Third Quarter 2013 Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2013 third quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $150.9 million, a 24.3% increase from $121.4 million for the fiscal 2012 third quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal 2013 third quarter was $9.3 million, or $0.34 per share vs $0.18 in prior year.

Sal Guccione, Chief Executive Officer of ACETO, stated, "We are very pleased with the results achieved in the fiscal third quarter, reporting new records for net sales and gross profit. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net sales were up 12.9%. In the fiscal third quarter, our sales growth was attributable to a very strong showing from our Pharmaceutical Ingredients segment, with 52.2% year-over-year growth, primarily driven by demand for a product launch as well as strong performance of various pharmaceutical intermediates. Our Human Health segment was also strong, with sales up 28.8%, compared to last year's third quarter. Recent product launches from Rising Pharmaceuticals fueled the segment's growth. Performance Chemicals' third quarter sales were essentially flat with the comparable quarter in fiscal 2012."

"Our reported earnings per share increased 40.0% on a diluted basis to $0.28. On a non-GAAP basis, EPS increased 88.9% from last year's quarter to $0.34. The non-GAAP adjustment accounts for a $2.8 million charge taken in the third quarter for additional accrued contingent consideration related to the Rising acquisition. The acquisition structure has an earn-out provision based on performance, and Rising has exceeded projections."

"We are pleased with the quarter's performance, but do not expect a repeat in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter. Our current expectations are for a quarter much more in line with recent historical performance, with our usual caveat that results could vary on a quarterly basis due to the nature of our business and timing of our orders. As a result of our strong fiscal third quarter earnings, we increased our cash position, decreased our borrowings and further improved our balance sheet. We remain committed to investing in our internal growth initiatives and to pursuing strategic acquisitions," concluded Mr. Guccione.

Second Quarter 2013 Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2013 second quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $114.0 million, a 2.9% increase from $110.7 million for the fiscal 2012 second quarter.
For the fiscal 2013 second quarter, ACETO reported net income of $4.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $4.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

"Looking at the balance of the year, we remain well positioned for continued growth in sales and profitability. As we have discussed previously, our business is difficult to forecast on a quarterly basis due to the timing, size and nature of our orders. In particular, looking at our upcoming fiscal third quarter, we expect, based upon business to date within the Pharmaceutical Ingredients segment, to report fiscal third quarter earnings per share significantly beyond those reported in either of our fiscal first or second quarters of this year," concluded Mr. Guccione.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter were $110.9 million, a decrease of 8.5% from $121.2 million reported in the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter. Again excluding $ 12.9 million of glyphosate sales in the 2011 fiscal fourth quarter, total company sales would have increased by 2.4%.

Net income increased 13.9% to $4.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $4.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.

Commenting on the results, Albert Eilender, Chairman and CEO of ACETO, stated, "We are very pleased with our results for both the fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2012. For the fiscal year, we had record sales of $444.4 million, up 8%. Yearly sales revenue comparisons were unfavorably impacted by our withdrawal from the low-margin glyphosate business, as this product represented $24 million of sales in fiscal 2011. Excluding that product in 2011, the full fiscal 2012 year's revenue would have increased by 14%".

"We also experienced significant margin expansion during the year, due to a variety of factors; most prominently being the inclusion of a full year as contrasted with six months in fiscal 2011 of our Rising Pharmaceuticals generic business and improved product mix. Earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis increased by 85% to $0.63, compared to fiscal 2011 earnings per diluted share of $0.34. On a non-GAAP basis, fiscal 2012 earnings per diluted share were $0.65, compared to $0.47 in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 38%. As we enter into fiscal 2013, we remain optimistic about our overall top and bottom line growth opportunities".

Mr. Eilender concluded, "With a strong pipeline of products in the Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Human Health segments, we have confidence in ACETO's ability to continue to drive sales and profit improvements, although sales growth may fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the nature of our business and the markets we serve. Coupled with a strong balance sheet, we remain very well positioned to continue to invest in our growth initiatives. We are also pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has decided to provide an enhanced return to our stockholders by increasing our quarterly dividend payment by 10%".

HOUSTON, July 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Electric Technologies, Inc (Nasdaq:AETI) a leading supplier of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, announced today that it has been selected by SEMV (Socios Energeticos de Mexico Verde) to supply its 1.0 megawatt (MW) Integrated Solar Inversion Station (ISIS) for a solar project in Mexico. Contract terms were not disclosed.

The 1.0 MW ISIS will enable SEMV to realize increased farm productivity by taking full advantage of 1000 Volt PV panels through its 1200 Volt UL1741 and IEEE 1547 witness-tested architecture. AETI's ISIS high-reliability features, such as liquid cooling and operation without derating for up to 50°C, allows SEMV to have the flexibility to work in Mexico's tough desert climates.

"We selected the ISIS solar inverter for our project requirements based on its high-performance capabilities and AETI's proven history of deploying reliable, megawatt-class power systems in harsh desert climates," said George Gonzalez, executive director, SEMV. "We look forward to working with AETI on our other future utility-scale solar projects as well."

AETI's ISIS unit is the world's first 1MW solar inverter witness-tested to UL1741 by a nationally recognized test lab (NRTL), TUV of North America. By integrating 1MW of liquid cooled power inverters with a 1MVA transformer and medium voltage switchgear, SEMV can reduce field installation costs while assuring a successful deployment.

"We are pleased to have been selected by SEMV for their important solar project," said Charles Dauber, president and CEO, AETI. "By working with international solar project developers like SEMV, we can enable the industry to reach its Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) objectives and help solar power reach grid parity cost levels."

AETI expects to ship the system in the third quarter for installation in Fall 2012.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., May 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aceto Corporation (Nasdaq:ACET), a global leader in the marketing, sales and distribution of pharmaceutical active ingredients and intermediates, finished dosage form generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceutical products, agricultural protection products and specialty chemicals today announced its new Logo and renamed Business Segments. The following announcement from Albert Eilender, Chairman and CEO, was sent to Aceto Shareholders on May 29, 2012.

As you can see from the new logo, we are introducing a number of enhancements to our corporate appearance. Not only is there a new logo but there also will shortly be a newly designed website, www.ACETO.com. When you visit and explore our redesigned electronic home you will find improved navigation and enhancements relating to our core competencies of sourcing, regulatory support and quality assurance that apply to each of the three business segments within our international framework of operations.

We have also reconfigured and renamed our three business segments to better reflect today's ACETO. The six individual business units that make up the overall company have not changed only their prominence, location and placement within the newly designated segments.

The three newly named business segments are:

Human Health- consists of Nutritional and Finished Dosage Form products.

Pharmaceutical Ingredients- consists of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, and Intermediates.

Performance Chemicals- consists of Specialty Chemicals and Agricultural Protection products.

This reconfiguration does not impact our relationships with our customer and/or supplier base. Functionally, we have aligned our senior management team to better support the newly named business segments resulting in no change to our operating costs. Rather, this realignment is intended to provide a clearer lens through which our Company can be viewed by our diverse stakeholders, spanning our customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and the people within the communities where we have active business establishments. The new business segments will provide a more accurate intellectual and visual understanding of how the Aceto business has evolved, and how it should be viewed as we move forward. To provide additional clarity at fiscal year-end, we will report our financials within these newly named segments, as well as for the previous two years.

We encourage you to explore our new website which will be fully operational by the start of our new fiscal year. It should be intuitive, easy to navigate, and the clarity of our core competencies of sourcing, regulatory support and quality assurance, combined with our marketing, sales and distribution effort across all of our business segments, should be self-evident. Sections covering Investor Relations, Governance, and Career Opportunities will have all been enhanced.

I would also like to acknowledge the creative participation of our employees in both the design of our logo and drafting of the web site copy. By doing the bulk of the work internally we have been able to limit our cost to outside 3^rd parties to a minimal amount of monies, less than $50,000, which is a notable accomplishment.

We trust that you will find that collectively these changes enhance the understanding of Aceto both substantively and aesthetically.

Third Quarter 2012 Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2012 third quarter were $121.4 million, an increase of 3.0% from $117.9 million reported in the fiscal 2011 third quarter.
Net income increased 39.9% to $5.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the 2012 fiscal third quarter, compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2011.

Commenting on the results, Albert Eilender, Chairman and CEO of Aceto, stated, "We are very pleased with our fiscal 2012 third quarter results, with all of our business segments performing at or above our expectations. Sales in our Health Sciences segment were up 10.5% compared to last year, largely driven by new products launched in fiscal 2012. As previously announced, Rising Pharmaceuticals launched two new generics in the fiscal third quarter, for a total of six new products in the fiscal year to date. Our product pipeline remains strong and we are well positioned for continued growth in this business."

"Sales in our Specialty Chemicals segment increased 8.9% in the fiscal third quarter, partially due to continued demand for agricultural intermediates, dye, pigment and miscellaneous industrial additives in our domestic operations. Agricultural Protection sales declined, as expected, due to the planned phase out of glyphosate sales. Additionally, drought conditions in the Southern U.S. resulted in fewer orders for certain agricultural protection products. Looking forward, we remain optimistic about our long-term growth prospects; however, we continue to expect sales fluctuations on a quarterly basis due to the nature of our sales cycle and the markets we serve," Mr. Eilender concluded.

These overall increases were partially offset by decreases in sales of pharmaceutical intermediates.

Yesterday, we coded Aceto as a GeoSpecial based on our new valuation gap criteria.

The stock has yet to react to the company's financial report on May 7, 2009 when the company reported EPS of $0.15, exceeding analyst estimates by 50%.

Management comments are strong and fiscal June 2011 EPS are expected to reach $0.66. If investors are willing to apply a P/E of 15 on 2011 EPS estimates, the stock price could trade at $9.90.

"Updating the current status of Aceto's animal vaccine project, we are still awaiting the USDA's decision regarding our permit application to import our supplier's canine vaccine with authorization for its distribution and sale in the United States. We continue to reiterate that this is a regulatory review and there is no prescribed timetable for the USDA to make their final decision.

Comments & Business Outlook

Mon, 10 May 2010 04:00:00 GMT

Commenting on the Company's third quarter performance, Vincent Miata, CEO & President of Aceto stated, "We are pleased with the results that we have reported this morning. During our second quarter conference call, we had indicated that we had been seeing some encouraging signs that demand in some of our business segments was beginning to show signs of recovery. The results that we have reported today, with increased sales across all of our business segments, gives us encouragement that an upturn in our business is at hand. During the quarter, sales in our Health Sciences segment increased 16.4% from the comparable quarter as a result of increased sales across all business components of this segment. In our Specialty Chemicals segment, sales increased 22.6% on the same quarter comparison, the result of increased sales in both domestic and international markets. Sales of products used in surface coatings and in the food, beverage and cosmetics industries all showed marked improvement. Sales in our Crop Protection segment increased 95.9% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to sales of glyphosate which commenced during the third quarter. With regard to the previously filed glyphosate anti-dumping petition, the Company had been reviewing its options and strategy going forward, however, the United States International Trade Commission announced on April 29th that the petitioner had withdrawn the application. Aceto continues to believe that this product offers us opportunities now and in the future and is pleased with this outcome."

Mr. Miata continued, "As we have previously discussed, over the past several months we have restructured the way Aceto manages its operations into more of a vertically integrated, global team matrix built around each of our business segments. This realigned management structure is beginning to take hold and we believe that Aceto is well positioned for future growth."
