Reports Second Quarter 2024 Earnings By: Mueller Industries, Inc. via Business Wire July 23, 2024 at 07:00 AM EDT Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI) announces results for the second quarter of 2024. Comparisons are to the second quarter of 2023. Net Sales of $997.7 million versus $897.0 million Operating Income of $210.0 million versus $210.7 million Earnings Before Taxes of $222.9 million versus $241.0 million Net Income of $160.2 million versus $177.7 million Diluted EPS of $1.41 versus $1.561 Second Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights: COMEX copper averaged $4.55 per pound during the quarter, 18.4% higher than in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net sales was attributable to higher unit shipments in most of our businesses, price increases tied to higher copper prices, and the inclusion of one month of reported sales for our recently acquired Nehring business. In 2023, we reported an insurance settlement gain of $19.5 million related to the August 2022 fire at our Westermeyer facility. Adjusting for this gain, our quarterly operating income performance improved by 9.8% over the prior year period. Net cash generated from operations was $100.8 million, and our cash balance was $825.7 million at quarter end. Cash deployed during the quarter included $566.6 million for acquisitions and $15.1 million in stock repurchases. Our current ratio remains solid at 4.7 to 1. Regarding the quarter performance and outlook, Greg Christopher, Mueller’s CEO said, “Our businesses continue to perform well despite persistent heightened inflation and restrained construction activity. We maintain a positive long-term outlook for our business. Our internal investments are paying off, and we expect they will yield even greater benefits as market conditions improve. Moreover, our acquisition of Nehring Electrical Works, which we completed during the quarter, provides a substantial platform for expansion in the energy infrastructure space.” _____________________________ 1 Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2023 has been adjusted retroactively to reflect the two-for-one stock split that took effect on October 20, 2023.1 Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2023 has been adjusted retroactively to reflect the two-for-one stock split that took effect on October 20, 2023.
