CIR CIRCOR International Inc

CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of valves and other highly engineered products for the energy, aerospace and industrial markets, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

“We are pleased with our excellent performance in the third quarter driven by margin improvement and the continued execution of our growth strategy,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Higgins. “Our Energy segment continues to improve execution operationally and in international projects where we continue to grow and where we achieved favorable closure on several completed projects. In addition, Flow Technologies continued to deliver strong operating margins.”

“During the quarter we continued to focus on our growth strategy in the oil & gas, power generation and aerospace markets,” continued Higgins. “We have been attracting top talent across the organization, improving operations with Lean and operational excellence, and enhancing our competitive position by building our global supply chain and manufacturing footprint around the world to service global customers.”

CIRCOR also announced that it is taking several repositioning actions over the next three quarters to enhance profitability, including consolidating facilities, shifting supply to lower cost regions and exiting certain non-strategic product lines. CIRCOR’s third-quarter results include charges associated with these repositioning actions, and the Company expects further charges in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first half of 2013. The Company anticipates annualized pre-tax savings from these actions to be approximately $7 million with a favorable margin impact in the range of 100 basis points, to be fully realized in the second half of 2013.

“As a result of our Lean and operational excellence initiatives, the efficiencies we have gained in our operations has and will enable us to consolidate facilities and drive margin expansion,” said Higgins. “We believe CIRCOR is well positioned to continue to grow revenue, expand margins and deliver enhanced shareholder value.”

Consolidated Results

Revenues of $209.8 million for the third quarter of 2012 were flat compared with the previous year. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, which includes special and impairment charges of $1.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, as well as repositioning related inventory charges of $4.1 million, compared with net income of $10.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011, which included a benefit of $0.2 million in Leslie asbestos and bankruptcy charges. Excluding the charges from both periods, adjusted earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 increased 22% to $0.76 from $0.62 in the year-earlier quarter.

Excluding the charges in both periods, adjusted operating income was $18.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared with $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 18%.

The Company received orders totaling $225.5 million during the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 1% compared with the third quarter of 2011. Backlog as of September 30, 2012 was $444.3 million, up 1% from backlog of $440.2 million at October 2, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company generated $18.7 million of free cash flow (defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures). This compares with $5.2 million of free cash flow used in the third quarter of 2011.

Energy

Energy segment revenues increased 6% to $110.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $103.3 million for the third quarter of 2011 across most markets. The segment reported increases in the short-cycle North American and large international project businesses, partially offset by lower pipeline shipments as well as unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $5.1 million.

Incoming orders for the third quarter of 2012 were $118.1 million, an increase of 26% year-over-year primarily due to higher international project and North American short-cycle orders. Ending backlog totaled $210.4 million, an increase of 4% year-over-year. The increase in backlog was primarily due to higher order levels within our large international project business, partially offset by ongoing shipments of a large pipeline project booked in 2010.

For the third quarter of 2012, the Energy segment adjusted operating margin increased to 14.0% from 7.2% in the third quarter of 2011, primarily driven by favorable penalty reserve adjustments as CIRCOR closed several large international projects, improved pricing and increased volume with the associated leverage. Segment adjusted operating margin for the quarter excludes special and impairment charges of $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and repositioning related inventory charges of $0.9 million. The repositioning charges are related to the exiting of certain underperforming manufacturing operations and non-strategic product lines at the Company’s Brazil operations.

Aerospace

Aerospace segment revenues decreased by 3% to $31.8 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $32.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $1.0 million.

Incoming orders for the third quarter of 2012 were $42.9 million, a decrease of 32% year-over-year primarily due to lower landing gear orders in both commercial and military. Ending backlog totaled $162.7 million, an increase of 1% year-over-year.

The Aerospace segment’s adjusted operating margin for the third quarter of 2012 decreased to 4.2% from 5.6% in the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to the timing of operating expenses as well as investments in future programs. Segment adjusted operating margin excludes special and impairment charges of $0.2 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and repositioning related inventory charges of $3.2 million. The charges in the third quarter of 2012 are related to exiting certain low margin product lines, as well as the repositioning of certain landing gear operations and manufacturing activities within California.

Flow Technologies

Flow Technologies segment revenues decreased 8% to $68.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $74.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. Third-quarter 2012 Flow Technologies segment revenues reflected an organic decline of $4.4 million and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $1.5 million. The organic revenue decline was primarily due to lower LED equipment shipments, partially offset by organic growth across most other businesses.

Incoming orders for the Flow Technologies segment were $64.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 9% year-over-year, primarily due to weakness in the LED equipment market. Ending backlog totaled $71.2 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year driven by the shipment of Navy backlog and lower LED equipment orders.

The segment’s adjusted operating margin for the third quarter of 2012 decreased to 13.1% from 13.6% in the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to lower volume and associated leverage and growth investments partially offset by favorable mix and reduced spending.

Financial Outlook

As part of its repositioning actions, CIRCOR expects to incur pretax charges in the range of $3.0 million to $3.5 million, or $0.16 to $0.19 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2012.

CIRCOR currently expects revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 in the range of $203 million to $212 million. Excluding repositioning charges, adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.62 per diluted share. CIRCOR’s guidance for adjusted earnings per share assumes a 30% tax rate on adjusted earnings. It also assumes that exchange rates remain at present levels.
