We are providing our customers with industry leading delivery schedules, innovating to create higher value hence stickier solutions to garner customer loyalty, and our sales and engineering teams are highly engaged with customers to enable their success.

See the attached tables for additional important disclosures regarding Helios’s use of non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, non-GAAP cash net income, non-GAAP cash earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales) as well as reconciliations of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP adjusted operating income and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and GAAP net income to non-GAAP cash net income, non-GAAP cash earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Helios believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the non-GAAP measures described above help improve the understanding of its operating performance.

Sales

  • Sales reflected strong demand across most of our markets with our mobile equipment and health and wellness end markets leading the growth. Responsive manufacturing processes was an enabler of growth allowing us to deliver products and solutions to customers in a timely manner amidst supply chain constraints. Sales included $7.2 million in revenue from acquisitions. Organic growth in the quarter was 14%. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).
  • Strength in demand across the Americas and EMEA, with moderate growth in APAC.
  • Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $4.7 million unfavorable.

Profits and margins

  • Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit benefitted from increased volume during the quarter while gross margin declined by 200 basis points compared with the prior-year period, due to increases in logistics, raw material and labor costs.
  • Selling, engineering and administrative expenses: as a percentage of sales, decreased 90 basis points to 14.0% compared with the 2021 first quarter, reflecting both the benefit of fixed cost leverage on higher sales partially offset by higher operating expenses.
  • Amortization of intangible assets: $7.0 million down from $10.2 million in the prior year reflecting timing related to the Company’s acquisitions. 

Non-operating items

  • Net interest expense: $3.8 million in the quarter, down $1.0 million compared with the prior-year period due to lower debt balances.
  • Effective tax rate: 22.4% compared with 23.2% in the prior-year period reflecting levels of income in varying tax jurisdictions.

Net income, earnings per share, non-GAAP cash earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA

  • GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share: $30.5 million and $0.94 per share, up 34%.
  • Diluted Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $1.18 compared with $0.99 last year, up 19% due to higher sales, operational efficiencies, and strong operating leverage.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin: 60 basis point impact to 24.5% compared with the prior-year period as higher volume was offset by increases in logistics expenses related to supply chain challenges, material inflation and labor costs.

First Quarter Hydraulics Segment Review

  • Higher sales were driven by improved demand in the Americas and EMEA regions, as well as many of our end markets driven by the mobile and industrial equipment markets; foreign currency exchange rates had a $4.5 million unfavorable adjustment on sales.
  • Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $5.4 million, or 12%, compared with the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to higher sales volume partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange. Gross margin reflects price increases and fixed cost leverage on the higher sales that were more than offset by increases in raw material, logistics and labor costs and the unfavorable impacts from exchange rates.
  • Operating income increased $3.5 million, or 13%, while operating margin of 23.1% reflects flow through of gross margin offset by fixed cost leverage on higher sales and disciplined cost management.

First Quarter Electronics Segment Review

  • Higher sales were driven by improved demand in our health and wellness and recreational end markets, as well as successful capacity improvement initiatives, partially offset by supply chain constraints.
  • Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $2.8 million compared with the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the increased sales volume. Gross margin reflects price increases and fixed cost leverage on higher sales that were more than offset by increases in raw material, freight, logistics and labor costs.
  • Operating income increased $2.2 million, or 12%, while operating margin of 19.8% reflects flow through of gross margin offset by fixed cost leverage on higher sales and disciplined cost management.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

  • Total debt at quarter-end was $438.1 million compared with $445.0 million at January 2, 2022, reflecting repayments, net of borrowings, on our credit facilities of $4.3 million in the quarter.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 2022 were $33.0 million, up $4.5 million from the end of 2021.
  • Inventory increased $14.7 million, or 8.9%, from the end of 2021 driven by the macro issues in the supply chain. These issues include the Company purchasing parts ahead of material shortages, holding some inventory for past due orders where one or two components have been delayed in the supply chain, along with customers changing shipping schedules once the Company has already manufactured the products.
  • Pro-forma net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA improved to 1.79x at the end of the first quarter of 2022 (pro-forma for NEM and Joyonway) compared with 1.89x (pro-forma for the NEM and Balboa acquisitions) at the end of 2021, further demonstrating the Company’s ability to de-lever the balance sheet following an acquisition. At the end of 2022 first quarter, the Company had $159.4 million available on its revolving lines of credit.
  • Net cash provided by operations was $14.7 million in the first quarter 2022 compared with $15.1 million in the prior-year period.
  • Capital expenditures were $5.6 million, or approximately 2% of sales. The Company expects to spend between 3% to 5% of sales in capital investments in 2022.
  • Paid 101st sequential quarterly cash dividend on April 20, 2022.

2022 Outlook

The Company reaffirms its expectations for 2022. This assumes constant currency, using quarter end rates, is based on organic growth only, and that markets served are not further impacted by the global pandemic or the geo-political environment.

This news release will discuss some historical non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful in evaluating its performance. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income recognized in a given period. You should not consider the inclusion of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

This news release also presents forward-looking statements regarding non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Diluted non-GAAP cash EPS. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s 2022 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Forward-looking Financial Measures:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are important for investors and other readers of Helios’s financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios’s management to better understand operating performance. Because adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share, as presented, may not be directly comparable with other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and cash net income and cash net income per diluted share disclosed above in our 2022 Outlook, to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods.
