(NYSE:CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported second quarter 2016 GAAP earnings of $1.15 per diluted share, compared to $0.95 per share in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding Special Items, second quarter 2016 earnings per diluted share were $1.21, compared to $1.06 per share in the second quarter of 2015. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)
Second quarter 2016 sales were $712 million, approximately flat compared to $711 million in the second quarter of 2015. Core sales increased $7 million, or 1%, offset by a $6 million, or 1%, impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.
Operating profit in the second quarter was $103 million, up 14% compared to $90 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding Special Items, operating profit was $108 million in the second quarter of 2016, up 9% compared to $99 million in the second quarter of 2015. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)
The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 27.0%, down from 31.5% last year. The lower rate primarily reflects the resolution of a tax audit during the quarter. Excluding Special Items, the effective tax rate was 27.4%, down from 31.0% last year. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)
“We are pleased with our second quarter results. We drove strong execution across all segments, order trends were consistent with our expectations, and EPS benefited from a lower tax rate. We are cautiously optimistic about the remainder of 2016 tempered only by continued economic uncertainty, including volatility in foreign exchange and commodity markets. Balancing these factors, we are raising the midpoint of our full-year adjusted EPS guidance range by $0.10,” said Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. |
In addition, Free Cash Flow provides supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
