"A. O. Smith delivered strong performance in the first quarter driven by resilient water heater demand and lower year-over-year steel costs. China sales aligned with our expectations and improved sequentially throughout the quarter," noted Kevin J. Wheeler, chairman and chief executive officer. "I am pleased with the outstanding performance of the global team to meet customer demand and deliver strong results."
First quarter adjusted earnings of $142.5 million and adjusted EPS of $0.94 exclude a non-cash impairment charge of $15.6 million related to the company's committed plan to sell its business in Turkey. Of the $15.6 million impairment charge, $12.5 million was recorded in the Rest of World segment and $3.1 million was recorded in corporate expenses.
Segment-level Performance
North America
First Quarter 2023
Record first quarter sales of $752.7 million increased 3% compared to first quarter sales in the prior year due to higher commercial and residential water heater volumes that were partially offset by lower pricing.
Segment earnings were $188.6 million, an increase of 24% compared to segment earnings in the first quarter of last year. Segment operating margin was 25.1% in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 430 basis points compared to the prior year. The higher segment earnings and segment operating margin were primarily due to higher volumes of commercial and residential water heaters and lower steel costs. Adjusted segment earnings of $154.4 million and adjusted segment margin of 21.1% in the first quarter of 2022 exclude pre-tax, non-operating pension expenses of $2.6 million.
Rest of World
First Quarter 2023
Rest of World sales of $219.1 million decreased 14% year-over-year, including an unfavorable currency translation impact of approximately $17 million. In local currency, segment sales decreased by approximately 8% year-over-year. The decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2023 was driven by lower consumer demand in China due to COVID-19-related headwinds. Sales in India increased 28% in local currency in the first quarter of 2023.
Segment earnings of $5.3 million and segment operating margin of 2.4% decreased significantly compared with the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the impairment charge of $12.5 million associated with the company's committed plan to sell its business in Turkey. Adjusted segment earnings of $17.8 million decreased 28% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted segment operating margin of 8.1% decreased 160 basis points primarily due to lower volumes in China partially offset by lower selling costs.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
As of March 31, 2023, cash and marketable securities balances totaled $496.0 million and debt totaled $340.8 million, resulting in a leverage ratio of 16.0% as measured by total debt-to-total capitalization.
Cash provided by operations was $119.9 million and free cash flow was $109.2 million in the first three months of 2023, which increased year-over-year driven by higher earnings and a more favorable working capital contribution primarily related to lower inventory levels and incentive payments.
As part of its commitment to return capital to shareholders, the Company repurchased 821,000 shares at a cost of $53.1 million through March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, authority remained to repurchase approximately 7.1 million additional shares. The Company has raised its outlook for its share repurchase and now expects to spend $300 million repurchasing shares in 2023, an increase of $100 million compared to its previous outlook.
On April 10, 2023, the Company's board of directors approved a $0.30 per share dividend for shareholders of record on April 28, payable on May 15, marking 83 consecutive years of dividend payments. For the full release, click here.

"We are very pleased with our start to 2023, particularly in North America water heating, where we believe that we outperformed the market, and our price cost relationship resulted in a first quarter operating margin that was stronger than our full year expectations. We have recently seen a meaningful rise in the steel index prices which will translate into higher input costs and put pressure on water heater margins in the second half of the year. In commercial water heating, the strong start to the year was a combination of resilient demand and a comparison to a weak first quarter last year in the commercial electric product category. China's reopening after the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted has occurred as expected so far and we are encouraged by sequential month-over-month demand improvement," stated Wheeler. "Our revised outlook for the full year 2023 projects our sales to be flat year-over-year at the mid-point, +/- 2%. We raised our expected full year adjusted EPS to be between $3.30 and $3.50, an 8% year-over-year increase at the mid-point."
"We believe our strong balance sheet and free cash flow continue to provide us the liquidity to focus on our capital allocation priorities of organic growth, dividends, acquisitions and share repurchases, which we believe will enable us to execute our strategy to invest and grow profitably."
The Company's guidance excludes the potential impacts from future acquisitions.

To provide improved transparency into the operating results of its business, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP measures: total segment earnings, free cash flow, adjusted earnings, adjusted segment earnings and adjusted corporate expenses.

Reconciliations from GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided in the financial information included in this news release.
