Q2 2013 Earnings Press Release


COLFAX REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
FULTON, MD - July 25, 2013 - Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2013. On a year-over-year basis, highlights for the second quarter and year-to-date period include:
Second Quarter of 2013 (all comparisons versus the second quarter of 2012)
Net income of $53.3 million ($0.52 per dilutive share); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $62.0 million ($0.56 per share, which includes a $0.02 per share gain related to the resolution of a previous tax position)
Net sales of $1.074 billion, an increase of 2.7% from Q2 2012 net sales (an organic decrease of 0.3%)
Operating income of $111.7 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $116.6 million
Second quarter gas- and fluid-handling orders of $478.2 million compared to orders of $534.5 million in Q2 2012, a decrease of 10.5% (an organic decrease of 10.0%)
Gas- and fluid-handling backlog of $1.388 billion at period end
Six Months Ended June 28, 2013 (all comparisons versus the six months ended June 29, 2012)
Net income of $75.9 million ($0.74 per dilutive share); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $95.5 million ($0.83 per share)
Net sales of $2.021 billion, an increase of 4.6% from net sales for the six months ended June 29, 2012 (an organic decrease of 1.4%)
Operating income of $184.0 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $194.8 million
Gas- and fluid-handling orders of $980.3 million, a decrease of 5.0% (an organic decrease of 7.3%)
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decrease) and organic order growth (decrease) 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 very pleased to report record operational results for the second quarter. The strong operating margins in both segments reflect the continued impact of our improvement plans. Although order growth in our long cycle gas- and fluid-handling business was impacted by trends specific to individual sectors, we anticipate solid growth in sales for this segment for the balance of 2013. Demand remained soft in the fabrication technology segment, but we continue to demonstrate that we can improve margins in the segment without sales growth. We continue to focus on acquisition opportunities to deploy funds we raised in our May equity offering.”  




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 (decrease) and organic order growth (decrease). Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos coverage litigation expense, restructuring and other related charges, expenses 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 28.2% and 29.0% for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, and 31% for both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2012. Organic sales growth (decrease) and organic order growth (decrease) exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate 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 insurance coverage issues, expenses and significant year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense related to the Charter acquisition and major restructuring programs.
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 Thursday, July 25, 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 18212399, 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 for the six months ended June 29, 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.

Adjusted net income per share for the six months ended June 28, 2013 excludes the impact of 12,173,291 common stock equivalent shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

APPENDIX


 
25 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, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline). Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos coverage litigation expense, expenses related to major restructuring programs and expenses and significant year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense related to the Charter acquisition, 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 28.2% and 29.0% for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, and 31% for both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2012. Organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate 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 insurance coverage issues and expenses, expenses and year-one fair value adjustment amortization expense related to the Charter acquisition and major restructuring programs. Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings order to refine these estimates.


 
26 NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION (unaudited) (1) The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 28.2% and 29.0% for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, and 31% for both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2012. (2) Adjusted net income per share for periods prior to April 23, 2013 were calculated consistently with the two-class method in accordance with GAAP as the Series A preferred stock were considered participating securities. Subsequent to April 23, 2013, adjusted net income per share was calculated consistently with the if- converted method in accordance with GAAP as the Series A preferred stock were no longer participating securities. Adjusted net income per share for the six months ended June 28, 2013 excludes the impact of 12,173,291 common stock equivalent shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. _____________________ Note: Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts.
