Dynamic Materials Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Financial Results
Selected Highlights
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamic Materials
Corporation (DMC) (Nasdaq: BOOM), a leading provider of explosion-welded clad
metal plates and associated services, today reported financial results for its
fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Fourth quarter sales increased 16% to $23.2 million versus $20.0 million
in the fourth quarter last year, and increased 14% from sales of $20.2 million
in this year's third quarter. Income from operations increased 67% to
$5.2 million versus $3.1 million in last year's fourth quarter. Operating
income was up 18% versus the $4.4 million reported in the third quarter.
Net income improved 50% to $3.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share,
versus net income of $2.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth
quarter last year. Sequentially, fourth quarter net income increased 10%
versus net income of $3.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in this year's
third quarter. The earnings-per-share and shares outstanding figures from
prior quarters have been adjusted to reflect the company's fourth quarter 2005
two-for-one stock split. Actual shares outstanding at December 31, 2005 was
11,758,920.
Explosive Metalworking
Fourth quarter sales in the company's Explosive Metalworking segment
increased 17% to $22.2 million from $18.9 million in last year's fourth
quarter, and were up 16% versus sales of $19.2 million in the third quarter.
Operating income increased 77% to $5.1 million from $2.9 million in the
comparable period last year, and was up 23% from the $4.1 million reported in
the third quarter. The segment ended the quarter with an all-time high order
backlog of $42.0 million, up 23% from $34.1 million reported at the end of the
third quarter.
AMK Welding
The company's AMK Welding segment recorded sales of $1.0 million, flat
versus sales of $1.0 million in last year's comparable quarter and down
slightly from $1.1 million in the prior quarter. Fourth quarter operating
income at AMK was $123,000 versus $235,000 in the fourth quarter last year and
$258,000 in this year's third quarter. During the fourth quarter, AMK
announced it had entered into a five-year supply agreement with a manufacturer
of ground-based power turbines. Sales associated with the contract have been
impacted by late-stage design modifications.
2005 Full-Year Results
For the full fiscal year, sales increased 46% to $79.3 million compared
with sales of $54.2 million in 2004. Full-year net income advanced 266% to
$10.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, versus net income of $2.8 million,
or $0.27 per diluted share, during the prior year. Last year's net income was
impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $1.6 million, or $0.14 per
diluted share, associated with the company's former Spin Forge division.
Full-year sales in the Explosive Metalworking segment were $75.6 million,
up 47% versus $51.4 million in 2004. Operating income increased 129% to
$15.2 million compared with $6.6 million during the prior year.
AMK Welding's full-year sales increased 33% to $3.7 million compared with
$2.8 million during 2004. Operating income improved 118% to $608,000 compared
with $279,000 in the prior year.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2005,
increased to $7.7 million from $2.4 million at the end of 2004. Stockholders'
equity increased 74% during the same period to $34.9 million from
$20.1 million. Outstanding bank lines of credit and term debt were reduced to
$2.8 million from $9.3 million at the end of the prior year.
Management Commentary
Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "The fourth quarter represented a
strong finish to what was a very solid year for Dynamic Materials. Robust
order volume during the month of December pushed our year-end order backlog
for explosion-welded plates to $42.0 million. This backlog exceeds our
previous all-time high by a wide margin and is a clear indication of the
demand we are seeing from within our global target markets."
Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said the fourth quarter was
positively impacted by shipments associated with a $5.3 million order for a
nickel hydrometallurgy project in New Caledonia and initial deliveries on the
$6.0 millionKuwait Olefins contract announced in August of last year.
"Shipments for the New Caledonia project are largely complete, and we expect
most of the $1.1 million remaining on the Kuwait order to ship in the first
quarter. Deliveries on the recent $7.5 million North American refinery order
commenced during January and will continue through the first half of 2006."
Capital Expansion
The company intends to make significant investments in additional
production capacity at both of its divisions in anticipation of continued
growth. Cariou said, "Our original 2006 capital expenditures budget of
$4.5 million represents a more than 50% increase from what we spent in 2005
and has been augmented by recent board approval to spend up to an additional
$8 million on the expansion of our explosion welding facility in Mount
Braddock, Pennsylvania. We invested approximately $7.1 million in the
original construction of this plant in 1999, so this clearly represents a
major expansion initiative. We hope to complete this expansion project during
the first half of 2007."
Santa said the capital expenditures will be funded with cash flow from
operations. "Our strong cash flow performance is allowing us to invest in new
capacity while we simultaneously reinforce our balance sheet and increase our
annual dividend by 50%."
Annual Dividend
DMC's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share.
This represents a 50% increase from the dividend paid last year. The dividend
will be paid on March 22, 2006 to stockholders of record as of March 10, 2006.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Packed with heart-pounding
action, breathtaking visual effects and one of 2005's most acclaimed
box-office blockbusters, "King Kong," this year's most highly anticipated DVD,
arrives in stores March 28, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Three-time Academy Award(R) winner Peter Jackson, director of the landmark
"Lord of the Rings" trilogy, sets a new standard for unforgettable suspense
filled with nail-biting danger, high emotion and amazing creatures beyond
imagination including the legendary beast as never before seen.

available at $29.98 SRP and the two-disc Special Edition is priced at $30.98

"'King Kong' is one of those rare cinematic achievements that reminds us

Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "From the first frame, Peter Jackson
and his team take us on an unforgettable adventure that not only thrills, but
also touches us on a deep, emotional level. We are extremely proud to be able
to bring this one-of-a-kind film to home entertainment audiences."
"The original 'King Kong' inspired me to become a filmmaker," said
director/producer Peter Jackson. "It's a story that had a profound personal
impact and shepherding its return to the big screen has been a dream come
true. Contributing to the DVD afforded me the opportunity to share this
amazing experience with audiences and highlight the incredible achievements of
our exceptional cast and crew."

("21 Grams"), Jack Black ("School of Rock"), Oscar(R) winner Adrien Brody

the Rings" trilogy). Director and producer Jackson co-wrote the update on the
classic 1933 film with his longtime collaborators and fellow Oscar(R) winners
Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. The film has earned over $215 million at the
box-office, been honored on countless "Best Movie" lists, and is nominated for
four Academy Awards(R), including Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction,
Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. A must-see and must-have action
adventure epic for movie lovers of all ages, "King Kong" marks a quantum leap
in thrilling home entertainment.
A timeless tale of love and survival, "King Kong" is the story of a
desperate young actress, Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), and an ambitious and
unscrupulous movie producer, Carl Denham (Jack Black), who travel to a
mysterious jungle island. There they discover an extraordinary lost world,
and encounter Kong, a gigantic, savage gorilla who is unexpectedly smitten
with the leading lady. But it is their mutual empathy and affection that
eventually lead to the beast's tragic downfall. "KING
KONG" CAPTURES CRITICAL KUDOS
"King Kong"'s dazzling visual effects, exhilarating action and commanding
performances enthralled major movie critics across the country. Of the film,
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says, "Here is the jaw-dropping, eye-popping,
heart-stopping movie epic we've been waiting for all year." Lou Lumenick of
the New York Post states, "Prepare to be blown away" while Devin Gordon of
Newsweek exclaims, "Thrilling! Epic!"
"'King Kong' rules over all others. As big, breathlessly exciting and
relentlessly thrilling as any epic adventure the screen has seen in many
years!" pronounces Pete Hammond of Maxim. Scott Manz of "Access Hollywood"
labels "King Kong" "A rip-roaring, rousing, exciting cinematic adventure!"

OfficeMax's New Store Concept Receives First-Place Honor in Store Design Competition New Store Format Replaces Warehouse Design With Colorful, Engaging Environment That Showcases Small and Home Office Solutions
ITASCA, Ill., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- OfficeMax(R) (NYSE: OMX), one of the
nation's largest office supply distributors, has received a first-place award
in Chain Store Age's 24th annual Retail Store of the Year design competition
in the "Hard Lines - 15,000 - 100,000 square feet" category for its new,
customer-centric Advantage store format. OfficeMax's new store concept was
honored by a panel of retailers, designers and architects based on its project
characteristics and special design elements and materials.
Chain Store Age, a leading retail industry trade publication, lauded
OfficeMax's new store concept, saying the design "transforms the traditional,
warehouse-styled office-supplies model into a colorful and engaging
environment." OfficeMax unveiled its new store prototype in Macedonia, Ohio,
in October 2005, and is planning to open approximately 70 stores in the new
format in 2006.
"Building on OfficeMax's customer-focused approach, we not only talked
with customers, but watched them shop in order to create this new store
concept," said Ryan Vero, OfficeMax chief merchandising officer. "We are
proud that this new format, which showcases our innovative solutions for small
and home offices, has been recognized by this award."
Understanding today's busy mobile professionals, the new store design has
a community area, called OfficeMax Cafe, that Chain Store Age called a
"welcome amenity." At the Cafe, customers can enjoy a cup of free,
individually brewed gourmet coffee, check their e-mail or download reports
using WiFi connectivity, browse a local networking bulletin board or watch
cable TV news. Other new features include brightly colored bulk bins that
allow customers to scoop up basics such as paper clips, pens and rubber bands.
As customers enter the new store format, a central technology "hub"
creates a striking focal point and immediately helps customers orient
themselves. Whimsical photographic banners direct shoppers to their
destinations and improved sight lines make other shopping categories visible
from across the store.
"Lifestyle graphics and warm colors and materials bring a residential feel
to the space and make an emotional connection with customers while reinforcing
the brand," said Chain Store Age about the new OfficeMax design. The new
format's color palette includes golds, oranges, greens and blues.
Another solution for small businesses and home offices featured in the new
format is called OfficeMax Ink, Filling Station, a refillable ink cartridge
kiosk. This computerized program checks the condition of a cartridge and
fills it at 30 to 50 percent less cost than a new cartridge.
OfficeMax partnered with Envirosell, a research firm specializing in
consumer shopping, and FRCH Design Worldwide, an international architecture
and design firm, to help create the customer-focused format.
OfficeMax will be presented with its award at the Retail Store of the Year
awards dinner on February 25, 2006, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
U.S. Olympic Committee and DHL Announce Winners of the 2006 U.S. Olympic Spirit Award Delivered by DHL
TORINO, Italy--(Business Wire)--Feb. 26, 2006--
Speedskater Joey Cheek, Women's Alpine Skier Lindsey Kildow and the
2006 U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team Voted As Best Representatives of
Olympic Spirit during the XX Olympic Winter Games
The United States Olympic Committee joined U.S. Olympic Team
supplier, DHL, today to announce the winners of the 2006 U.S. Olympic
Spirit Award Delivered by DHL.
Joey Cheek, Lindsey Kildow, and the members of the 2006 U.S.
Olympic Snowboarding Team, were selected by American fans, fellow Team
USA athletes, U.S. alumni Olympians, and members of the media for best
representing "Olympic Spirit" during the 2006 Olympic Winter Games.
Athletes were selected based their demonstration of the Olympic Ideals
and Olympic values such as courage, commitment, perseverance and
vision, both in competition and in pursuit of their Olympic dream.
Votes were cast during the 16 days of competition, beginning February
11, 2006 through February 26, 2006, noon EST. Winners for each
category are as follows:
-- Male Category Winner, Joey Cheek (Greensboro, NC) - A 2006
gold and silver medalist and two-time Olympian (2002, 2006) in
long track speedskating, Cheek selflessly donated his $40,000
in performance earnings to the organization, Right to Play.
His generosity inspired others to contribute thousands of
dollars to the organization. As result of his humanitarianism
and exemplary behavior, he was elected by his peers to carry
the American flag during the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic
Winter Games.
-- Female Category Winner: Lindsey Kildow (St. Paul, Minn.) -
Kildow, a two-time Olympian (2002, 2006) is the first-ever
woman to win the individual U.S. Olympic Spirit Award while
not winning an Olympic medal. Despite being hospitalized after
a spectacular training run accident on the second day of the
downhill practice, Kildow returned to the slopes to compete
the next day, finishing eighth. Still struggling with the
injuries, she demonstrated incredible courage and commitment
and went on to compete in four of her five events which
resulted in two top ten placements.
-- Team Category Winner: 2006 U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team -
The U.S. Snowboarding Team not only contributed seven medals
to Team USA's 25 medal count total, but the team's youthful
and vibrant personalities and performances captivated the
hearts of Americans young and old. Their camaraderie among
peers earned them the recognition they deserve. The team
consists of the following athletes: Mason Aguirre, Gretchen
Bleiler, Kelly Clark, Andy Finch, Rosey Fletcher, Michelle
Gorgone, Jayson Hale, Elena Hight, Nate Holland, Lindsey
Jacobellis, Tyler Jewell, Danny Kass, Jason Smith, Hannah
Teter, Graham Watanabe, Seth Wescott and Shaun White.
"I believe the reason why the Olympics resonate with people is
that the spirit of Olympians is in many ways really the spirit of
people all over the world. I am proud to be an Olympian, to be a
competitor and to be able to give back to people that are less
fortunate than me, through a special organization like Right to Play,"
said Joey Cheek.
"To me, the Olympics are not just about the medals, it's the way
people come out to the Games and they dream about being the best in
the world. I am very proud that people voted for me and I hope that I
represented my country to the best of my ability," said Lindsey
Kildow.
"Receiving the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award means that everybody back
home in the U.S. saw how much fun the U.S. Snowboarding Team had doing
what we love to do. Hopefully we have set an example so that young
kids will have dreams of doing what we did here in Torino and someday
they will want to compete in future Olympics," said 2006 U.S.
Snowboard Team member, Michelle Gorgone.
"For nearly 40 years, at the close of every Olympic Games, the
United States Olympic Committee has honored those athletes who have
inspired our country through their commitment to the Olympic Ideals,"
said USOC Chief Executive Officer, Jim Scherr. "Through the support of
DHL, we are proud to continue this important tradition, and we
congratulate this year's honorees for their excellence, both on and
off the field of play."
"We are thrilled to be recognizing this incredible group of
athletes that have been awarded the honor of the U.S. Olympic Spirit
Award. These individuals embody the Ideals of the Olympic Games which
are also shared by DHL employees across the country," said Karen
Jones, DHL vice president of brand, advertising and promotions. "The
personal journey of every Olympian on the 2006 U.S. Olympic Team is
inspiring and the award has succeeded in recognizing those most
deserving as deemed appropriate by fans, teammates and the media."
The winners will be honored at a U.S. Olympic Team celebration
dinner on May 16, 2006 in Washington D.C. Additionally, DHL will
provide a grant of $5,000 on behalf of each of the winners to a
qualified, Olympic-related, non-profit organization of their choice.
Following the conclusion of the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games on
March 19, DHL will officially present the 2006 U.S. Paralympic Spirit
Awards Delivered by DHL to the deserving male and female athletes and
teams participating in the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games.
The U.S. Olympic Spirit Award history begins in 1968, when it was
created by the USOC to honor the extraordinary achievements of the
United States' athletes. In 2000, the award was expanded to include
the U.S. Paralympic Spirit Award, recognizing the excellence and
efforts of athletes with physical disabilities. Past U.S. Olympic
Spirit Award winners include Team DHL members Scott Hamilton (figure
skating), Dan Jansen (speedskating), Chris Klug (snowboarding),
Vonetta Flowers (bobsleigh) and Sarah Will (alpine skiing).

Avon wins OK to resume direct selling in China
(Adds details, comment)
By Eadie Chen and Sophie Taylor
BEIJING/HONG KONG, Feb 27 (Reuters) - China is welcoming
back the "Avon Ladies" after seven years in the cold.
Avon Products Inc. <AVP.N> has won approval to return to its
favoured direct-selling model in China, a senior government
official said on Monday, rescinding a controversial 1998 ban
just days ahead of a visit to Beijing by U.S. trade officials.
Avon is the world's largest direct seller of cosmetics,
using legions of representatives to sell to customers at home
rather than moving its products through stores.
But in 1998, Beijing shut the door on direct sales in a
blanket ban aimed at curtailing domestic pyramid schemes,
forcing Avon to begin selling its products through beauty
boutiques.
The ban sparked rioting and looting in central China after
thousands were left holding goods bought with life savings, and
some provincial officials said it left residents without
desperately needed jobs.
The official, from the department of foreign investment
administration, said that apart from granting a license to Avon,
the ministry was in the process of reviewing applications from
other direct-selling companies.
Other door-to-door direct sellers, particularly major U.S.
players such as Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. <NUS.N> and Amway,
stand to benefit from China's moves to restore direct selling.
"The Commerce Ministry of China is currently reviewing our
application, and we believe Nu Skin would receive the license
soon in the coming months," Nu Skin said in a statement.
Senior U.S. officials from the Trade Representative's office
are due to meet with their counterparts in Beijing this week to
discuss wider access for U.S. firms to China's market.
Beijing had promised to lift the ban within three years of
joining the World Trade Organisation in late 2001.
The American Chamber of Commerce, eager for U.S. firms to
tap more remote, rural markets in China through door-to-door
selling, has been pushing for China to reinstate the practice.
"Many firms have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in
the China market, and most industry executives are hopeful that
China will comply with its WTO obligations by legalising direct
selling operations as promised," the Chamber said in its 2005
White Paper.
Avon posted a 16 percent drop in third-quarter sales in
China after beauty boutiques cut back on the U.S. firm's
products, afraid of losing out to a new cadre of "Avon Ladies"
once China lifted the ban.
