Lennox International Reports First Quarter Results

DALLAS, April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2019. All comparisons are to the prior-year period. The company's tornado references relate to the July 2018 tornado damage at a Residential manufacturing facility in Iowa. Adjusted revenue and profit excludes non-core Refrigeration businesses divested in 2018 and 2019.

For the first quarter, Lennox International reported GAAP revenue of $790 million, down 5%. At constant currency, GAAP revenue was down 4%. GAAP operating income was a first-quarter record $95 million, up 79%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a first-quarter record $1.73, up 92%.

Adjusted revenue, excluding the impact from divestitures, was a first-quarter record $756 million, up 1%. At constant currency, adjusted revenue rose 2%. Total segment profit increased 34% to a first-quarter record $99 million. Total segment margin expanded 330 basis points to a first-quarter record 13.1%. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was a first-quarter record $1.68, up 38%.

"In the first quarter, our Residential business continued to make significant progress in the recovery from the tornado," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "With full production capability in place across our three Residential factories, we are taking back business as we re-supply dealers and focus on fully re-filling our company-owned regional and local distribution network. We now expect $70 million of negative tornado impact on revenue this year, down from prior guidance of $85 million. We estimate $40 million of negative segment profit impact, down from the prior estimate of $43 million. Business interruption insurance recovery for lost profits is expected to be $80 million in 2019, compared to $83 million in prior guidance.

"Looking at business segment results in the first quarter, Residential revenue was up 3%, including negative tornado impact of 8% or $35 million in the quarter. Revenue was up in both replacement and new construction business. Residential segment profit rose 69%, or 26% adjusted for the $22 million of net benefit resulting from $40 million in insurance proceeds against $18 million of negative tornado impact in the quarter. Segment margin expanded 730 basis points to 18.6%, or 160 basis points to 12.9% adjusted for the tornado impact and insurance. In Commercial, revenue was down 3% on a decline in new construction business, lumpy on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Segment profit declined 31%, and segment margin was down 360 basis points to 8.7%. In Refrigeration, revenue was up 2% at constant currency, led by growth in Europe. Segment profit was down 20% from a year ago, and segment margin was down 180 basis points to 8.0%. Heading into our seasonally largest quarters, we continue to expect growth and margin expansion in both our Commercial and Refrigeration businesses on a full-year basis.

"For the company overall, the second quarter is off to a solid start, and we reiterate revenue and adjusted EPS guidance for 2019 as we look ahead to another year of strong growth and profitability. Following the sale of the Kysor Warren business in the first quarter, we are raising guidance for stock repurchases from $350 million to $400 million for the full year."

                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. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Kysor Warren business. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company announced the planned sales of its businesses in Australia,
       Asia, and South America. 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 South America was completed in the third quarter of 2018. 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.
