Insights

Brady Corporation's financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 show a notable increase in EPS to a record high of $1.05, compared to $0.96 in the previous year, representing a 9.4% increase. Additionally, the adjusted EPS (excluding certain items) stands at $1.09, a 14.7% rise from $0.95 the previous year. This significant growth in earnings per share is a positive indicator of the company's profitability and operational efficiency.

Moreover, the company's ability to generate net cash from operating activities saw a substantial growth to $171.1 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2024, up from $129.9 million in the previous year. This highlights Brady's strong cash flow generation, which is critical for reinvestment, debt repayment, or returning value to shareholders.

The raised guidance for the full year ending July 31, 2024, with a new EPS range of $3.93 to $4.00 on a GAAP basis and $4.08 to $4.15 on a non-GAAP basis, underscores the management's confidence in sustained performance improvement. This upward revision is a signal to investors that the company anticipates continued growth and profitability, which can positively influence the stock's valuation.

In summary, Brady Corporation's financial metrics illustrate a robust operating performance, underpinned by strong earnings growth and cash flow generation. The upward revision of the full-year EPS guidance further solidifies the positive outlook, which could be beneficial for investors considering both the short-term and long-term potential of the stock.

Brady Corporation’s performance in different regions shows a global growth trend. The 4.5% organic sales growth is particularly strong in a macroeconomic environment where many companies face challenges due to inflation and volatile currency exchange rates. The slight decline due to foreign currency (0.3%) and divestitures (2.3%) did not significantly hinder overall performance, which suggests solid underlying demand for Brady's products.

The company's strategic investments in research and development resulting in new product launches highlight a forward-looking approach. Innovating and expanding product offerings can help the company capture more market share and potentially introduce higher-margin products, which could lead to better profitability in the long term.

Additionally, Brady’s actions to return capital to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends reinforce its commitment to shareholder value. The repurchase of 863,365 shares for $50.4 million and dividends totaling $11.2 million indicates a balanced approach to managing its financial resources and returning value to investors.

Overall, the company’s growth in key regions, focus on innovation and shareholder-friendly policies contribute positively to its market position. Investors can view these strategies as mechanisms to ensure sustained growth and value creation.

Commentary:
“This quarter we reported all-time record high EPS and strong organic sales growth. Our ongoing investment in research and development continues to add value for our customers and increase organic sales. This quarter we launched several exciting new products that separate us from our competition and complement our current product offering. We remain focused on innovation and on our consistent priorities, which we believe will continue to drive future growth,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Russell R. Shaller. “Both regions performed extremely well this quarter and we are facilitating an increased pace of innovative new product development, which we believe positions us for future success.”

“In addition to our organic revenue growth of 4.5 percent and record EPS this quarter, we also used our strong balance sheet and cash generation to return funds to our shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividends. This quarter, we repurchased a total of 863,365 shares for $50.4 million and we returned another $11.2 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Ann Thornton. “Our balance sheet provides significant opportunities to invest in both organic opportunities and strategic acquisitions in order to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Fiscal 2024 Guidance:
The Company raised its GAAP earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share guidance for the year ending July 31, 2024 from the previous guidance range of $3.80 to $3.95 per share to the new full year guidance range of $3.93 to $4.00 per share. The Company raised its Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items* guidance for the year ending July 31, 2024 from the previous range of $3.95 to $4.10 per share to the new full year guidance range of $4.08 to $4.15 per share.

The assumptions included in fiscal 2024 guidance include a full-year income tax rate of approximately 21 percent and depreciation and amortization expense ranging from $30 million to $32 million. Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $75 million, which is inclusive of facility purchase and construction costs of approximately $55 million. Fiscal 2024 guidance is based on foreign currency exchange rates as of April 30, 2024 and assumes continued economic growth. Fiscal 2024 guidance does not include the Company’s pending acquisition of Gravotech Holding, which is expected to close by the end of its fiscal year ending July 31, 2024. Excluding acquisition-related costs, Brady expects the acquisition of Gravotech Holding to be immaterial to earnings per share in fiscal 2024.

For Brady, uncertainties arise from: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the offer to acquire Gravotech; the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction with Gravotech, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the offer that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction; the risk that the proposed offer and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Brady and Gravotech to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; increased cost of raw materials and labor as well as material shortages and supply chain disruptions; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; our ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; Brady’s ability to identify, integrate, and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; risks associated with the loss of key employees; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; litigation, including product liability claims; adverse impacts of regional epidemics or global pandemics; foreign currency fluctuations; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders and changes in the regulatory and business environment around dual-class voting structures; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2023.

These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

GAAP to NON-GAAP MEASURES        
(Unaudited; Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
          
In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.
          
Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items:
Brady is presenting the non-GAAP measure, "Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items." This is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in this non-GAAP measure are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and supporting footnote disclosures. We do not view these items to be part of our ongoing results. We believe this profit measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure from year to year. The table below provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of Income before income taxes to the non-GAAP measure of Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items:
