Applied Industrial Technologies Reports Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Results
January 24 2019 - 6:30AM
Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE: AIT) today reported second
quarter fiscal 2019 sales and earnings for the three months ended
December 31, 2018.
Net sales for the quarter grew 25.9% to $840.0
million from $667.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. The
overall sales increase for the quarter reflects a 21.3% increase
from acquisition-related volume and a 1.6% benefit from a higher
number of selling days in the quarter, partially offset by a
negative 0.7% foreign currency translation impact. Excluding these
factors, days adjusted organic growth was 3.7% in the quarter. Net
income for the quarter increased 25.1% to $38.7 million from $31.0
million, and earnings per share rose 25.3% to $0.99 per share,
compared to $0.79 per share in the prior year quarter. EBITDA for
the quarter of $76.0 million increased 34.6% versus the prior year
quarter.
For the six months ended December 31, 2018,
sales were $1.70 billion, an increase of 26.5% compared with $1.35
billion in the same period last year. Net income increased to $87.7
million from $64.7 million, and earnings per share increased 35.2%
to $2.23 per share from $1.65 per share, last year.
Commenting on the results, Applied’s President
& Chief Executive Officer Neil A. Schrimsher said, “While we
are pleased to post year-over-year increases in our second quarter
results, we did experience some deceleration as we progressed
through the quarter. The contributing factors included
significantly weaker sales in the final week of the calendar year,
combined with some softness and project delays in our fluid power
businesses tied to technology markets (electronic equipment and
component manufacturers). Additionally, we experienced an adverse
impact on our margins from a LIFO inventory charge related to more
pronounced inflation experienced in the quarter.”
Outlook
Mr. Schrimsher added, “Given the moderating
industrial environment and current fluid power market dynamics, we
are revising our full-year fiscal 2019 sales and earnings per share
guidance to between $4.45 and $4.65 per share on a sales increase
of 12.5% to 15.0%. The sales guidance includes a nearly 2.0%
to 4.0% increase in second-half daily sales rates compared to the
first half, excluding acquisitions. This assumes second-half
Fluid Power & Flow Control daily sales rates essentially
consistent with the first half of the fiscal year, and a 3.0% to
5.0% increase in the second-half daily sales rates in our Service
Center Segment.”
Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors increased the
quarterly cash dividend to $0.31 per common share, representing the
10th dividend increase since 2010. The dividend is payable on
February 28, 2019, to shareholders of record on February 15,
2019.
Mr. Schrimsher concluded, “We are fully
committed to generating shareholder value and leveraging our
expanding product, service and solution offering to drive
profitable growth. We are pleased to recognize the one-year
anniversary of the FCX Performance acquisition along with the
recent addition of Fluid Power Sales announced in November. These
businesses further enhance our capabilities and differentiation to
serve new and existing customers, and we will remain active in
acquisitions as we move through calendar 2019.”

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS |
|
(1) Applied uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method of valuing U.S. inventory. An actual valuation of
inventory under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of each
year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management's
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are
subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory
determination. |

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The company supplemented the reporting of financial
information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) with reporting EBITDA (Earnings from operations
before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), a non-GAAP
financial measure. EBITDA excludes items that may not be
indicative of core operating results. The company believes
that this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful information to
assist shareholders in understanding financial results, assessing
prospects for future performance, and provides a better baseline
for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Because
non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be
possible to compare this financial measure with other companies'
non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
reported results. This non-GAAP financial measure reflects an
additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed
with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the
business. The company strongly encourages investors and
shareholders to review company financial statements and publicly
filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure. The reconciliation provided above reconciles
EBITDA , a non-GAAP financial measure, with net income, a GAAP
financial measure. |
