Donaldson Company, Inc. DCI today reported fourth quarter net earnings of $56.3 million, or 41 cents per share1, and full-year net earnings of $208.1 million, or $1.49 per share. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted earnings by $5.4 million in fourth quarter and $14.3 million for the full year, or 7.5 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively. Adjusted earnings per share2 were 45 cents in fourth quarter and $1.58 in full-year 2015. In 2014, GAAP EPS was 50 cents in fourth quarter and $1.76 for the full year. The tables attached to this press release provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.
"Our fourth quarter performance exceeded our guidance, driven by better-than-expected sales combined with expense discipline across our Company," said Tod Carpenter, President and CEO. "Although some of our end markets became increasingly challenged and uncertain as the fiscal year progressed, we delivered local-currency sales growth of over 1 percent for the year.
During the year, we responded to reduced Customer demand by initiating restructuring actions, which we expect will generate annual savings of $35 million. At the same time, we continued investing for growth, including accelerating the expansion of our liquid filtration capabilities in Europe with our new plant in Poland, increasing our aftermarket distribution facilities in Latin America and Eastern Europe, and continuing the roll-out of our global ERP system.
Additionally, we are investing in acquisitions that support our strategy and growth plans. Early in fiscal 2015, we acquired Northern Technical, which expanded our product line and geographic reach in the Gas Turbine market. The acquisition of IFIL USA in June expands our Industrial filtration replacement filter product offering, while our recent acquisition of Engineered Products Company adds new products and technology to our Engine Products business. Later this fiscal year, we expect to complete the acquisition of Industrias Partmo in Colombia, which will provide additional products and distribution channels for our Engine Aftermarket business.
For full-year 2016, we expect to generate local-currency sales growth of 2 percent to 6 percent, as our investments in growth offset the expected continued weakness in many of our major end markets. This sales growth, combined with our Continuous Improvement initiatives and expense controls, are expected to contribute to an improvement in our operating margin and full-year EPS of $1.56 to $1.76."

In second quarter of fiscal 2015, Donaldson began reporting adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjusted EPS") measures, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain matters not related to the Company's ongoing operations, including restructuring charges and expenses related to pension settlements. See the "Restructuring Charges and Other Adjusting Items" section of this release for more information. | |
Sales Results
Compared with last year, fourth quarter sales declined 8.8 percent and full-year sales declined 4.1 percent. Foreign currency translation reduced fourth quarter sales by $51.8 million, or 7.8 percent, and full-year sales by $134.8 million, or 5.5 percent. The table below outlines the year-over-year percentage change for each business segment, with and without the impact of foreign currency translation.
Excluding the impact of currency translation, total sales decreased 1.1 percent in fourth quarter, reflecting a 5.7 percent decline in Engine Products, partially offset by an increase of 6.9 percent in Industrial Products.
Full-year 2015 sales in local currencies increased 1.3 percent, reflecting an increase in Industrial Products of 5.6 percent, partially offset by a decline of 1.1 percent in Engine Products.

Operating Margin Results
Fourth quarter operating margin was 12.8 percent, which includes a negative impact from restructuring and impairment charges of 1.2 percentage points. Excluding this impact, adjusted operating margin was 14.0 percent in fourth quarter, compared with 14.9 percent last year.
Fourth quarter gross margin decreased 2.6 percentage points to 33.1 percent from 35.7 percent last year. The decrease was driven primarily by lower fixed-cost absorption and the mix of sales, which impacted gross margin by 2.0 percentage points. Additionally, restructuring and asset impairment charges reduced gross margin by 0.9 percentage points in fourth quarter. Donaldson's Continuous Improvement initiatives partially offset these gross margin pressures.
As a percent of sales, fourth quarter operating expenses decreased 0.5 percentage points to 20.3 percent from 20.8 percent last year, reflecting lower compensation expenses and disciplined expense management, partially offset by a 0.3 percentage point impact related to restructuring charges.
Full-year 2015 operating margin was 12.2 percent, which includes 0.7 percentage points related to restructuring charges, asset impairments, and the lump-sum pension settlement recorded in second quarter. Excluding this impact, full-year adjusted operating margin was 12.9 percent in 2015, compared with adjusted operating margin of 14.5 percent in 2014.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 27.7 percent in fourth quarter and 27.9 percent for the full year, in line with the fourth quarter and full-year rates in fiscal 2014.
Capital Returned to Shareholders
In fourth quarter, Donaldson repurchased 1.57 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $35.05 for a total of $55.1 million.
During full-year 2015, the Company repurchased 6.68 million shares, or 4.7 percent of the total diluted outstanding shares, at an average price of $38.39 for a total of $256.3 million.
On May 29, 2015, Donaldson's Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 3 percent to 17 cents per share from 16.5 cents per share. In 2015, the Company distributed to its Shareholders dividends of $23.0 million and $91.2 million in fourth quarter and full-year 2015, respectively.
Fiscal 2016 Outlook3
Donaldson expects full-year 2016 sales of $2.32 billion to $2.42 billion, or a decline of 2 percent to an increase of 2 percent versus fiscal 2015. In local currency, full-year sales are expected to increase 2 percent to 6 percent.
- Based on a forecast of the euro at US$1.09 and 124 yen to the US$, foreign currency translation is expected to negatively impact full-year 2016 sales by approximately $85 million.
Fiscal 2016 GAAP EPS is expected to be $1.56 to $1.76, and Donaldson currently forecasts GAAP EPS will be approximately 1 cent lower than adjusted EPS4.
- Full-year 2016 operating margin is expected to be between 12.9 percent and 13.7 percent, reflecting the benefits from completed restructuring actions and ongoing operational improvements, partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses and the foreign exchange rates.
- Donaldson expects full-year interest expense to increase by approximately $4 million, reflecting the additional debt issued in fiscal 2015 associated with the Company's stated goal of maintaining a leverage ratio of approximately 1.5 times debt-to-EBITDA.
- Full-year 2015 effective tax rate is expected to be between 26.5 percent and 28.5 percent.
- We expect to repurchase between 2 percent and 4 percent of its outstanding shares in fiscal 2016.
3 |
The fiscal 2016 outlook excludes the acquisition of Industrias Partmo, which is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 following customary regulatory approval in Colombia. | |
4 |
Fiscal 2016 GAAP EPS is expected to be lower than adjusted EPS by approximately 1 cent related to the final stages of closing the Company's facility in Grinnell, Iowa. Donaldson expects to recognize all of these charges during first quarter. | |
Engine Products: Full-year 2016 Engine Product sales are expected to be in a range between a 2 percent decline and a 2 percent increase compared with 2015. In local currency, sales are expected to increase 2 percent to 6 percent, reflecting:
- Continued weakness in the global agriculture and mining equipment markets, partially offset by modest growth in on-road heavy truck and stable conditions in the construction equipment market.
- Growing utilization of on-road heavy-duty trucks and construction equipment in the field, while utilization of agriculture and mining equipment is expected to be down slightly. Donaldson expects growth in replacement filter sales resulting from the continued expansion of its proprietary first-fit platforms, combined with continued geographic and product portfolio expansion initiatives.
- Growing sales of commercial aerospace products are expected to be partially offset by a continued slowdown in U.S. defense spending.
Industrial Products: Full-year 2016 Industrial Product sales are forecast to be in a range between a 3 percent decline and a 1 percent increase compared with 2015. In local currency, sales are expected to increase 1 percent to 5 percent.
- Industrial Filtration Solutions' sales are expected to increase in the low-single-digit range, benefitting from the introduction of new products and growth in the Company's aftermarket business.
- Gas Turbine sales are expected to decline between 9 percent and 13 percent, reflecting an expected market decline led by Europe and Asia Pacific, partially offset by continued aftermarket market share gains and leveraging the Northern Technical acquisition.
- Special Applications' sales are expected to decline slightly due to the membrane and disk drive businesses, partially offset by growth in venting and semiconductor products.
Restructuring Charges and Other Adjusting Items
Donaldson has taken numerous actions to align its operating and manufacturing cost structure with current and projected Customer and end-market demand. In fiscal 2015, these actions included:
- Rebalancing and reducing the current salaried and production workforce globally,
- Closing a production facility in Grinnell, Iowa, and
- Write-off of a partially completed facility in Xuzhou, China.
For the above actions, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges of $7.1 million in fourth quarter and $13.0 million for the full year 2015, compared with $0.6 million and $3.0 million in fiscal 2014, respectively.
In second quarter 2015, the Company recorded a $3.9 million charge related to a lump-sum settlement of its U.S. pension plan.

Although free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly used measure of a company's ability to generate cash in excess of its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating earnings less non-cash expenses. We evaluate our results of operations both on an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchanges rates and compared these adjusted amounts to our prior period reports results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is that they do not reflect the company's actual results under GAAP. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures |
