AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

•	Increased adjusted EBITDA 4.5 percent to $59.9 million.


•	Reported quarterly net income per diluted share of $0.14 compared with $0.16 and quarterly adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.14 compared with $0.12.

ATLANTA - Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA) announced today that for its fourth quarter ended September 30, 2015, net sales were $311.4 million, a decrease of 2.9 percent compared with the prior year. Operating income was $44.4 million compared with $43.0 million in the prior year, an increase of 3.3 percent, and adjusted operating income was $45.0 million compared with $43.1 million in the prior year, an increase of 4.4 percent. Net income per diluted share was $0.14 compared with $0.16 in the prior year, although adjusted net income per diluted share improved to $0.14 from $0.12. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $59.9 million from $57.3 million in the prior year. Full year adjusted net income per diluted share increased 30 percent to $0.39 from $0.30. Net debt leverage declined to 2.0x at the end of the 2015 fourth quarter, and the Company reduced its total debt outstanding by $52.0 million during 2015.

“For consolidated Mueller Water Products, adjusted EBITDA margin for the 2015 fourth quarter improved 130 basis points to 19.2 percent. We had particularly strong margin improvement at Mueller Co. with adjusted EBITDA margin improving 230 basis points to 28.8 percent,” said Gregory E. Hyland, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water Products.

“At Mueller Co., orders did not rebound in areas impacted by third quarter adverse weather conditions until September as distributors were able to meet end-market demand largely through their higher beginning fourth quarter inventory levels.

“Anvil’s net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter decreased $14.0 million to $93.7 million due to lower shipment volumes into the oil & gas market.

“As we look out to 2016, we expect growth in our key end markets driven by spending increases in residential and non-residential construction and by municipalities. With capacity utilization increases, we believe operating leverage will continue to improve. In addition, we are focused on execution and profitable growth at Mueller Technologies.”

Segment Reporting

The Company has redefined its reporting segments to provide greater transparency of its operations to stockholders and the financial community and to better reflect how the Company manages its businesses. As a result, the Company now reports segment results for Mueller Co., Anvil and Mueller Technologies. Mueller Technologies is currently comprised of the results of the Mueller Systems and Echologics businesses, which previously were reported within the Mueller Co. segment.

Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter decreased $9.3 million, or 2.9 percent, to $311.4 million as compared with $320.7 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, due primarily to lower shipment volumes at Anvil, the divestiture of Mueller Co.'s Canadian municipal castings business earlier this year and the unfavorable impact from Canadian currency exchange rates.

Adjusted operating income for the 2015 fourth quarter increased 4.4 percent to $45.0 million as compared with $43.1 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, primarily due to better performance at Mueller Co. and lower corporate expenses.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Mueller Co.

Net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter increased 1.7 percent to $192.0 million as compared with $188.8 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. Higher shipment volumes were offset by the divestiture of Mueller Co.'s Canadian municipal castings business earlier this year, which had net sales of $3.4 million in the 2014 fourth quarter, and the $3.0 million unfavorable impact from Canadian currency exchange rates.

Adjusted operating income for the 2015 fourth quarter improved 12.9 percent to $45.6 million as compared with $40.4 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating margin for the 2015 fourth quarter improved 240 basis points to 23.8 percent as compared with 21.4 percent for the 2014 fourth quarter.

Anvil

Net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter decreased 13.0 percent to $93.7 million as compared with $107.7 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. This decrease resulted primarily from $12.9 million of lower shipment volumes into the oil & gas market.

Adjusted operating income for the 2015 fourth quarter was $8.9 million as compared with $16.8 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. This decrease reflects lower net sales, an unfavorable shift in product mix and a $2.5 million gain on the sale of assets in the 2014 fourth quarter.

Mueller Technologies

Net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter increased 6.2 percent to $25.7 million as compared with $24.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. This increase resulted primarily from higher shipment volumes.

Adjusted operating loss for the 2015 fourth quarter was $1.8 million as compared with $2.1 million for the 2014 fourth quarter.

Corporate

Corporate expenses were down $4.3 million in the 2015 fourth quarter, primarily due to lower personnel-related expenses.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the 2015 fourth quarter declined $6.2 million to $5.8 million as compared with $12.0 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. The decline was due to lower interest rates and lower amounts of debt outstanding. During the 2015 first quarter, the Company prepaid all of our Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes and entered into a new term loan.

Income Taxes

For the 2015 fourth quarter, income tax expense was $16.3 million on income before income taxes of $38.6 million, or an effective income tax rate of 42.2 percent. Income tax expense included deferred tax asset valuation allowance expenses of $0.3 million compared with an $8.0 million benefit included in the 2014 fourth quarter. Excluding these adjustments, the effective income tax rates were 41 percent and 39 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as well as through the use of non-GAAP measures. The Company presents adjusted

operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, free cash flow, net debt and net debt leverage as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income represents operating income excluding restructuring, the loss on the receivable from Walter Energy and pension settlements. This amount divided by net sales is adjusted operating margin. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income excluding restructuring, the loss on the receivable from Walter Energy, pension settlements, depreciation and amortization. This amount divided by net sales is adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company presents adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because these are measures management believes are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude, on an after-tax basis, restructuring, pension settlements, the loss on the receivable from Walter Energy, certain tax adjustments and expenses related to the early extinguishment of debt. These items are excluded because they are not considered indicative of recurring operations. Free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. It is presented as a measurement of cash flows because management believes it is commonly used by the investment community. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt leverage represents net debt divided by trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA. Net debt and net debt leverage are commonly used by the investment community as measures of indebtedness. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release and has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.
