Q4 2012 Earnings Press Release


COLFAX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012 RESULTS
FULTON, MD - February 6, 2013 - Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. On a year-over-year basis, highlights for the fourth quarter and full year period include:
Fourth Quarter of 2012 (all comparisons versus the fourth quarter of 2011)
After $15.6 million of pre-tax year-one acquisition-related amortization expense, net income of $14.7 million (13 cents per share); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $50.5 million (42 cents per share), which includes a non-cash 9 cents per share gain related to a discrete deferred tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter
Net sales of $1.03 billion, organic sales decrease (as defined below) of 2.5% from fourth quarter 2011 proforma net sales (includes the comparable period sales for the operations acquired in the Charter acquisition)
Operating income of $52.2 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $88.9 million
Operating cash flows of $163.2 million, including improved inventory management which also resulted in a negative impact on adjusted operating income due to under-absorption from lower production levels
Fourth quarter gas- and fluid-handling orders of $520.3 million, an increase of 4.3%; organic order increase (as defined below) of 1.9%
Gas- and fluid-handling backlog of $1.4 billion at period end
Full Year 2012 (all comparisons versus full year 2011)
After pre-tax expenses of $78.2 million of year-one acquisition-related amortization expense and $43.6 million of Charter acquisition-related expense, a net loss of $83.4 million (92 cents per share); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $159.8 million ($1.34 per share), which includes a non-cash 12 cents per share gain related to discrete deferred tax benefits recorded in the third and fourth quarters
Net sales of $3.9 billion, an increase of 1.9% from the full year 2011 proforma net sales (includes the comparable period sales for the operations acquired in the Charter acquisition); organic sales increase (as defined below) of 5.3%
Operating income of $140.0 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $334.9 million
Gas- and fluid-handling orders of $2.0 billion, an increase of 3.7%; organic order increase (as defined below) of 2.8%
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). See below for a description of the measures' usefulness and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Steve Simms, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the progress made in the fourth quarter on our improvement plans and growth initiatives, though actual results fell short of our targets. Although we had solid results in our long cycle gas- and fluid-handling business, revenues decreased in comparison to the very strong proforma 2011 fourth quarter. However, cost control and the benefit of previous restructuring initiatives resulted in profit margins for this business in line with our expectations. Volumes in our shorter cycle fabrication technology business continued to be negatively impacted by the challenging global economy, and adjusted operating margins were negatively impacted by specific items that are largely expected to positively impact the business in future periods. We believe that the increased orders during the quarter in our gas- and fluid-handling business, the Soldex acquisition and the specific actions taken during 2012, including our restructuring programs, position Colfax well moving into 2013.”  




Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
Colfax has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos coverage litigation expense, restructuring and other related charges, charges related to the Charter acquisition and fair value adjustments related to the ESAB and Howden inventory and backlog amortization expense to the extent they impact the periods presented. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 15% and 25% for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and 30.5% for both the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. Proforma organic sales growth and proforma organic order growth represent the proforma comparison of the change in existing businesses that includes the operations acquired in the Charter Acquisition for the comparable prior period (which excludes the results of operations acquired in the Charter Acquisition for the first 12 days of each year to date reporting period) excluding the impact due to acquisitions made by Colfax and Charter and foreign currency fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of asbestos coverage litigation, costs related to the Charter acquisition, major restructuring programs and significant year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
Conference Call and Webcast
Colfax will host a conference call to provide details about its results on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 8:00 a.m. EDT. The call will be open to the public through 877-303-7908 (U.S. callers) or 678-373-0875 (international callers) and referencing the conference ID number 92180966 , or through webcast via Colfax's website at www.colfaxcorp.com under the “Investors” section. Access to a supplemental slide presentation can also be found at the Colfax website under the same heading. Both the audio of this call and the slide presentation will be archived on the website later today and will be available until the next quarterly call.

__________
(1) Provision for income taxes the year ended December 31, 2012 was significantly impacted by the reassessment of certain deferred tax assets as of the date of the Charter acquisition, which resulted in an increase in the Company's valuation allowance, and the Charter acquisition-related expenses that are either not deductible for tax purposes or were incurred in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized.

(2) Income tax provision for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31,2012 includes a $9.9 million gain and $12.8 million gain, respectively, from discrete deferred tax benefits recorded to reflect lower tax rates enacted in Sweden during the fourth quarter and the United Kingdom during the third quarter.

25 Appendix


 
26 Disclaimer Colfax has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, projected adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline). Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, projected adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos coverage litigation expense, expenses related to major restructuring programs or any additional structural changes announced in the future, expenses related to the Charter acquisition and significant year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 15% and 25% for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and 30.5% for both the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. Projected adjusted earnings per share was calculated using a 31% effective tax rate for 2013. Organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) exclude the impact of bolt-on acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations and are presented on a proforma basis (the proforma comparison includes the 2011 sales and orders for Howden and ESAB, excluding the first 12 days of the year to date reporting period). These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of asbestos insurance coverage issues, costs related to the Charter acquisition, major restructuring programs and significant year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense. Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings order to refine these estimates.
