HVAC

Revenue for Q4 2020 was $185.3 million, compared with $193.8 million in Q4 2019, a decrease of 4.4%. This included a decrease on organic revenue* of 7.9% due to a decrease in sales of cooling and heating products, a 3.0% increase from the acquisition of Patterson-Kelley and a 0.5% favorable impact related to currency fluctuation.

Segment income in Q4 2020 was $33.9 million, compared to $38.1 million in Q4 2019. Adjusted segment income*, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $0.7 million and one-time acquisition costs of $0.5 million, was $35.1 million, or 18.9% of revenue. This compares with adjusted segment income* of $39.2 million, or 20.2% of revenue in Q4 2019, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $1.1 million. The decrease in adjusted segment income* and 130 basis point decrease in adjusted segment income margin* were due to the lower revenue noted above, as well as a less favorable mix of cooling product sales.

Full-year 2020 revenue decreased to $590.7 million from $593.2 million in 2019, a decrease of 0.4%. The decrease was due to lower organic sales of heating products, partially offset by the benefit of the Patterson-Kelley acquisition, and, to a lesser extent, higher organic sales of cooling products.

Full-year 2020 segment income was $93.4 million, compared to $95.4 million in 2019. Adjusted segment income*, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $2.9 million and one-time acquisition related costs of $0.6 million, was $96.9 million, or 16.4% of revenue. This compares with adjusted segment income* of $96.8 million in 2019, or 16.3% of revenue, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $1.4 million. The income from the Patterson-Kelly acquisition offset a decline in income associated with lower organic sales.

Detection & Measurement

Revenue in Q4 2020 was $118.1 million, compared with $100.5 million in Q4 2019, an increase of 17.5%, including a 13.9% increase from the acquisitions of ULC Robotics and Sensors & Software, a 1.0% favorable currency impact, and an organic revenue increase of 2.6%. The organic increase was due to higher sales of location & inspection and fare collection products, partially offset by lower sales of communication technologies products.

Segment income in Q4 2020 was $20.7 million, compared to $22.5 million in Q4 2019. Adjusted segment income*, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $5.0 million and one-time acquisition related costs of $0.7 million, was $26.4 million, or 22.4% of revenue. This compares with adjusted segment income* of $24.1 million, or 24.0% of revenue*, in Q4 2019, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $1.8 million and a favorable revision of acquisition related costs of $0.2 million. The increase in adjusted segment income* is due to the acquisitions noted above. The 160 basis point decrease in adjusted segment income margin* was driven primarily by lower project sales of high-margin communication technologies equipment.

Full-year 2020 revenue was $387.3 million, compared with $384.9 million in 2019, an increase of 0.6%. The increase in revenue was due to the impact of the acquisitions of ULC and Sensors & Software in 2020, partially offset by lower sales of communication technologies equipment.

Full-year 2020 segment income was $69.1 million, compared to $81.7 million in 2019. Adjusted segment income*, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $11.1 million and one-time acquisition related costs of $0.7 million, was $80.9 million, or 20.9% of revenue. This compares with adjusted segment income* of $91.2 million in 2019, or 23.7% of revenue, which excludes intangible amortization expense of $7.5 million and one-time acquisition related costs of $2.0 million. The decrease in adjusted segment income* and margin was due primarily to the lower project sales of high-margin communication technologies equipment noted above.

Engineered Solutions

Revenue in Q4 2020 was $152.7 million, compared with $150.8 million in Q4 2019, an increase of 1.3%, driven by higher sales of transformers and process cooling products.

Segment income in Q4 2020 was $15.8 million, or 10.3% of revenue, compared with segment income of $16.1 million, or 10.7% of revenue in Q4 2019. The 40 basis points decrease in segment income margin was due to a less profitable sales mix of process cooling products.

Full-year 2020 revenue was $577.5 million, compared with $548.9 million in 2019, an increase of 5.2%, driven by higher sales of transformers and process cooling products.

Full-year 2020 segment income was $60.5 million, or 10.5% of revenue, compared to segment income of $43.0 million, or 7.8% of revenue, in 2019. The increase in segment income and margin was primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above.    

Other

Other, which includes the South African operations, had revenue of $0.7 million in Q4 2020, compared with $(1.7) million in Q4 2019, which included adjustments that reduced revenue associated with the South African projects.

Other incurred a loss in Q4 2020 of $(5.3) million, compared with a loss of $(7.2) million in Q4 2019. The decrease in the loss was due primarily to the winding down of operations associated with the projects in South Africa.   

Full-year 2020 revenue was $4.0 million compared with ($6.1) million in 2019. Revenue for 2019 included adjustments that reduced revenue associated with the South African projects.   

Other incurred a loss of $(19.3) million in 2020, compared with a loss of $(43.6) million in 2019. The decrease in the loss is due primarily to the prior year adjustments in revenue noted above associated with the projects in South Africa.

Financial Update:

As of December 31, 2020, SPX had total outstanding debt of $412.4 million and total cash of $68.3 million. During the full-year 2020, SPX generated net operating cash from continuing operations of $131.1 million. Capital expenditures for continuing operations for the full-year 2020 were $21.5 million. Net leverage, as calculated under the company’s bank credit agreement was 1.65x, compared with 1.85x at the end of Q3 2020.

2021 Guidance:

SPX is targeting 2021 adjusted consolidated revenue* of approximately $1.6 billion, an adjusted operating income margin* of approximately 12%, and adjusted earnings per share* in a range of $3.00 to $3.20.

        Segment and company performance, on a year-over-year basis, is expected to be as follows:

Non-GAAP Presentation: To provide additional clarity to its operating results, the company discusses results that include “adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted results for the company exclude, among other items, the effect of the South African operations, categorized as “Other” in the company’s segment reporting structure. The company reports separately on the results of the “Other” category. The company anticipates reporting the results of the business included in the “Other” category as discontinued operations, at such time as they meet the accounting requirements for this treatment.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the company began reporting the Heat Transfer business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Previously Heat Transfer was reported as a part of “Other,” along with the South African operations.

Form 10-K: The company expects to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before March 2, 2021. This press release should be read in conjunction with that filing, which will be available on the company's website at www.spx.com, in the Investor Relations section.
