Insights

The reported increase in net sales and organic orders for Vertiv Holdings Co reflects a significant upward trend in revenue and demand for the company's products and services. The reported 13% growth in net sales and 23% increase in organic orders, alongside a record high $5.5 billion backlog, indicates a robust market position and the potential for sustained revenue streams. The expansion of the adjusted operating margin by 500 basis points is particularly notable, as it suggests improved operational efficiency and profitability.

Moreover, the company's strong cash flow performance, with operating cash flow of $356 million and adjusted free cash flow of $305 million, points to a healthy liquidity position. The upgrade in credit ratings by Moody's and S&P, coupled with a repriced term loan, is indicative of improved financial health and may reduce the cost of capital, potentially enhancing shareholder value.

Investors may view the guidance for 2024, which includes a 10% net sales growth and a 23% increase in adjusted operating profit at the mid-point, as a positive signal for the company's future performance. However, it is essential to monitor how the company manages its growth investments, particularly in R&D and capacity, to sustain these profit margins.

The data center market is experiencing strong demand, particularly driven by AI deployment and the need for high-density compute applications. Vertiv's focus on liquid cooling technology through the acquisition of CoolTera and its emphasis on operational excellence positions it well to capitalize on this trend. The company's strategic investments in technology and its service organization are likely to enhance its competitive edge in the market.

The guidance for increased capital expenditures in 2024, ranging from $175 to $200 million, indicates Vertiv's commitment to sustaining its growth trajectory. This investment strategy aligns with the accelerating trends in the data center industry and the company's aim to maintain market leadership. The ability to customize solutions at scale and strong partnerships are critical factors that could further solidify Vertiv's market position.

The financial results from Vertiv Holdings Co demonstrate a strong correlation between market demand for digital infrastructure and the company's financial health. The reported net leverage of 1.9x is within the target range, reflecting a balanced approach to financial management. The company's proactive capital management and liquidity increase to $1.3 billion provide a buffer against potential economic headwinds.

From an economic perspective, Vertiv's performance is indicative of the broader digital transformation trends and the increasing reliance on data centers. The company's strategic focus on AI-driven market demand is timely, considering the exponential growth in data usage and the need for advanced cooling solutions. The anticipated growth in net sales and operating profit for 2024 suggests confidence in the continued demand for Vertiv's offerings despite any macroeconomic fluctuations.

  • Fourth quarter net sales of $1,865 million, 13% higher than the fourth quarter of 2022
  • Fourth quarter organic orders up 23% from fourth quarter 2022. Record high $5.5 billion backlog at the end of fourth quarter 2023
  • Fourth quarter operating profit of $285 million and adjusted operating profit(1) of $330 million, up 57% from fourth quarter 2022
  • Operating cash flow of $356 million and adjusted free cash flow(1) of $305 million, an increase of $162 million over the fourth quarter 2022. Net leverage of 1.9x at end of fourth quarter 2023
  • Full year 2023 operating cash flow of $901 million and adjusted free cash flow of $778 million, an increase of $1,038 million compared to full year 2022 and expect full year 2024 adjusted free cash flow(2) of $800 to $850 million
  • Expect full year 2024 net sales growth of 10%, operating profit of $1,095 to $1,145 million and adjusted operating profit of $1,275 to $1,325 million, a 23% increase at the mid-point compared to full year 2023

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023. Vertiv reported fourth quarter 2023 net sales of $1,865 million, an increase of $211 million, or 13%, compared to fourth quarter 2022 and a 12% organic net sales(1) increase, which excludes the impact of foreign currency. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.3x in the fourth quarter and organic orders increased 23% from last year’s fourth quarter, as underlying market demand remained strong.

Fourth quarter 2023 operating profit of $285 million increased $123 million and adjusted operating profit of $330 million increased $120 million, or 57%, from fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted operating margin expanded 500 basis points to 17.7% compared to fourth quarter 2022 driven by benefits from commercial execution and increased volume and productivity partially offset by growth investments in R&D and capacity.

“Vertiv delivered a strong fourth quarter, capping off a year of significant progress built on our unrelenting focus on operational execution, driving a high-performance culture and demonstrating financial strength underpinned by continued robust market demand for Vertiv’s innovative products and services,” said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv’s Chief Executive Officer. “This strong performance positions us well for continued momentum in 2024 as we continue to grow, further enhance our operational excellence and build a cultural DNA across the organization to ensure our continued market leadership in a dynamic industry.”

“We see tremendous opportunity ahead as the data center needs of AI drive additional market demand. Our fourth quarter acquisition of CoolTera and our continued commitment to supporting our customers reinforce our strong position in liquid cooling for high density compute applications driven by AI demand. With our ability to develop and deliver solutions across the entire thermal and power technology spectrum and customize at scale, our unparalleled service organization, our strong partnerships with leading industry players and our deep customer relationships, Vertiv is uniquely positioned for leadership in a strong and accelerating market.”

Dave Cote, Vertiv’s Executive Chairman, added: “In his first year as CEO, Gio and his team have put Vertiv on a firm footing, achieving improved performance across all financial metrics, including profitability and strong adjusted free cash flow which support acceleration of our long-term capital deployment framework. Vertiv is laying the foundation and building a resilient organization for sustained growth and long-term-value creation.”

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash generated by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $356 million, an increase of $176 million from fourth quarter 2022 and adjusted free cash flow was $305 million, an increase of $162 million from fourth quarter 2022. Fourth quarter adjusted free cash flow performance was driven by higher adjusted operating profit and continued improvement in working capital management which were partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures to support growth.

In December 2023, Vertiv’s credit rating was upgraded to Ba3 by Moody’s Investors Service and upgraded to BB by S&P Global Ratings reflecting a strengthened balance sheet from improved operational performance, including strong cash flow generation and margin expansion. Liquidity increased to $1.3 billion at the end of fourth quarter 2023 and borrowings under our ABL credit facility remained at zero at year-end. Vertiv’s $2.1 billion term loan was repriced in December 2023, lowering our interest rate by 25 basis points and annual interest expense by approximately $5.3 million. Net leverage at the end of fourth quarter 2023 was 1.9x, within the target net leverage range of 1.0x to 2.0x we announced at our November investor conference. As previously announced, we plan to accelerate capital deployment activity in 2024 within the framework described at the investor conference.

Full Year and First Quarter 2024 Guidance

We continue to see strong and accelerating trends in the data center market, including increasing demand for critical digital infrastructure to support AI deployment at scale. We are accelerating growth opportunities with our decades of experience and market leadership, technology, extensive portfolio and scale. Additionally, we are increasing our capital expenditures plan for 2024 to $175 to $200 million to support the growth trajectory.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to first quarter and full-year 2024 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

See “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for Vertiv’s reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Vertiv’s non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles;
  • Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
  • Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate;
  • Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures, investments in capitalized software and include proceeds from disposition of PP&E; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and change in warranty liability.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2024 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
