CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX Corporation SPW today reported results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014.

Second Quarter 2014 Overview:

  • Revenues increased 1.5% to $1.18 billion from $1.16 billion in the year-ago quarter. Currency fluctuations increased revenues by 1.4%. Organic revenues* increased 0.1%, including a decline of approximately $30 million associated with the ramp down of the power projects in South Africa. This decline was more than offset by organic revenue growth in other businesses.
  • Segment income and margins improved to $123.0 million and 10.4%, compared to $115.0 million and 9.9% in the year-ago quarter.

    • Q2 2014 segment income included a charge of $8.3 million related to increased cost estimates due primarily to subcontractor challenges on the power projects in South Africa reported in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment.
  • Diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $1.25, up 54% as compared to $0.81 in the year-ago quarter.

    • Q2 2014 diluted income per share from continuing operations included a $0.10 charge, net of taxes and minority interest, from the increased cost estimates noted above relating to the power projects in South Africa.
    • Q2 2014 diluted income per share from continuing operations also included a $0.09 benefit from discrete tax items.
  • Net cash used in continuing operations was $39.9 million and included $114.0 of income tax payments associated with gains on asset sales. In the year-ago quarter, net cash used in continuing operations was $247.6 million and included a $250 million discretionary pension contribution.
  • Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations* was $61.8 million, compared to a usage of $13.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

"SPX had a very good first half of 2014 as segment income increased 14% and margins expanded 120 points.  During the second quarter, earnings per share increased 54% over the prior year and segment income margins improved 50 points, marking our fifth consecutive quarter with year-over-year margin improvement.  The second quarter improvement was highlighted by our Flow segment where operating income increased 32% and margins improved 310 points to 13.4%," said Chris Kearney, Chairman, President and CEO of SPX. 

Kearney continued, "Order trends across our short cycle businesses are healthy and we are seeing strong quoting activity for large projects in Flow's key power and energy, food and beverage and industrial markets.  We expect revenue growth to accelerate in the second half of the year and continue to focus on improving our operating performance and strategically developing our Flow end markets.  In addition, we continued to return capital to shareholders by completing $140 million of share repurchases during the quarter.  To date, we have now completed approximately $330 million of the $500 million share repurchase plan.

"Looking at the full year, we are now targeting 3% to 5% revenue growth and 80 points of margin expansion.  And we reaffirmed our adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance range of $5.00 to $5.50."

CONTINUING OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

Flow Technology

Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $661.4 million, compared to $653.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $8.0 million, or 1.2%.  Currency fluctuations increased revenues 2.5%, while organic revenues* declined 1.3%. The decrease in organic revenues was due primarily to lower sales of industrial mixers.  This decline was largely offset by increased sales of oil pipeline and nuclear power valves, food and beverage equipment in Asia Pacific, and aftermarket products and services across multiple end markets.

Segment income was $88.3 million, or 13.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $67.0 million, or 10.3% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in segment income and margin was due primarily to cost reductions associated with restructuring actions and the increased revenue related to nuclear power valves, oil pipeline valves and aftermarket products and services.

Thermal Equipment and Services

Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $327.3 million, compared to $350.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $23.0 million, or 6.6%.  Organic revenues* declined 6.1%, while currency fluctuations decreased revenues by 0.5%.  The organic revenue decline was due to reduced revenue associated with the large power projects in South Africa, which continue to ramp down.  This decline was partially offset by increased sales of cooling equipment in Asia Pacific and personal comfort heating products in the United States. 

Segment income was $9.5 million, or 2.9% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $26.2 million, or 7.5% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2013.  The decrease in segment income and margin was due to reduced profitability on the power projects in South Africa.  This was partially caused by an $8.3 million charge related to increased cost estimates due primarily to subcontractor challenges on the power projects in South Africa.  To a lesser extent, the revenue decline in South Africa and favorable contract price adjustments recorded in Q2 2013 also contributed to the year-over-year decline in income and margin.

Industrial Products and Services and Other

Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $191.0 million, compared to $158.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $32.8 million, or 20.7%.  Organic revenues* increased 19.4% and currency fluctuations increased revenues by 1.3%.  Organic revenue increased across each business within the group, most notably due to a significant increase in power transformer shipments.

Income was $25.2 million, or 13.2% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $21.8 million, or 13.8% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2013.  The increased income was driven by the organic revenue growth.  Margins, however, declined due to the significant increase in power transformer revenues, which carry profit margins below the group average.

OTHER ITEMS

Share Repurchases:  The company repurchased a total of 1.368 million shares of common stock under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan for $140.1 million during the second quarter of 2014.  As of July 29, 2014, approximately $330 million of the $500 million share repurchase plan that began trading in December 2013 has been completed. 

Divestitures:  On April 10, 2014, the company completed the sale of SPX Precision Components for cash proceeds of $63.0 million.  In connection with this sale, the company recorded a loss, net of taxes, of $7.3 million to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" during the second quarter of 2014.  The financial results for SPX Precision Components, for all periods presented, were reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 

Dividend:   On May 28, 2014, the company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.375 per common share to shareholders of record on June 16, 2014, which was paid on July 2, 2014.
