| Calgon Carbon Announces Second Quarter Results |
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC) announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. The company reported net income and income from continuing operations of $4.5 million or $0.09 per common share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2007, as compared to net income of $2.4 million or $0.06 per common share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2006, and income from continuing operations of $2.1 million or $0.05 per common share on a fully diluted basis for the second quarter of 2006. For the second quarter of 2007, income from operations was $8.6 million versus income of $3.0 million for the comparable period in 2006. For the second quarter of 2006, income from operations included a $4.9-million pre-tax gain from a property insurance settlement for damage at the company's Pearl River plant which was caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Net sales for the second quarter of 2007 were $88.4 million versus second quarter 2006 net sales of $80.5 million, an increase of 9.8%. Currency translation had a $1.8-million positive impact on sales for the second quarter of 2007 due to the stronger Euro and the British Pound Sterling. For the second quarter of 2007, sales for the Activated Carbon and Service segment increased by 10.8% versus the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher pricing and demand for activated carbon/service products in the industrial process and environmental air treatment markets and higher pricing in the potable water market. Equipment sales increased by 12.8% in the second quarter of 2007 versus the second quarter of 2006, due to higher demand for odor control systems. A 16.0% decrease in Consumer sales for the second quarter of 2007 was attributable to lower demand for Preserve(R) products. Net sales less the cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2007 was 32.7% versus 25.5% for the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher pricing on certain carbon and service products. Selling, administrative and research expenses for the second quarter of 2007 decreased 9.6% versus the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to lower legal expenses. For the second quarter of 2007, the company's income tax provision was $3.1 million versus a benefit of $0.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The company recorded its second quarter 2007 tax provision at a 43.7% rate and estimates that its tax rate for the full year will approximate 50%. The company's tax rate is impacted by many factors including tax liabilities in foreign jurisdictions without benefit of a foreign tax credit in the U.S., the expiration of the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion, the recording of tax contingencies for uncertain tax positions and the projection of taxable income by jurisdiction. Equity in income from equity investments was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2007 versus $0.0 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to lower cost of products sold and a favorable mix for products manufactured by the company's joint venture with Mitsubishi Chemical Company in Japan. Calgon Carbon's board of directors did not declare a quarterly dividend. Net income and income from continuing operations for the first half of 2007 was $6.5 million or $0.14 per common share on a fully diluted basis, as compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.03 per common share on a fully diluted basis for the first half of 2006 and a loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million or $0.02 per common share on a fully diluted basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, income from operations was $13.5 million, versus $1.8 million for the first half of 2006. The 2006 income included a $4.9-million pre-tax gain from a property insurance settlement. Commenting on the quarter, John Stanik, Calgon Carbon's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased with second quarter results, as they represent progress in achieving higher prices for our carbon and service products and lower legal expenses, both year-over-year and sequentially. The results also reflect a lower cost structure that resulted from our re- engineering plan. These are key drivers for continued improvement in our company's performance in 2007."
