ITW Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Diluted EPS of $1.30, up 7 percent
Record operating margin of 21.3 percent, up 80 basis points; Enterprise Initiatives contributed 100 basis points
Company raises full-year guidance to $5.07 to $5.23 per share, up 10 percent at the midpoint

GLENVIEW, Ill., July 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE:ITW) today reported second quarter 2015 diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.30, a 7 percent increase compared to the year-ago period. Excluding the $(0.12) impact of currency translation, EPS would have been up 17%. Organic revenue growth was up slightly in the quarter as continued strong organic growth performance in our Automotive OEM and Food Equipment segments along with improving demand trends in our Construction Products business were offset by the impact of the soft capital spending environment on our Welding and Test & Measurement and Electronics segments. In addition, the implementation of the company’s ongoing product line simplification (PLS) initiative reduced enterprise-level organic revenue growth by 1 percentage point in the quarter.

"ITW continues to execute very well in the face of an external operating environment that remains challenging on a number of levels. In the second quarter, the company delivered solid EPS growth with record operating margin of 21.3 percent and after-tax return on invested capital above 20 percent," said E. Scott Santi, chairman and chief executive officer. "Consistent with our strategy and despite the challenging near-term macro environment, we continue to focus on and invest in executing the steps necessary to position the company to deliver solid above-market organic growth. As we transition into the back-half of our current five-year Enterprise Strategy, we remain firmly on track to achieve our 2017 and beyond organic growth target of 200 basis points or more above global GDP."

Second quarter 2015 enterprise highlights*
Organic revenue was up slightly for the total company. Growth was positive for both North America and International, with Europe up 2 percent. As expected, the ongoing PLS activities associated with the portfolio management component of ITW's Enterprise Strategy reduced organic revenue growth by approximately 1 percentage point. Total revenues of $3.4 billion were down 8 percent due to the impact of foreign currency translation.
Operating margin increased 80 basis points to a record 21.3 percent. Enterprise Initiatives contributed 100 basis points.
After-tax return on invested capital also improved 80 basis points to 20.3 percent.






Second quarter 2015 segment performance*
Construction Products organic revenue increased 6 percent in the quarter driven by 15 percent growth in North America. Operating margin was up 170 basis points to 19.9 percent.
Automotive OEM organic revenue growth of 6 percent outpaced flat second quarter worldwide auto builds. Organic revenue increased 10 percent in Europe, 5 percent in North America and 8 percent in China. Operating margin of 24.5 percent was up 80 basis points.
Food Equipment organic revenue increased 4 percent, due largely to 9 percent growth in North American equipment sales. Operating margin of 22.0 percent was an increase of 250 basis points.
Welding organic revenue declined by 6 percent while Test & Measurement and Electronics fell 5 percent (Test & Measurement platform down 7 percent) due to the soft capital spending environment and oil and gas end markets.

Guidance
The company is raising its 2015 full-year EPS guidance by $0.05 at the midpoint to reflect second quarter results and current exchange rates. The updated EPS range is $5.07 to $5.23, an increase of 10 percent at the $5.15 midpoint. Excluding the negative currency impact, full-year EPS would be up 18 percent at the midpoint. Organic revenue growth for the year is projected to be approximately 1 percent, which includes 1 percentage point of impact from PLS. Operating margin is projected to exceed 21 percent, an increase of more than 100 basis points year-over-year, largely driven by Enterprise Initiatives. The company expects this strong margin performance to offset modestly lower revenue expectations through the balance of the year. For the third quarter 2015, the company is expecting EPS to be in a range of $1.32 to $1.40 and operating margin to be approximately 22 percent. Third quarter organic revenue is forecast to be flat to up 1 percent.
