Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (Donaldson or the Company), a global leader in technology-led filtration products and solutions, today reported first quarter fiscal 2024 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net earnings of $92.1 million, compared with $87.2 million in fiscal 2023. First quarter 2023 earnings include restructuring and other charges of $7.6 million largely related to the Company’s organizational redesign. First quarter 2024 GAAP earnings per share (EPS)1 were $0.75 compared with 2023 GAAP and adjusted earnings per share of $0.70 and $0.75, respectively. The tables attached to this press release include a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

“I am pleased with our first quarter earnings results which reflect gross margin strength driven by robust operational performance,” said Tod Carpenter, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We have begun fiscal 2024 on solid footing, delivering our technology-led filtration products and services to our customers globally.

Ongoing investments in our Life Sciences business, R&D and the scaling of our acquisitions enable us to execute our balanced growth strategy and pave the way to achieving our fiscal 2026 Investor Day targets.”

Mobile Solutions segment (Mobile) sales decreased 2.7% from volume declines partially offset by pricing benefits. Off-Road sales decreased 8.6% due to weakening global end-market conditions, including in China. Aftermarket sales declined 1.9% as a result of continued OEM destocking. On-Road sales increased 4.8% driven by elevated levels of on-highway equipment production, particularly in China.

Industrial Solutions segment (Industrial) sales increased 7.2% as strong demand in most geographies drove volume growth. Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales grew 7.4% from ongoing strength in Power Generation and dust collection sales. Aerospace and Defense sales increased 5.9% driven by robust Defense sales.

Life Sciences segment sales declined 4.1% year over year resulting primarily from continued Disk Drive market-related sales weakness.

Gross margin was 35.6%, up 170 basis points from 33.9% in 2023 driven by pricing benefits, deflation in freight and select material costs, and mix.

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 20.8%, 100 basis points above 19.8% in the prior year, due to increased hiring and acquisition-related expenses. First quarter 2023 adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales, which exclude restructuring and other charges, were 18.9%.

Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 14.7%, increased 60 basis points year over year from 14.1% in 2023 as gross margin improvement more than offset operating expense deleveraging. Adjusted operating margin was 15.0% in the prior year.

Interest expense was $5.5 million versus $4.5 million in the prior year due to higher interest rates. Other income, net was $3.8 million compared with $1.8 million in 2023 as a result foreign exchange losses in the prior year period. The Company's effective tax rate was 25.1% versus 25.2% a year ago.

Donaldson paid $30.2 million in dividends and repurchased 0.7% of its outstanding shares for $53.7 million.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

Consistent with the prior outlook, full-year EPS is forecast to be between $3.14 and $3.30, compared with fiscal 2023 GAAP and adjusted EPS of $2.90 and $3.04, respectively. Sales are expected to increase between 3% and 7% year over year, with a pricing benefit of approximately 2% and a currency translation tailwind of roughly 1%.

Mobile sales are forecast to increase between 1% and 5% versus 2023. Softening end-market conditions, including in China, are expected to drive a mid-single digit decline in Off-Road sales and flat On-Road sales versus prior year. Aftermarket sales are projected to increase mid-single digits as a result of higher vehicle utilization rates and market share gains.

Industrial sales are expected to increase between 3% and 7% compared with prior year. Strength in Power Generation and dust collection sales is forecast to drive mid-single digit growth in IFS. Aerospace and Defense sales are projected to increase mid-single digits due to robust end-market conditions and market share gains.

Life Sciences sales are forecast to grow approximately 20% compared with 2023 benefitting from increases across all businesses including Food & Beverage, Bioprocessing Equipment and Consumables, and Disk Drive.

Operating margin is expected to be between 14.7% and 15.3% versus 14.0%, or 14.6% on an adjusted basis, in 2023 with year-over-year gross margin improvement partially offset by investments in the Life Sciences segment.

Interest expense is forecast to be approximately $23 million and other income is expected to be between $7 million and $11 million. Donaldson projects a fiscal 2024 effective income tax rate of between 24% and 26%.

Capital expenditures are forecast to be between $95 million and $115 million and free cash flow conversion is expected to be between 95% and 105%. For the full year, Donaldson anticipates repurchasing approximately 2% of its shares outstanding.

Note: The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and compares these adjusted amounts to its prior period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

Note: Although free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly used measure of a company’s ability to generate cash in excess of its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating earnings less non-cash expenses. The adjusted basis presentation excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjusted basis presentation reflects management’s performance in operating the Company and provides a meaningful representation of the performance of the Company’s core business and is useful to understanding its financial results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is that they do not reflect the Company’s actual results under GAAP. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
