Lincoln Electric Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
Adjusted EPS increases 9% to $0.94
CLEVELAND, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
| Third Quarter 2014 Highlights |
|
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: LECO) today reported third quarter 2014 net income of $45.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, which includes rationalization and asset impairment charges of $29.1 million. This compares with net income of $66.0 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, in the comparable 2013 period. Adjusted net income was $74.9 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $71.1 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the comparable 2013 period.
Sales increased 3.5% to $715.8 million in the third quarter 2014 versus $691.9 million in the comparable 2013 period. Operating income for the third quarter decreased 20.0% to $76.1 million, or 10.6% of sales, from $95.2 million, or 13.8% of sales, in the comparable 2013 period. Adjusted operating income increased 3.7% to $105.2 million or 14.7% of sales, compared with $101.5 million, or 14.7% of sales in 2013.
Adjusted operating income excludes the effect of rationalization and asset impairment charges of $29.1 million. These non-cash asset impairment charges primarily related to a planned divestiture of manufacturing capacity in the Asia Pacific Welding segment of $32.4 million partially offset by net gains of $3.4 million primarily representing a gain on the sale of real estate. These actions are part of continuing strategic repositioning initiatives in the region to improve mix, profitability, and returns.
Christopher L. Mapes, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with the underlying quality of our earnings this quarter, which were driven by strong top-line growth and margin contributions from our North America Welding and Europe Welding segments. This performance more than offset a challenging year-over-year comparison from our Venezuela business. Looking ahead, improving end market trends and demand for our innovative solutions combined with benefits from our strategic initiatives and accelerated returns, position us well to continue to deliver value to all of our stakeholders."
Dividend and Share Repurchases
The Company's Board of Directors declared a 26% increase in the quarterly cash dividend, from $0.23 per share to $0.29, or to $1.16 per share on an annualized basis. The declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share is payable January 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2014.
During the quarter, the Company returned $130.1 million to shareholders through the repurchase of 1,867,204 of the Company's common shares. The Company has now increased its 2014 share repurchase target to $300 million of the Company's common shares.
Nine Months 2014 Summary
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $179.5 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, which includes rationalization and asset impairment charges of $29.9 million and charges of $21.1 million from Venezuelan foreign exchange remeasurement losses related to the adoption of a new foreign exchange mechanism in the first quarter. This compares with net income of $205.5 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, in 2013. Adjusted net income was $230.5 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $224.0 million, or $2.69 per diluted share, in 2013. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes earnings of $0.17 per diluted share from the Company's Venezuelan operations as compared to $0.24 per diluted share in the comparable 2013 period.
Sales remained relatively steady at $2.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the comparable 2013 period. This result reflects lower volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange translation being offset by pricing actions and acquisitions. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased to $268.8 million, or 12.6% of sales, compared to $288.1 million, or 13.5% of sales, in the comparable 2013 period. Adjusted operating income increased 3.7% to $319.9 million or 15.0% of sales, compared with $308.5 million, or 14.4% of sales in 2013. Operating income and Adjusted operating income include a $3.9 million gain, $2.5 million after-tax or $0.03 per diluted share, from an insurance settlement.
Adjusted operating income excludes the effect of rationalization and asset impairment charges of $29.9 million. Charges consist of non-cash asset impairment charges related to a planned divestiture of manufacturing capacity in the Asia Pacific Welding segment of $32.4 million partially offset by net gains of $2.5 million primarily representing a gain on the sale of real estate. These actions are part of continuing strategic repositioning initiatives in the region to improve mix, profitability, and returns.

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. Actual results may differ materially from such statements due to a variety of factors that could adversely affect the Company's operating results.
