Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

By press release dated February 25, 2009, the Company announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this form 8-K and the Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by special reference in such filing.

In the press release and accompanying supplemental information, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: free cash flow, EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted operating income. Management of the Company believes that free cash flow (defined as net cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and dividends paid) is an important measure of its liquidity as well as its ability to service long-term debt, fund future growth and to provide a return to shareholders. EBIT (defined as net income plus interest expense, net plus provision for income taxes), EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest expense, net plus provision for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization) and adjusted operating income (defined as operating income, excluding the impact of special and asbestos charges) are provided because management believes these measurements are useful for investors and financial institutions to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. Free cash flow, EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted operating income are not measurements for financial performance under GAAP and should not be construed as a substitute for cash flows, operating income, net income or earnings per share. Free cash flow, EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted operating income, as we have calculated here, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of free cash flow, EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted operating income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the supplemental information table titled “Reconciliation of Key Performance Measures to Commonly Used Generally Accepted Accounting Principle Terms” which is included as an attachment to the press release.

CIRCOR Reports Fourth Quarter Results

 

   

16% Year-Over-Year Sales Growth in Fourth Quarter and 19% Increase for Full Year 2008

 

   

Company Records Non-Cash Goodwill and Intangible Impairment Charges of $141.3 Million

Reports Significant Increases in Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Periods

Burlington, MA – February 25, 2009 – CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of valves and other highly engineered products for the instrumentation, aerospace, thermal fluid and energy markets, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008.

Comments on the Fourth Quarter and Full Year

Commenting on the Company’s performance, President and CEO Bill Higgins stated, “Circor delivered another quarter of strong operating performance as we completed a year of record financial results, including 19 percent revenue growth and a 370 basis point increase in adjusted operating margin, which is operating margins before special and asbestos charges. Many of our businesses experienced organic sales growth and excellent bottom-line performance for the quarter and the full year that was the direct result of robust markets and our continuous and aggressive efforts to improve Circor’s team, processes, and performance to customers. We exited 2008 with a strong balance sheet with 4 percent total debt to equity and $82.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.”

Consolidated Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $202.0 million, an increase of $27.5 million from $174.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company recorded a net loss of $110.1 million, or $6.52 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with net income of $10.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the corresponding quarter of 2007. Fourth-quarter 2008 net income includes a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $141.3 million recorded as a special charge. On an adjusted basis, net income, excluding the after-tax impact of special charges, for the fourth quarter of 2008 would have been $19.0 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $9.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007.

The non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 was required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 primarily as a result of recent macroeconomic factors impacting global credit markets as well as slower industry business conditions. The goodwill impairment represented 81 percent of the


Company’s total goodwill and was within the Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls segment. Goodwill and intangibles related to the Energy segment were not found to be impaired. These fourth-quarter impairment charges do not require any cash payments or impact Circor’s operations, liquidity or compliance with debt covenants.

Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2008 increased 19 percent to $793.8 million, compared with $665.7 million for full year 2007. In full year 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $59.0 million, or $3.51 per share, compared to net income of $37.9 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in 2007. Full year 2008 results include pre-tax special charges of $141.5 million, including the non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $141.3 million and $0.2 million related to executive retirements. Full-year 2007 net income included $2.5 million of special charges. On an adjusted basis, excluding the after tax impact of the above-mentioned special charges, diluted earnings per share would have been $4.13 for full year 2008 compared with diluted earnings per share of $2.37 for full year 2007.

The Company received orders totaling $143.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2008, down 16 percent year-over-year and 13 percent sequentially from the third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year and sequential reduction in activity reflects softening market conditions as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown, primarily in the energy, HVAC and process markets. Orders for full year 2008 totaled $742.3 million and backlog totaled $342.7 million, compared with $771.7 million and $391.6 million, respectively, in 2007.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company generated $23.2 million of free cash flow, defined as net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures and dividends paid. For full year 2008, the Company had free cash flow of $47.3 million compared to $42.5 million in 2007. The improvement from 2007 largely resulted from the increase in profitability of operations, excluding the non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge, partially offset by an increase in working capital needs and higher capital spending.

Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls Products

Revenues for Circor’s Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls Products segment increased by 3 percent to $94.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $91.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Organic growth of 9 percent and growth through acquisitions of 1 percent were partially offset by adverse foreign currency adjustments of 7 percent primarily as a result of the U.S. dollar appreciating against the Euro during the quarter. Incoming orders for this segment were $94.7 million for the fourth quarter 2008, an increase of 2 percent from $93.1 million in the fourth quarter 2007.

Circor’s Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls Products segment adjusted operating margin, which excludes the impact of special and asbestos charges, for the fourth quarter of 2008 was 11.2 percent compared with 12.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was a result of inflation on materials and wages, acquisition costs, facility consolidation costs and inventory write-offs, and was partially offset by favorable volume, price and productivity.


Energy Products

Circor’s Energy Products segment revenues increased by 29 percent to $107.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, from $83.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Fourth-quarter revenues benefited from strong organic sales across the segment, growing 34 percent year-over year, partially offset by adverse foreign currency adjustments of 5 percent.

The Energy Products segment adjusted operating margin, which excludes the impact of special charges, was 20.1 percent during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to 15.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007. Fourth quarter 2008 margins benefited from favorable project mix and strong sales volumes partially offset by material cost inflation and unfavorable currency effects as the Chinese RMB continued to appreciate versus the U.S. dollar.

Business and Financial Outlook

“We entered 2009 with the goal of emerging from the global recession stronger than our competitors,” said Higgins. “Even though we expect to face significant headwinds as a result of slowdowns in many end markets in both segments, we are well positioned for these challenging times. Our strong balance sheet, commitment to further enhancing our culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement and a diversified business portfolio should enable Circor to capture market opportunities and maintain a high quality of earnings in 2009.”

Circor is providing its outlook for the first quarter 2009. The Company currently expects revenues for the first quarter of 2009 in the range of $170 million to $176 million and earnings, excluding special charges, to be in the range of $0.56 to $0.68 per diluted share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted operating margin, and free cash flow, are non-GAAP financial measures and are intended to serve as a complement to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Circor believes that such information provides an additional measurement and consistent historical comparison of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in this news release.
