KENOSHA, Wis. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Jul. 18, 2019 - 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 second quarter of 2019.
See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a definition of, and further explanation about, organic sales and measures, as adjusted, excluding the tax benefit.
“We are encouraged by our second quarter 2019 results. While sales were mixed in the period, we did experience clear sales gains to customers across our U.S. operations and delivered overall organic growth, overcoming the variation and the turbulence,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “The quarter did see continuing headwinds related to particularly challenged geographies and to unfavorable currency, but the effectiveness of our Snap-on Value Creation Processes drove strength in our operating earnings margins and yet another year-over-year increase in earnings per diluted share. Despite the challenges of this period, we believe the overall macro-economic environment for the vehicle repair and the critical industries markets we serve generally remain robust and provide continuing opportunities to make work easier for serious professionals. Finally, our results are only possible with the ongoing capability and contributions from our franchisees and associates, and I thank them for their dedication and commitment.”
Segment Results
Commercial & Industrial Group segment sales of $335.0 million in the quarter decreased $2.8 million, or 0.8%, from 2018 levels, reflecting a $6.2 million, or 1.9%, organic sales gain and $1.1 million of acquisition-related sales, more than offset by $10.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales increase includes higher sales in the segment’s specialty tools and European hand tools businesses, as well as increases with customers in critical industries.
Operating earnings of $48.9 million in the period, including $0.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, compared to $49.0 million in 2018, while the operating margin (operating earnings as a percentage of segment sales) of 14.6% compared to 14.5% a year ago.
Snap-on Tools Group segment sales of $405.8 million in the quarter decreased $6.1 million, or 1.5%, from 2018 levels, reflecting a $1.0 million, or 0.2%, organic sales decline and $5.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales decrease includes lower sales in the segment’s international operations, partially offset by higher sales in the U.S. franchise operations.
Operating earnings of $71.3 million in the period, including $3.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, decreased $7.7 million from 2018 levels, and the operating margin of 17.6% compared to 19.2% last year.
Repair Systems & Information Group segment sales of $348.9 million in the quarter increased $5.8 million, or 1.7%, from 2018 levels, reflecting an $11.7 million, or 3.5%, organic sales gain, partially offset by $5.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales increase primarily reflects higher sales to OEM dealerships.
Operating earnings of $88.6 million in the period, including $1.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, compared to $88.7 million in 2018, while the operating margin of 25.4% compared to 25.9% a year ago.
Financial Services operating earnings of $60.6 million on revenue of $84.1 million in the quarter compared to operating earnings of $57.8 million on revenue of $82.0 million a year ago. Originations of $263.4 million in the second quarter decreased $12.7 million, or 4.6%, from 2018 levels.
Corporate expenses of $18.9 million in the quarter compared to $23.6 million last year.
Outlook
Snap-on expects to make continued progress in 2019 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 in adjacent markets, additional geographies and other areas, including extending in critical industries, where the cost and penalties for failure can be high. In pursuit of these initiatives, Snap-on expects that capital expenditures in 2019 will be in a range of $90 million to $100 million, of which $48.2 million was incurred in the first six months of the year.
Snap-on currently anticipates that its full year 2019 effective income tax rate will be comparable to its full year 2018 effective tax rate of 24.0%.

Non-GAAP Measures
References in this document to “organic sales” refer to sales from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), adjusted to exclude acquisition-related sales and the impact of foreign currency translation. Management evaluates the company’s sales performance based on organic sales growth, which primarily reflects growth from the company’s existing businesses as a result of increased output, customer base and geographic expansion, new product development and/or pricing, and excludes sales contributions from acquired operations the company did not own as of the comparable prior-year reporting period. The company’s organic sales disclosures also exclude the effects of foreign currency translation as foreign currency translation is subject to volatility that can obscure underlying business trends. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of organic sales is meaningful to investors as it provides them with useful information to aid in identifying underlying growth trends in our businesses and facilitates comparisons of our sales performance with prior periods.
For the six months ended June 29, 2019, the company is including operating earnings before financial services, consolidated operating earnings, net earnings, diluted earnings per share and its effective tax rate, all as adjusted to exclude the impact of an $11.6 million benefit ($8.7 million after tax) from a legal settlement that occurred in the three months ended March 30, 2019.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the company is including net earnings, diluted earnings per share and its effective tax rate, all as adjusted, to exclude the impact of a $0.5 million benefit and $2.1 million charge, respectively, related to the implementation of U.S. tax legislation. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the company is including net earnings and diluted earnings per share, both as adjusted to exclude a net gain of $5.5 million ($4.1 million after tax) associated with a treasury lock settlement gain of $13.3 million related to the issuance of debt, partially offset by a $7.8 million expense related to the early extinguishment of debt.
Management believes that these are unusual events and therefore the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude them provide more meaningful year-over-year comparisons of the company’s 2019 operating performance. For a reconciliation of the adjusted metrics, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
