Vertiv Holdings reported strong demand in Q2 2022 with net sales of $1,399 million, an 11.0% increase YoY, primarily driven by price realization. Orders rose by 17%, while backlog reached a record $4.4 billion. Despite the growth, the company lowered its full-year adjusted operating profit guidance to $475-$500 million due to foreign currency impacts and material inflation. Nevertheless, management anticipates a strong 2023, supported by improved supply chains and continued demand for products across various regions, including a recovery in China.

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 second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Vertiv reported second quarter net sales of $1,399 million, an increase of $139 million, or 11.0%, compared with last year’s second quarter and a 7.9% organic net sales increase excluding the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Foreign currency negatively impacted second quarter sales by approximately $60 million. Americas net sales increased 14.6% and were up 6.6% organically, driven primarily by price realization. APAC net sales increased 2.3% and were up 5.9% organically, primarily driven by price realization and volume increases outside of China. China volume was down slightly in the second quarter due to COVID-19 lockdowns but is anticipated to return to growth in third quarter 2022 and had double-digit growth in the month of June. EMEA net sales increased 16.0% and were up 13.3% organically, driven equally by volume and price realization. Vertiv’s second quarter orders increased 17% compared to the prior year quarter, with 11% from higher volume and 10% from pricing, partially offset by a 4% foreign exchange headwind. Backlog remained strong with another record quarter end of $4.4 billion at the end of June, increasing 39% from the end of 2021.

Second quarter operating profit decreased $76 million to $26 million and adjusted operating profit of $82 million decreased $52 million from the prior year second quarter. Benefits from pricing, the E&I acquisition and volume were more than offset by material and freight inflation, higher fixed costs, foreign exchange and other cost headwinds. Pricing of $80 million was consistent with expectations and doubled sequentially from the first quarter. Our full year $360 million pricing plan remains on track with $120 million recognized in the first half and $240 million expected in the second half with approximately 75% of this second half pricing already in backlog and the remaining 25% based upon pricing actions already implemented on anticipated book and ship business.

“We saw sequential financial improvement in our second quarter results as we anticipated,” said Rob Johnson, Vertiv’s Chief Executive Officer. “Supply chain constraints are being addressed by additional sources of supply coming online while continued strong demand for our products is enabling us to take price and continue to meet our pricing plan. The benefits of the aggressive actions we’ve taken are reflected in the sequential improvement in adjusted operating margins in all regions, demonstrating broad-based strength across our business. We’ve revised down full year adjusted operating profit guidance, primarily due to foreign exchange. Our first half results are consistent with expectations communicated earlier this year, and while third quarter guidance is lower than originally anticipated, it is expected to be a significant increase from second quarter, indicating that our actions are taking hold and will bridge us to a very strong fourth quarter and 2023.”

Dave Cote, Vertiv’s Executive Chairman, added: “Halfway through 2022, we are executing on the plan we laid out in February, delivering sequential margin improvement and achieving pricing increases that should outpace inflation in the second half and addressing the cost issues, primarily in the Americas. We expect our strong competitive position, buoyed by robust market demand and strengthened supply chain sources, and our focus on better execution should drive improved performance, profitability and value-creation in the second half of 2022, and position us well for 2023 and beyond.”

Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash used by operating activities in the second quarter was $206 million, $265 million less cash generated compared to the prior year quarter, and free cash flow was a use of cash of $232 million, a decline of $274 million from the free cash flow generated in the prior year quarter. Our year-to-date free cash flow has been lower than expected, primarily due to increased inventory to support a projected strong second half sales outlook, as well as additional inventory due to challenging supply chain dynamics. We expect free cash flow for the full year to be in the range of a $25 million generation of cash to a $25 million use of cash, which implies strong second half 2022 free cash flow mainly concentrated in the fourth quarter. Sales are projected to be more heavily weighted toward the fourth quarter, which is a normal seasonal pattern, with the cash benefit from those sales primarily realized in 2023. Liquidity at the end of the second quarter was $457 million.

Third Quarter, Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Guidance

End market demand continues to be strong, as evidenced by continued strength in cloud and colocation markets. The change in full year 2022 adjusted operating profit guidance – down $37.5 million at the mid-point of the range – is driven by higher sales volume more than offset by foreign exchange, additional material inflation, lower expected profit from E&I, higher fixed costs due to the timing of the volume ramp-up in the second half and other cost headwinds. Price realization remains on plan and supply chain constraints have started to ease with new suppliers coming online in support of the higher expected volume in the second half. We continue to anticipate a strong second half 2022 with sequential acceleration of financial performance that will position Vertiv well for 2023.

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 the news release, as further described 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 may include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS, and 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 third quarter, fourth quarter and full-year 2022 guidance, including organic net sales growth, 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 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.

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, represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts foreign currency exchange rate, acquisition, and divestiture;
  • 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 2022 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and 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.
