Franklin Electric reported a decrease in sales and earnings per share for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. However, the results exceeded revised expectations, with solid performance in the Water and Distribution businesses.
Second quarter sales were $308.3 million, compared to $355.3 million in 2019.
GAAP fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.52, versus $0.70 in the second quarter 2019.
Distribution revenues grew by 6 percent and earnings grew by over 40 percent versus the 2019 second quarter.
Year to date free cash flow as a percent of net income was 106 percent compared to a negative 13 percent at the end of the second quarter 2019.
Assuming there are no new government mandated restrictions in our key end markets, we estimate our full year 2020 earnings per share before restructuring charges will be between $1.75 to $1.90 and that our Free Cash Flow conversion will be between 130 and 150 percent of Net Income for the full year 2020.
