Hayward Holdings Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2022 SUMMARY

  • Net Sales decreased 30% year-over-year to $245.3 million
  • Net Income decreased 54% year-over-year to $23.1 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 39% year-over-year to $60.4 million
  • Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 43% year-over-year to $0.14

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (“Hayward”) (NYSE: HAYW), a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool equipment and associated automation systems, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2022 of its fiscal year 2022.

CEO COMMENTS

“Our third quarter results were in line with our expectations,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to leverage our competitive advantages, increase market share, and capitalize on the sustainable secular trends in our industry. I am particularly pleased with continued solid growth and outperformance in channel sell-through in our core U.S. market for the third quarter, as reported by our primary channel partners. However, consistent with our expectations, we saw a meaningful divergence between this channel sell-through and our net sales into the channel as our partners reduced the level of inventory on hand in response to normalizing lead times and safety stock requirements. We are taking proactive steps to streamline the organization and realign our cost structure to current conditions while prioritizing our strategic growth investments.”

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales decreased by 30% to $245.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decline in net sales during the quarter was the result of lower volumes, partially offset by favorable pricing and acquisitions. The decline in volume was primarily driven by distribution channel destocking as supply chain pressure eases, lead times normalize, and the industry starts to return to the pre-pandemic seasonal trend of lower sales activity in the third quarter. Additionally, macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical factors in Europe weighed on customer demand and contributed to the decline in volume.

Gross profit decreased by 34% to $107.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin decreased 239 basis points to 43.9%. The decrease in gross margin was principally due to the decline in volume resulting in lower operating leverage. Gross profit margin was also negatively impacted by the inventory fair value step-up adjustment recognized as part of purchase accounting related to the second quarter acquisition of J&J Electronics and Sollos (the “Specialty Lighting Business”).

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by 27% to $50.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by lower incentive compensation, selling and distribution, and warranty expenses as well as the absence of a patent infringement litigation settlement which occurred in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 96 basis points to 21%, compared to the prior year period of 20%. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $6.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, or 3% of net sales, as compared to $6.4 million for the prior year period, or 2% of net sales.

Operating income decreased by 48% to $40.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in operating income was driven by lower sales.

Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 26% to $13.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily as a result of variable rate increases on the term loan and utilization of the ABL revolving credit facility.

Income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $3.5 million for an effective tax rate of 13.3%, compared to $14.3 million at an effective tax rate of 22.2% for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to discrete items resulting from certain state legislation changes and the tax benefit resulting from the exercise of stock options.

Net income decreased by 54% to $23.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 39% to $60.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 341 basis points to 24.6%.

Diluted GAAP EPS decreased by 52% to $0.10 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased by 43% to $0.14 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2022 SEGMENT RESULTS

North America

Net sales decreased by 32% to $203.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in volume, partially offset by increases in price to offset inflationary pressure and the favorable impact of acquisitions. The decline in volume was primarily the result of distribution channel destocking and the seasonal trend of lower sales activity in the third quarter as discussed above.

Segment income decreased by 47% to $48.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income decreased by 42% to $56.9 million.

Europe & Rest of World

Net sales decreased by 21% to $41.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in volume as a result of geopolitical factors and macroeconomic uncertainty, unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, and channel inventory reductions, partially offset by price increases.

Segment income decreased by 17% to $8.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income decreased by 23% to $8.6 million.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of October 1, 2022, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $72.9 million and approximately $55.2 million available for future borrowings under its ABL Facility. Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, of approximately $144 million was a decrease of approximately $55 million from the prior year comparative period as a result of the increase in cash used for working capital, partially offset by an increase in net income.

COST OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM

During the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company initiated an enterprise cost reduction program to address the current market dynamics and maintain the Company’s strong financial metrics. The initial focus was on a reduction of variable costs with specific attention to eliminating cost inefficiencies in our supply chain and reducing labor in our production cost base. In addition to these variable cost reductions, the Company identified structural selling, general and administrative cost reduction opportunities totaling $25 million to $30 million in 2023, with initial savings of approximately $8 million to be realized in 2022.

OUTLOOK

Hayward is refining its full fiscal year 2022 guidance to reflect higher than expected inflation impacting the fourth quarter, normalizing channel inventory levels and geopolitical events in Europe. Hayward continues to see increasing consumer demand for pool equipment products in the U.S., specifically, for our suite of SmartPadTM products into the aftermarket. Hayward is confident in the long-term outlook for profitable growth and robust cash flow generation, driven by new product innovation, growing commercial relationships with prominent pool dealers and builders, and agile manufacturing capabilities.

For fiscal year 2022, Hayward now expects net sales to decrease approximately 6% from prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $365 million to $370 million.

Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, Hayward repurchased approximately $50.0 million and $343.1 million, respectively, in common stock under its previously approved share repurchase program, leaving approximately $400.0 million remaining under the renewed authorization, which occurred on July 26, 2022. Hayward's Board of Directors renewed the initial authorization of the existing repurchase program and authorized Hayward to repurchase up to an aggregate of $450 million of its common stock over the next three years. The repurchase program will continue to be funded by cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward’s management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “guidance,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward’s outlook, financial position; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; growth and expansion opportunities; operating results; and working capital and liquidity. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward’s forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.

Important factors that could affect Hayward’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; uncertainties affecting the pace of distribution channel destocking and its impact on sales volumes; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward’s products to pool owners; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; impacts on Hayward’s business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic business and weather conditions; Hayward’s ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; Hayward’s ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; Hayward’s ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward’s current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates; Hayward's ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities; Hayward’s ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; impacts on Hayward’s business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating foreign businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; Hayward’s ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements and tariffs, or address the impacts of climate change; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on Hayward’s business from the COVID-19 pandemic; and other factors set forth in “Risk Factors” in Hayward’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 2, 2022.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward’s expectations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) including adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, net debt and free cash flow. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), segment income or other measures of profitability or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation for the forward-looking full year fiscal 2022 net sales and adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

(a)

 

Represents non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards issued to management, employees, and directors. Beginning in the three months ended July 2, 2022, the adjustment includes only expense related to awards issued under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which were awards granted prior to the effective date of Hayward’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), whereas in prior periods, the adjustment included stock-based compensation expense for all equity awards. Under the historical presentation, the stock-based compensation adjustment for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 would have been an expense of $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

 

(b)

 

Represents fees paid to certain of the Company’s controlling stockholders for services rendered pursuant to a 2017 management services agreement. This agreement and the corresponding payment obligation ceased on March 16, 2021, the effective date of the IPO.

(c)

 

Represents unrealized non-cash losses (gains) on foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities and foreign currency contracts.

(d)

 

Adjustments in the three months ended October 1, 2022 are primarily driven by separation costs associated with a reduction-in-force as well as costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters. Adjustments in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 are primarily driven by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of the Specialty Lighting Business, costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters, and separation costs associated with a reduction-in-force. Adjustments in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 are primarily driven by restructuring related costs associated with the exit of a redundant manufacturing and distribution facility and costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters.

(e)

 

Adjustments in the three months ended October 1, 2022 primarily includes the non-cash increase in cost of goods sold resulting from the fair value inventory step-up adjustment recognized as part of the purchase accounting for the Specialty Lighting Business. Adjustments in the three months ended October 2, 2021 include a legal settlement and fees, costs related to a fire at our manufacturing and administrative facilities in Yuncos, Spain, and operating losses related to an early-stage product business acquired in 2018 that was phased out.

 

Adjustments in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 include expenses associated with the discontinuation of a product joint development agreement, a non-cash increase in cost of goods sold resulting from the fair value inventory step-up adjustment recognized as part of the purchase accounting for the Specialty Lighting Business, and costs incurred related to the selling stockholder offering of shares in May 2022, which are reported in SG&A in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, partially offset by gains resulting from an insurance policy reimbursement related to the fire incident in Yuncos, Spain. Adjustments in the nine months ended October 2, 2021 include a write-off related to the aforementioned fire in Yuncos, Spain, a legal settlement and fees related to patent infringement litigation, expenses incurred in preparation for the IPO and transaction related bonuses, costs related to our debt refinancing, and operating losses related to an early stage product business acquired in 2018 that was phased out.

Tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 reflect a normalized tax rate of 24.2% and 24.5% compared to our effective tax rate of 13.3% and 22.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 includes the impact of the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities as a result of state tax law changes and the tax benefit resulting from the exercise of stock options. Tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 reflect a normalized tax rate of 25.9% and 25.1% compared to our effective tax rate of 22.2% and 23.1%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 includes the impact of the release of a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets and the tax benefit resulting from the exercise of stock options. All non-tax adjustments are effected at the normalized rate.

(b)

(g)

 

The adjustments for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 represent pro-forma adjustments related to the acquisition of the Specialty Lighting Business and the adjustments for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 represent pro-forma adjustments related to interest savings from repayment in full of our Second Lien Term Facility and partial repayment of our First Lien Credit Agreement as if such payments had occurred at the beginning of the period.

(h)

 

For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, adjusted net income used in the computation of adjusted basic and diluted EPS does not include certain IPO related items impacting net income attributable to common stockholders used as the numerator of the US GAAP basic and diluted EPS computations, including a deemed dividend to Class A shareholders of $85.5 million and dividends to Class C shareholders of $41 thousand. Including these items in the calculation of adjusted EPS would result in adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.58 and $0.54 per share, respectively.
