ATLANTA, July 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chart Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTLS), a leading diversified global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment for the industrial gas and energy industries, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Further details can be found in the supplemental presentation included with this release.  Highlights include:

• Second quarter 2020 orders of $267.6 million included $125.1 million in June 2020, making it the highest order month of 2020 to date, a record order month for HLNG vehicle tanks and contributing to a record order quarter for LNG fueling stations

We finished the second quarter of 2020 with $125.1 million of orders in the month of June, bringing second quarter total orders to $267.6 million.  June was the strongest order month of 2020 to date and included a $13.3 million utility-scale LNG terminal order.

Medical oxygen-related orders, generally for use with COVID-19 patients, increased 23.9% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter.  We saw peak medical oxygen demand in the month of April with related orders tapering to more typical levels in late May and June.  In early July 2020, orders have begun to pick up for these applications due to “round two” of COVID-19 hot spots in the United States and Latin America.  Perhaps more impactful to our year and next decade growth is the fact that COVID-19 has sparked an emphasis on health and clean energy transformation, accelerating efforts and incenting governments to think through investments in renewable energy sources and storage, including hydrogen, carbon capture, biogas/biomethane and LNG.  Governments have been responding on a massive scale with stimulus packages, many of which are targeted to kick starting or further progressing the transition to clean energy and to achieve their climate targets.  86 countries have set a specific climate goal by 2050 and 68 of those countries have announced actions in 2020 on how they plan to achieve those goals.  Additionally, in the second quarter 2020, multiple governments set new or extended regulations that support this transition.  June 2020 was a record order month for HLNG vehicle tanks for over the road trucking (over $25 million in orders), a significant rebound after nearly two months of customer shutdowns due to COVID-19.  The rebound is in part due to the June 2020 German government three-year extension of the natural gas vehicle toll exemption and the corresponding expected near-term increase from our sole source customers for this application.  We shipped our first HLNG vehicle tanks from our Ornago, Italy location on July 6, 2020, furthering our geographic proximity to this growth engine.

The United States LNG infrastructure buildout got a boost on June 19, 2020 when regulations were finalized to allow for the rail shipment of LNG.  Our unique Gas-By-Rail product offering will support the transport of LNG, in particular for transport within the United States to regions where pipeline capacity is fixed and insufficient and permitting is difficult and slow.  Outside of the United States, where LNG infrastructure is more mature, we continue to see record activity levels.  In our Distribution & Storage Eastern Hemisphere segment (“D&S East”), we booked 22 LNG fueling station orders in the second quarter, the highest quarter of fueling stations in our history.  This brings our first half 2020 orders for fueling stations to 36, compared to the first half of 2019’s 23 station orders.

Our business continues to expand into new markets and our customer base continues to grow.  For example, we received orders with 128 new customers in the first quarter of 2020 and 132 in the second quarter of 2020.  54% of these 260 new customers this year are outside of North America, further demonstrating the long-term fundamental global clean energy transition and our geographic diversity.  Year-to-date, specialty markets new customers totaled 68 contributing to our second quarter 2020 specialty market order increase of 39% when compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Year-to-date, specialty market orders are 18.4% above the first 6 months of 2019 and every specialty market except space has had an increase in orders, with cannabis up 69%, wastewater 29%, and hydrogen 25%.

Hydrogen is a key element (pun intended!) in our specialty market offering that supports clean energy targets globally.  In the second quarter, we began work on hydrogen projects and equipment for China, Europe, India, and the United States.  For example, we received a $1.3 million order for a first of a kind order for a new liquid hydrogen trailer design and another first of a kind order for a liquid hydrogen and LOX pump skid for a space launch customer.  Additionally, we are currently working with 8 different customers under non-disclosure agreements (“NDA”) for hydrogen applications, compared to being under 4 NDAs for hydrogen at the end of the first quarter 2020.  And in our ongoing efforts to provide state of the art products for clean energy, promote ESG initiatives and provide the safest products to the industry, we will be building a hydrogen test facility at our New Prague, Minnesota location.  The test facility will greatly enhance industry knowledge regarding safe procedures for the design of equipment and handling of hydrogen at fueling stations, transfill storage depots and other hydrogen plants in addition to being used to test new hydrogen-related products designed and manufactured by Chart.  Testing at the new facility is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2020.

Backlog of $697.3 million includes $72 million for Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass project.  E&C Cryogenics’ backlog excluding big LNG (excluding Calcasieu Pass) increased 3% versus the first quarter of 2020 and 10% compared to last year’s second quarter.  Both D&S businesses’ backlog have demonstrated resiliency through this global pandemic, including Distribution & Storage West (“D&S West”) record backlog of $157.3 million as of June 30, 2020.  One aspect of the resiliency of these businesses is our focus on long-term partnerships and agreements.  We have worked to expand our long-term agreements to more customers, include parts, repair and service in those agreements, and target longer durations.  Historically, we had few long-term agreements and none had a repair and service element.  In the second quarter 2020, we executed agreements with significant industrial gas customers such as Matheson and Praxair.  We have added an extensive parts, repair and service agreement with a major industrial gas customer, and in June, we completed our first-ever service agreement in Europe with GASUM for parts, service, remote monitoring and calibration services for all GASUM LNG/LCNG stations supplied by Chart to the Nordic Countries.  Our long-term agreements now touch a broader set of products and are a lever in our medium-term target of over 20% of total revenue in aftermarket, repair and service.

Our aftermarket, repair and service revenue for the second quarter of 2020 represents over 13.5% of our total revenue. This is an increase from both the first quarter of 2020 which was 13% and from the full year of 2019 which was 12.2%.  In 2019, no individual quarter included aftermarket, repair and service revenue greater than 12.8% of total revenue.

We continue to structure the business for profitable growth.  Since January 1, 2020, we have reduced headcount by 25% (over 1,100 headcount reduction) while investing in the commercial and engineering organizations.  Through June, these changes are expected to result in annualized savings of $61.2 million.  In early July, we executed on a further reduction in force in our midstream and upstream air cooler business within Energy & Chemicals FinFans (“E&C FinFans”) to continue to size the necessary workforce to volume levels.  This equates to anticipated $3 million of annualized savings.  While June 2020 FinFan orders were better than April and May 2020, we continue to see weakness in our traditional oil and gas markets.  Also, in the third quarter, we expect additional restructuring charges related to consolidating our Tulsa, Oklahoma air cooler facility into our Beasley, Texas location at which we own 260 acres of land.  Annualized cost savings resulting from the reduction of this rooftop is expected to be $12 million, and we expect the project to be completed in approximately 9 months.  We will maintain a small office location in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the engineering and sales teams, and we are pleased to share that we have been able to offer all of our remaining Tulsa based team members the opportunity to relocate to Beasley, Texas. The following is the breakdown of projected savings and associated costs by segment by quarter (dollars in millions):

Given the cost actions and our profitable volume mix, we expect gross margin as a percent of sales to expand throughout the remainder of 2020.  Second quarter gross margin as a percent of sales was 29.8% on a GAAP basis, and when adjusted for severance, was 30.3%, a 210 basis point improvement over the second quarter of 2019 and a 60 basis point improvement sequentially from the first quarter of 2020.  Normalized SG&A of $43 million in the second quarter was in line with our expectations and we expect this to continue in the $43 to $44 million dollar range for the remaining two quarters of 2020.

“The clean energy transition is well underway, kickstarted by multiple countries issuing new regulations and stimulus packages to move toward LNG, hydrogen, biogas and energy storage amongst other renewables,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart Industries’ CEO and President.  “We are well positioned with our existing product and engineering offerings, global geographic manufacturing locations and cost structure to be an early leader in many of these markets and applications.  LNG is certainly the most mature of the fuels in the transition, and coupling that with the accelerating hydrogen demand, we see a distinct, conscious move toward alternative power sources globally that will contribute to our ongoing mid-single digit organic, profitable growth.”

Second quarter 2020 reported diluted earnings per share was $0.57, a sequential increase of $0.33 compared to the first quarter of 2020.  When adjusted for one-time costs, EPS was $0.63.  Severance costs of $4.3 million were associated with our second quarter reductions in force.  Total restructuring costs resulted in a $0.18 addback to adjusted diluted EPS, offset by the completion of the sale of our former Chinese manufacturing location, which resulted in a gain on sale of $2.6 million, or $0.07 of adjusted diluted EPS.  Finally, adjusted diluted EPS is reduced from the benefit of our mark-to-market on our minority investments of $0.02, and the tax effect of these adjustments.

Debt paydown is our priority for utilization of the cash we generate.  In the second quarter, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $54.8 million, and we generated $44 million of free cash flow from operations (after $11 million of capital expenditures).  This brings our net leverage ratio to 2.97, down from 3.12 at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

OUTLOOK 2020

Based on increased clarity in our markets and economy after the disruption earlier in the year from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reinstating guidance for 2020.  Full year 2020 sales are expected to be $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion and includes $46 million of Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass revenue in the second half of the year.  We anticipate full year diluted adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.00 to $3.50 on 35.3 million weighted average shares outstanding.  Our assumed effective tax rate is 19% for the full year 2020.

Our capital expenditures are flexible, and we will continue to assess the spend as the year progresses.  At this time, we anticipate capex spend will be in the $30 million to $35 million range.  This is an increase from our prior guidance of $25 million to $30 million, due to our planned investment in our new greenfield parts, repair and service location in the eastern United States which has been very positively received by our customers through the long-term agreement processes.  The total cost of the project is $7 million, and we have included $5 million of it in the 2020 capex guidance.  Additionally, there is approximately $3.5 million of capex required for our building expansion to house the air-cooled heat exchanger product lines that will be consolidated into our Texas facility.  We have included half of this in our 2020 guidance.

⁽¹⁾ During the first and second quarters of 2020, we recorded $5.2 and $5.6 in restructuring costs, respectively, primarily related to headcount reductions, in order to manage through a downturn in our E&C FinFans segment and smaller reductions in our other segments and corporate in order to reduce redundant work.  During the second quarter of 2019, we recorded $4.4 of restructuring costs primarily related to the closure of a facility in D&S East, as well as departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions.  We also incurred $2.4 in transaction-related and other one-time costs during the second quarter of 2019.
⁽²⁾ Includes a $2.6 gain on sale of a facility in China for the three months ended June 30, 2020 recorded within our D&S East segment.
⁽³⁾ Includes $1.7 in expense recognized in cost of sales related to inventory step-up for the first half of 2019.  We also incurred $0.8 related to integration activities for a previous acquisition in the three months ended June 30, 2019.
⁽⁴⁾ COVID-19 related costs include freight, sourcing and safety costs directly related to manufacture and fulfillment of critical care products.
⁽⁵⁾ Includes $1.7 related to the accelerated tax impacts of closing a China facility.
⁽⁶⁾ Includes an additional 1.81 shares related to the convertible notes due 2024 and associated warrants in our diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  The associated hedge, which helps offset this dilution, cannot be taken into account under U.S. GAAP.  If the hedge could have been considered, it would have reduced the additional shares by 1.25 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Management believes that adjusted earnings per share facilitates useful period-to-period comparisons of our financial results and this information is used by us in evaluating internal performance.  Our calculation of this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
