SPX TECHNOLOGIES, INC. CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2014. In a separate press release, SPX also announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of its Flow business into a new standalone, publicly traded company.
Third Quarter 2014 Overview:
-- Revenues increased 1.1% to $1.16 billion from $1.15 billion in the
year-ago quarter. Organic revenues* increased 1.5%, driven by growth in
the Thermal and Industrial segments. This growth was partially offset by
a $13 million decline in revenue associated with the continued ramp down
of the power projects in South Africa. Currency fluctuations decreased
revenues by 0.4%.
-- Segment income and margins improved to $139.7 million and 12.1%,
compared to $129.5 million and 11.3% in the year-ago quarter.
-- Diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $1.52, up 7%
as compared to $1.42 in the year-ago quarter.
-- On an adjusted basis, Q3 2014 diluted income from continuing operations*
was $1.62 per share. This excludes a $4.0 million, or $0.10 per share,
charge related to incremental state income taxes associated with the
gain on the sale of the company's joint venture interest in EGS
initially recorded in Q1 2014.
-- Net cash generated from continuing operations was $33.0 million and
included $62.6 million of income tax payments associated with gains on
asset sales. In the year-ago quarter, net cash generated from continuing
operations was $148.8 million.
-- Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations* was $77.8 million,
compared to $140.8 million in the year-ago quarter.
"During the third quarter, adjusted earnings per share increased 14% over the prior year. Segment income margins expanded 80 points, marking our sixth consecutive quarter with year-over-year margin improvement and highlighted by our Flow segment, where income increased 17% and margins improved 250 points to 15.3%," said Chris Kearney, Chairman, President and CEO of SPX.
Kearney continued, "During the quarter, we had very strong bookings in our Thermal segment and power transformer business, while order trends across our short cycle businesses remained steady. In Flow, large capital order placement was lighter than we anticipated in Q3 due primarily to customer timing. We continue to see strong quoting activity for large capital projects and have been particularly encouraged by a strong pick-up in order placement at the outset of the fourth quarter in Flow's power and energy business."
"In addition, we continued to return capital to shareholders by completing $140 million of share repurchases during the quarter. As of today, we have completed over 95% of the $500 million share repurchase plan entered into at the end of 2013. We expect to complete this plan in early November."
"Looking at the full year, we are now targeting 0% to 1% revenue growth and 80 points of margin expansion. And we updated our adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance range to $5.25 to $5.50 from the previous range of $5.00 to $5.50 per share, an increase of $0.13 per share at the mid-point."
"From a strategic perspective, we announced today that we plan to spin-off our Flow business in a tax-free transaction that will result in two independent publicly traded companies. We are very excited about this action and believe the spin-off will provide both future companies greater flexibility to pursue their respective growth strategies, enabling them to create significant value for shareholders, customers and employees," Kearney concluded.
CONTINUING OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
Flow Technology
Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $638.5 million, compared to $651.6 million in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $13.1 million, or 2.0%. Organic revenues* declined 2.0% due primarily to lower sales of power and energy pumps.
Segment income was $97.5 million, or 15.3% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $83.1 million, or 12.8% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in segment income and margin was driven primarily by the segment's power and energy business where profitability improved sharply due to improved operational performance, a favorable sales mix, and cost reductions associated with restructuring actions.
Thermal Equipment and Services
Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $338.8 million, compared to $324.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $14.7 million, or 4.5%. Organic revenues* increased 6.2%, while currency fluctuations decreased revenues by 1.7%. The organic revenue growth was driven by increased sales of cooling equipment and personal comfort heating products in North America. This increase more than offset a $13.1 million decline in revenue associated with the large power projects in South Africa, which continued to ramp down.
Segment income was $23.2 million, or 6.8% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $21.7 million, or 6.7% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in segment income and margin was driven by the organic revenue growth described above as well as cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives. These increases were partially offset by lower income and margin on the large power projects in South Africa.
Industrial Products and Services and Other
Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $180.8 million, compared to $170.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $10.7 million, or 6.3%. Organic revenues* increased 5.8% and currency fluctuations increased revenues by 0.5%. The organic revenue growth was driven primarily by increased shipments of power transformers in the U.S., partially offset by a sharp decline in sales of fare collection systems, due in large part to project timing and some customer uncertainty regarding the availability of government funding.
Income was $19.0 million, or 10.5% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $24.7 million, or 14.5% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in income and margin was due primarily to a significant decline in fare collection system sales and profit. Margins were also impacted by the increased mix of lower margin power transformer sales.
