        reduction program.

"We are well-positioned to continue to deliver share gains from our growth catalysts, including the ongoing Craftsman brand rollout, Lenox and Irwin revenue synergies, our breakthrough innovations - including FlexVolt, Atomic and Xtreme - e-commerce and emerging markets. The organization is also focused on margin expansion as we control costs, execute pricing actions and capture the $300 - $500 million three-year savings associated with the margin resiliency initiative.

    --  Tools & Storage net sales increased 2% versus 2Q'18 as volume (+3%) and
        price (+2%) were partially offset by currency (-3%). The 5% organic
        growth for the quarter was led by North America (+7%) and Europe (+5%),
        more than offsetting a decline in emerging markets (-2%). North America
        organic growth was driven by the rollout of the Craftsman brand, new
        product innovation, including the continued expansion of the DEWALT
        cordless power tool system, and price realization which was partially
        offset by a modest decline in industrial-focused businesses. Europe
        delivered share gains supported by continued successful commercial
        actions and new product introductions. Emerging markets realized the
        benefits from price, new product launches and e-commerce expansion,
        which was more than offset by a three-point impact from market
        contractions in Argentina, Mexico and Turkey. The Tools & Storage
        segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 17.0%, an 80 basis point
        expansion from the 2Q'18 rate of 16.2%, as the benefits from volume
        leverage, pricing and cost control offset the impact from currency,
        commodity inflation and tariffs.
    --  Industrial net sales increased 13% versus 2Q'18 as the IES Attachments
        acquisition (+18%) was partially offset by volume (-3%) and currency
        (-2%). Engineered Fastening organic revenues were down 4% as automotive
        and industrial market declines were partially offset by continued
        fastener penetration gains. Infrastructure organic revenues were up 2%
        primarily due to stronger onshore pipeline project and inspection
        activity in Oil & Gas, partially offset by lower Hydraulic Tools volumes
        which were impacted by a difficult scrap steel market. The Industrial
        segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 16.4%, down from the 2Q'18
        rate of 16.8%, as productivity gains and cost control were more than
        offset by the impact from lower Engineered Fastening volume and
        commodity inflation.
    --  Security net sales declined 3% versus 2Q'18 as bolt-on commercial
        electronic security acquisitions (+2%) and price (+1%) were more than
        offset by currency (-3%), lower volume (-2%) and the Sargent & Greenleaf
        divestiture (-1%). North America organic growth was flat as higher
        volumes within healthcare were offset by lower automatic doors
        installations. Europe was down 2% organically as growth within France
        was offset by adverse market conditions in Sweden and the UK. The
        overall Security segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 11.2%,
        which was up 120 basis points versus the prior year, as a focus on cost
        containment was partially offset by investments to support the business
        transformation in commercial electronic security.

Donald Allan Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, "Security continued to demonstrate forward progress on its business transformation, delivering operating margin rate and dollar expansion for the third consecutive quarter with an intense focus on operational efficiency and cost control. We are encouraged by some early signs that point to the value creation potential of our targeted commercial investments in electronic security and we expect they will begin to positively impact organic growth in the second half of 2019 and beyond."

Updated 2019 Outlook

Management is reiterating its 2019 EPS outlook of $7.50 - $7.70 on a GAAP basis and $8.50 - $8.70 on an adjusted basis and its free cash flow conversion estimate of approximately 85% - 90%.

The following reflects the key assumption changes to the Company's prior EPS outlook:

    --  An incremental $50 million in external headwinds primarily due to the
        increase of 'List 3' China tariffs to 25% net of somewhat lower
        commodity inflation expectations
    --  A modestly reduced expectation for organic volume growth which reflects
        a slower market outlook for industrial & emerging markets due to global
        macro conditions
    --  Offsetting these impacts are incremental pricing actions, benefits from
        the margin resiliency initiatives and the strong operational
        out-performance during the second quarter

Allan continued, "Stanley Black & Decker's outlook for 2019 includes above-market organic growth of 4%, adjusted earnings per share growth of 4% - 7% and strong free cash flow generation against an anticipated $390 million in external headwinds. The organization is focused on delivering earnings growth and margin expansion in 2019 and beyond by successfully leveraging our continued strong organic growth, pricing actions, $250 million cost reduction program and margin resiliency initiative to successfully navigate a dynamic operating environment.

"We believe the Company is well-positioned for sustained above-market organic growth with operating leverage, strong free cash flow conversion and top-quartile shareholder returns over the long-term."

The difference between 2019 GAAP and Adjusted EPS guidance is $1.00, consisting of acquisition-related and other charges. These forecasted charges primarily relate to deal and integration costs, restructuring, Security business transformation and margin enhancement initiatives, and inventory step-up amortization.

Merger And Acquisition ("M&A") Related And Other Charges

Total pre-tax M&A related and other charges in 2Q'19 were $32.9 million, primarily related to restructuring, deal and integration costs, as well as Security business transformation & margin enhancement initiatives. Gross margin included $10.7 million of these charges while SG&A included $26.6 million. Other, net and Restructuring included $4.5 million and $8.3 million of these charges, respectively. M&A related and other charges in 2Q'19 also included a pre-tax gain of $17.2 million related to the sale of Sargent & Greenleaf.

Share of net earnings of equity method investment included $10.2 million of charges related to an inventory step-up fair value adjustment.

Organic sales growth is defined as total sales growth less the sales of companies acquired and divested in the past twelve months and any foreign currency impacts. Operating margin is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management uses operating margin and its percentage of net sales as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income. The normalized statement of operations and business segment information, as reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 to 15, is considered relevant to aid analysis of the Company's margin and earnings results aside from the material impact of the M&A related and other charges.

              Working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and deferred revenue.



     
     (2)            Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important
                         measure of its
              liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions
              for mandatory debt
             service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items.
