  • Revenues of $649.6 million, up 40% versus prior year, supported by double-digit orders growth versus prior year across all three segments
  • Reported net income of $28.0 million, up versus the prior year net loss of $13.0 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $164.7 million, up 85% versus the prior year, reflecting a margin of 25.4%, an improvement of 620 basis points versus prior year
  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.41, up 173% versus prior year
  • Free cash flow of $54 million, up 210% from the prior year
  • Increasing 2017 guidance for adjusted EBITDA by 7% to $550 to $560 million

Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. GDI announced today third quarter revenues of $649.6 million, up 40% versus prior year and a 38% increase excluding the impact of foreign currency ("FX").

Net income in the quarter of $28.0 million resulted in an earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.13, based on diluted share count of 208.1 million. Adjusted net income of $85.2 million, up 266% versus prior year, resulted in adjusted diluted EPS of $0.41, up 173% versus prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $164.7 million, up 85% versus prior year. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues expanded 620 basis points to 25.4% as compared to 19.2% in the prior year.

In the third quarter, Gardner Denver generated $63.9 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $9.6 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $54.3 million, up 210% versus prior year. Third quarter net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage improved to 3.2x from 3.8x as compared to the second quarter of 2017. The leverage improvement was primarily driven by the improved adjusted EBITDA performance over the past year as well as increased cash generation as a result of operational performance and lower interest expense.

Gardner Denver's Chief Executive Officer, Vicente Reynal, said, "I am very pleased with our performance in the third quarter as our teams continue to demonstrate solid execution of our strategic imperatives, leading to outsized growth in the markets we serve. In addition, our operational efficiency initiatives around lean manufacturing and VAVE are providing us solid operating leverage as demonstrated in the quarter with adjusted EBITDA margins expanding 620 basis points to 25.4% and free cash flow improving over 200% versus prior year. Since our IPO we have been very focused on continuing to execute our simple and impactful strategy of deploying and building talent across the organization, expanding margins, accelerating profitable growth, and effectively allocating capital."

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Gardner Denver reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Diluted EPS" and "Free Cash Flow."

Gardner Denver believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company's operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Gardner Denver's business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. Gardner Denver believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding.

Gardner Denver uses Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Gardner Denver measures Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Gardner Denver believes Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for management and investors in assessing the Company's ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Management and Gardner Denver's board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company's operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Gardner Denver believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), diluted earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Gardner Denver's results as reported under GAAP.

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full year 2017 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations.
