Gates Industrial Corporation plc (NYSE: GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific power transmission and fluid power solutions, today reported results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2022.

Ivo Jurek, Gates Industrial's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our global teams executed well and delivered high-single-digit core growth while facing an operating environment that was incrementally more challenging. Underlying demand for our products remained supportive, with largely stable order rates across most of our markets, and our backlog has continued to grow. The pricing actions we've implemented allowed us to offset accelerating energy and petrochemical input costs, and we saw solid sequential margin improvement in a difficult environment."

Jurek continued, "While the availability of some supply chain inputs improved, we continue to face disruptions associated primarily with highly engineered polymers, as well as incremental inflation and additional foreign currency headwinds. Our dedicated Gates associates are focused on managing through these external issues that we believe are largely temporary in nature, however, we do expect their normalization to take longer than originally anticipated. The pace of positive secular industry trends is accelerating and we continue to direct investment in innovation and business simplification towards higher-margin new products and end markets. We are also initiating the next phase of our footprint optimization plan, which we expect to improve the efficiency of our operations, as well as increase our flexibility to execute on the numerous growth opportunities we have. We believe our business is well positioned as we prepare to enter 2023, with a robust backlog, strong pricing position and operational improvements underway."

Third-Quarter Financial Results

Third-quarter net sales were $860.7 million, a decrease of 0.2% over the prior-year quarter net sales of $862.4 million, including a 7.6% core revenue increase offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact of 7.8%. The core revenue growth in the quarter was broad-based, led by the industrial end markets, with particularly strong growth in the Energy, Mobility and Off-Highway end markets.  From a channel perspective, the first-fit channel experienced higher core revenue growth than the replacement channel, led by sales into automotive applications.

Net income attributable to shareholders in the third quarter was $51.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to shareholders of $70.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted Net Income was $89.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $92.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2022 was 285,174,344 compared to 299,683,289 in the third quarter of 2021.

Third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $177.7 million compared to $183.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Pricing actions offset the impact of significant inflation, with the decline in Adjusted EBITDA driven by foreign currency impact and operational inefficiencies stemming primarily from supply chain challenges. Third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.6% represented a sequential improvement of 70 basis points compared to the prior quarter, with favorable price/cost and selling, general and administrative expenses offsetting the negative impacts of volume and operational inefficiencies.

Power Transmission net sales decreased 4.9% to $522.5 million in the third-quarter compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting a core revenue increase of 5.0%, excluding unfavorable currency effects of 9.9%. The decrease in net sales includes a 3.4% negative impact from the suspension of our business in Russia. The segment saw the highest core growth rates in the Energy, Mobility and Off-Highway end markets, with net sales into first-fit channels outperforming those into replacement channels.

Power Transmission Adjusted EBITDA was $101.9 million compared to $123.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Strong pricing was offset by negative foreign currency impact and operational inefficiencies stemming primarily from supply chain challenges, the addition of new capacity and lower volumes, including the suspension of business in Russia, resulting in the decline in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.5% represented sequential improvement of 60 basis points from the prior quarter, with favorable price/cost and selling, general and administrative expenses offsetting the negative impacts of lower volume, foreign currency and operational inefficiencies.

Fluid Power net sales increased 8.1% to $338.2 million in the third quarter compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting a core revenue increase of 12.1% and 4.0% of unfavorable foreign currency effects. The segment saw solid core revenue growth across all end markets, with the highest core growth rates coming in the Energy, On-Highway and Automotive Replacement end markets, and net sales into first-fit channels outperforming those into replacement channels.

Fluid Power Adjusted EBITDA was $75.8 million compared to $60.7 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.4% and expansion of 300 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by price and favorable selling, general and administrative expenses offsetting the negative impacts of inflation and operational inefficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company generated $100.6 million of cash from operations. Third-quarter capital expenditures increased to $27.6 million from $20.0 million in the prior-year quarter.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $395.3 million and total outstanding debt of $2.5 billion, as well as committed borrowing headroom of $434.6 million.

2022 Outlook

To reflect the incremental impact of foreign currency translation, supply chain challenges, inflation and the addition of targeted production capacity, the Company is updating its full-year 2022 outlook. The Company now expects core revenue growth in the range of 5.5% to 8.0%, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $660 million to $690 million and Adjusted Earnings per Share between $1.07 and $1.15. The Adjusted Earnings per Share range continues to include tax and other headwinds of $0.27 per share, primarily due to benefits from certain discrete tax items in 2021. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $100 million and Free Cash Flow conversion to now be approximately 50% of Adjusted Net Income, reflecting higher inventory levels to mitigate the supply chain reliability challenges.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as its key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business either period-over-period or with other businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment profitability to assess the performance of our businesses, and it is used for total Gates as well because we believe it is important to consider our total profitability on a basis that is consistent with that of our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of revenues for that period.

Management uses Adjusted Net Income as an additional measure of profitability. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income attributable to shareholders before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses.

Core revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the impacts of movements in foreign currency rates and the first-year impacts of acquisitions and disposals, where applicable. We present core revenue growth because it allows for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency gains or losses, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition or disposal.

Management uses Free Cash Flow to measure cash generation. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion is a measure of Free Cash Flow expressed as a percentage of Adjusted Net Income. We use this metric as a measure of the success of our business in converting Adjusted Net Income into cash.

Management uses Net Leverage as a measure of our liquidity and in assessing the strength of our balance sheet. Net Leverage is a non-GAAP measure that represents the number of times by which net debt (principal amount of debt less cash and cash equivalents) exceeds Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months of the applicable period.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see below for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

(1)

Transaction-related expenses relate primarily to advisory fees and other costs recognized in respect of major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions.



(2)

Restructuring expenses represent items qualifying for recognition as such under U.S. GAAP and include costs related to the closure of lines of business, facility closures and consolidations, fundamental organizational rationalizations and non-recurring employee severance related to such actions.



(3)

Inventory impairments and adjustments include the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a Last-in First-out ("LIFO") basis. The recent inflationary environment has caused LIFO values to drop below First-in, First-out ("FIFO") values because LIFO measurement results in the more recent inflated costs being matched against current sales while historical, lower costs are retained in inventories.

(1)

Transaction-related expenses relate primarily to advisory fees and other costs recognized in respect of major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions.



(2)

Restructuring expenses represent items qualifying for recognition as such under U.S. GAAP and include costs related to the closure of lines of business, facility closures and consolidations, fundamental organizational rationalizations and non-recurring employee severance related to such actions.



(3)

Inventory impairments and adjustments include the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a LIFO basis. The recent inflationary environment has caused LIFO values to drop below FIFO values because LIFO measurement results in the more recent inflated costs being matched against current sales while historical, lower costs are retained in inventories.
