Insights

RBC Bearings' fiscal fourth quarter and full year results for 2024 are noteworthy for several reasons. The company's net sales reached $413.7 million in the fourth quarter, marking a 4.9% increase over the previous year. Importantly, the Aerospace/Defense segment saw a robust growth of 16.8%, which is important given the ongoing global geopolitical uncertainties and increased defense spending.

Gross margins also improved to 43.1% in Q4, up from 42.2% last year, indicating effective cost management and operational efficiencies. This margin expansion is a positive signal for investors, reflecting the company's ability to control costs and generate higher profitability.

On a yearly basis, net sales grew by 6.2% to $1,560.3 million, with the Aerospace/Defense segment leading the charge with a 20.7% increase. This strong performance helped boost the overall gross margin to 43.0% from 41.2% last year.

One critical metric to highlight is the free cash flow conversion, which stood at 113.3% for Q4 and 115.0% for the full year. This indicates the company's excellent cash generation capability, which is essential for ongoing debt reduction and potential shareholder returns.

From a valuation perspective, the company's adjusted EPS of $2.47 for Q4 and $8.62 for the full year demonstrate significant year-over-year growth. The future outlook also appears positive, with expected sales growth in the range of 7.2% to 8.5% for Q1 of fiscal 2025.

Moreover, the scheduled mandatory conversion of Series A preferred stock in October 2024 will reduce dividend payments, adding $23.0 million in annual cash savings. This conversion will also slightly dilute the EPS due to an increase in common shares, but the overall positive impact on net income is notable.

Overall, the financial health of RBC Bearings appears strong with solid revenue growth, margin expansion and robust cash flow generation, positioning the company well for future growth and debt reduction.

The performance of RBC Bearings' Aerospace/Defense segment is particularly impressive, showing a growth of 16.8% in Q4 and 20.7% for the full year. This surge can be attributed to increased global defense budgets and heightened demand for precision-engineered components in aerospace applications. Investors should note that this segment's growth outpaced the broader industrial market, indicating strong competitive positioning and potential for continued expansion.

The slight decline of 0.4% in the Industrial segment sales may raise concerns, but this is relatively minor compared to the overall performance. The Industrial segment showed a marginal increase of 0.2% for the full year, suggesting stability in this sector, albeit with room for improvement.

RBC Bearings' backlog of $726.1 million as of March 30, 2024, up from $652.1 million in December 2023, indicates healthy demand for its products. This backlog will help sustain revenue growth in the upcoming periods, providing a cushion against potential market volatilities.

Additionally, the company's focus on operational efficiencies and synergies from acquisitions, such as the Dodge business, has contributed to improved margins. These synergies, alongside record free cash flow generation, underscore the effectiveness of RBC Bearings' strategic initiatives.

For retail investors, the company's strategic segments, strong backlog and operational efficiency suggest a solid foundation for continued growth and value creation. However, it is important to monitor the Industrial segment's performance and any potential market headwinds that could impact sales.

“Fiscal 2024 marked another record year for RBC and we expect to carry that momentum into fiscal 2025,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Aerospace and Defense segment continued its strong secular growth with revenues expanding 20.7% in the year, and our Industrial segment continued to outpace broader industry trends with notable outgrowth relative to peers. We also delivered healthy margin expansion fueled by operating efficiencies and ongoing Dodge synergies coupled with record levels of free cash flow generation, which was used to further reduce debt to a post-Dodge low. We look to another year of strong free cash flow generation and debt reduction, with the Company poised to finish Fiscal 2025 with net leverage nicely below 2.0x.”

Preferred Stock Conversion in Fiscal 2025

The Company’s Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock is set to automatically convert 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.

If the preferred stock conversion were to have taken place during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, 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 $1.97 rather than the reported $1.91, and adjusted diluted EPS would have been $2.49 rather than the reported $2.47.

Outlook for the First Quarter Fiscal 2025

The Company expects net sales to be approximately $415.0 million to $420.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $387.1 million this year, a growth rate of 7.2% to 8.5%.

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.
