Operating Margin of 17.0%; Up 120 bps from Last Year’s Adjusted Operating Margin of 15.8%
Diluted EPS of $0.93, up 13% from the Prior Year Period; On an Adjusted Basis, Up 11% to $0.90

BRISTOL, Conn., July 27, 2018 - Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), a global provider of highly engineered products and differentiated industrial technologies, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2018. Net sales of $375 million were up 3% from $364 million in the prior year period driven by organic sales growth (1) of 1% and favorable foreign exchange of 2%. Net income for the second quarter was $49.4 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to net income of $45.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, a year ago. On an adjusted basis, net income was $0.90 per diluted share, up 11% from $0.81 last year. Second quarter 2018 adjusted diluted net income excludes a benefit of $0.03 related to U.S. Tax Reform while adjusted diluted net income per share in the second quarter of 2017 excludes restructuring actions which provided a net benefit of $0.03 and short-term purchase accounting adjustments of $0.02 related to the FOBOHA acquisition in our Industrial Segment.
A table reconciling 2018 and 2017 non-GAAP adjusted results presented in this release to the Company’s GAAP results is included at the end of this press release.
“Barnes delivered an excellent second quarter of financial performance on continued strength of our Aerospace business and further improvement in our Industrial business,” said Patrick J. Dempsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barnes Group Inc. “Operating income increased, operating margin expanded, and total backlog reached another record level. Given the solid performance delivered in the first half, and with a positive expectation for the remainder of the year, we have again raised our outlook for 2018,” added Dempsey.

Industrial
Second quarter 2018 sales were $249.6 million, down 1% from $251.8 million in the prior year period. Organic sales decreased by 4%, while favorable foreign exchange increased sales by $7.1 million, or 3%.

Operating profit in the second quarter was $38.3 million, up 1% from an adjusted $37.9 million in the prior year period. Operating profit benefited from favorable productivity, which was offset in part by the profit impact of lower organic sales. Operating margin was 15.4%, up 40 bps from last year’s adjusted 15.0%.
Aerospace
Second quarter 2018 sales were $125.7 million, up 12% from $112.7 million in the same period last year. Aerospace original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”) sales increased 7% while aftermarket sales increased 21% from continuing growth in maintenance, repair and overhaul, and spare parts sales.

Operating profit was $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, up 29% as compared to $19.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting the profit impact from higher sales volumes offset in part by scheduled price deflation. Operating margin of 20.3% was up 270 bps from 17.6% a year ago, benefitting from the higher aftermarket contribution.

Aerospace OEM backlog ended the second quarter 2018 at a record $818 million, up 22% compared to a year ago and up 12% sequentially from the first quarter of 2018. The Company expects to ship approximately 45% of this backlog over the next 12 months.
 
Additional Information
Second quarter interest expense increased $0.6 million to $4.1 million as a result of a higher average effective interest rate versus a year ago.

Other expense, net for the quarter was $0.9 million versus income of $6.0 million in the prior year period. The second quarter of 2017 included a pre-tax pension curtailment gain of $7.4 million as a result of restructuring actions recorded in the quarter.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.9% in the second quarter of 2018 compared with 15.4% in the second quarter of 2017. For the second quarter of 2018, the Company benefited from the reversal of certain tax valuation allowances, a discrete item worth approximately $0.08 per share. In addition, adjustments related to U.S. tax reform legislation, worth approximately $0.03 per share, benefited the quarter and have been excluded from adjusted income. The primary driver of last year’s lower tax rate was the merging of several legal entities in Switzerland which allowed the Company to adjust the valuation allowance on previously reserved net operating losses that would have otherwise expired which provided a discrete benefit of approximately $0.12 per share.

For the full year 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was 69.6%. Excluding the impact of discrete tax expense related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the effective tax rate for 2017 would have been 20.2%.

Updated 2018 Outlook

Barnes Group expects 2018 total revenue growth of 5% to 6%, with organic sales growth of 4% to 5%. Foreign exchange and acquisition revenues are each anticipated to benefit revenues by approximately 1% for the year. Operating margin is forecast in the range of 16.0% to 16.5%. Earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $3.21 to $3.31, with adjusted earnings per share of $3.18 to $3.28, up 10% to 14% from 2017’s adjusted $2.88. Further, the Company continues to anticipate capital expenditures of between $60 to $65 million and cash conversion of greater than 100% of net income. Based upon our forecasted



Barnes Group Inc. / 3


geographic mix of earnings, the effective tax rate for 2018 is expected to be approximately 24%, excluding the second quarter adjustment for U.S. tax reform.

Notes:
(1) The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes that the free cash flow metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that can be used to invest in future growth, pay dividends, repurchase stock and reduce debt. This metric can also be used to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company's liquidity.

Notes:
(1) The Company has excluded adjustments of $1,522 made in the second quarter of 2018 to reduce the tax expense recorded in December 2017 related to the U.S. tax reform (commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) from its "as adjusted" financial measurements for 2018. The Company has excluded the following from its "as adjusted" financial measurements for 2017: 1) the effects of U.S. tax reform ($96,700), 2) short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to its FOBOHA acquisition, 3) charges from restructuring actions related to the closure and consolidation of two manufacturing facilities within the Industrial segment and 4) the related pension curtailment and settlement gains included in non-operating income. The tax effects of these items, excluding the effects of U.S. tax reform which impacted tax expense directly, were calculated based on the respective tax jurisdiction of each item and range from approximately 21% to 37%. Management believes that these adjustments provide the Company and its investors with an indication of our baseline performance excluding items that are not considered to be reflective of our ongoing results. Management does not intend results excluding the adjustments to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative measurement calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's performance. Accordingly, the measurements have limitations depending on their use.

(2) Results for 2017 have been adjusted on a retrospective basis to reflect the impact of the adoption of revised guidance for the presentation of pension and other postretirement benefit costs in the first quarter of 2018.
