DALLAS, Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2018. All comparisons are to the prior-year period. Adjusted revenue and profit exclude the non-core Refrigeration businesses divested in 2018. The company closed on the sale of its Australia and Asia refrigeration businesses in the second quarter, as well as on the sale of real estate in the Sydney area, and closed on the sale of its South America business in the third quarter. The company had $7 million of revenue and $0.6 million of operating loss from the South America business in the third quarter of 2018. The company's tornado references relate to the July 19 tornado damage at a Residential manufacturing facility in Iowa.

For the third quarter, Lennox International reported GAAP revenue of $1.03 billion, down 2%. Adjusted revenue was up 2% to a third-quarter record $1.02 billion. Foreign exchange was neutral.

GAAP operating income was $145 million in the third quarter, down 6%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.65, up 8%. On an adjusted basis in the third quarter, total segment profit declined 3% to $155 million. Total segment margin was down 80 basis points to 15.2%. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations rose 8% to a third-quarter record $2.72.

"For 2018, we are raising the estimated business interruption impact from the tornado, which will reverse to a benefit in 2019 upon the receipt of insurance proceeds," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "We are also rebalancing the expected tornado impact between the third and fourth quarters of 2018. We had guided that one-third of the impact would be in the third quarter and now expect that approximately 40% of the impact was in the third quarter. We had estimated two-thirds of the impact to come in the fourth quarter and now expect that approximately 60% of the impact will be in the fourth quarter. Third-quarter EPS was up 8% but was impacted by lost profits from the tornado of $0.52 per share, about $0.17 higher than estimated for the quarter.

"Turning to business segment results, Residential and Commercial set new third-quarter highs for revenue, and Refrigeration established a new high for segment margin. In Residential, impacted by the tornado, revenue rose 1%, profit was down 1%, and segment margin was down 40 basis points to 19.0%. In Commercial, revenue rose 2%. Segment profit was down 7%, and margin was down 170 basis points to 16.9%. Commercial national account equipment revenue, lumpy on a quarter-to-quarter basis, was down low-single digits compared to 20% growth in the prior-year quarter, and Europe HVAC revenue was down double digits on continued softness in the region. In Refrigeration, revenue was up 4%. Refrigeration profit rose 19%, and margin expanded 190 basis points to 15.4%.

"While there are moving pieces and noise from the tornado impact in the reported results, we remain focused on normalizing Residential production and continuing to execute on all our corporate initiatives to drive performance and shareholder value. We plan to repurchase $100 million of stock in the fourth quarter as we look toward a strong close to 2018 and ahead to 2019."

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Measures

(Unaudited, in millions, except per share and ratio data)


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements and segment net sales and profit presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables.  In addition to these non-GAAP measures, the Company also provides rates of revenue change at constant currency on a consolidated and segment basis if different than the reported measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and operating performance. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company announced the planned sales of its businesses in Australia, Asia, and South America.  The results from operations for these businesses have been shown in the tables below as "Non-core business results". The sale of our business in Australia and Asia and the related property was completed in the second quarter of 2018 and sale of our business in Brazil was completed in the third quarter of 2018. The prior period results have been updated to provide period-over-period comparability.
