Snap-on Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

  • Fourth Quarter reported net sales up 9.5%; organic net sales up 4.3%
  • Fourth Quarter reported diluted EPS of $2.24;
  • Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS of $2.69 excludes $0.33 legal charge and $0.12 charge related to implementation of tax legislation

KENOSHA, Wis. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Feb. 8, 2018 - 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 2017 operating results for the fourth quarter and full year.

  • Net sales of $974.6 million in the quarter increased $84.8 million, or 9.5%, from 2016 levels, reflecting a $38.9 million, or 4.3%, organic sales gain, $29.7 million of acquisition-related sales and $16.2 million of favorable foreign currency translation.
  • Operating earnings before financial services in the quarter of $157.7 million, or 16.2% of sales, included a pre-tax charge related to a judgment (a “legal charge”) of $30.9 million in a patent-related litigation matter that is being appealed, and compared to $176.1 million, or 19.8% of sales, last year. Excluding that legal charge, operating earnings before financial services, as adjusted, in the fourth quarter of 2017 were $188.6 million, or 19.4% of sales.
  • Financial services revenue in the quarter of $79.9 million increased $5.7 million from 2016 levels; financial services operating earnings of $54.4 million increased $2.8 million from $51.6 million last year.
  • Consolidated operating earnings in the quarter of $212.1 million, or 20.1% of revenues (net sales plus financial services revenue), compared to $227.7 million, or 23.6% of revenues, last year. Excluding the above legal charge, consolidated operating earnings, as adjusted, in the fourth quarter of 2017 were $243.0 million, or 23.0% of revenues.
  • The fourth quarter effective income tax rate of 33.0% in 2017 was reduced by 120 basis points as a result of the above legal charge and increased by 360 basis points as a result of a $7.0 million charge related to the implementation of new tax legislation in the U.S. (“tax charge”). The tax charge includes an estimated transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings, partially offset by an estimated tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Excluding the above legal charge and tax charge, the effective tax rate, as adjusted, was 30.6%. The fourth quarter effective income tax rate was 30.8% in 2016.
  • Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2017 were $129.5 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $146.3 million, or $2.47 per diluted share a year ago. Excluding the above legal charge and tax charge, net earnings, as adjusted, were $155.6 million in 2017, or $2.69 per diluted share.
  • Full year net sales of $3,686.9 million increased $256.5 million, or 7.5%, from 2016 levels, reflecting a $115.0 million, or 3.4%, organic sales gain and $141.5 million of acquisition-related sales. Full year net earnings of $557.7 million, or $9.52 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $546.4 million, or $9.20 per diluted share, last year. Excluding the third and fourth quarter legal charges and the tax charge, net earnings, as adjusted, were $593.1 million in 2017, or $10.12 per diluted share.

See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a definition of, and further explanation about, organic sales and measures, as adjusted, excluding the legal and tax charges.

“We’re encouraged by our fourth quarter and full year 2017 results,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “Our fourth quarter net sales growth of 9.5%, or 4.3% organically, was the highest of any quarter in 2017, with further progress along our runways for growth in both the Commercial & Industrial Group and the Repair Systems & Information Group more than offsetting continuing sales headwinds in the Snap-on Tools Group. For the full year 2017, our commitment to operating improvement through our Snap-on Value Creation Processes enabled us to overcome headwinds, including the legal and tax charges, and deliver a year-over-year increase in reported diluted earnings per share of 3.5%. On an adjusted basis, excluding the tax and legal charges, diluted earnings per share was up 10.0% for the year. We believe Snap-on’s value proposition of making work easier for serious professionals performing critical tasks remains strong in the end markets we serve and as we enter 2018, we intend to strengthen further our position by enhancing the franchise network, expanding in the vehicle repair garage, extending to critical industries and building in emerging markets. Finally, our progress in 2017 would not have been possible without the capability and commitment of our franchisees and associates, and I thank them for their dedication and their contributions.”

Segment Results

Commercial & Industrial Group segment sales of $341.7 million in the quarter increased $55.4 million, or 19.4%, from 2016 levels, reflecting a $29.5 million, or 10.1%, organic sales gain, $19.1 million of acquisition-related sales, and $6.8 million of favorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales increase primarily includes higher sales to customers in critical industries as well as gains in the segment’s European-based hand tools business, power tools business and Asia/Pacific operations.

Operating earnings of $50.9 million in the period increased $7.0 million from 2016 levels, and the operating margin (operating earnings as a percentage of segment sales) of 14.9% compared to 15.3% a year ago.

Snap-on Tools Group segment sales of $409.2 million in the quarter decreased $8.3 million, or 2.0%, from 2016 levels, reflecting a $12.6 million, or 3.0%, organic sales decline, partially offset by $4.3 million of favorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales decrease includes lower sales in the U.S. franchise operations, partially offset by gains in the international franchise operations.

Operating earnings of $67.3 million in the period decreased $6.2 million from 2016 levels, and the operating margin of 16.4% compared to 17.6% a year ago.

Repair Systems & Information Group segment sales of $356.8 million in the quarter increased $37.0 million, or 11.6%, from 2016 levels, reflecting a $20.2 million, or 6.2%, organic sales gain, $10.6 million of acquisition-related sales, and $6.2 million of favorable foreign currency translation. The organic sales gain includes increased sales to OEM dealerships and higher sales of diagnostics and repair information products to independent repair shop owners and managers.

Operating earnings of $89.8 million in the period increased $7.3 million from 2016 levels, and the operating margin of 25.2% compared to 25.8% a year ago.

Financial Services operating earnings of $54.4 million on revenue of $79.9 million in the quarter compared to operating earnings of $51.6 million on revenue of $74.2 million a year ago. Originations of $265.0 million in the fourth quarter increased $4.7 million, or 1.8%, from 2016 levels.

Corporate expenses of $50.3 million in the quarter compared to $23.8 million last year, primarily due to the $30.9 million legal charge, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation expense.

Outlook

Snap-on expects to make continued progress in 2018 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 2018 will be in a range of $90 million to $100 million.

As a result of the recently enacted tax legislation in the U.S., Snap-on currently anticipates that its full year 2018 effective income tax rate will be in a range of 24% to 25%. This compares to a full year 2017 effective tax rate on a reported basis and as adjusted of 31.1% and 30.6%, respectively.

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 facilitating comparisons of our sales performance with prior periods.

In addition, for the fourth quarter and full year 2017, the company is including operating earnings before financial services, consolidated operating earnings, net earnings, diluted earnings per share and effective tax rate, all adjusted. The adjustments exclude the impact of a pre-tax $30.9 million charge ($19.1 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2017 and a pre-tax $45.9 million charge ($28.4 million after-tax) for the full year 2017 related to judgments in litigation matters that are being appealed. For the fourth quarter and full year 2017, the company is also including net earnings, diluted earnings per share and effective tax rate, all as adjusted to exclude the impact of a $7.0 million charge related to the implementation of tax legislation. 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 2017 operating performance. For a reconciliation of the adjusted metrics, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Data

The following non-GAAP supplemental data is presented for informational purposes to provide readers with insight into the information used by management for assessing the operating performance of Snap-on Incorporated's ("Snap-on") non-financial services ("Operations") and "Financial Services" businesses.
The supplemental Operations data reflects the results of operations and financial position of Snap-on's tools, diagnostic and equipment products, software and other non-financial services operations with Financial Services on the equity method. The supplemental Financial Services data reflects the results of operations and financial position of Snap-on's U.S. and international financial services operations. The financing needs of Financial Services are met through intersegment borrowings and cash generated from Operations; Financial Services is charged interest expense on intersegment borrowings at market rates. Income taxes are charged to Financial Services on the basis of the specific tax attributes generated by the U.S. and international financial services businesses. Transactions between the Operations and Financial Services businesses were eliminated to arrive at the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
