SPX Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results

Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations of $0.78; Adjusted Earnings Per Share* of $1.11
Raises 2010 EPS Guidance Range, on an Adjusted Basis*, to $3.45 to $3.60 from $3.30 to $3.50 Per Share

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today reported results for the third quarter ended October 2, 2010:

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenues increased 9.9% to $1.29 billion from $1.17 billion in the year-ago quarter. Organic revenues* increased 6.8%, completed acquisitions increased reported revenues by 4.8%, and the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 1.7%.
  • Segment income and margins were $157.8 million and 12.2%, compared with $156.4 million and 13.3% in the year-ago quarter.
  • Diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $0.78, compared with $0.98 in the year-ago quarter. The current-year quarter included charges of $25.6 million, or $0.33 per share, associated with the early termination of debt and related interest rate swap agreements.
  • Adjusted net income per share from continuing operations, which excludes the impact of the debt termination charges noted above, was $1.11, compared to the company's guidance of $1.00 to $1.10.
  • Net cash from continuing operations was $20.5 million, compared with $208.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The current quarter net cash from continuing operations included cash usage of $24.5 million for the early termination of debt and associated interest rate swap agreements. The remaining decline in cash flow was due primarily to an increase in working capital, which was partially offset by lower spending on restructuring.
  • Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations* during the quarter, which excludes the cash paid in connection with the early debt termination noted above, was $32.9 million, compared with $194.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was due primarily to the items noted above, partially offset by lower capital expenditures in 2010.

"The third quarter results marked our strongest operating performance of the year. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share increased 13% over the third quarter of 2009. We reported overall organic revenue growth for the first time since Q4 2008. The growth was broad-based across our four reporting segments and key geographies. It reflected strong demand in many of our early cycle businesses, growth in emerging markets and solid project execution," said Christopher J. Kearney, President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SPX.

"Sales into emerging markets were strong again in Q3, accounting for 26% of our total revenue. We also took some key strategic actions that we expect will improve our global capabilities and enhance our long-term competitive position. One was the completion of the Anhydro acquisition during the quarter. Anhydro is a leading supplier of custom engineered food and beverage processing systems, and represents an excellent strategic fit into our Flow Technology segment, broadening our food and beverage systems capabilities. Another was the refinancing of a significant portion of our outstanding debt during the quarter, capitalizing on favorable market conditions and increasing our financial flexibility."

"Recovery in our key markets is progressing largely in line with our expectations. In Q3, we were encouraged by sustained momentum in our early cycle businesses. We also saw modest signs of improvement in some of our late cycle power and energy businesses. Order trends were positive, both sequentially and year over year, for many of our businesses in the quarter, and our backlog increased 8% sequentially."

"Looking at the outlook for the full year, we have raised our adjusted earnings per share guidance range to $3.45 to $3.60 per share from the previous range of $3.30 to $3.50 per share. Our adjusted free cash flow guidance remains at $180 to $220 million and we expect to generate the majority of our annual free cash flow in the fourth quarter," Kearney said.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Flow Technology

Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $438.6 million compared to $406.0 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $32.6 million, or 8.0%. Organic revenues increased 1.2%, driven primarily by project execution and demand in industrial end markets. The 2010 acquisitions of Anhydro and Gerstenberg Schroeder increased reported revenues by 8.3%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 1.5%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $58.2 million, or 13.3% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $49.6 million, or 12.2% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in segment income and margins was due primarily to favorable product mix in the organic revenue growth noted above and benefits from restructuring actions taken in 2009 and other operating initiatives. The acquisitions of Anhydro and Gerstenberg Schroeder diluted segment margins by 80 basis points.

Test and Measurement

Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $227.6 million compared to $187.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $40.0 million, or 21.3%. Organic revenues increased 23.5%, driven primarily by increased sales of diagnostic and service tools to vehicle manufacturers and their dealer service networks. The impact of currency fluctuations decreased revenues by 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $17.8 million, or 7.8% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $12.9 million, or 6.9% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in segment income and margins was due primarily to the impact of the organic revenue growth noted above and the benefits from restructuring actions taken in 2009 and other operating initiatives.

Thermal Equipment and Services

Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $440.1 million compared to $401.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $38.7 million, or 9.6%. Organic revenues increased 6.6% in the quarter, driven primarily by increased sales of cooling systems and heat exchangers in emerging regions. The December 2009 SPX Heat Transfer Inc. acquisition increased reported revenues by 5.1%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 2.1%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $60.2 million, or 13.7% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $59.2 million, or 14.7% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in segment income was due primarily to the organic revenue growth noted above. The decline in segment margins was due primarily to unfavorable project mix. The SPX Heat Transfer Inc. acquisition diluted segment margins by 40 basis points.

Industrial Products and Services

Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $183.5 million compared to $178.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $4.9 million, or 2.7%. Organic revenues increased 2.2% in the quarter, as growth in solar crystal growers, hydraulic tools and communications systems offset pricing declines for power transformers. Completed acquisitions increased reported revenues by 0.8%, while the impact of currency fluctuations decreased reported revenues by 0.3%, from the year-ago quarter.

Segment income was $21.6 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $34.7 million, or 19.4% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in segment income and margins was due primarily to the impact of the pricing decline in power transformers, which was only partially offset by the organic revenue growth noted above.
