SPX Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results


CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today reported results for the quarter ended June 27, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Overview:

  • Revenues declined 10.1% to $1.1 billion from $1.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. The impact of the stronger U.S. Dollar on foreign currencies decreased revenues by 6.5%. Organic revenues* decreased 3.6%, due primarily to lower power and energy revenue in the Flow and Thermal segments, largely reflecting the impact of lower oil prices on customers' capital spending decisions and on-going weakness in power generation markets.
  • Segment income and margins declined to $106.1 million and 9.9%, compared to $127.9 million and 10.7% in the year-ago quarter, due primarily to the organic revenue decline.
  • Diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $0.96 in Q2 2015 as compared to diluted net income of $1.32 per share in Q2 2014.
    • The Q2 2015 results included $0.10 per share of costs associated with the planned spin-off of the Flow business.
  • Net cash from continuing operations was $10.6 million, compared to a net cash usage of $38.8 million in Q2 2014, which included $114.0 million of income tax payments associated with gains on asset sales.
  • Free cash flow used in continuing operations* was $4.4 million, compared to $51.1 million in Q2 2014.

"Our Q2 results reflect the challenging demand environment across our energy and industrial markets, as well as the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar versus the prior year.  These headwinds were partially offset by a second consecutive quarter of strong improvement in our Food and Beverage business which reported 8.1% organic revenue growth and 320 points of operating margin improvement year-over-year," said Chris Kearney, Chairman, President and CEO of SPX. 

"Given the on-going challenges in our power and energy businesses, we continue to focus on actions to aggressively manage our cost structure and drive improved productivity.  We have identified additional structural actions for this year that are expected to improve the cost position at both future companies in 2016 and beyond."

"For the full year, we have narrowed our target ranges for revenue and EBITDA(1).  We now anticipate revenue to decline 7 to 9 percent, including a 5 percent currency headwind, with EBITDA(1) in the range of $500 to $520 million versus our previous target of $500 to $540 million," said Kearney.

"From a strategic perspective, we remain on track to complete the spin-off of our Flow business towards the end of the third quarter.  We believe this is a unique opportunity to create value for our shareholders at both future companies, SPX FLOW, Inc. and the new SPX Corporation."

2015 Financial Modeling Approach:

The company updated its 2015 financial modeling targets for revenue, segment income, EBITDA(1) and other reasonably predictable items.  SPX management does not believe it is useful to provide 2015 EPS guidance given its plan to complete the spin-off of its Flow business in Q3 2015 and the uncertain timing of related financial impacts. 

Updated 2015 Financial Modeling Targets:



Total revenues vs. 2014

Currency impact to revenues

Flow Technology  

Revenues for Q2 2015 were $578.0 million, compared to $661.4 million in Q2 2014, a decrease of $83.4 million, or 12.6%.  Currency fluctuations decreased revenues 8.4%, or $55.6 million, and organic revenues* declined 4.2%, or $27.8 million. The decrease in organic revenues was due primarily to a 22.2% organic decline in power and energy sales, largely reflecting the impact of lower oil prices.  This decline was partially offset by 8.1% organic growth in food and beverage sales and 5.3% organic growth across industrial markets.

Segment income was $75.9 million, or 13.1% of revenues, in Q2 2015, compared to $88.3 million, or 13.4% of revenues, in Q2 2014. Segment income and margin were lower versus the prior year due primarily to currency fluctuations and the organic decline in power and energy revenues, partially offset by improved operational performance within the food and beverage business, as well as cost reductions associated with restructuring actions. 

Thermal Equipment and Services

Revenues for Q2 2015 were $298.0 million, compared to $327.3 million in Q2 2014, a decrease of $29.3 million, or 9.0%.  Currency fluctuations decreased revenues 5.3%, or $17.5 million, and organic revenues* declined 3.7%, or $11.8 million.  The organic revenue decline was concentrated in power generation markets and due primarily to lower sales of heat exchangers in Asia Pacific and cooling equipment in the Americas. 

Segment income was $6.1 million, or 2.0% of revenues, in Q2 2015, compared to $9.5 million, or 2.9% of revenues, in Q2 2014.  The decrease in segment income and margin was due primarily to the revenue decline described above. 

Industrial Products and Services and Other

Revenues for Q2 2015 were $198.4 million, compared to $206.4 million in Q2 2014, a decline of $8.0 million, or 3.9%.  Organic revenues* declined 2.0%, while currency fluctuations decreased revenues by 1.9%.  The organic revenue decline was due primarily to lower sales of hydraulic technologies, fare collection systems and communication technologies, partially offset by an increase in sales of power transformers.

Segment income was $24.1 million, or 12.1% of revenues, in Q2 2015, compared to $30.1 million, or 14.6% of revenues, in Q2 2014.  The decline in segment income and margin was due primarily to the revenue decline described above and an unfavorable sales mix.

OTHER ITEMS

Dividend:   On May 28, 2015, the company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.375 per common share to shareholders of record on June 16, 2015, which was paid on July 1, 2015.  In anticipation of the pending spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc., the second quarter dividend payment is expected to be the final cash dividend payment by the combined company.  At this time, SPX Corporation does not expect to pay a cash dividend for the foreseeable future.

Form 10-Q:  The company expects to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than August 6, 2015. This press release should be read in conjunction with that filing, which will be available on the company's website at www.spx.com, in the Investor Relations section.
