PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evoqua Water Technologies (NYSE:AQUA), an industry leader in mission-critical water treatment solutions, today reported results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $426.7 million, compared to $346.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 23.1%, or $80.1 million. Organic revenue grew 10.6%, or $36.7 million, driven by higher volume for products and services across most product lines and regions, augmented by favorable price realization. Inorganic revenue contributed $45.4 million, primarily related to our acquisition of the Mar Cor business on January 3, 2022. Revenue was unfavorably impacted $1.7 million related to foreign currency translation. Net income for the quarter was $7.4 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.06, as compared to net income of $5.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.04 in the prior year period. The increase in net income of 45.1%, or $2.3 million, was driven by higher revenue volume and related gross profit, partially offset by increased expenses primarily related to recent acquisitions and employment costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $73.2 million, as compared to $58.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 26.2%, or $15.2 million. See the “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for additional information regarding adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue.

“We are pleased to report solid second quarter results driven by strong market demand across multiple regions, product lines and end markets. Our book to bill ratio was again above 1.0, and disciplined pricing execution resulted in price realization outpacing cost inflation in the quarter. Managing material and skilled labor availability remains a daily priority across our business segments,” said Mr. Ron Keating, Evoqua’s CEO.

Mr. Keating continued, “Revenue grew 23% in the quarter, with organic revenue up almost 11% over the prior year. These increases were driven by double digit growth across capital, service and, particularly, aftermarket. Our Mar Cor integration is progressing nicely and is on track to achieve the expected synergies communicated last quarter. On April 1, we purchased the remaining equity position of Frontier Water Systems, following our acquisition of a majority position in the company in October 2019.”

Mr. Keating stated, “With a strong first half of 2022 behind us, we maintain a balanced approach to our outlook. For the second half, we expect strong market demand to continue with our book to bill ratio remaining above 1.0, pricing initiatives to continue producing a positive price/cost, and adjusted free cash flow conversion to be above 100% of adjusted net income. However, supply chain challenges continue to limit visibility of order conversion timing and inflationary pressures are temporarily limiting margin expansion. For our fiscal 2022, we are raising the low end of our revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook ranges by $20.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Our full-year revenue outlook range is now $1.64 to $1.70 billion, while our adjusted EBITDA range is $285 to $300 million.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue.

For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and organic revenue in evaluating the strength and financial performance of our core business.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including restructuring and related business transformation costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, and other gains, losses and expenses that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and provides greater clarity and comparability period over period to management and our investors regarding the operational impact of long-term strategic decisions relating to capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. In addition, adjusted EBITDA highlights true business performance by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations and provides investors with greater visibility into the ongoing organic drivers of our business performance.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance as follows:

  • to assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance;
  • in our management incentive compensation, which is based in part on components of adjusted EBITDA;
  • in certain calculations under our senior secured credit facilities, which use components of adjusted EBITDA;
  • to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies;
  • to make budgeting decisions; and
  • to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

In addition to the above, our chief operating decision maker uses adjusted EBITDA of each reportable operating segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis is defined as earnings before depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that have been reflected at the segment level. Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable operating segments do not include certain charges that are presented within corporate activities. These charges include certain restructuring and other business transformation charges that have been incurred to align and reposition the Company to the current reporting structure, acquisition related costs (including transaction costs and integration costs) and share-based compensation charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations from these results included below should be carefully evaluated. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

The following is a reconciliation of our net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):

(a)

Restructuring and related business transformation costs

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain restructuring or business transformation events.  These events may occur over extended periods of time, and in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods based on reorganizations of the business, cost reduction or productivity improvement needs, or in response to economic conditions.  For the periods presented such events include the following:

 

 

(i)

Certain costs and expenses in connection with various restructuring initiatives, including severance and other employee-related costs, relocation and facility consolidation costs and third-party consultant costs to assist with these initiatives. This includes:

 

 

(A)

amounts related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives to reduce the cost structure and rationalize location footprint following the sale of the Memcor product line;

 

(B)

amounts related to the Company’s transition from a three-segment structure to a two-segment operating model designed to better serve the needs of customers worldwide; and

 

 

(C)

amounts related to various other initiatives implemented to restructure and reorganize our business with the appropriate management team and cost structure.

Organic Revenue

Organic revenue is another metric used by management to evaluate the performance of our business. Organic revenue is defined as revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and inorganic revenue. Inorganic revenue represents the impact from acquisitions and divestitures during the first 12 months following the closing of the acquisition or divestiture. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Management believes that reporting organic revenue provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our core business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures during the first 12 months following the closing of the acquisition or divestiture because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult between the Company and its peers due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions from period to period.

The following is a reconciliation of total revenue to organic revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
