On a year-over-year basis, highlights for the third quarter and year-to-date period include:
Third Quarter of 2011 (all comparisons versus the third quarter of 2010)
- Net income of $3.7 million (8 cents per share – basic and diluted); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $16.3 million (37 cents per share), an increase of 71.6%
- Net sales of $170.3 million, an increase of 28.6%; organic sales increase (as defined below) of 10.4%

- Third quarter orders of $174.8 million, an increase of 40.9%; organic order increase (as defined below) of 28.8%
- Backlog of $373.4 million at period end
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 (all comparisons versus the nine months ended October 1, 2010)
- Net income of $20.6 million (47 cents per share – basic and diluted); adjusted net income (as defined below) of $40.5 million (91 cents per share), an increase of 73.8%
- Net sales of $515.6 million, an increase of 37.4%; organic sales increase (as defined below) of 14.0%
- Operating income of $33.5 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $62.8 million, an increase of 59.8%
- Year-to-date 2011 orders of $529.4 million, an increase of 32.6%; organic order increase (as defined below) of 13.3%
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth and organic order growth are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). See below for a description of the measures' usefulness and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Clay Kiefaber, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to announce strong results for the third quarter. Sales growth was driven by broad-based strength in all of our end markets. Order growth exceeded our expectations as growth was robust in all of our end markets on both a total and organic basis. We continue to progress with our restructuring, focused on building a leaner, customer-centric organization that optimizes the potential of a unified Colfax team and expect to begin to realize the cost-savings from our strategic priority projects during 2012. The proposed acquisition of Charter International plc, which was announced during the quarter, will be a transformational acquisition for Colfax that will increase our scale, add a new growth platform and create a truly global industry leader. We are also excited about the balance it provides to our portfolio, which will have revenues approximately evenly distributed between fore- and aftermarket, emerging and developed economies, and short- and long-cycle businesses.
"During the third quarter, we also welcomed Steve Wittig to the organization as SVP of the Colfax Business System and Supply Chain Strategy. Steve is a critical addition to the leadership team and will lead our efforts in enhancing our CBS effectiveness and ensuring that our future leaders have the appropriate skill set to achieve sustained levels of excellence. He will also be responsible for taking our global supply chain strategy to the next level."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
Colfax has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, organic sales growth and organic order growth. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos liability and defense costs and asbestos coverage litigation expenses, restructuring and other related charges, and beginning in Q3 2011, charges related to the proposed Charter acquisition to the extent they impact the periods presented. As we are currently anticipating a reduction in our 2011 adjusted-basis effective tax rate from 32% to 30.5%, the effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share present income taxes are 30.5% and 28.2% for the year to date and Q3 periods of 2011, respectively, in comparison to 32% for both the year to date and Q3 periods of 2010. Organic sales growth and organic order growth exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of legacy asbestos issues, costs related to the Charter acquisition and items outside the control of its operating management team.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
