Martinrea International Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Sales and Declares Dividend

TORONTO, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martinrea International Inc. (TSX : MRE), a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems, today announced the release of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share.

FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total sales of $1,303.9 million, up 12.9% year-over-year, a new quarterly record for the Company.
  • Diluted net earnings per share of $0.60, and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) of $0.54.
  • Operating Income Margin of 5.8%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $152.5 million, a new quarterly record for the Company.
  • First quarter financial results were much improved compared to the first quarter of 2022, as semiconductor and other supply shortages had a pronounced impact on prior-year volumes.
  • Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio, excluding the impact of IFRS 16, continues to strengthen and ended the quarter at 1.90x.
  • New business awards of approximately $70 million in annualized sales at mature volumes.
  • Quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 declared.

OVERVIEW

Pat D’Eramo, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our first quarter financial performance was solid in the face of some ongoing market challenges. Most notably, vehicle production volume instability continued to be an issue during the quarter, as we experienced production disruptions, with some key programs having extended periods of unplanned downtime and lower volumes due to supply issues affecting multiple plants in multiple locations. Notwithstanding, strong operational execution and continued success in offsetting inflationary cost headwinds through commercial activity enabled us to have a strong quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA(1) setting another quarterly record for the Company. Looking forward, we expect continued improvement over the coming quarters with better production volumes, margins, and Free Cash Flow(1) as we deliver on our 2023 outlook. We believe we are in the early stages of what will ultimately prove to be a strong cycle with most of our plants running at or near capacity. I want to sincerely thank and applaud our people for their efforts.”

He added: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded $70 million in new business consisting of $50 million in Lightweight Structures on General Motors’ new electric pickup truck and $20 million in Propulsion Systems with General Motors and Tesla. Since the beginning of 2022, we have been awarded approximately $250 million in new business in addition to another $250 million in replacement business, and we continue to win meaningful work on electric vehicle platforms with key customers.”

Fred Di Tosto, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Sales for the first quarter, excluding tooling sales of $64.3 million, were $1,239.5 million, and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) was $0.54. First quarter Operating Income of $75.2 million increased over the fourth quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $152.5 million set a new quarterly record for the Company, as Pat noted. First quarter Free Cash Flow(1) came in at ($31.6) million, a nice improvement over ($52.1) million in the first quarter of 2022. Quarter-over-quarter, Free Cash Flow(1) reflected a seasonal build in working capital, as expected. We expect to generate positive Free Cash Flow(1) in the coming quarters, as our 2023 outlook implies, driven in part by lower capex, in line with depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales. Cash capex was essentially in this range in the first quarter, which is a significant improvement over the fourth quarter.”

He continued: “Net Debt(1) increased by $47 million quarter over quarter, to $955.9 million, due essentially to the seasonal build of working capital. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio (excluding the impact of IFRS 16) was 1.90x, down from 1.95x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2.43x in the third quarter of 2022. Our leverage is at a comfortable level. Our leverage ratio should naturally improve in the coming quarters as we generate an increasing amount of Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Free Cash Flow(1), a portion of which will go towards debt repayment. We also have a normal course issuer bid in place and our expectation is that we will be buying back some stock at these levels, over time.”

Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “As Pat and Fred discussed, we posted another strong quarter with Adjusted EBITDA(1) hitting a new quarterly record. This has become a recurring theme over the last several quarters, with financial results that are among the best in our industry. We are pleased with this achievement, especially considering the challenges our Company and industry have faced and continue to face from supply chain shortages, production disruptions, and cost inflation, which have persisted for longer than most expected. Our people continue to dig in and perform in the face of these challenges. Our team is resilient and our culture is outstanding.”

He added: “Looking forward, we believe we will continue to see better industry sales and production growth, especially in North America where most of our operations are located. There is pent-up demand, vehicle inventories remain low, but are improving, and U.S. auto sales have been holding in better than many expected. Our 2023 outlook, which calls for total sales (including tooling sales) of $4.8 to $5.0 billion, an Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 6.0% to 7.0%, and Free Cash Flow(1) of $150 to $200 million, remains in place. As we have talked about for some time now, our Company is particularly focused on the Free Cash Flow(1) aspect of our outlook. We are excited about the prospect of ushering in a new phase in the evolution of our Company, establishing ourselves as an effective and consistent generator of Free Cash Flow(1).”

OVERALL RESULTS

Results of operations may include certain items which have been separately disclosed, where appropriate, in order to provide a clear assessment of the underlying Company results. In addition to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measures, management uses non-IFRS measures in the Company’s disclosures that it believes provide the most appropriate basis on which to evaluate the Company’s results.

The following table sets out certain highlights of the Company’s performance for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Refer to the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 for a detailed account of the Company’s performance for the periods presented in the table below.

*Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares its interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS. However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Net Earnings per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income”, "Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow”, and “Net Debt”.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of IFRS “Net Income” to Non-IFRS “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Operating Income” and “Adjusted EBITDA”:

SALES

Three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2023 Three months ended March 31, 2022 $ Change % Change
North America$973,992  $859,700  114,292  13.3%
Europe 303,470   261,462  42,008  16.1%
Rest of the World 33,882   39,753  (5,871) (14.8%)
Eliminations (7,455)  (5,877) (1,578) (26.9%)
Total Sales$1,303,889  $1,155,038  148,851  12.9%

The Company’s consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2023 increased by $148.9 million or 12.9% to $1,303.9 million as compared to $1,155.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. The total increase in sales was driven by year-over-year increases in the North America and Europe operating segments, partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the Rest of the World.

Sales for the first quarter of 2023 in the Company’s North America operating segment increased by $114.3 million or 13.3% to $974.0 million from $859.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was due generally to the launch and ramp up of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2022, including Mercedes' new electric vehicle platform (EVA2), the Tesla Model Y, and a Toyota/Lexus SUV; overall higher first quarter OEM light vehicle production volumes, which increased in North America by approximately 10% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the industry-wide supply chain disruptions which impacted 2022 to a greater degree compared to 2023; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the first quarter of 2023 of $46.3 million as compared to first quarter of 2022; the impact of material passthrough and commercial settlements (to partially offset inflationary cost increases) on customer pricing and sales; and an increase in tooling sales of $16.3 million, which are typically dependent of the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These positive factors were partially offset by lower year-over-year production volumes of certain light vehicle platforms including the Ford Escape and GM Equinox/Terrain, both significant platforms for the Company.

Sales for the first quarter of 2023 in the Company’s Europe operating segment increased by $42.0 million or 16.1% to $303.5 million from $261.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was due to the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Mercedes' new electric vehicle platform (EVA2); overall higher first quarter OEM light vehicle production volumes, which increased in Europe by approximately 17% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the industry-wide supply chain disruptions which impacted 2022 to a greater degree compared to 2023; and the impact of material passthrough and commercial settlements (to partially offset inflationary cost increases) on customer pricing and sales. These positive factors were partially offset by lower year-over-year production volumes with certain customers, largely Jaguar Land Rover, Lucid and Ford; and a $5.9 million decrease in tooling sales.

Sales for the first quarter of 2023 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $5.9 million or 14.8% to $33.9 million from $39.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes with Geely, General Motors and Jaguar Land Rover; partially offset by higher production volumes with Mercedes, and an increase in tooling sales of $1.0 million.

Overall tooling sales increased by $11.7 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $64.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $52.6 million for the first quarter of 2022.

GROSS MARGIN

Three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2023 Three months ended March 31, 2022 $ Change % Change
Gross margin$167,386  $122,436  44,950 36.7%
% of Sales 12.8%  10.6%    

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2023 of 12.8% increased as a percentage of sales by 2.2% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2022 of 10.6%. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:

  • overall higher production sales volume and corresponding higher utilization of assets;
  • favourable commercial settlements; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • higher labour, material and energy costs;
  • operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities;
  • a negative sales mix; and
  • the impact of material passthrough on customer pricing.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 continued to be impacted by production inefficiencies related to the industry-wide supply chain disruptions driven by the unpredictability of customer production schedules.

ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME

Adjusted Net Income excludes certain items as set out in the following table and described in the notes thereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income as a measurement of operating performance of the Company and believes that, in conjunction with IFRS measures, it provides useful information about the financial performance and condition of the Company.

(1) Net gain on disposal of equity investments

On March 24, 2023, Martinrea sold its equity interest in VoltaXplore Inc. ("VoltaXplore) to NanoXplore Inc. ("NanoXplore") for 3,420,406 common shares of NanoXplore at $2.92 per share representing an aggregate consideration of $10.0 million. The sale transaction resulted in a gain on disposal of equity investments during the first quarter of 2023 as follows:

Gross gain (Total consideration of $10.0 million less book value of investment)$        6,821         
Less: gain attributable to indirect retained interest         (1,548)
Net gain on disposal of equity investments$        5,273         

Subsequent to this transaction, the Company no longer holds a direct equity interest in VoltaXplore while its equity ownership interest in NanoXplore increased from 21.1% to 22.7%.

(2) Gain on dilution of equity investments

As at December 31, 2021, the Company held 35,045,954 common shares of NanoXplore representing a 22.2% equity interest in NanoXplore (on a non-diluted basis). On February 24, 2022, NanoXplore closed a bought deal public offering of 6,522,000 common shares from treasury at a price of $4.60 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million. Upon finalization of the transaction, the Company’s net ownership interest decreased to 21.2% from 22.2%. This dilution resulted in a deemed disposition of a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in NanoXplore, resulting in a gain on dilution of $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2022.

(3) Restructuring costs

Additions to the restructuring provision during the first quarter of 2022 totaled $4.2 million and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of operations in Canada related to the cancellation of an OEM light vehicle platform well before the end of its expected life cycle.

NET INCOME

Three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2023 Three months ended March 31, 2022 $ Change % Change
Net Income$48,171 $25,208 22,963 91.1%
Adjusted Net Income 43,597  24,842 18,755 75.5%
Net Earnings per Share       
Basic and Diluted$0.60 $0.31    
Adjusted Net Earnings per Share       
Basic and Diluted$0.54 $0.31    

Net Income, before adjustments, for the first quarter of 2023 increased by $23.0 million to $48.2 million or $0.60 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from a Net Income of $25.2 million or $0.31 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2023 increased by $18.8 million to $43.6 million or $0.54 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from $24.8 million or $0.31 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to the first quarter of 2022, was positively impacted by the following:

  • higher gross margin on higher year-over-year sales volume as previously explained; and
  • a lower effective tax rate (20.7% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 26.1% for the first quarter of 2022).

These factors were partially offset by the following:

  • a year-over-year increase in SG&A expense, as previously explained; and
  • a $9.8 million year-over-year increase in finance expense as a result of increased debt levels and borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt.

DIVIDEND

A cash dividend of $0.05 per share has been declared by the Board of Directors payable to shareholders of record on June 30, 2023, on or about July 15, 2023.
