Ingersoll Rand Announces Pricing of $1.1 Billion of Senior Notes

Ingersoll-Rand plc (NYSE:IR), a world leader in creating comfortable, sustainable and efficient environments, today announced that it priced a $1.1 billion debt offering consisting of three tranches, maturing in 2020, 2024 and 2044.

  • $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.625% notes due in 2020
  • $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.550% notes due on 2024
  • $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.650% notes due on 2044

We intend to use all or a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to (i) fund the redemption of our existing $200 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50 percent senior notes due 2015 and $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75 percent senior notes due 2015 and (ii) fund our previously announced acquisition of Cameron International Corporation’s Centrifugal Compression division (the “Acquisition”), with allocation of net proceeds between (i) and (ii) to be dependent on the timing of the Acquisition. We expect to use any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

To refine the estimate provided in August, the redemption premium expense, after tax, for the early retirement of these notes will approximate $9 million and will negatively impact fourth-quarter and full-year earnings per share by approximately $0.03 per share. Additionally, the lower interest costs for the new debt and the early refinancing of the 2015 notes will reduce the future annualized total interest expense by approximately $10 million. This will be offset by the interest cost of the incremental $600 million of notes being issued, which will increase future annualized interest expense by approximately $22 million.

To reflect the impact of the newly issued notes and the early redemption of the 2015 notes, the company is updating its fourth-quarter estimate for reported earnings per share from continuing operations to a range of $0.63 to $0.67. For the full-year 2014, the company is updating its estimate for reported earnings per share from continuing operations to a range of $3.12 to $3.16.
