Strong third quarter productivity and operational performance

•
Reported sales of $560 million were down 1%; Organic sales down 1%
•
Reported EPS of $0.35, down 8%; Adjusted EPS of $0.49, up 7%
•

•
Completed Eldon acquisition, strengthening global growth opportunity

Reconciliations of GAAP (reported) to Non-GAAP measures are in the attached financial tables.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – October 30, 2019 – nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2019 and provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2019.
Third quarter sales of $560 million were down 1 percent relative to the third quarter 2018 and declined 1 percent organically, which excludes the impact from currency fluctuations and acquisitions. Eldon added approximately $8 million in sales to the Enclosures segment during the third quarter. Third quarter 2019 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) were $0.35, while on an adjusted basis, the company had EPS of $0.49. Segment income, adjusted net income, free cash flow and adjusted EPS are described in the attached schedules.
Third quarter 2019 operating income was $86 million, down 8 percent from $94 million in the third quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, segment income was $115 million, flat compared to the third quarter of 2018, as price and productivity initiatives offset inflation and the impact of volume declines.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $158 million in the first three quarters of 2019 and total free cash flow was $135 million. The company continues to target full-year free cash flow of approximately 100 percent of adjusted net income.
"I am pleased with our third quarter execution across the portfolio. We expanded adjusted return on sales by achieving strong productivity gains and driving price despite a weaker macro environment. We continue to align our cost structure to current market trends while investing in our strategic priorities. Our One nVent growth initiatives continue to contribute positive growth. Our adjusted EPS grew 7% year-over-year and we had over 100% free cash flow conversion,” said Beth Wozniak, nVent's chief executive officer. "We closed the Eldon acquisition during the quarter and remain excited about the opportunity to drive global growth."

GUIDANCE FOR FULL-YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2019
The company now estimates reported sales growth for the full-year 2019 of down 1 percent to flat, which represents flat to up 1 percent organic growth versus the prior year. The company expects full-year 2019 EPS of $1.36 to $1.40 on a GAAP basis and adjusted EPS of $1.74 to $1.78.
The company estimates reported sales for the fourth quarter of 2019 to be up 1 percent to 3 percent, which represents down 2 percent to flat on an organic basis. The company estimates fourth quarter 2019 EPS on a GAAP basis of $0.35 to $0.39 and adjusted EPS of $0.42 to $0.46.
Fourth quarter and full-year EPS guidance includes the estimated impact of the proposed U.S. tax regulations announced in December 2018, and the company estimates there is no material contribution from the Eldon acquisition to full-year adjusted EPS given the late third quarter close.
DIVIDENDS
nVent previously announced on September 24, 2019 that its Board of Directors approved a regular cash dividend of $0.175 per share, payable during the fourth quarter on November 1, 2019.
