Rexnord Corporation First Quarter Results for Fiscal 2014
Call scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time

MILWAUKEE, WI - July 31, 2013 NYSE:RXN
Consolidated Highlights
Net sales increased 3% (+3% core sales) to $509 million in the first quarter.
Income from operations increased 11% to $61 million year-over-year resulting in a 90 basis point increase in operating margin to 12%.
Reported net income from continuing operations increased to $14 million from a net loss of $1 million in the prior year; Adjusted net income increased 7% over the prior year to $24 million.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.14; first quarter adjusted earnings per share was $0.24.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $93 million resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.3%.
Total liquidity was $657 million ($335 million of cash plus $322 million of available borrowings).
Todd A. Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented "We are pleased with the start to our fiscal year as core sales growth, earnings and free cash flow were slightly better than we anticipated going into our first quarter. Core sales in Process and Motion Control progressed to flat from down 4% in our fiscal 2013 fourth quarter reflecting the diversity of the platform and the stabilization in demand we are seeing in most of our end markets. Core sales in Water Management grew 8% year-over-year as our growth initiatives are driving market share gains in advance of the expected market recovery we see coming over the next couple of years. Looking ahead, we anticipate the global macro environment to remain somewhat muted but believe we can continue to outperform the market in both segments of our business while driving margin improvement and solid free cash flow."
Second Quarter and Fiscal 2014 Outlook and Guidance
Adams continued "Based on our first quarter results and latest outlook, we are increasing our full year core sales guidance to +2% to +4% and increasing the low end of our adjusted EPS range by $0.02 resulting in a full year EPS range of $1.12 to $1.18. With respect to our second quarter, we anticipate sales to be in the range of $510 million to $520 million and adjusted EPS in the range of $0.23 to $0.25 (35% discrete tax rate in the second quarter with full year guidance unchanged at 31 - 33%)."
First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Segment Highlights
Process & Motion Control
Process & Motion Control ("PMC") net sales were $315 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and $314 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Core net sales were flat year-over-year as sales growth in our food and beverage and non-US mining end-markets was offset by soft global demand in the majority of our remaining end-markets.
PMC Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $71 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 22.5% compared to 23.6% in the prior year first quarter. The current quarter margin reflects investments we have made to drive share gains in strategic geographies.





Water Management
Water Management net sales increased 8% from the prior year to $194 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Core net sales increased 8% year-over-year as a result of market share gains in our Water Management end-markets and increased alternative market sales in our non-residential construction end-markets.
Water Management Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $30 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 15.3%, which is consistent with our fourth quarter 2013 margin on slightly lower seasonal sales.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. 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 our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
Core Sales
Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier comparisons of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions because the nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and other similar costs, gains or losses on divestitures, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of inventory fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is based on a transaction specific basis. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating the performance of issuers of “high yield” securities because it is a common measure of the ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our senior secured credit facilities, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements





for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; (f) management fees paid to Apollo; or (g) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our secured senior credit facilities may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.
In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA (which includes a full pro-forma last-twelve-month impact of acquisitions), or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, and we use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt.
