Insights

Financial Analyst

Vontier's first quarter results reflect a mixed financial landscape, with a 3% year-over-year decline in reported sales, which totaled $755.8 million. This decrease is attributed to the divestiture of certain businesses. Nevertheless, a 4% increase in core sales indicates underlying growth in key product lines, such as retail fueling and alternative energy solutions.

Their operating profit of $142.1 million represents a 6% increase from the prior year, with an operating profit margin improvement of 160 basis points to 18.8%. This margin expansion is noteworthy, as it suggests improved efficiency and cost management. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.88 exceeded expectations, which signals strong operational performance.

Investors should note the company's emphasis on the Connected Mobility strategy, which seems to be a key driver for their current and future growth. R&D investments, although increasing operating costs, could enhance Vontier's competitive advantage in the longer term. Investors should also consider the company's share repurchase activity and debt repayment, which often signal a management's confidence in the business's cash flow stability and prospects.

The company's full-year outlook is maintained, predicting core sales growth of 4 to 6% which may be seen as a positive indicator of the company's stability and potential for growth. However, retail investors should remain vigilant of market conditions that could affect demand for Vontier's products, especially in segments where growth is more volatile, such as the Mobility Technologies and Repair Solutions segments.

Market Research Analyst

A key takeaway from Vontier's financial results is the significant expansion in segment operating profit margins, particularly in the Environmental & Fueling Solutions segment, where it expanded by 370 basis points year-over-year. This suggests not only a favorable product and geographic mix but also the fruition of ongoing cost savings initiatives and beneficial price/cost dynamics.

The reported core sales growth across their main segments showcases Vontier's ability to increase sales irrespective of the divestitures. The growth in North America dispenser equipment, aftermarket parts and environmental solutions is indicative of strong market demand and the effectiveness of the company's innovation strategies. This bodes well for future revenue streams and could provide a cushion against potential market downturns.

While the Adjusted free cash flow conversion of 68% is slightly lower than the full-year outlook of 90 to 100%, it still represents a healthy conversion rate. Retail investors should appreciate this measure as it reflects the company's capability to turn earnings into cash flows, which is important for funding operations, paying debts and returning value to shareholders.

Resilient end markets and our Connected Mobility strategy, coupled with a comprehensive suite of industry-leading solutions and a commitment to innovation continue to drive growth and unlock value.

Segment operating profit margin expanded 370 basis points resulting from favorable product and geographic mix, ongoing cost savings and positive price/cost.

Segment operating profit was down slightly versus the prior year. Segment operating profit margin increased 10 basis points year-over-year despite higher R&D and other growth investments.

Repair Solutions reported sales grew 1% over the prior year. Core sales growth of approximately 1% was driven by continued demand within the tool storage and diagnostic tools categories, partially offset by moderation in hardline products. Segment operating profit declined 5% (or just over $2 million) versus the prior year. Segment operating profit margin declined 160 basis points, the result of higher operating costs.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
AND OTHER INFORMATION

Core Sales Growth

We define core sales growth as the change in total sales calculated according to GAAP but excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

• References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations.

• The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.

• The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to core sales which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period.

Core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales growth provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales growth. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales growth may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance.

Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin

Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, costs associated with restructurings including one-time termination benefits and related charges and impairment and other charges associated with facility closure, contract termination and other related activities, and the related impact of certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations ("Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments"), transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, and other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results (“Other charges”). Adjusted operating profit margin refers to adjusted operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin

Segment operating profit is used by Vontier’s management in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of management’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other costs shown in the reconciliation to GAAP operating profit below. As part of management’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge based on the segment’s financing receivables portfolio is assessed by Corporate. Segment operating profit margin refers to segment operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments, including the tax effect of these adjustments and other tax adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our estimated adjusted effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share refers to adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations calculated according to GAAP but excluding capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow refers to free cash flow adjusted for cash received from the sale of property and cash paid for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs and Other charges. Adjusted free cash flow conversion refers to adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Net Leverage Ratio, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA adjusted for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments. Net leverage ratio refers to net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of the projected Core Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.
