BRISTOL, Conn., April 25, 2016 - Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), an international industrial and aerospace manufacturer and service provider, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2016.
Net sales of $288 million were down 4% from $301 million in the prior year period. Foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by 1%, while the Thermoplay and Priamus acquisitions collectively contributed $12.1 million. Organic sales (1) decreased 7%. Net Income for the first quarter was $28.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $29.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $0.54 per diluted share, up 2% from $0.53 a year ago. Adjusted diluted net income in the first quarter of 2016 excludes costs related to a contract termination dispute of $0.01 per share, while last year’s first quarter excludes the impact of Männer short-term purchase accounting adjustments of $0.01 per share.
A table reconciling 2016 and 2015 non-GAAP adjusted results presented in this release to the Company’s GAAP results is included at the end of this press release.
“Barnes Group achieved first quarter financial performance that was in-line with our expectations. The Industrial segment delivered sequential sales improvement over the last quarter, while each of its SBUs delivered sequential orders improvement,” said Patrick J. Dempsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barnes Group Inc. “At the Aerospace segment, we continue to experience a transitional year as we move from legacy engine programs to new programs, the latter of which is producing good order intake and an increase in backlog. Overall, we continue to believe that, 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,” added Dempsey.
Industrial
| |
| • | First quarter 2016 sales were $195.2 million, down 3% from $200.3 million in the same period last year. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced sales by approximately $2.9 million, or 1%. Organic sales decreased by 7% in the quarter, primarily driven by lingering soft transportation and tool & die end-markets in Asia and industrial end-markets in North America, though partially offset by continued strength in personal care end-markets of our Molding Solutions business. For the quarter, the recently acquired Thermoplay and Priamus businesses together contributed $12.1 million in sales. |
| |
| • | Operating profit in the first quarter was $29.6 million, compared to $31.0 million in the prior year period. The decline in operating profit was driven by the reduced sales volumes, offset in part by favorable productivity. Excluding Männer short-term purchase accounting adjustments last year, operating profit was down 7% from an adjusted $31.8 million a year ago. Operating margin was 15.2%, down 70 bps from an adjusted 15.9% last year. |
Aerospace
| |
| • | First quarter 2016 sales were $93.1 million, down 7% from $100.2 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 $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year period. The operating profit decrease was primarily due to lower profit on reduced sales volumes in the OEM business, unfavorable productivity, and $0.8 million in costs related to a contract termination dispute. Excluding the contract termination costs, adjusted operating profit was $12.7 million, down 2% from a year ago. Adjusted operating margin was 13.6%, up 70 bps from last year. |
| |
| • | Aerospace backlog was $592 million at the end of the first quarter of 2016, up 9% year-over-year and up 4% sequentially from year-end 2015. |
Additional Information
| |
| • | Interest expense increased $0.3 million to $3.0 million in the quarter primarily as a result of a higher average interest rate versus a year ago. |
| |
| • | The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 24.7% compared with 29.2% in the first quarter of 2015 and 23.2% for the full year 2015. The increase in the first quarter of 2016 effective tax rate from the full year 2015 rate is primarily due to the expiration of certain tax holidays, the absence of the 2015 tax refund of withholding taxes and the projected change in the mix of earnings attributable to higher-taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the decrease in planned repatriation of a portion of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. |
Updated 2016 Outlook
Barnes Group continues to expect 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. Adjusted operating margin is now forecasted to be in the range of 16% to 16.5%, narrowed slightly from the Company’s prior outlook of 16% to 17%. Barnes Group continues to expect adjusted earnings in the range of $2.43 to $2.58 per diluted share, up 2% to 8% from $2.38 in 2015. Further, the Company continues to anticipate 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 26% to 27%, modified slightly from the Company’s prior outlook of 27% to 29%.
OEM Sales per Aircraft Update
The Company has completed a review of the OEM sales per aircraft of its major programs. The review was undertaken after it was determined that the LEAP powered A320neo sales per aircraft the Company had previously provided warranted a change. While the previous estimate of $400,000 sales per aircraft is accurate for 2016, a range of $200,000 to $250,000 is appropriate for subsequent years based on current information. A slide providing updated information will be available in the Earnings Supplement to be posted on Barnes Group’s Investor Relations website on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, prior to the start of the call.
Updated Conference Call Information
Barnes Group Inc. will conduct a conference call with investors to discuss the Company’s performance in the first quarter and the outlook for the business in the full year 2016, including a discussion of its updated OEM sales per aircraft at 8:30 a.m. ET tomorrow, April 26, 2016. The public may access the conference through a live audio webcast available on the Investor Relations section of Barnes Group’s website at www.BGInc.com. The conference is also available by direct dial at (877) 201-0168 in the U.S. or (647) 788-4901 outside of the U.S.; Conference ID 98676549. Supplemental materials will be posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website prior to the conference call.
In addition, the call will be recorded and available for playback from 12:00 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 until 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday, May 3, 2016, by dialing (404) 537-3406; Conference ID 98676549.
The Company’s previously announced conference call and webcast for Friday, April 29, 2016 has been canceled.
Note:
(1) Organic sales growth represents the total reported sales increase within the Company’s ongoing businesses less the impact of foreign currency translation and acquisition and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months.

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.

Management believes that these adjustments provide the Company and its investors with an indication of our baseline performance excluding items that are not considered to be reflective of our ongoing results. Management does not intend results excluding the adjustments to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative measurement calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's performance. Accordingly, the measurements have limitations depending on their use.
