DALLAS, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2017. All comparisons are to the prior-year period.

For the second quarter, revenue was up 8% to a record $1.102 billion. Foreign exchange was neutral to revenue. GAAP operating income was a record $175 million, up 9%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a record $2.71, up 8%. On an adjusted basis, total segment profit increased 14% to a record $183 million, and total segment margin expanded 80 basis points to a record 16.6%. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations rose 12% to a record $2.83.

"Lennox International posted strong revenue and profit growth in a record quarter for the company," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "The company hit new all-time highs for revenue, total segment margin and profit, and earnings per share.

"In our Residential business, revenue was up 14% on strength in both replacement and new construction business. Segment margin expanded 130 basis points to 21.5%, and segment profit rose 21%. Our Residential business set new all-time highs for revenue, segment margin and profit. In our Commercial business, we have seen lumpy customer demand and mix in the first half of the year. After a record first quarter with strong growth in revenue, margin, and profit, Commercial revenue was up 3% at constant currency in the second quarter, with segment margin of 17.3% down 140 basis points and segment profit down 6% from the record second quarter a year ago. Looking ahead at the second half of the year, we expect Commercial revenue, margin and profit to be up from the prior-year period. In Refrigeration, second-quarter revenue was down 1%, driven by a decline in Europe. Revenue was up in North America, South America, Australia, and Asia. Refrigeration margin expanded 30 basis points to 11.4%, and segment profit rose 1%.

"Looking ahead for the company overall, we continue to expect strong growth for a year of record revenue and profit, led by the strength in our Residential business. Given the company's first-half performance and outlook for the second half, we are raising the low end of our 2017 guidance for revenue and adjusted EPS from continuing operations, and we plan $75 million more of stock repurchases in the second half of the year."

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements and segment net sales and profit presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables.  In addition to these non-GAAP measures, the Company also provides rates of revenue change at
     constant currency on a consolidated and segment basis if different than the reported  measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results.  The
     Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and operating performance.
