Sun Hydraulics generated net sales of $54.4 million in first-quarter 2015, down 4.3% year over year and marginally below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $55 million.
The year-over-year decline was due to a 9% fall in both the European and Asian sales, partially offset by 1% gain in North America. Also, adverse impact of foreign currency movements lowered revenues by $1.5 million.
Margins
Sun Hydraulics’ cost of sales inched up 0.8% year over year, representing 60.7% of total revenue as against 57.6% in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin declined 310 basis points (bps) year over year to 39.3%. Selling, engineering and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of revenues, stood at 13.4% versus 12.9% recorded in the year-ago quarter.
Operating income declined 15.7% year over year to $14.1 million; while margin came in at 25.9% versus 29.4% in the year-ago comparable quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Exiting first-quarter 2015, Sun Hydraulics had cash and cash equivalents of $62.4 million, up compared with $56.8 million in the preceding quarter.
In the quarter, the company generated cash of $14 million from its operating activities, up from $10.1 million in the year-ago comparable quarter. Capital spending dropped 31.9% year over year to $1.3 million.
Sun Hydraulics paid dividends of approximately $2.4 million to its shareholders in the quarter.
Outlook: Sun Hydraulics anticipates difficult operating conditions to persist in the second quarter as well. Revenues are predicted at roughly $54 million, down 12% year over year and 2% sequentially. Earnings are expected within 34−36 cents per share, lower than 46 cents earned in the year-ago quarter.
Unfavorable foreign currency movements will likely impact revenues by $2.4 million and earnings by 6 cents per share.
With a market capitalization of $1 billion, Sun Hydraulics currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks in the industry include RBC Bearings Inc. ROLL, II-VI Inc. IIVI and Capstone Turbine Corp. CPST. While both RBC Bearings and II-VI sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Capstone Turbine carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
