Summarizing the Company's third quarter performance, Bill Johnson, Welbilt's President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased with our third quarter operating results as our sales, margins and cash flow all improved sequentially from the second quarter as the commercial foodservice industry continued to gradually recover. Industry conditions and our results remain depressed relative to last year's third quarter due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and we continue to closely monitor the global recovery and adjust our costs and investments accordingly. We remained very focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees while implementing additional cost reduction actions during the quarter. These actions helped us improve our liquidity by
Net sales declined 27.3 percent in the third quarter compared to last year's third quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, Organic Net Sales decreased 28.0 percent, which was primarily driven by decreased volumes due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on foodservice providers globally and the resulting decrease in demand for commercial foodservice equipment. The year-over-year monthly net sales comparisons improved through the quarter with September's decrease being the smallest since the pandemic started.
Adjusted Operating EBITDA margin decreased year-over-year in the third quarter primarily due to lower volume related to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, which was partially offset by positive net pricing. The lower volume also affected both material and manufacturing costs unfavorably. Selling, general and administrative expenses (net of adjustments for Business Transformation Program ("Transformation Program") expenses and other adjustments to SG&A that are included in our Adjusted Operating EBITDA reconciliation ("Net SG&A")) were lower primarily due to cost reductions initiatives including reductions in force and temporary furloughs, and a significant curtailment of travel, marketing and other discretionary spending. These actions enabled us to reduce Net SG&A expenses by
We continued to make progress on the Transformation Program during the third quarter. Our planned procurement activities related to materials spend remains on-track as we continue to implement new agreements with both current and new suppliers. We identified additional internal materials cost savings opportunities through the implementation of Value Analysis Value Engineering ("VAVE") initiatives. We also continued to implement changes in our manufacturing plants to drive incremental efficiency improvement with certain projects progressing at a slightly slower pace due to some additional temporary plant closures and reduced staffing during the quarter related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain encouraged by our progress to date and remain committed to completing the activities included within the scope of our Transformation Program by the end of 2021 as originally anticipated and remain confident in our ability to achieve the
Liquidity and Debt
Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was
During the quarter, total debt and finance leases (including the current portion) decreased by
Restructuring and Other Charges
During the first quarter of 2020, we executed a workforce reduction in the Americas region and Corporate as well as a limited management restructuring to reduce operating expenses as an element of our Transformation Program and in response to the negative impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. We also recognized severance and related costs in connection with restructuring actions initiated during the fourth quarter of 2019 in the EMEA and APAC regions. We recognized
2020 Guidance
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting impact on the commercial foodservice industry and uncertainty of demand for our products, we previously withdrew our 2020 guidance on March 20, 2020. We do not plan to reinstate guidance until macroeconomic and commercial foodservice industry conditions have sufficiently stabilized.
Additional Management Commentary
"We are pleased with our third quarter results in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic," said Bill Johnson, Welbilt’s President and CEO. "Year-over-year net sales decreases improved each month and the quarter's decline was almost half that of the second quarter. In the Americas, same-store sales improved for both QSRs and casual dining operators, supporting their increased demand for replacement equipment. Demand for Manitowoc® Ice machines improved and sales of Merrychef® high-speed ovens increased as we began shipping to a new global customer. EMEA also saw sequential improvement, led by Crem whose sales increased year-over-year as they benefited from a small rollout with an international governmental entity. In addition, Merrychef had a small rollout of high-speed ovens with a UK grocery store chain. APAC net sales improved sequentially in the third quarter, with sales in China and Australia delivering year-over-year sales increases during the quarter aided by a large project in China, but saw other countries remaining significantly down during the quarter. We believe overall demand will continue to gradually improve over the next several quarters assuming widespread stay-at-home orders are not reimposed."
"While some of the compensation-related cost containment actions we implemented at the end of the first quarter expired during the third quarter, we continued to aggressively manage our discretionary costs which combined with improved absorption of fixed costs due to higher net sales and benefits from our Business Transformation Program, allowed us to deliver an Adjusted Operating EBITDA margin of 15.3 percent in the third quarter. We remain very focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees and have been fortunate to have experienced very few COVID-19 cases worldwide. With the tools we've developed as part of our Business Transformation Program, we were able to improve productivity in our plants above prior year levels. We did have a few plants that were closed sporadically throughout the quarter to balance demand with production. During the third quarter, we implemented an additional reduction in force impacting production employees in the Americas - these were driven by productivity gains and process improvements made through our Business Transformation Program. We also continued to reduce material costs - both through negotiating price reductions with new and existing suppliers and by executing VAVE initiatives. We remain committed to delivering the savings identified in our Business Transformation Program through continued productivity improvements and further reductions of material costs."
"We made progress on a number of strategic initiatives in the third quarter. We began to build inventory of our new common controllers at some of our brands and will start incorporating those into new units this quarter. We will continue to adopt these new controllers across all of our brands over the next several quarters. We recently released our newest version of KitchenConnect®, our open cloud solution for the foodservice industry that improves efficiency, reduces costs and enhances food quality, and we are actively migrating users to this version. Last week, we launched our new mid-tier Convotherm® maxx™ line of combi ovens in the EMEA and APAC markets to complement our line of premium C4 combi ovens while having more features and performance than our mini combis. We are continuing to focus resources on innovations that are likely to become more prominent due to social distancing, such as ghost kitchens and enhanced sanitation features within our equipment."
"Our third quarter results demonstrate the momentum we are gaining as a company in the execution of our strategy. I am very proud of this team and remain confident that we will emerge as a stronger company when business conditions return to pre-COVID levels," concluded Johnson.

Business Segments
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company revised the allocation of certain of its functional expenses between the corporate-level and the geographic business segments. Management believes the revised allocation methodology better aligns the operating results of the geographic business segments with how management assesses performance and makes operating decisions. The prior period segment results and related disclosures have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. These changes did not impact the Company's previously reported consolidated financial results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this release, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures discussed below to evaluate our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed as a supplement to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing performance of our operating businesses, provides greater transparency into our results of operations and is consistent with how management evaluates operating performance and liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP measures address questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that all investors have access to similar data we make this data available to all investors. None of the non-GAAP measures presented should be considered as an alternative to net earnings, earnings from operations, net cash used in operating activities, net sales or any other measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures may change from time to time, including as a result of changed business conditions, new accounting rules or otherwise. Further, our use of these terms may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. We do not provide reconciliations of our forward-looking Adjusted Operating EBITDA margin and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share guidance, which are presented on a non-GAAP basis, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because the combined impact and timing of certain potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain, outside of our control and difficult to predict. Accordingly, we cannot provide reconciliations without unreasonable effort and are unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.
Free Cash Flow
In this release, we refer to Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, as our net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures plus cash receipts on our beneficial interest in sold receivables and the related impact of terminating our accounts receivable securitization program during the first quarter of 2019. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in measuring our ability to generate cash internally to fund our debt repayments, acquisitions, dividends and share repurchases, if any. Free Cash Flow reconciles to net cash used in operating activities presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP as follows:

(2) Represents the increase in accounts receivable resulting from the termination of the accounts receivable securitization program during the first quarter of 2019, which is reflected in "Cash flows from operating activities" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
Adjusted Operating EBITDA
In addition to analyzing our operating results on a U.S. GAAP basis, management also reviews our results on an "Adjusted Operating EBITDA" basis. Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization expense plus certain other items such as loss from impairment of assets, gain or loss from disposal of assets, restructuring activities, loss on modification or extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, Transformation Program expense and certain other items. Management uses Adjusted Operating EBITDA as the basis on which we evaluate our financial performance and make resource allocations and other operating decisions. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information used by management.
The Company's Adjusted Operating EBITDA reconciles to net earnings as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP as follows:

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share
We define Adjusted Net Earnings as net earnings before the impact of certain items, such as loss on modification or extinguishment of debt, gain or loss from impairment and disposal of assets, restructuring activities, separation expense, Transformation Program expense, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, certain other items, expenses associated with pension settlements, foreign currency transaction gain or loss and the tax effect of the aforementioned adjustments, as applicable. Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share for each period represents Adjusted Net Earnings while giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. We believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing the ongoing performance of our underlying businesses before the impact of certain items.
The following tables present Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share reconciled to net earnings and diluted net earnings per share, respectively, presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
