•

Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.33, up 74%

•

GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.31, up 72%

DALLAS, April 22, 2013 – Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2013. Financial results presented have been adjusted for discontinued operations related to the company’s previously announced plans to sell its Service Experts business. The transaction was completed on March 22, 2013.

Revenue for the first quarter was $668 million, up 9% from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.33, up 74% from $0.19 in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.31, up 72% from $0.18 in the prior-year quarter.

“Growth continued across all three of our businesses in the first quarter with strong operational execution driving revenue up 9% and EPS up more than 70%,” said Todd Bluedorn, Chairman and CEO of Lennox International. “Our Residential business continued to lead our growth on the strength of new construction and our growth initiatives in the replacement market. Residential revenue was up 15% in the first quarter and margin expanded 250 basis points to drive segment profit up 86%. In our Commercial business, revenue was up 4%, led by strong growth in national account services. Commercial profit was up 34% as margin expanded 150 basis points. Refrigeration revenue was up 4% at constant currency on double-digit growth in Asia Pacific and South America. Refrigeration margin expanded 100 basis points, and profit grew 18%.

“We have seen the company’s business momentum continue, and the year is off to a good start. However, the largest seasonal periods of the year are still ahead of us, and macroeconomic uncertainty remains. On balance, we are raising the low end of our revenue and earnings guidance for 2013 to reflect our first quarter performance and current view on the full year. With our strong balance sheet, we will continue to invest in the business and maintain a competitive dividend, and we plan to repurchase $100 million of stock in 2013.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue for the first quarter was $668 million, up 9% from the prior-year quarter. Foreign exchange was neutral to revenue. Volume and price/mix were up from the prior-year quarter.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the first quarter was $162 million, up 15% from the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 24.2%, up 130 basis points from 22.9% in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 excludes $0.7 million after-tax for the net change in unrealized losses on open future contracts, an after-tax charge of $0.3 million for restructuring activities, and an after-tax charge of $0.2 million for other items, net.
