ATLANTA, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA) announced today that for its fiscal 2022 second quarter ended March 31, 2022, net sales were
During the 2022 second quarter, the Company:
- Increased net sales 16.1 percent to
$310.5 million as compared with$267.5 million in the prior year quarter. - Reported operating income of
$34.2 million as compared with$33.4 million in the prior year quarter and generated adjusted operating income of$34.8 million as compared with$35.2 million in the prior year quarter. - Increased net income 12.9 percent to
$23.6 million as compared with net income of$20.9 million in the prior year quarter and increased adjusted net income 8.6 percent to$24.1 million as compared with$22.2 million in the prior year quarter. - Increased net income per diluted share 15.4 percent to
$0.15 as compared with$0.13 in the prior year quarter and increased adjusted net income per diluted share 7.1 percent to$0.15 as compared with$0.14 in the prior year quarter. - Generated adjusted EBITDA of
$50.6 million as compared with$50.7 million in the prior year quarter.
“We achieved record second quarter net sales and delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit net sales growth supported by improved price realization and continued strong demand. We are encouraged that our price realization more than offset inflation for the first time in more than a year. We also continued to experience solid order growth in the quarter, with end market activity remaining robust in both municipal repair and replacement, and new residential construction. I am pleased with the diligence and focus of our teams as they continue to secure materials for production, manage our record backlog and serve the needs of our customers during this challenging operating environment,” said Scott Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products.
“During the quarter, our conversion margins were below expectations primarily due to the operational challenges from ongoing supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and unfavorable manufacturing performance at our foundries. To help offset the ongoing inflationary and supply chain headwinds, we again took pricing actions on the majority of our steel products during the quarter. We expect that higher price realization will help offset the elevated manufacturing costs, which resulted from these challenges, and sequentially improve margins in the second half of the year.
“With another strong quarter of net sales growth, record backlog at the end of the quarter, and expected realization from price increases, we are again raising our expectations for annual net sales growth. However, we anticipate delivering improved conversion margins in the second half of the year leading to adjusted EBITDA growth for the year. While we believe the operational challenges will continue through 2022, we are confident that our teams can execute initiatives to help offset them and increase margins for the balance of the year and beyond,” Hall concluded.

- Total SG&A expenses between
$237 million and$247 million . - Net interest expense between
$18 million and$19 million . - Effective income tax rate between 24 percent and 26 percent.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also provides non-GAAP information that management believes is useful to investors. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company presents adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as performance measures because management uses these measures in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance on a consistent basis across periods and in making decisions about operational strategies. Management also believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company’s recurring performance.
The Company presents net debt and net debt leverage as performance measures because management uses them in evaluating its capital management, and the investment community commonly uses them as measures of indebtedness. The Company presents free cash flow because management believes it is commonly used by the investment community to measure the Company’s ability to create liquidity.
The calculations of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to GAAP results are included as an attachment to this press release and have been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Regulation S-K, because certain items, e.g., expenses related to corporate development activities, pension benefits and corporate restructuring, may have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts. Additionally, such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty regarding relevant items that may be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of the Company's financial performance.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company intends, expects, plans, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding outlooks, projections, forecasts, trend descriptions, environmental/sustainability plans, go-to-market strategies, operational excellence, acceleration of new product development, financial or operating performance, litigation outcomes, capital allocation and growth strategy plans, restructuring efficiencies and projected warranty charges. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by the Company in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments.
Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and results, such as effects on the financial health of customers (including collections); logistical challenges and supply chain disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conditions, or other events; an inability to realize the anticipated benefits from our operational initiatives, including our large capital investments in Chattanooga and Kimball, Tennessee, and Decatur, Illinois, plant closures, and our reorganization and related strategic realignment activities; an inability to attract or retain a skilled and diverse workforce, increased competition related to the workforce and labor markets; an inability to protect the Company’s information systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data or breaches of security; failure to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws; cyclical and changing demand in core markets such as municipal spending, construction, and natural gas distribution; government monetary or fiscal policies; the impact of adverse weather conditions; the impact of manufacturing and product performance; the impact of wage, commodity and materials price inflation; the impact of warranty claims; an inability to successfully resolve significant legal proceedings or government investigations; compliance with environmental, trade and anti-corruption laws and regulations; climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto; changing regulatory, trade and tariff conditions; the failure to integrate and/or realize any of the anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions or divestitures; an inability to achieve some or all of our Environmental, Social, and Governance goals; and other factors that are described in the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” in Item 1A of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and later filings on Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and are only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements. You are advised to review any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in subsequent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
