First Quarter Segment Review
- Climate Solutions segment sales were
$244.4 million , compared with$206.5 million one year ago, an increase of 18 percent. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 25 percent from the prior year. This increase was driven by higher sales of heat transfer, HVAC and refrigeration, and data center cooling products. The segment reported gross margin of 20.6 percent, which was 480 basis points higher than the prior year, primarily due to higher sales volume, favorable pricing and improved operating efficiencies. The segment reported operating income of$27.0 million , a 152 percent increase from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was$32.4 million , an increase of$15.4 million , or 91 percent, from the prior year. - Performance Technologies segment sales were
$304.3 million , compared with$297.1 million one year ago, an increase of 2 percent. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 7 percent. This increase primarily resulted from favorable pricing, including adjustments in response to raw material price increases and higher sales volume. Compared with the prior year, sales of air-cooled and advanced solution products increased and were partially offset by lower sales of liquid-cooled products and the absence of sales from the Austrian air-cooled automotive business, which we sold during the first quarter last year. The segment reported gross margin of 10.8 percent, down 270 basis points from the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by ongoing inflationary pressures, including significantly higher material prices as compared to the prior year. Margins continue to be temporarily impacted by the lag in our contract provisions for raw material price adjustments and other ongoing pricing negotiations. The segment reported operating income of$7.4 million , an$8.3 million decrease compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was$17.1 million , a decrease of$3.8 million from the prior year.

These efforts are supporting our strategic transformation, and we expect further progress against our targeted initiatives, which will support a strong fiscal 2023 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, net debt, free cash flow, and constant currency (which are defined below) as used in this press release are not measures that are defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are used by management as performance measures to evaluate the Company's overall financial performance and liquidity. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for the applicable GAAP measures, and may be different from similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Definition – Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, the provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, other income and expense, restructuring expenses, impairment charges or reversals, costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Company's automotive businesses, strategic reorganization costs and certain other gains or charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide relevant measures of profitability and earnings power. The Company views these financial metrics as being useful in assessing operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that it believes are not representative of its core business. Adjusted EBITDA, when calculated for the business segments, is defined as GAAP operating income excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, restructuring expenses, impairment charges or reversals, and certain other gains or charges.
Definition – Adjusted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share plus restructuring expenses, impairment charges or reversals, costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Company's automotive businesses, strategic reorganization costs, and excluding changes in income tax valuation allowances and certain other gains or charges. Adjusted earnings per share is an overall performance measure, not including non-cash impairment charges, costs associated with restructuring activities and certain other gains or charges.
Definition – Net debt
The sum of debt due within one year and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is an indicator of the Company's debt position after considering on-hand cash balances.
Definition – Free cash flow
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow presents cash generated from operations during the period that is available for strategic capital decisions.
Definition – Constant currency
Constant currency translates financial data from foreign operations for a period into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates as those used to translate financial data for the prior period. This measure provides a more consistent indication of our performance, without the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure
The Company's fiscal 2023 guidance includes adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The full-year fiscal 2023 guidance for adjusted EBITDA is based upon the Company's estimates for interest expense of approximately
