What management said

  • Yesterday, Graco reported third-quarter sales of $543 million, an increase of 5% from the same quarter last year.
  • Excluding acquisitions, which contributed 6% growth, and currency translation, which contributed another 1% growth, organic sales declined 2% in the quarter.
  • Reported net earnings increased 13% to $138 million or $0.82 per diluted share.
  • During the quarter, we recognized a $14 million non-cash gain from a reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration related to last year's acquisition of Corab.
  • Excluding the impact of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises and this contingent consideration fair value gain, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings was $0.73 per diluted share, an increase of 3%.
  • The gross margin rate was flat compared to the same quarter last year.
  • Tariffs affected product costs by $5 million in the quarter, resulting in a 100 basis point decline in the gross margin rate.
  • Operating earnings as a percent of sales was 28% for the quarter and consistent with the same period last year.
  • The adjusted effective tax rate was 20%, which is consistent with our expected full-year tax rate of 19.5%-20.5% on an as-adjusted basis.
  • Cash provided by operations totaled $487 million for the year, an increase of $51 million or 12%.
  • Improved inventory management from consolidating operations under One Graco and lower sales and earnings-based incentive payments drove the increase.
