DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2016. All comparisons are against the prior-year quarter unless otherwise noted.

Revenue for the third quarter was $1.01 billion, up 6%. Foreign exchange was neutral to revenue in the quarter. GAAP operating income increased 24% to a third-quarter record $157 million. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.33, up 32%. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.33, up 28%.

"Lennox International set new third-quarter records for operating margin and profit on strong revenue growth, led by our Residential business," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "We continued to drive significant margin expansion across all three of our businesses in the third quarter. Overall, total segment profit margin rose 190 basis points to a third-quarter record 15.6%.

"Our Residential business set third-quarter records for sales, margin and profit. Residential revenue was up 11% on strength in both replacement and new construction business. Residential profit rose 25% as segment margin expanded 230 basis points to 19.7%. Our Commercial business established new highs for margin and profit on 2% revenue growth. Commercial profit rose 9%, and segment margin expanded 130 basis points to 19.5%. In Refrigeration, profit rose 13% as segment margin expanded 160 basis points to 12.3%. Refrigeration revenue was down 2%, primarily on the timing of national account business and soft market conditions in Europe."

Looking ahead for the company overall, Bluedorn said, "As part of our ongoing strategy to de-risk the company's pension plan obligations, we expect to complete a one-time, lump sum pension buyout in the fourth quarter for certain vested participants. This action is expected to reduce the company's pension obligations by approximately $50 million. We expect to take a non-cash charge of approximately $20 million after-tax, and our updated 2016 guidance for GAAP EPS from continuing operations incorporates this.

"For adjusted EPS from continuing operations, we are raising 2016 guidance based on the company's strong operational performance and outlook, and we continue to expect strong margin expansion and profit growth as momentum continues."
