COLFAX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Third quarter net income per dilutive share of $0.15, adjusted net income per share of $0.24.
$50.0 million of additional cost reduction actions announced.
Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase of up to $100 million.

ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD - October 14, 2015 - Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX), a leading global manufacturer of gas- and fluid-handling and fabrication technology products and services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 25, 2015.
For the third quarter of 2015, net income was $18.4 million, or $0.15 per dilutive share. Adjusted net income (as defined below) was $29.5 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $71.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, or $0.57 per share.
Net sales were $969.1 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 16.8% from the prior year. Net sales decreased 6.5% organically compared to the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter operating income was $45.6 million, with adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $58.6 million. Operating expenses included $20.0 million of charges for uncollectible accounts, impairments, and other adjustments. Adjusted operating income margin (as defined below) was 6.0% in the third quarter.
Third quarter gas- and fluid-handling orders decreased by 17.6% to $444.2 million compared to orders of $539.4 million for the third quarter of 2014, an organic order decrease of 12.5%. Gas- and fluid-handling finished the period with backlog of $1,313.8 million.

For the nine months ended September 25, 2015 net income was $123.5 million, or $0.99 per dilutive share. Adjusted net income (as defined below) was $137.1 million, or $1.10 per share. Net sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2015 were $2.906 billion, a decrease of 15.0% compared to net sales for the nine months ended September 26, 2014. Operating income for the nine months ended September 25, 2015 was $219.6 million, with adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $245.2 million. Adjusted operating income margin (as defined below) for the nine months ended September 25, 2015 was 8.4%.
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, organic sales decrease and organic order 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.
Matthew Trerotola, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Third quarter performance fell short of expectations. Our Fabrication Technology segment continued to face weak end markets, and the declining volume and volatile market and currency movements in Latin America depressed margins. We are aggressively accelerating cost reduction programs in response to this cyclical downturn. By the end of 2016, we now expect to eliminate in excess of $100 million from our cost structure and reduce the workforce by approximately 1,500 compared to where we started 2015. In addition, the Board authorized a stock repurchase of up to $100 million, which speaks to our confidence in the outlook for long-term profitability. These actions should enable us to improve performance in the challenging market environment ahead while still investing in attractive growth opportunities.”





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, adjusted operating income margin, organic sales decrease and organic order decrease. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin exclude restructuring and other related charges. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share exclude the write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the refinancing of Colfax's credit agreement for the nine months ended September 25, 2015, and the preferred stock conversion inducement payment for the nine months ended September 26, 2014. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 27.5% and 28.5% for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 29.8% and 29.3% for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2014, respectively. Organic sales decrease and organic order 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 restructuring and other related charges, write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount, and the preferred stock conversion inducement payment.
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, October 14, 2015 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 57937552, 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.

APPENDIX


 
25 DISCLAIMER Colfax has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are projected adjusted net income, projected adjusted net income per share, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline). Projected adjusted net income, projected adjusted net income per share, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin exclude the impact of restructuring and other related charges. Projected adjusted net income, projected adjusted net income per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share for the nine months ended September 25, 2015 exclude the impact of the write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the refinancing of Colfax's credit agreement. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share for the nine months ended September 26, 2014 exclude the impact of the preferred stock conversion inducement payment. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 27.5% and 28.5% for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, respectively, and 29.8% and 29.3% for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2014, respectively. 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 restructuring and other related charges, write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount and the preferred stock conversion inducement payment. Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings order to refine these estimates.
