New business gains, better pricing, product innovation and cost
efficiencies more than offset higher delivered product costs and
investments in the business, and along with a lower tax rate, yielded a
13% increase in second quarter 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share.
CEO comment
Commenting on the quarter, Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Ecolab’s chairman and
chief executive officer said, "Our business continues to improve. We
achieved another solid quarter, as strong sales actions and accelerated
pricing drove top line growth, delivering 5% acquisition adjusted fixed
currency growth. These attractive gains, along with cost efficiencies
and a reduced tax rate, more than offset continued rising delivered
product costs and yielded the 13% adjusted earnings per share growth.
"We expect these strong trends to continue in the second half, where we
anticipate fixed currency sales and margins to continue to strengthen
and deliver strong earnings per share growth. As our pricing and volumes
continue to accelerate, we expect to fully offset the higher delivered
product costs and unfavorable currency exchange that have developed
since our first quarter earnings report. This should drive margin
leverage versus last year, demonstrating the strength of our innovation
and the value our products and services create for our customers.
“In addition, following the last several years’ investments in
enterprise systems and technology platforms, we are undertaking a
program to deliver $200 million of SG&A savings by 2021. This program
leverages our more than $600 million investment in technology, and will
streamline our organization, reduce complexity and improve our business
processes to help drive our future growth and margin expansion. Internal
teams will work through the balance of this year to develop final plans
for our global business structure and resource improvement. This program
will give us another important set of tools in addition to pricing to
protect and expand margins in an environment where we expect cost
inflation to remain a headwind for the foreseeable future. These efforts
will be the primary focus of and source for our cost savings activities
over the next several years as we reallocate our resources to pursuing
them.
"We continue to expect strong results for the full year 2018 as we work
to deliver attractive sales and earnings per share growth across all
segments while also investing for better growth in our future. We have
enhanced our industry leadership positions, building on our product and
service strengths, to improve customer results. We are also rapidly
developing our digital platforms that will bring our customers new
insights and predictivity to their operations, as well as improve our
service levels for them. We are excited about our opportunities, both
over the near and long term, and are determined to continue delivering
superior shareholder value.”
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Beginning in 2018, Ecolab adopted the new FASB revenue recognition and
pension accounting standards. We reclassified certain costs, primarily
compensation, from selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses
to cost of sales (COS), to align with the costs of providing newly
classified service revenue upon adoption of the new revenue standard.
Adoption of the new revenue recognition standard reduced 2017 adjusted
diluted earnings per share by $0.01.
We also adopted the new pension accounting standard beginning in 2018,
recording the employee compensation cost of pension expense (the service
component) in COS and SG&A, while all other non-service components of
pension income are recorded below operating income in other
(income)/expense. We adopted the new standards retrospectively and
revised the 2016 and 2017 financial information to reflect the adoption
of the standards.
Second Quarter 2018 Consolidated Results
Ecolab's second quarter reported sales increased 7% and fixed currency
sales increased 4%. Acquisition and divestiture adjusted fixed currency
sales increased 5% when compared to the prior year.
Second quarter 2018 reported operating income increased 18%, fixed
currency operating income increased 15%, and adjusted and acquisition
adjusted fixed currency operating income both increased 3%. Pricing,
volume growth and cost savings initiatives more than offset the impact
of higher delivered product costs and investments in the business during
the quarter.
Other income, which primarily consists of the return on pension assets
and other costs of our pension obligations, increased 17% reflecting our
expected return on increased pension assets.
Reported net interest expense decreased in the quarter primarily
reflecting lower interest rate debt.
The reported income tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 was 22.8%
compared with the reported rate of 21.4% in the second quarter of 2017.
Excluding special gains and charges and discrete tax items, the adjusted
tax rate was 20.3% in the second quarter of 2018 compared with 24.2% for
the same period last year. The decrease in our adjusted tax rate was
primarily driven by changes in the U.S. tax law and global tax planning
strategies.
Second quarter 2018 reported net income attributable to Ecolab increased
19%. Excluding the impact of special gains and charges and discrete tax
items, adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab increased 13%.
Diluted earnings per share increased 20%. Adjusted diluted earnings per
share rose 13% when compared against second quarter 2017. Currency
translation had a $0.03 favorable impact on second quarter 2018 adjusted
diluted earnings per share.
Ecolab did not engage in open market repurchases of its common stock
during the second quarter of 2018.

Global Energy acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales increased 6%
reflecting strong growth in the well stimulation business and moderate
gains in production and downstream. Acquisition adjusted fixed currency
operating income increased 29% as higher delivered product costs were
more than offset by volume gains, pricing, a favorable product mix and a
relatively favorable comparison to the year ago period; underlying
operating income growth is trending in the mid-teens.

Other segment acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales increased 8% as
Pest Elimination enjoyed strong growth, led by North America.
Acquisition and divestiture adjusted fixed currency operating income
increased 17% as pricing and sales volume gains more than offset
increased field-related costs. The Equipment Care business was sold on
November 1, 2017.
Corporate
The corporate segment expense includes amortization expense of $43
million in the second quarter of 2018 and $43 million in the second
quarter of 2017 related to the Nalco merger intangible assets. Corporate
segment operating income also includes net special charges of $12
million ($9 million after tax) primarily related to restructuring
activities.
Special gains and charges for the second quarter of 2017 were a net
charge of $61 million ($46 million after tax).
Efficiency Initiative
Ecolab has undertaken a comprehensive plan to leverage its recent
technology and systems investments and organizational changes in order
to streamline operations, improve sales growth and increase operating
efficiency while delivering better customer outcomes.
Internal teams will work through the balance of this year to develop
final plans for global resource and business structure improvement, to
be implemented in 2019 and 2020. Our plans will leverage technology and
structural improvements to simplify and automate processes and tasks,
reduce complexity and management layers, consolidate facilities and
focus on key long-term growth areas, thereby creating a leaner, more
productive and more empowered business structure.
The efficiency initiative and other cost savings actions are expected to
be completed by the end of 2020 and are expected to result in
approximately $200 million of SG&A savings by 2021.
In connection with these actions, Ecolab expects to incur pre-tax
charges of $170 million ($130 million after tax) over the next 3 years,
beginning with $10 million of charges in the second quarter of 2018. The
charges are expected to be primarily related to team reorganizations and
some facility closures.
Business Outlook
2018
Ecolab continues to expect full year 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per
share in the $5.30 to $5.50 range, representing a 13% to 18% increase
over 2017.
When compared with our 2017 performance, we expect improved acquisition
adjusted fixed currency sales growth in all of our segments. Versus the
comparable measures last year, we anticipate slightly lower adjusted
gross margin as volume gains, pricing and cost efficiency actions nearly
offset higher delivered product costs (which are expected to show
somewhat moderating increases in the fourth quarter), with a lower SG&A
ratio to sales, higher other income, and lower interest expense and a
lower adjusted tax rate versus 2017 reflecting the impact of the
recently enacted U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and tax planning.
We expect special charges in 2018 to be $0.30 to $0.40 per share
principally related to the charges for the efficiency initiative, a
previously announced $25 million funding commitment to the Ecolab
Foundation, as well as integration of previously announced acquisitions.
In addition, the discrete tax item related to excess tax benefits on
share-based compensation is expected to be favorable. Other than this
discrete tax item and special gains and charges noted above, other such
amounts are not currently quantifiable.
At current rates of exchange, we expect foreign currency translation to
have an approximate $0.02 benefit to diluted earnings per share versus
the previously expected $0.10 benefit.
Our detailed outlook for the full year of 2018 (which reflects adoption
of the new accounting standards) is as follows:
|
Adjusted Gross Margin, excluding special gains and charges
|
|
|
41% to 42%

Reported 2017 diluted earnings per share of $5.12 included special gains
and charges and discrete tax items. Excluding these items, 2017 adjusted
diluted earnings per share were $4.68.
2018 — Third Quarter
Ecolab expects third quarter 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share in
the $1.49 to $1.57 range, rising 8% to 14% compared with adjusted
diluted earnings per share of $1.38 a year ago.
Versus the comparable measures last year, we expect year-on-year
acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales growth in all our segments.
Volume gains and higher pricing are expected to more than offset
significantly higher delivered product costs in the quarter (which are
expected to represent an approximate $0.15 per share year-on-year
negative cost impact on third quarter earnings, or about double their
impact on the second quarter results). We expect consolidated gross
margin and the SG&A ratio to sales to be similar to last year, higher
other income and an improved adjusted tax rate versus 2017 resulting
from the new U.S. tax law referenced above and tax planning.
We expect special charges in the third quarter of 2018 to be $0.10 to
$0.15 per share principally related to the aforementioned efficiency
initiative and integration of previously announced acquisitions. In
addition, the discrete tax item related to excess tax benefits on
share-based compensation is expected to be favorable. Other than this
discrete tax item and special gains and charges noted above, other such
expected amounts are not currently quantifiable.
At current rates of exchange, we expect foreign currency to be
unfavorable $0.01 per share in the third quarter.
Our detailed outlook for the third quarter of 2018 (which reflects
adoption of the new accounting standards) is as follows:
|

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This communication contains certain statements relating to future events
and our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future
which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such
as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is
anticipated,” “we believe,” “we expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,”
“will,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” (including the
negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in
connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events
generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our
financial and business performance and prospects, including forecasted
2018 third quarter and full-year financial and business results,
including sales growth, adjusted gross margin, SG&A ratios to sales,
interest expense, adjusted tax rate, noncontrolling interest, adjusted
diluted earnings per share and diluted shares outstanding, volume,
pricing, delivered product costs, global economic environment,
investments in digital technology and information technology systems,
foreign currency, special gains and charges and quantifiable discrete
tax items; actions and impact associated with adoption of new accounting
standards and timing, amount and type of restructuring or efficiency
initiative costs and savings from restructuring or efficiency initiative
activities. These statements are based on the current expectations of
management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements included in this communication. In
particular, the ultimate results of any restructuring or efficiency
initiative, integration and business improvement actions, including cost
synergies, depend on a number of factors, including the development of
final plans, the impact of local regulatory requirements regarding
employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the
restructuring or efficiency initiative and other business improvement
initiatives and the level of success achieved through such actions in
improving competitiveness, efficiency and effectiveness.
Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect operating results and
business performance are set forth under Item 1A of our most recent Form
10-K, and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and include the vitality of the markets we serve,
including the impact of oil price fluctuations on the markets served by
our Global Energy segment; the impact of economic factors such as the
worldwide economy, capital flows, interest rates and foreign currency
risk, including reduced sales and earnings in other countries resulting
from the weakening of local currencies versus the U.S. dollar; our
ability to execute key business initiatives, including upgrades to our
information technology systems; potential information technology
infrastructure failures and cybersecurity attacks; our ability to
attract and retain high caliber management talent to lead our business;
exposure to global economic, political and legal risks related to our
international operations including trade sanctions; our ability to
develop competitive advantages through innovation and to commercialize
digital solutions; the costs and effects of complying with laws and
regulations, including those relating to the environment and to the
manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and use of our products;
difficulty in procuring raw materials or fluctuations in raw material
costs; pressure on operations from consolidation of customers, vendors
or competitors; the occurrence of litigation or claims, including
related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill; restraints on pricing
flexibility due to contractual obligations; our ability to acquire
complementary businesses and to effectively integrate such businesses;
changes in tax law and unanticipated tax liabilities; potential loss of
deferred tax assets or increase in deferred tax liabilities; our
substantial indebtedness; public health epidemics; potential losses
arising from the impairment of goodwill or other assets; potential
chemical spill or release; potential class action lawsuits; the loss or
insolvency of a major customer or distributor; acts of war or terrorism;
natural or man-made disasters; water shortages; severe weather
conditions; and other uncertainties or risks reported from time to time
in our reports to the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this
communication may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not
be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to
update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new
information, future events or changes in expectations, except as
required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This news release and certain of the accompanying tables include
financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These
non-GAAP financial measures include:
-
fixed currency sales
-
acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales
-
adjusted cost of sales
-
adjusted gross margin
-
fixed currency operating income
-
fixed currency operating income margin
-
adjusted operating income
-
adjusted fixed currency operating income
-
adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
-
acquisition adjusted fixed currency operating income
-
acquisition adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
-
adjusted tax rate
-
adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab
-
adjusted diluted earnings per share
We provide these measures as additional information regarding our
operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate
our performance and in making financial and operational decisions,
including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our
presentation of these measures provides investors with greater
transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these
measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.
Our non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for cost of sales, gross
margin, operating income and interest expense exclude the impact of
special (gains) and charges, and our non-GAAP measures for tax rate, net
income attributable to Ecolab and diluted earnings per share further
exclude the impact of discrete tax items. We include items within
special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can
significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating
results and not necessarily reflect costs associated with historical
trends and future results. After tax special (gains) and charges are
derived by applying the applicable local jurisdictional tax rate to the
corresponding pre-tax special (gains) and charges.
We evaluate the performance of our international operations based on
fixed currency rates of foreign exchange, which eliminate the
translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international
results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on
translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange
rates established by management at the beginning of 2018. We also
provide our segment results based on public currency rates for
informational purposes.
Acquisition adjusted growth rates exclude the results of any acquired
business from the first twelve months post acquisition and exclude the
results of divested businesses from the previous twelve months prior to
divestiture. Acquisition adjusted growth rates also exclude sales to our
Venezuelan deconsolidated subsidiaries from both the current period and
comparable period of the prior year.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by
other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial
measure when evaluating our business. We recommend that investors view
these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this
news release. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures are included in
the following "Supplemental Non-GAAP Reconciliations" and “Supplemental
Diluted Earnings per Share Information” tables included in this news
release.
We do not provide reconciliations for non-GAAP estimates on a
forward-looking basis (including those contained in this report) when we
are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation
of reconciling items and the information is not available without
unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of
forecasting the timing and amount of various items that have not yet
occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted,
and that would impact reported earnings per share and the reported tax
rate, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial
measures to adjusted earnings per share and the adjusted tax rate. For
the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of
the unavailable information.

As shown in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above, we evaluate the
performance of our international operations based on fixed currency
exchange rates, which eliminate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations
on our international operations. Amounts shown in the “Public Currency
Rates” tables above reflect amounts translated at actual public average
rates of exchange prevailing during the corresponding period, and are
provided for informational purposes. The difference between the fixed
currency exchange rates and the public currency exchange rates is
reported as “Currency impact” in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above.
The Corporate segment includes amortization from the Nalco merger
intangible assets. The Corporate segment also includes special (gains)
and charges reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
