SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helios Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global industrial technology leader that develops and manufactures solutions for both the hydraulics and electronics markets, today reported financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date period ended September 28, 2019.
Wolfgang Dangel, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with revenue and the quality of earnings produced in both segments of our business during the third quarter, as we continue to experience economic softening in our end markets. We realized organic sales growth in our Hydraulics segment, which benefited from a solid order backlog. However, our Electronics segment sales were again impacted by challenging end markets and the effects of customer contract changes we made earlier this year. From a profitability perspective, we have established a flexible cost base throughout our organization and both segments effectively employed cost management initiatives, allowing us to generate a resilient adjusted EBITDA margin relative to our topline. In our Sun Hydraulics business, we incurred one-time organizational restructuring charges related to our offer of early retirement as well as a small reduction in force. These actions allow us to achieve a more agile and competitive cost structure going forward as well as align the talent of the organization with our future growth strategies. The restructuring initiative will provide fourth quarter savings of approximately $0.6 million, resulting in a $3.0 million to $3.5 million reduction in our total cost base for 2020.”
Mr. Dangel added, “In addition to our focus on costs, we continue to concentrate on cash flows. We realized free cash flow in excess of 15% during the quarter, bringing our year-to-date adjusted free cash flow to our target 10% level. We reduced debt by $27 million, bringing our net debt to adjusted EBITDA down to 2.3x, as we work toward our goal of less than 2x.”

Sales
- Acquisition related – $3.9 million
- Organic growth – $0.8 million, 1%, excluding the effect of currency
- Foreign currency translation on sales – $2.5 million unfavorable
Profits and margins
- Gross profit and margin drivers – Cost management efforts, offset by a change in the margin profile of products sold; last year included $2.1 million of acquisition inventory step-up amortization
- Selling, engineering and administrative (SEA) expenses – Decreased primarily due to cost reduction efforts and lower performance-based compensation; improved as a percent of sales
- Unusual items – $1.7 million organizational restructuring charges and $2.7 million loss on disposal of intangible asset unfavorably impacted current year operating income

Hydraulics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)
Segment sales of $110.1 million increased 6% over the prior-year third quarter. The $6.0 million increase included $3.9 million from the acquired CFP business and $4.4 million from organic sales, partially offset by $2.3 million from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Shipments continued to be strong in the Americas region with organic sales increasing 13%. The Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) region declined 4% and Asia/Pacific (APAC) region sales grew 3% organically, both excluding the $2.3 million effect of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Third quarter 2019 gross margin of 35.5% was down from the prior year’s 37.6% as unfavorable product mix and foreign currency exchange rates offset improvements from price increases, net of material cost increases.
SEA expenses in the 2019 third quarter included $0.8 million for the CFP business, partially offset by cost management efforts and lower performance-based compensation.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company incurred one-time costs of $1.7 million for early retirement and severance charges related to organizational restructuring and a $2.7 million loss on the disposal of an intangible asset from the termination of a technology licensing agreement.
Primarily due to the $4.4 million for restructuring charges and intangible asset disposal described above, third quarter operating income decreased $4.8 million to $17.9 million, representing 16.3% of sales, compared with 21.8% last year.
Year to date, segment sales grew $70.0 million, or 26%, to $340.3 million, compared with the 2018 period. The growth included $65.5 million of acquisition revenue contributed by Faster and CFP, and 4% organic growth excluding the $5.9 million impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Operating income for the year-to-date period was $65.8 million, or 19.3% of sales.
Electronics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)
Segment sales were $28.0 million for the 2019 third quarter, a 12% decrease compared with the third quarter of last year. The decline was primarily due to softer demand in recreational and oil and gas end markets as well as the impact of releasing contractual obligations to allow the Company to offer all products to a broader and more diversified customer base. Foreign currency translation had a $0.2 million unfavorable impact on segment sales in the quarter.
Third quarter 2019 gross margin was 46.4%, relatively consistent with 46.5% last year. Cost management efforts which resulted in production efficiencies drove the performance.
SEA costs decreased by $1.5 million in the quarter compared with last year due to the cost management efforts and lower performance-based compensation.
Operating income was $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $6.3 million in 2018, with the 2019 operating margin improving to 21.4% from 19.9% last year.
Year to date, segment sales were down 11% to $88.5 million, compared with the 2018 period. Foreign currency had a $0.5 million unfavorable impact. Despite the sales decline, operating income was $19.0 million, with the 2019 year-to-date operating margin improving to 21.5% from 20.2% last year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
Total debt was $318.3 million at September 28, 2019, down from $345.1 million at June 29, 2019 and $352.7 million at the end of 2018. Cash and cash equivalents at September 28, 2019 were $13.7 million after using available cash to reduce debt, compared with $13.3 million at June 29, 2019 and $23.5 million at December 29, 2018. The net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 2.3x at September 28, 2019.
Cash provided by operations was $50.9 million and $44.2 million in the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Year-to-date operating cash flow reached $61.6 million after considering the second quarter contingent consideration payment. The improvement was mainly due to improved cash from earnings and working capital management.
Capital expenditures were $19.6 million and $18.7 million in the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2019 are estimated to be $25 million to $28 million, in support of the Company’s ongoing investments to drive its innovative leadership.

Mr. Dangel noted, “We are updating our 2019 guidance given the further softening of most of our end markets globally. While we have backlog in our Hydraulics segment that will support fourth quarter sales, this will be offset by softening demand in specific end markets as well as mix issues that create reserve capacity continuing from past quarters. We will realize the results of our cost management efforts including the restructuring, but the lower revenue will reduce margins and net income. We will continue to monitor the economic climate and its impact on our business, further adjusting costs as needed. And, given our market positioning, we will be ready to react when our end markets do recover. As economic cycles are a normal part of business, we remain committed to the goals we established for Vision 2025.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are important for investors and other readers of Helios’s financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios’s management to better understand operating performance. Because adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
