Actuant Reports Second Quarter Results; Updates Fiscal 2017 Guidance

March 22, 2017

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Actuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announced results for its second quarter ended February 28, 2017.

Highlights

  • Consolidated sales were 2% below the comparable prior year quarter with acquisitions net of divestitures a 2% benefit and foreign currency rate changes a 1% headwind. Second quarter core sales were down 3% with a return to core growth in both the Industrial and Engineered Solutions segments, offset by difficult market conditions in the Energy segment.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.08 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 versus $(2.70) in the prior year. Adjusted EPS was $0.11 excluding second quarter fiscal 2017 restructuring charges of $0.03 per share (see Consolidated Results below and the attached reconciliation of earnings).
  • Maintained fiscal 2017 full year sales guidance of $1.075-1.125 billion and narrowed adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $1.10-1.20 per share (excluding restructuring and transition charges).

Randy Baker, President and CEO of Actuant commented, “We delivered our financial commitments for the second quarter, with generally stable end market conditions and progress across a number of key strategic initiatives. Core sales in both Industrial and Engineered Solutions turned positive for the first time in approximately two years. Energy comparisons and market conditions were difficult in both maintenance and offshore capex related areas. As we pivot the organization more toward growth, we are increasing investments in new products, commercial effectiveness and growth regions, which in the short term limit margin expansion. Adjusted EPS of $0.11, excluding restructuring, was directly in line with our guidance. Normal seasonal cash flow and debt leverage provide us adequate liquidity. In summary, I’m pleased with the progression of our efforts and appreciative of the execution by Actuant employees around the globe.”

Consolidated Results

Consolidated sales for the second quarter were $259 million, 2% lower than the $263 million in the prior year. Core sales declined 3% while foreign currency rate changes reduced sales 1% and net acquisitions/divestitures were a 2% sales benefit. Fiscal 2017 second quarter net earnings and EPS were $5.1 million, or $0.08, compared to a net loss of $159.2 million and $2.70, respectively, in the comparable prior year quarter. Fiscal 2017 second quarter earnings included restructuring charges of $2.1 million or $0.03 per share. Second quarter 2016 results included $3.6 million or $0.04 per share of restructuring charges and $186.5 million or $2.86 per share of impairment charges. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.11 compared to $0.21 in the comparable prior year period (see attached reconciliation of earnings).

Sales for the six months ended February 28, 2017 were $525 million, 8% lower than the $568 million in the prior year. Excluding the 1% negative impact of foreign currency rate changes and 2% benefit of net acquisitions/divestitures, fiscal 2017 year-to-date core sales decreased 9%. Fiscal 2017 year-to-date net earnings and EPS were $10.0 million and $0.17, respectively. The comparable fiscal 2016 year-to-date net loss was $143.7 million or $2.43 per share. Excluding restructuring charges in both years, the 2017 director and officer transition charges, and fiscal 2016’s impairment charge, fiscal 2017 first half adjusted EPS was $0.31 compared to $0.52 in the comparable prior year period (see attached reconciliation of earnings).

Second quarter fiscal 2017 Industrial segment sales were $92 million or 13% higher than the prior year. The Larzep acquisition added 2% while currency was neutral, resulting in an 11% year-over-year core sales increase. The core sales rate of change improved from -4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and represents the first quarter of core sales growth in seven quarters. This reflects broad based demand improvement, with growth across all geographies and product lines. The construction related concrete tensioning and heavy lifting product sales experienced the highest growth rates. Second quarter adjusted operating profit margin of 20.8% was in line with expectations and consistent with the prior year as incremental volume was offset by unfavorable sales mix and commercial effectiveness investments.

(2) 2017 excludes $0.1 of restructuring charges in the first half. 2016 excludes $1.3 and $3.3 of restructuring charges in the second quarter and first half, respectively. Also excludes second quarter fiscal 2016 impairment charges of $140.8 million.

Fiscal 2017 second quarter Energy segment sales declined 15% year-over-year to $73 million. Excluding the 2% unfavorable impact of the stronger US dollar, and 8% benefit from last March’s process & pipeline services acquisition, year-over-year core sales declined 21%. Hydratight’s sales decreased due to prior year sizable project work coupled with tight customer spending controls on maintenance activities which resulted in deferrals and scope reductions. The segment continued to experience year-over-year declines in upstream offshore oil & gas related demand, although it remained stable sequentially. For the seasonally weak second quarter, Energy incurred an adjusted operating loss due primarily to the lower volumes and unfavorable sales mix.

(3) 2017 excludes $1.5 and $3.5 of restructuring charges in the second quarter and first half, respectively. 2016 excludes $2.0 and $3.4 of restructuring charges in the second quarter and first half, respectively. Also excludes second quarter 2016 impairment charges of $45.7 million.

Second quarter fiscal 2017 Engineered Solutions segment sales were $94 million or 2% below the prior year. Excluding the 3% Sanlo divestiture impact, and 1% unfavorable currency headwind, year-over-year core sales increased 2%. The core sales rate of change improved sequentially from -5% in the previous quarter and represents the first quarter of growth in the past nine. Fiscal 2017 sales reflect robust production rates by China’s heavy-duty truck OEMs. While tepid end market demand continued across most of the segment’s other markets such as agriculture and off-highway equipment, our sales benefited from easier comparisons and moderating destocking activity by OEM customers. Second quarter adjusted operating profit margin improved year-over-year due to higher volumes and the benefit of cost saving actions.

Corporate and Income Taxes

Corporate expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were $6.4 million, or $0.5 million lower than the comparable prior year period. Excluding the tax benefit on restructuring, the approximate 10% second quarter effective income tax rate compared to -13% for the comparable prior year period (excluding the tax impact on restructuring and impairment charges) that included certain tax planning items.

Outlook

Baker continued, "Our results for the first half of fiscal 2017 have met expectations and give us confidence that we are on track for the year. We have begun to see encouraging indicators within the broad industrial landscape, although the sustainability and trajectory of improvement are yet to be determined. Our sales effectiveness, restructuring and lean revitalization actions are proceeding according to plan.

As such, for the full year we are maintaining our sales guidance in the $1.075-1.125 billion range with core sales anticipated to be down 2 to 5%. We are narrowing our adjusted EPS guidance from $1.10-1.30 to $1.10-1.20 as unfavorable sales mix and investments in growth are expected to limit further upside to margins in the near term. Free cash flow is projected to be in the $85-95 million range in fiscal 2017.

We expect third quarter sales to be in the $290-300 million range, with adjusted EPS of $0.38-0.43.

All guidance excludes restructuring and transition costs, as well as the impact of potential future acquisitions and share repurchases.

In summary, I continue to believe Actuant has strong growth potential as our end markets improve, we gain momentum in our commercial strategies, and we execute disciplined, tuck-in acquisitions. These, combined with our LEAD reinvigoration initiatives, provide us with many levers to create long-term shareholder value.”

FOOTNOTES
 
NOTE: The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to rounding.
 
(1) Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) 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 Actuant companies. The total of the individual components may not equal due to rounding.
 
(2) EBITDA represents net earnings before financing costs, net, income tax expense, and depreciation & amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation 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 Operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), operating profit (loss) or operating cash flows. Actuant has presented EBITDA because it regularly reviews this performance measure. In addition, EBITDA is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

NOTE 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.
