Investor call scheduled for Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE:ZWS)

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales in the quarter increased 42% to $403 million compared with $284 million in last year’s June quarter (-5% core sales(1), +47% acquisitions).
  • Net income from continuing operations was $33 million (diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.19) compared with $36 million (diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.28) in the year-ago quarter.
  • Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.24 compared with $0.32 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $87 million (21.6% of net sales) compared with $64 million (22.6% of net sales) in last year's second quarter.
  • Net debt leverage(1) of 1.5x as of June 30, 2023.
  • Deployed $50 million to repurchase 2.3 million shares of common stock in the quarter.

Todd A. Adams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter results that came in ahead of our outlook, and the progress we have made on our strategic initiatives in the first half of the year. Demand trends in the quarter remained constructive as pro forma orders increased high single digits year over year and we continued to see momentum growing in our drinking water business. During the quarter, we repurchased $50 million of our common stock putting us at $87 million of repurchases for the calendar year which translates to a repurchase of 4 million shares. Operationally, we executed well as we delivered an adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 21.6% which was just above the high-end of our outlook heading into the quarter. Our second quarter margin improved 210 bps sequentially from the first quarter and we will continue to see margin expand in the second half of the year."

“As we look to the back half of the year, we continue to have confidence in generating core sales growth in our business and we are well positioned to deliver improving EBITDA margins and cash flow while driving our net debt leverage to just above one times by the end of the calendar year. With the combination of growth, synergies and lower input and transportation costs we have a clear path to our margins improving approximately 300 bps in the second half compared to the first half."

Third Quarter Outlook

Adams continued, “After a solid first half, we have increased the low end of our previously provided sales and Adjusted EBITDA(1) outlook and are raising our free cash flow forecast for the year. Our outlook for the year is sales to be in the range of $1,525 million and $1,550 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) to be in the range of $335 million to $345 million and free cash flow(1) to total approximately $215 million. For the third quarter, we expect sales to be in a range of $390 million to $400 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) to range between 23.5% and 24.0%."

Second Quarter 2023 Overview

Net sales were $403.2 million and $284.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of 42% year over year. Excluding a 47% increase in sales associated with our combination with Elkay, core sales decreased 5% year-over-year as a result of lower year over year demand associated with products sold into our residential end markets as well as timing of shipments in the prior year as we began working down an elevated backlog during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, income from operations was $54.8 million compared to $53.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased by 520 basis points year over year as the benefits of productivity actions were offset by higher restructuring costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, incremental depreciation and intangible asset amortization resulting from the merger with Elkay, as well as the sell-through of higher cost inventory in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $87.0 million, or 21.6% of net sales, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $64.3 million, or 22.6% of net sales, during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

(1) Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of this non-GAAP metric, as well as the accompanying reconciliations to GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Core Sales

Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions (such as Elkay), divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, the adjustment to state inventories at last-in first-out costs, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are based on a transaction specific basis. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. In view of our debt level, it is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is the term we use to describe Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA (which includes a full pro-forma last-twelve-month impact of acquisitions), or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as “incremental margin” in the case of an increase in net sales or “decremental margin” in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, and we use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. We define Free Cash Flow Conversion as Free Cash Flow divided by net income.

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”)

ROIC is used because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of financial performance and it is also currently a performance measure under our long-term incentive plan. ROIC is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. ROIC is also used by investors and analysts to evaluate management’s deployment of capital to create shareholder value. We define ROIC as tax-effected net operating income for the last 12 months divided by average total invested capital over a rolling four-quarter period. Total invested capital is defined as shareholders equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way.

Our outlook is based upon the extent of information available as of the date of this filing regarding events and conditions that will impact our future operating results for our fiscal year 2023. Our actual results may be materially impacted by events for which information is not available, such as asset impairments, purchase accounting effects related to future acquisitions, future restructuring actions, last-in first-out inventory adjustments, gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of tangible and intangible assets, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, actuarial gains (losses) on our defined benefit plans, and other gains (losses) related to events or conditions not yet known. Consequently, we have not included incremental gains or (losses) for these items in our forward-looking guidance since that information is not reasonably available.
