FRANKLIN, TN, Wednesday, September 17, 2014-CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE: CLC) reported that its diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2014 increased 44% from the third quarter of 2013 to a record third quarter high of $0.82. These 2014 third quarter results were negatively impacted by $0.6 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs associated with the GE Air Filtration acquisition while third quarter 2013 results were negatively impacted by $7.7 million for charges related to a loss on the disposal of equipment and the settlement of a final pension obligation. When adjusted for these costs and charges, the Company’s third quarter non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.83 increased 24% and non-GAAP adjusted operating profit increased 26% compared to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjusted operating profit during the third quarter of 2013.1

Net sales in the third quarter of 2014 increased $111.1 million, or 38%, from last year’s third quarter primarily driven by $90.7 million of additional sales from the three fiscal year 2014 acquisitions. Net sales of our base business increased $20.4 million, or 7%, from the third quarter of 2013, including 8% organic sales growth in the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment and 7% organic sales growth in the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment. All references in this earnings release to the financial results of our “base business” or “organic” financial results, at the consolidated or reporting segment level, refer to our consolidated or segment results without giving effect to the three fiscal year 2014 acquisitions.

Chris Conway, CLARCOR’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“Our performance in the third quarter maintained the strong momentum we established through the first six months of 2014. The integration of our 2014 acquisitions remain on track, and the top-line of our base business continues to grow - 7% in the third quarter and 6% year-to-date from comparable periods last year - as our long-term sales growth initiatives gain traction. As with prior quarters, we also continued our focus on strategic initiatives including driving the development of value-added technology, expanding profitably in international markets and exploring new product and customer development activities.

“As of the end of the third quarter, we have completed the most significant tasks required to carve-out our GE Air Filtration acquisition from GE - approximately three months sooner than we initially expected. We have benefited from cost savings as we have transitioned from GE’s internal systems and processes to our systems and processes, and we expect to fully realize the savings associated with this transition beginning in fiscal year 2015. Strategic integration into CLARCOR continues as we work to leverage products, market channels and technologies across this business and our complimentary filtration businesses. We believe we now offer the industry’s broadest portfolio of pre-filters, final filters and cartridge filters for gas turbine protection, and we are excited about similar opportunities to leverage products and channels across other CLARCOR companies going forward. The financial performance of GE Air Filtration - renamed CLARCOR Industrial Air, or CIA - continues to meet our expectations. In the third quarter CIA had net sales of $59.8 million and a third quarter operating margin of 8.4% despite $0.6 million of integration and purchase accounting costs. Net sales at CIA for the first nine months of 2014 are approximately 15% higher than the comparable period in 2013 including a 29% increase in sales of gas turbine air intake filtration systems. We also continue to be excited about our more recent acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration - renamed CLARCOR Engine Mobile Solutions, or CEMS. We have made solid progress in coordinating strategic market and product initiatives between CEMS and our current Baldwin aftermarket operations, and the financial performance of CEMS has been consistent with our expectations at the time of acquisition.

“While investing significant time and resources to consummate and integrate our current year acquisitions, we continue to successfully drive strategic organic growth in our core filtration markets. This organic growth has been driven by many of our diverse filtration markets including the domestic heavy-duty engine filtration aftermarket where net sales have increased 8% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014. Our consolidated organic growth on a year-to-date basis is strong despite just 6% sales growth from our oil & gas filtration market - where we anticipate sales growth in excess of 10% in the fourth quarter of 2014 based upon a record high backlog at the end of the third quarter. Other filtration markets have also contributed to our organic sales growth in the first nine months including a 37% increase in dust collection system sales and a 9% increase in locomotive filtration sales. In summary, despite the significant business development activity this year, we have not taken our focus off of our base business and long-term organic growth initiatives. We believe our current year acquisitions only add to the strategic position of an already strong core filtration portfolio.”

Third Quarter Results:

Engine/Mobile Filtration Segment

Net sales at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased $36.8 million, or 28%, from the third quarter of 2013 including $28.0 million from CEMS. Organic sales increased $8.8 million, or 7%, from last year’s third quarter including 6% domestic sales growth and 8% foreign sales growth. Higher third quarter domestic sales were driven by an 8% increase in the heavy-duty engine filtration aftermarket and a 10% increase in locomotive filtration product sales primarily due to higher end-market demand driven by higher rail activity. Higher foreign sales were primarily due to an increase in export sales from the U.S. into Latin America.
  
Operating profit at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased $8.1 million, or 28%, and operating margin of 22.1% decreased 0.1 percentage points from the last year’s third quarter. The increase in third quarter operating profit in this reporting segment was primarily due to incremental operating profit from the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition, as well as the fact that operating profit in last year’s third quarter included $1.4 million of allocated charges pursuant to the settlement of a final pension obligation. The slight decline in operating margin in the third quarter was the result of lower operating margin at our base business partially offset by the favorable mix impact on operating margin from the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition. Consistent with recent prior quarters, lower year-over-year base business operating margin was partially driven by higher fixed costs to support future growth. Operating margin at each reporting segment including the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment was also negatively impacted by approximately 0.6 percentage points in the third quarter compared to last year’s third quarter due to higher allocated corporate and other growth-related costs.

Industrial/Environmental Filtration Segment

Net sales at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased $74.1 million, or 53%, from the third quarter of 2013. The third quarter of 2014 included combined sales of $62.7 million from the two 2014 acquisitions included in this reporting segment. Third quarter organic sales increased $11.4 million, or 8%, from last year’s third quarter including 14% domestic sales growth and a 6% reduction in foreign sales. Higher sales in the U.S. were primarily due to a 31% increase in oil & gas filtration sales due to continued strong shale activity. The 6% reduction in foreign sales from last year’s third quarter primarily resulted from lower oil & gas filtration sales in Latin America and Europe due to several large filtration vessel shipments in both regions in the third quarter of 2013.


3



Operating profit at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased $12.6 million, or 111%, and operating margin of 11.2% increased 3.1 percentage points from last year’s third quarter. Operating profit in this year’s third quarter was positively influenced by $4.9 million from our 2014 acquisitions, and operating profit in last year’s third quarter was negatively impacted by $6.1 million of costs related to a loss on the disposal of equipment and allocated charges pursuant to the settlement of a final pension obligation. Operating margin for our base business in this reporting segment remained flat compared with the third quarter of 2013, as the benefits of cost savings through our continuous improvement activities, as well as higher sales prices, offset the approximately 0.6 percentage point negative impact due to higher allocated corporate costs as noted above.

Packaging Segment

Net sales at our Packaging segment increased $0.2 million, or 1%, from the third quarter of 2013. These relatively flat sales were primarily the result of higher decorated flat sheet sales from new business opportunities offset by lower spice, battery and film packaging sales. Operating profit at our Packaging segment declined $0.4 million, or 22%, and operating margin of 7.9% declined 2.2 percentage points from last year’s third quarter. This lower third quarter operating margin was primarily driven by a higher mix of lower margin products in addition to higher utility costs and allocated corporate costs compared with the third quarter of 2013.

2014 Guidance

We project 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.79 and $2.85, a $0.05 increase at the mid-point from our prior 2014 diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.72 to $2.82. In excess of $0.03 of this increase was driven by lower expected 2014 interest expense compared with our prior guidance - which included the previously disclosed assumption that we would complete a debt refinancing in the third quarter of 2014. Although we will continue to assess the possibility of refinancing a portion of our debt, at this point, we do not anticipate completing a debt refinancing in 2014. We anticipate 2014 consolidated operating margin to be in the range from 13.8% to 14.2% and 2014 consolidated net sales to be as follows:

We project 2014 non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.92 to $2.98. This non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance includes anticipated operating results from the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions but excludes integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to these acquisitions, as well as a bargain purchase gain related to the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition. We anticipate 2014 non-GAAP adjusted consolidated operating margin to be in the range from 14.7% to 15.1%.

Base Business
     
Included in our consolidated 2014 guidance are estimated diluted earnings per share of between $2.44 and $2.50 for our base business - excluding the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions. The mid-point of this revised guidance is consistent with our previous guidance as the diluted earnings per share impact of an increase in expected base business sales was offset by a reduction in expected operating margin.

2 - Excludes the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions. These acquisitions do not impact the Packaging segment.

GE Air Filtration Acquisition

We anticipate that the GE Air Filtration acquisition will positively impact 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share from $0.14 to $0.16 including the negative impact of approximately $0.14 from $9.0 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the GE Air Filtration acquisition expected to be incurred for full year 2014.

Stanadyne Filtration Acquisition

We anticipate that seven months of operations from the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition will positively impact 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share from $0.13 to $0.15 including the negative impact of approximately $0.06 from $4.4 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition expected to be incurred for full year 2014.

Cash Flow, Taxes and Shares

For full year 2014 on a consolidated basis (inclusive of acquisitions), we project cash from operations between $170 million and $180 million, capital expenditures between $65 million and $75 million, an effective tax rate between 31.5% and 32.0% and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 50.9 million.

Reconciliation of Third Quarter 2014 GAAP Financial Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted Results

In addition to GAAP results, this earnings release presents information with respect to non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended August 30, 2014. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP measures are cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, operating margin, net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively.

The quarter ended August 30, 2014 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs associated with the GE Air Filtration acquisition. Although the comparison of data excluding these costs in our third quarter ended August 30, 2014 is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance. Management believes that removing the impact of these costs provides a more comparable measure of the changes in cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, operating margin, net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended August 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2013.

These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and management does not intend these measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Following are reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures of these non-GAAP financial measures.
