DALLAS, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox (NYSE: LII), a leader in energy-efficient climate-control solutions, today reported fourth quarter record revenue of $1.09 billion in the quarter, up 13%. GAAP operating income was $132 million, up 35%. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.65, up 17%.

Total segment profit rose 30% to $132 million. Total segment margin was 12.1%, up 150 basis points. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations rose 12% to $2.63.

"Lennox once again delivered record revenue and profits fueled by growth across all three segments and solid execution on Commercial business profit recovery. Our Q4 margins expanded as pricing gains continued to outpace inflation," said CEO Alok Maskara. "We exit the year with positive margin momentum which positions us well for another record profit year in 2023."

In Residential, revenue and profit set new fourth quarter highs as revenue was up 13% and segment profit rose 8%. Segment margin was 16.9%, down 90 basis points, as pricing gains were partially offset by higher material costs and inefficiencies related to the regulatory SEER transition.

In Commercial, revenue was up 19% due to improved factory output and pricing gains. Segment profit rose 79%, and segment margin expanded 390 basis points to 11.6%.

In Refrigeration, revenue was up 5% as reported and up 10% at constant currency, led by price in North America. Segment profit rose 42%, and segment margin expanded 330 basis points to 12.5%.

FOURTH QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue was a fourth quarter record $1.09 billion, up 13% driven by volume and 9% price. Foreign exchange had a negative 1% impact on revenue.

Gross Profit: Gross profit was $285 million, up 12%. Gross margin was 26.1%, down 20 basis points, due primarily to higher material and factory costs which were primarily offset with price gains.

Net Income: On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $94.4 million, or $2.65 per share, compared to $83.5 million, or $2.27 per share, in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was $93.6 million, or $2.63 per share, compared to $86.7 million, or $2.35 per share, in the prior year quarter.

Cash from Operations, Free Cash Flow and Total Debt: Net cash from operations in the fourth quarter was $132 million compared to $119 million in the prior-year quarter. Capital expenditures were approximately $34 million in the fourth quarter compared to $38 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow was $98 million compared to $81 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Total debt at the end of the fourth quarter was $1.52 billion. Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $61 million at the end of the quarter.

Residential: Revenue in the Residential Heating & Cooling business segment was a fourth quarter record $703 million, up 13%. Segment profit was a fourth quarter record $119 million, up 8%. Segment margin was 16.9%, down 90 basis points with pricing and volume gains more than offset by unfavorable mix, material, and SG&A cost inflation.

Commercial: Revenue in the Commercial Heating & Cooling business segment was $241 million, up 19%. Segment profit was $28 million, up 79%. Segment margin expanded 390 basis points to 11.6% primarily driven by higher manufacturing output and price.

Refrigeration: Revenue in the Refrigeration business segment was $150 million, up 5%. Foreign exchange had a negative 5% impact on revenue growth. Segment profit rose 42% to $19 million. Segment margin expanded 330 basis points to 12.5% primarily driven by price.

FULL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue for the year was a record $4.72 billion, up 13%. Foreign exchange had a negative 1% impact on revenue.

Gross Profit: Gross profit was $1.28 billion, up 8%. Gross margin was 27.2%, down 110 basis points, primarily impacted by residential mix and inefficiencies related to global supply chain disruptions.

Net Income: On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for the year was $497 million, or $13.88 per share, compared to $464 million, or $12.39 per share, in the prior year.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations in 2022 was $504 million, or $14.07 per share, compared to $471 million, or $12.60 per share, in the prior year.

Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow: Net cash from operations in 2022 was $302 million compared to $516 million in the prior year as the company replenished finished goods inventory ahead of the minimum-efficiency regulatory changes and in raw material to increase supply chain resiliency. Capital expenditures were approximately $101 million in 2022 compared to $107 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $203 million compared to $410 million a year ago.

Residential: Revenue in the Residential Heating & Cooling business segment was a record $3.20 billion, up 15%. Segment profit was a record $597 million, up 10%. Segment margin was 18.7%, down 80 basis points, impacted by lower mix as manufacturing output of higher-end products remained constrained and supply chain challenges drove manufacturing inefficiencies.

Commercial: Revenue in the Commercial Heating & Cooling business segment was $901 million, up 4%. Segment profit was $81 million, down 27%. Segment margin contracted 380 basis points to 9.0% primarily driven by factory inefficiencies and lower sales volume.

Refrigeration: Revenue in the Refrigeration business segment was $619 million, up 12%. Foreign exchange had a negative 5% impact to revenue growth. Segment profit rose 60% to $79 million. Segment margin expanded 380 basis points to 12.7% primarily driven by price.
