OAK BROOK, Ill., Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE:FSS), a leader in environmental and safety solutions, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
-- Net sales of $309 million, up $39 million, or 15%, from last year
-- Operating income of $38.6 million, up $8.2 million, or 27%, from last
year
-- GAAP EPS of $0.46, up $0.10, or 28%, from last year
-- Adjusted EPS of $0.47, up $0.11, or 31%, from last year
-- Orders of $329 million, up $61 million, or 23%, from last year

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter were $308.8 million, up $39.4 million, or 15%, versus the same quarter a year ago. Net income for the third quarter was $28.4 million, equal to $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $21.7 million, equal to $0.36 per share, in the prior-year quarter.
The Company also reported adjusted net income for the third quarter of $28.9 million, equal to $0.47 per diluted share, up from $21.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the third quarter of last year. The Company is reporting adjusted results to facilitate comparisons of underlying performance on a year-over-year basis. A reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures is provided at the conclusion of this news release.
Impressive Q3 Results Reflect Significant Increases in Sales, Orders and Earnings
"Our third-quarter operating results benefited from seasonally-strong performance at many of our businesses," commented Jennifer L. Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our third-quarter earnings also included the effects of a low tax rate, which added approximately $0.02 to our EPS, and better-than-expected accretion from MRL. With the team's intense focus on execution of our strategic initiatives and contributions from MRL, we reported double-digit growth in both net sales and orders, and our operating income was up 27% year-over-year. Each of our groups delivered improved adjusted EBITDA margin performance towards the high end of our target ranges, translating to a consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin in excess of 16%."
In the Environmental Solutions Group, net sales for the third quarter were $254.0 million, up $37.7 million, or 17%, compared to the prior-year quarter, while in the Safety and Security Systems Group, net sales of $54.8 million were up $1.7 million, or 3%.
Consolidated operating income for the third quarter was $38.6 million, up $8.2 million, or 27%, compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by a $7.6 million increase within the Environmental Solutions Group. Consolidated operating margin was 12.5%, up from 11.3% in the prior-year quarter.
Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the third quarter was $49.8 million, up $10.1 million, or 25%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.1%, compared to 14.7% last year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Environmental Solutions Group was $46.0 million, up $9.3 million, or 25%, from the prior-year quarter, and its adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.1%, up from 17.0%. Within the Safety and Security Systems Group, adjusted EBITDA was $9.4 million, up $0.7 million, or 8%, from the prior-year quarter, and its adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.2%, up from 16.4%.
Consolidated orders for the third quarter were $328.8 million, up $60.7 million, or 23%, compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to order growth of $55.7 million, or 26%, within the Environmental Solutions Group. Consolidated backlog at September 30, 2019 was $367 million, up $46 million, or 14%, compared to last year.
New Credit Facility Further Strengthens Our Financial Position, Providing Additional Financial Flexibility to Fund Growth Opportunities
Net cash of $33 million was provided by operating activities during the third quarter, increasing year-to-date operating cash generation to $59 million. At September 30, 2019, consolidated debt was $249 million, total cash and cash equivalents were $36 million and the Company had $240 million of availability for borrowings under its new credit facility, which was executed during the third quarter.
"Despite some large cash outflows this quarter, which we had anticipated, our current financial position is stronger than ever," said Sherman. "With the new credit facility that we executed during the quarter, our healthy cash generation, and our low debt leverage, we have significant financial flexibility to invest in organic growth initiatives and pursue strategic acquisitions, like MRL."
The Company also funded dividends of $4.9 million during the third quarter, reflecting a dividend of $0.08 per share, and the Board of Directors recently declared a similar dividend that will be payable in the fourth quarter.
Outlook
"Our year-over-year organic order growth this quarter was $21 million, or 8%, driven by ongoing traction on our strategic initiatives and current favorable end-market conditions," Sherman noted. "With our impressive third quarter results and the strength of our backlog, we are raising our 2019 adjusted EPS* outlook to a new range of $1.70 to $1.76, from a range of $1.64 to $1.72. The new range equates to a year-over-year improvement of between 21% and 25%."

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This release contains unaudited financial information and various forward-looking statements as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements regardless of new developments or otherwise. Statements in this release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from those stated. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: economic conditions in various regions; product and price competition; supplier and raw material prices; risks associated with acquisitions such as integration of operations and achieving anticipated revenue and cost benefits; foreign currency exchange rate changes; interest rate changes; increased legal expenses and litigation results; legal and regulatory developments and other risks and uncertainties described in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
* Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure, which includes certain adjustments to reported GAAP net income and diluted EPS. Our outlook assumes certain adjustments to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related expenses and purchase accounting effects, where applicable. In 2018, we also made adjustments to exclude the impact of hearing loss settlement charges and special tax items, where applicable. Should any similar items occur during 2019, we would expect to exclude them from the determination of adjusted EPS. However, because of the underlying uncertainty in quantifying amounts which may not yet be known, a reconciliation of our Adjusted EPS outlook to the most applicable GAAP measure is excluded based on the unreasonable efforts exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B). In addition, to facilitate comparisons with prior periods, when reporting our interim and annual non-GAAP results in 2019, we are adjusting our previously-issued non-GAAP results for 2018 to exclude the recognition of a deferred gain, which will no longer occur in 2019 following the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. On this basis, Adjusted EPS for 2018 would have been $1.41. See Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the associated non-GAAP reconciliation.

SEC REGULATION G NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
The financial measures presented below are unaudited and are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations below, and to provide an additional measure of performance which management considers in operating the business.
Impact of New Lease Accounting Standard on Non-GAAP Measures:
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, which resulted in a change to the Company's recognition of the deferred gain associated with historical sale lease-back transactions. Prior to 2019, the deferred gain, which initially totaled $29.0 million, was being recognized through the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the 15-year lease term. As a result, approximately $1.9 million of the deferred gain had been recognized each year since 2008, of which approximately $1.1 million and $0.8 million had been recognized within the Environmental Solutions Group and Safety and Security Systems Group, respectively. Effective in 2019, the Company no longer recognizes any portion of the gain through the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and recognized the remaining deferred gain balance, net of the related deferred tax asset, as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. To facilitate comparisons with prior periods, we have revised our previously-issued non-GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to exclude the recognition of this deferred gain.
Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share ("EPS"):
The Company believes that modifying its 2019 and 2018 net income and diluted EPS provides additional measures which are representative of the Company's underlying performance and improves the comparability of results across reporting periods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 adjustments were made to reported GAAP net income and diluted EPS to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related expenses, purchase accounting effects and hearing loss settlement charges, where applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net sales ("adjusted EBITDA margin"), at both the consolidated and segment level, as additional measures which are representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. We believe that investors use versions of these metrics in a similar manner. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, at both the consolidated and segment level, are meaningful metrics to investors in evaluating the Company's underlying financial performance.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of net income, interest expense, hearing loss settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of net income, interest expense, hearing loss settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense divided by net sales for the applicable period(s).
Segment adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, purchase accounting effects and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, purchase accounting effects and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s). Segment operating income includes all revenues, costs and expenses directly related to the segment involved. In determining segment income, neither corporate nor interest expenses are included. Segment depreciation and amortization expense relates to those assets, both tangible and intangible, that are utilized by the respective segment.
Other companies may use different methods to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.
