* All subsequent numbers in parentheses refer to the comparative figures for the period last year.
Hexagon Composites' operating results improved compared to the third quarter of the previous year driven by continued growth in the low pressure cylinder market. Positive developments were partly offset by lower deliveries of fuel cylinders to the heavy duty truck segment in North America. The Gas Distribution business continued to deliver solid results despite some delays in deliveries.
Operating income increased 3% in the third quarter to NOK 349.3 (339.3) million. Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) grew 33% to NOK 75.1 (56.4) million. Operating profit (EBIT) increased 36% to NOK 55.5 (40.7) million and profit before tax from continuing operations grew 70% to NOK 59.7 (35.1) million.
Key developments
- Continued strong Group margins according to targets
- Very good utilization rates in the Low Pressure Cylinders segment
- Strong Gas Distribution Products order book and increasing order intake from Heavy Duty segment
- After the end of the quarter, Hexagon Lincoln acquired MasterWorks securing key technology and enhanced engineering capacity within the High Pressure Cylinder segment.
SEGMENT RESULTS
HIGH-PRESSURE CYLINDERS CNG AND CHG
HEXAGON LINCOLN AND HEXAGON RAUFOSS
Hexagon Composites is the global market leader in high-pressure composite cylinders for compressed natural gas (CNG) and compressed hydrogen gas (CHG).
Turnover and markets
Operating income for the High Pressure segment declined 20% to NOK 218.4 (274.4) million in the third quarter of 2014 compared with record operating income in the previous year. Developments were impacted by lower deliveries of fuel cylinders and systems for heavy duty vehicles in North America and light duty vehicles and bus systems in the rest of the world.
Sales volume in the heavy duty truck and transit bus markets in North America weakened somewhat following lower sales of natural gas engines in this market. Underlying fundamentals, however, remain positive. Order flow is increasing with strong backlog for the coming quarter. The European bus market also softened in the quarter, however, orders for the following quarter are relatively stronger.
Sales for Gas Distribution Products, TITAN™ and SMARTSTORE™, remained satisfactory for the quarter with a strong order backlog for delivery in the following two quarters. Significant growth opportunities are expected to continue, particularly within the North American shale oil and gas industries including flare gas recovery. Market developments in South America remain positive.
Orders for the passenger vehicle market in Europe declined in the third quarter, and are expected to continue to be weak for the rest of the year after relatively strong developments in the first half of the year. However, significant orders have been secured for new OEM platforms with start of production in 2017.
Production
Ramp-up of the phase 1 TUFFSHELLTM capacity expansion continued during the quarter. Increased volumes were primarily targeted towards meeting supply agreements relating to the new Agility Hexagon joint venture agreement.
Ramp-up to optimal utilization of phase 2 of the expansion program comprised of leading, automated technology, is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. Capacity is expected to be sufficient to cover market developments throughout 2015.
Profit/loss
EBIT for the High Pressure segment declined 31% to NOK 30.0 (43.7) million compared with the third quarter of the previous year, influenced by the factors discussed above.
Key developments
On 10 October 2014 Hexagon Lincoln completed the acquisition of the main assets of MasterWorks comprised of MasterWorks Machining, MasterWorks Composite Solutions and Helman Tensioners. The agreed transaction value was USD 1.7 million.
MasterWorks and Helman Tensioners specialize in providing innovative design and manufacturing solutions for the composites industry. The acquisition enhances the Group's technology leadership and manufacturing robustness reinforcing the Group's position as the global leader in the industry, and will provide additional capabilities for further expansions.
LOW-PRESSURE CYLINDERS LPG
HEXAGON RAGASCO
Hexagon Composites is the global market leader in composite cylinders for propane (LPG).
Turnover and markets
In the third quarter, operating income for the Low Pressure Cylinders segment increased 97% to NOK 132.7 (67.5) million, primarily reflecting increased sales to the Middle East.
Profit/loss
EBIT for the Low Pressure segment increased to NOK 33.6 (4.4) million in the third quarter.
Production
Capacity utilization was very high in the third quarter due to longorder production runs and the continued focus on productivity improvement measures.
THE GROUP
Hexagon Composites ASA had net profit after tax for continuing operations of NOK 41.7 (22.8) million in the third quarter including positive foreign exchange effects amounting to NOK 12 million.
Total assets amounted to NOK 1,009.1 (1,126.5) million at the end of the third quarter. The Group's equity ratio was 42.5% (29.9%) and the liquidity reserve amounted to NOK 513.6 (475.5) million.
The Board is satisfied with the overall margin developments and profit growth despite the lower operating income within High Pressure Cylinders. Market developments within the Gas Distribution Products segment continue to provide exciting opportunities, together with market growth outside Europe for Low Pressure Cylinders.
AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE
There have not been any material events after the balance sheet date. The acquisition of MasterWorks will not influence the results or financial position significantly.
OUTLOOK
The Board expects the Group to maintain its margin performance throughout the year and looks forward to continued overall positive business and market development.
Key focus areas include:
- Continued development of the Gas distribution products market opportunities
- Investing in business development for the next growth phase within Low pressure cylinders
- Increasing investment in product innovation to maintain the Company's competitive advantage
Sales volume in the US heavy duty truck market is expected to improve in the fourth quarter. Market fundamentals remain favorable and the Board's long term positive outlook is unchanged. The cost advantage of natural gas, which is driving the adoption of gas powered engines remains healthy despite recent declines in oil prices. The adoption of heavy duty natural gas vehicles continues to be forecast to increase significantly in the timeframe to 2020 driven by delivering the lowest total cost per mile travelled to the operator and customer. The momentum of the predicted growth is influenced by the level of up-front natural gas conversion cost, growth in fuelling infrastructure, expansion of engine offerings and increased operating experience.
