DALLAS, July 22, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2009.

Revenue for the second quarter was $791 million, 21% below the prior-year quarter. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange, revenue would have been down 17%. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.67, compared to $1.02 in the record second quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on a GAAP basis was $0.63, compared to $0.89 in the year-ago quarter.

"End market conditions remained difficult in the second quarter, but strong operational execution enabled Lennox to generate $55 million of free cash flow in the quarter, up 26% from last year," said Todd Bluedorn, Chief Executive Officer. "While the residential market continued to decline from a year ago, we saw the rate of decline slow in the second quarter. In the commercial and refrigeration markets, however, we saw the rate of decline increase in the quarter. Looking ahead at the full year, we are narrowing our revenue and adjusted EPS guidance to the low end of our previous range. We continue to execute on our cost reduction programs and strategic initiatives as offsets to the challenging end markets we expect through 2009."

(Note: See attached schedules for financial details, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, and a description of adjusting items.)

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: Revenue for the second quarter was $791 million, 21% below the prior-year quarter. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange, revenue would have been down 17%. Lower volume across all business segments impacted revenue, with offsets from improved price and mix over the year-ago quarter.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the second quarter was $229 million, down 18% from $278 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 29.0% compared to 27.8% in the year-ago quarter, up 120 basis points. Second quarter 2009 gross margin includes a net positive warranty adjustment of $10 million compared to a positive adjustment of $4 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin also benefited from improvements in product price, mix, and manufacturing rationalization.

Income from Continuing Operations: Adjusted income from continuing operations in the second quarter was $38.0 million, or $0.67 diluted earnings per share, compared to adjusted income of $59.4 million, or $1.02 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 excludes a $3.4 million after-tax charge from previously announced restructuring activities and a $1.3 million after-tax gain from the net change in unrealized gains on open futures contracts and other items, net.

On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 was $35.9 million, or $0.63 diluted earnings per share, compared to income of $51.4 million, or $0.89 diluted earnings per share in the prior-year quarter.

In discontinued operations, the company took an after-tax charge of $4.2 million, or $0.07 per share, related to a legal judgment involving a Service Experts service center that had been sold in 2004.

Free Cash Flow and Total Debt: Net cash provided by operations in the second quarter was $66 million compared to $56 million in the prior-year quarter. The company invested approximately $11 million in capital assets resulting in free cash flow of $55 million for the quarter, compared to $44 million in the year-ago quarter. Total debt at the end of June 2009 was $320 million after the company paid down $85 million in the quarter. Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $99 million.

    Note:  Management uses adjusted income from continuing operations, which
    is not defined by U.S. GAAP, to measure the Company's operating
    performance and to analyze period-over-period changes in operating income
    with and without the effects of certain losses (gains) and other expenses,
    net, impairment of equity method investment and restructuring charges.
    Management believes that excluding these effects is helpful in assessing
    the overall performance of the Company.

    (1) Losses (gains) and other expenses, net include the following:
