Insights

Zurn Elkay's Q4 2024 results showcase impressive operational execution and financial discipline. The 4% core sales growth, achieved despite challenging end markets, demonstrates strong market positioning and effective pricing strategies. The expansion of adjusted EBITDA margins by 100 basis points to 24.6% reflects successful integration synergies from the Elkay merger and operational efficiency improvements.

The company's cash generation capabilities are particularly noteworthy. The record $272 million free cash flow achievement, combined with a conservative 0.8x leverage ratio, provides significant financial flexibility. Management's balanced capital allocation approach is evident in the $150 million share repurchases and 12.5% dividend increase, signaling confidence in sustainable growth.

Looking ahead, the 2025 guidance suggesting similar core sales growth and adjusted EBITDA of $405-420 million appears conservative but achievable. The projected $290 million free cash flow target indicates continued operational efficiency and strong working capital management. The company's focus on sustainability initiatives and water management solutions positions it well for long-term growth in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.

The water management solutions market continues to demonstrate robust fundamentals, with Zurn Elkay effectively capitalizing on key growth drivers. The company's strategic focus on sustainability and water conservation aligns perfectly with increasing regulatory requirements and growing corporate environmental commitments.

The planned release of their 2024 sustainability report signals a deepening commitment to ESG initiatives, which should resonate well with institutional investors and customers prioritizing environmental stewardship. The company's ability to grow core sales despite selective product exits shows strong underlying demand and effective portfolio management.

Market dynamics favor companies with comprehensive water management solutions and Zurn Elkay's integrated offering positions it advantageously. The emphasis on the Zurn Elkay Business System for operational excellence provides a scalable platform for sustained growth and margin expansion. The company's focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions should continue driving market share gains in both commercial and institutional segments.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Overview

Net sales were $370.7 million and $356.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, an increase of 4% year over year. The increase in net sales was the result of core sales(1) growth of 4%, including growth in nearly all product categories.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, income from operations was $49.3 million compared to $32.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased by 410 basis points year over year due to the benefits resulting from productivity synergies and restructuring actions related to the Elkay Merger. The prior year also included a loss of $11.4 million on divestiture of asbestos liabilities and certain assets.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $91.1 million, or 24.6% of net sales, during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $84.1 million, or 23.6% of net sales, during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of this non-GAAP metric, as well as the accompanying reconciliations to GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Core Sales

Core sales excludes the impact of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control. Further, management uses "pro forma core sales", defined as reported sales less the impact of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, foreign currency translation, and product line exits, as a measure of our financial performance that is more relevant when evaluating us against peers.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, the adjustment to state inventories at last-in first-out costs, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring gains and losses, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are based on a transaction specific basis. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring gains or losses. It is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is the term we use to describe Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA (which includes a full pro forma last-twelve-month impact of acquisitions), or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as “incremental margin” in the case of an increase in net sales or “decremental margin” in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, and we use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. We define Free Cash Flow Conversion as Free Cash Flow divided by net income.

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”)

ROIC is used because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of financial performance and it is also currently a performance measure under our long-term incentive plan. ROIC is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. ROIC is also used by investors and analysts to evaluate management’s deployment of capital to create shareholder value. We define ROIC as tax-effected net operating income for the last 12 months divided by average total invested capital over a rolling four-quarter period. Total invested capital is defined as shareholders equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way.
