"We had a very good quarter with solid results from our Steel Processing and Pressure Cylinders businesses and several of our joint ventures," said John McConnell, Chairman and CEO. "We saw strength in volumes from the automotive, agriculture, heavy truck and commercial construction markets in Steel Processing. The oil and gas business in Cylinders had a very good quarter and the transformation's operational improvements are also providing a lift to this business. Engineered Cabs has stabilized while still experiencing softer volumes from key customers." McConnell added, "We also had excellent contributions from our joint ventures with WAVE, ClarkDietrich and TWB leading the way this quarter."
Consolidated Quarterly Results
Net sales for the first quarter were $692.3 million, up 4% from the comparable quarter in the prior year, when net sales were $666.0 million. An increase in volume driven by recent acquisitions was partially offset by lower average selling prices, primarily in Steel Processing, which were affected by a shift in product mix.
Gross margin for the current quarter was $111.0 million, compared to $93.7 million in the prior year quarter. The $17.3 million increase was primarily the result of the recent acquisitions, a more favorable product mix in Pressure Cylinders and lower inventory holding losses in Steel Processing.
SG&A expense increased $12.1 million over the prior year quarter driven by the impact of acquisitions and a $2.0 million legal accrual in the current quarter.
Operating income for the current quarter was $38.6 million, compared to $33.4 million in the prior year quarter as the improvement in gross margin more than offset the increase in SG&A expense. Operating income in the current quarter also included an impairment charge of $4.6 million related to certain non-core steel processing assets and net restructuring gains of $4.0 million driven primarily by a gain on the sale of a warehouse facility in Detroit, Mich.
Interest expense was $6.2 million for the current quarter, compared to $5.3 million in the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of higher average interest rates due to an increase in the percentage of debt that is long-term.
With unconsolidated sales of $423.5 million, joint ventures contributed $27.0 million in equity income in the current quarter, a $4.3 million increase from the comparable quarter in the prior year. All joint ventures posted positive results, led by WAVE, ClarkDietrich, and TWB, which contributed $19.7 million, $2.8 million, and $1.8 million of equity income, respectively. The equity portion of income from ClarkDietrich and WAVE exceeded the prior year quarter by $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. TWB's contribution to equity income decreased $0.8 million, reflecting only two months of activity in the current quarter as this joint venture became consolidated on August 1, 2013 upon our acquisition of an additional 10% interest.
Miscellaneous income includes an $11.0 million non-cash gain on the write-up of the investment in TWB to fair value. This was the result of acquiring an additional 10% interest in the joint venture.
Income tax expense of $13.9 million in the current quarter decreased from $16.1 million in the prior year quarter as the impact of higher pre-tax earnings was more than offset by a $4.5 million favorable tax adjustment. This adjustment resulted from the impact of acquiring control of TWB on the deferred tax liability related to the unremitted earnings of its Mexican operations. The current quarter reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 28.9% compared to 32.6% for the prior year quarter.
Balance Sheet
At quarter end, total debt was $469.2 million, down $51.8 million from May 31, 2013, due to lower short-term borrowings. As of August 31, 2013, the Company had utilized $40.0 million under its trade accounts receivable securitization facility and $18.0 million was drawn on the Company's $425.0 million revolving credit facility.
Quarterly Segment Results
Steel Processing's net sales of $402.4 million were up 5%, or $17.4 million, from the prior year quarter as higher volumes resulting from the consolidation of TWB and increased sales in the agriculture and heavy truck markets were partially offset by the impact of lower average selling prices due to a shift in product mix. The mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 58% to 42% this quarter, compared with a 54% to 46% mix in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Operating income increased $6.0 million, driven almost entirely by lower inventory holding losses.
Pressure Cylinders' net sales of $216.9 million were up 12%, or $22.7 million, from the comparable prior year quarter. Operating income was $19.5 million, up $4.4 million. The increase was the result of the recent acquisitions.
Engineered Cabs' net sales of $48.5 million were down 25%, or $16.0 million, from the comparable prior year quarter driven by lower volumes and the impact of lower average selling prices due to mix. Operating income decreased $5.0 million driven almost entirely by lower volumes from key customers, who had lower demand during the quarter.
The entities included in "Other" are the Construction Services and Energy Innovations operating segments, as well as non-allocated expenses. Operations in the "Other" category reported net sales of $24.5 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the prior year quarter mostly due to the Energy Innovations business. The "Other" category reported a combined loss of $3.2 million, which included a $2.0 million legal accrual.
