Graham Corporation Reports Fiscal 2019 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM), a global business that designs, manufactures and sells critical equipment for the oil refining, petrochemical, power and defense industries, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”).

Net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $23.6 million, up 7% compared with the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”). Net loss in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter was $4.6 million, or $0.46 loss per diluted share. Excluding non-cash charges for goodwill and intangible and other long-lived asset impairments, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, both of which are non-GAAP measures, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $0.8 million, and $0.08, respectively. Net income and earnings per share (“EPS”) in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter were $0.8 million and $0.09, respectively. Excluding the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax reform legislation passed in December 2017, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, both of which are non-GAAP measures, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were $0.6 million and $0.07, respectively. Refer to the Company’s disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP measures later in this release.

Net sales for fiscal 2019 were $91.8 million, up 18% compared with $77.5 million in fiscal 2018. Fiscal 2019 net loss was $0.3 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $9.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018. Excluding unusual charges, adjusted net income for fiscal 2019 was $5.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018, all on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to the Company’s disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP measures later in this release.

James R. Lines, Graham’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had solid revenue growth in the quarter and the year, as expected. However, the mix of projects and performance of our commercial nuclear utility business dampened gross margins throughout the year. While disappointing, we remain focused on solid execution and quality service for our customers, and strong cost discipline to strengthen our earnings potential. Likewise, we will continue to invest in our business in line with our strategy to drive our long-term future.”

He added, “Our investments in personnel for our strategy are affecting margins in the near term but remain important as we identify and capture opportunities to achieve our growth and profitability goals. We are encouraged by our solid order activity and strong backlog, which give us confidence in a healthy outlook for the coming fiscal year and beyond.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2019 Sales Summary
(See accompanying financial tables for a breakdown of sales by industry and region)

Consolidated net sales were up $1.4 million, or 7%, driven by $3.8 million and $1.7 million increases in sales to the chemical/petrochemical and refining industries, respectively. These increases were partially offset by $2.8 million and $1.2 million of lower sales to the Company’s other commercial, industrial and defense markets, and the power industry, respectively.

From a geographic perspective, U.S. sales represented 70% of consolidated sales in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter compared with 66% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. International sales were 30% of consolidated sales in the fiscal 2019 quarter, compared with 34% in the prior-year comparable period. U.S. based sales were driven by the chemical/petrochemical and refining markets noted above.

Fluctuations in Graham’s sales among geographic locations and industries can vary measurably from quarter-to-quarter based on the timing and magnitude of projects. Graham does not believe that such quarter-to-quarter fluctuations are indicative of business trends, which it believes are more apparent on a trailing twelve month basis.

Graham believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin (adjusted operating profit as a percentage of sales), adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales), which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. Moreover, Graham’s credit facility also contains ratios based on EBITDA. See the attached tables for additional important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as well as reconciliations of operating (loss) profit to adjusted operating profit and reconciliations of net (loss) income to adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. This disclosure regarding Graham’s use of non-GAAP measures for the fourth quarters also applies to fiscal year data reflected later in this release.

The results for the fiscal 2019 and 2018 fourth quarters were relatively comparable on a non-GAAP basis, with adjusted EPS of $0.08 in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter compared with $0.07 in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter. While gross margin was lower in the fiscal 2019 quarter, net income benefited from higher interest and other income.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2019 gross profit and margin were unfavorably impacted by project mix, including the commercial nuclear utility business.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $4.2 million in the fourth quarters of both fiscal 2019 and 2018. SG&A as a percent of sales was approximately 18% and 19% in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.

Given ongoing challenges in the nuclear industry faced by relatively small market participants, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 the Company decided to divest its commercial nuclear utility business, Energy Steel. Upon evaluating the potential market value of the Energy Steel business, Graham determined that the intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived assets were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $6.4 million impairment charge, $5.3 million net of tax, in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter.

Jeffrey Glajch, Graham’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “While Energy Steel was successful in prior years, the changes in the commercial nuclear utility industry over the last several years have caused significant erosion of this business. Accordingly, we have decided that it has more potential with a different partner and we are in discussions to sell the business.”

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, Graham’s effective tax rate was not meaningful due to the non-deductibility of the goodwill portion of the commercial nuclear utility business write down. The prior year’s fourth quarter effective tax rate benefited from the impact of adopting the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2019 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS excluded $5.3 million of net-of-tax impairment charges. Fourth quarter fiscal 2018 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS excluded a $0.2 million tax benefit for adoption of the new federal tax rates as a result of the tax reform legislation adopted in December 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA (defined as consolidated net (loss) income before net interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill and other impairments and other charges associated with the revaluation of the commercial nuclear utility business, and a nonrecurring restructuring charge, where applicable) was approximately the same during the fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 fourth quarters.

Refer to pages 11 and 12 of this press release.

The improvement in operating loss, operating margin, net loss and diluted EPS during fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 was primarily driven by the change in impairment charges for goodwill and intangible and other long-lived assets. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude such charges as well as other items, resulting in a $3.2 million and $0.33 improvement over the prior year, respectively, driven by higher sales and improved operating performance.

International sales grew 27% to $32.4 million in fiscal 2019 and represented 35% of total sales, compared with $25.6 million, or 33% of sales in the prior year. Sales to the U.S. grew 14% to $59.4 million, or 65% of fiscal 2019 net sales, compared with $51.9 million, or 67% of fiscal 2018 net sales.

The increase in gross profit and margin were driven by higher volume stemming from the 18% increase in sales when compared with the prior year, as well as ongoing improvement to backlog quality and project mix, partially offset by higher production costs.

SG&A in fiscal 2019 was $17.9 million, up 13%, or $2.1 million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to higher compensation costs for new personnel, higher sales-related costs, and higher performance-based compensation. As a percent of sales, SG&A was 20% for both fiscal 2019 and 2018.

Similar to the fourth quarter, Graham’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2019 was not meaningful due to the non-deductibility of the goodwill portion of the commercial nuclear utility business write down. Fiscal 2018 results were impacted by a $0.8 million favorable adjustment to income taxes upon implementation of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which also had a beneficial impact on the fiscal 2019 overall effective tax rate.

Fiscal 2019 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS excluded $5.3 million of net-of-tax impairment charges. Fiscal 2018 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS excluded $12.0 million of net-of-tax impairment charges, $0.2 million of net-of-tax bad debt charges associated with the revaluation of the Company’s commercial nuclear utility business, $0.2 million for a net-of-tax nonrecurring restructuring charge and a $0.8 million tax benefit for adoption of the new federal tax rates as a result of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2019 benefited from higher revenue and gross margin improvement, partially offset by investments in SG&A.

Balance Sheet Strength Supports Growth

Cash, cash equivalents and investments at March 31, 2019 were $77.8 million, up from $76.5 million at March 31, 2018.

Fiscal 2019 cash provided by operations was $7.9 million, compared with $8.5 million in fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of timing of changes in working capital, partially offset by higher adjusted net income.

Capital expenditures were $2.1 million in fiscal 2019, approximately the same level as the prior year. The Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 to be between $2.5 million and $2.8 million, the majority of which are expected to be used for productivity enhancements.

Dividend payments were $3.8 million and $3.5 million in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.

Graham had neither borrowings under its credit facility, nor any long-term debt outstanding, at March 31, 2019.

Backlog Level Indicates Continued Growth

Backlog at the end of fiscal 2019 was $132.1 million, near its record level of $133.6 million at the end of the third quarter, and up 12% from $117.9 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Excluding the commercial nuclear utility business which is held for sale, backlog at the end of fiscal 2019 was $124.1 million.

The Company believes that its backlog mix by industry highlights the success of its diversification strategy to increase sales to the U.S. Navy. Backlog by industry at March 31, 2019 was approximately:

• 49% for U.S. Navy projects
• 22% for refinery projects
• 19% for chemical/petrochemical projects
• 7% for power projects, including commercial nuclear utility (of which 89% is for the business held for sale)
• 3% for other industrial applications

The expected timing for the Company’s backlog to convert to sales is as follows:

• Within next 12 months: 55% to 60%
• Within 12 to 24 months: 10% to 15%
• Beyond 24 months: 25% to 35%

Orders were $21.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by the refining and chemical/petrochemical industries in North America. In the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter, orders from U.S. and international customers were nearly evenly split with $11.1 million from the U.S and $10.5 million from international markets. This compares with total orders of $43.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, of which 81% were from the U.S. and 19% were from international markets. The fiscal 2018 fourth quarter orders included $24.5 million, or 56% of the total, from other commercial, industrial and defense markets, which includes the U.S. Navy.

Orders for fiscal 2019 were $101.2 million, compared with $112.2 million in fiscal 2018. Excluding orders from the Company’s other commercial, industrial and defense markets which benefited from significant U.S. Navy orders in fiscal 2018, orders from the Company’s other markets increased by $15.9 million in fiscal 2019, driven by orders from the chemical/petrochemical industry which were up $20.8 million. Orders from U.S. customers were $62.2 million, or 61% of the total, and orders from international markets were $39 million, or 39% of the total, in fiscal 2019. Approximately 35% of international orders were from the Middle East, 27% were from Canada and 27% were from Asia. In fiscal 2018, 69% of orders were from U.S. customers and 31% were international. The fiscal 2019 book-to-bill ratio was 1.1x.

Graham expects that the balance between domestic and international orders, as well as orders by industry, will continue to be variable between quarters.

Introducing FY 2020 Guidance

Graham is also announcing its fiscal 2020 guidance, as follows:

• Revenue anticipated to be between $95 million and $100 million, excluding the commercial nuclear utility business which is held for sale. For fiscal 2019, consolidated revenue excluding that business was $83.5 million.
• Gross margin expected to be between 23% and 24%
• SG&A expense expected to be between $17 million and $18 million
• Effective tax rate anticipated to be approximately 20%

Mr. Lines concluded, “I believe that the energy cycle continues to show signs of recovery, which is embedded in our fiscal 2020 expectation for 14% to 20% revenue growth for our ongoing business. Our strong pipeline of projects combined with the Navy work currently in backlog provides us solid confidence in our outlook for the year. Additionally, we remain very active in the pursuit of strategic opportunities to put our capital to work and complement our organic growth initiatives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure:

Adjusted net income is defined as GAAP net income excluding a nonrecurring restructuring charge, goodwill and other impairments, a charge associated with the revaluation of the commercial nuclear utility business and the impact of the new tax law in fiscal 2018. Adjusted net income is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted net income is important for investors and other readers of Graham's financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham's management to better understand operating performance. Because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net income, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure:

Adjusted operating profit is defined as consolidated operating profit before a nonrecurring restructuring charge, goodwill and other impairments, and a charge associated with the revaluation of the commercial nuclear utility business. Adjusted operating margin is Adjusted operating profit divided by sales. Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense and income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, a nonrecurring restructuring charge, goodwill and other impairments, and a charge associated with the revaluation of the commercial nuclear utility business. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are important for investors and other readers of Graham's financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Graham's management to better understand operating performance. Graham’s credit facility also contains ratios based on EBITDA. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
