CFRA board is taking with this hire and think the board has realized the dismaying effects

Opinion Lowered On Shares of Lennox International

U.S.
04/22/2019

• CFRA CUTS VIEW ON SHARES OF LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC. (LII 268 **) TO SELL
FROM HOLD: Our 12-month target price remains at $240, 19.4x our '19 EPS estimate, below
LII's three-year average forward P/E of 21.0x but above peers' average forward P/E of 17.4x.
We increase our '19 EPS estimate by $0.08 to $12.38, while maintaining our '20 EPS
forecast at $12.75. LII posts Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.68 vs. $1.13, $0.25 above consensus;
sales beat consensus by nearly 1%. Comparable sales increased YoY by 1% (including a
negative 5% impact from a tornado that struck an Iowa facility in July '18) and sales rose 2%
in constant currency. Although we think LII will regain some of the market share the company
lost from the downtime at its Iowa facility, we expect a more competitive pricing environment,
while higher commodity, freight and labor costs should remain margin headwinds throughout
'19, in our view. We think LII is a strong operator and our downgrade to Sell is mostly driven
by relative valuation and underlying concerns about North American housing markets.

• CFRA MAINTAINS BUY OPINION ON SHARES OF SAIPEM SPA (SPM IM, EUR4.67 ****):
We keep our 12-month target price on Saipem at EUR5.5 which represents a consensus
EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.1x. This is below peer average of 11.0x which is justified in our view
by the company's lower return on invested capital. Saipem's 1Q 2019 result was ahead of
expectation. Adjusted EBITDA came in at EUR274 million, 14% ahead of consensus
forecast. Order book momentum was solid with new contracts more than doubled YoY to
EUR2.5 billion, implying a book-to-bill ratio of around 1.2x. With EUR5.4 billion of contracts
on hand due for execution in 2019, we think the company is well on track to achieve its

revenue target of EUR9 billion for the year. Moreover, Saipem also announced that it has

settled the South Stream dispute following the earnings release; this further alleviates its
legal risks. With an additional EUR28 billion worth of projects due for sanction in 2019, we
continue to see a solid bidding pipeline and thus we maintain our Buy call on the stock. /J.

Are Drug Prices To Blame For Rising U.S. Health Care Costs?
APRIL 23, 2019
APRIL 23, 2019

04/22/2019

• As Democratic presidential candidates have started announcing their campaigns, we've seen
a growing public focus on health care in the U.S., a rising cost and concern for many
Americans. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) projected that national
health spending will grow 0.8% faster than GDP per year over the 2018-2027 period,

2 OF 8
resulting in an increase in the total health care spending as a percentage of GDP to 19.4% by
2027 from 17.9% in 2018.

• The rapid pace at which health care costs have been growing has not gone unnoticed by
Americans. According to research by the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation ("KFF"), between
2007 and 2018, growth of the average premium and deductible for single covered workers
significantly outpaced real wage growth. In addition, the share of covered workers in health
plans with a deductible increased from 59% in 2008 to 78% in 2013 and to 85% in 2018.
