GLENVIEW, Ill., Jan. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) today reported fourth quarter diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.92, three cents higher than the midpoint of the Company's forecast. The better-than-expected EPS was driven by strong contributions from the Company's enterprise initiatives as well as improving organic revenue growth from both international and North American geographies.
Key highlights for the 2013 fourth quarter financial results versus the prior-year period include:
"We were pleased with the Company's performance in the quarter and for the year," said Scott Santi, president and chief executive officer. "In the quarter, we continued to deliver meaningful improvement in our earnings per share, operating margin, and return on invested capital metrics. In addition, we saw modest improvement in the demand environment in a number of our key end markets which drove a noticeable sequential improvement in the Company's organic growth rate in the quarter."
"For full-year 2013, we grew earnings per share 13 percent, expanded operating margins by 100 basis points to 17.8 percent, improved after-tax return on invested capital by 180 basis points to 16.3 percent, and returned $2.9 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. As a result of the ongoing execution of our enterprise strategy initiatives, the Company is well positioned to deliver another year of strong progress towards our enterprise strategy performance goals across a range of macro-economic conditions in 2014."
Comparisons to the Company's 2012 financial results exclude the impacts of the divested Decorative Surfaces segment. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP results are included in the attached exhibits.
The Company is reiterating its full-year 2014 earnings forecast that it presented in December at its annual investor and analyst day in New York City. The Company continues to expect full-year 2014 EPS to be in a range of $4.30 to $4.50. This EPS range assumes a full-year total revenue growth range of 2 percent to 4 percent and full-year organic growth of 2 percent to 3 percent. For the 2014 first quarter, the Company is forecasting EPS to be in a range of $0.93 to $1.01 and expects total revenue growth in a range of 3 percent to 6 percent.
