Pentair Reports Second Quarter Net Income Per Share From Continuing Operations of $1.39; Adjusted EPS of $0.68, Up 11%

July 22, 2008

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2008--Pentair, Inc. (NYSE:PNR):

  • Reports second quarter sales of $910 million, up 1 percent versus the second quarter 2007
  • Delivers earnings per share from continuing operations (EPS) of $1.39 on a reported basis and adjusted(a) EPS of $0.68 up 11 percent
  • Delivers adjusted income from continuing operations of $68 million, up 12 percent
  • Announces transaction with GE to create residential water filtration business, settles Horizon legal case, and announces significant restructuring and other actions
  • Introduces third quarter guidance and updates full year guidance

(a) Adjusted 2008 and 2007 EPS exclude the impact of gains/losses from acquisitions and divestitures, the settlement of the Horizon litigation and the negative impact associated with restructuring costs and other market related actions. Adjusted 2008 and 2007 Operating Income and Margins exclude the settlement of the Horizon litigation, the negative impact associated with restructuring costs and other market related actions in the respective period. All financial information and period-to-period references are on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. Reconciliations to discontinued operations as well as GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliations are in the attached financial tables.

Pentair, Inc. (NYSE:PNR) today announced second quarter 2008 net earnings per diluted share from continuing operations (EPS) of $1.39. This represents an increase of 228 percent as compared to the $0.61 of reported EPS from continuing operations in the second quarter last year. Current period results include a 86 cents per share gain from the transaction with GE Water & Process Technologies, a unit of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), to combine residential water filtration businesses as well as a negative $0.14 per share impact from the Horizon settlement, and a $0.01 per share negative impact from restructuring charges. Adjusting for these items, second quarter 2008 EPS was $0.68, up 11 percent year over year.

Total company sales increased 1 percent to $910 million as compared with $899 million in the second quarter of 2007. The company delivered second quarter operating income of $95 million. On an adjusted basis, the company delivered operating income of $118 million versus $113 million in the year-ago quarter. Overall, adjusted operating margins for the second quarter expanded 50 basis points to 13.0 percent driven by a positive 360 basis point improvement from productivity, price, and product mix. The positive impact from these items more than offset a negative 310 basis point impact related to total inflation and foreign exchange.

Pentair generated free cash flow of $135 million for the quarter. Year-to-date, the company has generated $57 million of free cash flow. The company said it remains on track to achieve free cash flow greater than $235 million.

"Overall, our businesses performed very well in the second quarter as we navigated through persistently soft residential markets and a weaker-than-expected residential pool market. Our business diversity, growing international market penetration, and aggressive cost-takeout measures continue to enable us to meet the commitments we laid out earlier in the year," said Randall J. Hogan, chairman and chief executive officer.

SECOND QUARTER BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

The Water Group delivered $605 million in sales, down 6 percent year over year. Organic sales were down 9 percent excluding foreign exchange, driven by continuing softness in the North American residential markets and aggressive inventory reductions in pool equipment distribution. Internationally, Water sales increased at a double-digit rate.

  • Global Flow Technologies sales were down 3 percent versus the year-ago quarter, as unfavorable comparisons associated with the $21 million municipal pump project for New Orleans in the second quarter 2007 were not overcome. Sales of pump equipment for global commercial, municipal and agricultural markets continue to outpace declines in North American residential markets.
  • Global Filtration sales grew 8 percent or 5 percent excluding the 2007 acquisition of Porous Media. Steady gains in industrial filtration, food service and desalination markets offset declines in the North American residential market.
  • Global Pool and Spa sales were down 22 percent. The prolonged decline in North American residential pool and spa markets, coupled with distributor inventory reductions, impacted sales.
  • International Water sales grew 15 percent in Europe, Middle East and Africa led by growth in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Asia-Pacific sales grew 20 percent driven by strong double-digit growth in China and India.

The Water Group's second quarter reported operating income totaled $58 million, down 65 percent as compared to $89 million in the same period last year. In the quarter, the company settled the Horizon litigation lawsuit, which resulted in a $20 million charge to operating income. The company also had $2 million in pre-tax restructuring charges associated with severance from headcount reductions and costs related to facility rationalizations. Adjusting for these items, adjusted operating income was $81 million, down 10 percent versus the $89 million a year-ago. Adjusted operating margins of 13.3 percent were down 60 basis points as benefits from productivity, price and product mix could not offset the negative impact from inflation and decreased volumes.

Technical Products delivered second quarter 2008 sales of $304 million, an increase of 18 percent versus the year-earlier period. Sales were up 14 percent excluding foreign exchange.

  • Global Electrical sales were up 14 percent, led by strong double-digit increases in its Thermal applications product line and continued strength in energy and natural resource related markets (e.g., Oil, Gas and Mining).
  • Global Electronic sales were up 24 percent. In Asia, electronic sales were up over 44 percent while sales in Europe were up 12 percent in local currencies. North American sales were up 12 percent.

Technical Products' second quarter operating income totaled $50 million, up 38 percent compared to $36 million in the same quarter last year. Reported operating margins were 16.3 percent. Adjusting for a modest restructuring charge, operating margins were 16.4 percent, up 230 basis points versus the second quarter 2007. In the quarter, the benefits from volume, productivity and price more than offset the negative impact from total inflation.

"We continue to perform well in our respective markets. In the second quarter, our Technical Products business maintained outstanding market and financial momentum. In our Water businesses, we continue to drive solid growth in our industrial, commercial and municipal Water markets globally to help compensate for severe declines in the North American residential market," Hogan said.

"We believe our restructuring and other market-related actions better position the company for sustainable, positive performance as demonstrated by what we accomplished in the quarter and have announced this week. For example, the formation of the residential water filtration business with GE combines our leading technologies and distribution channels. We expect this combination will create a stronger business, enabling us to more effectively serve our customers. Additionally, the settlement of the Horizon legal case removes a long-standing uncertainty," Hogan added.

MAJOR ACTIONS UNDERWAY

In July 2008, the company announced several significant actions that will affect reported and adjusted earnings guidance for the second half of 2008.

First, the company recently announced actions to rationalize three international and three United States Water segment factories. The production at these sites will shift to Mexico, China, and other United States facilities. Additionally, the company plans to embark on an operational restructuring plan associated with its Spa/Bath business. The company continues to evaluate other restructuring actions to improve overall cost structure. In aggregate, these major restructuring actions are expected to result in a charge of over 50 cents per share in the second half of 2008. The annualized savings associated with these actions is expected to be approximately 40 cents per share when fully realized.

Next, the company recently issued a tender offer to bondholders of the company's 7.85 percent bonds due in October 2009. The company expects the outcome of the tender will result in a pre-tax charge of $3 to $5 million assuming a participation of 50 percent of the bondholders. The resulting quarterly benefit is expected to be a penny per share of reduced interest expense.

OUTLOOK

The company introduced its third quarter reported 2008 EPS guidance range of $0.31 to $0.33. Adjusting for charges associated with restructuring and the bond tender offer, third quarter EPS is expected to be $0.51 to $0.53, a decrease of 2 to 6 percent versus the third quarter 2007. This third quarter range includes $0.06 of expenses associated mainly with integration, inventory step-up and intangibles amortization charges related to the GE transaction.

The company updates its full year 2008 reported EPS guidance range to $2.44 to $2.49, up 15 to 17 percent versus reported full year 2007 EPS. Adjusting for non-recurring items associated with the GE transaction gain, Horizon settlement, restructuring actions and the bond tender, full year EPS is expected to be $2.28 to $2.33, up 9 to 11 percent versus adjusted full year 2007 EPS. The full year adjusted EPS guidance includes approximately $0.07 per share of expenses mainly associated with integration and step-up charges related to the residential filtration transaction.

"We expect our positive performance to continue in our non-residential and international Water and global Technical Products' businesses. We are launching a number of actions to improve our cost structure and better position the company to control our own destiny. These actions introduce a new full year EPS guidance range of $2.28 to $2.33, which includes 7 cents of incremental expenses to restructure our Water businesses. Absent these incremental expenses, our business outlook would be higher than previous guidance," Hogan said.

Stauch will discuss the Company's performance and third quarter and full year 2008 guidance on a two-way conference call with investors at 12:00 p.m. Eastern today.
