Positive
  • Sales increased by 14.3% to $403 million.
  • Core sales growth of 4.7%.
  • Adjusted EPS of $1.16.
  • Operating profit margins of 18.6% GAAP and 23.9% Adjusted.
  • Repayment of $65 million in debt.
  • Acquisitions of De La Rue Authentication Solutions and Smart Packaging assets.
  • Full year Adjusted EPS guidance narrowed to $4.22-$4.30.

  • Operating profit decreased by 5.9% to $75 million.
  • GAAP operating profit margin declined by 400bps to 18.6%.
  • Adjusted operating profit margin decreased by 210bps to 23.9%.
  • Cash provided by operating activities decreased by 39.5% to $66.7 million.

Insights

The Q3 results show mixed performance with notable strengths and challenges. Core sales growth of 4.7% and total revenue growth of 14.3% to $403.5 million demonstrate solid expansion. However, adjusted operating profit margins declined 210 basis points to 23.9%, indicating some pressure on profitability.

The acquisition strategy is aggressive but disciplined, with De La Rue Authentication Solutions pending and successful integration of OpSec Security. The balance sheet remains healthy with net leverage at 1.7X and $165.1 million in cash. The narrowed full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $4.22 to $4.30 and reduced free cash flow conversion target to 70% suggest some near-term operational challenges but overall stable outlook.

The segmental performance reveals important trends. The Payment Innovations segment showed modest 1.5% growth but improved margins, while Security & Authentication Technologies delivered strong 36% growth largely driven by acquisitions. The margin compression in Security segment (down 570 bps to 21.9%) warrants attention.

The strategic focus on trusted technology solutions through acquisitions is positioning CXT well in high-value security and authentication markets. The reduced free cash flow guidance suggests integration costs and working capital needs are higher than initially expected, but the debt reduction of $65 million demonstrates solid cash management.

Delivers sales growth of 14%; core sales growth increases 5%

Narrows full year Adjusted EPS guidance to $4.22 to $4.30

Third Quarter 2024 Results

Third quarter 2024 sales were $403.5 million, an increase of $50.6 million, or 14.3%, compared with the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by $32.3 million, or 9.1%, sales benefit from the acquired OpSec Security business, $16.7 million, or 4.7%, core sales growth, and $1.6 million, or 0.5%, favorable foreign exchange.

Third quarter 2024 operating profit was $75.0 million, compared with $79.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Operating profit margin was 18.6%, compared with 22.6% last year, primarily reflecting an unfavorable product mix, and the impact of the OpSec Security acquisition, partially offset by productivity gains, and the impact of cost saving actions.

Operating profit margin of 28.7% increased 180 basis points, compared with 26.9% last year, primarily reflecting favorable pricing, lower manufacturing costs, productivity gains, and cost saving actions, partially offset by unfavorable product mix. Adjusted operating profit margin was 31.1% compared with 29.4% in the prior year.

Sales of $178.6 million increased $47.3 million, or 36.0%, compared with the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by 24.6% sales benefit from the acquired OpSec Security business, and 10.2% core sales growth. Operating profit margin was 16.4% compared with 25.0% last year, driven by the dilutive impact of the OpSec Security acquisition as well as changes in the Currency business, as favorable pricing, higher volumes and productivity gains were more than offset by higher manufacturing costs, and unfavorable mix. Adjusted operating profit margin was 21.9% compared with 27.6% in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Other Financial Metrics

For the third quarter of 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $66.7 million, compared with $102.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was $59.0 million, compared with $97.5 million in the prior year. The $38.5 million, or 39.5%, decrease in Adjusted free cash flow was primarily due to lower cash provided by operating activities driven by higher working capital requirements impacted by the timing of shipments. (Please see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables in this release for a detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures).

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $165.1 million as of September 30, 2024, compared with $227.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Total debt was $793.2 million as of September 30, 2024, compared with $644.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company repaid $65.0 million on its revolving credit facility during the third quarter of 2024, with an outstanding balance of $150.0 million as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the increase in total debt reflect the financing associated with the May 3, 2024 OpSec Security acquisition.

Crane NXT reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted EPS, free cash flow, and Adjusted free cash flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior, to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane NXT. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted segment operating margin and Adjusted EPS, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on Crane NXT's future GAAP results. Crane NXT calculates Adjusted segment operating margin and Adjusted EPS as described below.

  • "Adjusted segment operating margin" is calculated as Adjusted segment profit divided by sales. Adjusted segment profit is calculated as segment profit excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, and transaction related expenses. Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of the acquisition, and expenses associated with the Separation.

  • "Adjusted EPS" is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, transaction related expenses, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items. Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of the acquisition, and expenses associated with the Separation.

The Company's management believes that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:

  • "Adjusted operating profit" and "Adjusted operating margin" add back to operating profit items which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These items include income and expense such as: acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, and transaction related expenses. Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of the acquisition, and expenses associated with the Separation. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

  • "Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude items which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These measures include income and expense items that impacted operating profit such as: acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, transaction related expenses, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items. Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of the acquisition, and expenses associated with the Separation. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude income and expense items that impacted net income and earnings per diluted share such as related party interest with Crane Company incurred prior to the Separation. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

  • “Free cash flow,” “Adjusted free cash flow” and "Adjusted free cash flow conversion” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for certain cash items which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is calculated as Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

  • "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin" exclude net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense from net income, as well as Special items such as restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, and transaction related expenses. Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of the acquisition, and expenses associated with the Separation. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

  • "Net leverage ratio" refers to Net debt divided by trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA. "Net debt" represents total debt (excluding deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our ability to satisfy our debt obligation with currently available funds.

  • References to "core," such as "core sales," exclude currency effects and, where applicable, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in identifying underlying growth trends in our business and facilitate comparison of our sales performance, for example, with prior and future periods that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
