WILSONVILLE, OR--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2016) - FLIR Systems, Inc. (
Second quarter 2016 net earnings were $45.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $50.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the second quarter a year ago. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2016 were negatively impacted by a $2 million write-down of a non-core minority investment. Excluding this write-down, adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.34. Cash provided by operations in the second quarter reached $81.7 million, FLIR's highest quarterly cash flow since 2013, and was driven by reductions in working capital.
Revenue from the Surveillance segment was $113.4 million, an increase of 5% from the second quarter results last year. The Instruments segment contributed $78.1 million of revenue during the second quarter, down 14% from the prior year, due to continued softness in mid-range handheld thermal products and strong MERS-related revenue in the prior year. The Security segment recorded revenue of $63.4 million in the second quarter, up 6% from the prior year. FLIR's OEM & Emerging Markets segment had $57 million of revenue, an increase of 23% over the prior year. Revenue from the Maritime segment was $55.2 million, which was up 6% from the second quarter of 2015. The Detection segment contributed $35.7 million of revenue, a decrease of 2% from the prior year.
FLIR's backlog of firm orders for delivery within the next twelve months was approximately $629 million as of June 30, 2016, an increase of $16 million, or 3%, during the quarter and an increase of $93 million, or 17%, over the $536 million balance at the end of the second quarter of 2015.
"We are encouraged by the growth we saw in our bookings and backlog during the second quarter, and our initiatives to improve working capital utilization resulted in strong cash flow," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. "As we anticipated, profitability during the second quarter was lower than our historic trend given an unusual product mix in our Surveillance segment as well as higher costs in our Instruments and Security segments. While we expect product mix to return to normal levels in the second half of the year, we have initiated a plan to reduce our costs which we expect to improve our overall profitability in the second half.
Revenue and Earnings Outlook for 2016
Based on financial results for the first half of the year and the outlook for the remainder of the year, FLIR expects revenue in 2016 to be in the range of $1.6 billion to $1.65 billion, and adjusted net earnings to now be in the range of $1.60 to $1.65 per diluted share. This guidance excludes the impact of discrete tax items, the investment write-down described above, and charges related to the cost reduction initiative planned for the second half.
Dividend Declaration
FLIR's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share on FLIR common stock, payable September 2, 2016, to shareholders of record as of close of business on August 19, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release makes reference to a non-GAAP measure of adjusted net earnings per diluted share which is adjusted from GAAP in the current quarter for a write-down of a cost-based investment and incrementally adjusted in the full year outlook for certain discrete tax items and charges associated with certain cost reduction initiatives anticipated in the second half of 2016. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of the Company's core business operations and therefore provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company's business operations, facilitates comparisons to the Company's historical operating results, and enhances investors' ability to review the Company's business from the same perspective as management. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP and the Company cautions investors and potential investors to consider this measure in addition to, not as a substitute for, its consolidated financial results as presented in accordance with GAAP. With respect to the outlook for the full year 2016, certain items that affect GAAP net earnings per diluted share are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Consequently, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP net earnings per diluted share or a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the full year.
