Actuant Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

Actuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announced results for its fiscal 2019 third quarter ended May 31, 2019.

“We are pleased with the continued strong performance of our IT&S segment, which was driven by solid product sales in North America and very strong service sales in the Middle East and North Sea. Despite challenging year-over-year comparisons, this quarter marks five consecutive quarters of total core growth and seven quarters of core product sales growth within the consolidated IT&S business. We continue to take actions to enhance growth and profitability, including driving new product development and executing on our previously announced restructuring actions,” commented Randy Baker, Actuant’s President and CEO.

Mr. Baker continued, “Our results this quarter reflect the solid execution of our growth and profitability plans resulting from the hard work of our teams around the world. I appreciate their incredible dedication, which has been instrumental in getting us to where we are today. We are well positioned to become a top-tier industrial tools and services company, and we have a bright future ahead of us.”

    • Net benefit of $9.9 million, or $0.16 per share after tax, related to an impairment and divestiture benefit, along with a depreciation/amortization true-up resulting from Cortland assets being reclassified into assets held for use, partially offset by EC&S divestiture costs;
    • Restructuring charges of $1.1 million, $0.7 million benefit net of tax ($0.01 per share) related to the previously announced IT&S restructuring;
    • $5.4 million ($0.09 per share) of charges primarily related to an adjustment to the original provision for U.S. tax reform; and
    • Debt issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the modification of our revolving credit facilities in the third quarter.
  • Fiscal 2018 third quarter earnings included restructuring charges of $1.2 million (benefit of $0.2 million and no EPS impact, after tax) and a $4.9 million ($0.09 per share) benefit related to an adjustment to the original provision for U.S. tax reform.
  • Excluding impairment, other divestiture and restructuring charges, adjusted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $0.45, compared to $0.39 in the comparable prior year period (see attached reconciliation of earnings).
  • Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2019 were $859.7 million, compared to $881.2 million in the prior year period.

million in the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

  • Third quarter fiscal 2019 IT&S segment net sales were $166.7 million, 5% higher than the prior year. Core sales increased 8%, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by 4% year-over-year, and acquisitions added 1%.
  • Solid top line growth in both product and service resulted from the continued strength of our end markets and the impact of our prior commercial investments. The Middle East experienced double digit top line growth in product and service and North America experienced solid product sales.
  • Adjusted operating profit improved as a result of increased sales volume and continued product margin expansion.

(2) The third quarter of fiscal 2019 excludes a net $10.6 million impairment and divestiture benefit,
along with $1.7 million of depreciation/amortization true-up related to Cortland assets being
reclassified into assets held for use. The third quarter of 2018 excludes $0.1 million of restructuring
charges. The nine months ended May 31, 2019 excludes restructuring charges of $0.4 million,
impairment and other divestiture charges of $32.7 million and $1.7 million of
depreciation/amortization true-up also related to Cortland assets being reclassified into assets held
for use. The nine months ended May 31, 2018 excludes restructuring charges of $3.8 million and
$3.0 million of impairment and other divestiture charges.

  • Third quarter fiscal 2019 EC&S net sales were $128.5 million, a 19% decrease from the prior year. The divestiture of Precision-Hayes International and Cortland Fibron resulted in a decrease in net sales of $21.7 million (14%) and the strengthening of the US dollar reduced net sales an additional 3%.
  • Core sales were down 2% due to weather-related challenges in the U.S. agriculture market along with softening in the U.S. frac and European truck markets.
  • Adjusted operating profit margin improved due to pricing, operating efficiencies and lower incentive compensation expense.

Corporate Expenses and Income Taxes (excluding restructuring, debt-issuance and one-time tax items)

  • Corporate expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were $6.8 million, $1.3 million lower than the comparable prior year period, primarily resulting from decreased incentive compensation expense.
  • The third quarter effective income tax rate of approximately 15% was in line with expectations but higher than the prior year rate of 9%.

  • Net debt at May 31, 2019 was approximately $274 million (total debt of $475 million less $201 million of cash), which decreased approximately $57.5 million from the end of fiscal 2018 and $77 million from third quarter of fiscal 2018. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.8x at May 31, 2019.

Outlook for Q4 2019

The company provides the following updated outlook for its fourth quarter 2019:

  • Annual sales: $1.125 to $1.135 billion, with annual core sales growth between 2% and 3%;
  • Full year adjusted EBITDA: $151 to $155 million;
  • Full year adjusted EPS: $1.15 to $1.21;
  • Full year free cash flow: $62 to $70 million;
  • Fourth quarter sales: $265 to $275 million;
  • Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA: $38 to $42 million; and
  • Fourth quarter adjusted EPS: $0.25 to $0.31.

Mr. Baker said, “Our outlook for the year reflects the continued positive fundamentals of the IT&S business and its solid end-markets, offset by some softness in several EC&S end-markets. Looking forward, we are excited about the IT&S opportunities we see to drive growth and operate even more efficiently as we execute our strategies to deliver enhanced value for shareholders.”

All guidance excludes restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges, one-time tax adjustments and the impact of potential future acquisitions, dispositions, share repurchases and tariffs.

EC&S Divestiture Process

As previously announced, the Company intends to solely focus on the IT&S segment and pursue a standalone strategy as a pure play industrial tools and services company. To achieve its objective, the Company initiated a process to unlock value of the remaining EC&S segment and enhance long-term value for its shareholders through a potential divestiture of the segment.

The process continues and the Company will comment on or provide updates regarding these matters (including the status of the divestiture) only when the Company determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required. No assurance can be given that any transaction will result from the EC&S sale process or as to its timing.

Conference Call Information

An investor conference call is scheduled for 10am CT today, June 26, 2019. Webcast information and conference call materials will be made available on the Actuant company website (www.actuant.com) prior to the start of the call.

Among other risks and factors, Actuant’s results are subject to general economic conditions, variation in demand from customers, the impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, continued market acceptance of the Company’s new product introductions, the successful integration of acquisitions, restructuring, operating margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material and labor cost increases, tax reform, foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate risk.

They include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Profit, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. This press release includes reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, including in the tables attached to this press release.

FOOTNOTES

NOTE:

The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to rounding.
 

(1)

Approximately $0.8 million of Q2 fiscal 2018 restructuring charges were recorded in cost of products sold. De minimis restructuring charges were also recorded in cost of products sold in Q3 fiscal 2018.
 

(2)

Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Actuant companies. The total of the individual components may not equal due to rounding.
 

(3)

EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) before financing costs, net, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation & amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), operating profit (loss) or operating cash flows. Actuant has presented EBITDA because it regularly reviews this performance measure. In addition, EBITDA is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

FOOTNOTES

NOTE:

Management does not provide guidance on GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included above only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
