BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Jan. 31, 2013
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation
(NYSE: WHR) announced today fourth-quarter GAAP net earnings of $122 million,
or $1.52 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $205 million, or $2.62
per diluted share reported during the same period last year. Prior-year GAAP
earnings included $2.17 per share of benefits from tax credits. On an adjusted
basis, diluted earnings per share^(1) improved significantly to $2.29,
compared to $0.32 in the prior year, driven by continued favorable product
price and mix, productivity and the benefit of cost and capacity-reduction
initiatives.

Sales in the quarter were $4.8 billion, compared to $4.9 billion in 2011.
Excluding the impact of both foreign currency and lower Brazilian (BEFIEX) tax
credits, sales increased approximately 2 percent, driven by strong product
price and mix.
"Our actions have clearly produced the expected improvement in operating
margins, resulting in strong earnings per share and underlying cash flow,"
said Jeff M. Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer of Whirlpool
Corporation. "As outlined in October 2011, we successfully improved operating
margins through our cost-based price increases, product mix, cost and
capacity-reduction initiatives and ongoing productivity programs. Those
actions, combined with improving trends in U.S. housing and growth
opportunities in emerging markets, create positive momentum going into 2013."
Fourth-quarter GAAP operating profit totaled $258 million, compared with $205
million in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, operating profit^(2) totaled
$309 million, approximately 7 percent of sales, compared with $128 million,
approximately 3 percent of sales, in the prior year. Continued positive
product price and mix, productivity and the benefit of cost and
capacity-reduction initiatives positively impacted results during the quarter.
GAAP operating profit for the year totaled $869 million, compared with $792
million in 2011. On an adjusted basis, full-year operating profit^(2) totaled
over $1.0 billion, approximately 6 percent of sales, almost doubling compared
to the $559 million, 3 percent of sales, in 2011, largely driven by
improvement in product price and mix and cost and capacity-reduction
initiatives. Full-year sales of $18.1 billion decreased 3 percent from $18.7
billion in 2011. Excluding the impact of both foreign currency and lower
BEFIEX tax credits, sales increased approximately 3 percent. GAAP net earnings
for the year increased to $5.06 per diluted share, compared to $4.99 per share
for 2011. On an adjusted basis, net earnings^(1) for the year increased to
$7.05 per diluted share, compared to $2.05 per share for 2011.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the company reported cash
flow provided by operating activities of $696 million compared to $530 million
in the prior-year period. Current-year results include cash outflows of $400
million for legal settlements. On a year-to-date basis, Whirlpool Corporation
reported free cash flow^(3) of $230 million compared to $(55) million in the
prior-year period.
OUTLOOK
For 2013, Whirlpool Corporation expects to report full-year diluted earnings
per share of $9.80 to $10.30. On an adjusted basis (excluding restructuring
charges, Brazilian (BEFIEX) tax credits and U.S. energy tax credits), the
company expects to report full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share^(1) of
$9.25 to $9.75.
2013 EPS Outlook
GAAP EPS $9.80–$10.30
Restructuring Expense 1.75
Brazilian (BEFIEX) Tax Credits (0.81)
U.S. Energy Tax Credits* (1.50)
Ongoing Business Operations EPS^(1) $9.25–$9.75
*2013 outlook includes the expected impact of the U.S. energy tax credits
earned in 2012 and 2013. The benefit earned for both years will be recognized
in 2013.
For the full-year 2013, Whirlpool Corporation expects to generate free cash
flow^(3) between $600 million and $650 million. Included in this guidance are
restructuring cash outlays of up to $245 million, capital spending of $600 to
$650 million and U.S. pension contributions of up to $140 million.
"Our competitive cost structure, preferred brands and new product
introductions have positioned us well for global industry demand recovery,"
said Fettig. "We will continue funding our business and executing our
long-term growth strategy, and we remain focused on delivering our 8 percent
operating margin target by 2014."
FOURTH-QUARTER REGIONAL REVIEW
Whirlpool North America
Whirlpool North America reported fourth-quarter sales of $2.5 billion, down
approximately 3 percent from the prior year. The North American region
reported operating profit of $233 million, compared to $202 million in the
prior year. On an adjusted basis, fourth-quarter operating profit^(4) of $233
million, over 9 percent of sales, compares with $106 million, 4 percent of
sales, in the prior year. Continued favorable product price and mix,
productivity and cost and capacity-reduction actions positively impacted the
quarter. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year operating
profit margin improvement.
Based on the current economic outlook, the company expects full-year 2013 U.S.
industry unit shipments to increase in the range of 2 to 3 percent.
Whirlpool Latin America
Whirlpool Latin America reported fourth-quarter sales of $1.3 billion, up 1
percent from the prior year. Excluding currency translation and Brazilian
(BEFIEX) tax credits, sales increased 14 percent on higher volumes and
improved product price and mix.
The region reported operating profit of $134 million, compared to $155 million
in the prior year. During the 2012 and 2011 quarters, the company monetized
$15 million and $59 million of Brazilian (BEFIEX) tax credits, respectively.
On an adjusted basis, operating profit^(4) totaled $119 million, approximately
9 percent of sales, versus $96 million, approximately 8 percent of sales, in
the prior year. Favorable product price and mix and productivity more than
offset higher material costs.
The company expects full-year 2013 industry unit shipments to increase in the
range of 3 to 5 percent.
Whirlpool Europe, Middle East and Africa
Whirlpool Europe, Middle East and Africa reported fourth-quarter sales of $794
million, versus $848 million in the prior year. Excluding currency
translation, sales were down approximately 4 percent.
The region reported an operating profit of $8 million, 1 percent of sales,
compared to the $(32) million operating loss, approximately minus 4 percent of
sales, in the prior year. Favorable product price and mix combined with
productivity and benefits from cost and capacity-reduction initiatives more
than offset higher material costs.
The company expects full-year 2013 industry unit shipments to be flat.
Whirlpool Asia
Whirlpool Asia reported fourth-quarter sales of $203 million, versus $200
million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of currency, sales increased 4
percent.
Operating profit of $7 million, 3 percent of sales, was up compared to $2
million, approximately 1 percent of sales, in the prior year. Favorable
product price and mix and productivity more than offset unfavorable currency
and higher material costs.
The company expects full-year 2013 industry unit shipments to increase 3 to 5
percent.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME RECONCILIATION OF
GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars except per share data)
(Unaudited)
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP
financial measures, which we refer to as "ongoing business operations"
measures, including adjusted operating profit, adjusted earnings (loss) before
income taxes (hereafter referred to as "adjusted earnings (loss) before tax"),
adjusted diluted earnings per share available to Whirlpool common stockholders
(hereafter referred to as "adjusted diluted earnings per share"), adjusted
operating profit by segment (hereafter referred to as "adjusted segment
operating profit"), and free cash flow. Ongoing business operations measures
exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from
our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures
provide meaningful information to assist stockholders in understanding our
financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance.
Management believes adjusted operating profit, adjusted earnings before tax,
adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted segment operating profit are
important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not
be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide
a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant
measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the company's ability to
fund its activities and obligations. Because non-GAAP financial measures are
not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures
with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar
names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for reported operating profit, earnings before
income taxes, diluted net earnings per share available to Whirlpool common
stockholders and cash provided by operating activities, the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect
an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with
our GAAP results and the following reconciliations to corresponding GAAP
financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We
strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial
statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any
single financial measure.
