Net income attributable to Hubbell in the first quarter of 2019 was $72 million compared to $58 million reported in the comparable period of 2018.

Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and Aclara transaction costs in 2018, adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.57 in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $1.51 in the same period of the prior year (1).

OPERATIONS REVIEW
"Hubbell achieved another strong quarter of organic growth," said David G. Nord, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain disciplined on driving price to offset inflationary headwinds, while end markets overall continued to grow at a modest pace as expected. Most major end markets expanded in the quarter, and we saw particular strength in industrial, gas distribution, and electrical T&D. Oil markets were soft in the quarter, while Aclara revenue contribution was ahead of expectations driven by strong customer demand."
"In both Electrical and Power segments, though we continue to face inflationary pressures, we achieved price realization in excess of material cost inflation and tariffs in the quarter." Mr. Nord continued, "Power segment margins continued to be impacted by the wraparound of Aclara, along with unfavorable mix which we expect to normalize over the balance of the year. We are on track with regard to our previously announced footprint consolidation initiative, and plan to accelerate our investment in restructuring and related activities in the second quarter."

SEGMENT REVIEW
The comments and year-over-year comparisons in this segment review are based on first quarter results in 2019 and 2018.
Electrical segment net sales in the first quarter of 2019 increased 2% to $630 million compared to $618 million reported in the first quarter of 2018. Organic sales grew 3% in the quarter while foreign currency subtracted 1%. Operating income was $69 million, or 10.9% of net sales, compared to $61 million, or 9.9% of net sales, in the same period of 2018. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, adjusted operating income was $74 million, or 11.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $67 million, or 10.9% of net sales in the same period of the prior year (1). The increases in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to price realization, partially offset by increases in material costs and tariffs.
Power segment net sales in the first quarter of 2019 increased 23% to $457 million compared to $373 million reported in the first quarter of 2018. Organic sales grew 9% compared to the first quarter of 2018, while acquisitions contributed 14%. Operating income was $52 million, or 11.4% of net sales, compared to $38 million, or 10.3% of net sales, in the same period of 2018. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and Aclara transaction costs in 2018, adjusted operating income was $65 million, or 14.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $64 million, or 17.0% of net sales in the same period of the prior year (1). Changes in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to the impact of Aclara, as well as higher volumes and price realization in excess of increases in material costs.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
For the full year 2019, Hubbell continues to anticipate end markets will grow approximately 2% to 3% in the aggregate and approximately 1% growth from acquisitions. This end market outlook includes growth of 1 - 3% in non-residential markets, 0 - 2% in residential markets, 2 - 4% in oil and gas markets, 2 - 4% in electrical T&D markets, and 2 - 4% in industrial markets.
Hubbell reaffirms 2019 reported diluted earnings per share expectations in the range of $6.80 to $7.20 and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) expectations in the range of $7.80 to $8.20(1). Adjusted EPS excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which the Company expects to be approximately $1.00 for the full year(1). The Company believes Adjusted EPS is an insightful measure of underlying financial performance in light of our acquisition strategy.
These ranges continue to be based on a tax rate of 23% to 24% and include approximately $0.40 of anticipated restructuring and related investment, primarily driven by footprint consolidation efforts. The Company continues to expect free cash flow to be ~110% of reported net income in 2019(3).
Mr. Nord further commented, "Hubbell's first quarter results demonstrate a strong start to 2019 and set us up well to achieve our full year commitments. We feel confident in our ability to drive differentiated performance this year through improved price/cost management, as well as execution on footprint, productivity and cost takeout initiatives."

Footnotes
(1) References to "adjusted" operating measures exclude the impact of certain costs. Management believes these adjusted operating measures provide useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and an understanding of our results of operations without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Adjusted operating measures include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA, which exclude, where applicable:
◦ | Effective as of the first quarter of 2019, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets associated with all of our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions, |
◦ | Adjusted operating measures in 2018 also excluded, Aclara transaction costs, which includes professional services and other fees that were incurred in connection with the acquisition of Aclara, |
◦ | Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the Other expense, net, and Interest expense, net, captions. |
Each of these adjusted operating measures are non-GAAP measures. Management uses the adjusted measures when assessing the performance of the business. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the tables within this press release.
(2) Net debt (defined as total debt less cash and investments) to total capital is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is a useful measure for evaluating the Company's financial leverage and the ability to meet its funding needs.
(3) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate cash without reliance on external financing. In addition, management uses free cash flow to evaluate the resources available for investments in the business, strategic acquisitions and further strengthening the balance sheet.
(4) In connection with our restructuring and related actions we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incur restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as "restructuring and related costs", which is a non-GAAP measure.
