Insights

Holley's Q2 2024 results show a mixed performance. While net sales decreased by 3.3% to $169.5 million, net income increased by 31% to $17.1 million. The company's focus on operational improvements and cost management is evident in the 50 basis points increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin.

The company's deleveraging efforts are noteworthy, with a $10 million prepayment on their term loan and an improved bank-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 4.02x. The credit rating upgrade by S&P reflects positively on Holley's financial health. However, the conservative outlook for H2 2024 suggests caution due to macroeconomic uncertainties.

Investors should monitor Holley's ability to maintain profitability and cash flow generation in a challenging market environment. The company's transformation strategy, focusing on digital capabilities and customer experiences, could be a key driver for future growth.

Holley's Q2 results reflect the broader challenges in the automotive aftermarket sector. The 3.3% decrease in net sales indicates softening demand, likely due to macroeconomic pressures affecting consumer spending on discretionary automotive upgrades.

However, Holley's performance in its direct-to-consumer channel and successful Memorial Day campaign with distribution partners suggest effective execution of its transformation strategy. The company's focus on product innovation and strategic pricing could help it capture market share even in a softening market.

Investors should watch for Holley's ability to navigate supply chain challenges, as evidenced by improved inventory management (turns improved to 2.2x from 1.9x). The company's conservative outlook for H2 2024 aligns with industry expectations of continued market uncertainty.

“In the second quarter, amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape, we achieved significant strides in the pivotal areas of our transformation, which may not be immediately apparent due to the broader market conditions. Through ongoing improvements in our operations, we met all of our financial priorities related to cash flow, deleveraging, and cost to serve, as well as completed the final pieces of enhancing our organization's capabilities with the addition of a new Senior Vice President of Operations and Supply Chain. We are thrilled to welcome, Alex Buccilli, SVP of Operations and Supply Chain to further strengthen our operational strategies, supporting our vision for sustained growth,” said Matthew Stevenson, President and CEO of Holley.

Stevenson commented, “Our focus on the transformation centered on driving growth through enhancing our digital capabilities and customer experiences, deepening distributor partnerships, product management and innovation, and strategic pricing, is beginning to bear fruit, as evident by the meaningful year-over-year growth in our direct-to-consumer channel as well as the highly successful Memorial Day campaign where we collaborated with our distribution partners to drive their out the door sales. Moreover, we're proud to continue teaming up with the industry distribution partners to drive their out the door sales. Additionally, we take pride in the innovative products we introduced during the second quarter, which span across our remarkable innovative offerings of brands.”

¹See “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Jesse Weaver, Holley's CFO, added, "This quarter, we once again met our financial priorities. Our improved leverage ratio, backed by robust profitability, debt reduction, and more consistent free cash flow generation, was recognized by S&P Global Ratings with an upgraded credit and debt rating in June. I'm incredibly proud of our team and their efforts during this transformation, which has reinvigorated the focus on organic growth and allowed us to effectively make progress on the financial priorities we set out over 18 months ago."

Weaver added, "While we are making significant strides in our transformation, the overall macroeconomic environment remains fraught with uncertainty. Consequently, we believe adopting a conservative stance in our outlook for the latter half of the year is a prudent measure. Nonetheless, we are confident in the trajectory we have set and remain enthusiastic about the company's growth prospects. Our ability to capture market share, even in a softening market, reinforces our optimism for the future."

Outlook

Holley is providing the following outlook for the third quarter and full-year 2024:

Metric	Third Quarter 2024 Outlook	Full Year 2024 Outlook
Net Sales	$133 - $153 million	$605 - $645 million
Adjusted EBITDA *	$20 - $30 million	$117 - $132 million
Capital Expenditures		$6 - $8 million
Depreciation and Amortization Expense		$24 - $26 million
Interest Expense		$50 - $55 million
Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio *		3.75x - 4.25x

* Holley is not providing reconciliations of forward-looking third quarter 2024 and full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook and full year 2024 Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio outlook because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, Holley is unable to provide these forward-looking reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, Holley is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude these reconciliations.

Holley notes that its outlook for the third quarter and full-year 2024 may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

We present certain information with respect to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe that such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our financial performance and in comparing our financial results between periods because they exclude the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the usefulness of our financial information by presenting measures that management uses internally to establish forecasts, budgets, and operational goals to manage and monitor our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of our underlying business, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP and other financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income, gross profit, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures, as applicable, derived in accordance with GAAP.

We define EBITDA as earnings before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude, to the extent applicable, restructuring costs, which includes operational restructuring and integration activities, termination related benefits, facilities relocation, and executive transition costs; changes in the fair value of the warrant liability; changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; equity-based compensation expense; inventory charges primarily due to product rationalization initiatives that are part of a portfolio transformation aimed at eliminating unprofitable or slow-moving SKUs; gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt; notable items that we do not believe are reflective of our underlying operating performance, including litigation settlements and certain costs incurred for advisory services related to identifying performance initiatives; and other expenses or gains, which includes gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets, franchise taxes, and gains or losses from foreign currency transactions. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings excluding the after-tax effect of changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, and gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income on a per share basis. Management uses these measures to focus on on-going operations and believes that it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present consolidated operating results. We believe that using this information, along with net income and net income per diluted share, provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations.
