MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE: BGG) today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Todd J. Teske, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We were disappointed in the quarterly results. Lower shipments due to the Sears bankruptcy, weather-related softness particularly in Australia and Europe, and inefficiencies from start-up activities related to our business optimization initiatives tempered overall sales performance and reduced quarterly profitability more than previously expected. While incurring these elevated start-up costs were difficult from a financial performance perspective, they helped enable us to meet important customer delivery commitments on robust sales across commercial lines and position us well for long-term growth." Teske continued, "Actions are already underway to improve operating performance. Fulfillment levels in our service parts business have meaningfully improved, and we are now positioned to support demand during the peak season. Similarly, production of commercial Vanguard engines is increasing, following the on-shoring from our joint venture. Quality and performance for this line remain high, as closer proximity to our primary customer base is helping us win new business. Production is also increasing at our new facility for Ferris mowers and other commercial products. Growing conditions are favorable throughout much of North America and Europe, which set the stage for a more normal grass-cutting season. The much-needed additional capacity is also giving us the resources to meet the higher demand for our innovative commercial products. Taken together, we are well-positioned to regain momentum on delivering the business optimization program pre-tax savings of up to $40 million by fiscal 2021 and are confident that our strategic actions position us for improving trends in revenue growth, profitability and capital returns as we enter fiscal 2020 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Briggs & Stratton Corporation prepares its financial statements using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). When a company discloses material information containing non-GAAP financial measures, SEC regulations require that the disclosure include a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Management's inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures in this release is intended to supplement, not replace, the presentation of the financial results in accordance with GAAP. Briggs & Stratton Corporation management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the company's business trends and to understand the company's performance. In addition, management may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in the company's forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning process. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The following tables are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures:
