EVI Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: EVI) announced today its results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, as well as updates related to its long-term buy-and-build growth strategy that occurred following the completion of the third fiscal quarter.

Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and CEO commented: “Like other companies in our industry, and almost all industries, during the third fiscal quarter, we continued to deal with and navigate through certain adverse economic conditions, including continued supply chain constraints, unpredictable lead times, inflation, and labor shortages. Notwithstanding the challenges and their impact on our results, we were able to successfully complete multiple acquisitions since the start of calendar year 2022, we have over 20% growth in our backlog of confirmed customer sales contracts, we achieved record gross profits and gross margins, we continued to deploy our advanced operating technologies, and we recently extended our favorable credit facility for five years.”
Multiple Acquisitions Drive Continued Expansion
The Company continued to deploy capital in connection with several acquisitions during and following the completion of the third fiscal quarter, which evidences management’s confidence in the commercial laundry industry and the Company’s long-term growth objectives. The Company completed the acquisition of Consolidated Laundry Equipment during February 2022. In addition, following the completion of the third fiscal quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Lakewood, Colorado based Clean Designs and Clean Route, and completed the acquisition of Pearl, Mississippi based Laundry South and the acquisition of Spynr, a highly specialized full-service marketing agency with vast experience and connections in the commercial laundry industry from which the Company believes it will be able to provide critical digital marketing services to existing and prospective laundry business customers.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “We believe that our acquisition of Clean Designs, if consummated, will strengthen our leading market share position in Colorado and the surrounding area. With our acquisition of Laundry South, we expand our sales and service operations into the state of Mississippi and increase our presence and market share in eastern Louisiana. These acquisitions, along with the acquisition of Consolidated Laundry Equipment during February 2022, are consistent with four primary objectives of our growth strategy: (1) to build the industry’s foremost group of sales professionals, (2) to amass the most knowledgeable and well-trained network of commercial laundry technicians, (3) to add product representations and service capabilities to better serve our growing customer base, and (4) to continue building a modern and technologically advanced operation, including well-located distribution facilities from which we may best support our sales and service operations. ”
Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet
As the Company has previously stated, the health and strength of its balance sheet is critical to long-term success. The Company’s balance sheet continues to be strong and afford management the necessary flexibility to act when needed in connection with attractive investment opportunities. At March 31, 2022, EVI had net debt of $18.3 million, which represents a $12.5 million increase in net debt as compared to the end of fiscal 2021. The change in net debt is primarily due to changes in working capital and cash used in connection with the acquisition of Consolidated Laundry Equipment. With respect to working capital, accounts receivable increased over $4.0 million and inventory increased nearly $16 million as compared to June 30, 2021, of which approximately $2 million was acquired in connection with acquisitions. These increases were offset in part by a nearly $11 million increase in customer deposits.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “The increase in inventory is due to increased purchases in light of constrained product availability and lengthened lead times, as well as inventory held by us pending delivery and installation due in large part to third-party labor shortages slowing what has historically been a fluid and speedy delivery and installation process across our industry. While it is difficult to ascertain how long these adverse conditions will persist, it is important to know that the majority of the roughly $6.0 million buildup of inventory in successive quarters attributed to continuing operations is associated with confirmed customer sales contracts.”
In addition, on May 6, 2022, we were successful in extending our up to $140 million credit facility for an additional five years.
Record Backlog of Confirmed Customer Sales Contracts
During the third fiscal quarter, the Company’s backlog increased by over 20% reaching nearly $150 million. As of today, the Company’s backlog is even greater after accounting for the backlog acquired in connection with acquisitions completed following the end of the third fiscal quarter and new customer sales contracts.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “We believe that the size and increase in our backlog reflects the capabilities of our growing and talented sales organization combined with our representation of loyal suppliers that deliver efficient, effective, and well supported products. For these reasons and others, we are confident that we have a significant advantage in capturing a greater portion of future demand for the commercial laundry products and services we provide across the industrial, OPL, vended, and multifamily segments in the geographies we cover.”
Revenue and Customer Activity
Revenue performance during the third fiscal quarter reflects the adverse impact of supply chain disruptions OEMs continue to experience, which results in constrained product availability and lengthened lead times. The unpredictable timing of product deliveries combined with labor shortages has caused installation and service delays. Accordingly, revenue for the third fiscal quarter was $60 million or 4.0% less as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, and revenue was flat in successive quarters. Meanwhile, revenue for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 increased 4.0% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “Despite these challenges and our revenue performance during the third fiscal quarter, we are encouraged by the fact that industrial laundry customers have returned to market, that travel and hospitality occupancy rates are increasing, and that the healthcare industry remains strong. These are just a few of the factors that are driving demand for the OPL products and services we provide. Additionally, vended laundry owners continue to execute on new store opportunities and equipment replacement and repair, and revenue derived from multi-family customers remains consistent with contractual obligations. All of these trends have contributed to the growth of our backlog of confirmed customer sales contracts, which we expect to recognize in future quarters.”
Record Gross Profit and Gross Margins
Although revenue was adversely impacted, the Company set records for both gross profit and gross margin for the third fiscal quarter and the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022. Like other industries, manufacturers of commercial laundry products have experienced inflationary pressures and continue to raise prices. Accordingly, the Company raised selling prices and took certain other measures to improve gross margins. For the third fiscal quarter, gross margins increased over 300 basis points to a record 28.4% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margins for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 increased over 300 basis points from 24.5% during the same period of the prior fiscal year to a record 27.9%. The increase in gross margin resulted in an 8.0% increase in gross profit for a record $17.1 million during the third fiscal quarter and an 18% increase in gross profit for a record $51.5 million during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022, each as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “We believe that our continued gross margin improvement reflects the benefits we derive from our efforts to improve and expand upon the comprehensive commercial laundry solutions we sell, install, and service for our customers. In connection with these capabilities, it is important to highlight that in the third fiscal quarter, ten of the fifteen business units included in EVI’s operating results had gross margins equal to or greater than 28%. Given we are still early in the growth of our Company, we are encouraged by this performance and are striving to continuously improve gross margin performance at all of our business units.”
Looking Forward
Mr. Nahmad commented: “Our long-term confidence is based on our achievements during and following the completion of the third fiscal quarter, including that we acquired three additional businesses and have a definitive agreement to acquire a fourth additional business, we have a backlog worth nearly $150 million, we set records for gross profit and gross margin, we sustained a healthy balance sheet, we secured ample and well-priced liquidity for an additional five years, we continued to further modernize our business, and we attracted and retained talented professionals to support our growth and profitability objectives. As our approach and results have earned us a positive reputation in and around our industry, including among owners of quality businesses which we may seek to add to our growing EVI family and among talented professionals who we may seek to hire, we remain highly confident in the long-term growth and profitability prospects of our Company.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this press release, EVI discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which EVI defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of share-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Share-based Compensation. EVI considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings, and the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing EVI’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, EVI’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
