First Quarter 2021 Consolidated Results

Sales of $279.3 million were below the first quarter of 2020 due to portfolio reshaping actions last year. We saw positive momentum in the semiconductor, food and pharma, petrochemical, automotive and heavy-duty truck markets, as well as the contribution from Alluxa, partially offset by weakness in oil and gas and aerospace markets. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, acquired and divested businesses, sales for the quarter grew 5.5% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Corporate expenses of $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 increased from $8.5 million a year ago. The increase was driven primarily by higher incentive compensation accruals.

Income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. was $18.0 million, compared to income of $10.1 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income of $28.3 million increased 42.9% compared to the first quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. continuing operations was $0.87, compared to $0.49 in the prior-year period and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.37, compared to $0.96 in the prior-year period, an increase of 42.7%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $52.0 million increased 28.1% compared to the prior-year period driven primarily by organic sales growth, the addition of Alluxa, savings from headcount reductions, lower production and travel-related costs, as well as favorable FX, partially offset by the impact of divestitures made in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.6% increased 420 basis points compared to the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The company generated $20.3 million of cash flow from continuing operations during the quarter and $14.1 million of free cash flow, net of $6.2 million in capital expenditures. This compares to $0.3 million of cash flow from continuing operations, or $(4.9) million of free cash outflow, net of $5.2 million in capital expenditures in the prior-year period. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by higher operating profits and improvements in working capital management.

Enpro ended the first quarter with cash of $232.3 million and full availability of a $400 million revolving credit facility, less $11.4 million in outstanding letters of credit. The company’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.4x on March 31, 2021.

During the first quarter, the company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share or $5.7 million in total.

2021 Guidance

“Given our strong first quarter results and order patterns to date, we now expect 2021 sales to be in the range of $1.05 billion to $1.1 billion, adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $190 million to $200 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $4.74 to $5.08,” said Mr. Riley.

Primary Segment Operating Performance Measure

The primary metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is adjusted segment EBITDA, which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains/losses related to the sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of adjusted segment EBITDA. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the primary metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is required to be disclosed in financial statement footnotes, and accordingly such metric as presented for each segment is not deemed to be a non-GAAP measure under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in conformity with GAAP. They include adjusted income from to continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total adjusted segment EBITDA and free cash flow. Tables showing the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are attached to the release. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for full year 2021 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures in the attached tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of these estimates, it is impractical to present quantitative reconciliations of such measures to comparable GAAP measures, and accordingly no such GAAP measures are being presented.

Management believes these non-GAAP metrics are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and, when read in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate the company’s ongoing operations and performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the factors the company uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its businesses. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements and Guidance

Statements in this press release that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses to limit the further spread of COVID-19, including impacts on the company’s operations, and the operations and businesses of its customers and vendors, including whether the company’s operations and those of its customers and vendors will continue to be treated as “essential” operations under government orders restricting business activities or, even if so treated, whether site-specific health and safety concerns might otherwise require certain operations to be halted for some period of time; uncertainty with respect to the duration and severity of these impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts on the general economy and the markets served by the company’s customers, including international markets that may not recover at the same pace as markets in the United States; the extent to which the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a reduction in demand for the company’s products and services, which could also result in asset impairment charges, including for goodwill; other economic conditions in the markets served by Enpro’s businesses and those of its customers, some of which are cyclical and experience periodic downturns and disruptions, such as the recent disruptions in the pricing of oil and gas; prices and availability of its raw materials; uncertainties with respect to the company’s ability to achieve anticipated growth within the semiconductor, life sciences, and other technology-enabled markets; the impact of fluctuations in relevant foreign currency exchange rates; unanticipated delays or problems in introducing new products; announcements by competitors of new products, services or technological innovations; changes in pricing policies or the pricing policies of competitors; and the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities related to discontinued operations and the discontinued operations of its predecessors, including liabilities for certain products, environmental matters, employee benefit obligations and other matters. Enpro’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form 10-K, describe these and other risks and uncertainties in more detail. Enpro does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect any change in management's expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based.

Full-year guidance excludes changes in the number of shares outstanding, impacts from future acquisitions, dispositions and related transaction costs, restructuring costs, incremental impacts of tariffs and trade tensions on market demand and costs subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes subsequent to the end of the first quarter, impacts from further spread of COVID-19, and environmental and litigation charges.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring and impairment expense, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization.

Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains/losses related to the sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company.

¹Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with a portion of the rollover equity from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa that is subject to reduction for certain types of employment terminations of the LeanTeq and Alluxa sellers and is directly related to the terms of the respective acquisitions. This expense will continue to be recognized as compensation expense over the term of the put and call options associated with the acquisitions unless certain employment terminations have occurred.
