ESCO Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

- Q2 GAAP EPS $0.64 and Adjusted EPS $0.65 - Q2 Sales increase 23.5% to $205 Million - $236 Million in Q2 Orders / Book-to-bill of 1.15x -


St. Louis, May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) (ESCO, or the Company) today reported its operating results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2022 (Q2 2022) compared to the second quarter ended March 31, 2021 (Q2 2021).

Operating Highlights

  • Q2 2022 GAAP EPS was $0.64 per share compared to $0.59 in Q2 2021. Q2 2022 Adjusted EPS increased $0.09 per share (16 percent) to $0.65 per share compared to $0.56 per share in Q2 2021.
  • Q2 2022 Sales of $204.9 million increased $39.0 million (23.5 percent) compared to Q2 2021. Organic sales increased $27.3 million (16.5 percent) and recent acquisitions contributed $11.7 million (7.0 percent) of revenue in the quarter.
  • Q2 2022 Entered Orders increased $60.2 million (34 percent) over the prior year period to $236.5 million (book-to-bill of 1.15x), resulting in record ending backlog of $671 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $23 million YTD 2022. Operating cash flow was negatively impacted by higher inventories to support record backlogs, supply chain challenges that reduced manufacturing output, and the timing of milestone payments.  
  • Net debt (total borrowings less cash on hand) was $142 million, resulting in a 1.27x leverage ratio and $546 million in liquidity at March 31, 2022.

Vic Richey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our global team delivered strong orders, sales, and earnings growth in Q2. I was particularly pleased to see increased activity from our North American utility customers drive revenue growth and margin improvement in our USG segment. In A&D, it was also encouraging to see our Q2 commercial aerospace revenue at the highest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Overall, the combination of meaningful organic growth and the contribution of recent acquisitions helped us deliver record Q2 revenue of $205 million and 16 percent growth in Adjusted EPS.

“The quarter was not without its challenges, as supply chain issues and wage and material cost inflation continue to present headwinds. Our teams continue to work diligently to navigate supply chain issues and implement price increases to offset the impacts of inflation.   These actions enabled us to exceed earnings expectations in the quarter. It is through the hard work and dedication of our employees that we were able overcome these economic disruptions to support our customers and deliver meaningfully improved operating results.

“We continue to see strong entered orders across our commercial aerospace, electric utility, renewables and Test end-markets. Our year-to-date orders of $461 million are up 38% over the prior year, resulting in record backlog which gives us confidence in our ability to deliver our stated revenue and earnings goals for 2022. Our end-market exposure is favorable and we are well-positioned to deliver profitable long-term growth and shareholder value as market demand continues to recover.”

Segment Performance

Aerospace & Defense (A&D)

  • Sales increased $2.3 million (3 percent) to $84.8 million in Q2 2022 from $82.5 million in Q2 2021. Commercial aerospace sales increased $7.2 million (30 percent) to $31 million, partially offset by lower Navy and industrial sales at VACCO compared to the prior year quarter.  
  • EBIT decreased $2.7 million in Q2 2022 to $14.3 million from $17.0 million in Q2 2021. Adjusted EBIT decreased $2.5 million in Q2 2022 to $14.5 million (17.1 percent margin) from $17.0 million (20.7 percent margin) in Q2 2021. The decrease in margin was driven by lower revenue at VACCO and unfavorable product mix in the aerospace business.   We expect A&D’s continuing order strength and record backlog to drive revenue growth and margin expansion in the second half of the year.
  • Entered Orders were $95 million in Q2 2022 (book-to-bill of 1.11x) compared to $88 million in Q2 2021. The order strength was driven by the continuing recovery of commercial aerospace, the 737 production ramp, increased MRO activity, and business jet orders. The 7 percent increase in orders over the prior year quarter resulted in ending backlog of $397 million.

Utility Solutions Group (USG)

  • Sales increased $24.6 million (62 percent) to $64.2 million in Q2 2022 from $39.6 million in Q2 2021. Doble organic sales increased $12.4 million (39.0 percent) as demand from North American utility customers rebounded sharply.   In addition, Phenix and Altanova contributed $10.4 million in revenue and NRG sales increased $1.8 million (23 percent) as the strength in the renewables end-market continues.   
  • EBIT increased $4.6 million in Q2 2022 to $11.3 million from $6.7 million in Q2 2021. Adjusted EBIT increased $5.8 million in Q2 2022 to $11.3 million (17.7 percent margin) from $5.5 million (13.8 percent margin) in Q2 2021. The margin increase was primarily driven by leverage on higher revenue and price increases, partially offset by wage and material cost inflation and expenses related to the return of trade shows and customer events.
  • Entered Orders were $86 million in Q2 2022 (book-to-bill of 1.35x). Orders increased $43 million (98 percent) over the prior year quarter and resulted in ending backlog of $117 million. Doble core electric utility orders increased $27 million (76 percent) reflecting broad strength across the product portfolio, including a large long-term contract for upgraded Doble Universal Controller™ (DUC) hardware and service, protection testing orders, and service contract renewals. Phenix and Altanova added $13 million, and NRG renewables orders increased $3 million (40 percent) compared to the prior year.

Test

  • Sales increased $12.1 million (28 percent) to $55.9 million in Q2 2022 from $43.8 million in Q2 2021, due to increased volume related to medical shielding, power filters, and test and measurement projects in the U.S and China.
  • EBIT increased $2.8 million in Q2 2022 to $8.5 million (15.2 percent margin) from $5.7 million (13.0 percent margin) in Q2 2021.   The increase in profitability was driven by higher volume and price increases, which more than offset material cost and wage inflation.
  • Entered Orders were $55 million in Q2 2022 (book-to-bill of .99x) compared to $44 million in Q2 2021. The order growth was driven by domestic medical shielding and global demand for test and measurement projects.   The $11 million (25 percent) increase in Q2 2022 orders resulted in an ending backlog of $157 million.

Business Outlook – 2022
Management’s expectations for 2022 remain consistent with the details outlined in our November 18, 2021 release.  Our 2022 guidance represents meaningful growth in sales, Adjusted EBIT, and Adjusted EBITDA across each of the Company’s business segments.

Our year-to-date results have generally matched our expectations as presented in November. Consistent with prior years and our November guidance, our revenue and earnings will be more second half weighted and reflect a significant ramp compared to the first half of the year. With solid backlog driving revenue growth and improving margins, we are on track to deliver our stated goal for the year of adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.10 to $3.20. Our expectation is for Q3 Adjusted EPS in the range of $0.84 to $0.91 per share, representing growth of 25 to 35 percent over the prior year.

Investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and speak only as of the date of this release, and the Company undertakes no duty to update them except as may be required by applicable laws or regulations. The Company’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment including but not limited to those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021; the availability and acceptance of viable COVID-19 vaccines by enough of the U.S. and world’s population to curtail the pandemic; the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of known or unknown COVID-19 variants including labor shortages, facility closures, shelter in place policies or quarantines, material shortages, transportation delays, termination or delays of Company contracts, and the inability of our suppliers or customers to perform; the impacts of Executive Order 14042 and other vaccine mandates on our employees and businesses; the impacts of natural disasters on the Company’s operations and those of the Company’s customers and suppliers; the timing and content of future contract awards or customer orders; the appropriation, allocation and availability of Government funds; the termination for convenience of Government and other customer contracts or orders; weakening of economic conditions in served markets; the success of the Company’s competitors; changes in customer demands or customer insolvencies; competition; intellectual property rights; technical difficulties; the success of the Company’s acquisition efforts; delivery delays or defaults by customers; performance issues with key customers, suppliers and subcontractors; changes in the costs and availability of certain raw materials; labor disputes; changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations; other changes in laws and regulations including but not limited to changes in accounting standards and foreign taxation; changes in interest rates; costs relating to environmental matters arising from current or former facilities; uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of current disputes, claims, litigation or arbitration; and the integration of recently acquired businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial measures EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are presented in this press release. The Company defines “EBIT” as earnings before interest and taxes, “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, “Adjusted EBIT” and “Adjusted EBITDA” as excluding the net impact of the items described in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials Measures, and “Adjusted EPS” as GAAP earnings per share (EPS) excluding the net impact of the items described and reconciled in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which were ($0.01) per share in Q2 2022.

EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Management believes EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in assessing the operational profitability of the Company’s business segments because they exclude interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which are generally accounted for across the entire Company on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by Management in determining resource allocations within the Company as well as incentive compensation. The presentation of EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS provides important supplemental information to investors by facilitating comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. The use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to replace any measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.
