DALLAS, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2017. All comparisons are to the prior-year period.

Revenue was a third-quarter record $1.052 billion, up 4%. At constant currency, revenue was up 3%. GAAP operating income was $155 million, down 1%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.45, up 5%. On an adjusted basis, total segment profit increased 2% to a third-quarter record $161 million. Total segment margin was 15.3%, down 30 basis points from the record third-quarter level of a year ago. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations rose 9% to a third-quarter record $2.53.

"While underlying economic conditions remain strong, the third quarter was materially impacted by significantly cooler weather than a year ago and the near-term market disruption from the hurricanes that hit Texas and Florida," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "These dynamics negatively impacted the company's growth and margin performance in the quarter -- specifically for our residential replacement, commercial emergency replacement, and refrigeration wholesale businesses. That being said, the company posted record third-quarter revenue, total segment profit, and EPS.

"In Residential, revenue and profit hit new third-quarter highs. Revenue rose 3% on high-single digit growth in new construction and low-single digit growth in replacement. Segment margin was off 30 basis points to 19.4%. Residential profit rose 2% in the quarter.

"Our Commercial business set new all-time highs for revenue and profit. Commercial revenue was up 6% at constant currency, led by nearly 20% growth in National Accounts and mid-teen growth in National Account Services. Planned replacement revenue was up 20%, while emergency replacement revenue was relatively flat. Europe was down double digits. Commercial margin was off 90 basis points to 18.6%. Commercial profit rose 2%.

"In Refrigeration, revenue was up 2% at constant currency. North America, our most profitable region, was flat, while Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America were up. Refrigeration margin was down 190 basis points to 10.4%, and segment profit was down 13%.

"Looking ahead for the company overall with the recovery in key regions underway, we are well-positioned to close out a year of record revenue, margin and profit in 2017 and to drive strong growth and profitability over the coming year."  

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue was a third-quarter record $1.052 billion, up 4%. Foreign exchange was a 1 percentage point benefit to revenue growth. Volume and price were up. Mix was unfavorable in the quarter.

Gross Profit: Gross profit in the third quarter was $314 million, up 1%. Gross margin was 29.8%, down 90 basis points. Gross profit was positively impacted by higher volume, favorable price, sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, and foreign exchange, with offsets from higher commodity and other product costs, unfavorable mix, and investments in distribution expansion.

Income from Continuing Operations: On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $104.0 million, or $2.45 per share, compared to $101.7 million, or $2.33 per share, in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in the third quarter was $106.9 million, or $2.53 per share, compared to $101.9 million, or $2.33 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2017 excludes net after-tax charges of $2.9 million: $1.3 million of special legal contingency charges, $1.1 million of restructuring charges, $1.0 million for asbestos-related litigation, a total of $1.0 million for other items, and a benefit of $1.5 million for excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.

Free Cash Flow and Total Debt: Net cash from operations in the third quarter was $177 million, up from $152 million in the prior-year quarter. Capital expenditures were $17 million compared to $18 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow was $160 million, up from approximately $134 million in the third quarter a year ago. Total debt at the end of the third quarter was $1.124 billion. Total cash and cash equivalents were $61 million at the end of September. In the third quarter, the company paid approximately $22 million in dividends and $75 million for stock repurchases.

BUSINESS SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Residential Heating & Cooling
Revenue in the Residential Heating & Cooling business segment rose 3% to a third-quarter record $591 million. Foreign exchange was neutral on a revenue basis. Segment profit was a third-quarter record $115 million, up 2%. Segment profit margin was 19.4%, down 30 basis points from the third-quarter record margin a year ago. Results were positively impacted by higher volume, favorable price, sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, and foreign exchange, with offsets from higher commodity and other product costs, unfavorable mix, investments in research and development, information technology and other SG&A, and investments in distribution expansion.

Commercial Heating & Cooling
Revenue in the Commercial Heating & Cooling business segment was a record $269 million, up 7%. At constant currency, revenue was up 6%. Segment profit was a record $50 million, up 2%. Segment margin was 18.6%, down 90 basis points from the third-quarter record a year ago. Results were positively impacted by higher volume, favorable price, sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, lower SG&A expenses, and favorable foreign exchange. Offsets included unfavorable mix, higher commodity and other product costs, and higher freight and distribution expenses.

Refrigeration
Revenue in the Refrigeration business segment was $192 million, up 3%. At constant currency, revenue was up 2%. Segment margin was down 190 basis points to 10.4%, and segment profit declined 13% to $20 million.

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.
