"The fourth quarter was an encouraging end to a 2012 that was focused on rationalizing our businesses to enhance operating leverage and prepare us well for 2013," said Earl Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR. "We saw higher bookings in the fourth quarter versus the prior year, helping us end 2012 with over $60 million more in order backlog than 2011. We also reached record operating cash flow for the year, which allowed us to acquire two very strategically significant businesses and return a significant amount of capital to our shareholders through repurchasing 10.5 million of our shares and distributing $42 million in dividends."
Revenue and Earnings Outlook for 2013
FLIR also announced today that it expects revenue in 2013 to be in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, an increase of approximately 7% to 14% compared to 2012, and net earnings to be in the range of $1.56 to $1.66 per diluted share, an increase of approximately 8% to 14% compared to 2012.
Dividend Increase and Declaration
FLIR's Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share on FLIR common stock, an increase of 29% over the previous paid quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share. The Board of Directors has declared the dividend payable March 8, 2013, to shareholders of record as of close of business on February 19, 2013.
Share Repurchase Program
Also today, FLIR announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes up to 25 million shares to be repurchased over the next two years, replacing the previous program that expires on February 9, 2013. This authorization represents approximately 17% of FLIR's outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2012.
Any purchases made under the repurchase program may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. All purchases are subject to stock price, market conditions, corporate and legal requirements, and other factors. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by the Company's management, in its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using the Company's cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The program may be extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
