Crane Co. (NYSE:CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported second quarter 2021 financial results and updated its full-year 2021 outlook.

Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "We delivered another quarter of exceptionally strong results with record adjusted operating margins of 17.6% and record adjusted EPS. All three of our strategic growth platforms continue to perform extremely well, and we continue to see strengthening underlying trends in our primary end markets as reflected in our core year-over-year order growth of 45% and core year-over-year backlog growth of 7%."

"Considering our strong performance in the second quarter and our outlook for the balance of the year, we are raising our adjusted EPS from continuing operations guidance by $0.30 to a range of $5.95-$6.15 reflecting an approximate 70% year-over-year increase. The midpoint of our guidance range is also above our prior-peak 2019 total adjusted EPS of $6.02 despite Engineered Materials' current classification as discontinued operations, and with the majority of our end markets in the very early stages of recovery and still well below pre-COVID levels. We are also continuing our substantial investments in technology and strategic growth initiatives positioning us for continued outgrowth through the post-COVID recovery, and we expect strong operating leverage given our consistently solid execution. I am confident that we remain on a path to generate substantial and sustainable value for all of our stakeholders by continuing to drive above-market growth, paired with ongoing active portfolio management."

Second Quarter 2021 Results from Continuing Operations

Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings from continuing operations per diluted share (EPS) of $1.87, compared to $0.23 in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding Special Items, second quarter 2021 EPS from continuing operations was $1.83, compared to $0.60 in the second quarter of 2020. Both GAAP and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2021 included an excess tax benefit of approximately $4 million, or $0.07 per share, related to stock options exercised during the quarter. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables for a detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.)

Second quarter 2021 sales were $796 million, an increase of 24% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The sales increase was comprised of a $120 million, or 19%, increase in core sales, and a $32 million, or 5%, benefit from favorable foreign exchange.

Second quarter 2021 operating profit was $137 million, compared to $29 million in the second quarter of 2020. Operating profit margin was 17.2%, compared to 4.5% last year, with the improvement driven primarily by higher volumes as well as benefits from 2020 cost actions and the non-recurrence of repositioning charges. Excluding Special Items, second quarter 2021 operating profit was $140 million, compared to $58 million last year. Excluding Special Items, operating profit margin was a record 17.6%, compared to 9.0% last year.

Cash Flow and Other Financial Metrics

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the first half of 2021 was $198 million, compared to $76 million in the first half of 2020. Capital expenditures in the first half of 2021 were $14 million, compared to $13 million last year. First half 2021 free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital spending) was $184 million, compared to $62 million last year.

During the second quarter, we received cash proceeds of approximately $9 million from the sale of real estate in Phoenix, Arizona. This follows the first quarter receipt of approximately $15 million from the sale of real estate in Long Beach, California. Both of these sales were recorded as cash from investing activities, and consequently, excluded from free cash flow. Since 2017, we have received proceeds from the sale of real estate and other assets facilitated by repositioning activities and active management of excess assets of approximately $56 million.

The Company held cash and short-term investments of $387 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $581 million at December 31, 2020. Total debt was $858 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $1,219 million at December 31, 2020.

Rich Maue, Crane Co. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added: "Crane Co's free cash generation continues to be robust and our balance sheet is extremely strong, with our credit metrics and financial capacity already back above pre-COVID levels. We will continue to drive shareholder return through capital deployment with strict financial discipline and a focus on long-term sustainable value creation."

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain non-GAAP measures are provided in this presentation. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Specifically, management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and management in understanding ongoing operations and by providing a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. In addition, Free Cash Flow provides supplemental information to assist investors and management in analyzing the Company's ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's core operating results and financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP results are included in the tables at the end of this press release.
