Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:LECO)
today reported second quarter 2017 net income of $61.4 million, or
diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.92, which includes
acquisition transaction and integration costs of $4.5 million, $3.5
million after-tax, or $0.05 EPS, related to the proposed
acquisition of Air Liquide Welding. The second quarter 2017
also includes a $2.9 million, or $0.04 EPS, tax benefit from stock
option exercises that are now recognized through income tax expense
following the adoption of a new accounting standard in the first
quarter 2017. Second quarter 2016 net income was $31.3
million, or $0.45 EPS, and on an adjusted basis, $57.4 million, or
$0.83 EPS.
Second quarter 2017 sales increased 5.8% to $626.9 million on
3.2% higher volumes and a 2.6% increase in price. Excluding
Venezuela from prior year results due to the deconsolidation of the
operation, sales increased 6.9%, from 4.2% higher volumes and a
2.7% increase in price.
Operating income for second quarter 2017 was $87.6 million, or
14.0% of sales. This compares with operating income of $48.1
million, or 8.1% of sales, in the comparable 2016 period. On
an adjusted basis, operating income was $92.1 million, or 14.7% of
sales, as compared with $82.4 million, or 13.9% of sales, in the
prior year.
On April 27, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement with Air Liquide to acquire its Air Liquide
Welding subsidiary. The definitive agreement reflects an
approximate $131 million purchase price for the Air Liquide Welding
business, including the assumption of net debt and working capital
adjustments. The proposed acquisition is expected to close on
July 31, 2017.
"We achieved good momentum in the second quarter with sales
growth across all three segments and among most end markets,”
stated Christopher L. Mapes, chairman, president and chief
executive officer. “Financial performance remained solid as
operational initiatives and volume improvements helped mitigate
rising raw material costs and operating expenses. Given
sustained improvement in year-over-year demand, we expect to
continue to achieve modest sales and margin growth in 2017.
We are also looking forward to completing the Air Liquide Welding
acquisition, which will further advance our '2020 Vision and
Strategy'.”

Non-GAAP Information
Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted
earnings per share and Return on invested capital are non-GAAP
financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP measures to
assess the Company's operating performance by excluding certain
disclosed special items that management believes are not
representative of the Company's core business. Management
believes that excluding these special items enables them to make
better period-over-period comparisons and benchmark the Company's
operational performance against other companies in its industry
more meaningfully. Furthermore, management believes that
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful
information that provides a more complete understanding of Company
operating results and enables investors to analyze financial and
business trends more thoroughly. Non-GAAP financial measures
should not be viewed in isolation, are not a substitute for GAAP
measures and have limitations including, but not limited to, their
usefulness as comparative measures as other companies may define
their non-GAAP measures differently.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Company’s expectations and beliefs concerning the future
contained in this news release are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These statements reflect management’s current
expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
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. The factors include, but are
not limited to: general economic and market conditions; the
effectiveness of operating initiatives; completion of planned
divestitures; interest rates; disruptions, uncertainty or
volatility in the credit markets that may limit our access to
capital; currency exchange rates and devaluations; adverse outcome
of pending or potential litigation; actual costs of the Company’s
rationalization plans; possible acquisitions, including the
Company’s ability to successfully complete the Air Liquide Welding
business acquisition; market risks and price fluctuations related
to the purchase of commodities and energy; global regulatory
complexity; and the possible effects of events beyond our control,
such as political unrest, acts of terror and natural disasters, on
the Company or its customers, suppliers and the economy in
general. For additional discussion, see “Item 1A. Risk

(1) Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income and
Adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial
measures. Management uses non-GAAP measures to assess the
Company's operating performance by excluding certain disclosed
special items that management believes are not representative of
the Company's core business. Management believes that
excluding these special items enables them to make better
period-over-period comparisons and benchmark the Company's
operational performance against other companies in its industry
more meaningfully. Furthermore, management believes that
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful
information that provides a more complete understanding of Company
operating results and enables investors to analyze financial and
business trends more thoroughly. Non-GAAP financial measures
should not be viewed in isolation, are not a substitute for GAAP
measures and have limitations including, but not limited to, their
usefulness as comparative measures as other companies may define
their non-GAAP measures differently.
(2) Related to the deconsolidation of the Company's
Venezuelan subsidiary in the second quarter 2016.
(3) Related to proposed acquisition of Air Liquide
Welding.
(4) Related to the reversal of an income tax valuation
allowance as a result of a legal entity change.
