Insights

Financial Analyst

RBC Bearings' Q1 fiscal 2025 results demonstrate solid performance, with several positive indicators:

• Net sales increased 5.0% year-over-year to $406.3 million, driven by strong 23.7% growth in the Aerospace/Defense segment
• Gross margin improved to 45.3% from 43.4% last year
• Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 33.0% from 31.1%
• Free cash flow conversion improved to 144.0% from 110.0%
• Adjusted diluted EPS grew 19.2% to $2.54

The company's focus on high-value aerospace and defense markets is paying off, offsetting a slight decline in industrial sales. Improved profitability metrics suggest effective cost management and operational efficiency. The strong free cash flow conversion is particularly noteworthy, indicating the company's ability to turn profits into cash.

Looking ahead, RBC Bearings expects Q2 fiscal 2025 sales of $395-405 million, representing 2.4-5.0% growth. While this suggests a potential slowdown from Q1's pace, it still indicates continued expansion. The upcoming conversion of preferred stock in October 2024 will eliminate $23 million in annual dividend payments, potentially boosting earnings per share for common stockholders.

Overall, RBC Bearings appears well-positioned in its core markets, with strong execution driving improved profitability. However, investors should monitor the industrial segment for signs of recovery and watch for any potential headwinds in aerospace/defense spending.

Aerospace Industry Analyst

The robust 23.7% growth in RBC Bearings' Aerospace/Defense segment is a standout feature of their Q1 results. This performance aligns with broader trends in the aerospace industry, where we're seeing increased demand for commercial aircraft and ongoing defense spending.

Several factors are likely contributing to this growth:

• Commercial aviation recovery: As air travel continues to rebound post-pandemic, aircraft manufacturers are ramping up production to meet airline demand and address backlogs.
• Defense modernization programs: Ongoing global geopolitical tensions are driving increased defense spending in many countries, benefiting suppliers of critical components.
• Supply chain normalization: Easing of supply chain constraints may be allowing RBC to better meet pent-up demand from aerospace customers.

The company's comment about "robust" customer demand for aerospace and defense capacity suggests this strength could continue. However, it's important to note that aerospace cycles can be long and subject to external factors like economic conditions and geopolitical events.

The 3.5% decline in the Industrial segment is worth monitoring. While the company seems optimistic about potential acceleration in industrial markets, this could be a weak spot if broader economic conditions deteriorate.

RBC Bearings' focus on "highly engineered precision bearings" for aerospace and defense applications positions them well in high-value niches. This specialization likely contributes to their strong margins and ability to capture growth in these demanding markets.

“RBC continued to deliver strong operational performance in the first quarter with 5.0% sales growth, 11.3% adjusted EBITDA growth and 19.2% adjusted diluted earnings per share growth,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Customer demand for our capacity in the Aerospace and Defense end market remains robust, as evidenced by our 23.7% revenue growth, and our Industrial business continued to execute well and remains well poised for any acceleration in industrial end markets as we progress through the remainder of the year. Profit performance in the quarter was notable and continues to be driven by ongoing absorption of our aerospace and defense capacity and continued Dodge synergies, which are tailwinds that we believe will continue to benefit us through the remainder of the fiscal year.”

Preferred Stock Conversion in Fiscal 2025

The Company’s Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock is set to automatically convert to common stock on October 15, 2024, at which point the Company will no longer be required to pay a 5.0% dividend ($5.7 million per quarter), which reduces net income attributable to common stockholders. This will lead to $23.0 million of annual cash savings in future periods. Fiscal 2025 will include the final three quarterly dividend payments, the first of which was made in the first quarter.

If the preferred stock conversion were to have taken place during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, it would have resulted in an additional 2,029,980 shares of outstanding common stock. If these 2,029,980 shares were added to the total diluted shares outstanding in lieu of the preferred stock quarterly dividend of $5.7 million, diluted EPS for this quarter would have been $1.96 rather than the reported $1.90, and adjusted diluted EPS would have been $2.56 rather than the reported $2.54.

Outlook for the Second Quarter Fiscal 2025

The Company expects net sales to be approximately $395.0 million to $405.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $385.6 million last year, a growth rate of 2.4% to 5.0%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results of operations that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain items. These non-GAAP measures adjust for items that management believes are unusual, as well as other non-cash items including but not limited to depreciation, amortization, and equity-based incentive compensation. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures disclosed in this press release with the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial table attached to this press release.

Free Cash Flow Conversion
Free cash flow conversion measures our ability to convert operating profits into free cash flow and is calculated as free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) divided by net income.

Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of restructuring costs associated with the closing of a plant. Adjusted operating income excludes acquisition expenses (including the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase), restructuring and other similar charges, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses. We believe that adjusted operating income is useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude non-cash expenses for amortization related to acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred finance fees, acquisition expenses (including the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase), restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses, net of their income tax impact. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA
We use the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to describe net income adjusted for the items summarized in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. In view of our debt level, Adjusted EBITDA aids our investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA, or “net debt leverage,” as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as “incremental margin” in the case of an increase in net sales or “decremental margin” in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and some investors utilize it when making investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the definition used by others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA adds back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur or vary greatly, are difficult to predict, and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times (i) include estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or (ii) exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.
