DALLAS, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII), a leader in energy-efficient climate-control solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022. All comparisons are to the prior-year period.

Lennox International reported record revenue of $1.37 billion in the second quarter, up 10%. At constant currency, revenue was up 11%. GAAP operating income was a record $227 million, up 5%. GAAP earnings per share was a record $4.96, up 10%.

Total segment profit rose 4% to a record $230 million. Total segment margin was 16.8%, down 110 basis points. Adjusted earnings per share rose 9% to a record $5.00.

"Lennox International posted new highs for revenue, profit and EPS, led by strong growth in our Residential and Refrigeration businesses as price continued to offset material inflation," said CEO Alok Maskara. "In Commercial, we are encouraged by the sequential improvement in quarterly margins even though our ability to satisfy strong demand remained constrained by supply chain shortfall and factory inefficiencies."

In Residential, revenue and profit set new highs. Residential revenue was up 17%, led by double-digit growth in both replacement and new construction sales. Segment profit rose 14%. Segment margin was 22.1%, down 50 basis points. Refrigeration set new records for second-quarter revenue and profit. Refrigeration revenue was up 14% as reported and up 20% at constant currency, led by more than 30% growth in North America. Refrigeration profit rose 73%, and segment margin expanded 470 basis points to 13.8%. Commercial revenue was down 13%, profit was down 62%, and segment margin contracted 1,010 basis points to 7.8%.

Maskara added, "Looking ahead for the company overall, the macroeconomic environment is challenging, but customer demand remains strong. Residential and Refrigeration businesses are performing well and capitalizing on growth opportunities while Commercial segment performance is improving. We are adjusting 2022 revenue growth guidance from 7-11% to 10-15%. We are also raising the low end of EPS guidance from $13.50-$14.50 to a range of $13.80-$14.50. And we reiterate plans for $400 million of total stock repurchases for the full year." 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue: Revenue was a record $1.37 billion, up 10%. Volume was flat, price was up and mix was down. Foreign exchange had a 1% negative impact on revenue.

Gross Profit: Gross profit was $397 million, up 4%. Gross margin was 29.1%, down 180 basis points, impacted by inflationary pressures, factory inefficiencies and global supply chain disruptions.
