$339 million , increasing 18 percent from a year ago on a reported basis and 16 percent on a constant currency basis. Excluding the acquisition of Globe, organic revenue was up 5 percent on a constant currency basis.
- GAAP operating income increased 247 percent to
$47 million or 13.8 percent of sales, compared to$13 million or 4.7 percent of sales(1) in the same period a year ago. Adjusted operating income increased 19 percent to$58 million or 17.1 percent of sales, compared to$49 million or 16.8 percent of sales in the same period a year ago.
- GAAP earnings increased 165 percent to
$33 million or$0.85 per diluted share, compared to$13 million or$0.32 per diluted share(1) in the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings increased 25 percent to$41 million or$1.07 per diluted share, compared to$33 million or$0.85 per diluted share in the same period a year ago.
- Free cash flow exceeded 100 percent of net income, driven by a 240 basis point reduction in working capital as a percent of sales compared to the first quarter of 2018.
- The company reached a settlement on the disputed portion of its insurance receivable. The settlement ensures collection of the portion of the insurance receivable that was previously subject to litigation. Payment is expected to be received in the third quarter of 2018.
Comments from Management
"Our second quarter results reflect strong execution of the Growth-in-Focus initiative we highlighted at our
"Beyond the strong operating performance in the quarter, the successful resolution of litigation with a major insurance carrier is a significant milestone for us," Mr. Vartanian said. "Through this settlement, we secured collection of a significant portion of the insurance receivable, resolving coverage litigation that has been ongoing for nearly a decade." Mr. Vartanian added that the settlement represents a major step in a multi-year effort to collect insurance monies owed to the company.
"Our Growth-in-Focus initiative is based on achieving market leadership positions in our core product areas and market segments, while driving profitable growth and cash flow for our shareholders. The sustained momentum in our incoming order book, double-digit earnings growth and meaningful improvements in free cash flow were encouraging to see in the quarter. In the second half of 2018, we will continue to make focused investments to capitalize on this strong growth cycle, while diligently managing our administrative costs to drive operating leverage," Mr. Vartanian concluded.
(1) GAAP operating income growth of 247 percent and GAAP earnings growth of 165 percent is impacted by a $29.6 million charge taken in Q2 2017 related to product liability settlements reached in August 2017 and estimated indemnity for all other asserted cumulative trauma product liability claims. |

The
Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin are the measures used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. As such, management believes that adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin are useful metrics for investors. Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income excluding restructuring charges, currency exchange gains / losses, other operating expense and strategic transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income (loss) divided by segment sales to external customers. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and therefore do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or operating margin as a measure of operating performance. The Company's definition of adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider operating income determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP measures.

(a) Firefighter helmets and protective apparel includes the impact of the Globe acquisition, completed on July 31, 2017. |
Management believes that constant currency revenue growth is a useful metric for investors, as foreign currency translation can have a material impact on revenue growth trends. Constant currency revenue growth highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, which is outside of management's control. Organic constant currency revenue growth is defined as constant currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions. Management believes that organic constant currency revenue growth is a useful measure for investors to provide an understanding of MSA's standalone results. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of constant currency revenue growth or organic constant currency revenue growth is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider revenue growth determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP financial measures.

(a) Firefighter helmets and protective apparel includes the impact of the Globe acquisition, completed on July 31, 2017. |
Management believes that constant currency revenue growth is a useful metric for investors, as foreign currency translation can have a material impact on revenue growth trends. Constant currency revenue growth highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, which is outside of management's control. Organic constant currency revenue growth is defined as constant currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions. Management believes that organic constant currency revenue growth is a useful measure for investors to provide an understanding of MSA's standalone results. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of constant currency revenue growth or organic constant currency revenue growth is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider revenue growth determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP financial measures.

Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share are useful measures for investors, as management uses these measures to internally assess the company's performance and ongoing operating trends. There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods, nor that MSA's definition of adjusted earnings is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both net income determined on a GAAP basis as well as adjusted earnings.

Management believes that free cash flow is a meaningful measure for investors. Management reviews cash from operations after deducting capital expenditures because these expenditures are necessary to promote growth of MSA's business and are likely to produce cash from operations in future periods. It is important to note that free cash flow does not reflect the residual cash balance of the company for discretionary spending since other items, including debt and dividend payments, are deducted from free cash flow before arriving at the company's ending cash balance. Management defines free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by net income attributable to MSA. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of free cash flow is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider cash from operating activities determined on a GAAP basis as well as free cash flow.
