EnPro Industries Adjusts Fourth Quarter 2017 Income Tax Provision

EnPro Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NPO) announced calendar and fourth quarter 2017 financial results on February 13, 2018. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“SAB 118”), the 2017 income tax expense reflected in the February 13 announced results was provisional and subject to adjustment for, among other things, guidance that may be issued under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 (the “Tax Reform Act”).

On February 13, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued guidance, Revenue Procedure 2018-17, under the Tax Reform Act that, due to the timing of the release of the guidance, was not reflected in EnPro’s financial results announced that same day. This new guidance has been considered by EnPro in determining the tax provision and related items for 2017 as it finalizes its financial statements for inclusion in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is to be filed on or about February 27, 2018. In addition, since February 13, 2018, EnPro has further refined its calculation of the provisional tax impact under the Tax Reform Act and (in light of the Tax Reform Act) determined to accelerate funding of its U.S. pension plans and implement other tax planning strategies which also affect the income tax benefit for 2017. Accordingly, EnPro has recalculated its fourth quarter 2017 income tax provision and is revising affected items included in its previously announced fourth quarter and calendar year 2017 financial results and December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet.

As a result of the new IRS guidance, additional tax planning strategies, and further refinement of the provisional impact of the Tax Reform Act, the income tax benefit and net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 both increased by $10.8 million. Net income for the fourth quarter increased from $23.4 million to $34.2 million. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2017 increased from $1.07 to $1.57 per share.

The following table reflects these adjustments to the income tax benefit and other items from the amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of operations data for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2017 and the consolidated statement of cash flows data for the year ended December 31, 2017 as included in the February 13, 2018 announcement.

The following pages present the revised Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 which reflect these adjustments, but are otherwise unchanged for the corresponding information included in the February 13, 2018 announcement. The complete 2017 consolidated financial statements of EnPro on Form 10-K will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 27, 2018.

Since the Tax Reform Act was passed at the end of 2017, and ongoing guidance and interpretation is expected over the remainder of the year, EnPro considers the impact of the Tax Reform Act, including the transition tax, remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and other items recorded in its revised income tax provision to be a reasonable estimate, but provisional, subject to further IRS guidance, analysis of year-end data and refinement of its calculations. EnPro expects to complete its analysis of the impact of the Tax Reform Act within the one-year measurement period in accordance with the SEC’s guidance reflected in SAB 118.
