Diluted EPS of $2.16 increases 15.5%;
Operating earnings before financial services of 18.6% of sales up 190 basis points;
Organic sales increase 2.5%

KENOSHA, Wis. - April 21, 2016 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE: SNA), a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of tools, equipment, diagnostics, repair information and systems solutions for professional users performing critical tasks, today announced operating results for the first quarter of 2016.

• Sales of $834.2 million increased $6.4 million, or 0.8%, from 2015 levels; excluding $16.4 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation and $2.6 million of acquisition-related sales, organic sales increased $20.2 million or 2.5%.
• Operating earnings before financial services of $155.4 million increased 190 basis points to 18.6% of sales as compared to $137.9 million, or 16.7% of sales, last year.
• Financial services operating earnings of $47.0 million increased $6.7 million, or 16.6%, from 2015 levels; financial services revenue of $66.3 million increased 15.5% from 2015 levels.
• Consolidated operating earnings of $202.4 million improved to 22.5% of revenues (net sales plus financial services revenue) as compared to $178.2 million, or 20.1% of revenues, last year.
• The first quarter effective income tax rate was 31.0% in 2016 and 32.0% in 2015.
• Net earnings of $128.3 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $110.5 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, a year ago.

“Our first quarter results, including a 15.5% increase in diluted earnings per share, represent an encouraging start to 2016,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe these results demonstrate not only the fundamental strength of Snap-on’s value proposition of making work easier for serious professionals, but also the continued progress along our defined runways for coherent growth while overcoming the headwinds of the current environment. At the same time, our operating margin improvement further confirms the ongoing potential of our Snap-on Value Creation Processes, which we employ every day around safety, quality, customer connection, innovation and rapid continuous improvement. Finally, these results would not have been possible without the dedication and capability of our franchisees and associates worldwide; I thank them for their continuing commitment and extraordinary contributions.”

Segment Results

Commercial & Industrial Group segment sales of $287.0 million in the quarter decreased $10.5 million, or 3.5%, from 2015 levels. Excluding $6.7 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation, organic sales declined $3.8 million, or 1.3%, as lower sales to customers in critical industries were partially offset by gains in the segment’s Asia/Pacific and power tools operations, and higher sales from the segment’s European-based hand tools business.

Operating earnings of $41.1 million in the period, including $2.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, decreased $2.9 million from 2015 levels, and the operating margin (operating earnings as a percentage of segment sales) of 14.3% declined 50 basis points from 14.8% a year ago.

Snap-on Tools Group segment sales of $402.5 million in the quarter rose $24.3 million, or 6.4%, from 2015 levels, reflecting sales increases in both the company’s U.S. and international franchise operations. Excluding $6.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation, organic sales were up 8.1%.

Operating earnings of $66.7 million in the period, including $4.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, increased $6.9 million from 2015 levels, and the operating margin of 16.6% improved 80 basis points from 15.8% a year ago.

Repair Systems & Information Group segment sales of $278.8 million in the quarter rose $6.5 million, or 2.4%, from 2015 levels. Excluding $4.5 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation and $2.6 million of acquisition-related sales, organic sales increased $8.4 million, or 3.1%, primarily due to higher sales of diagnostic and repair information products to independent repair shop owners and managers, increased sales of undercar equipment and higher sales to OEM dealerships.

Operating earnings of $69.0 million in the period, including $1.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, increased $5.1 million from 2015 levels, and the operating margin of 24.7% improved 120 basis points from 23.5% a year ago.

Financial Services operating earnings of $47.0 million on revenue of $66.3 million in the quarter compared to operating earnings of $40.3 million on revenue of $57.4 million a year ago.

Corporate expenses of $21.4 million in the quarter compared to $29.8 million last year. The year-over-year decrease in corporate expenses primarily reflects lower stock-based (mark-to-market) compensation and pension expense.

Outlook

Snap-on expects to make continued progress in 2016 along its defined runways for coherent growth, leveraging capabilities already demonstrated in the automotive repair arena and developing and expanding its professional customer base, not only in automotive repair, but also in adjacent markets, additional geographies and other areas, including in critical industries, where the cost and penalties for failure can be high. In pursuit of these initiatives, Snap-on continues to expect that capital expenditures in 2016 will be in a range of $80 million to $90 million. Snap-on also continues to anticipate that its full year 2016 effective income tax rate will be comparable to its 2015 full year rate.
