FLIR Systems Announces
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter and Full Year EPS Growth of 155% and 14%, Respectively
Announces 10% Increase in Quarterly Dividend and New Share Repurchase Authorization
WILSONVILLE, OR, February 6, 2015 – FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014. Fourth quarter 2014 revenue was $434.4 million, up 9% compared to fourth quarter 2013 revenue of $400.3 million. Operating income in the fourth quarter was $87.4 million, compared to $37.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating income was negatively impacted by $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to pretax charges related to previously-announced restructuring initiatives and the settlement of executive retirement benefits. Fourth quarter 2014 net income was $72.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with net income of $28.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the fourth quarter a year ago. Net income was negatively impacted by $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $21 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to after-tax restructuring and retirement benefits charges. Cash provided by operations in the fourth quarter was $62.8 million.
Revenue from the Surveillance segment was $150.1 million, an increase of 8% from the fourth quarter results last year. The Instruments segment contributed $103.5 million of revenue during the fourth quarter, up 2% from the prior year. The OEM & Emerging Markets segment had $58 million of revenue, an increase of 8% over the prior year. FLIR’s Security segment recorded revenue of $56.4 million in the fourth quarter, up 35% from the prior year. Revenue from the Maritime segment was $40.1 million, and was down 6% over the fourth quarter of 2013. The Detection segment contributed $26.2 million of revenue, an increase of 19% from the prior year.
For the full year, revenue was $1,530.7 million, up 2% compared to $1,496.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating income for 2014 was $259.2
million compared to $240.7 million in 2013. Net income for 2014 was $200.3 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared with 2013 net income of $177 million, or $1.22 per diluted share. Cash provided by operations was $226.2 million during the year.
FLIR's backlog of firm orders for delivery within the next twelve months was approximately $547 million as of December 31, 2014, a decrease of $32 million, or 6%, during the quarter and an increase of $57 million, or 12%, compared to the end of 2013.
"We are pleased with the results of the fourth quarter and full year 2014 as they further demonstrate the progress we have made in reaching our goal of becoming ‘the world’s sixth sense.’ During the year we introduced several new products that revolutionized our industry, opened up large consumer markets, and expanded the accessibility of our advanced sensor technologies to a much broader set of people. We were very successful in realigning our operations to better serve our existing and future customers while also reducing our operating costs. And we deployed our capital efficiently and broadly to best position us for growth and to best serve our shareholders,” said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. “Our innovation engine and initiatives for continuous improvement resulted in increased revenue and meaningful growth in profitability during 2014. There remains more to be accomplished and we look forward to executing our strategies for sustained long term growth.”
Revenue and Earnings Outlook for 2015
FLIR also announced today that it currently expects revenue in 2015 to be in the range of $1.55 billion to $1.6 billion and net earnings to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.70 per diluted share.
