*This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Descriptions of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with this earnings release.



Solutions, and Power Transmission Solutions. The Company has recast previously reported segment financial information on a basis consistent with these segments. For details on the 2018 and 2019 recast results reflecting the realigned segments, please see the tables in the appendix. A description of the Company’s four segments can be found in the Company’s Form 8-K dated February 3, 2020.

“While the market conditions continue to be challenging, our ability to remove cost and delever at a relatively low rate for three consecutive quarters further illustrates the margin potential of the company. The Climate and PTS businesses were both able to achieve notable operating profit growth despite sizable sales headwinds. With our announced re-segmentation, our Commercial and Industrial businesses will have improved transparency, renewed focus, and clear accountability. We have new leadership in approximately half of our top 25 business unit management roles, which in addition to our tenured talent, is driving fresh ideas and a spotlight on performance. Lastly, Regal delivered another quarter of excellent free cash flow. I am very proud of our teams’ efforts,” said Regal CEO Louis Pinkham.

Fourth quarter 2019 segment results versus the prior year fourth quarter:

Commercial Systems segment net sales were $202.0 million, a decrease of 26.1%. Businesses divested/to be exited had a negative 15.1% impact, and foreign currency had a negative 0.6% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 10.4% driven by continued inventory de-stocking in the North American pool pump market, weakness in North American general industry, and the impact of 80/20 account pruning. Operating margin was 3.9%. After net adjustments of $7.2 million, adjusted operating margin was 7.5% of adjusted net sales. Adjusted income from operations delevered at 28.7% from prior year.

Industrial Systems segment net sales were $138.0 million, a decrease of 15.6%. Businesses divested/to be exited had a negative 0.7% impact, and foreign currency had a negative 0.7% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 14.2% driven by continued power generation project delays due to end market overcapacity and the oil & gas downturn, weak North American and China industrial demand due to trade uncertainty, and the impact of 80/20 account pruning. Operating margin was negative 1.0%. After net adjustments of $3.0 million, adjusted operating margin was 1.2% of adjusted net sales. Adjusted income from operations delevered at 18.3% from prior year.

Climate Solutions segment net sales were $206.4 million, a decrease of 11.1%. The businesses divested/to be exited had a negative 4.4% impact, and foreign currency had a negative 0.2% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 6.5% driven by a mild start to the winter in North America, the impact from the FER pre-buy in residential HVAC in the first half of the year, inventory reductions by HVAC OEMs and 80/20 account pruning efforts, which were partially offset by improving demand in Asia Pacific. Operating margin was 17.3%. After net adjustments of $0.4 million, adjusted operating margin was 17.1% of adjusted net sales. Adjusted income from operations grew despite the 6.5% organic sales decline in the quarter.

Power Transmission Solutions segment net sales were $191.8 million, a decrease of 9.9%. The businesses divested/to be exited had a negative 2.3% impact, and foreign currency had a negative 0.4% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 7.2% driven by a significant slowdown in upstream and midstream oil & gas, continued weakness in the industrial distribution channel, and 80/20 account pruning efforts, which were partially offset by strong demand in renewable energy. Operating margin was 10.2%. After net adjustments of $6.0 million, adjusted operating margin was 13.3% of adjusted net sales. Adjusted income from operations grew despite the 7.2% organic sales decline in the quarter.

2020 Outlook

“We are providing adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of $5.65 to $6.05, an increase of approximately 7% at the midpoint from 2019. We expect markets to continue to be challenged in the first half of the year but believe the second half should see a recovery,” continued Mr. Pinkham.

He concluded, “We are energized about our re-segmentation, executing 80/20, and driving improvement in profitability, while staying laser focused on exceeding customer needs with differentiated products, solutions, and



services. I look forward to sharing more about our strategy to drive further shareholder creation at our Investor Day on March 3rd in New York City.”

The Company forecasts 2020 GAAP diluted earnings per share of $5.35 to $5.75. The difference between the GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance and the adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance relates to expected restructuring and related costs of $0.28 per share, gain on businesses divested and assets to be exited of $0.01 per share, and executive transition costs of $0.03 per share.

For details related to all 2018 and 2019 divestitures, please see the tables in the appendix. In these tables, net sales and adjusted income from operations are provided for each segment by quarter and for the full year for ongoing business comparison purposes.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of their respective dates, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.




NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER DEFINITIONS
Unaudited
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data)


We prepare financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered “non-GAAP” financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In this earnings release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these measures in the tables below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: adjusted diluted earnings per share (both historical and projected), adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales, net debt, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating leverage, adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, net sales from ongoing business, adjusted income from operations of ongoing business, ongoing business adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share for ongoing business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our results of operations and for helping investors understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods and compared to our peers. Our management primarily uses adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted operating leverage to help us manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, while adjusted diluted earnings per share, net debt, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net sales, adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, net sales from ongoing business, adjusted income from operations of ongoing business, ongoing business adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share for ongoing business are primarily used to help us evaluate our business and forecast our future results. Accordingly, we believe disclosing and reconciling each of these measures helps investors evaluate our business in the same manner as management.

In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we also use the term “organic sales” to refer to GAAP sales from existing operations excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition (“net sales from business acquired") and excluding any sales from business divested/to be exited (“net sales from business divested/to be exited“) recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period’s organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods. We use the term “organic sales growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. For further clarification, we may use the term “acquisition growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to acquisition sales.
