FRANKLIN, TN, Wednesday, January 16, 2013-CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE: CLC) reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012. Diluted earnings per share for full year 2012 equaled the record high diluted earnings per share of $2.42 in full year 2011. However, the diluted earnings per share comparison between full year 2012 and full year 2011 was influenced by an additional or fifty-third week in full year 2011. After taking into account this additional week in 2011, diluted earnings per share increased approximately 2%, or $0.05, in full year 2012. Operating margin of 16.3% in full year 2012 improved 0.2 percentage points from full year 2011.
                  
Significant full year 2012 financial and strategic highlights include the following:

Full year consolidated operating margin of 16.3% was the highest in over 20 years
Engine/Mobile segment operating margin exceeded 20.0% for the 12th consecutive year
Continued improvement in Industrial/Environmental segment operating margin to 12.0%
Generated cash from operations of $136 million and returned $62 million to shareholders
Oil and gas filtration sales increased $14.0 million, or 7%, from full year 2011
Committed $12.0 million for an oil and gas filtration research center in Mineral Wells, TX

The Company's fourth quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share of $0.72 declined $0.01, or 2%, from the fourth quarter of 2011 on 5% lower net sales. However, the diluted earnings per share comparison between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011 was influenced by an additional or fourteenth fiscal week in the fourth quarter of 2011. After taking into account this additional week, diluted earnings per share increased approximately 6%, or $0.04, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Operating margin of 18.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 improved 0.3 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2011.

Changes in average foreign currency exchange rates negatively influenced net sales by $11.9 million, or 1%, and operating profit by $2.0 million, or 1%, for full year 2012 compared with full year 2011. Changes in average foreign currency exchange rates negatively influenced net sales by $1.5 million, or less than 1%, and operating profit by $0.2 million, or less than 1%, in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

All 2012 to 2011 net sales and operating profit comparisons included in the sections below have been adjusted to take into account the additional week in the fourth quarter and full year of 2011. A reconciliation of non-GAAP figures adjusting for the additional week in the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 to GAAP figures is available at the end of this document.

Chris Conway, CLARCOR's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although 2012 was a challenging year from several perspectives, we were particularly proud of our operational execution in the face of top line headwinds. We concluded the year with a fourth quarter operating margin of 18.1%, our highest quarterly operating margin since 1991. This fourth quarter performance capped off our full year 2012 in which we generated a 16.3% operating margin, 0.2 percentage points higher than full year 2011 and our highest annual operating margin in almost 20 years. We were able to execute despite relatively flat 2012 sales growth which was influenced by the impact of the fifty-third week in 2011 and lower sales in our Packaging segment and foreign heavy-duty engine filtration markets, partially offset by higher sales in our oil and gas, distribution and dust collector filtration markets. We will continue to focus on our execution and related expansion of operating margin going forward.

“Sales in our domestic heavy-duty engine filtration aftermarket grew approximately 3% in 2012. This sales growth was not consistent on a quarterly basis through 2012. Our domestic aftermarket sales grew approximately 17% in the first quarter followed by small year-over-year declines in the second and third quarters. We concluded the year with approximately 5% aftermarket sales growth in the fourth quarter. As we have discussed previously, we believe that softer sales in the middle of the year were consistent with slowing industry demand primarily in the over-the-road truck market-which represents about two-thirds of our domestic aftermarket-indicative of the slow expansion in the U.S. economy. Nevertheless, we believe we maintained domestic aftermarket share during the year and capped off 2012 with recovering year-over-year fourth quarter domestic aftermarket growth.
      
“We will continue to focus on profitable sales growth in our heavy-duty engine filtration markets both domestically and internationally going forward. Although uncertainty remains in several foreign markets including China, where heavy-duty engine filtration sales declined approximately 10% in 2012, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on projected long-term first-fit and aftermarket heavy-duty engine filtration growth. In our domestic market, we expect to continue to grow through expanding our distribution channels as evidenced by the launch of several aftermarket OE dealer programs this past year. To support the expected growth in our U.S. and export markets, we successfully completed the expansion of our Yankton, South Dakota heavy-duty engine filtration manufacturing facility in 2012.

“Our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment continued to grow profitably in 2012 as net sales increased approximately 6% while operating margin climbed to a record high of 12.0%-0.9 percentage points higher than our operating margin in 2011. Our 2012 sales growth was driven by higher global oil and gas filtration product sales. Domestically, we benefited from increased drilling activity in shale formations. Internationally, we continued to expand our natural gas filtration vessel and aftermarket presence in many markets including the Middle East, Australia and Southeast Asia. In addition to continued growth in the oil and gas markets, 2012 sales growth in our Industrial/Environment Filtration segment was influenced by a 14% increase in sales at our Total Filtration Services (TFS) distribution business and 15% higher sales of our dust collector systems. Operating profit in each of these markets increased in excess of 40% in 2012. We believe the continued anticipated growth in our oil and gas markets and our anticipated continued expansion of operating margins in our environmental air markets position us well to achieve our long-term operating margin goal of 15% in the next two to three years in this reporting segment.

“2012 was a challenging year for our Packaging segment where net sales declined 16% driven in part by lower smokeless tobacco packaging sales due to one of our major customers qualifying a second source supplier. In response to lower sales, we modified our cost structure throughout the year. As a result, our operating margin in this reporting segment sequentially improved each quarter in 2012 from 2.0% in the first quarter to 11.4% in the fourth quarter-3.6 percentage points higher than the fourth quarter of 2011.”

Fourth Quarter Results:

Engine/Mobile Filtration Segment

Net sales in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment declined approximately 2% in the fourth quarter of 2012 based on relatively flat year-over-year domestic sales and an approximate 5% reduction in sales outside the U.S. The relatively flat U.S. sales in the fourth quarter were driven by a 5% increase in domestic heavy-duty engine filter aftermarket sales offset by declines in sales to the automotive market and sales to other filter companies. The fourth quarter domestic aftermarket sales were consistent with the third quarter of 2012 and in-line with our expectations heading into the quarter. The decline in sales outside the U.S. compared with the fourth quarter of 2011 was influenced by a 10% reduction in heavy-duty engine filter sales in our China market which has been heavily impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty and related lower diesel engine manufacturing.
  
Operating profit at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment increased approximately 2% in the fourth quarter of 2012 driven by a 1.0 percentage point improvement in operating margin to 24.1%. This increase in operating margin was primarily due to lower selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales as company-wide profit sharing declined due to lower than expected financial performance in this reporting segment and legal costs were lower than the fourth quarter of 2011 driven by the settlement of various legal proceedings in late 2011 and early 2012.

Industrial/Environmental Filtration Segment

Net sales in our Industrial/Environmental filtration segment rose approximately 9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 including a 4% increase in domestic sales and 20% increase in foreign sales. Our growth in domestic sales was the result of higher sales of sand control screen filters to support the off-shore oil drilling market and higher liquid filter sales at our Total Filtration Systems (TFS) distribution business partially offset by lower aviation and commercial air filtration sales. The increase in foreign sales in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by several large natural gas and petrochemical vessel orders in Europe and Southeast Asia in addition to sales arising from the second quarter acquisition of Modular Engineering to support natural gas vessel and aftermarket filter sales in Australia.

Operating profit at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment increased approximately 6% in the fourth quarter of 2012 driven by higher sales. Operating margin declined 0.4 percentage points from last year's fourth quarter to 14.0%. This reduction in operating margin from the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to lower gross margin in our oil and gas business from the higher mix of vessel versus aftermarket element sales in our natural gas and petrochemical markets in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with last year's fourth quarter. Lower gross margin was partially offset by lower selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.






4





Packaging Segment

Net sales at our Packaging segment declined approximately 12% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Consistent with prior quarters, the sales reduction from last year's fourth quarter was primarily driven by lower smokeless tobacco and confection packaging sales. Despite this reduction in net sales, operating profit increased approximately 29%. This increase in operating profit was driven by a 3.6 percentage point improvement in operating margin driven by a 1.9 percentage point increase in gross margin from lower material and scrap costs and a 1.7 percentage point reduction in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales.

2012 Cash Flow

We generated $135.9 million of cash from operations in 2012, a $16.3 million increase from 2011 primarily from efficient working capital management partially offset by a $7.4 million increase in payments to fund pension obligations. With our 2012 cash from operations, we funded $36.5 million of capital expenditures, including approximately $13.2 million for the expansion of our Yankton, South Dakota heavy-duty engine filter manufacturing facility, and we returned $62.2 million to shareholders in the form of $24.9 million in quarterly dividends and $37.3 million ($20.6 million in the fourth quarter) for the repurchase of common stock-our highest annual share repurchase program since 2007.

2013 Guidance:

Our guidance for 2013 diluted earnings per share is $2.45 to $2.60. Anticipated sales growth from 2012 and operating margin by segment and on a consolidated basis are as follows:

 
2013 Estimated Sales Growth
 
2013 Estimated Operating Margin
 
 
 
 
Engine/Mobile Filtration
2.0% to 3.0%
 
21.5% to 22.5%
Industrial/Environmental Filtration
4.0% to 6.0%
 
12.0% to 13.0%
Packaging
-5.0% to -1.0%
 
8.0% to 9.0%
CLARCOR
2.5% to 4.0%
 
16.0% to 17.0%


We project 2013 cash from operations to be between $125 million and $135 million, capital expenditures to be between $45 million and $55 million and our effective tax rate to be between 32.0% and 33.0%.

Chris Conway commented on 2013 guidance: “We enter 2013 with cautious optimism. Although we concluded 2012 with a solid fourth quarter, macroeconomic uncertainty remains in many of our significant geographic markets including the U.S., Europe and China. In light of this continued uncertainty, coupled with our general lack of forward visibility in some of our significant product markets-notably in our heavy-duty engine filtration market, we expect 2013 consolidated sales growth of 2.5% to 4.0% and expect 2013 diluted earnings per share from $2.45 to $2.60. If global macroeconomic uncertainty lessens as we progress through the year, we would anticipate financial performance in the upper half of our guidance range.

“Despite short-term macroeconomic uncertainty heading into 2013, we expect to build upon our historical foundation of success and continue to develop our long-term growth initiatives including introducing innovative products and entering new markets while leveraging our technology and media development capabilities. Specifically, we believe that growth in our oil and gas markets should continue to build momentum, and although uncertainty remains in China, our dust collector system sales there grew 17% from 2011 to 2012. In addition, we remain optimistic about several higher margin air filtration markets which we are just beginning to penetrate including filtration for the swine industry and electronic kiosks. In the long-term, based upon the execution of these growth initiatives, our expectations remain to grow the top-line from 6% to 10% on an annual basis. As always, we intend to continue to advance our deeply engrained culture of cost containment and continuous improvement in support of this profitable growth.”

CLARCOR INC. 2012 UNAUDITED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS, continued
RECONCILIATION OF SELECTED GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Dollars in thousands)



In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the Company provides non-GAAP net sales (including certain geographic and market-based measures of non-GAAP net sales), non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for our 2011 fiscal year and 2011 fourth quarter which exclude the impact of having an additional week in our 2011 fiscal year and 2011 fourth quarter in comparison to our 2012 fiscal year and 2012 fourth quarter. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP net sales, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are net sales, operating profit, net earnings and diluted earnings per share, respectively.

The fiscal 2011 non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release exclude the impact of having an additional week in our 2011 fourth quarter and fiscal year. Although the comparison of fiscal year data excluding the additional week in our 2011 fiscal year and 2011 fourth quarter is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the Company's historical and prospective operating performance. Management believes that removing the impact of the additional week in the 2011 fiscal year and 2011 fourth quarter provides a more comparable measure of the changes in net sales, operating profit, net earnings and diluted earnings per share in 2012 compared to 2011 and in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, as applicable.

The additional week amounts shown are estimates based on the number of weeks in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 and do not consider certain factors or allocations that may occur only on a quarterly and annual basis. The estimated amounts are based on the average week for the actual 2011 fourth quarter rather than the specific last week of the 2011 fourth quarter. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and management does not intend these measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Following are reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures of these non-GAAP financial measures.
