Gardner Denver, Inc. (NYSE: GDI) today announced fourth quarter results that established a quarterly record for DEPS, and full year results that established records for revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income and DEPS.
Gardner Denver's fourth quarter 2011 revenues of $613.7 million were up 16% over the $530.0 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $108.1 million, a 35% increase from $80.4 million recorded in the same period of 2010. Operating margin improved 240 basis points to 17.6% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 36% to a record $77.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, from the fourth quarter 2010 level of $57.1 million, or $1.08 per diluted share. Excluding profit improvement costs and other items from DEPS as reflected on the reconciliation schedule below, fourth quarter 2011 Adjusted DEPS were $1.54, a 34% increase over fourth quarter 2010.

"Gardner Denver had a solid fourth quarter to cap off a record year in 2011. Organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 15% was driven by continued strength in energy and our later cycle businesses in the Engineered Products Group ('EPG'). Operating margins expanded 240 basis points driven by higher revenue, our operational excellence initiatives and pricing in our energy business. The majority of our businesses continued to experience healthy order intake as we ended the year with a backlog of $670 million," said Barry L. Pennypacker, Gardner Denver's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"With the solid performance in the fourth quarter, we finished a record-setting 2011 with regards to revenue, operating income, operating margins, net income and DEPS," continued Mr. Pennypacker. "The strength we saw across our portfolio of businesses, particularly in energy, led to full year revenues of $2.371 billion, up 25% from 2010, of which 20% was organic growth. Additionally, operating margins increased to 16.9% for the total year of 2011, an increase of 360 basis points from 2010 and a reflection of the team's commitment to operational excellence, supported by the principles of the Gardner Denver Way.
"Cash flow provided by operating activities for the quarter was $88 million, an increase of 80% over last year. For the total year, cash provided by operating activities was $300 million, or 108% of net income. In 2011, we completed the acquisition of Robuschi for approximately $200 million, repurchased shares for $131 million and invested $56 million in capital equipment, with a focus on increasing capacity and enhancing operational efficiency. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation coupled with our disciplined capital allocation strategy should provide the flexibility to continue to make selective acquisitions and repurchase shares in 2012 if the appropriate opportunities become available.
"Looking forward, we expect our portfolio of businesses to grow in 2012, led by our higher margin, energy and later cycle EPG businesses and associated aftermarket services. We remain more cautious in our outlook for the Industrial Products Group ('IPG'), particularly in Europe, and we continue to actively work on profit improvement programs across IPG in an effort to expand margins in a slower growth environment. For the first quarter of 2012, we anticipate DEPS to be approximately $1.20 to $1.30, and we project our full-year 2012 DEPS to be in the range of $5.85 to $6.05. These projections include acquisition related and profit improvement costs totaling $0.10 per diluted share for the first quarter and $0.15 per diluted share for the total year. First quarter 2012 Adjusted DEPS are expected to be in a range of $1.30 to $1.40 and full year 2012 Adjusted DEPS are expected to be in a range of $6.00 to $6.20. Ultimately, our focus on operational excellence, investment in innovation, progress on aftermarket initiatives, expansion in emerging markets and track record of accretive acquisitions should enable us to perform well in 2012," stated Mr. Pennypacker.
Engineered Products Group (EPG)
EPG orders and revenues increased 27% and 29%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, reflecting continued, strong demand for drilling and well servicing pumps, aftermarket products and related services, infrastructure related products, and growth in emerging markets. Total year revenues for EPG finished at $1.115 billion, a 40% increase from 2010, of which 36% came from organic growth. Operating margin(2) for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 80 basis points to 24.5% as compared to 23.7% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Total year operating margin for 2011 increased 330 basis points to 23.3% as compared to 20.0% in 2010. The improvement in operating income for this segment was primarily attributable to incremental profit on revenue growth, favorable product mix and cost reductions.
Industrial Products Group (IPG)
Orders and revenues for IPG increased 4% and 6%, respectively, in the fourth quarter, compared to the same period of 2010, reflecting steady demand for OEM products and aftermarket parts and services. Total year revenues for IPG finished at $1.256 billion, a 14% increase from 2010, of which 10% came from organic growth. Operating margin(2) for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 250 basis points to 11.4% as compared to 8.9% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Total year operating margin for 2011 increased 270 basis points to 11.2% as compared to 8.5% in 2010.

(1) Adjusted Operating Income, on a consolidated and segment basis, and Adjusted DEPS are both financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliation to the comparable GAAP number for reported historic periods please see "Reconciliation of Operating Income and DEPS to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted DEPS" at the end of this press release. Gardner Denver believes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted DEPS provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results of operations. Gardner Denver believes excluding the specified items from operating income and DEPS provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance and is more useful in assessing management performance.
(2) Segment operating income (defined as income before interest expense, other income, net, and income taxes) and segment operating margin (defined as segment operating income divided by segment revenues) are indicative of short-term operational performance and ongoing profitability. For a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated operating income and consolidated income before income taxes, see "Business Segment Results" at the end of this press release.

While Gardner Denver, Inc. reports financial results in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), this press
release includes non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in
accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Gardner
Denver, Inc. believes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Operating
Income and Adjusted DEPS provide important supplemental information to both
management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in
assessing its results of operations. Gardner Denver believes excluding the
specified items from operating income and DEPS provides management a more
meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported periods and internal
budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is
consistent with financial models developed by investors and research
analysts, provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating
