GLENVIEW, Ill., January, 25 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) today reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2016 results.

“The fourth quarter closed out a year of record financial performance and strong execution by the ITW team. In 2016, we grew EPS 11%, improved operating margin by 110 basis points to an all-time high of 22.5% and increased after tax return on invested capital 170 basis points to a record 22.1%,” said E. Scott Santi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout 2016, we continued to invest in our businesses to sustain above-market organic growth, strengthened our highly differentiated business portfolio and returned more than $2.8 billion of surplus capital to shareholders. We continue to work hard to push our performance to best-in-class levels, and we are well-positioned to deliver continued progress and strong results in 2017.

Fourth-quarter GAAP earnings were $1.45 per share, an increase of 18% versus the fourth quarter of 2015. Foreign currency translation reduced EPS by 2% year-on-year. Revenue grew 4% year-on-year to $3.4 billion. Organic revenue increased 2% while the 2016 acquisition of Engineered Fasteners & Components (EF&C) added 4% to revenue. Foreign currency translation reduced revenue by 2% year-on-year and Product Line Simplification (PLS) reduced revenue by approximately 1%.

During the fourth quarter the company recorded a net EPS benefit of $0.06 per share, related to a dividend distribution from its investment in Wilsonart, which was partially offset by one-time charges related to two small divestitures. Excluding these non-recurring items, fourth quarter earnings were $1.39 per share, an increase of 13% versus the prior year.

Operating income was $742 million and operating margin for the quarter was 21.8%, an increase of 110 basis points year-on-year. Excluding the margin dilution from the 2016 acquisition of EF&C, operating margin was 22.2%, an increase of 150 basis points year-on-year with 130 basis points of margin expansion coming from Enterprise Initiatives. Fourth-quarter net income was $507 million and the company converted 117 percent of net income to free cash flow.

Organic revenue growth was positive in five of seven segments; 7% in Automotive OEM, 3% in Food Equipment and Construction Products, 2% in Polymers & Fluids, 1% in Specialty Products with Test & Measurement/Electronics flat and a decline of 8% in Welding.

Operating margin improved in all seven segments to 24.7% in Food Equipment, 24.4% in Welding, 24% in Specialty Products, 23% in Automotive OEM (25.2% excluding the margin dilution from EF&C), 21.4% in Construction Products, 20.1% in Test & Measurement/Electronics and 19% in Polymers & Fluids.

Full-year 2016 GAAP earnings were $5.70 per share, an increase of 11%. Total revenue increased 1% to $13.6 billion with organic growth of 1%. The acquisition of EF&C increased revenue 2%. Foreign currency translation reduced revenue by 2%.

Full-year operating margin was 22.5%, up 110 basis points versus 2015, or up 140 basis points to 22.8% excluding the margin dilution impact from EF&C. ITW converted 100% of net income to free cash flow for the year and generated 22.1% after-tax return on invested capital. For the full year, ITW paid $821 million in dividends to shareholders and repurchased $2 billion of its own shares.






Full-Year and First Quarter 2017 Guidance
ITW is reaffirming its 2017 full-year performance expectations. The company expects 2017 earnings to be in the range of $6.00 to $6.20 per share with organic growth of 1.5 to 3.5%. ITW also expects operating margin to exceed 23.5% and free cash flow conversion to exceed 100% for the full-year.

The company expects first quarter 2017 earnings to be in the range of $1.39 to $1.49 per share with organic growth of 1 to 2%. The company expects operating margin to exceed 22.5%.
