ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Today, August 3, 2010, the Registrant is issuing a press release (furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this report) announcing its fiscal year 2010 third quarter financial and operating results. See Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure below.
|
ITEM 5.02 |
DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS |
Effective July 29, 2010, the employment agreement dated as of November 3, 1999, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”), between the Registrant and A.S. Barclay, Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of Registrant (the “executive”) was further amended (the “Amendment”) to extend, in the case
of a termination as described below, from one year to two years the period for which the executive will receive (i) the continuation of her then-current base salary and bonus (bonus calculated using the annual percentage of base salary for the last fiscal year prior to termination), and (ii) continuation of her perquisites and certain employee benefits. Such a termination would exist if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Registrant other than for cause, or if the executive terminates
her employment following certain actions by the Registrant, such as failing to comply with the Employment Agreement, materially reducing the executive’s responsibilities or requiring the executive to relocate. The Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated
by reference herein.
If the executive’s employment is terminated in connection with a Change of Control (as defined), she will not receive the foregoing benefits, and will receive instead the benefits payable under the Registrant’s Severance Plan.
For further information concerning the Employment Agreement as in effect prior to the Amendment, reference is hereby made to the description under the caption “Employment Agreements” beginning on page 19 in the Registrant’s proxy statement filed December 22, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which description
is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.2.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Today, the Registrant is issuing a press release (Exhibit 99.1) announcing its fiscal year 2010 third quarter financial and operating results. The Registrant will conduct a related Webcast conference call today at 4:00 p.m. central time. This press release will be posted on the Registrant’s web site located at http://www.escotechnologies.com. It
can be viewed through the “Investor Relations” page of the web site under the tab “Press Releases”, although the Registrant reserves the right to discontinue that availability at any time.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The press release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 contains the financial measures “EBIT” and “EBIT margin”, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), in order to provide investors and management with an alternative method
for assessing the Registrant’s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Registrant’s ongoing operations.
The Registrant defines EBIT as earnings before interest and taxes from continuing operations. The Registrant defines EBIT margin as EBIT as a percent of net sales. The Registrant’s management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based in part on EBIT and EBIT margin, and believes that EBIT and EBIT margin are
useful to investors to demonstrate the operational profitability of the Registrant’s business segments by excluding interest and taxes, which are generally accounted for across the entire Registrant on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by management in determining resource allocations within the Registrant and incentive compensation.
The Registrant believes that the presentation of EBIT and EBIT margin provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Registrant’s financial condition and results of operations. The Registrant’s management believes that these measures provide
an alternative method for assessing the Registrant’s expected future performance that is useful because it facilitates comparisons with other companies in the Utility Solutions Group segment industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. The Registrant provides this information to investors to enable them to perform additional analyses of present and future operating performance, compare the Registrant to other companies, and evaluate the Registrant’s
ongoing financial operations.
The presentation of the information described above is intended to supplement investors’ understanding of the Registrant’s operating performance. The Registrant’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other companies’ non-GAAP financial performance measures. Furthermore, the use of these measures is not
intended to replace net earnings (loss), cash flows, financial position, comprehensive income (loss), or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Chairman’s Commentary
Vic Richey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased with our third quarter results compared to both the prior year third quarter and our fiscal 2010 second quarter. We continue to focus on sales growth and execution, and again
demonstrated our success in the third quarter.
“Compared to the prior year third quarter, we increased sales by $9.5 million in spite of a $9.7 million decrease at Aclara RF related to the wind-down of PG&E’s gas deployment. We increased our EBIT contribution $8.0 million, or 84 percent of the sales increase, resulting from exceptional operating performance at Doble and
Aclara PLS.
“Filtration delivered a 19.4 percent EBIT margin on strong performance from all three operating units. Test reported an EBIT margin of nearly 10 percent as changes in sales mix impacted its EBIT margins compared to the prior year. The Utility Solutions Group was clearly the brightest spot in the quarter with an EBIT margin of 22.3 percent
compared to 14.4 percent in the prior year.
“Coming off our significant second quarter orders, I’m very pleased with the $150 million in orders we received in Q3. This brings our year-to-date orders to a record $507 million resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.27x for the nine months of fiscal 2010.
“Nearly halfway through the fourth quarter, I’m very comfortable with where we are in relation to meeting our full-year operating goals. My confidence in the remainder of the fiscal year is supported by the level and mix of our shippable backlog.
“Looking forward, we remain confident in our ongoing prospects across all segments of our business, both domestically and internationally. Our Aclara products, in particular, are well positioned on several international projects in Central America and South America as well as Asia. We expect these geographic areas to be significant
contributors to our multi-year growth outlook.”
Business Outlook
Statements contained in the preceding and following paragraphs are based on current expectations. Statements that are not strictly historical are considered forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Dividend Payment
The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid on October 20 to stockholders of record on October 6.
FY 2010
Management’s expectations for fiscal year 2010 remain consistent with the Business Outlook discussions noted in the Company’s Earnings Release dated November 12, 2009.
Chairman’s Commentary – Wrap-Up
Mr. Richey concluded, “I am very pleased with our selection to begin negotiations of a definitive agreement for SoCalGas’ Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. I remain very optimistic about our current business prospects, both domestically and internationally, as well as our new product roadmap. Our commitment remains
the same − to achieve our long-term goal of increasing shareholder value.”
