Fiscal 2023 Consolidated Results Comparisons

Consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023 were $598.2 million, compared to $571.2 million in fiscal 2022. Core sales increased 8% year over year, with product sales up 12% and service revenues down 7%, the latter due to the implementation of 80/20 analysis and a more selective process for quoting projects in the MENAC region. Core growth was driven by the execution of ASCEND go-to-market initiatives to accelerate organic growth and the implementation of our growth strategy.

Operating profit increased 174% year over year to $83.9 million, with an operating profit margin of 14.0%, up from 5.4% in fiscal 2022. Operating margin expansion was driven by initiatives to accelerate organic growth, improve operational efficiency, and reduce SG&A, partially offset by additional costs associated with the ASCEND transformation program and higher incentive compensation.

Adjusted operating profit for fiscal 2023 increased 87% to $122.7 million with an adjusted operating margin of 20.5%, up from 11.5% in fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating margin benefited from initiatives to accelerate organic growth, improve operational efficiency, and reduce SG&A, partially offset by higher incentive compensation.

Outlook

“Our guidance for fiscal 2024 reflects a fair degree of caution, given the continued uncertainty in the macro environment," concluded Sternlieb. “However, we are confident in Enerpac’s ability to outperform the industry and gain share based on the success of our four-pillar growth strategy, and we remain committed to our multi-year financial framework of 6% to 7% compound annual growth of organic revenue through fiscal 2026.”

The company set its full-year fiscal 2024 net sales guidance range at $590 million to $605 million, with core growth of approximately 2 to 4 percent, adjusted EBITDA guidance at $142 million to $152 million, and anticipated free cash flow of $60 million to $70 million. This forecast is based on the Company’s key foreign exchange rate assumptions and assumes that there is no broad-based global recession.

Notes:
(1) Approximately $0.6 million of the Q4 fiscal 2023 restructuring charges were recorded in cost of products sold.
(2) Caption updated from "Leadership transition & board search charges (benefit)" used during Fiscal 2022, costs included have not been altered.
(3) EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before financing costs, net, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation & amortization. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA are calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings, operating profit or operating cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it regularly reviews these performance measures. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors and lenders, and are presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Notes continued:
(5) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures are not calculated based upon GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Enerpac Tool Group companies.
(6) Free cash flow primarily represents the operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment less capital expenditures.
For all reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures, the summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding. With respect to the earnings per share reconciliations the impact of share dilution on the calculation of the net earnings or loss per share and discontinued operations per share may result in the summation of these components not equaling the total earnings per share from continuing operations.

(7) Management does not provide guidance on GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included above only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
