Dorel Europe’s juvenile operations being restructured to maintain competitive edge


Montreal, March 12, 2007 — Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A; NASDAQ: DIIB) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 30, 2006. Revenue for the fourth quarter was up 4.1% to US$447.9 million compared to US$430.3 million last year. Net income for the quarter decreased by 3.9% to US$21.7 million, or US$0.66 per diluted share, in 2006 versus US$22.5 million, or US$0.69 per diluted share in 2005. The 2006 results include pre-tax US$4.0 million of restructuring costs incurred in the fourth quarter as Dorel Europe initiated a restructuring related to their production facilities. The fourth quarter of 2005 also included restructuring costs incurred as part of the Ameriwood plant closure initiated in the third quarter of 2005. Therefore, adjusted net income for the quarter, excluding those restructuring costs rose 6.5% to US$24.4 million or US$0.74 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of US$22.9 million or US$0.70 per diluted share in the prior year.  


Full year revenue was US$1.77 billion versus last year’s US$1.76 billion. 2006 net income totalled US$88.9 million or US$2.70 per diluted share, compared to 2005 net earnings of US$91.3 million or US$2.77 per diluted share. Excluding restructuring costs in both years, adjusted net income was US$92.0 million or US$2.80 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of US$97.5 million or US$2.96 per diluted share a year ago.


The Company is including adjusted earnings figures in this press release that are considered non-GAAP financial measures, as it believes this permits more meaningful comparisons of its core business performance between the periods presented. Therefore the terms “adjusted gross margin”, “adjusted earnings from operations”, “adjusted pre-tax income” and “adjusted net income” should be considered as non-GAAP measures. Where applicable the following segmented results exclude restructuring costs and use the term “adjusted” when describing these results. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to GAAP earnings is attached to the end of this press release.




Dorel Europe to reduce costs

In the fourth quarter of 2006, Dorel Europe initiated restructuring activities which will affect the Juvenile Segment. Significant operational changes related to the production facility in Telgate, Italy will be implemented. A similar initiative is in progress regarding the facilities located in Cholet, France. The plan’s objective is to reduce operational costs through strategic sourcing and manufacturing. These restructuring initiatives are expected to be completed by 2008 and result in cumulative restructuring charges totalling between US$11.5 million and US$14.5 million of which US$4.0 million has been recorded in 2006.


 “There has been an important change in the market dynamics of the European juvenile industry,” stated Dorel President and CEO, Martin Schwartz. “There is increasing pressure to lower prices which is requiring the sector to seek alternate, less expensive sources of production. To maintain its competitive edge, Dorel Europe must align its operational costs with this new reality.”

Segmented Information


Juvenile Segment

Fourth quarter revenue increased 13.1% to US$227.5 million from US$201.2 million last year. Adjusted earnings from operations were down 1.1% to US$23.4 million from US$23.7 million. Full year revenue was up 6.4% to US$900.8 million from US$846.9 million in 2005. Adjusted earnings from operations decreased 1.9% to US$97.6 million from last year’s US$99.4 million.

Full year revenues in North America increased by over 5% whereas in Europe the increase was near 8%. Foreign exchange rates in 2006 versus 2005 were not materially different. Therefore the growth was substantially organic. In North America, strong sales of car seats, high chairs as well as health and safety aids were the principal reason for the increase. In Europe, gains were also in the car seat category as well as in strollers, where sales in Northern Europe in Holland, Germany and the United Kingdom led the increases.


Full year adjusted gross margins for the segment were 29.5% as compared to 29.4% in 2005. As a result, the increase in sales generated an additional US$17.2 million in adjusted gross margin dollars versus last year. However, selling, general and administrative costs increased by US$21.0 million over 2005, the majority of this increase for higher product liability costs, therefore more than offsetting these gains.


Home Furnishings Segment

Revenue for the fourth quarter was US$145.3 million, down 2.4% from last year’s US$148.8 million, while adjusted earnings from operations rose 9.0% to US$8.9 million from US$8.2 million in 2005. Total 2006 revenue dropped 4.8% to US$541.9 million versus US$569.3 million the prior year. Adjusted earnings from operations were down 3.9% to US$31.9. million compared to last year’s US$33.2 million.


The fourth quarter of 2006 includes a charge of US$4.5 million for anti-dumping duties imposed upon the Company by the United States Department of Commerce (“DOC”). These duties pertain to certain metal furniture imported from China into the United States that was subject to anti-dumping duties during the period between December 3, 2001 through May 31, 2003.  The Company originally recorded and estimated this liability to be US$2.5 million. However, in December 2006 the DOC liquidated these transactions at a rate that was substantially higher than previously expected by the Company. As such, the Company recorded an expense of US$4.5 million related to the duty on such imports. In relation to this charge the Company has a pending claim against a major international law firm.  That claim relates to a breach of professional duty by the law firm for its failure to timely file a request for an administrative review by the DOC of the duties imposed.


Revenue increases at Cosco Home & Office and Dorel Asia were offset by declines at Ameriwood where ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture sales decreased by 15%. Futon sales were relatively flat with the prior year. Earnings increased at all business units with the exception of the futon operations, which declined US$2.5 million due to lower gross margins, and Cosco Home & Office due to the anti-dumping duty issue described above. Ameriwood’s RTA furniture operations recorded a US$1.9 million improvement in adjusted earnings over last year, partially offsetting the futon decline. This improvement was achieved despite a US$36 million sales decrease. Cosco Home & Office and Dorel Asia combined to account for the balance of the increase in earnings.


Adjusted gross margins for the segment improved to 14.9% in 2006 versus 13.4% in 2005. The principal contributor to this increase were RTA furniture manufacturing improvements. The fourth quarter improvement at Ameriwood was a result of efforts undertaken in early 2006 to streamline manufacturing operations, cut raw material costs, and realign sales efforts directly with manufacturing capabilities.  Earnings grew despite a fourth quarter year-over-year 20% increase in the cost of particleboard.


Recreational/Leisure Segment

Fourth quarter revenue was US$75.2 million, a 6.3% decrease from the previous year’s US$80.2 million. Earnings from operations decreased 11.8% to US$5.7 million from US$6.5 million. Revenue for the year was off 4.7% to US$328.4 million from US$344.7 million while earnings from operations decreased 29.9% to US$24.4 million from US$34.9 million in 2005.


The revenue decline was due to lower sales of bicycles to the mass merchant channel. Partially offsetting these declines were increased sales in the new product categories of swing sets and motor scooters. These two new product lines combined to add an additional US$15 million in sales to the top line in 2006. This segment now generates a greater proportion of its revenue from non-bicycle sales as it continues to develop into a true recreational company as opposed to strictly a bicycle business.


Gross margins decreased by 170 basis points in the year. However, of this amount, 100 basis points were due to a one-time US$3.5 million inventory write-down in the second quarter of 2006. The remainder of the decrease was due to a less favourable product mix.


Dorel to pay dividend for first time

The Board of Directors of Dorel declared a quarterly dividend of twelve and one half cents (US$0.125) per share on the Class A Multiple Voting Shares, Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and Deferred Share Units of the company.  The dividend will be payable on April 23, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2007. This dividend is the first of an expected ongoing quarterly dividend policy paying US$0.50 per share per annum.


Other

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and changes in funds held by ceding insurer, was US$83.4 million in 2006 versus US$71.1 million, an improvement of US$12.3 million. The Company’s effective tax rate in 2006 was 11.4% as compared to 14.6% in 2005. After removing the impact of the restructuring costs in both years, the tax rate for the year was 12.4% versus 16.3% the previous year. The majority of the decline is due to greater earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions.


Outlook

“We have set in motion several initiatives in each of our divisions to improve results. While growth will be modest in 2007, we expect earnings improvements to outpace revenue increases. The Juvenile Segment had another strong year with 6.4% revenue growth, following the 9.1% revenue growth in 2005. Therefore organic revenue growth in 2007 is not expected to be more than in the low single digits. Intensive product development continues both in North America and Europe and new revenue opportunities are always being explored. We are excited about the impact of our Australian acquisition and look forward to leveraging their abilities with ours to create another avenue for growth,” stated Mr. Schwartz.


“Our two other segments are expected to grow more rapidly. The Home Furnishings Segment has seen impressive growth at both Dorel Asia and Cosco Home & Office and we expect that to continue. Ready-to-assemble furniture operations continue to be a focus as we redefine operations at Ameriwood. In 2007, Ameriwood will explore sales opportunities that are best suited to their domestic manufacturing capabilities. We expect to benefit from board prices that have stabilized in the last several months.  Concurrently, Ameriwood will step up efforts to further reduce operational costs. We expect high single digit revenue growth in this segment with a continuing turnaround in earnings.  We are pleased that the Recreational/Leisure business has stabilized and we are seeking additional recreation product platforms. High single digit growth with better margins and increased earnings are expected,” concluded Mr. Schwartz.
