Exhibit 99.3
Walter Industries Announces First-Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Earnings
Expectations
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Walter Industries, Inc. (NYSE:
WLT) today announced first-quarter and full-year 2005 earnings expectations.
Based on current business forecasts and anticipated market conditions, the
Company expects to generate full-year 2005 earnings in the range of $2.20 to
$2.80 per diluted share. Expectations for first-quarter earnings are in the
range of $0.25 to $0.33 per diluted share. These expectation ranges reflect the
adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-8 ("EITF 04- 8") in December
2004, which requires that the dilutive effect of the Company's $175 million
contingent convertible senior subordinated notes be included in calculating
diluted earnings per share using the "if converted" method.
The range of full-year expectations reflects sensitivity in the coal business
related to potential production and transportation issues, and the ability to
achieve significant, attractively priced spot sales of metallurgical coal. Also,
U.S. Pipe's margins are heavily impacted by scrap raw material costs, which have
been volatile and difficult to predict.
Key factors driving the Company's earnings expectations:
* Significantly higher metallurgical coal pricing, especially in the third and
fourth quarters of 2005, as well as higher coke and ductile iron pipe prices,
are expected to drive increases in revenues and operating income at Jim Walter
Resources, Sloss and U.S. Pipe, respectively.
* Jim Walter Resources is expecting seven longwall moves to occur throughout the
year, including three moves in the first quarter, which will impact production
volume and temporarily increase extraction costs per ton. Also, less than
optimal geologic conditions within Mine No. 5 could negatively impact production
and operating results as its remaining coal reserves have become more costly and
difficult to extract.
* Financing is expected to continue its solid operating performance in 2005,
however, a lower overall mortgage portfolio balance and slowing prepayment
income is expected to negatively impact operating income.
* Unit completions and margins at Homebuilding are expected to improve during
2005. However, given the long cycle times in the business, a profitable run rate
is not anticipated until the latter part of 2005.
* First-quarter expectations reflect seasonality in volumes, primarily at U.S.
Pipe and Homebuilding.
Earnings Announcement and Conference Call Webcast
Walter Industries Chairman and CEO Don DeFosset and members of the Company's
leadership team will discuss fourth-quarter and full-year 2004 results, the
outlook for 2005 and other general business matters on a conference call and
live Webcast to be held on Wednesday, February 23, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern
time. To listen to the event live or in archive, visit the Company Web site at

Culp
Announces Acquisition of Bodet & Horst USA Knitted Mattress Fabric
Operations
HIGH POINT, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CFI) today
announced the acquisition of the knitted mattress fabrics operation of
Bodet & Horst USA, LP ("B&H"). This business will be operated by Culp
Home Fashions, the mattress fabrics division of Culp, Inc. For the past
six years, B&H has been the company's primary source of knitted mattress
fabric, a product category that has grown substantially in recent years
for Culp's mattress fabric business. Pursuant to the terms of the
purchase agreement, Culp is acquiring B&H's equipment, inventory and
certain intellectual property. Culp will continue to manage the High
Point manufacturing operation at the existing location with no
production interruption or change in the day to day operations of the
plant. The company is financing the purchase with a long term unsecured
note with one of its current lenders, with no principal payment for
three years.
Commenting on the announcement, Frank Saxon, president and chief
executive officer of Culp, Inc., stated, "We are pleased to announce the
acquisition of B&H and believe this transaction will further enhance
Culp's strong service platform for our customers. Demand for this
product line has grown significantly, as knits are increasingly being
utilized on mattresses at volume retail price points. Mattress fabrics
have been a driving force in Culp's business and accounted for 54
percent of the company's sales in the fourth quarter ended April 2008.
Additionally, we have recently completed a $5.0 million capital project
to significantly strengthen our woven mattress fabrics manufacturing
operations and provide further reactive capacity for servicing our
customers. With this weaving expansion and the completion of the B&H
acquisition, Culp Home Fashions has substantially increased its
commitment to the bedding industry. We are now positioned with a large
and modern, vertically integrated manufacturing platform in all major
product categories of the mattress fabrics industry. Our strategic focus
in mattress fabrics continues to be providing our customers with
outstanding delivery performance, quality, innovation and value".
"With this acquisition, Culp Home Fashions expects to improve upon
supply logistics from pattern inception to fabric delivery, allowing
accelerated responsiveness, stability and service for its customers,"
added Iv Culp, president of Culp Home Fashions. "We also look forward to
extending our strong working relationship with B&H, one of the leading
producers of knitted mattress fabrics, with operations in several
European countries. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate on
manufacturing projects and supply each other with products in different
parts of the world. Culp will also serve as the primary agent for B&H to
distribute sewn covers and fire protectors/socks to the North American
mattress trade. We now have the unique ability to leverage the strengths
of both companies and pursue additional growth opportunities in the
global mattress fabrics business".
Culp, Inc. is one of the world's largest marketers of mattress fabrics
for bedding and upholstery fabrics for furniture. The company's fabrics
are used principally in the production of bedding products and
residential and commercial upholstered furniture.
This release contains statements that may be deemed "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 27A of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934).
Such statements are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties.
Further, forward-looking statements are
intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made.
Forward-looking
statements are statements that include projections, expectations or
beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements
of historical fact.
Such statements are often but not always
characterized by qualifying words such as "expect", "believe,"
"estimate", "plan" and "project" and their derivatives, and include but
are not limited to statements about the company's future operations,
production levels, sales, SG&A or other expenses, margins, gross profit,
operating income, earnings or other performance measures.
Factors
that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include
the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer
confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions.
Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect
on the company's business and prospects.
Likewise,
increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and
increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could
affect the company adversely.
Changes in consumer tastes or
preferences toward products not produced or marketed by the company
could erode demand for the company's products.
Strengthening
of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make the company's
products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the
United States and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can
have a negative impact on the company's sales in the U.S. of products
produced in those countries.
Also, economic and political
instability in international areas could affect the company's operations
or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for the company's
products in international markets.
The company's level of success
in integrating the business operations and assets acquired from Bodet &
Horst could have an effect on operating efficiency, costs, and
ultimately on profits.
Finally, unanticipated delays or costs in
executing restructuring actions could cause the cumulative effect of
restructuring actions to fail to meet the objectives set forth by
management.
Other factors that could affect the matters discussed
in forward-looking statements are included in the company's periodic
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
"Risk Factors" section in the company's most recent annual report on
Form 10-K.
