FRANKLIN, TN, Wednesday, June 17, 2015—CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE: CLC) reported that its diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 increased 12% from the second quarter of 2014 to a record second quarter high of $0.76. Net sales increased $13.2 million, or 3%, from last year’s second quarter. These higher net sales were favorably influenced by $23.1 million, or 6%, of aggregate additional sales from the second quarter 2014 acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration and the first quarter 2015 acquisition of Filter Resources. Net sales were negatively impacted by $13.1 million, or 4%, from changes in average foreign currency exchange rates from last year’s second quarter.
Chris Conway, CLARCOR’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although we faced top-line headwinds in several of our major end-markets in the second quarter and we were unfavorably impacted by changes in average foreign currency exchange rates, our consolidated net sales increased $13.2 million, or 3%, from last year’s second quarter. Our ability to generate year-over-year sales growth despite challenging macroeconomic and industry environments is testament to our execution upon our long-term strategic growth initiatives. Our top-line growth in the second quarter was not only favorably impacted by the strategic business acquisitions of Stanadyne Filtration and Filter Resources, but we also benefited from additional sales from a significant new domestic heavy-duty engine filtration customer procured late last year in a relatively new distribution channel for us. The penetration of new distribution channels in our heavy-duty engine filtration business to complement our historical strength in the independent aftermarket is a strategic growth initiative we have focused on for several years. Our recent success in driving this initiative is evidenced by both last year’s acquisition of Stanadyne Filtration and our recent procurement of this new significant customer.
“Net sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased $12.9 million, or 9%, from the second quarter of 2014 driven by a $15.0 million, or 16%, increase in U.S. net sales partially offset by a $2.1 million, or 4%, reduction in international net sales. The increase in U.S. net sales from last year’s second quarter was driven by additional U.S. sales of $10.9 million pursuant to the Stanadyne acquisition and an 18% increase in heavy-duty engine filtration sales in our independent distribution aftermarket. Similar to the first quarter, this domestic independent aftermarket strength was the result of the positive impact of the significant new customer noted above. Excluding this new customer, sales into our domestic independent aftermarket would have declined from last year’s second quarter—which we believe is primarily the result of slowing macroeconomic activity and industry-wide softness that has driven inventory de-stocking at many of our independent aftermarket distributors in both on-road and off-road markets. Net sales in our other domestic heavy-duty engine filtration markets, including automotive and sales to other filter companies, also declined in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year quarter.
“International sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment were positively influenced by $7.1 million from additional international sales pursuant to our Stanadyne Filtration acquisition, but these additional sales were more than offset by the negative impact of $4.3 million from changes in average foreign currency exchange rates, as well as by continued challenges in several international markets that first arose in our first quarter. We experienced a significant reduction in heavy-duty engine filtration sales in China and in U.S. export filtration sales in the second quarter compared to the prior year quarter. We believe lower sales in China were driven by slowing macroeconomic activity in general and lower end-market diesel engine sales in particular. The decline in export filtration sales was partially driven by lower filter purchases from a significant global rental equipment customer—we believe based upon their end-market dynamics.
2
“Net sales in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment remained relatively flat—declining $0.9 million—from last year’s second quarter. However, these segment net sales were negatively influenced by $8.7 million, or 4%, from changes in average foreign currency exchange rates from last year’s second quarter. Overall, we experienced mixed net sales performance at our primary filtration end-markets in this reporting segment with our oil & gas filtration net sales increasing $5.0 million, or 8%, and our gas turbine filtration net sales declining $6.7 million, or 22%, from the second quarter of 2014. Geographically, oil & gas net sales were generally stronger in the U.S., and several international markets demonstrated solid second quarter net sales growth including Europe and Asia. We remain cautiously optimistic that our oil & gas net sales will continue to grow in excess of 10% for the full year 2015. However, we continue to be mindful of top-line risk dependent upon future oil prices and the timing of several significant natural gas filtration vessel orders scheduled to ship in our fourth quarter. The decline in net sales in our gas turbine filtration market from last year’s second quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in net sales of first-fit filters and systems arising from the timing of several large system sales which occurred during the prior-year quarter. We expect net sales of first-fit gas turbine filters and systems to continue to be relatively low in the third quarter. However, based upon visibility to a solid backlog, we anticipate a significant increase in our fourth quarter, when we expect to ship approximately 50% of our full year 2015 gas turbine first-fit filters and systems. Second quarter net sales performance for other filtration end-markets in this reporting segment was mixed but relatively flat overall in comparison to the prior year quarter.
“Our 14.7% operating margin in the second quarter declined from our 14.9% adjusted operating margin in last year’s second quarter. This 0.2 percentage point reduction was driven by a 0.6 percentage point increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a 0.4 percentage point improvement in gross margin. Higher selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were primarily driven by higher amortization expense pursuant to the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition and additional headcount and related costs to support growth initiatives, partially offset by a $1.8 million gain on sale of an asset in the second quarter of 2015. The 0.4 percentage point improvement in gross margin from last year’s second quarter was primarily driven by improved margin at our CLARCOR Industrial Air business in part due to a higher mix of aftermarket filter sales in relation to lower margin gas turbine first-fit filters and systems.”
2015 Guidance
We are revising our guidance for 2015 consolidated diluted earnings per share from our prior estimate of $3.15 to $3.35 to our current estimate of $3.00 to $3.15. These revised expected 2015 results are based upon projected consolidated net sales between $1,590 million and $1,620 million and consolidated operating margin between 14.2% and 15.3%. Expected sales growth (on a GAAP basis) from 2014 and operating margin by reporting segment and on a consolidated basis are as follows:
3
2015 Estimated Sales Growth | 2015 Estimated Operating Margin | ||
Engine/Mobile Filtration | 6.0% to 8.0% | 19.5% to 20.5% | |
Industrial/Environmental Filtration | 5.0% to 7.0% | 11.0% to 12.0% | |
Packaging | 2.0% to 4.0% | 6.0% to 9.0% | |
CLARCOR | 5.0% to 7.0% | 14.2% to 15.3% | |
The primary changes from our prior financial guidance relate to our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment. Based upon our expectation for continued softness in our international markets—including export sales from the U.S., and China—and based upon market dynamics experienced in the second quarter of 2015 in our domestic heavy-duty engine filtration market, we have reduced our estimated 2015 net sales for this reporting segment by approximately $30.0 million in comparison to our prior full year 2015 estimate. In addition, primarily based upon these lower expected sales and the related lower absorption of fixed costs, we have lowered our estimate for full year operating margin for our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment from 21.0% at the mid-point to 20.0% at the mid-point.
Our full year 2015 guidance assumes changes in foreign currency exchange rates from full year 2014 to negatively impact projected 2015 net sales by approximately $45 million, or 3%, and to negatively impact our projected 2015 diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.07.
We project 2015 cash from operations to be between $180 million and $200 million, capital expenditures to be between $75 million and $95 million and our effective tax rate to be between 31.5% and 32.5%. We expect 2015 interest expense to be between $6.0 million and $7.0 million and assume 50.8 million average diluted shares outstanding.
CLARCOR will be holding a conference call to discuss the second quarter 2015 results at 10:00 a.m. CT on June 18, 2015.

Reconciliation of Second Quarter 2014 GAAP Financial Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted Results
In addition to the GAAP results, this earnings release presents information with respect to non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter ended May 31, 2014. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to these non-GAAP measures are cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, net earnings, basic and diluted earnings per share, gross margin percentage, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and operating margin, respectively.
The quarter ended May 31, 2014 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude integration, purchase accounting and transaction related costs associated with the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions. Although the comparison of data excluding these selected items in the second quarter ended May 31, 2014 is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance. Management believes that removing the impact of these selected items provides a more comparable measure of the changes in cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, net earnings, basic and diluted earnings per share, gross margin percentage, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and operating margin for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended May 30, 2015.
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and management does not intend these measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Following are reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures of these non-GAAP financial measures.

CLARCOR INC. 2015 UNAUDITED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS, continued
Reconciliation of First Six Months 2014 GAAP Financial Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted Results
In addition to the GAAP results, this earnings release presents information with respect to non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP other income (expense), non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and non-GAAP operating margin for the first six months ended May 31, 2014. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to these non-GAAP measures are cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, other income (expense), net earnings, basic and diluted earnings per share, gross margin percentage, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and operating margin, respectively.
The first six months ended May 31, 2014 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude integration, purchase accounting and transaction related costs associated with the GE Air Filtration, Bekaert Advanced Filtration and Stanadyne Filtration acquisitions and a bargain purchase gain recognized pursuant to the Bekaert Advanced Filtration acquisition. Although the comparison of data excluding these selected items in the second quarter ended May 31, 2014 is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance. Management believes that removing the impact of these selected items provides a more comparable measure of the changes in cost of sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, operating profit, operating margin, other income (expense), net earnings, basic and diluted earnings per share, gross margin percentage, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and operating margin for the first six months ended May 31, 2014 compared to the first six months ended May 30, 2015.

CLARCOR INC. 2015 UNAUDITED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS, continued
Reconciliation of Second Quarter 2015 Net Sales to Organic Net Sales
The following appendix presents information with respect to second quarter 2015 organic net sales at the consolidated and segment level. These organic net sales figures reflect second quarter 2015 GAAP net sales adjusted to exclude additional sales pursuant to the Stanadyne Filtration acquisition during the 2015 second quarter occurring prior to May 1, 2015 (the first anniversary of the completion of this acquisition), additional sales pursuant to the Filter Resources acquisition, and changes in average foreign currency exchange rates from the second quarter of 2014. Although the comparison of data adjusted for these items in the second quarter of 2015 is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that presenting organic net sales for this period may assist investors in understanding the Company's performance between periods by excluding the impact of the Stanadyne Filtration and Filter Resources acquisitions to the extent noted above and the changes in average foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales may have limitations as an analytical tool, and management does not intend this measure to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net sales. Following is a reconciliation of GAAP net sales for the second quarter of 2015 to organic net sales at the consolidated and segment level.
