CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc. (NYSE: FLOW) today reported results for the quarter ended April 2, 2016.

First Quarter 2016 Overview:

Revenues declined 11.6% to $505.0 million, from $571.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The impact of the stronger U.S. Dollar versus foreign currencies decreased revenues by 2.4%, or $13.5 million, and organic revenues* decreased 9.2%, primarily due to impacts from lower oil and dairy prices.
Operating loss and margin were ($21.9) million and (4.3%), compared to operating income and margin of $35.6 million and 6.2% in the year-ago quarter, due primarily to $41.0 million of charges related to the company's previously announced realignment program and the organic revenue decline. Excluding charges related to the realignment program, adjusted operating income* and margin were $19.1 million and 3.8%.
Diluted net loss per share was ($0.75), including special charges of ($0.77) per share related to the realignment program. Excluding charges related to the realignment program, adjusted earnings per share* were $0.02 in Q1 2016.
Net cash used in operating activities was $68.3 million, due in part to the timing of cash on large projects, interest payments related to our senior notes, pension benefit payments to certain former officers of the company and cash outflows related to the realignment program.
Free cash flow* usage was $84.8 million, primarily due to the operating cash usage mentioned above, as well as $16.5 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to the new manufacturing facility in Poland.

"Exiting the first quarter, I am pleased with the collective effort across our enterprise to aggressively execute our realignment program. Overall, the year is progressing largely in-line with our expectations. Demand across many of our end markets is generally stable with pockets of encouraging activity developing. Our backlog grew 4% sequentially as large orders for fresh liquid dairy systems more than offset continued weakness in our oil related product lines," said President and CEO Marc Michael.

Michael continued, "Looking specifically at our realignment program, we have made significant progress to reduce our cost structure, realign our footprint and streamline our functional support globally. In aggregate, we expect these actions to result in a 10% to 15% reduction to both headcount and manufacturing footprint. We are on track to complete the realignment program in 2017 and reduce our cost structure by at least $110 million."

"Once completed, I'm confident we will improve our ability to more efficiently and competitively serve our customers across all three end market segments. As we realign the company, we are simultaneously focused on systematically growing our aftermarket sales and expanding certain high-value product lines into adjacent markets. Through all these actions I firmly believe we will create significant value for our shareholders," Michael concluded.

First Quarter 2016 Results by Segment:

Food and Beverage

Revenues for Q1 2016 were $184.8 million, compared to $210.1 million in Q1 2015, a decrease of $25.3 million, or 12.0%. Organic revenues* declined 9.9%, or $20.8 million, and currency fluctuations decreased revenues 2.1%, or $4.5 million. The decline in organic revenues was due primarily to lower revenue from large systems projects as the decline in dairy pricing, which began in 2015, has delayed the placement of several large system orders.

Segment income was $17.4 million, or 9.4% of revenues, in Q1 2016, compared to $22.4 million, or 10.7% of revenues, in Q1 2015. Segment income and margin decreased due primarily to the organic revenue declines described above.

Power and Energy

Revenues for Q1 2016 were $149.7 million, compared to $173.4 million in Q1 2015, a decrease of $23.7 million, or 13.7%. Organic revenues* declined 10.9%, or $18.8 million, and currency fluctuations decreased revenues 2.8%, or $4.9 million. The decline in organic revenue was due largely to the impact of lower oil prices on backlog entering the quarter and customer related shipment delays.

Segment income was $2.2 million, or 1.5% of revenues, in Q1 2016, compared to $16.0 million, or 9.2% of revenues, in Q1 2015. The decrease in segment income and margin was due primarily to the organic revenue decline described above, as well as competitive pricing pressures and lower utilization rates at certain of our manufacturing locations. These declines were partially offset by savings from restructuring actions.

Industrial

Revenues for Q1 2016 were $170.5 million, compared to $187.7 million in Q1 2015, a decline of $17.2 million, or 9.2%. Organic revenues* declined 7.0%, or $13.1 million, and currency fluctuations decreased revenues 2.2%, or $4.1 million. The organic revenue decline was due primarily to lower large capital project revenue and decreased sales of hydraulic technology equipment into the oil and gas market.

Segment income was $19.4 million, or 11.4% of revenues, in Q1 2016, compared to $25.8 million, or 13.7% of revenues, in Q1 2015. The decline in segment income and margin was due primarily to the organic revenue decline described above and a lower mix of higher margin products. These declines were partially offset by savings from restructuring actions.

2016 Full Year Financial Guidance:

The company reconfirmed its consolidated 2016 GAAP financial guidance originally issued on February 10, 2016. Additionally, based on analyst and investor feedback, and given the magnitude of the realignment program, the company has elected to provide 2016 financial guidance on both a GAAP and adjusted basis to simplify and align its financial guidance with the actual reporting of its 2016 financial results. Management believes this methodology will allow investors increased transparency to analyze the company's financial results with and without the impact of the realignment program. On an adjusted basis, the company is excluding $60 million of special charges and $105 million of cash investments directly related to the company's realignment program and $41 million of net cash pension funding for retirees.
