DALLAS, February 5, 2009 — Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2008 results. Financial results presented have been adjusted for discontinued operations.
For the fourth quarter, revenue was $746 million, down 15% from the prior year, including a 5 point negative impact from foreign exchange. Adjusted EBIT margin was up 20 basis points to 6.7%. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.52 compared to $0.55 in the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on a GAAP basis was $0.21 compared to $0.59 in the year-ago quarter.
For the full year, revenue was $3.5 billion, down 7% from the prior year, including a 1 point benefit from foreign exchange. Adjusted EBIT margin was up 10 basis points to 7.6%. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, a non-GAAP measure, was $2.71 compared to $2.51 in the prior year, up 8%. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on a GAAP basis was $2.15 compared to $2.44 in the prior year, down 12%.
“Despite difficult market conditions, Lennox posted improved EBIT margins for both the fourth quarter and full year on strong cost controls and operational execution,” said Todd Bluedorn, Chief Executive Officer. “Our cash generation was strong in 2008 and our free cash flow for the full year was $121 million. For 2009, we reaffirm our outlook provided in December of adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $2.10 to $2.50. Our GAAP EPS guidance from continuing operations is now a range of $1.91 to $2.31, reflecting additional restructuring initiatives. While the global slowdown can be seen across our end markets, we continue to lower our cost structure and execute on our strategic priorities.”

Note: Management uses adjusted income from continuing operations, which is not defined by U.S. GAAP, to measure the Company’s operating performance and to analyze period-over-period changes in operating income with and without the effects of certain losses (gains) and other expenses, net, restructuring charges, warranty program adjustment, certain tax items and impairment of equity method investment. Management believes that excluding these effects is helpful in assessing the overall performance of the Company.
