CLEVELAND, April 27, 2017 -- Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today reported results for the fiscal 2017 third quarter ended March 31, 2017. Fiscal 2017 third quarter sales increased 10% to $3.12 billion compared with $2.83 billion in the prior year quarter. Net income increased 28% to $238.8 million compared with $187.1 million in the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2017 third quarter earnings per share increased 28% to $1.75, compared with $1.37 in the fiscal 2016 third quarter. Earnings per share were $2.11, when adjusted for business realignment and acquisition related expenses, compared with $1.51 in the prior year quarter, which was adjusted for business realignment expenses. Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $789.3 million or 9.2% of sales, compared with $704.6 million or 8.4% of sales in the prior year period. Excluding discretionary pension contributions, year-to-date cash flow from operations was 11.8% of sales compared with 10.8% of sales in the prior year period.

“Accelerated sales growth combined with the benefits of ongoing execution of our Win Strategy™ initiatives, contributed to another strong quarter for Parker across many measures,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Williams. “While sales growth included the CLARCOR acquisition, we were





particularly pleased that organic sales increased 6%. We drove meaningful year-over-year adjusted segment operating margin improvement of 140 basis points with total segment operating margins reaching 16.1%. With the completion of the CLARCOR acquisition, we are well underway with the integration of our two great filtration businesses designed to achieve significant synergies. We were also pleased at Parker’s ability to be a consistent generator of cash with strong year-to-date operating cash flow performance.”

Segment Results
Diversified Industrial Segment: North American third quarter sales increased 13% to $1.4 billion, and operating income increased 12% to $227.4 million compared with $202.2 million in the same period a year ago. International third quarter sales increased 11% to $1.1 billion, and operating income increased 45% to $153.0 million compared with $105.2 million in the same period a year ago.

Aerospace Systems Segment: Third quarter sales increased 3% to $577.0 million, and operating income decreased 5% to $80.0 million compared with $84.2 million in the same period a year ago.

Parker reported the following orders for the quarter ending March 31, 2017, compared with the same quarter a year ago:
Orders increased 8% for total Parker;
Orders increased 9% in the Diversified Industrial North America businesses;
Orders increased 13% in the Diversified Industrial International businesses; and
Orders were flat in the Aerospace Systems Segment on a rolling 12-month average basis.

Outlook
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, the company has increased guidance for earnings from continuing operations to the range of $6.90 to $7.20 per share, or $7.70 to $8.00 per share on an adjusted basis. Fiscal year 2017 guidance is adjusted for expected business realignment expenses of approximately $0.25 per share and acquisition related expenses of approximately $0.55 per share. Full fiscal year 2017 earnings guidance has been updated to include acquisitions.

Williams added, “Our results reflect the hard work of Parker team members in executing the Win Strategy as we continue with actions targeted at achieving top quartile financial performance among our peer companies. In addition, we see broad based improvements in many end markets and regions, which is reflected in our strong order growth in the third quarter.”

Note on Orders
Orders provide near-term perspective on the company's outlook, particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future quarterly order rates. However, orders are not in themselves an indication of future performance. All comparisons are at constant currency exchange rates, with the prior year restated to the current-year rates. All exclude acquisitions until they can be reflected in both the numerator and denominator. Aerospace comparisons are rolling 12-month average computations. The total Parker orders number is derived from a weighted average of the year-over-year quarterly % change in orders for Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International, and the year-over-year 12-month rolling average of orders for the Aerospace Systems Segment.

Note on Non-GAAP Numbers
This press release contains references to (a) earnings per share and segment operating margins without the effect of business realignment charges and acquisition related expenses; (b) the effect of business realignment charges and acquisition related expenses on forecasted earnings from continuing operations per share; and (c) cash flows from operations without the effect of discretionary pension contributions. The effects of business realignment charges, acquisition related expenses and discretionary pension contributions are removed to allow investors and the company to meaningfully evaluate changes in earnings per share, segment operating margins and cash flows from operations on a comparable basis from period to period.
