Mueller Industries, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Earnings

Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI) announces 2021 second quarter results. (All comparisons are to the prior year quarter.)

  • Operating income of $157.8 million versus $52.3 million
  • Net income of $108.8 million versus $28.0 million
  • Net sales of $1.01 billion versus $500.2 million
  • EPS of $1.92 versus $0.50 per share

Financial and Operating Highlights:

  • Average COMEX copper for the second quarter was $4.43 per pound, an 82 percent increase over the second quarter of last year.
  • The increase in net sales was attributable to unit sales growth across all segments, contributions from 2020 acquisitions, and the influence of higher copper prices.
  • During the quarter, we retired our Subordinated Debentures ($284.4 million) and recognized an expense of $5.7 million for a redemption premium.
  • We recorded a $1.0 million loss on our investment in Tecumseh Products Company for the quarter, compared to an $8.6 million loss recorded during the prior year period.
  • At quarter-end, cash on hand was $110.7 million, our debt to total capitalization was 27 percent, and the current ratio was 3.0 to 1.

Regarding the state of the Company and outlook, Greg Christopher, Mueller's CEO said,

“During the second quarter, our team delivered excellent operating performance while confronting highly inflated demand and widespread industry supply constraints. Extended lead times and abnormally high backlogs are expected to continue well into the third quarter, as many of these conditions persist.

Mueller’s operations remain well positioned for the current market conditions due to our operational investments and acquisitions that enhance capacity, increase yields and lower costs. In addition, we continue to benefit from the prudent cost controls we implemented during the height of the pandemic.

We anticipate that strong demand in the building construction sectors will continue through the remainder of the year."
