DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 26, 2011--Praxair, Inc. (NYSE: PX) reported fourth-quarter net income and diluted earnings per share of $133 million and 43 cents, respectively. These results were reduced by $255 million, or 82 cents of diluted earnings per share, related primarily to the previously announced Spanish income tax settlement. Excluding this impact, adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share were $388 million and $1.25, 14% and 15% above the prior-year quarter, respectively.*
Sales in the fourth quarter were $2,623 million, up 9% from $2,407 million in the previous year’s quarter, due to 8% volume growth. Sales increased across all geographic regions due primarily to electronics, manufacturing, energy and metals markets. Sales rose 3% sequentially from the third quarter due to higher volumes and positive currency effects. Reported operating profit in the fourth quarter was $505 million. Adjusted operating profit of $563 million was 10% above the prior-year quarter due to higher volumes and cost reduction.*
For the full year of 2010, reported net income was $1,195 million. Reported diluted earnings per share was $3.84. Adjusted net income was $1,476 million, up 18% from adjusted 2009 net income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $4.74, 19% above the adjusted diluted earnings per share of the prior year.*
Full-year sales were $10,116 million, up 13% due primarily to higher volumes. Reported operating profit was $2,082 million. Adjusted operating profit of $2,167 million was 15% above 2009, largely due to volumes and continued leverage from productivity and cost reduction programs.*
For the full year, cash flow from operations was $1,905 million, including the Spanish income tax settlement payment of $481 million. Capital expenditures were $1,388 million. Acquisition expenditures were $148 million, related primarily to the acquisition of an ownership interest in industrial gas businesses in the Middle East. The company paid $551 million of dividends and repurchased $404 million of stock, net of issuances.
Commenting on the financial results and business outlook, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Angel said, “Our global business turned in a strong performance in 2010. We achieved record operating profit by leveraging the strong recovery in volumes and new plant start-ups along with ongoing productivity and cost reduction. We continued to invest in capital projects for future growth and established a presence in two growing geographies, Russia and the Middle East.
“As we look forward, we expect our project backlog to grow as a result of the significant number of opportunities we are seeing in energy and emerging markets. We continue to augment our base business growth with application technologies that improve our customers’ processes. We will maintain our intense focus on productivity, project execution and capital discipline. We expect to continue to generate strong cash flow which will fund new projects around the world and return cash to our shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.”
For the first quarter of 2011, Praxair expects diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.23 to $1.28.
For the full year of 2011, Praxair expects sales in the area of $11 billion. The company expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.25 to $5.40. Full-year capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $1.5 to $1.8 billion, and the effective tax rate is forecasted to remain at about 28%.
Following is additional detail on fourth-quarter 2010 results by segment.
In North America, fourth-quarter sales were $1,310 million up 11% from the prior-year quarter. Volumes were 9% above the prior year largely attributable to higher sales to electronics, chemicals, energy and manufacturing markets. Operating profit of $311 million grew 19% from the prior year due to higher volumes and strong operating leverage and productivity.
In Europe, fourth-quarter sales were $339 million. Excluding negative currency effects, sales were 6% above the prior year due primarily to higher volumes. Operating profit was $68 million in the quarter, compared to $76 million in the prior-year due to currency effects partially offset by higher volumes.
In South America, fourth-quarter sales were $516 million. Sales were 12% above the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher volumes and higher price. Operating profit was $114 million as compared to $111 million in the prior-year period.
Sales in Asia were $308 million in the quarter up 12% from the prior-year quarter driven by strong growth in China, India, and Korea. Sales growth came from metals, manufacturing, electronics and chemical customers. Operating profit was $50 million, 19% above the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher volumes.
Praxair Surface Technologies had fourth-quarter sales of $150 million compared to $141 million in the prior-year quarter. Sales growth came from higher jet engine and industrial coatings volumes. Operating profit was $20 million in the quarter versus $22 million in the prior-year period due to a pension settlement charge and restructuring costs.

(Millions of dollars, except per share data) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(UNAUDITED) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 financing leverage, return on net assets employed 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 2010 fourth quarter Spanish income tax settlement, business divestiture and repatriation tax benefit and the first quarter Venezuela currency devaluation and the 2009 third quarter Brazil tax amnesty program and other charges which helps investors understand underlying performance on a comparable basis. |
