SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE: CSL) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March�31, 2019.

• First quarter revenue increased 8.9% to a record $1.1 billion, of that 5.9% was organic
• Operating income reached a record $114.7 million, an increase of 21.1% year-over-year
• Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the quarter included $0.08 of restructuring, facility rationalization, and acquisition related costs
• Repurchased 1.4 million shares for $157.1 million in the quarter

First Quarter 2019

Revenues of $1.1 billion increased 8.9% from $984.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. Organic revenue grew 5.9% (organic revenue defined as revenue excluding acquired revenues within the last twelve months and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar). Acquired revenues contributed a total of 3.9% in the quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative (0.9%) impact on revenues.

Operating income of $114.7 million was up 21.1% from the first quarter of 2018. Operating income performance was driven by higher sales volume, price realization, and contributions from the Carlisle Operating System (COS), partially offset by increases in labor-related costs, unfavorable mix, and higher restructuring at Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT).

In addition to the factors driving operating income improvement, diluted EPS from continuing operations was beneficially impacted by lower taxes and share count.

During the first quarter of 2019, Carlisle completed the acquisition of Petersen Aluminum Corporation, a manufacturer of high-quality architectural metal products, and subsequently on April 1, 2019, acquired MicroConnex, a manufacturer of highly engineered microminiature flex circuits and sensors.

Carlisle repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $157.1 million in the first quarter.

Comment

Chris Koch, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our record results in the first quarter reflected: continued healthy demand across many of our key end markets, price discipline, efficiencies gained from COS, contributions from acquisitions, and solid execution of our operating plans by Carlisle's employees around the globe. Building on the solid momentum we gained during the fourth quarter of 2018, we drove record first quarter revenues, operating income, and diluted EPS. We also continue to gain traction on the key objectives of Vision 2025, including:

• Achieving 5.9% organic revenue growth, in excess of our long-term growth target of 5%
• Leveraging revenue growth to deliver a 21% increase in operating income
• Maintaining strong price discipline across businesses, leading to positive price realization at all four segments
• Delivering cost savings of 1.3% of sales through COS, within our targeted range of 1-2%
• Utilizing our strong cash flow and balance sheet to deploy over $180 million into share repurchases and dividends paid, now totaling almost $1.1 billion since the beginning of 2017
• Continuing to reshape the portfolio and build out our capabilities by acquiring Petersen Aluminum Corporation within CCM, and on April 1, 2019, MicroConnex within CIT

We are pleased with the strong start to 2019 and are optimistic about both our near and long-term prospects for growth despite persistent uncertainties around the China trade negotiations and Brexit.

We remain focused on executing Vision 2025 objectives: exceeding 5% organic growth, utilizing COS to deliver efficiencies and operating leverage, building scale with synergistic acquisitions, continuing to invest in exceptional talent, and deploying over $3 billion into capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends."

First Quarter 2019 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM)

• Revenues of $671.1 million, up 12.1% (organic +6.3%) year-over-year, were driven by continued strength in U.S. roofing demand, growth in Europe, new product introductions and contributions from acquisitions, despite challenging weather that reduced available roofing days to contractors.
• Operating income was $92.9 million, up 22.6% year-over-year. Operating margin of 13.8%, a 110 basis point improvement, benefited from price/cost realization, savings and benefits from COS, and operational improvements, offset by higher labor and acquisition related costs.
• Items affecting comparability were costs of $1.6 million versus income of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2018.
• We now expect CCM to achieve low-double digit revenue growth in 2019, vs. up high-single to low-double digits prior.

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT)

• Revenues of $246.4 million, up 9.9% (+10.0% organic) year-over-year were driven by strength in Aerospace, Test & Measurement, and Space/Defense.
• Operating income was $30.6 million, up 12.5% year-over-year. Operating margin of 12.4%, a 30 basis point improvement, benefited from higher volumes, price/cost realization, and savings and benefits from COS, partially offset by higher restructuring and labor charges, and unfavorable mix.
• Items affecting comparability were costs of $4.9 million versus $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.
• We now expect CIT to achieve mid-to-high single digit revenue growth in 2019, vs. up mid-single digits prior.

Carlisle Fluid Technologies (CFT)

• Revenues of $63.1 million, down 0.6% (+2.2% organic) year-over-year, reflected strength in standard products in Automotive Refinish and General Industrial markets, partially offset by softer Transportation sales in China and foreign currency translation headwinds.
• Operating income was $6.4 million, up 12.3% year-over-year. Operating margin of 10.1%, a 110 basis point improvement, demonstrates CFT's continued execution of their plans to improve the margin profile of the business. Margins benefited from higher volumes, savings and benefits from COS, and price/cost realization, partially offset by raw material inflation, higher labor-related and restructuring charges.
• Items affecting comparability were income of $0.9 million versus costs of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.
• We continue to expect CFT to achieve mid-single digit revenue growth in 2019.

Carlisle Brake & Friction (CBF)

• Revenues of $91.3 million, down 7.1% (-3.8% organic) year-over-year, reflected difficult year-over-year comparisons (Q1 2018 organic revenue +28.5% y-o-y) in off-highway vehicle end markets, and foreign currency translation headwinds, partially offset by price realization and share gains.
• Operating income was $6.5 million, up 44.4% year-over-year. Operating margin of 7.1%, a 250 basis point improvement, was driven by efficiencies gained by the Tulsa, Oklahoma to Medina, Ohio plant consolidation, lower restructuring costs, price realization, and savings and benefits from COS, partially offset by lower volumes and higher labor-related and raw material costs.
• Items affecting comparability were costs of $1.3 million versus $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2018.
• We now expect CBF revenues to be flat in 2019, vs. up low-single-digits prior.

Cash Flow

Free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, and comprised of continuing and discontinued operations) was $86.5 million for the first three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $95.8 million versus the prior year. The increase in free cash flow was primarily attributable to higher cash earnings, more efficient usage of working capital, and lower capital expenditures.

During the first three months ended March 31, 2019, we redeployed our free cash flow towards the acquisitions of Petersen Aluminum Corporation, the repurchase of Carlisle common stock for $157.1 million and $23.3 million in dividends paid. As of March�31, 2019, we had $516.6 million of cash and $1 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility.

Unaudited Items Affecting Comparability Information

Items affecting comparability include costs, and losses or gains related to, among other things, growth and profitability improvement initiatives and other events outside of core business operations (such as asset impairments, exit and disposal and facility rationalization charges, costs of and related to acquisitions, litigation settlement costs, gains and losses from and costs related to divestitures, and discrete tax items). Because these items affect Carlisle's, or any particular operating segment's, financial condition or results in a specific period in which they are recognized, we believe it is appropriate to present the total of these items to provide information regarding the comparability of results of operations period to period.
