• | Structural cost changes reading through; on track to deliver $50 million in savings in 2016. |

ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD - October 27, 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 third quarter of 2016. Net income was $28.0 million, or $0.23 per dilutive share, compared to $18.4 million, or $0.15 per share, for the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted net income was $47.8 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $29.5 million, or $0.24 per share for the comparable 2015 period.
The Company reported third quarter net sales of $879.2 million, compared with $969.1 million in the comparable 2015 quarter. A 2.6% foreign exchange impact contributed to the 9.3% decrease. Third quarter operating income was $50.5 million or 5.7% of sales, and adjusted operating income was $78.3 million or 8.9% of sales. The prior year third quarter operating income margin was 4.7%, and the adjusted operating income margin was 6.0%.
“We delivered another solid profit performance this quarter and made substantial progress on our internal efforts to improve margins,” said Matthew Trerotola, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Several large project wins lifted our Gas and Fluid Handling segment orders by almost 9% organically, but these awards were the result of our differentiated solutions and CBS driven improvement and not a broader improvement in business conditions. We also achieved increasing benefits from our restructuring efforts and remain on track to deliver the $50 million of planned savings for this year. Our strong execution on productivity and restructuring projects contributed to an improved adjusted operating margin despite lower volume.”
“We continue to view our end markets as near the bottom of the cycle and are implementing several new actions to further improve our long-term cost structure,” Mr. Trerotola continued. “Colfax has strong growth potential as our end markets improve, we gain momentum in our industrial and aftermarket initiatives, and execute our strategic growth program. We have many levers to create long-term shareholder value.”
Colfax also announced that the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed prior court rulings regarding the Company’s rights under excess insurance policies for asbestos coverage. This ruling is expected to result in the receipt from excess insurers of approximately $88 million of prior unreimbursed costs funded by the Company, although the timing of the cash receipts remains uncertain. It is also expected to reduce the extent to which the Company is required to fund future defense and settlement costs. Because the Court ruled that payment under the various policies differed in some cases, the Company recorded an $8.2 million non-cash charge in the third quarter.
As a result of recent performance, the pace of cost reduction actions and its near-term market outlook heading into the fourth quarter, the Company raised the lower end of its previously-issued guidance range by 5 cents for full-year 2016.
Conference Call and Webcast
Colfax will host a conference call to provide details about its results on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. EDT.

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 growth (decrease). Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin exclude Restructuring and other related charges, Asbestos coverage adjustment, and charges associated with the deconsolidation of our operations in Venezuela to the extent they impact the periods presented. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share for the nine months ended September 25, 2015 exclude the write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the refinancing of Colfax’s credit agreement. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 27.2% and 29.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The effective tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are 27.5% and 28.5% for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, respectively. Organic sales decrease and organic order growth (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, asbestos coverage adjustments, Venezuela deconsolidation charges and write-off of certain deferred financing fees and original issue discount.
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.
