Lennox International Reports Record First-Quarter Revenue and Profit
For the first quarter, revenue was a first-quarter record

"In our Residential business, revenue was up 11% to a new first-quarter high. Segment margin was relatively flat in our seasonally smallest quarter on investments in distribution expansion, information technology, research and development, and other SG&A investments. With warmer weather than last year, Residential mix was not as favorable as expected due to faster growth in new construction than replacement business.

"Looking ahead for the company overall, we are reiterating guidance for revenue and adjusted EPS from continuing operations for 2017. While early, the company is off to a strong start, and we continue to expect another record year as we enter our largest seasonal period. We remain focused on capitalizing on end market growth, capturing additional market share with our strategic initiatives, and driving higher profitability."

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements and segment net sales and profit presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables. In addition to these non-GAAP measures, the Company also provides rates of revenue change at constant currency on a consolidated and segment basis if different than the reported measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and operating performance. |
