DALLAS, July 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2018. All comparisons are to the prior-year period. Adjusted revenue and profit exclude the non-core Refrigeration businesses being divested in 2018, as previously announced. 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 continues to expect the sale of its South America business to be closed in the second half of 2018. The company had $17 million of revenue and $0.5 million of operating loss from these businesses in the second quarter of 2018.

Lennox International reported record GAAP revenue of $1.18 billion in the second quarter, up 7%. Adjusted revenue was up 9% to a record $1.16 billion. Foreign exchange had 1% positive impact on revenue.

GAAP operating income was a record $195 million in the second quarter, up 11%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a record $3.39, up 25%. On an adjusted basis in the second quarter, total segment profit increased 13% to a record $206 million. Total segment margin expanded 50 basis points to a record 17.8%. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations rose 30% to a record $3.67.

"Lennox International posted record revenue, profit and margin in the second quarter led by broad strength in our Residential and Commercial businesses," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "In Residential, revenue and profit hit new highs on strength in both replacement and new construction business. Residential revenue was up 9% at constant currency, and profit rose 9% as segment margin remained at the record 21.5% level. In Commercial, revenue and profit also set new highs. Commercial revenue was up 12% at constant currency on strength in North America equipment and services. Commercial profit rose 18% as segment margin expanded 70 basis points to 18.0%. In Refrigeration, revenue was up 1% at constant currency, and profit rose 5% as segment margin expanded 40 basis points to 14.9%.

"With the record first half for the company and strong start in the third quarter, we are raising our outlook for 2018 as we continue to expect another record year for Lennox International. We now expect adjusted revenue growth of 6-8% in 2018 and adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $9.95-$10.35. In addition, we are raising our stock repurchase guidance to a total of $450 million for the full year."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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 sales of our business in Australia and Asia and the related property was completed in the second quarter of 2018. The prior period results have been updated to provide period-over-period comparability.
