Insights

Standex International's Q4 FY24 results present a mixed picture with some positive developments amid challenging market conditions. The 4.3% year-over-year sales decline was partially offset by contributions from acquisitions and growth in fast-growth markets. Notably, the company achieved an adjusted operating margin of 16.0%, up 60 basis points both sequentially and year-over-year, demonstrating effective cost management and operational efficiency.

The company's focus on fast-growth markets is paying off, with sales in these areas increasing by 13% year-over-year to $27 million. This strategic emphasis on high-potential sectors like electric vehicles, renewable energy and smart grid technologies positions Standex well for future growth.

Financially, Standex remains robust with a strong balance sheet and impressive cash generation. The free cash flow of $22.2 million in Q4, representing 112% of GAAP net income, provides ample flexibility for future investments and shareholder returns.

Looking ahead, Standex's outlook for FY25 is cautiously optimistic. The planned release of over a dozen new products across all business segments is expected to contribute over 100 basis points of growth. Moreover, the projected 20%+ growth in fast-growth market sales to exceed $110 million underscores the company's commitment to high-potential areas.

However, investors should note the segment-specific challenges, particularly in the Engraving segment, which saw a significant 22.8% revenue decline due to delays in new platform rollouts in North America. This highlights the potential volatility in certain business areas and the need for continued diversification.

Standex's Q4 results reflect broader market trends and offer insights into several key industries. The company's performance in fast-growth markets, particularly the 13% year-over-year increase in sales related to electric vehicles, renewable energy and smart grid technologies, aligns with the global shift towards sustainable and advanced technologies. This growth trajectory is expected to continue, with Standex projecting over 20% growth in these markets for FY25.

The softness in appliances and general industrial end markets in China and Europe indicates ongoing challenges in these regions, possibly due to economic uncertainties and shifting consumer behaviors. This trend may persist in the short term, affecting companies with significant exposure to these markets.

The normalization in the Display Merchandising business within the Specialty Solutions segment suggests a potential cooling in retail-related investments, which could be a broader indicator for the retail sector. Conversely, the growth in the Hydraulics business points to strength in industries relying on this technology, such as construction and material handling.

Standex's emphasis on new product development, with plans to release over a dozen new products in FY25, reflects a broader industry trend of innovation-driven growth. This strategy is particularly important in a competitive landscape where product differentiation can be a key driver of market share.

The company's expectation of stabilizing general market conditions in the first half of FY25 and strengthening in the second half aligns with broader economic forecasts. This outlook suggests a cautious optimism for industrial and manufacturing sectors in the coming year, which could be valuable for investors considering exposure to these areas.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Commenting on the quarter's results, President and Chief Executive Officer David Dunbar said, "We concluded our fiscal year with yet another solid operational performance in the fourth quarter, which demonstrates the resilient character of our employees to adapt and execute on initiatives under our control, despite continued softness in general market conditions. Sales from fast growth markets such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, smart grid, and the commercialization of space increased 13% year-on-year to $27 million in fiscal fourth quarter 2024. We achieved adjusted gross margin of 38.7% and adjusted operating margin of 16.0%, up 60 bps sequentially and year-on-year. Four of our business segments finished the quarter with operating margin above 20%. From a cash perspective, we generated free operating cash flow of $22.2 million in the fourth quarter, which represented 112% of GAAP net income."

"Following record profitability in fiscal year 2023, we delivered new records in fiscal year 2024 in adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow. We remain optimistic about our long-term operating margin potential as we leverage better general market conditions and a higher sales contribution from new products and new applications."

"We remain confident about the secular trends in our fast growth end markets. In fiscal year 2024, our fast growth market sales grew 13% year-on-year to $94 million. We anticipate sales into fast growth end markets to accelerate over our long-term target time horizon and beyond, as secular trends develop."

"We are beginning fiscal year 2025 in a strong position for continued improvements in financial performance. Our balance sheet remains in a strong position to consider an active funnel of organic and inorganic opportunities."

Outlook

In the fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects similar to slightly higher revenue, as higher sales into fast growth markets are mostly offset by less favorable project timing in the Engineering Technologies segment. The Company expects sequentially similar to slightly higher gross margin and slightly lower to similar adjusted operating margin due to higher investments in selling, marketing, and R&D.

In fiscal year 2025, the Company expects general market conditions to stabilize in the first half and strengthen in the second half. The Company plans to release over a dozen new products, at least one in every business, which it expects will contribute over 100 bps of incremental growth. Sales from fast growth markets are expected to grow above 20% year-on-year and exceed $110 million.

Fourth Quarter Segment Operating Performance

	4Q24	4Q23	% Change
Electronics ($M)
Revenue	80.4	79.9	0.6 %

GAAP Operating Margin %	20.1	21.0
Adjusted Operating Income*	16.5	16.8	-2.2 %
Adjusted Operating Margin %*	20.5	21.0

* Excludes purchase accounting expenses of $0.3M associated with Minntronix in Q4 FY24

Revenue increased approximately $0.5 million or 0.6% year-on-year reflecting a 14.6% benefit from recent acquisitions, mostly offset by a foreign currency impact of 1.6% and an organic decline of 12.3%. The organic decline was due to continued softness in the appliances and general industrial end markets in China and Europe and prior overstocking in certain large customer accounts. Adjusted operating income decreased approximately $0.4 million or 2.2% year-on-year due to lower volume, mostly offset by contribution from recent acquisitions and realization of pricing and productivity initiatives.

Electronics segment backlog realizable in under one year of approximately $95 million decreased 27% year-on-year. The segment had a book to bill ratio of 0.76 in the fiscal fourth quarter.

In fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects similar to slightly higher revenue, driven by higher sales into fast growth end markets, and similar adjusted operating margin, as higher investments in selling, marketing, and R&D offset pricing and productivity initiatives.

Engraving (18% of sales; 11% of segment operating income)

	4Q24	4Q23	% Change
Engraving ($M)
Revenue	32.7	42.4	-22.8 %
Operating Income	3.9	7.9	-50.0 %
Operating Margin %	12.0	18.6

Revenue decreased approximately $9.7 million or 22.8% year-on-year reflecting a 21.0% organic decline, primarily due to delays in new platform rollouts in North America, and a foreign currency impact of 1.9%. Operating income decreased approximately $3.9 million or 50.0% year-on-year due to the slower demand in North America.

In fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects moderately higher revenue and operating margin due to more favorable project timing in Europe and Asia.

Scientific (10% of sales; 14% of segment operating income)

	4Q24	4Q23	% Change
Scientific ($M)
Revenue	17.5	18.3	-4.1 %
Operating Income	4.9	4.7	5.7 %
Operating Margin %	28.1	25.5

Revenue decreased approximately $0.8 million or 4.1% year-on-year reflecting lower demand from retail pharmacies. Operating income increased approximately $0.2 million or 5.7% year-on-year as productivity actions and lower freight costs were partially offset by the impact of lower volume.

In fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects similar revenue and slightly lower operating margin due to R&D investments and higher freight cost.

Engineering Technologies (14% of sales; 15% of segment operating income)

	4Q24	4Q23	% Change
Engineering Technologies ($M)
Revenue	25.3	21.8	15.7 %
Operating Income	5.3	3.1	70.4 %
Operating Margin %	20.9	14.2

Revenue increased approximately $3.4 million or 15.7% year-on-year primarily driven by improvement in the aviation end markets, more favorable project timing, and growth in new applications. Operating income increased approximately $2.2 million or 70.4% year-on-year reflecting leverage on higher sales and pricing and productivity initiatives, partially offset by investments in research and development.

In fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects moderately to significantly lower revenue and slightly lower operating margin due to unfavorable project timing.

Specialty Solutions (13% of sales; 15% of segment operating income)

	4Q24	4Q23	% Change
Specialty Solutions ($M)
Revenue	24.2	25.9	-6.3 %
Operating Income	5.4	6.4	-16.2 %
Operating Margin %	22.2	24.8

Specialty Solutions revenue decreased approximately $1.6 million or 6.3% year-on-year, reflecting normalization in the Display Merchandising business, partially offset by organic growth in the Hydraulics business. Operating income decreased approximately $1.1 million or 16.2% year-on-year due to lower volume in the Display Merchandising business, partially offset by higher volume in the Hydraulics business.

In fiscal first quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects similar revenue and operating margin.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations, free operating cash flow, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA to net debt, and adjusted earnings per share. The attached financial tables reconcile non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP measures which include the impact of restructuring charges, purchase accounting, insurance recoveries, discrete tax events, gain or loss on sale of a business unit, acquisition costs, and litigation costs help investors to obtain a better understanding of our operating results and prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods. An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, or other gains and losses, on net income (absolute as well as on a per-share basis), operating income or EBITDA can give management and investors additional insight into core financial performance, especially when compared to quarters in which such items had a greater or lesser effect, or no effect. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the corresponding GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
