MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tennant Company (“Tennant” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer and healthier world, today reported its fourth quarter and full year results for 2021.

“Reflecting on 2021, I am proud of our record net income and how our team has responded to inflationary pressures and an extremely challenging global supply chain environment,” said Dave Huml, Tennant Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team has remained focused on meeting customer demands and driving shareholder value by executing our long-term strategy: win where we have competitive advantage, reduce complexity and build scalable processes, and innovate for profitable growth. While we expect macroeconomic headwinds to persist throughout the year, the demand for our products has risen to pre-pandemic levels and our strong performance in 2021 demonstrates our ability to execute in this environment, positioning us to deliver on our 2022 expectations.”

2021 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Results

(In millions)	Twelve Months Ended											Three Months Ended
	December 31,											December 31,
	2021				2020				Change			2021				2020				Change
Net sales	$	1,090.8			$	1,001.0			9.0	%		$	276.4			$	273.0			1.2	%
Net income	$	64.9			$	33.7			92.6	%		$	7.9			$	2.5			216.0	%
Adjusted gross margin		40.2	%			41.1	%		-90 bps				36.7	%			41.3	%		-460 bps
Adjusted EBITDA	$	140.2			$	119.4			17.4	%		$	28.4			$	25.4			11.8	%

Full year 2021 consolidated net sales of $1.09 billion increased 9.0 percent over the prior year period, or 9.1 percent on an organic basis, including a favorable foreign exchange effect of 2.0 percent and a negative divestiture impact of 2.1 percent related to the sale of the Company’s coatings business in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross margin declined to 40.2 percent in 2021 from 41.1 percent in the prior year reflecting raw material inflation, higher freight costs, and labor constraints partly offset by price increases. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) grew by 17.4 percent to $140.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100 basis points to 12.9 percent as reductions in sales and administrative expenses (S&A) more than offset the gross margin decline. Net income attributable to Tennant Company increased $31.2 million to $64.9 million, driven by higher operating results discussed above as well as lower interest expense as a result of the debt refinancing completed in the second quarter of 2021. These improvements in net income attributable to Tennant Company were partly offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in connection with the 2021 debt refinancing.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, consolidated net sales of $276.4 million were up 1.2 percent over the prior year period, or 4.5 percent on an organic basis, including an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of 1.0 percent and a negative divestiture impact of 2.3 percent. Parts availability and inflationary pressures were particularly acute in the quarter as adjusted gross margin declined by 460 basis points from the prior year period to 36.7 percent. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 11.8 percent to $28.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100 basis points to 10.3 percent. The year-over-year improvement was due in part to strategic investments made in the year-ago period. Net income of $7.9 million increased $5.4 million over the prior year period, reflecting lower S&A and interest costs.

Organic Sales Results

	Twelve Months Ended												Three Months Ended
	December 31, 2021												December 31, 2021
	Americas			EMEA			APAC			Total			Americas			EMEA			APAC			Total
Organic net sales growth	7.4	%		14.2	%		5.6	%		9.1	%		4.9	%		7.4	%		-7.2	%		4.5	%

Organic net sales increased by 9.1 percent for the full year 2021 and 4.5 percent for the fourth quarter reflecting recovery from pandemic-related demand impacts in 2020. Regional results were as follows:

• Net sales in the Americas grew 7.4 percent organically for the full year and 4.9 percent in the fourth quarter, despite widespread supply chain challenges and labor constraints. Growth drivers included parts and consumables, service, and strong industrial sales in North America. Strong organic growth in Latin America was driven by industrial sales in Brazil and sales of IPC-branded products in Mexico.
• Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) net sales grew 14.2 percent organically for the full year and 7.4 percent in the fourth quarter, with demand and order backlog strengthening during the quarter. For the full year, the Company achieved growth across all product categories and markets.
• Net sales in Asia-Pacific (APAC) increased 5.6 percent organically for the full year but declined 7.2 percent in the fourth quarter. The quarter decline was attributed in part to supply-chain disruptions and labor constraints in China, with new pandemic-related shutdowns in the region, the impact of which was partially offset by strong demand in Korea and Australia.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation and Liquidity
For the full year 2021, cash flow from operations was $69.4 million compared to $133.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating cash flow year over year was primarily driven by a significant change in working capital. The Company’s strong 2021 net sales and volumes resulted in an increase in accounts receivables, coupled with an increase in inventory as a result of rising costs along with an increase in stock in anticipation of continuing pressure on the Company’s global supply chain.

The Company strategically deployed cash flow toward operational capital needs, deleveraging and returning capital to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases. During the year, the Company reduced debt by $44.0 million, paid dividends of $17.5 million, and purchased $15.0 million of Tennant common stock. Liquidity remained strong with a balance of $123.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2021.

2022 Business Outlook
“Our return to pre-pandemic levels of order demand fuels Tennant’s momentum as we enter 2022,” said Huml. “While our full year guidance reflects what continues to be an uncertain and inflationary operating environment, given the strong demand for our products and the continued execution of our enterprise strategy, we are positioned to capitalize on long-term opportunities in the global mechanized cleaning market.”

For 2022, Tennant provides the following guidance:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or non-operational nature (hereinafter referred to as “special items”). Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the current, past or future periods. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company.

We believe that disclosing gross profit – as adjusted, gross margin – as adjusted, selling and administrative (“S&A”) expense – as adjusted, S&A expense as a percent of net sales – as adjusted, operating income – as adjusted, operating margin – as adjusted, income before income taxes – as adjusted, income tax expense – as adjusted, net income attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted, net income attributable to Tennant Company per share – as adjusted, EBITDA – as adjusted, and EBITDA margin – as adjusted (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), excluding the impacts from special items, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use these as one measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We calculate gross profit – as adjusted and gross margin – as adjusted by adjusting for the discontinuation of product lines and restructuring charges. We calculate S&A expense – as adjusted, and S&A expense as a percent of net sales – as adjusted by adjusting for professional services, restructuring charges, acquisition-contingent consideration and acquisition-related liability adjustment.

We calculate income before income taxes – as adjusted by adjusting for the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, restructuring charges, professional services, acquisition-contingent consideration, amortization expense, gain on sale of business, acquisition-related liability adjustment and loss on extinguishment of debt. We calculate income tax expense – as adjusted by adjusting for the tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, restructuring charges, professional services, acquisition-contingent consideration, amortization expense, gain on sale of business, acquisition-related liability adjustment and loss on extinguishment of debt. We calculate net income attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted by adjusting for the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, restructuring charges, professional services, acquisition-contingent consideration, amortization expense, gain on sale of business, acquisition-related liability adjustment and loss on extinguishment of debt. We calculate net income attributable to Tennant Company per share – as adjusted by adjusting for the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, restructuring charges, professional services, acquisition-contingent consideration, amortization expense, gain on sale of business, acquisition-related liability adjustment and loss on extinguishment of debt, and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We calculate EBITDA – as adjusted by adjusting for the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, restructuring charges, professional services, acquisition-contingent consideration, amortization expense, gain on sale of business, acquisition-related liability adjustment, loss on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense to net income including noncontrolling interest – as reported. We calculate EBITDA margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by net sales.

Investors should consider these Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or better than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
