DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2016. All comparisons are against the prior-year quarter unless otherwise noted.

Revenue for the third quarter was $1.01 billion, up 6%. Foreign exchange was neutral to revenue in the quarter. GAAP operating income increased 24% to a third-quarter record $157 million. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.33, up 32%. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was a third-quarter record $2.33, up 28%.

"Lennox International set new third-quarter records for operating margin and profit on strong revenue growth, led by our Residential business," said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. "We continued to drive significant margin expansion across all three of our businesses in the third quarter. Overall, total segment profit margin rose 190 basis points to a third-quarter record 15.6%.

"Our Residential business set third-quarter records for sales, margin and profit. Residential revenue was up 11% on strength in both replacement and new construction business. Residential profit rose 25% as segment margin expanded 230 basis points to 19.7%. Our Commercial business established new highs for margin and profit on 2% revenue growth. Commercial profit rose 9%, and segment margin expanded 130 basis points to 19.5%. In Refrigeration, profit rose 13% as segment margin expanded 160 basis points to 12.3%. Refrigeration revenue was down 2%, primarily on the timing of national account business and soft market conditions in Europe."

Looking ahead for the company overall, Bluedorn said, "As part of our ongoing strategy to de-risk the company's pension plan obligations, we expect to complete a one-time, lump sum pension buyout  in the fourth quarter for certain vested participants. This action is expected to reduce the company's pension obligations by approximately $50 million. We expect to take a non-cash charge of approximately $20 million after-tax, and our updated 2016 guidance for GAAP EPS from continuing operations incorporates this.

"For adjusted EPS from continuing operations, we are raising 2016 guidance based on the company's strong operational performance and outlook, and we continue to expect strong margin expansion and profit growth as momentum continues."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue for the third quarter was $1.01 billion, up 6%. Foreign exchange was neutral to revenue. Volume and price/mix were up on a revenue basis.

Gross Profit: Gross profit in the third quarter was $310 million, up 13%. Gross margin was 30.7%, up 210 basis points.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Measures

(Unaudited, in millions, except per share and ratio data)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures






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.
