Unaudited Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2016 Highlights
(Amounts in millions, except per share data and percentages)
Third Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended 8/27/16 8/29/15 Change 8/27/16 8/29/15 Change Net sales $ 331.4 $ 357.6 -7 % $ 1,012.6 $ 1,108.5 -9 % Operating profit 50.7 50.4 1 % 136.4 148.6 -8 % Net earnings - CLC 35.7 36.4 -2 % 110.3 101.7 8 % Diluted EPS $ 0.73 $ 0.72 1 % $ 2.25 $ 2.00 13 % Operating margin 15.3 % 14.1 % 1.2pts 13.5 % 13.4 % 0.1ptsCLARCOR Inc. (NYSE: CLC) reported that its third quarter diluted earnings per share were $0.73, a $0.01 increase from the third quarter of 2015. Higher diluted earnings per share were positively impacted by a 1.2 percentage point improvement in operating margin which more than offset the impact of a 7% reduction in net sales. Diluted earnings per share of $0.72 in last year’s third quarter were favorably impacted by approximately $0.15 from the net gain on the disposition of the packaging business, J.L. Clark, which occurred in last year’s third quarter, and unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.09 from the impairment of the BioProcess investments noted below. Excluding the aggregate impact of these two items, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share increased $0.07, or 11%, from the third quarter of 2015, as reflected in the table on the next page.
To allow investors to better compare and evaluate our historical financial performance, we are presenting non-GAAP adjusted financial results in the table following this paragraph. Non-GAAP adjusted financial results for the third quarter of 2016 exclude a favorable $0.1 million net adjustment for upfront expenses for cost reduction initiatives. Non-GAAP adjusted financial results for the third quarter of 2015 exclude the financial results of our J.L. Clark packaging business disposed of on June 27, 2015, a net gain on the sale of such packaging business, and the impairment loss related to our BioProcess H2O and Algae investments. Please refer to pages 13 through 16 of this earnings release for reconciliations and additional information with respect to non-GAAP adjusted financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015 and 2016.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Results:
Third Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended 8/27/16 8/29/15 Change 8/27/16 8/29/15 Change Adjusted net sales $ 331.4 $ 352.2 -6 % $ 1,012.6 $ 1,067.6 -5 % Adjusted operating profit 50.6 50.5 0 % 138.5 146.4 -5 % Adjusted net earnings - CLC 35.7 33.1 8 % 93.4 97.1 -4 % Adjusted diluted EPS $ 0.73 $ 0.66 11 % $ 1.90 $ 1.91 -1 % Adjusted operating margin 15.3 % 14.3 % 1.0 pts 13.7 % 13.7 % 0.0 ptsChris Conway, CLARCOR’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter was highlighted by several significant strategic advancements including our entry into a long-term contract with GE in respect of its H-class gas turbine platform, our release of the Channel Flow EXOTM heavy-duty engine air filtration product line and strategic investments occurring in connection with our second quarter acquisition of filtration media technology company FibeRio. Each of these strategic advancements is indicative of our continued efforts to establish CLARCOR as an industry leader in innovative filtration technology development. We provide additional detail for each of these initiatives later in this release. In addition to this focus on long-term strategic growth, we have continued to focus on operating execution as illustrated by our third quarter financial results. Diluted earnings per share improved $0.01 from last year’s third quarter despite the third quarter of 2015 being favorably influenced by approximately $0.06 on a net basis from the J.L. Clark disposition and the impairment of our BioProcess investments. Third quarter 2016 operating margin improved 1.2 percentage points from last year’s third quarter which more than offset the impact of a 7% reduction in net sales.
“The $7 million, or 5%, decline in net sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment from last year’s third quarter was partially driven by lower average foreign currency exchange rates which negatively influenced net sales by $2 million, or 2%. The remaining $5 million net sales decline was primarily due to lower sales to a large retail customer, lower sales into the U.S. independent aftermarket and lower sales to the automotive filtration market, partially offset by higher fuel filtration product sales to off-road agricultural and construction equipment markets. We believe lower third quarter net sales to the large retail customer were due in part to a strategic reorganization taking place at this customer, and we expect our filtration sales to such customer to recover in the fourth quarter. Lower third quarter net sales into the U.S. independent aftermarket compared to last year’s third quarter was heavily impacted by continued declines in heavy-duty engine filtration sales into oil & gas markets. We believe these lower sales could continue into our fourth quarter and early fiscal 2017. Higher fuel filtration product sales to off-road markets in the third quarter were partly due to more stable demand in these end-markets compared to this period last year and partly due to Lean operational improvements introduced this year which enabled us to work through an accumulation of past due customer shipments in the third quarter. Although we do not anticipate significant sales growth in these off-road fuel filtration markets in our fourth quarter or the first half of fiscal 2017, these end markets have shown signs of stabilization.
“The $14 million, or 7%, net sales reduction in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment from last year’s third quarter was partially driven by lower average foreign currency exchange rates which negatively influenced net sales by $3 million, or 2%. The remaining $11 million reduction was primarily the result of lower natural gas and industrial air and liquid filtration sales, partially offset by higher HVAC and gas turbine filtration sales, as well as additional sales resulting from the acquisition of TDC Filter Manufacturing completed in the first quarter of 2016. Natural gas filtration sales declined approximately $16 million, or 26%, from last year’s third quarter driven by a 51% reduction in capital vessel sales which was partially offset by a 5% increase in aftermarket filtration sales. Similar to recent prior quarters, a majority of the year-over-year decline in natural gas vessel sales was driven by lower activity in the U.S., where we benefited from natural gas shale extraction infrastructure projects in prior years. As we will further discuss in our updated earnings guidance, the momentum in our oil & gas markets is not favorable. Significant projects continue to be delayed, and we believe--due to industry as opposed to competitive dynamics--that capital vessel filtration sales into these end markets will continue to decline in our fourth quarter and into fiscal 2017. Sales of HVAC filtration products increased $4 million, or 14%, from last year’s third quarter primarily due to continued higher sales into the Middle East. Net sales into our gas turbine filtration market increased $3 million, or 16%, from last year’s third quarter as first-fit sales increased 32% and aftermarket sales increased 6%. Overall, our gas turbine filtration product sales in the first nine months of 2016 have increased 16% from the same period last year.
“Our third quarter operating margin of 15.3% increased 1.2 percentage points from last year’s third quarter. This increase was driven by a 1.0 percentage point improvement in gross margin percentage and a 0.2 percentage point reduction in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Higher gross margin percentage compared to last year’s third quarter was primarily driven by lower material cost as a percentage of net sales, partly offset by lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs from lower net sales. The reduction in material cost as a percentage of net sales was the result of lower commodity costs, favorable sales mix and our company-wide purchasing cost reduction initiative. Selling and administrative expenses declined approximately $6 million from the third quarter of 2015. This reduction was primarily driven by $3 million lower headcount-related costs and $3 million lower bad debt expense from improved past due accounts receivable collections.
“Our favorable operating margin performance compared to last year’s third quarter is indicative of the strides we are making with both our cost reduction initiative program and our on-going Lean implementation as part of our roll-out of the CLARCOR Management System. We believe we are on track to realize in excess of $20 million in cost savings in fiscal 2016 pursuant to our cost reduction initiative program. We intend to explore our ability to implement additional cost reduction initiatives in fiscal 2017 and beyond, including in connection with our natural gas filtration business based upon expected continued top-line headwinds in that market, and we anticipate providing further updates regarding cost reduction initiatives in our fourth quarter earnings release. However, despite recent challenges in the global oil & gas industry, we continue to remain excited about the long-term growth prospects of our natural gas filtration business. Natural gas continues to be the most prevalent, clean-burning fossil fuel, and we believe its share of global energy consumption should continue to grow for several decades. We believe our natural gas filtration business will benefit from this anticipated global energy trend.”
Update on Strategic Initiatives
Chris Conway, CLARCOR’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, further commented, “We are excited about our entry into a ten-year strategic supply and development arrangement with GE, under which we will supply GE with 100% of its requirements for filters and SmartParts for GE’s advanced technology H-class gas turbines and a majority of GE’s requirements for certain other gas turbine platforms, while simultaneously serving as the sole developer of the next-generation air inlet filtration system for the H-class gas turbine. We believe this long-term arrangement with a market-leading company like GE illustrates our advancement as a filtration technology solution provider and is indicative of the benefits that we expect to derive from our increased investments in technology and innovation.
“In addition to deepening our ties and working closely with GE to develop a new air inlet filtration system for the H-class, we believe we are getting in on the ground floor as the deployment cycle for the next generation of advanced technology turbines, the H-class, begins. We believe this is analogous to the deployment of the F-class twenty plus years ago. It has been our experience that, for a variety of reasons, aftermarket sales to heavy-duty gas turbine operators are particularly sticky, and we believe that this arrangement will increase our opportunity to be the preferred supplier in the higher margin aftermarket over the next ten to fifteen years. For this reason, we view certain pricing concessions that we made for H-class products during the initial phase of our H-class arrangement as a strategic long-term investment. While this investment will create certain margin headwinds for our Industrial Air Group during this initial phase, we believe it is appropriate in light of the anticipated enhanced opportunity to serve aftermarket customers in the years to come. Moreover, we anticipate that the sales under our non-H-class gas turbine supply agreement--which is at regularly negotiated pricing and also has a ten-year term--will soften the financial impact of these initial concessions, and that margins on our first-fit H-class product sales will return to historical levels once the initial phase of the H-class agreement has ended. Additional details regarding our deal with GE can be found in our 8-K filing of this Press Release.
“In the second quarter we completed our acquisition of FibeRio, a technology company focused on the research, development and commercialization of advanced filtration media and performance fabrics. Through this acquisition, we acquired proprietary technology which we believe will enable us to develop nanofiber and other media solutions with superior filtration capabilities at lower production costs than traditional media. We expect this technology will support various growth initiatives including our development efforts for the next-generation air inlet filtration system for the GE H-class gas turbine platform. As a result of our entering into the deal with GE, we have expedited various FibeRio development and transition activities, and we expect to accelerate certain costs in 2016 as a result. We believe the FibeRio acquisition further enhances our progress in becoming a premier innovative filtration solution provider to customers across our many diverse filtration end-markets.
“Another significant example of our advancement as a filtration technology solution provider is our recent release of the Channel Flow EXOTM product line at our CLARCOR Engine Mobile Group (“CEMG”). This aftermarket product line includes heavy-duty engine air intake filtration products that offer our customers a compelling alternative to the OE first-fit honeycomb filters supplied by a competitor. The development of this product line is just one example of our design engineers at our business units working with our technologists at our CLARCOR Innovation Center to introduce innovative, new products for our customers. We have released two Channel Flow EXOTM air intake filters to market in the past several months, and we anticipate releasing approximately fifty additional air filters to market over the next eighteen months. We take great pride in offering our aftermarket distribution customers one of the broadest heavy-duty engine filtration product lines in the industry, and the introduction of Channel Flow EXOTM demonstrates our commitment to maintain this broad product offering.”
2016 Guidance
We are lowering our 2016 financial guidance for consolidated diluted earnings per share, net sales and operating margin as detailed in the table following this paragraph. The financial guidance included in the table below includes the following assumptions:
Our estimated 2016 net sales comparison and operating margin by reporting segment and on a consolidated basis are set forth below. The financial guidance included in the table below includes the following assumptions:
Consolidated net sales guidance for 2016 was lowered from our previous guidance by approximately $10 million at the mid-point as the result of anticipated lower net sales in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment primarily as the result of expected continued headwinds in our natural gas capital vessel filtration market and our industrial air and liquid filtration product markets. We have lowered our previous guidance with respect to consolidated operating margin primarily as the result of an expected decline in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment, which we lowered from 11.3% at the mid-point in our previous guidance to 10.7% at the mid-point in our current guidance. This reduction was driven by lower anticipated fixed cost absorption in our natural gas filtration business as a result of lower expected sales, lower anticipated margin on first-fit gas turbine filtration products, and higher anticipated allocated research & development expenses pursuant to the FibeRio acquisition. We have lowered our previous guidance with respect to operating margin in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment from 18.3% at the mid-point in our previous guidance to 18.1% at the mid-point in our current guidance primarily due to anticipated lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs.
Our 2016 earnings guidance includes approximately $7.0 million of net interest and other expense. We project 2016 cash from operations to be between $220 million and $230 million (excluding after-tax proceeds from the patent litigation award). We expect capital expenditures to be between $35 million and $45 million, our effective tax rate to be between 30.5% and 31.0%, and 49.1 million average diluted shares outstanding. Our 2016 fiscal calendar contains a fifty-third fiscal week. This additional week falls in our 2016 fiscal fourth quarter.

The quarter ended August 27, 2016 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude upfront expenses for cost reduction initiatives. Although these financial measures excluding this item in the quarter ended August 27, 2016 are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance. In addition, the Company believes that removing the impact of this item provides a more comparable measure of the changes in these financial measures for the quarter ended August 27, 2016 compared to the quarter ended August 29, 2015.
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and management does not intend these measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.
