  • Updating 2024 outlook to reflect weaker end market conditions plus hurricane impacts; Remain focused on working capital management, operational efficiencies, cost discipline, and reducing debt

SARASOTA, Fla.--()--Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2024.

“The Helios team delivered solid results in line with our outlook for the quarter while we provided exceptional products, services and solutions to our customers, and drove operational efficiencies with strong cash management. These efforts contributed to the measurable margin expansion in the quarter. Our focus on inventory management helped us reach an inventory level we have not achieved since January 2023. This consistent reduction in inventory, operational efficiencies, and strong cash generation enabled us to reduce debt for the fifth consecutive quarter while we continued to improve our net debt leverage ratio. I believe we are a better, even more financially disciplined business than we were a year ago and expect that to be more evident as market conditions improve,” said Sean Bagan, Interim President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of Helios.

“Facing three straight storms, including a direct hit to Sarasota with Hurricane Milton, our team’s strength was tested. Between the storms, we lost over 18 production shifts across our multiple manufacturing facilities in Florida. It has been amazing to watch our global teams come together and show extraordinary support for one another. I saw resilience, dedication, and energy in the Helios team that is driven by a connectedness and engagement more powerful than I have ever witnessed before. Our speed of recovery from these uncontrollable factors has been made possible by the dedicated efforts of our employees, the support of our customers, and the strength of our community. We made excellent progress on many fronts even in the face of natural disasters, increasing softness in market conditions, and higher hydraulic distributor inventory levels. We believe the underlying fundamentals of this business are solid which are reflected through improved profitability metrics even with lower volumes. As the markets strengthen, we will have a more efficient business that can deliver strong earnings power. In the meantime, we must temper our expectations to reflect the current market conditions and operational disruptions. Consequently, we have updated our outlook for the year accordingly,” Mr. Bagan concluded.

* Adjusted numbers are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Sales

  • Changes in Market Mix: Compared with the prior-year period, Electronics segment revenue declined 6% as the Health & Wellness market growth did not fully offset weakness in recreational, industrial, and mobile markets; Hydraulics sales were down 2% primarily reflecting the weakness in the agriculture market. Compared with the second quarter 2024, the Electronics segment declined 12% and the Hydraulics segment revenue declined 11%.
  • By Region: sales in Asia Pacific ("APAC”) grew 16% while there was an 11% decline in the Americas and a 3% decline in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) compared with the year ago period. Compared with the second quarter 2024, APAC declined 5% and Americas declined 12%, and EMEA was down 17%.
  • Other Impacts: foreign currency (FX) translation favorably impacted sales by $0.6 million in the third quarter 2024.

Profits and margins

  • Gross profit and margin impacts: gross profit increased $0.8 million compared with the year ago period and gross margin expanded 150 basis points as the impact of lower volume was offset by lower material costs, reductions in variable overhead and favorable foreign currency impacts of $0.2. Compared with the second quarter 2024, gross profit declined $10.1 million, or 14%.
  • Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: SEA declined $7.3 million, or 19% compared with the year ago period reflecting lower payroll and benefit costs and a cost adjustment from lower stock based compensation expense from officer transition.
  • Amortization of intangible assets: $7.9 million down 4% compared with the year ago period as some intangibles have become fully amortized since the comparable period.

Non-operating items

  • Net interest expense: up $0.3 million compared with the year ago period. The year ago period interest expense benefited $1.8 million from a recognized gain on an interest rate swap agreement.
  • Effective tax rate: of 14.2% compared with 30.5% in the year ago period. The year-to-date provision was 20.3% and 23.8% of pretax income for 2024 and 2023, respectively. These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which we sell our products. The change in the comparable prior-year quarter and year-to-date is primarily due to an overall increase in discrete tax benefits driven by the officer transition in July 2024.

Net income, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), Non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA margin

  • GAAP net income: grew $7.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with the year ago period. Compared with second quarter 2024, net income declined $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
  • Diluted Non-GAAP EPS: increased $0.15, or over 34% compared with the year ago period primarily the result of strong cost discipline, operational efficiencies, lower payroll and benefits costs, lower stock based compensation costs, and cost take out measures. Compared with second quarter of 2024, diluted non-GAAP EPS declined $0.05, or 8%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin: expanded 320 basis points compared with the year ago period reflecting the improvements discussed earlier.

Third Quarter 2024 Hydraulics Segment Review

  • Sales: higher sales in APAC partially offset the declines in EMEA and Americas, resulting in a 2% year over year decline in segment sales. The decline in sales in the third quarter was primarily driven by softness in the agriculture end market, while industrial and mobile end markets were up compared to the prior year period. FX had a favorable $0.6 million impact on sales. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, sales declined 11% driven on general weakness across all end markets.
  • Gross profit and margin drivers: modestly lower gross profit was on lower sales while gross margin expanded 50 bps primarily from reduced overhead expenses compared with the year ago period. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, gross profit declined 9% while gross margin expanded 80 bps primarily due to lower material costs.
  • Operating income and operating margin: higher operating income of $24.2 million grew 32% and operating margin expanded 480 bps, compared with the year ago period due to the gross margin improvement and lower SEA expenses from lower payroll and benefit costs and the cost adjustment as previously described. Compared with the second quarter 2024, operating income increased 1% and margin expanded 230 basis points.

Third Quarter 2024 Electronics Segment Review

  • Sales: increased demand in APAC and EMEA helped to partially offset the decline in the Americas resulting in a 6% year over year decline in segment sales. Higher sales in health and wellness partially offset continued softness in recreational, industrial, and mobile end markets compared with the year ago period. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, sales were down 12% primarily due to normal patterns in health and wellness and continued weakness across other end markets.
  • Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased 5% as lower volume was offset by a decrease in material costs. Margin expansion of 330 bps compared with the year ago period as lower material costs partially offset the impact of a higher mix of revenue in products with a lower margin profile and slightly lower leverage of fixed costs. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, gross profit declined $6.1 million and gross margin contracted 450 bps primarily due to lower volumes and lower leverage of fixed costs.
  • Operating income and operating margin: the growth in operating income of 62% and expansion of operating margin of 430 bps, compared with the year ago period due to the improvement in gross margin and lower SEA expenses from lower payroll and benefit costs and the cost adjustment as previously described. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, operating income declined $3.5 million or 34% and margin contracted 350 bps driven primarily by leverage from lower sales volume.

Strengthening Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Financial Flexibility

  • Net cash provided by operations: Generated $34.8 million in the third quarter 2024, up 195% compared with $11.8 million in the year ago period.
  • Continued debt reduction: total debt at quarter-end was $483.4 million down 11% from $544.5 million at September 30, 2023 and down 4% sequentially.
  • Cash and cash equivalents: as of September 28, 2024, were $46.7 million, up 4% sequentially from the second quarter 2024 and up 33% compared with the year ago period.
  • Inventory: continued to decline to $199.2 million, down $7.1 million or 3%, from the second quarter of 2024 and down 7%, or $15.9 million, from the end of 2023. The continued decline in inventory levels reflects disciplined financial management with the intent to accelerate cash conversion rates.
  • Net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio: improved to 2.8x at quarter end compared with 3.0x at the end of the second quarter 2024. At the end of the third quarter 2024, the Company had $325.3 million available on its revolving lines of credit.
  • Capital expenditures: were $6.0 million in the third quarter 2024, or 3.0% of sales and relatively flat with the year ago period.
  • Dividends: Paid 111th consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share on October 21, 2024, a history of over 27 consecutive years of dividends.

Updating Full Year 2024 Outlook:

Mr. Bagan continued, “While our third quarter results were within our expected range, the impact of growing distributor inventory levels and weakening end markets combined with 18 lost manufacturing shifts from three hurricanes, we are judiciously updating our outlook for the remainder of the year. Despite lower full year sales volumes compared with last year, the midpoint of our range implies a steady adjusted EBITDA margin. We remain focused on protecting our margins through operational efficiencies and disciplined cost control. We have made good progress in working capital management and debt repayment year to date and expect to have continued opportunities for improvement there. Over the last few years, we have diversified our customer base as well as end markets which should benefit us, especially as markets recover.”

The following provides the Company’s expectations for 2024 as of November 5, 2024. This assumes constant currency, using quarter end rates, and that markets served are not further impacted by the macroeconomic or the geopolitical environment.

Helios has presented non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency. Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these Non-GAAP measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income recognized in a given period. You should not consider the inclusion of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please carefully review the Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

This news release also presents forward-looking statements regarding Non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income per diluted share. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s 2024 financial results. These Non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

(A) Acquisition and financing-related expenses include costs associated with our M&A activities. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the charges include $0.1 and $0.7 of other miscellaneous M&A costs, respectively.

(B) Restructuring activities include activities within our Hydraulics segment related to the creation of our two new Regional Operational Centers of Excellence ("CoE") which are nearing completion with work expected to be completed in 2024. We also continue to add capabilities and activities to our recently expanded Tijuana, Mexico facility to support our Electronics segment. Initial efforts have focused on circuit board assembly and wire harness production. We have also recently initiated some restructuring activities to better optimize our European regional operations. We are transitioning some manufacturing of manifolds and integrated package assembly to our Roncolo, Italy location. These activities include in part the transferring of equipment and operations between facilities. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the charges include non-recurring labor costs of $0.8 and $2.3 million and manufacturing relocation and other costs of $0.5 and $2.1 million, respectively.

(C) Acquisition integration activities include costs associated with integrating our recently acquired businesses, which can occur up to 18 months after acquisition date. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months ended and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the costs totaled $0.0 and $0.3 million, respectively.

(D) Amortization of intangible assets presented here includes $0.5 and $1.1 million for capitalized software development costs included within cost of sales in the income statement for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Forward-looking Financial Measures:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share disclosed above in our 2024 Outlook, to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the Non-GAAP financial measures in future periods.
