MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (Donaldson or the Company) today reported fiscal first quarter 2023 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net earnings of $87.2 million, a 13.1% increase from $77.1 million in 2022. First quarter 2023 earnings include $7.6 million of charges related to the Company’s previously announced organizational redesign(1). GAAP and adjusted earnings per share (EPS)(2),(3) for the first quarter 2023 increased to $0.70 and $0.75, respectively, from $0.61 in the prior year. The tables attached to this press release include a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
“I am pleased with Donaldson’s first quarter earnings results which reflect the solid pricing and operational foundation our team built upon throughout fiscal 2022,” said Tod Carpenter, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “This quarter, we delivered solid results including strong incremental margins and free cash flow conversion driven by gross margin expansion and expense leverage. We also readied for future growth through the implementation of our organizational redesign and strategic investments including those in capacity, technology, and the scaling of our recent acquisitions.
“For the full year, we continue to forecast record sales and earnings as benefits from strong end-market demand, pricing pull through and pockets of inflationary leveling are balanced by currency headwinds and an uncertain macroeconomic environment. I am confident our execution and investments this year will support our commitment to our customers and shareholders well beyond fiscal 2023.”

(3) Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of certain items not related to ongoing operations.
Operating Results
First quarter 2023 sales increased 11.4% to $847.3 million from $760.9 million in 2022, driven by benefits from pricing and volume growth and partially offset by a negative impact from currency translation.

First quarter 2023 sales in the Engine Products segment (Engine) increased 14.7%, resulting primarily from pricing benefits, while economic conditions also remained favorable. Ongoing commercial aerospace demand for new equipment and replacement parts contributed to a 22.0% sales increase in Aerospace and Defense. Off-Road and On-Road sales increased 15.0% and 14.4%, respectively, supported by high levels of global equipment production. Strong vehicle utilization rates in all regions drove a 14.1% increase in Aftermarket sales.
First quarter Industrial Products segment (Industrial) sales rose 3.9%, with the majority of the growth stemming from pricing as well as, to a lesser extent, volume growth. Gas Turbine Systems (GTS) sales increased 53.3% as the prior year period was unseasonably soft due to the timing of orders. Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales, driven by industrial dust collection and strength in Process Filtration, grew 9.3% year over year. Special Applications sales declined 29.3% due to Disk Drive sales pressure from customer inventory management and a reduction in overall market demand.
First quarter gross margin was 33.9%, up 10 basis points versus 33.8% in the prior year period as continued pricing benefits offset elevated input costs.
First quarter 2023 operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.8%, including restructuring and related charges from the organizational redesign, versus 19.7% in the prior year. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 18.9%, an 80 basis point improvement from 2022 as a result of leverage on higher sales.
First quarter 2023 operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 14.1% was flat versus prior year and increased 90 basis points to 15.0% on an adjusted basis.
First quarter 2023 interest expense was $4.5 million compared with $3.4 million in the prior year due to higher interest rates. Other income, net was favorable by $1.8 million versus the prior year mainly due to the timing of donations. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 25.2% from 25.9% in 2022 due to an increase in net discrete tax benefits.
During the first quarter, Donaldson paid $28.2 million in dividends and repurchased 0.7% of its outstanding shares for $45.7 million.
Updated Fiscal 2023 Outlook
Fiscal 2023 full-year GAAP EPS is expected to be between $2.86 and $3.02, inclusive of $0.05 of first quarter restructuring and related charges. Adjusted EPS is forecast between $2.91 and $3.07. Sales are projected to increase between 1% to 5% over prior year, driven by a 6% increase in pricing and a negative impact from currency translation of approximately 5%.
Fiscal 2023 Engine sales are projected to increase between 1% and 5% compared with 2022, driven by Aftermarket and Aerospace and Defense sales strength with both business units forecast to be up mid-single digits. On-Road and Off-Road sales are expected to be approximately flat versus the prior year.
Fiscal 2023 Industrial sales are expected to increase between 1% and 5% compared with 2022. IFS sales are forecast to increase high-single digits, GTS is projected to grow low-single digits, and Special Applications sales for the full year are projected to be down mid-teens due to incremental Disk Drive sales weakness.
Fiscal 2023 GAAP operating margin is forecast to be between 14.3% and 14.9% and adjusted operating margin is expected to be between 14.5% and 15.1%. Prior year GAAP and adjusted operating margin were 13.4% and 13.5%, respectively.
Fiscal 2023 interest expense is projected to be approximately $18 million, and other income is expected to be between $6 million and $10 million. Donaldson expects a fiscal 2023 effective income tax rate of between 25% and 27%.
Fiscal 2023 capital expenditures are forecast to be between $115 million and $135 million and free cash flow conversion is expected to be between 110% and 125%. For the full year, Donaldson expects to repurchase approximately 2% of its shares outstanding.
Organizational Redesign
During the first quarter, Donaldson announced a broad organizational redesign aimed at better positioning the Company to serve its end-market customers. Once completed, the redesign is expected to allow Donaldson to more efficiently direct resources to strengthen commercial execution. Accordingly, the Company recorded $7.6 million of restructuring and related charges. Aligned with the new organizational structure, effective November 1, 2022, the Company’s reportable segments are Mobile Solutions, Industrial Solutions, and Life Sciences.

Note: The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchanges rates and compares these adjusted amounts to its prior period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. |

Note: Although free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly used measure of a company’s ability to generate cash in excess of its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating earnings less non-cash expenses. The adjusted basis presentation excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjusted basis presentation reflects management’s performance in operating the Company and provides a meaningful representation of the performance of the Company’s core business and is useful to understanding its financial results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is that they do not reflect the Company’s actual results under GAAP. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. |
