Nortek Fiscal 2015 Q4 & Full Year Results are Mixed; AVC is Still Sliding

March 2, 2016 by Ted Leave a Comment

Nortek LogoNortek, Inc., a diversified manufacturer that through its Core Brands division markets several brands in the custom integration channel, released this week its fiscal 2015 fourth quarter and full year results. Overall, the results were mixed, as the company continues to struggle through a huge consolidation and experience shifts in its sales mix.

But one thing that remains clear is that their AVC segment, the segment that contains the Core Brands businesses, is continuing to struggle with a dramatic sales decline (27.1% decline in the quarter – 20.5% sales decline for the year) and increased losses ($20.8 million loss for the year as compared to a $19.2 million loss for 2014, ).

Wall Street Reacts to Negative Nortek Q3 Numbers; AVC Sales Drop 36.8%

November 5, 2015 by Ted 3 Comments

Company Blames Declines on ‘Negative Impact’ of United Technologies Unsuccessful Acquisition Bid

Nortek's HeadquartersNortek, Inc. stock dropped more than 9.3% in early afternoon trading Wednesday in the wake of a report released by the company after the close of business Tuesday showing results for their fiscal third quarter. With sales and profit declines in key business segments – as well as for the company overall – it appears that Wall Street analysts are growing tired of waiting for the promised benefits of the company’s multi-year restructuring program, begun four years ago.

The company reported overall sales for the quarter of $618.5 million or 3.8% below the $642 million booked in the third quarter last year. The profit picture was even bleaker with a net loss of $14.4 million in the quarter this year as compared with a net profit in the quarter last year of $4.6 million.

Surprisingly, the AVC division saw sales drop an astonishing 36.8% to $30.1 million – well off the $47.6 million in the quarter last year – in the wake of the spin-off of TV One and the company’s exit from commercial AV businesses.

Investment Advisor on Potential Nortek Acquisition: ‘Nortek is a Bit of a Train Wreck’

September 3, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

Nortek LogoAfter the Wall Street Journal revealed late last month that United Technologies Corp. (UTC) was in talks to potentially acquire Nortek, Inc., we questioned why UTC would even want to acquire Nortek. Within days of our post, investment advisory firm The Motley Fool (TMF) also raised the issue in a post last week about this not-quite-so-obvious marriage. Well, maybe it’s more like a dalliance than a marriage…at least at this point.

We found the Motley Fool’s analysis interesting – both in their clear-eyed assessment of Nortek and why the acquisition may in fact make sense for United Technologies.

Why Would United Technologies Want to Acquire Nortek?

August 21, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

Company Loses Almost 6% of Total Market Value in Just a Few Hours

Nortek 2015 Q2 PresentationNortek, Inc. released the results for its fiscal second quarter after the market’s close on Monday and took the unusual step of issuing optimistic performance guidance for the remainder of the year. The company does not typically release future performance guidance as a matter of policy, but did so in an apparent attempt to calm investor reaction to their troubling report. It didn’t work – investors reacted strongly on Tuesday by driving Nortek’s stock to a close of $75.23 per share, down sharply from the previous close of $79.88. In just a matter of hours, the total market value of Nortek collapsed almost 6%.

Nortek’s AVC Segment in Q1: Less Loss, But Sales are Still Sliding

May 7, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

Nortek LogoNortek Inc. released their fiscal first quarter results this week and they were mixed at best. The company showed a sales increase to $572.7 million, up 4.5% over the $547.8 million booked in the first quarter of 2014. However, the company saw its net losses increase from $8.6 million last year to $13.9 million in the quarter this year. And when it comes to Nortek’s AV businesses, sales in the quarter declined another 9.5%, although the loss attributable to this segment did show some improvement to less of a loss.
