DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2014--Praxair, Inc. (NYSE:PX)
reported second-quarter net income of $467 million and diluted earnings
per share of $1.58, 5% and 6% above the prior-year quarter, respectively.
Sales in the second quarter were $3,113 million, 3% above the prior-year
quarter, and up 5% excluding foreign currency. Organic sales grew 4%
driven by new project start-ups, primarily in North America and Asia,
and price across all operating segments. By end-market, sales growth was
strongest for metals, energy and food & beverage customers. Acquisitions
contributed 1% growth in the quarter.
Operating profit in the second quarter was $697 million, 5% above the
prior-year quarter. Excluding negative currency translation impacts,
operating profit rose 7% primarily driven by higher pricing and
productivity gains. Operating profit as a percentage of sales was a
strong 22.4% and EBITDA margin grew to 32.1%.*
Second-quarter cash flow from operations was $847 million and funded
capital expenditures of $384 million, primarily for new production
plants under long-term contracts with customers. Acquisition
expenditures in the quarter were $46 million, primarily related to U.S.
packaged gas businesses. The company paid dividends of $190 million and
repurchased $140 million of stock, net of issuances. The after-tax
return on capital and return on equity for the quarter were 12.6% and
28.3%, respectively.*
Commenting on the financial results and business outlook, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Steve Angel said, “Praxair delivered another
solid quarter with operating profit growth of 7%, outpacing sales growth
of 5%, excluding currency headwinds, despite moderating growth in
emerging markets. We achieved superior operating cash flow as a
percentage of sales of 27% as a result of our consistent focus on
high-quality growth and strong return on capital.
“Sales growth was driven by new projects in North America and Asia, as
well as disciplined price execution across all of our operating
segments. We grew the base business modestly in North America, Europe
and Asia, but this growth was mitigated by weaker South American volumes
as a result of negative industrial production in Brazil.
“As we look to the remainder of the year, we don’t anticipate
significant economic improvement in the second half. However, Praxair’s
relentless focus on operational excellence, project execution and
financial discipline will continue to deliver increasing cash flow and
earnings per share for our shareholders.”
For the third quarter of 2014, Praxair expects diluted earnings per
share in the range of $1.58 to $1.65.
For the full year of 2014, Praxair expects sales in the range of $12.4
billion to $12.7 billion. The company expects diluted earnings per share
to be in the range of $6.30 to $6.45, 6% to 9%* above the prior year.
This year-over-year growth rate was reduced by approximately 2% negative
foreign currency translation impact. Full-year capital expenditures are
expected to be about $1.8 billion, and the effective tax rate is
forecasted to remain at about 28%.
Following is additional detail on second-quarter 2014 results by segment.
In North America, second-quarter sales were $1,628 million, 5% above the
prior-year quarter and up 7% excluding negative currency translation
impacts. Organic sales growth was 5% driven primarily by higher pricing
and increased sales to the energy end-market as on-site volumes
increased from new project start-ups for hydrogen supply to refinery
customers. Acquisitions contributed 1% growth. Operating profit of $398
million grew 4% from the prior year due to higher pricing, higher
volumes and ongoing productivity initiatives.
In Europe, second-quarter sales were $408 million, up 7% versus the
second quarter of 2013. Acquisitions, primarily Dominion Technology
Gases, contributed 3% growth. Organic sales growth of 1% came from
higher pricing. Operating profit of $78 million increased 13% versus the
prior-year quarter, and was driven by positive currency translation,
acquisitions and higher price.
In South America, second-quarter sales were $509 million. Sales grew 3%
from the prior-year quarter, excluding an 8% negative currency impact,
primarily due to higher overall pricing. Operating profit was $113
million, up 1% excluding currency effects, due to higher pricing
partially offset by lower volumes in Brazil and cost inflation.
Sales in Asia were $394 million in the quarter, up 4% from the prior
year driven by higher pricing and volume growth in India, China, Korea
and Thailand. Sales growth came primarily from metals, energy and
electronics customers. Operating profit was $76 million, 25% above the
prior-year quarter due primarily to higher volumes, price and
productivity initiatives.
Praxair Surface Technologies had second-quarter sales of $174 million,
5% above the prior year. Organic sales increased 4% primarily from
higher price. Operating profit was $32 million, as compared to $31
million in the prior year, due primarily to higher price.

APPENDIX
NON-GAAP
MEASURES
(Millions of dollars, except per share data)
The following non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement investors’
understanding of the company’s financial information by providing
measures which investors, financial analysts and management use to help
evaluate the company’s financial leverage, return on capital and
operating performance. Items which the company does not believe to be
indicative of on-going business trends are excluded from these
calculations so that investors can better evaluate and analyze
historical and future business trends on a consistent basis. Definitions
of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar definitions
used by other companies and are not a substitute for similar GAAP
measures. Adjusted amounts exclude the impact of the 2013 fourth quarter
bond redemption and the income tax benefit related to the realignment of
Praxair's Italian legal structure, the 2013 third quarter pension
settlement, and the 2013 first quarter loss on Venezuela currency
devaluation; the 2012 third quarter cost reduction program, pension
settlement charge, and an income tax benefit.
