BRISTOL, Conn., February 19, 2016 - Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), an international industrial and aerospace manufacturer and service provider, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015.
Fourth quarter 2015 net sales of $287 million were down 7% from $310 million in the prior year period. Organic sales (1) decreased 7%, while foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by 4%. The Thermoplay and Priamus acquisitions collectively contributed $11.0 million to sales. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $24.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $33.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share last year. On an adjusted basis, income from continuing operations was $0.60 per diluted share, down 3% from $0.62 a year ago. Fourth quarter 2015 adjusted diluted income from continuing operations excludes restructuring and workforce reduction charges of $0.05 per share and pension lump sum settlement charges of $0.11 per share. Fourth quarter 2014 adjusted diluted income from continuing operations excludes the impact of Männer short-term purchase accounting adjustments and costs related to the closure of the Company’s Saline, Michigan facility, which collectively contributed $0.02 per share.
For the full year, Barnes Group generated net sales of $1,194 million, down 5% from last year. Organic sales declined 1% and unfavorable foreign exchange impacted sales by $69 million, or 5%. Acquisitions contributed $16 million to 2015 sales. Income from continuing operations was $121.4 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared to $120.5 million, or $2.16 per diluted share in 2014. On an adjusted basis, income from continuing operations was $2.38 per diluted share, up 2% from $2.34 a year ago. Adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share in 2015 excludes a pension lump sum settlement charge of $0.11, short-term purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition transaction costs of $0.05, restructuring and workforce reduction charges of $0.05, and a contract termination dispute charge of $0.03. These unfavorable adjustments were offset in part by a $0.05 per share contribution from a tax refund received in the third quarter. For 2014, adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share exclude the impact of Männer short-term purchase accounting adjustments of $0.11 and costs related to the Saline facility closure which were $0.07.
A table reconciling 2015 and 2014 non-GAAP adjusted results presented in this release to our GAAP results is included at the end of this press release.
“We continued to make substantial strides executing our growth strategy throughout 2015, driving our Barnes Enterprise System deeper into the organization, and investing in our businesses both organically and through acquisitions. We closed on two acquisitions, Thermoplay and Priamus, both in our Molding Solutions business, supplementing our portfolio with additional highly engineered products and differentiated industrial technologies. Lingering softness in certain Industrial end-markets, and delivery shortfalls experienced in our Aerospace original equipment manufacturing business, weighed on our second half results,” said Patrick J. Dempsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barnes Group Inc.
“With the onset of a weakening macro environment during the second half, we undertook swift actions to cut discretionary spending, right-size our operations, and reduce our physical footprint. While these actions are difficult in the short-term, they are crucial to sustain our competitive positioning and financial health over the long-term. As a result of the investments made and these actions undertaken, we delivered full year net income which exceeded 2014’s result. In addition, we are better positioned to generate solid performance in the upcoming year,” added Dempsey.
Industrial
• | Fourth quarter 2015 sales were $190.2 million, down 4% from $198.2 million in the same period last year. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced sales by approximately $12.5 million, or 6%. Organic sales decreased by 3% in the quarter, primarily driven by continued soft industrial end-markets in North America and transportation end-markets in China, though partially offset by stronger personal care end-markets in our Molding Solutions business. For the quarter, the recently acquired Thermoplay and Priamus businesses together contributed $11.0 million in sales. |
• | Operating profit in the fourth quarter was $14.7 million, compared to $27.0 million in the prior year period. The decline in operating profit was driven by the reduced sales volumes, lower productivity, and unfavorable foreign exchange. These items were offset in part by lower employee related costs. In addition, $7.5 million of pension lump sum settlement charges, $3.4 million in restructuring and workforce reduction charges, and $0.3 million of short-term purchase accounting and acquisition transaction costs negatively impacted operating profit. Excluding these additional items, and the Männer and Saline charges last year, adjusted operating profit of $25.9 |
million was down 9% from $28.3 million a year ago. Adjusted operating margin was 13.6%, down 70 bps from 14.3% last year.
• | Full year 2015 sales were $782.3 million, down 5% from $822.1 million last year. Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by $68.8 million, while the Thermoplay and Priamus businesses provided $15.6 million of acquisition sales increase. Industrial’s organic sales grew 2% over the prior year primarily due to favorable end-markets served by our tool and die and Molding Solutions businesses during the first half of 2015. A softening within transportation and general industrial end-markets during the second half of 2015 tempered a substantial portion of the organic growth realized in the first half of the year. |
• | Full year operating profit of $103.0 million was down 5% from $108.4 million in the prior year. Operating profit benefited from higher organic sales, and was offset by lower productivity and the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange. In addition, $7.5 million of pension lump sum settlement charges, $3.6 million of short-term purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition transaction costs, and $3.4 million of restructuring and workforce reduction charges impacted results. For 2014, operating profit included $8.5 million of short-term purchase accounting adjustments and $6.0 million of restructuring charges related to the Saline facility closure. Excluding these items, adjusted operating profit was $117.5 million for 2015 versus $122.9 million a year ago, a decrease of 4%. Adjusted operating margin was 15.0%, up 10 bps from last year. |
Aerospace
• | Fourth quarter 2015 sales were $96.8 million, down 14% from $112.0 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily driven by lower Aerospace original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”) and aftermarket maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) sales, though partially offset by higher spare parts sales. |
• | Operating profit was $15.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $21.6 million in the prior year period. The operating profit decrease was primarily due to the lower profit on reduced sales volumes. In addition, $2.4 million of pension lump sum settlement charges and $0.8 million in restructuring and workforce reduction charges negatively impacted operating profit. Excluding these two items, adjusted operating profit of $18.6 million was down 14% from a year ago. For the fourth quarter, adjusted operating margin was 19.2%, 10 basis points lower than a year ago. |
• | Full year 2015 sales were $411.7 million, down 6% from $440.0 million last year. Decreased sales from the OEM and MRO businesses were only partially offset by higher spare parts sales. |
• | Operating profit was $65.4 million for 2015 versus $71.6 million a year ago. Operating profit was impacted by a lower contribution from reduced OEM sales, lower productivity, a $2.8 million charge from a contract termination dispute, $2.4 million of pension lump sum settlement charges, and $0.8 million in restructuring and workforce reduction charges. Partially offsetting these items were higher profits from both the MRO and spare parts businesses, and lower employee related costs, primarily incentive compensation. Excluding the contract termination dispute, pension lump sum settlement, and restructuring and workforce reduction charges, 2015 adjusted operating profit was $71.4 million, down slightly from the prior year. Adjusted operating margin increased 100 bps to 17.3% due to the favorable aftermarket mix. |
• | Aerospace backlog was $571 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, up 9% year-over-year, and up 2% sequentially from the third quarter of 2015. |
Additional Information
• | Interest expense decreased $0.7 million to $10.7 million in 2015 primarily as a result of lower average borrowings for the year, offset in part by a higher average interest rate. |
• | The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2015 was 23.2% compared with 27.6% in 2014. The effective tax rate decrease for 2015 over the full year 2014 rate is primarily due to a tax refund of withholding taxes, an extended tax holiday in China, and a change in the mix of earnings in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an increase in the repatriation of a portion of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. |
Pension Lump Sum Settlement Update
During the fourth quarter, the Company took action to reduce the size and potential volatility of its U.S. pension plan obligation by offering approximately 1,300 former employees an option to receive a lump sum distribution of their vested benefits by the end of 2015. Based on the offer acceptance level, cash payments of $28.0 million were made in December, funded by the assets of the Company's pension plan. Related to this settlement, a pre-tax charge of $9.9 million was recorded in the fourth quarter. This settlement charge has been excluded from adjusted earnings.
Share Repurchase Authorization
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to five million shares of Barnes Group common stock. Under this authorization, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions and other relevant factors. This action supplements the remaining shares under the 2011 Stock Repurchase Authorization which was nearing completion.
2016 Outlook
Barnes Group expects 2016 organic revenue growth of 0% to 2% with total revenue growth of 2% to 4% after consideration of 1% unfavorable foreign exchange and a positive 3% from acquisition revenues. Operating margins are forecasted to be in the range of 16% to 17%. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations are expected to be in the range of $2.43 to $2.58 per diluted share, up 2% to 8% from 2015’s adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.38. Further, the Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $50 million and cash conversion to approximate 100% of net income. For 2016, the effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 27% to 29%.
“While the second half of 2015 foreshadows a slower growth environment for the current year, the business investments we’ve made and the cost actions we’ve taken position us well for a good year in 2016,” said Christopher J. Stephens, Jr., Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, Barnes Group Inc. “Our continued strong cash flow expectation, balance sheet flexibility, and desire to make further investments position us favorably for the upcoming year.”

Notes: | |||||||
(1) The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes that the free cash flow metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that can be used to invest in future growth, pay dividends, repurchase stock and reduce debt. This metric can also be used to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company's liquidity. | |||||||
(2) For the purpose of calculating the cash conversion ratio, the Company has excluded the pension lump-sum settlement charge, net of tax, from 2015 net income and the utilization of the year-end 2013 income tax receivable (related to the gain on the sale of BDNA) to offset the 2014 payments from 2014 free cash flow. | |||||||
