KENOSHA, Wis., Oct 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SNA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- --Financial Services transition on track;

--Continued strong operating cash flow outpaces earnings;

--Ongoing investment in strategic initiatives and product innovation

Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE: SNA), a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of tools, diagnostics, equipment, software and service solutions for professional users, today announced operating results for the third quarter of 2009.

-- Sales of $581.8 million declined 16.6% compared to a year ago; foreign currency translation contributed 3.0 percentage points of the sales decline.

-- Gross profit of $260.5 million represented 44.8% of sales compared to 44.7% a year ago, with Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) offsetting the impact of lower production volume and capacity carrying costs.

-- Operating earnings of $48.7 million include $4.7 million of restructuring costs and a loss of $5.3 million from Financial Services due to the July 16, 2009 termination of the financial services joint venture with The CIT Group, Inc. A year ago, operating earnings of $86.4 million included $1.4 million of restructuring costs and $4.8 million of income from Financial Services.

-- Cash flow from operations of $80.1 million increased from $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to improved working capital management, principally as a result of an increased emphasis on inventory reduction.

-- Net earnings of $25.4 million declined $29.2 million from a year ago. The 2009 loss from Financial Services, when compared to the income earned in 2009, contributed $7.4 million of this decline. Higher after-tax interest expense and restructuring costs contributed another $6.4 million of the year-over-year net earnings decline.

"Snap-on's third quarter performance showed some encouraging progress despite the continuing economic headwinds, which were particularly evident in Europe," said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman, president and CEO. "Both the Commercial & Industrial and the Snap-on Tools Groups achieved sequential improvement, overcoming the usual seasonal declines and providing strong testimony to the power of Snap-on's Value Creation processes. Besides the near-term progress in the quarter, the corporation also continued investing in important strategic areas such as the emerging market of China where, in September, we opened Snap-on's new tool storage facility located in our Kunshan manufacturing complex. In addition, our ongoing efforts in connecting with customers and translating that insight into winning innovation, earned Snap-on, in the third quarter, three more Top 20 Tools Awards from MOTOR Magazine."

"We simply cannot predict the timing or shape of an economic recovery," said Pinchuk. "During this challenging period, however, Snap-on is aiming to balance its RCI and other value creation initiatives with those growth investments that will be decisive as we move forward. In that approach, we believe we are making quarter by quarter financial and strategic progress and will emerge from this turbulence in a stronger position. Finally, the third quarter, once again, demonstrated the extraordinary capability of our franchisees and associates worldwide. I thank them for their dedication to our team and their contributions to our progress."

Commercial & Industrial Group operating earnings in the third quarter improved $10.8 million sequentially over second quarter 2009 levels on $9.0 million of higher sales.

Segment sales of $265.4 million in the quarter declined $72.7 million, or 21.5%, from 2008 levels due to the global economic downturn. Excluding $14.4 million of unfavorable currency translation, organic sales declined 17.2%.

Operating earnings of $10.9 million in the quarter declined $29.8 million from 2008 levels, with the majority of the decline resulting from continued lower sales as well as the effects of costs to carry manufacturing capacity in light of lower demand and inventory reduction efforts, primarily in Europe. Operating earnings in the quarter were also adversely impacted by $4.5 million of restructuring costs primarily to improve the segment's cost structure in Europe.

Snap-on Tools Group operating earnings in the third quarter improved sequentially $2.6 million, or 9.3%, over second quarter 2009 levels on $11.7 million of seasonally lower sales.

Segment sales of $246.6 million in the quarter declined $22.9 million, or 8.5%, from 2008 levels. Excluding $3.9 million of unfavorable currency translation, organic sales declined 7.1%.

Operating earnings of $30.6 million, or 12.4% of sales, in the quarter, improved from $28.2 million, or 10.5% of sales, last year. The increase in year-over-year operating earnings was primarily driven by contributions from ongoing efficiency and productivity (collectively, "Rapid Continuous Improvement" or "RCI") initiatives and other cost reduction efforts of $13.4 million, and higher LIFO-related inventory benefits as a result of inventory reductions. These operating earnings improvements were partially offset by the impacts of lower sales and unfavorable currency movements. The stronger U.S. dollar decreased international margins on U.S. sourced products by $5.1 million and currency translation further reduced operating earnings by $0.4 million.

Diagnostics & Information Group operating earnings in the third quarter declined $2.0 million from second quarter 2009 levels on a $5.0 million sales decline.

Segment sales of $132.0 million in the quarter decreased $23.1 million, or 14.9%, from 2008 levels; excluding $3.6 million of unfavorable currency translation, organic sales declined 12.6%. The year-over-year organic sales decline is primarily due to lower essential tool and facilitation program sales to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) dealerships, partially offset by increased sales of diagnostics and software products.

Operating earnings of $32.0 million, or 24.2% of sales, in the quarter, improved from $27.2 million, or 17.5% of sales, last year primarily due to a more favorable sales mix of higher-margin diagnostics and software products and contributions from RCI and other cost containment initiatives.

Financial Services revenues of $6.0 million in the quarter decreased $12.0 million from 2008 levels. As previously communicated, on July 16, 2009, Snap-on terminated its financial services operating agreement with The CIT Group, Inc. (CIT) relating to the parties' U.S. Snap-on Credit LLC (SOC) joint venture. As a result, Snap-on has been providing financing for new SOC contract originations since July 16th and the new financing receivables are included on the company's balance sheet. Snap-on records the interest yield on the new receivable portfolio over the life of the contracts as financial services revenue; previously, Snap-on sold new contract originations to CIT and recorded gains on the sale of the contracts as financial services revenue.

The change from recognizing gains on contract sales to recognizing the interest yield on the on-balance-sheet finance portfolio resulted in an expected third quarter operating loss of $5.3 million, as compared to operating income of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. On a sequential basis, operating earnings in the third quarter declined $21.9 million from second quarter 2009 levels. Snap-on expects that operating income from financial services, which is before interest expense, will improve as the on-book finance portfolio grows.

Corporate expenses of $19.5 million in the quarter increased $5.0 million from prior-year levels due primarily to higher pension expense.

Outlook

The difficulties posed by the global economy continued in the third quarter of 2009, further challenging Snap-on's sales.

Snap-on is continuously responding to the global macroeconomic challenges by furthering its RCI and cost reduction initiatives. In the first nine months of 2009, Snap-on incurred $15.3 million of restructuring costs and presently anticipates that full-year 2009 restructuring costs will be in a range of $20 million to $22 million. Snap-on is also continuing with its planned growth investments in China and Eastern Europe. Snap-on continues to expect that full-year capital expenditures will be in a range of $60 million to $70 million.

On July 16, 2009, Snap-on terminated the financial services operating agreement that it had with CIT relating to the parties' SOC joint venture. SOC continues to service the pre-termination portfolio of contracts owned by CIT and, since July 16, 2009, Snap-on is providing financing for new contracts originated by SOC. New contract originations by SOC are included on the company's balance sheet and SOC will record the interest yield on these receivables over the life of the contracts as financial services revenue; previously, SOC recorded gains on contracts sold to CIT as financial services revenue. As a result of this change in reporting financial services revenue, Snap-on anticipates that reported financial services revenue and operating income will, in the near term, decline compared to prior-year periods as the company builds its portfolio of on-book receivables. The company presently expects that operating income from financial services, which is before interest expense and which was a loss of $5.3 million in the third quarter, will be a loss of $3.0 million to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Snap-on estimates the incremental cash requirements for SOC will approximate $400 million over the next 12 months. Snap-on believes, based on current market conditions, that it has sufficient available cash on hand, cash flow from operating activities and available credit facilities, including access to public debt markets, to fund the financing needs of SOC.

Snap-on continues to expect approximately $3.0 million of higher year-over-year pension expense in the fourth quarter. For the first nine months of 2009, foreign currency effects reduced year-over-year operating earnings by $27.1 million, of which $5.8 million occurred in the third quarter. At current exchange rates, Snap-on expects a lessened impact on its fourth quarter year-over-year comparisons.

As a result of the above, Snap-on continues to expect that fourth quarter sales and earnings will be down year over year. The company anticipates that its fourth quarter effective income tax rate will approximate the year-to-date 2009 effective rate.

Snap-on is aggressively managing the balance between investing and capturing strategic growth opportunities with the need for cost reduction actions beyond those already implemented; presently, the current economic uncertainty makes it extremely difficult to predict this balance as the company continually adjusts to the challenging business environment.
