Lennox Profit Falls, Hurt by Higher Costs, Slow New Home Construction

By Nicholas G. Miller

 

Lennox reported lower first-quarter profit as higher costs and slow new home construction helped to offset growth in the company's commercial business.

The company posted net income of $117 million, or $3.35 a share, down from $130 million, or $3.63 a share, the year prior. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $3.15 a share.

Revenue increased 6% to $1.14 billion amid 38% revenue growth in the company's building climate solutions segment and a 10% decline in its home comfort segment. Wall Street expected $1.07 billion.

The company's home comfort business has been hurt by weak new home construction, while building climate solutions--which serves markets including retail establishments, restaurants and schools--is experiencing a boost from strong emergency replacement activity and new national account wins.

The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to about 8%, up from its previous forecast of 6% to 7%. It reiterated its adjusted earnings guidance of $23.50 to $25 a share. Analysts see adjusted earnings of $24.12 a share.
