Enerpac Tool Group Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results and Affirms Full-Year Guidance

Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended November 30, 2023.

“We began fiscal 2024 with another good quarter, underscored by solid top-line growth and greatly expanded profitability,” said Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group’s President & CEO. “While we maintain a cautious tone regarding full-year results, given economic and geopolitical uncertainty, our performance demonstrates the continued benefits of Enerpac’s ASCEND transformation program, four-pillar growth strategy, and the permanent changes across the organization that are making Enerpac more efficient, more productive, and easier to do business with.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Consolidated Results Comparisons

“First quarter gains in operating profit and margins reflect the success of our transformational initiatives that enhance productivity and efficiency at the gross profit and SG&A lines,” stated Tony Colucci, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, reported results reflect lower ASCEND-related charges.”

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $142.0 million compared to $139.4 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 1.9%. Organic sales, excluding the disposition of Cortland Industrial and the impact of foreign currency, increased 5.5% year-over-year, with product sales up 4.2% and service revenues ahead 10.1%. Net sales growth for the Industrial Tools & Services (IT&S) reportable segment of 7.6%, with organic growth of 5.8%, was partly offset by a year-over-year decline at Cortland Biomedical, which comprises the Other operating segment.

Gross margin expanded approximately 360 basis points year-over-year to 52.3%, driven by operational improvements related to ASCEND, favorable sales mix, volume leverage, carryover price increases from fiscal 2023, and the disposition of Cortland Industrial. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $44.6 million were $9.6 million lower year-over-year. Adjusted SG&A was 29.0% of sales, down from 31.2% of sales in the year-ago period.

Operating profit increased 133% year-over-year to $28.7 million, with an operating profit margin of 20.2%, up from 8.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating profit increased 40% to $32.4 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 22.8%, a 620 basis point expansion over the prior-year period.

First quarter fiscal 2024 net earnings and diluted EPS were $18.3 million and $0.33 respectively, compared to $6.4 million and $0.11, respectively, in the year-ago period.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $34.9 million compared to $26.6 million in the year-ago period, achieving an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.6%, up 550 basis points from 19.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net cash used by operating activities was $6.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to $17.5 million of cash provided by operations in the prior-year period. The decrease in cash from operations was primarily due to the timing of annual incentive compensation payments along with payments made for the ASCEND transformation program. In fiscal 2023, the annual incentive compensation payment was recorded in the second quarter.

IT&S Results Comparisons

First quarter fiscal 2024 net sales for IT&S were $137.0 million, ahead 7.6% year-over-year with organic growth of 5.8%. Organic growth was driven by a 4.5% increase in product sales and a 10.1% increase in service revenues. The segment’s operating profit margin increased 510 basis points to 26.0% and adjusted operating profit margin improved 520 basis points to 28.1%.

Corporate Expenses from Continuing Operations

Corporate expenses were $8.9 million and $15.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The year-over-year decline was driven by significantly lower ASCEND-related charges during the quarter. Adjusted corporate expenses⁽²⁾ of $8.1 million for the first quarter increased $0.7 million compared to the prior year, as a result of higher incentive compensation.

(2) First quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted corporate expense excludes approximately $0.3 million of restructuring charges, $0.4 million of ASCEND charges, and $0.1 million of impairment and divestiture charges as compared to approximately $0.1 million of restructuring charges, $7.9 million of ASCEND charges, and $0.4 million of leadership transition charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net debt at November 30, 2023, was $96.5 million, resulting in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.9x. The Company repurchased approximately one million shares of its common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 for $26 million under its share repurchase program announced in March 2022.

Outlook

“With the solid start to fiscal 2024, we are on track to achieve our full-year financial objectives,” concluded Sternlieb.

As such, the Company affirms its fiscal 2024 guidance, projecting a net sales range of $590 million to $605 million. The forecast anticipates organic growth of approximately 2% to 4%, with expected adjusted EBITDA in the range of $142 million to $152 million, and free cash flow between $60 million to $70 million. This forecast is based on key foreign exchange rate assumptions and assumes the absence of a broad-based global recession. The key foreign exchange rates and other guidance assumptions are included in the presentation materials accompanying the earnings webcast.

Notes:
(1) Approximately $0.6 million of the Q4 fiscal 2023 restructuring charges were recorded in cost of products sold.
(2) EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before financing costs, net, income tax expense, and depreciation & amortization. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA are calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings, operating profit or operating cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it regularly reviews these performance measures. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors and lenders, and are presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Notes continued:
(4) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures are not calculated based upon GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Enerpac Tool Group companies.
For all reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures, the summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding. With respect to the earnings per share reconciliations the impact of share dilution on the calculation of the net earnings or loss per share and discontinued operations per share may result in the summation of these components not equaling the total earnings per share from continuing operations.

Notes continued:
(5) Management does not provide guidance on GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included above only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
