RIVERSIDE, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fleetwood
Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:FLE), one of the nation's leading producers
of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing, announced today
its earnings for the fiscal 2006 third quarter and first nine
months ended January 29, 2006. Consolidated revenues for the
quarter were $583.9 million, up 15 percent from $509.2 million in
last year's third quarter. Income from continuing operations
totaled $4.7 million or $0.08 per diluted share compared to a loss
from continuing operations of $44.5 million or $0.80 per diluted
share in the third quarter of the prior year. Net income, which
included discontinued operations, was $1.4 million or $0.02 per
diluted share compared to a net loss of $54.7 million or $0.99 per
diluted share in last year's third quarter. "We are very pleased to
report positive results in a quarter that is typically seasonally
weak," said Elden L. Smith, Fleetwood's president and chief
executive officer. "Our financial improvement was largely due to
orders related to disaster relief and, to a lesser extent, the
benefits of our ongoing operational and organizational changes."
For the first nine months of fiscal 2006, consolidated revenues
edged up 1 percent to $1.83 billion compared with $1.81 billion for
the same period last year. The loss from continuing operations for
the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $8.9 million or $0.15 per
diluted share compared with a loss of $16.7 million or $0.30 per
diluted share in the same period of fiscal 2005. The net loss in
the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $30.1 million or $0.52 per
diluted share compared with a net loss of $41.0 million, or $0.74
per diluted share for the same period last year. Substantially all
of the Company's manufactured housing retail business was sold in
the second quarter of the current fiscal year. The prior year third
quarter consolidated revenues excluded $29.9 million in
intercompany sales of manufactured homes to the Company's former
retail stores, while the current quarter had none. Year to date,
$100.3 million of intercompany sales were excluded in the prior
year versus $25.6 million in the current year. Housing Group
Results The Housing Group generated operating income of $13.1
million in the third quarter compared to an operating loss of $4.4
million in the same quarter of the prior year. Quarterly revenues
for the Group grew 14 percent to $208.8 million from $183.7 million
in last year's third quarter. The third quarter included revenues
of approximately $57 million from the sale of homes for disaster
relief, while similar orders last year were completed in the second
quarter. For the first nine months of the fiscal year, Housing
Group revenues grew 8 percent to $638.1 million from $593.3 million
in the prior year period. During the same period, operating income
climbed to $32.3 million, a 141 percent improvement compared with
$13.4 million in the first nine months of last year. "We are
optimistic about the long-term prospects for our Housing Group,"
Smith said, "but somewhat cautious about the short-term. During the
third quarter we enjoyed tremendous efficiencies from building the
same FEMA-specified home in sustained production runs in plants
that otherwise would have been under-utilized. This production,
however, completed our contract commitment for disaster relief
units. Eventually, we expect the need for replacement housing in
the Gulf Coast region will provide us with the opportunity to build
a sizable number of homes for our traditional manufactured housing
customers, as well as new buyers who are looking for a faster, more
cost-effective way to replace their site-built homes. Nonetheless,
the timing is uncertain, in that most of the area is still in the
process of cleaning up, and rebuilding has been further delayed by
insurance claim processing and floodplain mapping. "Demand across
the country varies by region, with areas of strength in parts of
the Southwest, relative stability in the Southeast and general
weakness elsewhere," Smith continued. "The first house was
completed at our new plant in Southern California subsequent to the
end of the quarter. The plant, as it gains momentum, will enable us
to better meet demand in this region. We are encouraged by the
response to our new regionally focused products from both dealers
and consumers, and anticipate that these recently introduced homes
will position us for market share gains in coming quarters." RV
Group Results The RV Group earned $3.8 million in operating income
for the third quarter, compared to an operating loss of $33.5
million in the comparable period of the prior year. Revenues for
the Group increased 7 percent to $365.3 million in the quarter
compared with $342.6 million in the same period of the prior year.
Sales of FEMA trailers in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005
were $72 million and $9 million, respectively. The third quarter's
positive results were driven by a surge in operating income in the
travel trailer division, partially offset by losses in the motor
home and folding trailer divisions. The travel trailer division
earned $11.2 million in the quarter on sharply higher revenues,
compared to an operating loss of $16.2 million in the third quarter
last year. Operating losses for the folding trailer division
narrowed to $3.3 million from $18.2 million last year, which
included a charge related to the $14.6 million adverse judgment in
the Coleman litigation. The motor home division incurred an
operating loss of $4.1 million compared to operating income of $0.9
million in the prior year, primarily due to a 22 percent drop in
revenues. The Group reported an operating loss of $2.0 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 2006 on revenues of $1.18 billion,
compared with an operating loss of $9.3 million on revenues of
$1.28 billion in the comparable period last year. "Travel trailer
operations benefited significantly from producing a large number of
nearly identical units for FEMA," Smith said. "Efficiencies
associated with the increased volume and consistency of production
provided the improvement in overall margins. We had begun to see
the positive impact during the second quarter, but realized the
full advantage in the third quarter. We will build approximately
2,500 more FEMA trailers during the fourth quarter. With lower
volume anticipated in the fourth quarter, we expect that gross
margins in the travel trailer division will more closely
approximate those of the second quarter rather than the third
quarter. We are enjoying strong backlogs for our conventional
travel trailers, which we attribute partly to production deferred
from the third quarter due to the FEMA contract, and partly to the
acceptance of new products that have been introduced over the last
several months. "The past month has not changed our 'cautiously
optimistic' view on the spring selling season," Smith continued.
"We continue to see relatively soft motor home sales, but good
traffic at most of the early RV shows. Travel trailers are moving
at a faster clip, which leads us to believe that the primary
concern among potential RV buyers continues to be fuel prices. If
history is any indication, we anticipate that as fuel prices
stabilize, we will see a rebound in motor home sales." Discontinued
Operations Discontinued operations, which include the manufactured
housing retail and financial services businesses, the majority of
the assets of which were sold in the second quarter, incurred a
loss of $3.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the third
quarter, compared to a loss of $10.2 million or $0.19 per diluted
share in the comparable period last year. Costs include general and
administrative expenses associated with the wind-down and closure
of the operations. These expenses are expected to decline
significantly in the fourth quarter. Subsequent Events On February
15, 2006, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company paid
the outstanding cumulative deferred obligation on its 6%
convertible trust preferred securities, as well as the current
distribution due on that date, for a total of approximately $61.9
million. Elevated accounts receivable at the end of the quarter
were the result of the high level of FEMA sales, which have a
protracted collection period compared to our more traditional
business. Since the end of the quarter, a large majority of the
FEMA-related receivables outstanding at the end of the third
quarter have been collected. Corporate Outlook "Because of the soft
markets for both motor homes and manufactured housing, we do not
believe that results for the fourth quarter will change
significantly from those of the third quarter," Smith concluded.
"As we have noted, most of the FEMA orders have been completed. We
continue to focus on cost controls, while providing a better
customer experience by pushing decisions and accountability
regarding product, sales and service further down into the
organization. Finally, we believe that our optimism for improved
financial results over the longer term is well founded on our
reputation for value, our enhanced ability to respond to market
trends, and the excellent consumer demographics in both of our
industries." The Company will host a conference call with
