Crane Holdings, Co. (NYSE:CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported third quarter 2022 financial results and reaffirmed the midpoint of its full-year 2022 adjusted EPS guidance.

Max Mitchell, Crane Holdings, Co. President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "We delivered another quarter of very strong results with clear evidence of our execution in adjusted operating margins of 17.6%. We also saw continued momentum across industrial end markets, with core order growth up 10% and core backlog growth of 26%. End market demand remains robust, but our core sales growth of 2% reflects the supply chain constraints that continue to impact everyone in our key markets. However, we are successfully navigating this environment, and are confident in our ability to achieve our narrowed full year adjusted earnings guidance range, while our strong backlog positions us for accelerating growth as supply chain conditions improve over the next several quarters."

Mr. Mitchell concluded: "In addition to consistently delivering strong operating results, we continue to make progress positioning our businesses and portfolio for accelerating growth. We have incredible momentum across all of our businesses with significant investments in technology and strategic growth initiatives to drive outperformance compared to our peers, and we are actively pursuing inorganic growth as well, with activity on a number of potential acquisitions. Further, progress towards our planned early April 2023 separation is progressing smoothly, and we continue to believe that the separation will permit each post-separation company to optimize its investments and capital allocation policies to further accelerate growth and unlock shareholder value."

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Third quarter 2022 GAAP net loss per share of $1.06 included an after-tax loss of $162 million, or $2.89 per share, on the August divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities and other Special Items, net, of $0.03, and compared to EPS of $1.96 in the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 adjusted EPS was $1.86, compared to $1.98 in the third quarter of 2021, with the decline driven by a $0.19 impact from the reversion to a more normal tax rate compared to the 15.3% tax rate in the third quarter of last year, and the expected $0.16 year-over-year impact from the May 2022 divestiture of Crane Supply. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables for a detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.)

Third quarter 2022 sales were $815 million, a decrease of $79 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. Core sales growth of $17 million, or 2%, was more than offset by a $60 million, or 7%, divestiture impact, and a $36 million, or 4%, impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.

Core year-over-year order growth of 10% in the third quarter was more than offset by a 6% divestiture impact and a 5% impact from unfavorable foreign exchange. Total year-over-year backlog growth of 18% was driven by 26% core backlog growth, partially offset by a 6% impact from unfavorable foreign exchange and a 2% divestiture impact.

Third quarter 2022 GAAP operating loss of $31 million compared to operating profit of $145 million in the third quarter of 2021. GAAP operating profit margin was negative 3.8%, compared to 16.2% last year, with the decline driven primarily by the loss on the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities; higher transaction costs, inflation, and lower volumes were approximately offset by pricing actions and productivity. Third quarter 2022 adjusted operating profit was $144 million, compared to $146 million last year. Adjusted operating profit margin was 17.6%, compared to 16.4% last year, driven by pricing actions and productivity that more than offset the impact of inflation and lower volumes. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables for a detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.)

Crane Holdings, Co. 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 margin, adjusted EPS, 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 Holdings, Co. 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.

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: the loss on divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities, 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: the loss on divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities, 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: interest expense on the 364 Day Credit Agreement related to the asbestos transaction, tax benefit related to the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities, the impact of pension curtailments and settlements, gain on the sale of business, deferred tax adjustment related to sale of business, and gain on the sale of property. 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.

"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 2022 portfolio actions and the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities. 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.
