CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) (“Hayward” or the “Company”), a global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool and outdoor living technology, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

CEO COMMENTS

“Our fourth quarter performance was consistent with expectations, reflecting the continued reduction of channel inventory days on hand,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “2022 was characterized by record sell-through of Hayward products as reported by our primary channel partners in the core U.S. market, continued market share gain, and a normalization of channel inventory in the second half. Throughout the year, we took many proactive steps to strengthen Hayward’s position as a premier company in the attractive pool industry, including introducing innovative new solutions and demonstrating agile manufacturing capability. We remained focused on protecting structural gross profit margins through disciplined price actions and manufacturing cost control while funding our growth investments. We successfully executed our enterprise cost reduction program and are on track to deliver the targeted annual SG&A cost savings of $25 million to $30 million in 2023. We expect these actions to drive the Company’s strong financial metrics and provide a solid foundation for future growth.”

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales decreased by 27% to $259.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decline in net sales during the quarter was the result of lower volumes, partially offset by favorable pricing and acquisitions. The decline in volume was primarily the result of reduced distribution channel inventory days on hand as supply chain pressure eased and lead times normalized. Macroeconomic uncertainty associated with the rising interest rate environment and geopolitical factors in Europe also contributed to the decline in volume.

Gross profit decreased by 34% to $109.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin decreased 466 basis points to 42.3%. The decrease in gross margin was principally due to the decline in volume resulting in lower operating leverage, as well as provisioning for slow moving or obsolete inventory.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses remained relatively consistent at $60.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $60.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 630 basis points to 23%, compared to the prior-year period of 17% due to the decrease in net sales. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, or 2% of net sales, as compared to $6.7 million for the prior-year period, or 2% of net sales.

Operating income decreased by 55% to $36.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in operating income was driven by lower sales. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (“operating margin”) was 13.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, an 864 basis point reduction from the 22.6% operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 90% to $16.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily as a result of variable rate increases on the term loan, utilization of the ABL revolving credit facility and interest expense on the incremental term loan opened during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $6.9 million for an effective tax rate of 30.2%, compared to $14.3 million at an effective tax rate of 18.4% for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income from operations as well as a reduced benefit from stock option exercises.

Net income decreased by 75% to $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 50% to $53.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 943 basis points to 20.6%.

Diluted GAAP EPS decreased by 72% to $0.07 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased by 61% to $0.11 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2022 SEGMENT RESULTS

North America

Net sales decreased by 27% to $216.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in volume, partially offset by increases in price and the favorable impact of acquisitions. The decline in volume was primarily the result of reduced distribution channel inventory days on hand as supply chain pressure eased and lead times normalized, as well as macroeconomic uncertainty associated with increasing concerns of an economic slowdown due to the rising interest rate environment. The increase in the net price was due to price increases enacted to offset inflationary pressure, as well as reduced sales rebates to customers for the seasonal year.

Segment income decreased by 56% to $40.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income decreased by 54% to $47.2 million.

Europe & Rest of World

Net sales decreased by 23% to $42.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in volume as a result of geopolitical factors and macroeconomic uncertainty, unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, and channel destocking, partially offset by the favorable impact of price increases.

Segment income decreased by 61% to $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income decreased by 49% to $8.4 million.

FULL FISCAL YEAR 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales decreased by 6% to $1,314.1 million for the full fiscal year 2022. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of lower volumes due to channel inventory corrections after a year of safety stock buildup as supply chain pressures eased and lead times returned to historical levels, even as end-customer demand remained strong for the year despite macroeconomic uncertainty associated with the rising interest rate environment.

Gross profit decreased by 9% to $597.0 million for the full fiscal year 2022. Gross profit margin decreased to 45.4% for the fiscal year 2022, a decrease of 135 basis points compared to the prior full year, primarily due to the decline in volume resulting in lower operating leverage.

Operating income decreased by 10% to $285.6 million for the full fiscal year 2022. The decrease in operating income was driven by the decrease in net sales. Operating margin was 21.7% in the full fiscal year 2022, a 95 basis point reduction from the 22.7% operating margin in the prior full year.

Net income decreased by 12% to $179.3 million for the full fiscal year 2022. Adjusted net income decreased by 17% to $226.1 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 13% to $367.6 million for the full fiscal year 2022 driven primarily by decreased net sales and lower operating leverage. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 211 basis points to 28.0% for the full fiscal year 2022 compared to the prior fiscal year.

Diluted GAAP EPS increased by 59% to $0.78 for the full fiscal year 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased by 28% to $0.98 for the fiscal year 2022.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of December 31, 2022, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $56.2 million and approximately $211.6 million available for borrowing under its credit facilities. Cash flow from operations for fiscal 2022 of approximately $116 million was a decrease of approximately $73 million from the prior year comparative period as a result of increased cash used for working capital compared to the prior year and a decrease in net income.

COST OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company initiated an enterprise cost reduction program to address the current market dynamics and maintain the Company’s strong financial metrics. The initial focus was on a reduction of variable costs with specific attention to eliminating cost inefficiencies in our supply chain and reducing labor in our production cost base. In addition to these variable cost reductions, the Company identified structural selling, general and administrative cost reduction opportunities totaling $25 million to $30 million in 2023, with initial savings of approximately $9 million that were realized in fiscal year 2022.

OUTLOOK

The pool industry remains attractive and continues to benefit from sustainable secular demand trends in outdoor living. Hayward continues to leverage our competitive advantages and drive increasing adoption of our leading SmartPad™ pool equipment products both in new construction and the aftermarket, which represents approximately 80% of our business. Hayward is confident in its long-term outlook for profitable growth and robust cash flow generation, driven by new product innovation, expanding commercial relationships, and operational excellence.

Hayward is introducing 2023 guidance that reflects more challenging macroeconomic conditions and consequently an additional reduction of channel inventory levels. For fiscal year 2023, Hayward expects net sales to decrease 18% to 22%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $265 million to $285 million.

Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, Hayward repurchased approximately $343.1 million in common stock under its previously approved share repurchase program up to an aggregate of $450 million of common stock. On July 26, 2022, Hayward’s Board of Directors renewed the initial authorization of the existing repurchase program and authorized Hayward to repurchase up to an aggregate of $450 million of its common stock over the next three years of which $400.0 million remains under the renewed authorization. The repurchase program will continue to be funded by cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward’s management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “guidance,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward’s 2023 guidance; SG&A cost savings; financial position; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; growth and expansion opportunities; operating results; and working capital and liquidity. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward’s forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.

Important factors that could affect Hayward’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward’s products to pool owners; impacts on Hayward’s business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic business and weather conditions; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; Hayward’s ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; impacts on Hayward’s business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating foreign businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; Hayward’s ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; its reliance on information technology systems and susceptibility to threats to those systems, including cybersecurity threats, and risks arising from its collection and use of personal information data; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward’s current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; Hayward’s ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; Hayward’s ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation; Hayward’s ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements and tariffs, or address the impacts of climate change; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on Hayward’s product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic and other events beyond its control, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; uncertainties affecting the pace of distribution channel destocking and its impact on sales volumes; Hayward’s ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities; Hayward’s and its customers’ ability to manage product inventory in an effective and efficient manner; and other factors set forth in “Risk Factors” in Hayward’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward’s expectations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) including adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, consolidated segment income, adjusted consolidated segment income, adjusted consolidated segment income margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, net debt and free cash flow. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), segment income or other measures of profitability, performance or financial condition under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of fiscal 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.
