Insights

The reported decrease in net sales and core organic decline for Avantor, Inc. for both Q4 and the full year of 2023 suggest a contraction in the company's revenue streams. This contraction is likely reflective of broader market trends, possibly due to reduced demand in the life sciences and advanced technology sectors, or increased competition. The company's ability to exceed free cash flow expectations, however, indicates a strong capacity for cash generation and operational efficiency, which is a positive sign for creditors and investors concerned with liquidity and debt management.

Adjusted EBITDA margins have contracted across all segments, which could point to increased costs or pricing pressures. The adjusted net leverage ratio of 3.9X, while indicative of a leveraged position, shows that the company is actively managing its debt, as evidenced by the significant debt repayment in 2023. This active debt management could be seen as a positive signal to the market about the company's financial stewardship.

Avantor's performance within its regional segments reveals varying degrees of resilience amidst a challenging economic climate. The Americas segment, being the largest, witnessed a notable decline in both net sales and adjusted EBITDA margin. This could reflect region-specific challenges or a possible saturation in the market. The European segment, while also experiencing a decrease, had a relatively smaller contraction in core organic sales compared to the Americas. This might suggest varying customer behavior or different stages of market development between the regions.

The AMEA region, despite a decline in net sales, has maintained a relatively high adjusted EBITDA margin, indicating potentially higher profitability or lower operational costs in these markets. This could be due to a variety of factors, including market dynamics, cost structures, or strategic positioning within the region.

The favorable impact of foreign currency translation on net sales suggests that Avantor may have benefited from currency fluctuations, which could cushion the impact of declining organic sales. However, the core organic sales decline indicates underlying challenges in the company's fundamental business operations that currency tailwinds cannot fully offset.

Furthermore, the company's outlook for 2024, where an inflection point has not yet been observed, suggests cautious optimism but also underscores the uncertainty in the global economic environment. The strategic focus on operating efficiencies and innovation could be a response to the need for maintaining competitiveness in an increasingly challenging market. The emphasis on long-term growth despite short-term pressures reflects a strategic approach that may prioritize sustainable development over immediate gains.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators. As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Rather, these measures should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in reports filed with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement or communication.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are sales growth (decline) on an organic basis, sales growth (decline) on a core organic basis, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted net leverage and free cash flow.

  • Sales growth (decline) on an organic basis eliminates from our reported net sales growth (decline) the impacts of earnings from any acquired or disposed businesses that have been owned for less than one year and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Sales growth (decline) on a core organic basis eliminates from our organic growth (decline) the impacts of any COVID-19 related net sales. We believe that these measurements are useful as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying commercial operating performance consistently across our segments and the periods presented.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is to measure and evaluate our operating performance exclusive of interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments. We believe that this measurement is useful as a way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented.

  • Adjusted net income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) net foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses relating to financing activities, (iii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iv) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (v) other costs or credits that are either isolated or cannot be expected to recur with any regularity or predictability. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to analyze the business consistently across the periods presented. This measurement is used by our management for the same reason.

  • Adjusted EPS is our adjusted net income divided by our diluted GAAP weighted average share count adjusted for anti-dilutive instruments. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as an additional way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. This measurement is used by our management for the same reason.

  • Adjusted net leverage is equal to our gross debt, reduced by our cash and cash equivalents, divided by our trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA (excluding stock-based compensation expense and including the expected run-rate effect of cost synergies and the incremental results of completed acquisitions as if those acquisitions had occurred on the first day of the trailing 12-month period). We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to evaluate and measure the Company's capital allocation strategies and the underlying trends in the business. This measurement is used by our management for the same reason.

  • Free cash flow is equal to our cash flow from operating activities, excluding acquisition-related costs paid in the period, less capital expenditures. We believe that this measurement is useful as it provides a view on the Company's ability to generate cash for use in financing or investment activities.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.
