FRANKLIN, TN, Wednesday, June 18, 2014--CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE:  CLC) reported that its diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 increased 3% from the second quarter of 2013 to a record second quarter high of $0.68.  These second quarter results were negatively impacted by $6.3 million for integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs associated with three acquisitions in the current fiscal year.  When adjusted for these costs, the Company’s second quarter non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.76 increased 15% and non-GAAP adjusted operating profit increased 16% compared to the Company’s diluted earnings per share and operating profit during the second quarter of 2013. 1 Net sales in the second quarter of 2014 increased $99.0 million, or 34%, from last year’s second quarter primarily driven by $79.5 million of additional sales from the three fiscal year 2014 acquisitions.  Net sales of our base business increased $19.5 million, or 7%, from the second quarter of 2013, including 9% organic sales growth in the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment and 5% organic sales growth in the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment.





All references in this earnings release to the financial results of our “base business” or “organic” financial results, at the consolidated or reporting segment level, refer to our consolidated or segment results without giving effect to the three fiscal year 2014 acquisitions.





Chris Conway, CLARCOR’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter was an exciting quarter for us from many perspectives.  Our financial performance was highlighted by 34% top-line growth, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 15% from the second quarter of 2013.  We continued to shape our filtration asset portfolio with the acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration--whose operations were included in the last month of our second quarter financial results.  The integration of GE Air Filtration continued on course with another solid quarter, and our base business generated 7% organic sales growth from last year’s second quarter as some of our long-term growth initiatives gained traction.   We also continued to focus on long-term initiatives including driving the development of value-added technology, expanding profitably in international markets and exploring opportunities to further enhance our filtration portfolio.





“We are very excited about our second quarter acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration--renamed CLARCOR Engine Mobile Solution, or CEMS--which nicely complements our existing heavy-duty engine filtration business.  CEMS focuses heavily on fuel filtration solutions for original equipment (OE) customers primarily for smaller, off-road heavy-duty engines and with aftermarket distribution through OE dealers.  Prior to this acquisition, we had identified penetrating new distribution channels in our heavy-duty engine filtration business as a key growth initiative.  This acquisition greatly accelerates our progress with this initiative through the addition of over $110 million of annual sales, of which over 70% is aftermarket business sold primarily through OE dealers--a sales channel where we have not historically had a strong presence.  Going forward, we will explore expanding sales through this distribution channel with our existing oil, air and hydraulic heavy-duty engine filtration products.  In addition, we anticipate selling CEMS products into new global markets, as we plan to leverage our existing global footprint to support existing and new CEMS customers outside the U.S. and Europe.  The first month operating performance at CEMS was consistent with our expectations with $9.0 million of sales and a non-GAAP adjusted operating margin--excluding $4.4 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs slightly above our historical Engine/Mobile Filtration segment operating margin range.

“The integration of GE Air Filtration--renamed CLARCOR Industrial Air, or CIA--continues to meet our expectations.  We believe that most integration activities should be materially completed in our third quarter.  We are pleased with CIA’s second quarter operating performance with net sales of $67.0 million, an operating margin of 7% and a non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 10%--excluding $1.8 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs.  Second quarter sales increased 20% from last year’s second quarter when under GE’s ownership.  This sales growth was primarily driven by a 10% increase in industrial air filtration sales and a more than doubling of sales of gas turbine air intake filtration systems compared to last year’s second quarter primarily due to a significant sales increase in larger, heavy-duty air intake filtration systems.  The 10% non-GAAP adjusted operating margin was higher than our expectations heading into the second quarter primarily due to a lower than expected sales mix of lower-margin gas turbine air intake filtration systems.  We also continued to develop strategies to improve the long-term operating margin profile for this business including reducing costs as we transition from GE internal processes and exploring incremental top-line opportunities, notably with non-GE gas turbine customers, and through leverage of our industry-leading product line of gas turbine replacement filters.





“Despite the significant acquisition activity in the first six months, we have not taken our focus off of our base business, where net sales increased 7% from last year’s second quarter.  This strong organic sales growth was across many of our diverse filtration markets.  Organic sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased 5% from the second quarter of 2013 including 9% sales growth in our domestic heavy-duty engine filtration aftermarket and 12% sales growth in our railroad filtration market.  The 9% sales growth in our domestic heavy-duty engine aftermarket was higher than our expectations heading into the quarter, as we had assumed that strong sales growth at the end of our first quarter was the result of a “pull ahead” of sales from the second quarter in response to an announced price increase.  Instead, this growth rate continued through the second quarter, which we believe was the result of general strength in the U.S. trucking industry and our success in attracting new customers.  Organic sales in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased 9% from the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to 10% sales growth in our oil & gas filtration market.  Strong top-line organic growth in this reporting segment compared with last year’s second quarter was not limited to the oil & gas filtration market.  For example, second quarter sales of HVAC filtration products increased 7%; sales at our TFS distribution business also increased 7%, and sales of our UAS dust collection systems increased 20%.  In summary, despite investing significant time and energy to consummate and integrate the current year acquisitions, we continue to successfully drive strategic organic growth in our core filtration markets.”





Second Quarter Results:





Engine/Mobile Filtration Segment





Net sales at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased $16.0 million, or 12%, from the second quarter of 2013 including $9.0 million from the acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration (one month of operations).  Organic sales increased $7.0 million, or 5%, from last year’s second quarter including 8% domestic sales growth and flat sales at foreign locations.  Higher second quarter domestic sales were driven by a 9% increase in the heavy-duty engine filtration aftermarket and a 13% increase in railroad filtration product sales primarily due to higher end-market demand driven by higher rail activity.

---




Operating profit at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment declined $2.1 million, or 7%, and operating margin of 18.2% declined 3.8 percentage points from the last year’s second quarter. These second quarter results included $4.4 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the Stanadyne acquisition.  Excluding these costs, non-GAAP adjusted operating profit increased $2.3 million, or 8%, and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 21.1% declined 0.9 percentage points from the second quarter of 2013.  The Stanadyne acquisition contributed an estimated $2.5 million of non-GAAP adjusted operating profit--excluding the acquisition costs noted above--for the month of May while the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment base business operating profit was relatively flat, and base business operating margin declined despite higher sales.  Consistent with recent prior quarters, lower year-over-year base business operating margin was partially driven by higher fixed costs to support future growth.  Operating margin at each reporting segment was also negatively impacted by approximately 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter compared to last year’s second quarter due to higher allocated corporate costs including incentive compensation and other growth-related costs.





Industrial/Environmental Filtration Segment





Net sales at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased $82.9 million, or 61%, from the second quarter of 2013, which included sales of $67.0 million from the GE Air Filtration acquisition and sales of $3.5 million from the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition.  Second quarter organic sales increased $12.4 million, or 9%, from last year’s second quarter including 8% domestic sales growth and 11% foreign sales growth.  Sales of oil & gas filtration products increased 10% from last year’s second quarter driven by strong end-market demand in several geographic markets including the U.S. and the Middle East.  Second quarter sales growth in our non-oil & gas filtration markets in this reporting segment was also strong as our dust collection business benefited from higher sales to OE customers, our HVAC filtration business benefited from higher sales to wholesale customers and our TFS distribution business continues its growth across many end markets.





Operating profit at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased $4.6 million, or 25%, and operating margin of 10.5% declined 3.0 percentage points from last year’s second quarter.  These second quarter results included $1.9 million of integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the GE Air Filtration and Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisitions.  Excluding these costs, non-GAAP adjusted operating profit increased $6.5 million, or 36%, and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 11.4% declined 2.1 percentage points, from the second quarter of 2013.  This lower Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment non-GAAP adjusted operating margin was partially driven by the two acquisitions, unfavorable year-over-year sales mix at our dust collection business and lower absorption at our aerospace and industrial filtration business.  Operating margin at each reporting segment was also negatively impacted by approximately 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter compared to last year’s second quarter due to higher allocated corporate costs including incentive compensation and other growth-related costs.

Packaging Segment





Net sales at our Packaging segment increased $0.1 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of 2013.  These relatively flat sales were primarily the result of higher tobacco packaging and decorated flat sheet sales from new business opportunities offset by lower spice, battery and film packaging sales.  Operating profit at our Packaging segment declined $0.7 million, or 38%, and operating margin of 6.3% declined 3.9 percentage points from last year’s second quarter.  This lower second quarter operating margin was primarily driven by a higher mix of lower margin products in addition to higher utility costs--notably natural gas--compared with the second quarter of 2013.





2014 Guidance





In our first quarter earnings release, we disclosed our range of expectations for 2014 diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis.  In this second quarter earnings release, we also provide our 2014 diluted earnings per share guidance based upon expected non-GAAP adjusted financial results with reconciliation to GAAP financial results.





We project 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.72 and $2.82 compared with our previous 2014 diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.60 to $2.75.  The increase in this guidance range at the mid-point was primarily driven by the Stanadyne acquisition which we expect to be accretive for the full year 2014.  We anticipate 2014 consolidated operating margin to be in the range from 13.6% to 14.2% and 2014 consolidated net sales to be as follows:





$ MillionsLowerUpperBase business$1,175-$1,195GE Air Filtration acquisition235-255Stanadyne Filtration acquisition60-65Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition15-20Net sales$1,485-$1,535





We project 2014 non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.85 to $2.95.  This non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance includes anticipated operating results from the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions but excludes integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to these acquisitions, as well as a bargain purchase gain related to the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition.  We anticipate 2014 non-GAAP adjusted consolidated operating margin to be in the range from 14.5% to 15.1%.

Base Business





Included in our consolidated 2014 guidance are estimated diluted earnings per share of between $2.42 and $2.52 for our base business--excluding the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions.  We reduced this guidance from our first quarter earnings release by approximately $0.03 at each the upper and lower ends of our previous base business guidance primarily due to additional corporate costs expected to be incurred in 2014 including incentive compensation, audit and legal fees partially offset by operating profit on higher sales and a reduction in the expected full year tax rate.  These additional corporate costs are allocated to the reporting segments, and we anticipate that they will impact 2014 operating margin for each reporting segment by approximately 0.3 percentage points.  In addition, we increased our expectations for sales growth for our base business from a previous range of 3.0% to 5.0% to a current range of 3.5% to 5.5%.  This higher expected sales growth range was driven by increases in expected sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration and Industrial/Environmental Filtration segments.  Sales growth and operating margin detail in support of our 2014 guidance for our base business is as follows:

2 - Excludes the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions.  These acquisitions do not impact the Packaging segment.

GE Air Filtration Acquisition





We anticipate that the GE Air Filtration acquisition will positively impact 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share from $0.13 to $0.18.  This guidance range includes interest expense on $80 million of debt incurred to finance the acquisition at an assumed 2.0% blended interest rate.  Our expectations for this positive impact on 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share is approximately $0.03 higher than our prior quarter expectations primarily due to a 1% increase in expected full year operating margin.  We expect full year GAAP operating margin to be in the range from 4% to 6%.  Projected 2014 financial results for the GE Air Filtration acquisition include approximately $8.0 million of intangible asset amortization expense.





We expect the positive impact from the GE Air Filtration acquisition on 2014 non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range from $0.25 to $0.30, and we expect 2014 non-GAAP adjusted operating margin to be in the range from 8% to 10%.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude expected integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the GE Air Filtration acquisition of $9.5 million--of which $8.5 million was incurred in the first six months of 2014.





Stanadyne Filtration Acquisition





We anticipate that seven months of operations from the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition will positively impact 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share from $0.08 to $0.12.  This guidance includes interest expense on $325 million of debt incurred to finance the acquisition at an assumed 2.0% blended interest rate.  Projected 2014 financial results for the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition include approximately $7.0 million of intangible asset amortization expense over seven months.





We expect the positive impact from the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition on 2014 non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range from $0.14 to $0.18.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude expected integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs pursuant to the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition of $4.4 million--all of which were incurred in the second quarter of 2014.





Bekaert Advanced Filtration Acquisition





We anticipate that the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition will positively impact 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.06--entirely from the $2.8 million (non-taxable) bargain purchase gain recognized in the first quarter of 2014.





Cash Flow, Taxes and Shares





For full year 2014 on a consolidated basis (inclusive of acquisitions), we project cash from operations between $170 million and $190 million, capital expenditures between $70 million and $85 million, an effective tax rate between 31.75% and 32.25% and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 51.0 million.

CLARCOR INC. 2014 UNAUDITED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS, continued


Reconciliation of Second Quarter 2014 GAAP Financial Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted Results





In addition to GAAP results, this earnings release presents information with respect to non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended May 31, 2014.  These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP measures are cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, operating margin, net earnings and diluted earnings per share, respectively.





The quarter ended May 31, 2014 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude integration, purchase accounting and deal related costs associated with the GE Air Filtration acquisition, the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition and the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition.  Although the comparison of data excluding these selected items in our second quarter ended May 31, 2014 is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance.  Management believes that removing the impact of these selected items provides a more comparable measure of the changes in cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, operating margin, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended June 1, 2013.





These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and management does not intend these measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.  Following are reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures of these non-GAAP financial measures.
