- Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.33, up 39%, and adjusted
EPS of $1.38, up 34%.

growth.
- Core order growth up 6% and core backlog growth up 10%, driven
primarily by ongoing strength at Aerospace & Electronics.
- Declaring fourth quarter 2024 regular dividend of $0.205 per
share.
Full Year Outlook
- Raising and narrowing our full year adjusted EPS outlook to a
range of $5.05-$5.20, up from $4.95-$5.15.
Crane Company ("Crane," NYSE: CR) today announced its financial
results for the third quarter of 2024 and raised and narrowed its
adjusted full-year EPS outlook.
Max Mitchell, Crane's Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, stated: "We delivered another quarter of excellent
results, with 34% adjusted EPS growth driven by 6% core sales
growth, reflecting continued strong execution by our teams
globally. Furthermore, demand trends across our strategic growth
platforms were also encouraging in the quarter, with 6%
year-over-year core order growth and 10% year-over-year core
backlog growth, giving us confidence as we close out the year and
increasingly look toward 2025. Taken together, we are raising our
2024 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $5.05-$5.20, up from our
prior view of $4.95-$5.15.”
Mr. Mitchell concluded: “While our updated full year guidance
represents yet another record year for Crane, our outperformance is
tempered by the impact of Hurricane Helene on one of our Process
Flow Technologies facilities in Marion, North Carolina, and
accordingly, our underlying performance is even stronger. I am
incredibly proud of our team's efforts on executing on recovery
actions which we expect to be completed in the fourth quarter.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Third quarter 2024 GAAP EPS of $1.33 compared to $0.96 in the
third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EPS of $1.38
compared to $1.03 in the third quarter of 2023.
Third quarter sales increased 13%, with 6% core sales growth, a
6% contribution from acquisitions, and a slight contribution from
favorable foreign exchange. Operating profit of $105 million
increased 38% compared to last year, and adjusted operating profit
of $109 million increased 35% compared to last year, in both cases
primarily reflecting the impact from net price and
productivity.

Cash Flow, Financing Activities and Other Financial
Metrics
During the third quarter of 2024, cash provided by operating
activities was $82 million, capital expenditures were $9 million,
and free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less
capital spending) was $73 million. Adjusted free cash flow (free
cash flow excluding transaction related cash outflows) was $75
million. (Please see the attached non-GAAP Financial Measures
tables.)
As of September 30, 2024, the Company's cash balance was $258
million with total debt of $332 million.
Rich Maue, Crane's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, added: "For the full year, we now expect free cash flow to
fall at the lower end of our estimated $255-$275 million range,
primarily due to working capital headwinds commercial aerospace
suppliers are facing, now coupled with the timing of
hurricane-related insurance recoveries.
However, these items are transitory, and our strong balance
sheet gives us the flexibility to continue investing strategically,
while providing the opportunity for further capital deployment. As
always, we will deploy our capital with the same strict financial
and strategic discipline that we have always employed. We see
numerous opportunities for value-creating acquisitions to further
accelerate our growth, and with the ability to generate enhanced
returns given our lengthy track record of successful acquisition
integration and synergy generation."

reflecting the impact of higher price net of inflation,
productivity, and higher volumes partially offset by unfavorable
mix. Adjusted operating profit margin of 23.5% increased 410 basis
points from last year. Aerospace & Electronics' order backlog
was $833 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to $701 million

Updating 2024 Guidance
We are raising and narrowing our full-year adjusted EPS outlook
to a range of $5.05 to $5.20, up from our prior view of $4.95 to
$5.15.
Key assumptions for our revised guidance include:
- Total sales growth of approximately 11% (unchanged), driven by
core sales growth of approximately 5% to 7% (unchanged, but now
expected to be at the higher end of the range) and an acquisition
benefit of approximately 5% (unchanged).
- Adjusted segment operating margin of ~20.8% (up from
20.7%).
- Corporate cost of $80 million (unchanged).
- Net non-operating expense of $20 million (unchanged).
- Adjusted tax rate of 22.5% (prior 23.0%).
- Diluted shares of ~58 million (unchanged).
- Includes the negative impact from the production downtime
resulting from Hurricane Helene.
Additional details of our outlook and guidance are included in
the presentation that accompanies this earnings release available
on our website at www.craneco.com in the "investors" section.
Declaring Fourth Quarter Dividend
Crane announced its regular quarterly dividend of $0.205 per
share for the fourth quarter of 2024. The dividend is payable on
December 11, 2024 to shareholders of record as of November 29,
2024.
Additional Information
References to changes in “core sales” or "core growth" in this
report include the change in sales excluding the impact of foreign
currency translation and acquisitions and divestitures from closing
up to the first anniversary of such acquisitions or
divestitures.
Crane operated as part of Crane Holdings, Co. for the entire
first quarter of 2023 prior to completion of the separation
transaction on April 3, 2023. First quarter 2023 results, as
initially reported in May 2023, were derived from Crane Holdings,
Co.'s accounting records and were presented on a carve-out basis.
All of Crane's subsequent financial disclosures for pre-separation
periods show the financial results of Crane Holdings, Co. (now
renamed Crane NXT, Co.) with the Payment & Merchandising
Technologies segment presented as discontinued operations.
As a result of the change in accounting presentation required by
GAAP, first quarter 2023 GAAP EPS was reported as $1.08 when
initially reported on a carve-out basis, and in subsequent reports,
reported as $0.98 with the Payment & Merchandising Technologies
segment presented as discontinued operations. First quarter 2023
Adjusted EPS on a carve-out basis was reported as $1.25, and $1.26
with the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment presented
as discontinued operations. Segment operating profit was the same
under both accounting methodologies.

Crane Company reports its financial results in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press
release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including
adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin,
adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow
and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, that are not prepared in accordance
with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a
substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to operating income, net income or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe
that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a
forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental
information to investors about Crane Company. Our management uses
certain forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate projected
financial and operating results. However, there are a number of
limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their
nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may
calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures
to calculate their financial performance, and therefore our
non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies.
Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected
non-GAAP measures for Crane Company, including Adjusted EPS, and
Adjusted segment margin to the closest corresponding GAAP measure
are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high
variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the
charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a
potentially significant impact on our future GAAP results. For
Crane Company, these forward looking and projected non-GAAP
measures are calculated as follows:
- "Adjusted operating margin" is calculated as adjusted operating
profit divided by sales. Adjusted operating profit is calculated as
operating profit before Special Items which include transaction
related expenses such as professional fees, and incremental costs
related to the separation; and repositioning related charges. We
believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items
provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in
predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary
to GAAP metrics.
- "Adjusted EPS" is calculated as adjusted net income divided by
diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income
adjusted for Special Items which include transaction related
expenses such as professional fees, and incremental costs related
to the separation; repositioning related charges; and, the impact
of pension non-service costs. We believe that non-GAAP financial
measures adjusted for these items provide investors with an
alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings
and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
We believe that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides
useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial
conditions and operations:
- "Adjusted Operating Profit" and "Adjusted Operating Margin" add
back to Operating Profit items which are outside of our core
performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and
which we believe may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s
underlying earnings and operational performance. These items
include income and expense such as: transaction related expenses
and repositioning related (gains) charges. These items are not
incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to
predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations
of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude these items provide investors with an
alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings
and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
- "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude items which
are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not
be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the
presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational
performance. These measures include income and expense items that
impacted Operating Profit such as: transaction related expenses and
repositioning related (gains) charges. Additionally, these non-GAAP
financial measures exclude income and expense items that impacted
Net Income and Earnings per Diluted Share such as the impact of
pension non-service costs. These items are not incurred in all
periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none
of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying
businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric
that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability
that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
- "Adjusted EBITDA" adds back to net income: net interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization,
miscellaneous (income) expense, net, and Special Items including
transaction related expenses. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is
calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors with
an alternative metric that may be a meaningful indicator of our
performance and provides useful information to investors regarding
our financial conditions and results of operations that is
complementary to GAAP metrics.
- “Free Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” provide
supplemental information to assist management and investors in
analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its
operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take
into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash
requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on
the Company’s long-term debt. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash
provided by operating activities less capital spending. Adjusted
Free Cash Flow is calculated as Free Cash Flow adjusted for certain
cash items which we believe may complicate the interpretation of
the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain
transaction related cash flow items related to the separation
transaction. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size
of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are
indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We
believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items
provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in
predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP
metrics.
