Rhea-AI Summary

Weber reported net sales of $1.6 billion for fiscal year 2022, down 20% from the prior year due to reduced retail traffic and inflation. The company faced a net loss of $330 million, compared to a net income of $6 million in 2021. Gross profit also fell 47% to $434 million. Despite these challenges, Weber enhanced its liquidity with an additional $350 million in borrowing capacity and initiated a cash management plan to yield $110 million in future benefits. A merger agreement with BDT Capital Partners is set to close in the first half of 2023, transitioning Weber to private ownership.

PALATINE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Weber Inc. (“Weber” or “the Company”) (NYSE: WEBR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2022, ending September 30th.

Weber reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

For the year, Weber generated net sales of $1,586 million, gross profit of $434 million, net loss of $330 million, and $1 million of adjusted EBITDA loss.

“Weber is delivering world-class, innovative outdoor cooking products around the world and remains the global category leader. We continue to operate with a consumer-first mindset, build on our brand strength and identify disciplined opportunities across our product categories and channels,” said Alan Matula, interim Chief Executive Officer of Weber. “Our fiscal fourth quarter and full-year performance demonstrates that we have maintained significant growth compared to pre-pandemic levels. We continue our focus on the key initiatives we set forth in the third fiscal quarter. We look forward to executing against our growth strategies in 2023, introducing exciting products and creating additional value for our customers and all stakeholders.”

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

  • Fiscal year 2022 net sales decreased 20%, to $1,586 million, from $1,982 million in the prior year. The decrease was driven by slower retail traffic, both in-store and online in all key markets, due to macroeconomic factors including falling consumer confidence levels and inflation. Foreign exchange accounted for $65 million of the net sales reduction.
  • Net sales decreased 26% in the Americas, to $820 million, from $1,102 million in the prior year; EMEA decreased 16%, to $613 million, from $726 million in the prior year; and APAC sales were $154 million, and essentially flat versus the prior year at $154 million.
    • Foreign currency negatively impacted net sales by $2 million, $56 million, and $7 million in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC respectively.
  • Gross profit decreased 47% to $434 million, or 27.4% of net sales, compared to $825 million, or 41.6% of net sales, in the prior year.
  • Net loss decreased to $330 million, or (20.8)% of net sales, compared to net income of $6 million, or 0.3% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted net loss decreased 222%, to $195 million, or (12.3)% of net sales, compared to the adjusted net income of $161 million, or 8.1% of net sales in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 100%, to a loss of $1 million, compared to $307 million, or 15.5% of net sales, in the prior year, driven by the pressures noted above, and partially offset by the initiated selling, general, and administrative expense reductions.
  • Net cash used in operating activities was $363 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $54 million in the prior year, with the variance driven primarily due to lower operating results. Additionally, there were unfavorable impacts from accounts payable balances driven by lower purchases in the current year period and timing of payments.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

  • Net sales decreased 52%, to $168 million, from $350 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Net sales decreased 60% in the Americas, to $84 million, from $211 million in the prior year quarter; EMEA decreased 54%, to $49 million, from $108 million in the prior year quarter; and APAC increased 10%, to $35 million from $31 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Net loss of $152 million, or (90.5)% of net sales, compared to a net loss of $86 million, or (24.6)% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss was $96 million, or (57.1)% of net sales, compared to adjusted net loss of $35 million, or (10.1)% of net sales in the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $63 million, or (37.4)% of net sales, compared to $14 million loss, or (4.0)% of net sales, in the prior year quarter.

CASH FLOW AND COST MANAGEMENT PLAN

Following a detailed review in August 2022, the Company initiated a plan to manage cash flows, preserve liquidity, expand gross margins, and reduce SG&A expenses. The Company has successfully executed the previously announced actions and expects a future cash benefit of $110 million, net of restructuring costs.

SUBSEQUENT TO QUARTER-END ACTIVITY

On December 12, 2022 Weber announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which investment funds managed by BDT Capital Partners LLC (“BDT”) will purchase all of the outstanding Class A Shares that they do not already own, for $8.05 per share of Class A common stock of Weber, which implies a total enterprise value of $3.7 billion for Weber. A special committee of the board of directors (the “Special Committee”), comprised solely of independent directors, advised by its own independent financial and legal advisors, unanimously recommended that the Weber board approve the transaction. Acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, Weber’s board approved the transaction. Upon completion of the transaction, Weber will become a privately held company majority owned by BDT investment funds. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

Additionally, on December 12, 2022, Weber announced that BDT investment funds have agreed to provide the Company with an additional unsecured loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million. The previous loan agreement, disclosed on November 8, 2022, for $61 million will remain outstanding.
