Insights

The reported fiscal data for Hayward Holdings, Inc. indicates a mixed financial performance with a notable year-over-year increase in net sales and net income for Q4, contrasted by a year-over-year decrease for the full fiscal year. The substantial growth in Q4 net income, which nearly doubled and the significant increase in adjusted EBITDA suggest a strong operational quarter. However, the full-year figures reflect a downturn, likely influenced by broader macroeconomic factors and geopolitical tensions.

Investors should consider the improved gross profit margins as a positive indicator of efficient cost management and pricing strategies. Nevertheless, the overall decline in annual net sales and net income may raise concerns about the company's ability to maintain profitability in volatile markets. The strong cash flow from operations is a critical aspect, enhancing the company's liquidity and potentially providing resilience against economic headwinds.

Hayward's Q4 performance, particularly in the North American market, reflects a robust demand for early buy shipments, which can be attributed to the company's strategic pricing adjustments and volume growth. The expansion of gross profit margin by 690 basis points in Q4 is a testament to Hayward's operational efficiency and suggests a competitive edge in managing manufacturing costs.

The outlook for FY 2024, with an anticipated return to sales and earnings growth, indicates confidence in the company's strategic initiatives and product adoption. However, the caution around global macro conditions and consumer spending underlines the importance of closely monitoring market trends. The emphasis on SmartPad™ technology adoption highlights the company's focus on innovation and market differentiation, which is crucial for sustaining long-term growth in the competitive pool equipment industry.

The reported financial results and the forward-looking statements by Hayward Holdings, Inc. reflect broader economic trends, such as supply chain normalization and channel inventory destocking. These factors are indicative of the company's adaptation to the post-pandemic market environment. The return to established seasonal buying patterns suggests a stabilization in the market that could positively influence future sales cycles.

Despite the downturn in the full fiscal year figures, the strong Q4 performance could signify a turning point in response to inflationary pressures and shifting consumer behaviors. The decline in the effective tax rate for Q4 presents a potential financial advantage that could improve net income margins. Investors should note the company's strategic focus on operational excellence and technology leadership, which could serve as a buffer against ongoing economic uncertainties.

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, 2023.

CEO COMMENTS

“Our fourth quarter results were consistent with expectations,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered net sales and earnings growth, record gross profit margins, and better than projected cash flow. 2023 was characterized by a normalization of supply chains, channel inventory destocking, and a return to established seasonal buying patterns. Despite the macroeconomic impact on the consumer, I am proud of the strong execution of our team, resulting in gross profit margin expansion, delivery of our SG&A cost reduction program, and robust cash flow growth. We accomplished many important strategic initiatives to strengthen our competitive advantages and drive profitable growth. This included advancing our technology leadership position with innovative connected pool solutions, leveraging our culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence, and expanding commercial relationships across sales channels. While economic conditions remain uncertain and our customers are taking a cautious approach ahead of the peak pool season, I am confident in our team’s ability to continue executing on our growth strategy and to create value for shareholders.”

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2023 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales increased by 8% to $278.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in net sales during the quarter was the result of higher volumes and favorable pricing. The growth in volume was primarily the result of strong early buy shipments.

Gross profit increased by 25% to $137.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross profit margin increased 690 basis points to 49.2%. The increase in gross margin was principally due to the management of our manufacturing costs as well as less provisioning for slow-moving or obsolete inventory as compared to the prior-year period.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by 2% to $61.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $60.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 130 basis points to 22%, compared to the prior-year period of 23% due to the increase in net sales. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, or 2% of net sales, as compared to $5.9 million for the prior-year period, or 2% of net sales.

Operating income increased by 54% to $55.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales resulting from a strong early buy season. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (“operating margin”) was 19.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a 600 basis point increase from the 13.9% operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 8% to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily as a result of variable rate increases on the term loan and incremental term loan, partially offset by net interest income on our interest rate swaps and interest income on cash investment balances.

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $8.1 million for an effective tax rate of 20.6%, compared to $6.9 million at an effective tax rate of 30.2% for the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in income from operations as well as a reduced benefit from stock option exercises due to timing of exercises during the year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by reduced tax expense for nondeductible compensation and the absence of withholding taxes on foreign earnings that occurred during the prior-year period.

Net income increased by 94% to $31.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA* increased by 42% to $75.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin* expanded 660 basis points to 27.2%.

Diluted EPS increased by 100% to $0.14 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted diluted EPS* increased by 82% to $0.20 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2023 SEGMENT RESULTS

North America

Net sales increased by 10% to $238.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in volume and the favorable impact of price. The growth in volume was driven by strong early buy shipments, partially offset by the moderation of end market demand trends due to macroeconomic factors and a changing competitive landscape in certain markets. The increase in net price was due to price increases enacted to offset inflationary pressure.

Segment income increased by 74% to $71.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted segment income increased by 60% to $75.4 million.

Europe & Rest of World

Net sales decreased by 4% to $40.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in volume as a result of the moderation of end market demand due to macroeconomic factors and channel destocking, partially offset by the favorable impact of price and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Segment income decreased by 6% to $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted segment income decreased by 3% to $8.1 million.

FULL FISCAL YEAR 2023 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales decreased by 24% to $992.5 million for the full fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of the moderation of end market demand trends due to macroeconomic factors and distribution channel destocking. Geopolitical factors in Europe also contributed to the decline in volume. The increase in net price was due to price increases enacted to offset inflationary pressure.

Gross profit decreased by 20% to $477.0 million for the full fiscal year 2023. Gross profit margin increased to 48.1% for the fiscal year 2023, an increase of 270 basis points compared to the prior full year, primarily due to the management of manufacturing costs and the net price increase discussed above, partially offset by lower operating leverage.

Operating income decreased by 39% to $175.2 million for the full fiscal year 2023. The decrease in operating income was driven by the decrease in net sales. Operating margin was 17.7% in the full fiscal year 2023, a 400 basis point reduction from the 21.7% operating margin in the prior full year.

Net income decreased by 55% to $80.7 million for the full fiscal year 2023. Adjusted net income decreased by 46% to $122.9 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA* decreased by 33% to $247.3 million for the full fiscal year 2023 driven primarily by decreased net sales and lower operating leverage, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin* decreased by 310 basis points to 24.9% for the full fiscal year 2023 compared to the prior fiscal year.

Diluted EPS decreased by 53% to $0.37 for the full fiscal year 2023. Adjusted diluted EPS* decreased by 43% to $0.56 for the fiscal year 2023.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of December 31, 2023, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $178.1 million and approximately $256.5 million available for borrowing under its credit facilities. Cash flow from operations for fiscal 2023 of approximately $185 million was an increase of approximately $69 million from the prior year as a result of an increase in cash generated by working capital compared to cash used for working capital during the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in net income.

OUTLOOK

Hayward is introducing 2024 guidance reflecting a return to sales and earnings growth driven by solid execution across the organization, positive price realization and continued technology adoption. The guidance range also contemplates continued uncertainty around global macro conditions and consumer spending, coupled with our current expectations regarding channel inventory levels. For fiscal year 2024, Hayward expects net sales of approximately $1.010 billion to $1.060 billion, or an increase of approximately 2% to 7%, and Adjusted EBITDA* of $255 million to $275 million.

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 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 2024 guidance; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; future channel stocking levels; and growth and expansion opportunities. 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 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; 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; the impact of product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic and other events beyond Hayward's control; uncertainties of 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; customer decisions to reduce inventory levels; 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 and adjusted segment income margin. 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 or performance 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 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance (which is presented on a basis similar to the presentation of historical adjusted EBITDA) is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.
