Furmanite Corporation Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

Loss per Share of $0.02 on Revenues of $71.8 million

European Economic Crisis and timing of Turnarounds impact quarterly operating results

HOUSTON--()--Furmanite Corporation (NYSE: FRM) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Revenues were $71.8 million compared with $73.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. Net loss incurred in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.8 million compared to net income of $4.0 million, inclusive of an acquisition related income tax benefit of $1.2 million, in the first quarter of 2011.

Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted the Company’s first quarter 2012 revenues by $0.3 million but had minimal impact on operating results for the quarter. Loss per share was $0.02 for the first quarter of 2012. This compares with first quarter 2011 earnings per share (diluted) of $0.11, or $0.08 excluding the acquisition related income tax benefit in the quarter.

“Our overall results this quarter were seriously impacted by deteriorating market conditions in Europe,” said Charles R. Cox, chairman and CEO of Furmanite Corporation. “The markets in both Asia-Pacific and the Americas continue strong with our units in these regions continuing to perform well, in spite of a late start to a number of turnarounds.”

Joseph Milliron, Furmanite President and COO, said: “The major restructuring we completed in 2010 proved inadequate for the poor markets we encountered this quarter. In light of the continuing negative and uncertain macro outlook for Europe, we have already begun plans for further restructuring there. After the cost of that action, we are optimistic that the impact of further weakness in European markets in future quarters will be significantly reduced.”

Mr. Cox continued, “We remain confident we are on the right course to drive and support sustained long-term growth. Although this has been a disappointing quarter, we are moving ahead quickly with our previously announced strategic and organizational initiatives.”
