Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: LECO) today reported second quarter 2015 net income of $70.9 million, or $0.94 diluted earnings per share (EPS). This compares with net income of $77.3 million, or EPS of $0.96 in the comparable 2014 period. Adjusted net income was $71.8 million, or Adjusted EPS of $0.95, compared to $81.5 million, or Adjusted EPS of $1.01, in the comparable 2014 period. The 2014 adjusted EPS includes $0.04 of earnings from our Venezuelan operations, which operates in a hyper-inflationary environment. This compares with earnings of $0.02 per share from our Venezuelan operations in the second quarter 2015.
Sales decreased 8.8% to $664.7 million in the second quarter 2015 versus $728.5 million in the comparable 2014 period primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Operating income for the second quarter decreased 13.8% to $96.8 million, or 14.6% of sales, from $112.3 million, or 15.4% of sales, in the comparable 2014 period. Adjusted operating income decreased 15.9% to $98.0 million or 14.7% of sales, compared with $116.6 million, or 16.0% of sales in 2014. The Company recognized charges to interest expense of $2.1 million or $0.03 per diluted share, representing adjustments in the quarter to the amount expected to be paid to acquire additional interests of a majority-owned subsidiary. Income taxes in the quarter ending June 30, 2015 include discrete tax benefits of $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. Operating Income and Adjusted operating income in the second quarter 2014 included a $3.9 million gain, $2.5 million after-tax or $0.03 per diluted share, from an insurance settlement.
Christopher L. Mapes, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Business conditions were challenging in the quarter as growth in automation was offset by weaker oil and gas and U.S. export demand. We initiated a number of actions during the quarter to align our cost structure with softer market conditions, which helped generate modest sequential improvements in our profit margins and operating working capital ratio to net sales. While we remain cautious on 2015 demand trends, we continue to invest in our strategic programs and expect our efforts will help maximize profitability and shareholder returns through the economic cycle."
Dividend and Share Repurchases
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share, which was paid on July 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2015. During the quarter, the Company returned $55.6 million to shareholders through the repurchase of the Company's common shares.
Six Months 2015 Summary
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $139.3 million, or EPS of $1.82. This compares with net income of $133.8 million, or EPS of $1.65, in 2014. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $140.2 million, or Adjusted EPS of $1.83, compared with Adjusted net income of $155.6 million, or Adjusted EPS of $1.92, in 2014. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes earnings of $0.04 per diluted share from the Company's Venezuelan operations as compared with $0.18 per diluted share in the comparable 2014 period.
Sales decreased 6.4% to $1.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $1.4 billion in the comparable 2014 period.

Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "forecast," "guidance" or words of similar meaning.
