Insights

Novanta's Q2 2024 results show a mixed picture. While revenue increased by 2.8% year-over-year to $235.9 million, GAAP net income decreased from $20.9 million to $13.8 million. The company's organic revenue growth was negative at -5.3%, indicating challenges in core business areas.

Despite these headwinds, Novanta maintained a strong adjusted EBITDA of $51.1 million, only slightly down from $51.7 million in Q2 2023. This suggests effective cost management. The company's operating cash flow improved significantly to $41.1 million, up from $26.2 million in the same quarter last year, demonstrating solid cash generation capabilities.

Looking ahead, Novanta's full-year 2024 guidance of $975 million in revenue represents over 10% growth, indicating confidence in future performance despite current market weaknesses in industrial and life sciences sectors. The projected adjusted EBITDA range of $215-222 million suggests continued profitability, albeit with potential pressure on margins.

Novanta's Q2 results reflect broader market trends. The company's strength in medical device markets is offsetting weaknesses in industrial capital spending, particularly in Europe and China, as well as in life sciences and bioprocessing sectors. This diversification is proving important in maintaining overall growth.

The 8.9% revenue increase from acquisitions highlights Novanta's strategic growth initiatives. However, the -5.3% organic revenue decline underscores challenges in core markets. The company's focus on new product launches and anticipated strength in robotics and automation markets in H2 2024 could be key drivers for future growth.

Novanta's optimism for 2025, based on expected improvements in capital spending markets and accelerating growth from new products, suggests a potential turnaround. Investors should monitor the company's ability to capitalize on these opportunities while navigating current market headwinds.

Novanta's performance in Q2 2024 demonstrates resilience in a challenging tech landscape. The company's ability to maintain strong adjusted EBITDA despite organic revenue decline showcases effective operational management. The focus on innovative product launches is important for long-term competitiveness in the high-tech manufacturing sector.

The company's strength in medical device markets and anticipated growth in robotics and automation align with broader industry trends towards healthcare technology and industrial automation. These sectors are likely to see continued investment and innovation, potentially providing Novanta with growth opportunities.

However, the weakness in industrial capital spending, particularly in Europe and China, reflects broader economic uncertainties affecting the tech sector. Novanta's ability to navigate these challenges while positioning itself for an expected market improvement in 2025 will be critical. The company's strategic acquisitions and focus on new product development could provide a competitive edge in capitalizing on future market upturns.

“Novanta delivered another quarter of outstanding operating results,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. “In the Second Quarter, we beat expectations for sales, profit, and cash flow. For the quarter, we had $236 million in revenue, adjusted gross profit margin of 47%, adjusted EBITDA of $51 million, and operating cash flow of $41 million. These excellent results reflect the resilience and dedication of our team as they work to serve our customers, launch innovative new products, and deliver on our financial commitments.”

Second Quarter

During the second quarter of 2024, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $235.9 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 2.8%, versus the second quarter of 2023. The Company’s acquisition activities resulted in an increase in revenue of $20.3 million, or 8.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year adversely impacted our revenue by $1.7 million, or 0.8%, during the second quarter of 2024. Our year-over-year Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was a decrease of 5.3% for the second quarter of 2024 (see “Organic Revenue Growth” in the non-GAAP reconciliations below).

In the second quarter of 2024, GAAP operating income was $25.7 million, compared to $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP net income was $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.38 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.58 in the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.73 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.80 in the second quarter of 2023. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding was 36.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2024 was $41.1 million, compared to $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Financial Guidance

“While industrial capital spending markets, particularly in Europe and China, and life sciences and bioprocessing capital spending markets remain particularly weak, Novanta’s new products continue to accelerate in adoption, our medical device end-markets remain strong, and robotics and automation markets are seeing strength in the second half,” said Matthijs Glastra. “We are positioned well for an improving capital spending market in 2025, and accelerating growth from new product launches, improving our confidence in 2025 and our long-term outlook.”

For the full year 2024, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $975 million, representing reported revenue growth of greater than 10%. The Company expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to be approximately 46.6% to 47.0%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $215 million to $222 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $3.20 to $3.35. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $241 million to $244 million. The Company expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to be approximately 47.0% to 47.5%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $56 million to $58 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.85 to $0.89. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates.

Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; divestitures and related expenses; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Conference Call Information

The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss these results and to provide a business update. To access the call, please dial (888) 346-3959 prior to the scheduled conference call time. Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Events & Presentations page of the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com.

A replay of the audio webcast will be available approximately three hours after the conclusion of the call in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com. The replay will remain available until Monday, September 30, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisitions of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company has also used in the past, and may use in the future, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides additional explanations for non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company, including explanations for certain non-GAAP adjustments that may not be present in the quarterly disclosures included in the current earnings release but have been used by the Company in the two most recent fiscal years. See the tables above for the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release.

Organic Revenue Growth

The Company defines the term “organic revenue” as revenue excluding the impact from business acquisitions, divestitures, product line discontinuations, and the effect of foreign currency translation. The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, and inventory related charges associated with product line closures because: (i) the amounts are non-cash; (ii) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (iii) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excludes inventory related charges associated with product line closures as these costs occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin

The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, and inventory related charges associated with product line closures for the reasons described above for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. The Company also excludes restructuring and acquisition-related costs due to the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes

The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, and restructuring and acquisition-related costs for the reasons described above for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses).

Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate

Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction, the applicable tax rates in effect for the respective jurisdictions and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, tax audits, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate.

Adjusted Net Income

Because Income Before Income Taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described above for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes (i) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate; and (ii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.

Adjusted Diluted EPS

Because Net Income is used in the calculation of Diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets; (ii) amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions; (iii) inventory related charges associated with product line closures; (iv) restructuring, acquisition and related costs; (v) foreign exchange transaction gains (losses); (vi) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate; and (vii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, acquisition fair value adjustments, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income

The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company’s liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth.

Net Debt

The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
