First Quarter Results

Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Demand was very good in Europe, and growth in the Americas was solid. In China, our sales performance improved, but it has not yet resulted in year over year sales growth. In other regions of Asia / Rest of the World, growth was good. Despite currency headwinds, we generated solid EPS growth as we continue to benefit from our various margin and cost control initiatives.”

EPS in the quarter was $1.93, compared with the prior-year amount of $1.69. Adjusted EPS was $2.00, an increase of 9% over the prior-year amount of $1.84.

Sales were $550.6 million, a 4% increase in local currency sales, compared with $524.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Reported sales increased 5%, and included a 1% benefit due to currency in the quarter. By region, local currency sales increased 9% in Europe, 3% in the Americas and 1% in Asia / Rest of World as compared to the prior year. Adjusted operating income amounted to $91.0 million, a 6% increase from the prior-year amount of $85.4 million. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to earnings before taxes is provided in the attached schedules.

Cash flow from operations was $42.8 million, compared with $23.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

Outlook

The Company updated its outlook for 2014 and noted that uncertainty in demand in some markets makes forecasting challenging. Based on today’s assessment, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in 2014 will be approximately 4% and Adjusted EPS in the range of $11.45 to $11.60, an increase of 8% to 10%. This compares to previous guidance of Adjusted EPS in the range of $11.40 to $11.60.

The Company stated that based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates local currency sales growth in the second quarter of 2014 will be in the range of 3% to 4%. This sales growth will result in Adjusted EPS in the range of $2.50 to $2.55, an increase of 6% to 9%.

Adjusted EPS excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring charges and other one-time items. While the Company has provided an outlook for Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for EPS as it would require an estimate of non-recurring items, which are not yet known.

Conclusion

Filliol concluded, “We have become more optimistic for the developed world as market conditions appear to be improving. In the short term, conditions will remain challenging in emerging markets, particularly in China, although we expect that these regions will regain momentum and again become an important contributor to growth. Globally we are capitalizing on our sales and marketing programs and new product launches. We are focused on execution and are convinced we can continue to enhance our market position.”
