CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc. (NYSE:FLOW) a leading provider of process solutions, today reported results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

"I am proud of the courage, compassion and commitment demonstrated by our global team members in 2020.  Despite the many personal and operational challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our people focused their efforts on creating a better customer experience, improving our culture of belonging and driving profitable growth in our key products and services.  This organizational resiliency is evident in our financial results; gross margin expansion, working capital improvement, and delivering sequential growth in the second half of the year. In addition, our strong balance sheet positions us well to pursue high-quality investments both organically and through acquisitions," said Marc Michael, SPX FLOW President and CEO.

"As we turn the page to 2021, end markets are showing signs of recovery, but the full year economic outlook remains uncertain. We remain focused on those items under our control; investing in our products and operations, delivering a great customer experience, and building a culture of productivity and high performance. The deployment of 80/20 into the organization provided a foundation that is already simplifying how we do business and allowing us to identify areas of emphasis for profitable growth and address inefficiencies. We expect that our productivity initiatives will  reduce our overall cost of doing business, including a plan to achieve $25 million dollars of annualized SG&A cost savings in 2022 while simultaneously realigning our cost structure to support growth. I want to thank our team members, customers and suppliers for their support and commitment throughout 2020 and express our excitement about working with our customers to provide the expertise and solutions they need to keep their businesses running," concluded Michael.

Note: The commentary below is compared to the prior year period. All comments refer to organic changes with respect to continuing operations unless otherwise noted which exclude the effects of currency fluctuations.

• Backlog increased 0.3%, or $1.7 million, as modest growth in industrial backlog was partially offset by modest declines in Food & Beverage backlog as backlog on an organic basis was relatively consistent in both segments.
• Orders declined (4.6)% organically, or $18.2 million, driven by a (5.4)% decline in Food and Beverage segment orders, and a (3.8)% decline in the Industrial segment. From a geographic perspective, gains in North America and Middle East/Africa were more than offset by declines in Europe and China primarily associated with systems projects.
• Revenues increased 5.3%, or $19.2 million with both reporting segments reporting organic revenue growth above 5%.
• Segment income was $48.1 million, down (10.1)%, and margin contracted by -260 basis points to 12.1%. The decline in segment income was primarily due to a decline in Food & Beverage segment profitability from a higher mix of systems revenue and a difficult comparison to the prior-year period which included positive contributions from several large project close outs. Additionally, incentive compensation was higher due to the strong operational results in the second half of 2020.
• Operating income was $26.5 million, or 6.7% of revenues. After excluding discrete, non-operational and non-cash items and reclassifying transitional services income, adjusted operating income* was $39.9 million, or 10.0% of revenues, down -180 basis points year-over-year on a comparable basis.
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.47.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share* from continuous operations as outlined in the reconciliation table below were $0.56.
• Free cash flow* generated across all operations was $80.2 million, including investments of $5.1 million on capital expenditures and $3.8 million on restructuring actions.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results by Segment:

Food and Beverage

$ millions	Q4 2020				Q4 2019				Variance			Organic Variance
Backlog	$	291.6			$	275.3			5.9	%		(0.1)	%

Note: The commentary below is compared to the prior year period. All comments refer to organic changes with respect to continuing operations unless otherwise noted which exclude the effects of currency fluctuations.

• Backlog decreased (0.1)% or $(0.3) million, as an increase in components orders was offset by a decrease in systems orders.
• Orders decreased (5.4)%, as increased components orders were more than offset by decreased systems orders. Geographically, components orders were relatively strong across most geographies while the decline in systems orders was concentrated in Europe.
• Revenues increased 5.0% primarily driven increased execution on systems projects and stable component revenues, which were partially offset by a low single digit decline in service revenues.
• Segment income was $25.5 million, down (17.5)% versus the prior year and margin contracted by -430 basis points to 13.6% reflecting a higher mix of systems revenues, a difficult year-over-year comparison relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 which included a higher level of favorable project closeouts and increased incentive compensation expense.

Backlog	$	254.2			$	243.9			4.2	%		0.8	%
Orders	193.7				194.2				(0.3)	%		(3.8)	%

Income	22.6				22.6				—	%
As a percent of revenues	10.8		%		11.8		%		-100bps

Note: The commentary below is compared to the prior year period. All comments refer to organic changes with respect to continuing operations unless otherwise noted which exclude the effects of currency fluctuations.

• Backlog increased 0.8% Primarily driven by increased second half orders for OE mixer projects which were partially offset by a decline in OE heat exchanger orders from the second half of 2019 due in part to selectivity aligned with 80/20 principles.
• Orders declined (3.8)% as strength in North America was more than offset by declines in all other regions. Selectivity on project orders aligned with 80/20 principles was also a driver of lower orders year-over-year.
• Revenues increased 5.7% primarily driven strong project oriented revenue, which was partially offset by reduced short-cycle revenue.
• Segment income was flat at $22.6 million, and segment margin was 10.8% of revenues, a contraction of -100 basis points. The lower level of profitability reflects the impact of the revenue mix described above and increased operating costs, which were partially offset by lower SG&A spend which included an increase to incentive compensation expense.

Note: The commentary below is compared to the prior year period. All comments refer to organic changes with respect to continuing operations unless otherwise noted which exclude the effects of currency fluctuations.

• Orders declined (7.1)% or $(104.1) million. This was primarily driven by a (15.7)% decline in food and beverage systems along with a (6.6)% decline within the Industrial segment due primarily to weakness in shorter cycle product categories attributable to economic conditions.
• Revenue declined (10.3)% reflecting similar trends among the segments with Industrial revenue down (10.5)% and Food and Beverage revenue down (10.1)% largely driven by the decrease in orders described above.
• Segment income and margin were $168.7 million and 12.5%, down (16.1)% and -80 basis points versus the prior year. Segment income declines were predominantly due to organic revenue declines described above, which were partially offset by reduced SG&A expense.
• Operating income and margin were $80.9 million and 6.0%, a decrease of (30.1)% and -170 basis points versus the prior year, driven primarily by the decrease in segment income noted above. After excluding discrete, non-operational and non-cash items and reclassifying transitional services income, adjusted operating income* was $123.5 million, or 9.1% of revenues, down 140 points year-over-year on a comparable basis.
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.00.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuous operations as outlined in the reconciliation table below were $1.47.
• Free cash flow* generated across all operations was $80.7 million, including investments of $27.9 million on capital expenditures and $11.3 million on restructuring actions.
