As a result, Federal Signal forecast full-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the range of 70 to 80 cents, well below the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $1.02.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilar to other companies that have recently provided guidance, we expect 2016 industrial markets to be challenging,\u201d said president and CEO Jennifer Sherman in a conference call with analysts. \u201cThe broader impacts of the oil and gas downturn are expected to reduce our 2016 operating income by $12 to $14 million.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalsignal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/InvestorNewsReleases\/2016_02_29_q4_fy_2015_earnings_release_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">latest quarter<\/a> ended Dec. 31, 2015, Federal Signal earned profits of $17.4 million, or 27 cents per diluted share, down 13 percent from $19.1 million, or 31 cents per share, in the same period the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>That beat by 5 cents the Bloomberg analysts\u2019 forecast of 22 cents per share, but coming in above expectations was not enough not prevent a steep slide in the company\u2019s stock price given its gloomy outlook for 2016.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/FSS-feature-photo-3.png\" alt=\"FSS feature photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"552\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/FSS-feature-photo-3.png 600w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/FSS-feature-photo-3-300x276.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Federal Signal&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings numbers were released Monday and prompted a negative reaction from investors. (H. Will Racke\/MEDILL)<\/div>\n<p>Seaport Global securities analyst Walt Liptak highlighted unfavorable price competition from used equipment as a significant roadblock in the coming year and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe company called out weak oil and gas trends lowering used equipment prices, which is resulting in lower demand for new equipment,\u201d wrote Liptak in a report. \u201cFederal Signal is unsure when this excess equipment will work through the channel, but management initially estimated that it could take up to 12 to 18 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seaport Global revised down its full-year EPS forecast to 75 cents from its previous estimate of $1.07.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt [Federal Signal] is still a sound financial investment, but it doesn\u2019t have the same capital appreciation that we recently thought it did,\u201d said Liptak.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterly sales were down 11 percent\u2014$186.4 million compared to $209.1 million in the year-ago quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s Environmental Solutions Group, which normally accounts for about two-thirds of its sales volume, had a particularly rough quarter as group revenue declined by 13 percent to $124.3 million. Officials pointed to soft domestic demand for its vacuum trucks and sewer cleaners as the main cause of lower sales by that group.<\/p>\n<p>While Q4 revenues were off from the year-ago quarter, Federal Signal remained optimistic about its long-term performance potential and highlighted the strength of its cash flows and debt position. CFO Brian Cooper said that the company\u2019s total debt stood at $44 million at the close of the year, compared to $50 million at the end of 2014. End-of-year cash on hand was $76 million, more than three times the $24 million in its coffers the year before.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman said the January 29 sale of the Bronto Skylift business, the last remaining brand in its now-discontinued Fire Safety Group, will give Federal Signal the flexibility to pursue new growth initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>One such venture was announced at Monday\u2019s earnings call, when the company revealed that it will acquire the assets and operations of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jjei.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Johnson Equipment Inc.<\/a>, a Canadian distributor of new and used street sweepers, pump trucks, and snow removal machinery. That acquisition comes on the heels of the January purchase of Westech Vac Systems Ltd., another Canadian firm that manufactures pump trucks.<\/p>\n<p>For the full-year 2015, Federal Signal took in profits of $65.8 million, or $1.04 per share, which was 11 percent better than the $59.7 million, or 94 cents per share, it earned 2014. Total revenues fell by 1 percent from $779.1 million to $768 million.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: An Elgin street sweeper, made by Federal Signal, cleans a street in West Torrance, Calif.
