Second Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights
GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) declined 1% to $0.75 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.76 in the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter of 2016 included a $0.04 unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation. Guidance was $0.50 to $0.53.

Revenue increased 14% to $112 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $98 million in the second quarter of 2015, including a $15 million, or 16%, increase from an acquisition and a $2 million, or 2%, decrease from the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation. Excluding the acquisition and foreign currency translation effect, revenue was flat in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Guidance was $103 to $105 million.
Gross margin was 44.9% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 46.5% in the second quarter of 2015.

Management Commentary
“We had an exceptional second quarter for revenue and earnings per share performance, which exceeded our guidance,” said Jonathan W. Painter, president and chief executive officer of Kadant Inc. “Our adjusted diluted EPS was $0.88 in the second quarter of 2016, which was better than expected primarily due to strong performances from several operating units within our Stock-Preparation product line, which includes our most recent acquisition. In addition, the operating results from our Wood Processing and our Doctoring, Cleaning, & Filtration product lines were better than expected, the latter of which was due to the shipment of several large capital projects in the quarter.
“Despite the challenging economic headwinds experienced in most regions of the world in the first half of 2016, our internal revenue growth, excluding the acquisition and unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, was a solid four percent. We are encouraged by the successes we have enjoyed from our strategic growth initiatives and the positive results we are seeing.”
Second Quarter 2016
Net income from continuing operations was $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2016, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015. Net income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2016 included $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, of after-tax costs related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog and $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, of after-tax acquisition costs. Net income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2015 included $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $9.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $8.7 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.
Operating income decreased three percent to $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2015. Operating income included $1.9 million of expense related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog and $0.3 million of acquisition costs in the second quarter of 2016. Operating income included $0.3 million of expense related to restructuring and acquired profit in inventory and backlog in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, was $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2015.
Guidance
“We are pleased with our strong revenue and EPS performance in the second quarter, which was well above our forecast,” Mr. Painter continued. “Despite these strong results, weakening global market conditions have tempered our outlook for the second half of the year. For 2016, we expect revenues of $415 to $421 million, revised from our previous guidance of $412 to $422 million. We expect to achieve GAAP diluted EPS for 2016 of $2.75 to $2.81, revised from our previous guidance of $2.75 to $2.85. Our revised 2016 guidance includes $0.13 of acquisition costs, $0.12 of expense related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog, and a $0.02 gain on the sale of assets. Excluding the acquisition-related costs and gain, our adjusted diluted EPS guidance for 2016 is $2.98 to $3.04. For the third quarter of 2016, we expect to achieve GAAP diluted EPS of $0.62 to $0.65 on revenue of $103 to $105 million.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including increases or decreases in revenue excluding the effect of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business, operating results, or future outlook. We believe that the inclusion of such measures helps investors to gain an understanding of our underlying operating performance and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by us in our financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. We also believe this information is responsive to investors' requests and gives them an additional measure of our performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release have limitations associated with their use as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, in that they may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.
Revenue included $15.2 million from an acquisition in the second quarter and first six months of 2016. Revenue also included a $2.0 million and $5.7 million unfavorable foreign currency translation effect in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively. We present increases or decreases in revenue excluding the effect of acquisitions and foreign currency translation to provide investors insight into underlying revenue trends.
Adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS exclude acquisition costs, restructuring costs, other income, and expense related to acquired inventory and backlog. These items are excluded as they are not indicative of our core operating results and are not comparable to other periods, which have differing levels of incremental costs or income or none at all.
Adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA exclude:
Pre-tax gain on the sale of assets of $0.3 million in the first six months of 2016. Pre-tax restructuring costs of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $0.3 million in the first six months of 2015.
Pre-tax acquisition costs of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $1.7 million in the first six months of 2016.
Pre-tax expense related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog of $1.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016 and $0.2 million in the first six months of 2015.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude:
After-tax gain on the sale of assets of $0.2 million ($0.3 million net of tax of $0.1 million) in the first six months of 2016 and after-tax restructuring costs of $0.2 million in the second quarter and $0.2 million ($0.3 million net of tax of $0.1 million) in the first six months of 2015.
After-tax acquisition costs of $0.1 million ($0.3 million net of tax of $0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2016 and $1.4 million ($1.7 million net of tax of $0.3 million) in the first six months of 2016.
After-tax expense related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog of $1.4 million ($1.9 million net of tax of $0.5 million) in the second quarter and first six months of 2016. After-tax expense related to acquired profit in inventory and backlog of $0.1 million ($0.2 million net of tax of $0.1 million) in the first six months of 2015.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release.
