CIRCOR Reports Third-Quarter 2014 Financial Results

CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of valves and other highly engineered products for markets including oil & gas, power generation and aerospace & defense, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2014.

Third-Quarter 2014 Highlights

  • Orders increased 9%
  • Adjusted operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 11.4%
  • Adjusted EPS at $0.95
  • Year-to-date free cash flow was $35.7 million

“CIRCOR’s third-quarter results demonstrate the continued execution of our strategy,” said Scott Buckhout, CIRCOR President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenues were $204 million and margins expanded to 11.4%, 30 bps over a strong quarter last year. Our ongoing restructuring actions and productivity initiatives are on track and are having a measurable impact on our bottom-line performance.”

“Orders in our Energy business were up 18% during the third quarter and we expect the momentum to continue into the fourth quarter,” said Buckhout. “Quoting activity remains solid in the upstream Oil & Gas and power markets. Within Aerospace & Defense, orders were impacted by the exit of certain landing gear product lines. Overall backlog increased 5% sequentially to $432 million.”

“Going forward, we remain focused on growth, margin expansion and strong free cash flow,” concluded Buckhout.

Fourth-Quarter 2014 Guidance

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company expects:

  • Revenues in the range of $210 million to $225 million;
  • Adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring and special charges, in the range of $1.02 to $1.12; and,
  • Restructuring and special related charges of approximately $3.0 million to $3.3 million.
