Actuant Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results; Initiated Fiscal 2019 Guidance

Actuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announces results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

Highlights

  • Consolidated sales of $301 million increased 9% over the comparable prior year quarter. Core sales increased 10% on a year-over-year basis, including a 1% decline on sales from foreign currency and a net negligible impact on sales from acquisitions and divestitures. Strong double-digit growth in the Industrial and Energy segments and solid growth in the Engineered Solutions segment all contributed.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was a loss of $0.62 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 versus a loss of $1.65 in the prior year. Excluding fourth quarter fiscal 2018 one-time items, adjusted EPS was $0.39 (see Consolidated Results below, along with the attached reconciliation of earnings).
  • Progress continues on portfolio management actions; Cortland Fibron (upstream oil & gas) was moved to Assets Held for Sale as the business is prepared for divestiture.
  • Very strong operating cash flow generation drove further reduction in net debt to proforma EBITDA leverage, ending the year at 1.9 times.
  • Full year fiscal 2019 sales and adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $1.21-1.24 billion and $1.09-1.20 (excluding one-time items), respectively, inclusive of significant headwinds from higher taxes related to Tax Reform.
  • Estimated headwinds of approximately $3-4 million from recently enacted Section 301 List 3 tariffs. Mitigation efforts to reduce these headwinds are currently being assessed.

Randy Baker, President and CEO of Actuant Corporation remarked, “Actuant performed exceptionally well in the quarter, where we saw 10% core sales growth and outstanding operating margin expansion over the prior year. Solid above-market growth in our Industrial segment and continued steady growth in our Engineered Solutions segment were coupled with double-digit core sales growth in our Energy segment, the first growth in the segment in more than a year. I also am very pleased with our progress on new product development, as that will allow us to continue to outpace the market growth as we go forward. In summary, we had a strong finish to our year. Our initiatives to enhance top-line growth, restructure certain businesses, drive operational efficiency and manage our business portfolio have laid the ground work to continue positive momentum into 2019. Thank you to all of our employees worldwide for their significant efforts this year and commitment to Actuant.”

Consolidated Results

Consolidated sales for the fourth quarter were $301 million, 9% higher than the $276 million recorded in the comparable prior year quarter. Core sales improved 10% year-over-year, while foreign currency rate changes reduced sales by 1% and the net impact from the Mirage and Equalizer acquisitions, net of the Viking divestiture, increased sales by less than 1%. Fiscal 2018 fourth quarter net loss and EPS were $(37.7) million and $(0.62), compared to $(98.8) million and $(1.65), respectively, in the comparable prior year quarter. Fiscal 2018 fourth quarter earnings included impairment & divestiture charges of $46.3 million ($45.0 million or $0.74 per share, after tax) related to the anticipated sale of the Cortland Fibron business and impairment charges of $23.7 million ($18.0 million or $0.29 per share, after tax) on our Precision-Hayes International business. Additionally, fourth quarter 2018 results included restructuring charges of $0.7 million (benefit of $0.3 million and $0.01 per share, after tax), a $1.8 million or $0.02 per share benefit related to impacts of US Tax Reform and benefits from the release of valuation allowances, and a $0.8 million charge ($0.6 million or $0.01 per share, after tax) associated with the acceleration of the amortization of debt issuance costs resulting from the intentional reduction in the borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility. Fiscal 2017 fourth quarter included restructuring charges of $1.8 million ($1.3 million or $0.02 per share, after tax), as well as $117.0 million ($108.9 million or $1.82 per share, after tax) in impairment & divestiture charges related to the then-pending sale of the Viking SeaTech business. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 was $0.39, compared to $0.19 in the comparable prior year period (see attached reconciliation of earnings).

Consolidated sales for the twelve months ended August 31, 2018 were $1,183 million, 8% higher than the $1,096 million in the prior year. Foreign currency rate changes increased sales 3%, and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures reduced sales by 1% year-over-year, resulting in 6% core sales growth. Fiscal year 2018 net loss and EPS were $(21.6) million and $(0.36), respectively, compared to a net loss and EPS of $(66.2) million and $(1.11), respectively, in the prior fiscal year. Fiscal year 2018 results include impairment & divestiture charges of $73.1 million ($75.3 million or $1.24 per share, after tax), restructuring charges of $12.8 million ($9.5 million or $0.15 per share, after tax), tax charges related to US Tax Reform, the release of valuation allowances and stock compensation of $3.0 million or $0.05 per share, and accelerated debt issuance amortization costs of $0.8 million ($0.6 million or $0.01 per share, after tax). Fiscal year 2017 net loss included impairment & divestiture charges related to the then-pending sale of the Viking SeaTech business of $117.0 million ($108.9 million or $1.82 per share, after tax), restructuring charges of $7.2 million ($5.3 million or $0.09 per share, after tax), director and officer transition charges of $7.8 million ($4.9 million or $0.08 per share, after tax) and one-time tax benefits of $3.2 million or $0.05 per share. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS for fiscal year 2018 was $1.09, compared to $0.83 in fiscal year 2017.

Segment Results

Industrial Segment

(US $ in millions)

Three Months Ended August 31, Twelve Months Ended August 31,
2018 2017 2018 2017
Sales $111.6 $100.3 $415.9 $379.8
Operating Profit $2.8 $24.1 $63.8 $84.9
Adjusted Op Profit (1) $26.6 $24.1 $90.4 $86.6
Adjusted Op Profit % (1) 23.8% 24.0% 21.7% 22.8%

(1) 2018 excludes restructuring charges of $0.1 and $2.9 in the fourth quarter and twelve months, respectively, and $23.7 of impairment & divestiture charges in the fourth quarter and twelve months. 2017 excludes $1.7 of restructuring charges in the twelve months.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2018 Industrial segment sales were $111.6 million, 11% higher than the prior year. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates was a slight disadvantage year-over-year coupled with a 1% increase in sales due to the Equalizer acquisition, resulting in a 10% year-over-year core sales increase. Despite difficult comparisons, sales improved broadly across the industrial tools business in the quarter and heavy lifting technology sales improved by double-digits. Concrete tensioning products improved modestly. Fourth quarter adjusted operating profit margin was level with the prior year. Segment incremental profit flow-through from industrial tools was solid.

Energy Segment

(US $ in millions)

Three Months Ended August 31, Twelve Months Ended August 31,
2018 2017 2018 2017
Sales $77.5 $68.6 $303.1 $309.6
Operating (Loss) $(43.7) $(122.6) $(41.7) $(119.0)
Adjusted Op Profit (Loss) (2) $3.3 $(3.7) $12.3 $(0.1)
Adjusted Op Profit (Loss) % (2) 4.3% -5.4% 4.1% 0.0%

(2) 2018 excludes $0.7 and $4.7 of restructuring charges and $46.3 and $49.3 in impairment & divestiture charges in the fourth quarter and twelve months, respectively. 2017 excludes $1.9 and $117.0 of restructuring and impairment & divestiture charges, respectively, in the fourth quarter and for the twelve months.

Fiscal 2018 fourth quarter Energy segment sales of $77.5 million grew double digits over prior year sales of $68.6 million. Excluding a 2% negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates and a negligible net impact from the Viking divestiture and Mirage acquisition on sales, core sales grew by 15%. Hydratight grew in the quarter as maintenance activity continued to be solid in the North Sea and Middle East. Cortland experienced strong double-digit sales growth across oil & gas, medical and non-energy as market activity increased. Energy segment adjusted operating profit margin improvement resulted from incremental flow-through on higher sales, the benefit of restructuring actions, one-time items in 2017 that did not repeat in 2018 and the elimination of Viking losses.

Engineered Solutions Segment

(US $ in millions)

Three Months Ended August 31, Twelve Months Ended August 31,
2018 2017 2018 2017
Sales $112.3 $106.8 $463.6 $406.4
Operating Profit $7.7 $6.2 $25.2 $16.9
Adjusted Op Profit (3) $7.6 $6.1 $25.7 $20.4
Adjusted Op Profit % (3) 6.8% 5.7% 5.5% 5.0%

(3) 2018 excludes $0.5 of restructuring charges for the twelve months. 2017 excludes $(0.1) and $3.5 of restructuring charges in the fourth quarter and twelve months, respectively.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2018 Engineered Solutions segment sales were $112.3 million, a 5% increase over the prior year. Excluding a 1% decline in sales due to a stronger US dollar, year-over-year core sales increased 6%. Sales growth was broad-based in off-highway markets, including agriculture, mining and forestry. Europe truck sales continued to be solid and were partially offset by an anticipated continued decline in China volumes. Fourth quarter adjusted operating profit margins improved significantly over the prior year due to favorable mix and pricing.

Corporate Expenses and Income Taxes (excluding impairment & divestiture charges, restructuring, transition, and one-time tax items)

Corporate expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were $5.4 million or $1.6 million less than the comparable prior year period, due primarily to lower insurance costs and compensation expense. The fourth quarter effective income tax rate of approximately 7% was in line with expectations but higher than the prior year’s -10% rate.

Financial Position

Net debt at August 31, 2018 was approximately $282 million (total debt of $533 million less $250 million of cash), which declined approximately $69 million from the prior quarter end. Strong cash flow was used to reduce net debt, and the ratio of net debt to proforma EBITDA leverage declined to 1.9 times.

Outlook

"We believe fiscal 2018 has been a turning point for Actuant. The strong momentum we have established over the last several quarters from a higher level of focus on our customers, improvements in operations, and commercializing new products has allowed us to grow our top line in excess of our markets and drive solid incremental profitability. We expect that momentum to continue into 2019, and our sales and EPS guidance reflect continued growth from our own actions and the global economy,” stated Baker.

He continued, “As we initiate our guidance for 2019, we anticipate sales growth of between 3% and 5%, resulting in expected annual sales of $1.21 to $1.24 billion. We anticipate first quarter sales between $295 and $305 million and expect to see normal seasonality, with our strongest quarters in the back half of our fiscal year. Full year adjusted EPS is projected between $1.09 and $1.20, which includes an expected tax rate increase to 20% from 10% in 2018 (a $0.12 per share impact). First quarter adjusted EPS is projected to be in the range of $0.20 to 0.25. Free cash flow is anticipated to be solid again and in the $80 to $85 million range.

We are confident the actions we have taken over the last several quarters are delivering sustainable results and position us well to continue to grow our top line greater than the markets we serve and deliver strong incremental profitability. Continued solid cash flow generation and the expected reduction in net debt should provide us greater flexibility to invest in profitable growth opportunities to drive superior returns to our shareholders.”

All guidance excludes restructuring, impairment & divestiture charges, one-time tax adjustments as well as the impact of potential future tariffs, acquisitions, dispositions and share repurchases.

FOOTNOTES
NOTE: The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to rounding.
(1) Approximately $0.8 million of Q2 fiscal 2018 restructuring charges were recorded in cost of products sold. De minimis restructuring charges were also recorded in cost of products sold in Q3 fiscal 2018.
(2) Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings (loss) and diluted 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.
(3) EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) before financing costs, net, income tax (benefit) 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.

FOOTNOTES
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.
(1) The gain/loss on product line divesiture associtated with closing of the Cortland Fibron business is subject to numerous uncertainties which makes an estimate not meaningful.
