MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE:ZWS):
First Quarter Highlights
- Net sales in the quarter were $374 million compared with $372 million in last year’s March quarter (core sales(1) were flat inclusive of a 400 basis point impact from executed product line exits).
- Net income from continuing operations was $34 million (diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.19) compared with net income from continuing operations of $23 million (diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.13) in the year-ago quarter.
- Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.29 compared with $0.18 in the year-ago quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $90 million (24.1% of net sales) compared with $72 million (19.5% of net sales) in last year's first quarter.
- Net debt leverage(1) of 0.9x as of March 31, 2024.
- Deployed $19 million to repurchase 0.6 million shares of common stock in the quarter.
Todd A. Adams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a solid start to the year as our first quarter growth, profitability, and free cash flow(1) each exceeded our expectations heading into the quarter. Our first quarter pro forma core(1) growth of 4% tracked modestly ahead of what we thought, with the benefits of some of our strategic growth initiatives positively impacting our growth with underlying market conditions performing very much in line with our expectations. From a profitability perspective, our adjusted EBITDA(1) grew 24% year over year and our margin of 24.1% improved by 460 basis points over the prior year. These first quarter margins are reflective of the new, higher baseline we expect to deliver from moving forward as a result of the synergies realized from the Elkay combination and the compounding benefits we capture through the deployment of the Zurn Elkay Business System day in and day out. With a strong start to the year of $50 million in free cash flow(1), we repurchased $19 million of shares in the quarter while leaving ourselves significant balance sheet optionality as our net debt leverage(1) ended at an all-time low of 0.9x.”
"In February we published our 2023 Sustainability Report. Sustainability is inherently linked to our business and at the core of it is our role as a water steward and helping our customers advance and achieve their sustainability goals. The 2023 report highlights our progress against nearly two dozen existing targets and establishes new targets for air emissions, employee training, and waste reduction. We are committed and excited to build on the momentum we have around sustainability as a company.”
Second Quarter Outlook
“Based on demand trends as we exited the first quarter and the month of April, we believe net sales for the second quarter will be up low single digits on a pro forma core(1) basis and adjusted EBITDA(1) margin will be between 24.5% and 25.0%. For the full year outlook we continue to have confidence in our ability to drive growth in 2024 and deliver $250 million of free cash flow(1). We are increasing our full year adjusted EBITDA(1) margin expectation to now deliver approximately 150 bps to 200 bps of year over year adjusted EBITDA(1) margin expansion."
First Quarter 2024 Overview
Net sales were $373.8 million and $372.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, an increase of 0.5% year over year. Core sales(1) were flat year over year as core sales(1) growth across nearly all product categories was offset by the 400 basis point impact from the planned exit of certain residential sink products.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, income from operations was $53.2 million compared to $43.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased by 250 basis points year over year due to the benefits resulting from productivity synergies and restructuring actions related to the Elkay Merger, as well as lower material and transportation costs, partially offset by higher restructuring expense year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $90.0 million, or 24.1% of net sales, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $72.4 million, or 19.5% of net sales, during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(1) Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of this non-GAAP metric, as well as the accompanying reconciliations to GAAP. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
Core Sales
Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control. Further, management uses "pro forma core sales", defined as reported sales less the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, foreign currency translation, and product line exits, as a measure of our financial performance that is more relevant when evaluating us against peers.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, the adjustment to state inventories at last-in first-out costs, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are based on a transaction specific basis. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. In view of our debt level, it is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is the term we use to describe Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA (which includes a full pro forma last-twelve-month impact of acquisitions), or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as “incremental margin” in the case of an increase in net sales or “decremental margin” in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, and we use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. We define Free Cash Flow Conversion as Free Cash Flow divided by net income.
Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”)
ROIC is used because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of financial performance and it is also currently a performance measure under our long-term incentive plan. ROIC is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. ROIC is also used by investors and analysts to evaluate management’s deployment of capital to create shareholder value. We define ROIC as tax-effected net operating income for the last 12 months divided by average total invested capital over a rolling four-quarter period. Total invested capital is defined as shareholders equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way.
