UTC Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

2017-04-26 06:30 ET - News Release

- Sales of $13.8 billion were up 3 percent versus prior year including 3 percent organic sales growth
- GAAP EPS of $1.73, up 23 percent versus prior year
- Adjusted EPS of $1.48, up 1 percent versus prior year
- Reaffirms 2017 expectations for Adjusted EPS of $6.30 to $6.60* on sales of $57.5 billion to $59 billion

FARMINGTON, Conn., April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) today reported first quarter 2017 results.  All results in this release reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

"United Technologies is off to a great start in 2017 as all four businesses delivered strong top line growth," said UTC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gregory Hayes.

"Our continued execution against our strategic priorities and our investments in innovation are enabling us to meet our financial commitments. We remain fully confident in our 2017 expectations and our 2020 targets. Our portfolio of industry leading franchises is well positioned to create significant and sustainable long-term shareholder value."

First quarter GAAP EPS of $1.73 was up 32 cents (23 percent) versus the prior year and included 25 cents of favorable non-recurring significant items net of restructuring. Adjusted EPS of $1.48 was up 1 percent. Sales of $13.8 billion were up 3 percent, driven by 3 points of organic growth and 1 point of net acquisition growth, partially offset by 1 point of adverse foreign exchange.

Net income for the quarter was $1.4 billion, up 18 percent versus the prior year. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $1.0 billion (72 percent of net income attributable to common shareholders) and capital expenditures were $325 million. Free cash flow of $668 million in the quarter was 48 percent of net income attributable to common shareowners.

In the quarter, Otis new equipment orders increased 4 percent versus the prior year at constant currency and grew 11 percent excluding China.  Equipment orders at UTC Climate, Controls & Security increased by 7 percent.  Commercial aftermarket sales were up 7 percent at Pratt & Whitney and were up 12 percent at UTC Aerospace Systems.

UTC reiterated its 2017 outlook and continues to anticipate:

  • Adjusted EPS of $6.30 to $6.60*;
  • Total sales of $57.5 to $59 billion, with year over year growth of 1 to 3 percent including organic sales growth of 2 to 4 percent*;
  • Free cash flow in the range of 90 to 100 percent* of net income attributable to common shareowners;
  • Share repurchases of $3.5 billion; and
  • A $1 billion to $2 billion placeholder for acquisitions.

*Note: When we provide expectations for adjusted EPS, organic sales and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures generally is not available without unreasonable effort.  See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

United Technologies Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information.  The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures.  Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies.  We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. 

Adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are non-GAAP financial measures.  Adjusted net sales represents consolidated net sales from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding significant items of a non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature (hereinafter referred to as "other significant items").  Organic sales represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and other significant items.  Adjusted operating profit represents income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items. Adjusted net income represents net income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items. Adjusted diluted EPS represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.  For the business segments, when applicable, adjustments of net sales, operating profit and margins similarly reflect continuing operations, excluding restructuring and other significant items.  Management believes that the non-GAAP measures just mentioned are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance. 

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures.  Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing UTC's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of UTC's common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix.  The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

When we provide our expectation for adjusted EPS, organic sales and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS from continuing operations, sales and expected cash flow from operations) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance.  The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains statements which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" under the securities laws. From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements may also be included in other information released to the public. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide management's current expectations or plans for our future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "expectations," "plans," "strategy," "prospects," "estimate," "project," "target," "anticipate," "will," "should," "see," "guidance," "confident" and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flow, results of operations, uses of cash, share repurchases and other measures of financial performance or potential future plans, strategies or transactions. All forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation: (1) the effect of economic conditions in the industries and markets in which we operate in the U.S. and globally and any changes therein, including financial market conditions, fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, levels of end market demand in construction and in both the commercial and defense segments of the aerospace industry, levels of air travel, financial condition of commercial airlines, the impact of weather conditions and natural disasters and the financial condition of our customers and suppliers; (2) challenges in the development, production, delivery, support, performance and realization of the anticipated benefits of advanced technologies and new products and services; (3) future levels of indebtedness and capital spending and research and development spending; (4) future availability of credit and factors that may affect such availability, including credit market conditions and our capital structure; (5) the timing and scope of future repurchases of our common stock, which may be suspended at any time due to market conditions and the level of other investing activities and uses of cash; (6) delays and disruption in delivery of materials and services from suppliers; (7) company and customer- directed cost reduction efforts and restructuring costs and savings and other consequences thereof; (8) the scope, nature, impact or timing of acquisition and divestiture activity, including among other things integration of acquired businesses into our existing businesses and realization of synergies and opportunities for growth and innovation; (9) new business opportunities; (10) our ability to realize the intended benefits of organizational changes; (11) the anticipated benefits of diversification and balance of operations across product lines, regions and industries; (12) the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and other contingencies; (13) pension plan assumptions and future contributions; (14) the impact of the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and labor disputes; (15) the effect of changes in political conditions in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate, including the effect of changes in U.S. trade policies or the U.K.'s pending withdrawal from the EU, on general market conditions, global trade policies and currency exchange rates in the near term and beyond; and (16) the effect of changes in tax, environmental, regulatory (including among other things import/export) and other laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate.    For additional information identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in forward-looking statements, see our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. As previously disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K, in 2016 we early adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  Amounts previously reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 have been restated as required upon adoption of these ASUs. These restatements had an immaterial impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the quarter then ended.

Debt to total capitalization equals total debt divided by total debt plus equity.  Net debt to net capitalization equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by total debt plus equity less cash and cash equivalents.
