Insights

Hydrofarm's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While net sales decreased by 13.1% to $54.8 million, the company managed to deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth time in five quarters, highlighting the effectiveness of their restructuring efforts. The Adjusted Gross Profit Margin improved sequentially, indicating a strategic focus on higher-margin proprietary brands.

However, the increased net loss of $23.5 million is concerning, primarily due to a $11.5 million non-cash loss from the IGE Asset Sale. On the positive side, the company generated $3.4 million in Free Cash Flow, demonstrating improved operational efficiency. The reaffirmed 2024 outlook, including expectations of positive Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, suggests management's confidence in their turnaround strategy despite ongoing industry challenges.

The hydroponics industry continues to face headwinds, as evidenced by Hydrofarm's 10.3% decline in volume/mix of products sold. This is primarily attributed to an oversupply in the cannabis industry. However, there are potential catalysts on the horizon, notably the possible rescheduling of cannabis, which could drive demand.

Hydrofarm's strategic focus on higher-margin proprietary brands and operational efficiency improvements are prudent moves in this challenging environment. The company's ability to maintain profitability and generate positive cash flow amid industry softness is commendable. The exclusive supply agreement resulting from the IGE Asset Sale could prove beneficial, potentially lowering fixed costs and improving profitability on future sales of proprietary IGE products.

Hydrofarm's restructuring and cost-saving initiatives are yielding significant results. The 20% reduction in SG&A and Adjusted SG&A expenses demonstrates effective cost management, primarily through decreased compensation costs, facilities expenses and professional fees. The streamlining and consolidation of manufacturing operations should lead to further cost savings through increased utilization and productivity.

However, the decrease in Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin due to lower productivity in select manufacturing facilities is a concern. This suggests that while cost-cutting measures are effective, there may be operational challenges in maintaining efficiency across all facilities. The company's focus on inventory reduction and working capital management to generate positive Free Cash Flow is a sound strategy in the current market conditions.

Restructuring and Cost Savings Initiatives Continue to Yield Substantial Expense Reductions

Reaffirms 2024 Outlook on Key Metrics

SHOEMAKERSVILLE, Pa., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. (“Hydrofarm” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HYFM), a leading independent manufacturer and distributor of branded hydroponics equipment and supplies for controlled environment agriculture, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights vs. Prior Year Period:

  • Net sales decreased to $54.8 million compared to $63.1 million.
  • Gross Profit Margin decreased to 19.8% of net sales compared to 23.0%.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) decreased to 24.4% of net sales compared to 27.0%.
  • Net loss increased to $23.5 million compared to $12.9 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $1.7 million compared to $2.5 million.
  • Cash from operating activities and Free Cash Flow(1) were $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
  • Completed the previously announced IGE Asset Sale(2) in May 2024.

(1) Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures. For reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” accompanying the release.

(2) Asset Sale references the sale of assets related to the production of the Company’s Innovative Growers Equipment (“IGE”) branded durable equipment products.

Bill Toler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hydrofarm, said, “In the second quarter we delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the fourth time in the last five quarters, illustrating the effectiveness of our restructuring plan and related cost savings efforts. We also increased our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) on a sequential basis, as we continue to strategically focus on higher margin proprietary brands and enhancing our operational efficiency. Year to date, we delivered $1.7 million of improvement in Adjusted EBITDA(1) and this was notably our lowest first half year over year net sales decline in the last three years. During the quarter we further optimized our manufacturing footprint by streamlining and consolidating operations. We expect these actions to result in additional cost savings via increased utilization and productivity at our remaining facilities. Alongside our own initiatives, we are also excited about potential industry demand tailwinds, most notably the possible rescheduling of cannabis. While the industry remains soft today, we continue to operate profitably and are confident in our long-term business fundamentals and growth opportunity.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2024 decreased 13.1% to $54.8 million compared to $63.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, mainly due to a 10.3% decline in volume/mix of products sold. The decrease in volume/mix was primarily related to an oversupply in the cannabis industry.

Gross profit decreased to $10.9 million, or 19.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $14.5 million, or 23.0% of net sales, in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit(1) decreased to $13.3 million, or 24.4% of net sales, compared to $17.0 million, or 27.0% of net sales, in the prior year period. Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) decreased primarily due to lower productivity in select manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was $18.7 million, compared to $23.5 million in the prior year period, and Adjusted SG&A(1) expense was $11.6 million compared to $14.6 million in the prior year period. The 20% cost reduction in SG&A and Adjusted SG&A(1) expense was primarily due to a decrease in compensation costs from headcount, facilities cost, professional fees, and insurance cost, which were aided by the Company’s restructuring actions and related cost saving initiatives.

Net loss increased to $23.5 million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, in the prior year period. The increase in net loss was due to the $11.5 million primarily non-cash loss recorded upon completion of the Asset Sale. In connection with the transaction, which closed in the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive supply agreement with the buyer to provide contract manufacturing. The Company expects the transaction and new arrangement to lower fixed costs and improve profitability on future sales of its proprietary branded IGE products.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $1.7 million, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period. The reduction is related to lower Adjusted Gross Profit(1) partly offset by lower Adjusted SG&A(1) expense.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $30.3 million in cash and approximately $20 million of available borrowing capacity on its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company ended the second quarter with $120.2 million in principal balance on its Term Loan outstanding, $8.5 million in finance leases, and $0.1 million in other debt outstanding. During 2024 and 2023, the Company has maintained a zero balance on its Revolving Credit Facility and is in compliance with debt covenants as of June 30, 2024.

The Company had net cash from operating activities of $3.8 million and invested $0.4 million in capital expenditures, yielding Free Cash Flow(1) of $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Free Cash Flow(1) decreased from the same period last year, primarily due to working capital changes, including from the Company’s recent inventory investment in new distribution relationships.

Reaffirms Full Year 2024 Outlook on Key Metrics

The Company is reaffirming its full year 2024 outlook on its key metrics:

  • Net sales to decrease low to high teens in percentage terms.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) that is positive.
  • Free Cash Flow(1) that is positive.        

Hydrofarm’s 2024 outlook also reaffirms the following assumptions, consistent with previous expectations:

  • Improved year-over-year Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) resulting primarily from (i) cost savings associated with restructuring actions and related productivity initiatives and (ii) an expectation of minimal non-restructuring inventory reserves or related charges, consistent with previous expectations.
  • Reduced year-over-year Adjusted SG&A(1) expense resulting primarily from (i) full year benefit of headcount reductions completed in 2023 and (ii) reductions in professional fees, facilities and insurance expenses, consistent with previous expectations.
  • Reduction in inventory and net working capital helping to generate positive Free Cash Flow(1) for the full year.

Hydrofarm’s 2024 outlook also includes the following updated assumption:

  • Capital expenditures of $3.5 million to $4.5 million, compared to the prior expectation of $4.0 million to $5.0 million.

(1) Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures. For reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” accompanying the release.

Notes to GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations presented above (Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow):

  1. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Restructuring expenses related primarily to manufacturing facility consolidations, and the charges incurred to relocate and terminate certain facilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Restructuring expenses related primarily to the relocation and termination of certain facilities in Canada and the closure of the Company’s supply chain management office in China.
  2. Includes stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation for the periods presented.
  3. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Severance and other charges primarily related to estimated legal costs related to certain litigation and severance charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Severance and other charges primarily related to workforce reductions and charges in conjunction with a sale-leaseback transaction during the first quarter of 2023.
  4. Other income, net related primarily to foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Other expense, net also included charges from Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan.
  5. Loss on asset disposition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, relates to the IGE Asset Sale.
  6. The total gross proceeds associated with the IGE Asset Sale were $8.7 million, of which the Company estimated and classified $5.0 million in Net cash from operating activities, and $3.7 million in Investing activities, as these cash flows were associated with the sale of inventory and property, plant and equipment, respectively. The cash proceeds classified within Net cash from operating activities were partially offset by $1.3 million cash paid to terminate the associated facility lease and cash transaction costs paid during the period. As a result, the Asset Sale contributed an estimated $3.5 million to Net cash from operating activities and Free Cash Flow during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, in connection with the Asset Sale, the Company paid $0.7 million to terminate certain equipment finance leases and classified this cash outflow within Financing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In total, the IGE Asset Sale contributed net cash proceeds, after repayment of certain lease liabilities and transaction expenses, of an estimated $6.3 million. In 2023, gross proceeds of $8.6 million received during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from a sale-leaseback of real estate located in Eugene, Oregon, was classified as a Financing activity and is not reflected in Net cash from operating activities or Free Cash Flow in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance and that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude period-to-period from net loss provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Gross Profit”, “Adjusted SG&A”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Net Debt”, and “Liquidity” which are non-GAAP financial measures. We also present certain of these non-GAAP metrics as a percentage of net sales. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are several limitations related to the use of our non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as net loss (GAAP) excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, stock-based compensation including employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, restructuring charges which represent fundamental changes to our operations, and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs (i.e., impairments, severance, loss on asset disposition, acquisition and integration expenses, distribution center exit costs, and other income/expense, net), which we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as a percent of net sales as adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) divided by net sales realized in the respective period.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit (non-GAAP) as gross profit (GAAP) excluding depreciation, depletion, and amortization, restructuring charges, and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs (i.e., severance and other expenses, and acquisition and integration expenses), which we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit Margin (non-GAAP) as a percent of net sales as Adjusted Gross Profit (as defined above) divided by net sales realized in the respective period.

We define Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) as SG&A (GAAP) excluding depreciation, depletion, and amortization, stock-based compensation including employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs (i.e., severance and other expenses, acquisition and integration expenses, and distribution center exit costs), which we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance.

We define Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) as a percent of net sales as Adjusted SG&A (as defined above) divided by net sales realized in the respective period.

We define Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) as Net cash from (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. We believe this provides additional insight into the Company’s ability to generate cash and maintain liquidity. However, Free Cash Flow does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt or other cash flows from financing activities. The disclosed year over year improvement in Free Cash Flow represents the current period Free Cash Flow balance less the prior period Free Cash Flow balance.

We define Liquidity as total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, if applicable, plus available borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility.

We define Net Debt as total debt principal outstanding plus finance lease liabilities, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, if applicable.
