SPX Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results


Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations of $1.40; Adjusted Earnings Per Share* of $1.00
Raises 2010 EPS Guidance Range to $3.30 to $3.50*, on an Adjusted Basis, From $3.00 to $3.30 Per Share

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug 04, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today reported results for the second quarter ended July 3, 2010:

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenues were $1.19 billion, a decrease of 0.3% compared to the year-ago quarter. Organic revenues* declined 2.0%, completed acquisitions increased reported revenues by 3.2%, and the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 1.5%.
  • Segment income and margins were $135.5 million and 11.4%, compared with $135.9 million and 11.4% in the year-ago quarter.
  • Diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $1.40, compared with $0.80 in the year-ago quarter. The current-year quarter included net tax benefits of $20.0 million, or $0.40 per share, related to the audits of the company's 2006 and 2007 U.S. income tax returns.
  • Adjusted net income per share from continuing operations, which excludes the impact of the net tax benefits noted above, was $1.00, compared to the company's guidance of $0.65 to $0.75.
  • Net cash from continuing operations was $47.6 million, compared with $61.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline in cash flow was due primarily to an increase in working capital, which more than offset the lower spending on restructuring.
  • Free cash flow from continuing operations* during the quarter was $35.8 million, compared with $32.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was due primarily to the items noted above, in addition to lower capital expenditures in 2010.

"We are pleased to report that second quarter adjusted earnings per share increased 25% over the prior year period. We attribute this primarily to the improved results in our Thermal Equipment and Services and Test and Measurement segments and lower restructuring expenses this year. These improvements more than offset declines in the results of other businesses, most notably our transformer business," said Christopher J. Kearney, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPX.

"Our focus on expansion in emerging markets continues to play a critical role in creating revenue opportunities. In the second quarter, more than 25% of our revenue was generated from sales into emerging regions, driven particularly by sales into China which grew more than 50% year-over-year. Based on the strength of our second quarter results, we are raising our adjusted earnings per share guidance range for the year to $3.30 to $3.50 per share from the previous range of $3.00 to $3.30.

"2010 is progressing much as we had anticipated with recovery in our mid-to-late cycle businesses, particularly power and energy, continuing to lag the improvement we are seeing in many of our early cycle businesses. Although the timing and pace of recovery remains uncertain in our three strategic markets, we believe we are well positioned for growth as they recover. We expect our recent strategic actions will enhance our competitive position," Kearney said.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Flow Technology

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $383.4 million compared to $396.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 3.2%. Organic revenues declined 6.0%, driven primarily by softness in the oil and gas market and lower demand for large-scale systems in the food and beverage market. The February 2010 acquisition of Gerstenberg Schroeder increased reported revenues by 3.8%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 1.0%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $45.2 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $48.5 million, or 12.2% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009. The decline in segment income was due primarily to the impact of the organic revenue decline noted above. This decline was offset partially by the benefits from restructuring actions taken in 2009 and other operating initiatives. The decline in segment margins was due primarily to the impact from the acquisition of Gerstenberg Schroeder.

Test and Measurement

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $239.9 million compared to $207.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $32.3 million, or 15.6%. Organic revenues increased 17.8%, driven primarily by increased sales of diagnostic and service tools to vehicle manufacturers and their dealer service networks and an increase in sales of fare-collection systems. The impact of currency fluctuations decreased revenues by 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $23.7 million, or 9.9% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $13.3 million, or 6.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in segment income and margins was due primarily to the impact of the organic revenue increase noted above and benefits from restructuring actions taken in 2009.

Thermal Equipment and Services

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $393.1 million compared to $368.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $24.2 million, or 6.6%. Organic revenues increased 3.3% in the quarter, driven primarily by project timing for cooling systems. The December 2009 SPX Heat Transfer Inc. acquisition increased reported revenues by 5.9%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 2.6%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $48.9 million, or 12.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $27.5 million, or 7.5% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in segment income and margins was due primarily to strong project execution, a favorable project mix and the incremental profits from SPX Heat Transfer.

Industrial Products and Services

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $173.3 million compared to $220.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $47.5 million, or 21.5%. Organic revenues declined 21.9% in the quarter, driven primarily by volume and pricing declines for power transformers. Completed acquisitions increased reported revenues by 0.6%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 0.2%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $17.7 million, or 10.2% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $46.6 million, or 21.1% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in segment income and margins was due primarily to the impact of the organic revenue decline in transformers.
