Ingersoll Rand Announces 2009 Third-Quarter Earnings per Share of $0.68 from Continuing Operations; and Available Cash Generation of $1.2 Billion Year-to-Date

Ingersoll-Rand plc (NYSE:IR), the world leader in creating and sustaining safe, comfortable and efficient environments, today announced that total reported revenues decreased by 19% for the third quarter of 2009, compared with the 2008 third quarter, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were at the upper end of prior guidance.

The company reported net earnings of $216.6 million, or EPS of $0.65, for the third quarter of 2009. Third-quarter net income included $224.9 million, or EPS of $0.68, from continuing operations, as well as $8.3 million of after-tax costs, equal to EPS of $(0.03), from discontinued operations. This compares to net earnings for the 2008 third quarter of $227.7 million, or EPS of $0.70, which included EPS of $0.72 from continuing operations and $(0.02) from discontinued operations. Third-quarter 2009 EPS from continuing operations, excluding approximately $10 million of pre-tax restructuring costs, was $0.70. Third quarter earnings included a discrete tax benefit of $13.7 million, or EPS $0.04. However, year-to-date, cumulative discrete tax items have amounted to a ($0.02) drag on EPS.

“Our revenues in the quarter came in at the low end of our guidance range as we continue to see challenges in our major end markets, which were essentially flat compared with the second quarter,” said Herbert L. Henkel, chairman and chief executive officer. “Despite the lower-than-expected revenues, we delivered sequentially improving margins and adjusted EPS near the top of our guidance as we continued to drive productivity improvements, generate synergies across our global operations, and control spending. These actions and working capital reductions contributed to another quarter of outstanding cash generation, which enabled us to significantly accelerate our debt reduction compared with our 2009 target. We have significant opportunities to increase our earnings. Our expanded synergy and restructuring programs are geared toward changing our organization and culture, integrating our business activities and increasing our capacity utilization. These actions, combined with our strategic investments in new products and services, provide the fuel for sustained sales and earnings growth.

Additional Highlights for the 2009 Third Quarter

Revenues: The company’s reported revenues decreased by 19% to $3,482.7 million compared with revenues of $4,313.2 million for the 2008 third quarter. Total revenues declined by 19%, including a negative currency impact of 2%, compared with 2008. Reported U.S. revenues decreased by 15%, and revenues from international operations declined by approximately 26% (down by 22% excluding currency), with the sharpest year-over-year declines registered in Europe.

Operating Income and Margin: Reported operating income for the third quarter was $318.3 million compared with $347.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. Third-quarter 2009 included approximately $10 million of pre-tax costs related to restructuring. Third-quarter reported operating margin was 9.1%, or 9.4% excluding restructuring, compared to a reported operating margin of 8.1% for the same period of 2008. Third-quarter 2008 operating income included approximately $122 million of onetime purchase accounting costs related to the acquisition of Trane. Excluding these onetime costs, the comparable third quarter 2008 operating margin would have been 10.9%. Substantial declines in volume, unfavorable product mix and negative currency impact caused decreases in operating profits and margins. The volume decline was partially offset by expense reductions, productivity actions, and lower commodity costs.

Interest Expense and Other Income/Expense: Interest expense of $76.5 million for the third quarter of 2009 decreased compared with $83.7 million in the 2008 third quarter, due to lower debt balances. Other income totaled $0.5 million for the third quarter, compared with $1.8 million of income for the third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year difference is primarily attributable to lower interest income partially offset by lower currency losses in 2009.

Taxes: The company’s reported tax rate, which included a $13.7 million benefit from discrete tax items, was 4.7% for the third quarter. The company reduced its projected tax rate for the 2009 fourth quarter to 14%, reflecting the reduction in the high-end of the forecast full-year earnings range.

Third-quarter Business Review

The company reports the results of its businesses in four segments based on industry and market focus: Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies, and Security Technologies.

Air Conditioning Systems and Services (ACSS), which represents the results of Trane, provides systems and services that create and sustain safe, comfortable and efficient environments in homes and non-residential buildings. Reported revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $1,771 million with operating income of $151.7 million. Total revenues for the third quarter declined by 14% (down by 12% excluding currency). On a year-over-year basis, total commercial revenues decreased by 16% (down by 14% excluding currency), with a 25% decline (down by 23% excluding currency) in equipment and systems revenue and a 3% decrease (down by 1% excluding currency) in parts, services and solutions. Commercial revenues decreased in all major geographic regions during the quarter due to continued lower activity in non-residential construction markets and ongoing deferral of maintenance by customers. Residential revenues declined by 6% compared with the third quarter of 2008. The U.S. housing market and replacement spending remain weak but are declining at a decelerating rate. Third-quarter segment operating margin was 8.6%, including purchase accounting and restructuring costs. Productivity actions and lower commodity costs offset the negative impact of lower volumes on third-quarter margins. Please see Table 6 attached to this release for detail on the impact of purchase accounting and other items on operating income.

Climate Control Technologies provides solutions to transport, preserve, store and display temperature-sensitive products, and includes the market-leading brands of Hussmann® and Thermo King®. Revenues for the sector of $650 million decreased by approximately 27% (down by 26% excluding currency) compared with the third quarter of 2008. Third-quarter 2009 operating margin, including $0.6 million of restructuring costs, declined to 9.3%, compared with 11.5% in the 2008-third quarter. Total worldwide refrigerated trailer and truck revenues decreased by approximately 30%, reflecting the decline of the heavy truck market, primarily in Europe, which was partially offset by share gains. Sea-going container revenues and worldwide bus and aftermarket revenues all declined due to the ongoing lower end market activity. Worldwide revenues for refrigerated display cases and contracting decreased by 25% compared with the third quarter of 2008 as slower supermarket capital expenditures, both in Europe and in the United States, offset market share gains by Hussmann in display cases at major national chains. The margin decrease was primarily due to a substantial decline in volumes, unfavorable product mix and currency, which were partially offset by significant operational improvements, productivity gains, savings from prior period restructuring actions and some carryover pricing.

Industrial Technologies is focused on providing solutions to enhance customers’ productivity and energy efficiency and provides equipment and services for compressed air systems, tools, fluid power production, golf and utility vehicles in addition to energy generation systems. Total revenues in the third quarter of $512 million decreased by approximately 29% (down by 27% excluding currency) compared with the third quarter of 2008. Air and Productivity revenues declined by 29% due to lower volumes in all geographic regions and the negative impact of currency translation. Revenues in the Americas decreased by 33% compared with last year due to declines in major industrial, process and fluid handling end markets. Air and Productivity Solutions revenues in Europe, Asia and India decreased by approximately 24% (down by 21% excluding currency) compared with 2008. Club Car revenues declined by 29% compared with the third quarter of 2008 due to ongoing weak fundamentals in key golf, hospitality and recreation markets. Third-quarter operating margin for Industrial Technologies of 8.4%, including $3.5 million of restructuring costs, declined compared with 11.3% last year, due to lower volumes, unfavorable mix and currency, which were partially offset by cost productivity and carryover pricing benefits.

Security Technologies includes mechanical and electronic security products; biometric and access-control technologies; security and scheduling software; integration and services. Third-quarter revenues of $550 million declined by approximately 15% (down by 13% excluding currency) compared with the third quarter of 2008. This decline reflects contracting worldwide commercial and residential building markets. Commercial security revenues decreased by approximately 17% (down by 14% excluding currency) compared with 2008, primarily resulting from declining new building and remodeling markets in the United States and Europe. North American residential revenues declined by approximately 7% primarily due to ongoing weakness in the new-homebuilder channel, which were partially offset by new products sales to retail customers. Third-quarter operating margin of 21.3%, which included $2.0 million of restructuring costs, increased significantly compared with 19.4% in the third quarter of 2008. The operating margin increase was due to accelerated productivity actions, strong cost controls, carryover pricing and lower commodity costs, which more than offset lower volumes.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total debt at the end of the third quarter was approximately $4.1 billion. Year-to-date, the company has generated available cash flow of approximately $1.2 billion from earnings and working capital reductions. Total financing has been reduced by $850 million year-to-date.

“Our focus on generating cash flow continues to pay off. Working capital reductions are exceeding targets, primarily driven by significant inventory reductions. We are ahead of plan in reducing our financing and we have increased our financing pay-down target this year from $675 million to $1.0 billion. We also expect to generate $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion of available cash flow for full year 2009, significantly exceeding our original plan target of $920 million,” said Henkel.

Productivity Actions / Restructuring / Trane Acquisition Synergies

The company achieved a total gross productivity increase of 5.2% in the third quarter compared with the third quarter of 2008, and is on track to achieve $670 million of gross productivity for the full year, exceeding the original target of $650 million. During the third quarter, the company expanded the scope of its restructuring program that was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008. The company now expects to spend approximately $277 million ($71 million in 2008, $109 million in 2009 and $97 million in 2010), an increase of $137 million compared to prior guidance. Since the inception of the restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2008, the company has spent approximately $132 million, reducing headcount and closing facilities. The restructuring programs are expected to generate $195 million of annual gross pre-tax savings in 2009 and approximately $145 million of incremental savings in 2010.

The company continued to make progress with the integration of Trane. At the beginning of the fourth quarter the company will initiate several additional actions, including the formation of the Climate Solutions Sector, combining the Climate Control Technologies Sector, which includes the Thermo King and Hussmann businesses, with the Trane Commercial HVAC business.

In addition to the restructuring benefits and other productivity programs, the company expects to generate $185 million of incremental synergy savings in 2009. The company expects to achieve at least $190 million of incremental synergy savings in 2010, including these structural organization changes.

Change in Organizational Structure

Effective with reporting fourth quarter 2009 results, the company’s four segments will be Climate Solutions, which includes Trane Commercial HVAC Systems, Hussmann and the Thermo King businesses; Residential Solutions, which includes the residential HVAC and residential security businesses; Security Technologies, which includes the commercial security businesses; and Industrial Technologies, which includes Air and Productivity Solutions and Club Car.

2009 Outlook

Ingersoll Rand’s major end markets continued to experience weaker year over year demand in the third quarter. Third-quarter orders, excluding currency, declined by approximately 17% compared with last year, a modest improvement compared with the year-over-year rate of change in both the first and second quarters of 2009. “Based on our recent order pattern, activity levels in all of our major end markets continue to be sluggish. It appears that we are bouncing along the bottom in most of our businesses,” said Henkel. “We do see some tentative positive signs in residential security and HVAC, North American refrigerated trailers and across several of our businesses in China. However, U.S. non-residential construction and European industrial and construction markets continue to be difficult.

“Fourth-quarter results will continue to be negatively influenced by the ongoing difficult economic conditions. Given our current macroeconomic view, our fourth-quarter revenue forecast is $3.2 to $3.4 billion, and is down by approximately 7% to 13% compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 and down by $200 million compared with prior guidance. For the balance of 2009, we expect to capture significant benefits from lower commodity costs, additional Trane acquisition synergies, restructuring savings and productivity programs. In addition, our spending on new product launches will increase by $15 million compared with the third quarter, leading to adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter in the range of $0.44 to $0.54. The fourth quarter forecast excludes the effect of restructuring expenses and reflects a tax rate of 14% for continuing operations and an average diluted share count of 332 million shares.

“We anticipate revenues for full-year 2009 in the range of $13.1 to $13.3 billion, or a decline of 19% to 20%, including 2 points of negative currency impact, compared with pro forma 2008 revenues. “Full-year 2009 EPS from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.70 with costs related to discontinued operations equal to $0.10 per share. This full-year forecast excludes the effect of restructuring expenses and reflects a tax rate of 14% for continuing operations and an average diluted share count of 330 million shares. Available cash flow for 2009 will enable us to reduce financing by approximately $1.0 billion, based on projected earnings and working capital reductions.”

2010 Forecast Framework

“The outlook for the strength and timing of the global economic recovery and the performance of our end markets remains cloudy. A preliminary review of our internal cost reduction and productivity improvement actions for next year gives us confidence that we can grow our earnings for 2010 even if our markets remain weak. Even in a flat year over year end market environment, with planned productivity exceeding cost inflation by one to two percentage points, our projected EPS would be in the range of $2.00 to $2.40 per share, excluding restructuring costs, up 21% to 45% compared with the midpoint of our full year 2009 forecast. We will continue to refine our estimates in the fourth quarter and will provide a more definitive forecast review at our regularly scheduled fourth quarter earnings call.

“Despite slower economic conditions, our business fundamentals remain strong. We have leading global brands and leading market shares in all of our major product lines. Our balance sheet is solid, we are generating significant cash, we are reducing debt, and we have considerable available liquidity. Our number one priority is managing through the current economic slowdown so that we mitigate its impact and emerge as a stronger, more efficient company,” said Henkel.

As a result of the recently issued standard for accounting for noncontrolling interests, all amounts reported within the earnings release above related to net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations, earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, and per share amounts are attributed to Ingersoll Rand’s common shareholders.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). This supplemental schedule provides adjusted non-GAAP financial information and a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measure and the financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. It has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies.
We believe the non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing our financial condition and cash flow.

The non-GAAP financial measure of available cash flow assists investors with analyzing our business results as well as with predicting future performance. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure is reviewed by management in order to evaluate the financial performance of each segment as well as the Company as a whole. It is the basis for performance reviews, compensation and resource allocation. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as management.

As a result, one should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, prominently disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.
