(NYSE:SPXC) ("SPX", the "Company", "we" or "our") today reported results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2024. Gene Lowe, President and CEO, remarked, "I'm very pleased with our strong Q1 performance, which included substantial growth in all of our key profit measures and significant margin expansion in both segments. During the quarter we continued to see solid demand across several key markets and our businesses executed well operationally." Mr. Lowe continued, "During Q1, we made significant progress on several key value creation initiatives, including driving greater efficiencies in our production facilities and effectively integrating our recent acquisitions. These enhancements are strengthening our company and positioning us for further growth." Mr. Lowe commented further, "Looking ahead, we continue to see overall favorable demand trends and positive operational momentum. Following the strong start to the year, we are raising our full-year guidance for Adjusted EPS* to a range of $5.15 to $5.40 from $4.85 to $5.15 previously, with the midpoint implying year-on-year growth of approximately 23%." First Quarter 2024 Overview: For the first quarter of 2024, the company reported revenue of $465.2 million and operating income of $64.6 million, compared with revenue of $399.8 million and operating income of $49.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $49.0 million, compared with $42.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.  Diluted income per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2024 was $1.05, compared with $0.84 in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue, operating income, net income and diluted income per share from continuing operations were due primarily to higher revenue in both our HVAC and Detection & Measurement segments. Adjusted EBITDA* was $92.0 million, compared with $62.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, or an increase of 46.7%. Adjusted earnings per share* in the first quarter of 2024 was $1.25, compared with $0.93 in the first quarter of 2023.  Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted earnings per share* exclude amortization expense and acquisition-related costs, among other items.

HVAC Segment Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $302.4 million, compared with $251.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 20.2%, including a 22.2% increase from the acquisitions of Ingénia, ASPEQ, and TAMCO, a 1.9% organic revenue* decline, and a 0.1% unfavorable impact related to currency fluctuation. The organic decline was due primarily to lower sales of heating products associated with unseasonably warm temperatures during the Q1 heating season compared with higher prior-year sales that were supported by elevated post-pandemic backlog. Segment income in the first quarter of 2024 was $68.4 million, or 22.6% of revenue. This compares with segment income of $47.7 million, or 19.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in segment income and 360 basis points increase in segment income margin were due primarily to the higher revenues noted above as well as a more favorable product mix. Detection & Measurement Segment Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $162.8 million, compared with $148.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 9.9%, including a 9.6% increase in organic revenue* and a 0.3% favorable impact related to currency fluctuation. The organic increase was primarily due to higher project sales in our Communication Technologies platform.  Segment income for the first quarter of 2024 was $31.4 million, or 19.3% of revenue.  This compares with segment income of $26.7 million, or 18.0% of revenue of in the first quarter of 2023.  The increase in segment income and 130 basis points increase in segment income margin were due to the higher revenue noted above and the associated operating leverage.

These non-GAAP financial measures do not provide investors with an accurate measure of, and should not be used as a substitute for, the comparable financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures, give investors a useful tool to assess and understand the Company's overall financial performance, because they exclude items of income or expense that the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance, allowing for a better period-to-period comparison of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as measures of the Company's performance. The Company acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company's reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Refer to the tables included in this press release for the components of each of the non-GAAP financial measures, and for the reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective comparable GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial guidance excludes items, which would be included in our GAAP financial measures, that we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance; and are calculated in a manner consistent with the presentation of the similarly titled historical non-GAAP measures presented in this press release. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition costs, costs associated with dispositions, and potential non-cash income or expense items associated with changes in market interest rates and actuarial or other data related to our pension and postretirement plans, as the ultimate aggregate amounts associated with these items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is not practicable. Full-year guidance excludes changes in the number of shares outstanding; impacts from future acquisitions, dispositions and related transaction costs, restructuring costs, incremental impacts of tariffs and trade tensions on market demand and costs subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes subsequent to the end of the first quarter, and environmental and litigation charges.
