·	Adjusted earnings per share of $0.24 up 41% versus prior year

·	Introducing 2017 guidance of adjusted EBITDA between $510 million and $530 million, reflecting our strong first half performance, our confidence in commercial and operational execution and the continued improvement in end market demand

Milwaukee, WI (August 2, 2017) -- Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GDI) announced today second quarter revenues of $579.1 million, up 25% versus prior year and a 27% increase excluding the impact of foreign exchange (“FX”).

Net loss in the quarter of $146.3 million resulted in an earnings per share loss (“EPS”) of $0.83, based on share count of 176.9 million.  Adjusted net income of $43.7 million, up 69% versus prior year, resulted in adjusted diluted EPS of $0.24, based on share count of 182.2 million.  Adjusted EBITDA was $132.1 million, up 53% versus prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues expanded 410 basis points to 22.8% as compared to 18.7% in the prior year.

In the second quarter, Gardner Denver generated $22.6 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $10.4 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $12.2 million.  Second quarter net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage improved to 3.8x from 7.3x as compared to the same period in the prior year, and improved from 6.3x as compared to the first quarter of 2017.  The leverage improvement was primarily driven by the use of proceeds from the initial public offering and improved adjusted EBITDA performance over the past year.

 

 

Gardner Denver’s Chief Executive Officer, Vicente Reynal, said, “I am very pleased with our performance in our first quarter as a public company, and the execution of our value creation strategy. We are focused on deploying and building talent across the organization, expanding margins across each of our segments, and accelerating profitable growth, all driven by effectively allocating capital.”

Reynal further stated, “We demonstrated strong operating leverage in the quarter as adjusted EBITDA margins expanded over 400 basis points to 22.8% with all three segments showing meaningful expansion versus the prior year. Our strong cash flow enabled us to continue to reinvest in the business through strategic capital expenditures and acquire the LeROI Compressors business. Looking ahead, we see solid demand momentum for industrial air compression technology in the Americas and Europe coupled with strength in upstream and downstream energy.”

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

 

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Gardner Denver reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS” and “Free Cash Flow.”

 

 

Gardner Denver believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Gardner Denver’s business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net loss including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions.  Gardner Denver believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding.

Gardner Denver uses Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Gardner Denver measures Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Gardner Denver believes Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for management and investors in assessing the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Management and Gardner Denver’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Gardner Denver believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net loss, diluted earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Gardner Denver’s results as reported under GAAP.

 

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full year 2017 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations.
