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.”

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.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including increases or decreases in revenue excluding acquisitions and the effect of foreign currency translation, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business, operating results, or future outlook. We believe that the inclusion of such measures helps investors to gain an understanding of our underlying operating performance and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by us in our financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. We also believe this information is responsive to investors' requests and gives them additional measures of our performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release have limitations associated with their use as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, in that they may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.
Revenue included $8.5 million and $32.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation effects in the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015, respectively. Revenue in 2015 also included $6.7 million from an acquisition. We present increases or decreases in revenue excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency translation to provide investors insight into underlying revenue trends.
Adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS exclude expense related to acquired inventory and backlog, and restructuring costs (benefit). These items are excluded as they are not indicative of our core operating results and not comparable to other periods, which have differing levels of incremental costs or other income or none at all.
Adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA exclude:
- Pre-tax restructuring costs of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and pre-tax restructuring benefit of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
- Pre-tax restructuring costs of $0.5 million and $0.8 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
- Pre-tax expense of $0.2 million and $2.6 million related to acquired inventory and backlog in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude:
- Restructuring costs of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 ($0.2 million net of tax of $0.1 million) and restructuring benefit of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
- Restructuring costs of $0.4 million ($0.5 million net of tax of $ 0.1 million) in 2015 and restructuring costs of $0.6 million ($0.8 million net of tax of $0.2 million) in 2014.
- Expense related to acquired inventory and backlog of $0.1 million ($0.2 million net of tax of $0.1 million) and $1.9 million ($2.6 million net of tax of $0.7 million) in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Adjusted diluted EPS in the three-month and twelve-month periods ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 was calculated using the reported weighted average diluted shares for each period.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release.
