Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL) reported revenues of $1,181.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, a 17.9% increase from $1,002.4 million in the third quarter of 2017. Organic revenues grew 5.5%, acquired revenues contributed 11.7% growth in the quarter, and adoption of ASC 606 revenue recognition standard increased sales 0.6%.
Carlisle reported third quarter Operating Income of $140.0 million, up 3.9% from the third quarter of 2017 primarily driven by price realization and higher sales volumes, benefits from continued execution of the Carlisle Operating System, and contributions from acquisitions. Operating Income performance was partially offset by increases in freight, labor-related, and executive retirement costs. In addition to the aforementioned drivers, Carlisle's diluted EPS benefited from a lower effective tax rate and reduced share count in the quarter.

Comment
Chris Koch, President and CEO, stated, "I am pleased to report we achieved 5.5% organic growth in the quarter, driven by strong demand, price realization in our core business, and the execution of our growth strategy for metal roofing products at CCM, continued robust commercial aircraft build rates and MedTech market strength at CIT, strength in the General Industrial markets at CFT and positive trends in off-highway vehicle markets at CBF.
In the third quarter, Carlisle experienced certain challenges at CCM that negatively affected revenues and reported operating income. These included well above average wet weather in much of the Eastern US, Midwest and Texas, which reduced days on the roof. Our pricing strategy at Accella tested the upper limits of the market and impacted volumes in the quarter. Despite these challenges, we are encouraged by continued solid underlying demand for our products across commercial construction markets, our ability to maintain share while driving price realization in core CCM products, and slated actions to accelerate integration of and improve profitability at Accella.
That said, we continue to build momentum and execute on our Vision 2025 objectives. Consistent with our key strategic initiatives, year-to-date organic growth has exceeded our long-term goal of 5%, CFT's margin improvement continues to benefit from our 2017 restructuring and vertical integration initiatives; our Carlisle Operating System (COS) has driven savings of 1.5% of sales so far this year, in line with our targeted 1-2%; and we continued to return capital to shareholders, paying $69.7 million in dividends and repurchasing $295.4 million of Carlisle shares in 2018 so far, surpassing our initial 2018 plan."
Segment Information
Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM) third quarter of 2018 revenues were driven by solid U.S. commercial construction demand and continued progress on price realization in our core roofing product lines, partially offset by weaker than expected sales in September at least partially attributable to weather. Accella's revenues tracked at lower than expected levels. Operating margin benefited from continued price discipline and operational improvements in legacy CCM businesses, but were more than offset by raw material inflation, higher labor and freight costs, dilution from Accella, and one-time executive retirement expenses incurred in the quarter.

We now expect CCM revenues to grow in the low twenties in 2018, including contributions from acquisitions, with underlying demand and pricing supporting organic revenue growth in the low-to-mid single-digits.
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT) delivered strong revenue growth in the third quarter of 2018, driven by strength across all markets but most notably Aerospace, Space/Defense and MedTech. Carlisle's adoption of ASC 606 revenue recognition increased revenue by $6.3 million in the quarter. Operating Income improved year-over-year driven by higher volumes, savings from COS, lower restructuring expenses and FX tailwinds, partially offset by higher operating expenses and mix.

Carlisle Fluid Technologies (CFT) revenue growth in the third quarter of 2018 reflected strength of standard products sales in Asia Pacific and in the General Industrial market, offset by softer Transportation and Automotive Refinish markets. Operating Income performance improved, given benefits from our multiple facility rationalization efforts in 2017, progress on vertical integration, sourcing initiatives, and a one-time gain from the sale of a facility in Mexico.

Carlisle Brake & Friction (CBF) achieved strong organic revenue growth in the third quarter of 2018, reflecting the sustained recovery in off-highway vehicle markets and price realization, especially in Construction and Mining markets. CBF’s reported Operating Loss for the quarter was driven by $4.8 million of costs associated with our Tulsa, Oklahoma to Medina, Ohio facility consolidation, which is on track to be completed by year end.

Koch concluded, “As we enter the fourth quarter of 2018, we remain focused on driving actions that support our Vision 2025 strategic initiatives. Despite the challenges in September at CCM, we continue to have a positive outlook for 2018 and beyond. Favorably positioned with our ample liquidity and strong balance sheet, we remain committed to pursuing growth opportunities, both organically and through acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders. The momentum we have generated in the first year of executing our Vision 2025 plan gives me confidence that the stage has been set for a successful 2019."
Cash Flow
Cash flow provided by operations of $102.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $197 million lower than prior year, of which approximately $75 million is attributable to taxes related to the sale of Carlisle FoodService Products.
Free cash flow (defined as cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures, and comprised of continuing and discontinued operations) was a use of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $187.3 million versus the prior year. The decrease in free cash flow was due to cash taxes paid related to the sale of Carlisle FoodService Products, higher working capital given timing of customer payments and in support of organic growth, and cash used for restructuring. For the full year, excluding the effect of the sale of FoodService Products, we expect free cash flow conversion to be approximately 100%.
As of September 30, 2018, we had $780.5 million cash on hand and $1.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility.

Items affecting comparability include costs, and losses or gains related to, among other things, growth and profitability improvement initiatives and other events outside of core business operations (such as asset impairments, exit and disposal and facility rationalization charges, costs of and related to acquisitions, litigation costs, gains and losses from and costs related to divestitures, and discrete tax items). Because these items affect Carlisle's, or any particular operating segment's, financial condition or results in a specific period in which they are recognized, we believe it is appropriate to present the total of these items to provide information regarding the comparability of results of operations period to period.
