CIRCOR Reports Fourth-Quarter and Year-End 2017 Financial Results

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2018-- CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of flow control solutions and other highly engineered products for the Energy, Aerospace & Defense and Industrial markets, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.

Q4 Orders of $217 million; up 32% organically
Q4 Revenue of $206 million, up 4% organically
Q4 GAAP loss per share of $(0.32)
Q4 Adjusted EPS of $0.57
Acquisition of Colfax Fluid Handling complete; integration underway
Company suspends quarterly dividend to prioritize debt reduction

“We capped a solid year in 2017 with strong orders growth, and improving revenue and earnings,” said Scott Buckhout, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Energy segment orders increased 37% organically in the fourth quarter, led by our Distributed Valves and Refinery Valves business units. In Advanced Flow Solutions, robust Aerospace demand contributed to a 25% increase in organic orders in the segment.”

The Fluid Handling business, which was acquired from Colfax Corporation on December 11, 2017, also contributed favorably to the results, generating $36.5 million in sales and $5.5 million in segment operating income.

“Since completing the Fluid Handling acquisition in December, we’ve put a full-time, global integration team in place and started executing our plan to reduce combined costs, consolidate systems and processes, and drive growth synergies,” Buckhout said. “We begin 2018 well positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities in a diversified range of favorable end markets.

“Going forward, we will continue to focus on creating long-term value for our shareholders by investing in growth, executing a seamless integration of Fluid Handling, and reducing our leverage,” concluded Buckhout.

U.S. Tax Reform
The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act did not have a significant impact on the fourth-quarter 2017 results given the Company’s net deferred tax position. Additional analysis regarding the realization of foreign tax credit carryover is in process and will be completed mid-2018.

Dividends
As part of its capital deployment strategy, the Company has suspended its quarterly cash dividend of $0.0375 per share, beginning in the first quarter of 2018. Suspension of this nominal dividend on common stock will allow the Company to redirect the funds to repay debt.

First-Quarter 2018 Guidance
The Company will provide guidance for the first quarter of 2018 during the conference call later today.

3.				Fluid Handling results reflect the period from December 11, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Prior period comparisons are not meaningful.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per share (diluted), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in our financial and operating decision making because we believe they better reflect our ongoing business and allow for meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. These non-GAAP financial measures also allow investors and others to compare the Company’s current financial results with the Company’s past financial results in a consistent manner. For example:

We exclude costs and tax effects associated with restructuring activities, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We believe that the costs related to these restructuring activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs.
We exclude certain acquisition-related costs, including significant transaction costs and amortization of inventory and fixed-asset step-ups and the related tax effects. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.
We exclude the expense and tax effects associated with the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives up to 25 years. Exclusion of the non-cash amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.
We also exclude certain gains/losses and related tax effects, which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, and that we believe are not indicative of our normal operating gains and losses. For example, we exclude gains/losses from items such as the sale of a business, significant litigation-related matters and lump-sum pension plan settlements.

CIRCOR’s management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the Company’s operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. We use such measures when publicly providing our business outlook, assessing future earnings potential, evaluating potential acquisitions and dispositions and in our financial and operating decision-making process, including for compensation purposes.

Investors should recognize that these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in this news release.
