GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.32 compared to $1.14 in the second quarter of last year; excluding Special Items, EPS of $1.41 increased 20% compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Raising 2018 GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $4.90-$5.10 vs. prior range of $4.75-$4.95; excluding Special Items, raising 2018 EPS guidance to a range of $5.60-$5.80 vs. prior range of $5.45-$5.65.
Revising 2018 free cash flow guidance (cash provided by operating activities less capital spending) to $250-$280 million vs. prior range of $240-$270 million.


STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - July 23, 2018 - Crane Co. (NYSE: CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported second quarter 2018 earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.32, compared to $1.14 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding Special Items, second quarter 2018 EPS increased 20% to $1.41. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)

Second quarter sales were a record $851 million, an increase of 21% compared to $703 million in the second quarter of 2017. The sales increase was comprised of a $124 million, or 18%, benefit from acquisitions, core sales growth of $12 million, or 2%, and a $12 million, or 2%, benefit from favorable foreign exchange.

Operating profit in the second quarter was $113 million, an increase of 7% compared to $106 million in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding Special Items, operating profit in the second quarter was $126 million, an increase of 13% compared to $112 million in the second quarter of 2017. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)

The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 23.1%, down from 30.5% in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding Special Items, the effective tax rate in the second quarter was 23.9%, down from 30.4% in the second quarter of 2017. The lower tax rate in the second quarter of 2018 was a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We continue to expect a full year 2018 tax rate of approximately 22%.

Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer commented: "We delivered another quarter of strong operating results. Most major end markets are performing as or better than expected, with solid demand across Aerospace & Electronics, Crane Payment Innovations, Crane Currency and Fluid Handling. We are also making continued progress across our various initiatives including previously announced repositioning activities and the integration of Crane Currency. To date, we are tracking ahead of the midpoint of our previously issued guidance, with incremental strength at Aerospace & Electronics and continued shipments to a large Crane Currency customer more than offsetting softer RV demand. Based on these factors, we are raising our 2018 EPS guidance, excluding Special Items, to $5.60-$5.80, from our prior range of $5.45-$5.65." (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)

Cash Flow and Other Financial Metrics
Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2018 was $131 million, compared to $70 million in the first six months of 2017. Free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less

capital spending) was $87 million in the first six months of 2018, compared to $50 million in the first six months of 2017. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)

The Company's cash position was $318 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $706 million at December 31, 2017. Total debt was $1,109 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $743 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in total debt reflects the financing associated with the January 10, 2018 acquisition of Crane Currency.

Raising 2018 Guidance
We are raising our 2018 full year GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $4.90-$5.10, compared to the prior range of $4.75-$4.95. We now expect 2018 full year EPS, excluding Special Items, of $5.60-$5.80, compared to the prior range of $5.45-$5.65. Full year 2018 free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital spending) is now expected to be in a range of $250-$280 million, compared to the prior range of $240-$270 million.

Certain non-GAAP measures have been provided to facilitate comparison with the prior year.
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance.
In addition, Free Cash Flow provides supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
