services performed, and the results of any non-destructive testing that the customer has requested be performed.  All issues of conformity of the product to specifications are resolved before the product is shipped and billed.  Products related to the oilfield products segment, which include detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters, and shaped charges, as well as, seismic related explosives and accessories, are standard in nature.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when all four of the following criteria have been satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; delivery has occurred; and collection is reasonably assured.  For contracts that require multiple shipments, revenue is recorded only for the units included in each individual shipment.  If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a probable loss, we will account for such anticipated loss.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and payable, and accrued expenses are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in our LIBOR/EURIBOR basis borrowing spread would increase the fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2011 by less than 2%.  The majority of our debt was incurred in connection with the 2007 acquisition of DYNAenergetics.

 

Additionally, we had a foreign currency hedge agreement that we entered in September 2010 (see above), which was recorded at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

 

·                       Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.

 

·                       Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

·                       Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

Our foreign currency hedge agreement, which expired on April 30, 2011, was not exchange listed and was therefore valued with models that use Level 2 inputs.  At December 31, 2010, the fair value of the foreign currency hedge was $118 and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other on the balance sheet.

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to favorable foreign permanent differences and differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 19% to 33%) on earnings that have been permanently reinvested.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) and require the use of the two class method for calculating EPS.  Under this method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendment should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We do not anticipate a material impact from this update.

3.      ACQUISITIONS

 

Austin Explosives

 

On June 4, 2010, we completed our acquisition of Austin Explosives Company (“AECO”), which is now operating under the name DYNAenergetics US, Inc.  This business is part of our Oilfield Products business segment.  AECO had been a long-time distributor of DYNAenergetics shaped charges.  This acquisition, along with the acquisition of the outstanding interests in our Russian joint ventures (discussed below), further expands our Oilfield Products business, and positions the segment to capitalize on the long-term demand from the oil and gas industry.

 

The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase valued at $6,921 which was financed by (i) the payment of $3,620 (of which $3,544 was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010) in cash and (ii) the issuance of 222,445 shares of DMC common stock (valued at $3,301).

 

The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their fair values as determined by appraisals performed as of the acquisition date.  The allocation of the purchase price to the assets of AECO was as follows:

We acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of AECO.  The finite-lived intangible assets acquired were classified as customer relationships, were valued at $4,773, and are being amortized over 11 years.  These amounts are included in Purchased Intangible Assets and are further discussed in Note 7.

 

Russian Joint Ventures

 

On April 30, 2010, we purchased the outstanding non-controlling interests in our two Russian joint ventures that were previously majority-owned by our Oilfield Products business segment.  These joint ventures include DYNAenergetics RUS, which is a Russian trading company that sells our oilfield products, and Perfoline, which is a Russian manufacturer of perforating gun systems.  We paid a combined $2,065 for the respective 45% and 34.81% outstanding stakes in DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline.              Prior to the acquisition date, we accounted for our 55% and 65.19% interest in DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline, respectively, as equity-method investments (see Note 4).

4.                   INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

 

As discussed in Note 3, on April 30, 2010 we acquired the remaining non-controlling interests in two joint ventures that were previously majority-owned by our Oilfield Products business segment.  Prior to the April 30, 2010 step acquisition, these investments, which include DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline, were accounted for under the equity method due to certain non-controlling interest veto rights that allowed the non-controlling interest shareholders to participate in the ordinary course of business decisions. Operating results from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 include our proportionate share of income from these unconsolidated joint ventures and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 our results include equity in earnings of joint ventures of $86 and $255, respectively.  As a result of the step acquisition, we now consolidate the financial statements of these entities.

 

Summarized unaudited financial information for the joint ventures accounted for under the equity method for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

Loan Covenants and Restrictions

 

Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the incurrence of additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; limits on capital expenditures; and maintenance of specified financial ratios.  On February 2, 2011, our credit facility was amended, retroactive to December 31, 2010, to revise the leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios that we are required to satisfy on a quarterly basis throughout the remaining term of the credit facility.  These revised ratios will ease our ability to comply with certain covenants of the credit agreement.  As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

 

10.            BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

Our business is organized in the following three segments:  Explosive Metalworking, Oilfield Products, and AMK Welding. The Explosive Metalworking segment uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis of industrial diamonds. The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and transition joints for various industries, including upstream oil and gas, oil refinery, petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  The Oilfield Products segment manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories.  AMK Welding utilizes a number of welding technologies to weld components for manufacturers of jet engine and ground-based turbines.

 

The accounting policies of all the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Our reportable segments are separately managed strategic

business units that offer different products and services. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.

 

Beginning in 2011, we changed our methodology of allocating corporate overhead to our business segments.  In connection with this change we no longer allocate certain corporate expenses that do not directly benefit our business segments.  The business segment disclosure for the three months and six ended June 30, 2010 presented below reflects our new allocation methodology.

ITEM 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts in this discussion are presented in thousands (000’s).

 

Executive Overview

 

Our business is organized into three segments:  Explosive Metalworking (which we also refer to as DMC Clad), Oilfield Products and AMK Welding.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Explosive Metalworking accounted for 62% of our net sales and 69% of our income from operations before consideration of unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense, which is not allocated to our business segments.  Our Oilfield Products and AMK Welding segments accounted for 33% and 5%, respectively, of our first half 2011 net sales, and 20% and 11%, respectively, of our income from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense.

 

Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $31,125, or 45.4%, compared to the same period of 2010.  The year-to-year consolidated net sales increase reflects a sales increase of $13,830 (28.8%) for our Explosive Metalworking segment and sales increases of $17,113 (109.3%) for our Oilfield Products segment and $182 (3.7%) for AMK Welding.  Excluding incremental sales of $5,743 from the acquisition of Austin Explosives on June 4, 2010 and the step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures that was completed on April 30, 2010, our Oilfield Products segment reported an increase of $11,370 or 72.6% from its first half 2010 net sales.  Our consolidated income from operations increased to $7,393 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,331 in the same period of 2010.  This $5,062 increase reflects increases of $2,835, $2,409 and $45 in the operating income reported by our Explosive Metalworking, Oilfield Products and AMK Welding segments, respectively, and a decrease in stock-based compensation of $39 which were partially offset by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $266.  Reported consolidated operating income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes amortization expense of $2,876 and $2,537, respectively, relating to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions of DYNAenergetics, DYNAenergetics Canada, DYNAenergetics US, and the Russian joint ventures.  We reported net income of $4,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2,625 for the same period of 2010.

 

Impact of Current Economic Situation on the Company

 

We were only minimally impacted in 2008 by the global economic slowdown.  However, during 2009 and 2010, we experienced a significant slowdown in Explosive Metalworking sales to some of the markets we serve.  The explosion-welded clad plate market is dependent upon sales of products for use by customers in a number of heavy industries, including oil and gas, alternative energy, chemicals and petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, and industrial refrigeration.  These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and the current worldwide economic downturn has affected many of these markets.  Despite the slowdown we have seen in certain sectors, including chemical, petrochemical and hydrometallurgy, quoting activity in other end markets remains healthy, and we continue to track an extensive list of projects. While timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict, we believe that our Explosive Metalworking segment is well-positioned to benefit as global economic conditions improve.

Our Explosive Metalworking backlog, which totaled $97,247 at the end of 2008 before this business segment began to see a significant decline in booking activity, decreased to $41,154 at September 30, 2010 before rebounding to $56,539 at December 31, 2010 on strong fourth quarter 2010 booking activity and then decreasing slightly to $54,026 at June 30, 2011.  Based upon our June 30, 2011 Explosive Metalworking backlog and expected year over year increases in 2011 sales for both our Oilfield and AMK Welding business segments, we believe that our 2011 consolidated net sales could increase by 28% to 30% from the $154,739 in consolidated net sales that we reported in 2010.

 

Net sales

 

Explosive Metalworking’s revenues are generated principally from sales of clad metal plates and sales of transition joints, which are made from clad plates, to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  While a large portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by new plant construction and large plant expansion projects, maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand.

 

Oilfield Products’ revenues are generated principally from sales of shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, and bidirectional boosters and perforating guns to customers who perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and from sales of seismic products to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities.

 

AMK Welding’s revenues are generated from welding, heat treatment, and inspection services that are provided with respect to customer-supplied parts for customers primarily involved in the power generation industry and aircraft engine markets.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers; therefore, the failure to complete existing contracts on a timely basis, to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. We attempt to minimize the risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing aggressively on the basis of price.

 

Gross profit and cost of products sold

 

Cost of products sold for Explosive Metalworking includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

 

Cost of products sold for Oilfield Products includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

 

AMK Welding’s cost of products sold consists principally of employee compensation and benefits, welding supplies (wire and gas), depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, outside services and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Income taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 25.4% for the first half of 2011 from 11.7% for first half of 2010 and 17.7% for the full year 2010.  Income tax provisions on the earnings of Nobelclad, Nitro Metall, Dynaplat, DYNAenergetics, DYNAenergetics Canada, DYNAenergetics RUS, Perfoline, and our German and Luxembourg holding companies have been provided based upon the respective French, Swedish, German, Canadian, Russian and Luxembourg statutory tax rates for the applicable years.  Going forward, based upon existing tax regulations and current federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates, we expect our blended effective tax rate on our projected consolidated pre-tax income to range between 26% and 28% in 2011 before returning to normalized level of 28% to 30% in subsequent years.

 

Backlog

 

We use backlog as a primary means of measuring the immediate outlook for our Explosive Metalworking business.  We define “backlog” at any given point in time as consisting of all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time.  Generally speaking, we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months.  From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized.

 

Our backlog with respect to the Explosive Metalworking segment decreased to $54,026 at June 30, 2011 from $56,539 at December 31, 2010 and $58,530 at March 31, 2011. This backlog decrease reflects an increase in Explosive Metalworking sales to $35,751 in the second quarter of 2011 from $26,074 in this year’s first quarter.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 increased 41.6% to $54,165 from $38,258 for the second quarter of 2010.  Explosive Metalworking sales increased 33.9% to $35,751 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (66% of total sales) from $26,690 for the same period of 2010 (70% of total sales).  This $9,061 sales increase follows an increase in the Explosive Metalworking backlog from $51,417 at March 31, 2010 to $58,530 at March 31, 2011 and reflects more than $11 million in second quarter export shipments from our U.S. facility on two large orders that were booked in December of 2010.  The decrease in Explosive Metalworking’s proportionate contribution to consolidated net sales is principally attributable to incremental 2011 sales for our Oilfield Products segment that resulted from 2010 acquisitions as further discussed below.

 

Oilfield Products contributed $15,717 to second quarter 2011 sales (29% of total sales), which represents an 81.6% increase from sales of $8,654 for the second quarter of 2010 (23% of total sales). Excluding incremental sales of $2,234 from our acquisition of Austin Explosives and step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures, the second quarter 2011 sales increase for Oilfield

Products was $4,829 or 55.8%.  This significant increase in sales reflects a substantial increase in global oil and gas drilling activities, particularly in North America.

 

AMK Welding contributed $2,697 to second quarter 2011 sales (5% of total sales), compared to sales of $2,914 for the second quarter of 2010 (7% of total sales), a decrease of 7.4%.

 

Our consolidated net sales for the first half of 2011 increased 45.4% to $99,740 from $68,615 in the first half of 2010.  Explosive Metalworking sales increased 28.8% to $61,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (62% of total sales) from $47,996 for the same period of 2010 (70% of total sales).  This sales increase reflects a modest strengthening of demand in our Explosive Metalworking business and more than $11 million in second quarter shipments on two large orders as discussed above.

 

Oilfield Products contributed $32,773 to first half 2011 sales (33% of total sales), which represents a 109.3% increase from sales of $15,660 for the first half of 2010 (23% of total sales). Excluding incremental sales of $5,743 from our acquisition of Austin Explosives and step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures, the first half 2011 sales increase for Oilfield Products was $11,370 or 72.6%.  As discussed above, this significant sales increase reflects a substantial increase in global oil and gas drilling activities, particularly in North America.

 

AMK Welding contributed $5,141 to first half 2011 sales (5% of total sales), which represents a 3.7% increase from sales of $4,959 in the first half of 2010 (7% of total sales).

Gross profit increased by 67.1% to $15,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $9,258 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our second quarter 2011 consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 28.6% from the 24.2% gross margin that we reported for the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit increased by 58.7% to $25,776 from $16,242 for the same period of 2010.  Our year to date consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 25.8% from 23.7% for the first six months of 2010.

 

The gross profit margin for Explosive Metalworking increased from 19.7% in the second quarter of 2010 to 25.2% in the second quarter of 2011.  The increase in the second quarter 2011 gross profit margin rate for our Explosive Metalworking segment relates principally to favorable changes in product mix as compared to the second quarter of 2010 and a somewhat improved pricing environment compared to the extremely competitive pricing environment that existed throughout 2010.  Our gross profit margin for the Explosive Metalworking segment increased to 21.8% for the first six months of 2011 from 20.7% for the same period in 2010.  As has been the case historically, we expect to see continued fluctuations in Explosive Metalworking’s quarterly gross margin rates in the future that result from fluctuations in quarterly sales volume and change in product mix.

Table of Contents

 

Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 35.7% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a gross profit margin of 34.7% in the second quarter of 2010.  Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 32.8% for the first half of 2011 compared to a gross profit margin of 31.5% for the first half of 2010.  The increase in Oilfield Products’ gross margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 relates principally to the significant sales increase discussed above and the additional margin resulting from sales of former distributors in the U.S. and Russia that were acquired during the second quarter of 2010 as these acquired entities sold products through to the end customers.

 

The gross profit margin for AMK Welding decreased to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2011 from 37.4% in the second quarter of 2010.  The gross profit margin for AMK Welding increased to 32.2% in the first six months of 2011 from 31.3% in the first six months of 2010.  The second quarter decrease and year-to-date increase in AMK Welding’s reported gross margins relates principally to differences in the rate at which AMK Welding absorbed its fixed manufacturing overhead costs based on the sales fluctuations discussed above.

 

Based upon the expected contribution to 2011 consolidated net sales by each of our three business segments, we expect our consolidated full year 2011 gross margin to be in a range of 26% to 28%.
