Crane Co. (NYSE: CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported fourth quarter and full-year 2021 financial results, and provided its full-year 2022 outlook.

Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “I remain so incredibly proud of how all of our global teams across Crane performed throughout the challenges of the last two years. Our success reflects the dedication and commitment of our 11,000 associates who embody the best of Crane's strong culture, and who create value for our customers and all of our stakeholders every day with their passion and innovation.

"That culture and passion was clearly apparent in our phenomenal 2021 results, with record adjusted EPS, operating margin, and free cash flow despite the year's difficult and uncertain environment. We also made further progress positioning Crane for sustainable value creation in the decade ahead through continued innovation and investments in our technology roadmaps that will drive organic share gains and outperformance vs. peers as our end markets continue to recover.

"Looking to 2022, our performance momentum continues, and we are confident in the strength of our three growth platforms and our demonstrated ability to successfully deliver strong results in the current environment. Despite continued uncertainty related to COVID and other operating conditions, we are introducing initial 2022 adjusted EPS from continuing operations guidance of $7.00-$7.40, reflecting 10% growth at the midpoint compared to our record 2021 earnings. That earnings momentum, along with consistently strong cash flow, will enable us to drive further value through continued organic investments, as well as through capital deployment and inorganic growth in 2022 and beyond."

Cash Flow and Other Financial Metrics

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during full year 2021 was $467 million, compared to $284 million in 2020.

Free cash flow from continuing operations (cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital spending) for 2021 was $415 million, compared to $251 million in 2020.

Rich Maue, Crane Co. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added: "Reflecting confidence in our long term outlook, and supported by continued robust free cash flow and a very strong balance sheet, during the fourth quarter we repurchased just under $100 million of our stock, leaving approximately $200 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization that we announced in October 2021. In addition, we also announced today that our Board of Directors declared a 9% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.47, from $0.43, per share. Our balance sheet strength supports these returns of cash to our shareholders, as well as providing substantial financial flexibility for our active pursuit of acquisitions, and a continued evaluation of further capital deployment options to drive shareholder returns."

Any discussions contained in this press release, except to the extent that they contain historical facts, are forward-looking and accordingly involve estimates, assumptions, judgments and uncertainties.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain non-GAAP measures are provided in this press release. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Specifically, management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and management in understanding ongoing operations and by providing a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. In addition, Free Cash Flow provides supplemental information to assist investors and management in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's core operating results and financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP results are included in the tables at the end of this press release.
