DALLAS, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2018. All comparisons are to the prior-year period. Adjusted revenue and profit exclude the non-core Refrigeration businesses in Australia, Asia and South America that are in the process of being divested, as previously announced. These businesses totaled $47 million of revenue and $2 million of profit in the first quarter of 2018.

For the company overall, GAAP revenue was up 5% to a first-quarter record $835 million. Adjusted revenue was up 6% to a first-quarter record $788 million. At constant currency, both GAAP and adjusted revenue were up 4%.

GAAP operating income was $53 million in the first quarter, including $13 million in pre-tax charges for the write-down of assets and divestiture costs associated with the Australia and Asia transaction. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.90, including $0.30 in charges for the write-down of assets and divestiture costs associated with the Australia and Asia transaction. On an adjusted basis, total segment profit increased 12% to a first-quarter record $69 million. Total segment margin expanded 50 basis points to a first-quarter record 8.8%. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations rose 33% to a first-quarter record $1.13.

"Lennox International posted another record first quarter on the strength of our Residential business, which hit new first-quarter highs for revenue, margin and profit," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "Residential revenue was up 8% led by growth in replacement business. Residential profit rose 21%, and segment margin expanded 120 basis points to 11.3%. Our Commercial business set new first-quarter records for revenue and profit. Commercial revenue was up 3% at constant currency, led by growth in regional and local replacement business, and profit rose 2%. Segment margin of 9.5% was off 30 basis points from the record first-quarter level a year ago. In Refrigeration, revenue was down 5% at constant currency, segment margin was down 100 basis points to 7.4%, and profit declined 14%. In North America, refrigeration systems revenue was relatively flat while display case revenue was down from a year ago. Europe saw strong mid-teens growth in the quarter.   

"Overall for the company, the first quarter was a record start to the year. As we enter our largest seasonal period, we continue to expect another record year with strong growth and profitability. With a strong balance sheet, and as we close on the sale of our non-core Refrigeration properties, the company will remain focused on driving shareholder value with continued investments in the business, growing the dividend, and repurchasing company stock."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: On a GAAP basis, revenue was a first-quarter record $835 million, up 5%. Foreign exchange was a 1% benefit to revenue growth. On an adjusted basis, revenue was a first-quarter record $788 million, up 6%. Foreign exchange was a 2% benefit to adjusted revenue growth. Volume and price were up, and mix was neutral.

Gross Profit: On a GAAP basis, gross profit was $223 million, up 6%. Gross margin was 26.7%, up 10 basis points. On an adjusted basis, gross profit was $210 million, up 7%. Adjusted gross margin was 26.6%, up 30 basis points. GAAP and adjusted gross profit were positively impacted by higher volume, favorable price, sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, favorable foreign exchange, and lower warranty and other product costs. Partial offsets included unfavorable mix, higher commodity and freight costs, lower factory absorption, and distribution investments.

Income from Continuing Operations: On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the first quarter was $37.9 million, or $0.90 per share, compared to $43.5 million, or $1.00 per share, in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in the first quarter was $47.3 million, or $1.13 per share, compared to $36.8 million, or $0.85 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 excludes net after-tax charges of $9.4 million: a $10.3 million asset write-down and a charge of $1.9 million for divestiture costs associated with the Australia and Asia transaction, $1.5 million for asbestos-related litigation, $1.3 million for various other items, net, a benefit of $4.3 million for excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, and a profit of $1.3 million for non-core business results.

Cash from Operations, Free Cash Flow and Total Debt: Net cash used in operations in the first quarter was $83 million compared to $108 million in the prior-year quarter. Capital expenditures were $23 million compared to $25 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow was approximately ($106) million compared to approximately ($132) million in the first quarter a year ago. Total debt at the end of the first quarter was $1.289 billion. Total cash and cash equivalents were $57 million at the end of March. In the first quarter, the company paid approximately $21 million in dividends and $150 million for stock repurchases.

In the second quarter, the company obtained board approval and signed an agreement with Elgin SA, a private Brazilian company, for the sale of our South American business, subject to Brazilian anti-trust approval, and expects the transaction to close later this year.

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 prior period results have been updated to provide period-over-period comparability.
