DALLAS, February 2, 2015 – Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2014 results. Financial results in prior periods have been revised to reflect sold businesses in discontinued operations.

For the fourth quarter, revenue was $813 million, up 8% from the prior-year quarter. At constant currency, revenue was up 10%. Total segment profit margin was a fourth-quarter record 9.4%, up 120 basis points from the prior-year quarter. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis was a fourth-quarter record $1.02, up 32% from $0.77 in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was a fourth-quarter record $1.00, up 47% from $0.68 in the prior-year quarter.

For the full year, revenue was $3.4 billion, up 5% from the prior year. At constant currency, revenue was up 6%. Total segment profit margin was a record 10.1%, up 70 basis points from the prior year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis was a record $4.38, up 18% from $3.70 in the prior year. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was a record $4.28, up 21% from $3.55 in the prior year.

“2014 was a year of strong growth and record profitability for Lennox International, led by 10% revenue growth at constant currency and 31% profit growth in our Residential business,” said Chairman and CEO Todd Bluedorn. “In the fourth quarter, the company’s momentum continued, with revenue up 10% at constant currency and total segment profit up 24%. Growth in the quarter continued to be led by Residential, with revenue up 14% at constant currency and profit up 57% from the prior-year quarter. In Commercial, revenue rose 8% at constant currency. Commercial profit was essentially flat with the prior-year quarter on headwinds from customer mix, foreign exchange, and investments related to our entrance in the VRF market. In Refrigeration, revenue was up 8% at constant currency. As expected, Refrigeration profit was down from the prior-year quarter by 45% due to the repeal of the carbon tax in Australia, North America product mix, and a negative impact from foreign exchange. We continue to expect Refrigeration revenue, margin and profit to be up in 2015 on continued growth in North America and improvement in Australia in the second half of the year. For the company overall in 2015, we expect another strong year of growth and record profitability, with strong cash generation for investments to drive growth as well as to return cash to shareholders.”

Gross Profit: Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $225 million, up 9% from $208 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 27.7%, flat with the fourth quarter a year ago.
