COLFAX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Fourth quarter net income per dilutive share of $0.36, adjusted net income per share of $0.51.
Fourth quarter sales and operating profit in line with our expectations.
Cost reduction programs on schedule for 2016.

ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD - February 4, 2016 - Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX), a leading global manufacturer of gas- and fluid-handling and fabrication technology products and services, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.
For the fourth quarter of 2015, net income was $44.2 million, or $0.36 per dilutive share. Adjusted net income (as defined below) was $63.0 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to $89.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, or $0.72 per share.
Net sales were $1.061 billion in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 12.0% from the prior year. Net sales decreased 3.8% organically compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Fourth quarter operating income was $65.1 million, with adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $100.6 million. Adjusted operating income margin (as defined below) was 9.5% in the fourth quarter.
Fourth quarter gas- and fluid-handling orders decreased by 22.3% to $443.0 million compared to orders of $570.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an organic order decline of 18.8%. Gas- and fluid-handling finished the period with backlog of $1,140.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 net income was $167.7 million, or $1.34 per dilutive share. Adjusted net income (as defined below) was $200.1 million, or $1.60 per share. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $3.967 billion, a decrease of 14.2% compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $284.6 million, with adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $345.8 million. Adjusted operating income margin (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 8.7%.
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, organic sales decrease and organic order decrease are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). See below for a description of the measures' usefulness and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Matthew Trerotola, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to deliver fourth quarter sales and operating profit in line with our expectations. While the demand environment remains weak in both business segments, we are on track to deliver the $100 million in cost reductions from our 2014 cost base by the end of 2016. Execution of cash conversion management was outstanding in the quarter as we closed out 2015 with a strong balance sheet and $131 million less debt than we began the quarter. We are confident we will continue to deliver on the performance goals we outlined at our recent Investor Day."





Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
Colfax has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, organic sales decrease and organic order decrease. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin exclude Restructuring and other related charges. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share exclude the write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the refinancing of Colfax's credit agreement for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the preferred stock conversion inducement payment for the year ended December 31, 2014. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 25.1% and 27.5% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 24.5% and 27.8% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Organic sales decrease and organic order decrease exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of restructuring and other related charges, write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount, and the preferred stock conversion inducement payment.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
Conference Call and Webcast
Colfax will host a conference call to provide details about its results on Thursday, February 4, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. EST. The call will be open to the public through 877-303-7908 (U.S. callers) or 678-373-0875 (international callers) and referencing the conference ID number 37611950, or through webcast via Colfax's website at www.colfaxcorp.com under the “Investors” section.

__________
(1) Includes noncash charges of $4.7 million, associated with the write-off of original issue discount and deferred costs in connection with the refinancing of our primary credit facility on June 5, 2015.

(2) Provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was favorably impacted by the enactment of the U.S. tax extenders packages related to the exemption from taxation of certain foreign income in the United States. Benefit from income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014 was significantly impacted by the reassessment of the realizability of certain deferred tax assets as a result of the effect of the Victor Acquisition on expected future income which resulted in a decrease in the Company's valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.
