COLFAX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

First quarter net income per dilutive share of $0.18, adjusted net income per share of $0.30.
Results and market trends support current 2016 guidance range.
Cost reduction programs remain on schedule.

ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD - May 3, 2016 - 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 first quarter ended April 1, 2016.
For the first quarter of 2016, net income was $22.6 million, or $0.18 per dilutive share. Adjusted net income (as defined below) was $36.9 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $44.5 million for the first quarter of 2015, or $0.36 per share.
Net sales were $876.8 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 3.8% from the prior year. Net sales decreased 0.3% organically compared to the first quarter of 2015. First quarter operating income was $48.5 million, with adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $66.1 million. Adjusted operating income margin (as defined below) was 7.5% in the first quarter.
First quarter gas- and fluid-handling orders decreased by 8.8% to $407.6 million compared to orders of $446.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, an organic order decline of 9.3%. Gas- and fluid-handling finished the period with backlog of $1,135.3 million.
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, “We are pleased to report operating results that were in line with the expectations we discussed in December. We are making very good progress on our cost reduction initiatives, but our progress on growth initiatives continues to be largely offset by the choppy end market environment. While end market trends are mixed, solid performance in our shorter-cycle and aftermarket businesses is expected to largely offset the increased risk to project bookings for the balance of the year.”




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. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 29.0% and 29.5% for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 , 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.
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 Tuesday, May 3, 2016 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 75888280, 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.
