Management Commentary
“We ended 2015 on a high note with record-setting fourth quarter performances in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS,” said Jonathan W. Painter, president and chief executive officer of Kadant. “Our record results for the fourth quarter of 2015 were largely driven by our Stock-Preparation product line in China and were achieved despite the negative effects of foreign currency translation due to a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduced diluted EPS by $0.10 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.
“2015 was an excellent year for Kadant with record performances in gross margins, operating income, net income, adjusted EBITDA, and diluted EPS, which were achieved despite the significant negative foreign currency translation effects. Outstanding results in our Stock-Preparation product line in North America and China as well as in our Wood Processing Systems segment contributed to our strong performance.”
Fourth Quarter 2015
Operating income from continuing operations was $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, was $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $12.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net income from continuing operations was $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to $9.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 included a $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, after-tax restructuring cost. Net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 included a $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, after-tax restructuring benefit. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $10.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $9.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fiscal Year 2015
Operating income from continuing operations was $50.1 million in 2015 compared to $42.1 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 included $0.2 million of expense related to acquired inventory and backlog and $0.5 million of restructuring costs. Operating income in 2014 included $2.6 million of expense related to acquired inventory and backlog and $0.8 million of restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, was $50.8 million in 2015 compared to $45.5 million in 2014.

Guidance
“We had an outstanding performance in 2015 with a number of financial records,” Mr. Painter continued. “As we look to 2016, we expect another strong year, although 2015 will be a challenging comparison. We anticipate that a reduction in capital activity, as well as foreign currency translation, will have a negative effect on our results in 2016. As a result, we expect to achieve GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $2.80 to $2.90 in 2016 on revenue of $370 to $380 million. The 2016 guidance incudes an unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $10 million on revenue and $0.11 on diluted EPS compared to 2015. Similar to 2015, we expect the first quarter of 2016 to be weaker with stronger successive quarterly operating results for the remainder of the year. For the first quarter of 2016, we expect to achieve GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.55 to $0.58 on revenue of $89 to $91 million.”
