Fiscal 2018 First Quarter Key Developments
- Sales were
$542 million , compared with$477 million in the same quarter last year. Sales increased by 14 percent, driven by 13 percent organic growth and a 2 percent favorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by a 1 percent decrease due to fewer business days. - Pre-tax restructuring and related charges were
$7 million , or$0.07 per share, and pre-tax benefits from cost savings initiatives were approximately$40 million . In the prior year quarter, pre-tax restructuring and related charges were$32 million , or$0.38 per share, and pre-tax benefits from cost savings initiatives were approximately$18 million . - Operating income was
$56 million , compared to an operating loss of$9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income was$63 million , compared to$22 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in adjusted operating income is due primarily to organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits, favorable mix and higher productivity and fixed cost absorption, partially offset by higher compensation expense, more overtime costs and higher raw material costs. Operating income margin was 10.4 percent in the current period compared to operating loss margin of 1.9 percent in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income margin was 11.7 percent in the current period compared to 4.7 percent in the prior year quarter. - The reported effective tax rate (ETR) was 19.5 percent and the adjusted ETR was 18.0 percent. For the prior year quarter, the reported ETR was 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) and the adjusted ETR was 38.7 percent (provision on income). The change in both the reported and adjusted rates is primarily driven by U.S. losses in the prior year and U.S. income in the current year - neither of which can be tax affected due to a full valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets.
- EPS were
$0.48 , compared with LPS of$0.27 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EPS were$0.55 in the current quarter and$0.11 in the prior year quarter. - Year-to-date free operating cash flow was negative
$62 million compared to negative$18 million in the same period last year. The decrease in free operating cash flow was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by higher cash from operations before changes in certain other assets and liabilities, and lower restructuring payments. - EBITDA were
$82 million , compared with$17 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA were$89 million in the current quarter and$49 million in the prior year quarter.
Segment Developments for the Fiscal 2018 First Quarter
- Industrial segment sales of
$297 million increased 11 percent from$269 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting organic growth of 9 percent and a 2 percent favorable currency exchange impact.

On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased 14 percent inAsia Pacific , 8 percent in theAmericas and 7 percent in EMEA. - Industrial segment operating income was
$35 million compared to$6 million in the prior year quarter.

Industrial operating margin was 11.7 percent compared to 2.1 percent in the prior year quarter. Industrial adjusted operating margin was 13.1 percent compared with 9.0 percent in the prior year quarter. - Widia segment sales of
$45 million increased 10 percent from$41 million in the prior year quarter, driven by organic growth of 9 percent and a 1 percent favorable currency exchange impact. Contributing to Widia organic growth were the reorganization of distribution inEurope , growth inIndia related to higher local and global demand trends, in addition to increasing demand in the U.S. energy markets and higher growth rates in emerging markets. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased 19 percent in EMEA, 8 percent inAsia Pacific and 5 percent in theAmericas . - Widia segment operating income was less than
$1 million compared to an operating loss of$6 million in the prior year quarter.

Widia adjusted operating income margin was 1.9 percent compared with adjusted operating loss margin of 6.7 percent in the prior year quarter. - Infrastructure segment sales of
$200 million increased 20 percent from$167 million in the prior year quarter, driven by organic growth of 19 percent and a 2 percent favorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by a 1 percent decrease due to fewer business days.

Oil and gas in the U.S. is now stabilizing, manifesting in high year-over-year growth in energy with average U.S. land rig counts up over 100 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Underground mining continues to show signs of improvement in the earthworks market. Construction sales improved in part due to the timing of orders related to road rehabilitation season. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased 21 percent inAsia Pacific , 20 percent in theAmericas and 8 percent in EMEA. - Infrastructure segment operating income was
$22 million compared to an operating loss of$8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income was$24 million compared to$2 million in the prior year quarter. The change in adjusted operating results was primarily due to organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits, favorable mix and higher fixed cost absorption and productivity, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Infrastructure operating income margin was 11.0 percent compared to operating loss margin of 4.5 percent in the prior year quarter. Infrastructure adjusted operating income margin was 12.1 percent compared with 1.4 percent in the prior year quarter.
