Insights

Financial Analyst

Hillman Solutions demonstrated resilient performance in Q3 2024, with notable improvements in profitability despite a slight revenue decline. Net income increased to $7.4 million ($0.04 per share) from $5.1 million year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA grew to $72.6 million, up 8.7%. The company's deleveraging efforts are paying off, with net debt-to-EBITDA improving to 2.8x from 3.7x last year.

The strategic acquisition of Intex DIY expands product offerings and customer reach. Strong operational execution is evident in the 95% fill rate and vendor recognition from major customers. The updated guidance, including projected revenue of $1.455-1.485 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $250 million, reflects confidence in sustained performance improvement.

Market Research Analyst

The hardware solutions sector shows resilience despite macro headwinds, with Hillman's performance indicating strong market positioning. Winning vendor awards from both Lowe's and Home Depot signals robust relationships with key retail partners, important for maintaining market share. The strategic expansion into cleaning textiles through Intex DIY acquisition demonstrates smart diversification in adjacent categories.

The 1.4% revenue decline suggests some market softness, but improved profitability metrics and strong cash generation indicate effective operational management. The company's extensive SKU portfolio and high fill rates create significant barriers to entry, supporting long-term competitive advantages in the hardware solutions market.

Management Commentary

"Our strong results for the third quarter were driven by efficient operations across the organization while taking great care of our customers," commented Doug Cahill, Chairman, President and CEO of Hillman. "Our 1,100 field sales and service folks continue to regularly manage the aisle for our customers, and our operations team has done a great job shipping our 114,000 SKUs to our customers on time and in full - demonstrated by our year-to-date fill rate of 95 percent."

“During the quarter we acquired Intex DIY, a leading supplier of cleaning rags, cloths, and textiles. This acquisition adds new products to our portfolio, and allows us to sell into new aisles and to new customers. We continue to seek bolt-on acquisitions like Intex DIY, that allow us to leverage our competitive moat to fuel long-term organic growth."

"Subsequent to the quarter end, we won 2024 vendor partner of the year awards at our top two customers, Lowe's and Home Depot. We are proud of this recognition and grateful for the hardworking Hillman team that made this happen. Taking care of our customers has always been the lifeblood of this company and has been the key driver our long-term success. As we look forward, the partnership and trust we have with our customers and our new business pipeline give us confidence that we are well positioned to grow our top and bottom line in 2025."

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze underlying business performance and trends. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the Company’s and investors’ ability to compare the Company’s past financial performance with its current performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are not provided for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP financial measures such as consolidated adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) exclude from the relevant GAAP metrics items that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business, nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments as well as to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

(in thousands, except per share data)

Unaudited

We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as reported diluted EPS excluding the effect of one-time, non-recurring activity and volatility associated with our income tax expense. The Company believes that Adjusted Diluted EPS provides further insight and comparability in operating performance as it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. The following is a reconciliation of reported diluted EPS from continuing operations to Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations:

Reconciliation of Net Debt

We define Net Debt as reported gross debt less cash on hand. Net debt is not defined under U.S. GAAP and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that Net Debt provides further insight and comparability into liquidity and capital structure. The following is the calculation of Net Debt:

	September 28, 2024				December 30, 2023
Revolving loans	$	—			$	—
Senior term loan, due 2028		747,597				751,852

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow

We calculate free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated by our business operations and is a measure of incremental cash available to invest in our business and meet our debt obligations.
