We advanced our technologies through internal innovation along with integration of flywheel acquisitions. We are also creating additional centers of excellence to service our customers through leveraging a best-in-class manufacturing and operating approach. Our teams executed well on our augmented strategy, navigating a complex operating environment, and protected the business ending the full year with industry-leading margins.

He went on to say, “In 2023, we expect to build upon all our advancements made this past year. There is a high probability that global macroeconomic uncertainties and currency fluctuations will continue. We will remain focused on what we can control around product innovation, top-tier lead times, and our customer-centric, ‘in the region for the region’ approach to manufacturing and operational excellence. We recently acquired Schultes Precision Manufacturing adding additional customers and capabilities across several new markets. Combined with our organic growth and the Daman Products acquisition in the third quarter of 2022, we now expect to be able to reach our $1 billion revenue milestone with top-tier margins on a run rate basis ending 2023, not including any additional acquisitions in 2023. Importantly, at the mid-point of our diluted non-GAAP cash EPS range, we are still on track to hit our three-year CAGR growth rate of 22% established at our June 2021 investor day. Through our innovation strategy we are becoming a pure play Hydraulics and Electronics industry leader that we believe will be incredibly tough for our competition to follow.”

Sales

Sales in several end markets improved over the fourth quarter of 2021, with recreational, mobile equipment and industrial leading the growth, offset by the continued contraction of the health and wellness end market. Sales included $8.2 million in revenue from acquisitions. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).
Sales declined in the Americas, in Europe the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and the Asia Pacific ("APAC") regions compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. Sales across all regions, excluding foreign currency exchange rates (FX), are being impacted by the softening demand for electronics products in the health and wellness market.

Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $7.1 million unfavorable.

Profits and margins

Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit was down $11.1 million compared with the prior-year period. Changes in FX rates compared with the fourth quarter of 2021 reduced gross profit by $1.8 million. Gross margin declined by 200 basis points, driven by lower volume, higher raw material costs partially offset by the impact of price increases.
Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses were comparable with the 2021 fourth quarter.
Amortization of intangible assets: steady at $7.5 million compared to the prior year reflecting timing related to the Company’s acquisitions.

Non-operating items

Net interest expense: $5.0 million in the quarter, up $1.1 million compared with the prior-year period due to rising interest rates.
Effective tax rate: (2.3%) compared with 13.6% in the prior-year period reflecting levels of income in varying state and international tax jurisdictions.

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

GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share: $17.5 million and $0.54 per share.
Diluted Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $0.78 compared with $1.01 last year, due to margin contraction related to lower volumes, rising material costs and foreign exchange rates of ($0.02) per share, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA margin: despite macro headwinds and FX impacts, maintaining healthy level at 20% during rapid inflationary environment with headwinds from supply chain in the quarter.

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 were driven by strong demand regionally in the Americas and slow growth in EMEA. End market demand saw strength with recreational, mobile equipment and industrial leading the growth, offset by the continued contraction of the health and wellness end market. Results included $25 million in sales related to acquisitions. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).
Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $27.6 million unfavorable.

Profits and margins

Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit was down $14.3 million compared with the prior-year period. Changes in FX rates compared to 2021 reduced full year gross profit by $7.9 million. Gross margin declined 230 basis points driven by increasing material costs, FX impacts, and lower volume partially offset by increased pricing.
SEA expenses: 15.0% as a percentage of sales, comparable with the prior-year period.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased $4.7 million to $28.1 million from the prior year reflecting timing related to the Company’s acquisitions.

Non-operating items

Net interest expense: $0.2 million decrease to $16.7 million compared with the prior-year period on lower average debt levels even in a rising interest rate environment.
Effective tax rate: 19.2% compared with 20.3% in the prior-year period lower primarily due to a decrease in the foreign income taxed at different rates and state and local tax benefits.

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

GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share: $98.4 million and $3.02 per share, a 6% decline.
Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $4.03 compared with $4.25 in the prior-year period, a 5% decrease. The decrease was primarily driven by lower operating profits versus the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA margin: maintaining top-tier levels at 23.2% while down 140 basis points compared with the prior-year period due to inflationary environment.

Fourth Quarter Hydraulics Segment Review

Sales increased 7% to $140.2 million as demand in Americas and APAC helped to offset the lower sales in EMEA. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 12% driven by acquisitions as well as pricing and higher volume in the Americas. This was somewhat offset by lower volume in APAC and supply chain constraints. FX had a $6.8 million unfavorable adjustment on sales.
Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $1.8 million, or 4%, compared with prior-year period primarily due to price increases as well as acquisitions partially offset by unfavorable FX of $1.7 million and inflation. Gross margin reflects a modest impact from higher material and energy costs.
Operating income increased $3 million, or 11%, while operating margin of 21.8% increased 70 basis points reflecting the reduced SEA expenses.

Fourth Quarter Electronics Segment Review

Sales decreased 36% to $55.7 million, with demand across all regions declining due primarily to contraction of the health and wellness market. End market demand was driven by recreational, industrial, and mobile which only partially offset supply chain constraints and a contracting health and wellness market. Foreign currency exchange rates had a $0.3 million unfavorable impact on sales.
Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit decreased $12.9 million, or 47%, compared with the prior-year period primarily due to decreased sales volume in health and wellness and material cost increases. Gross margin declined 550 basis points to 26.2%, reflecting increases in raw material, labor inefficiencies, reduced fixed cost leverage on the lower sales and one-time restructuring costs incurred to realign the segments labor base.
Operating income decreased $14.7 million to $0.7 million, while operating margin declined 1640 basis points to 1.3% reflecting flow through of gross margin and operating expenses.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

Tricia Fulton, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We continue to navigate well despite the difficult macroeconomic environment, which has created overall uncertainty, higher interest rates, and lower consumer demand in some of our end markets. We have strong financial flexibility, which is paramount in this market, and have maintained industry leading adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year. Our strong cash flow generation has resulted in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of only 1.9x. We have continued to invest our capital into developing our advanced technologies through product innovations, executing on our flywheel acquisition strategy, as well as our manufacturing and operating strategy. Those investments are starting to drive productivity, margin enhancement and efficiencies, as well as leveraging ‘in the region, for the region’ operations to protect earnings and cash flow.”

Total debt at quarter-end was $446.1 million compared with $457.5 million at end of the third quarter of 2022. For the twelve-month period, borrowings, net of repayments, on our credit facilities amounted to $8.0 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 were $43.7 million, up $6.9 million or 19% from the end of the third quarter of 2022, and up $15.2 million or 53% from the end of 2021.

Inventory increased $11.9 million to $191.6 million from the third quarter of 2022 and was 16% higher than 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 increased slightly to 1.91x at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 (pro-forma for Taimi and Daman Products Company “Daman”) compared with 1.89x (pro-forma for the NEM and Joyonway acquisitions) at the end of 2021, impacted by the recent acquisition of Daman. At the end of fourth quarter 2022, the Company had $138.8 million available on its revolving lines of credit.
Net cash provided by operations was $35.7 million in the fourth quarter 2022 compared with $31.1 million in the prior-year period, bringing the twelve-month cash flow from operations to $109.9 million compared with $113.1 million for the comparable period in 2021.
Capital expenditures were $10.0 million in the fourth quarter 2022, or 5% of sales. This compares with $9.7 million, or 4% of sales, in the year-ago period. For the full year, capital expenditures were $31.9 million, or 4% of sales. This compares with $26.8 million, or 3% of sales in 2021.
Paid 104th sequential quarterly cash dividend on January 20, 2023.

Words such as “may,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals also are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guaranteeing future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward‐looking statements include, but are not limited to, (i) supply chain disruption and the potential inability to procure goods; (ii) conditions in the capital markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of capital; (iii) inflation (including hyperinflation) or recession; (iv) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the Company’s revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and increased labor and raw materials costs; (v) risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including, without limitation, the current COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in China, which may among other things, adversely affect our supply chain, material costs, and work force and may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows; (vi) risks related to our international operations, including the potential impact of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; and (vii) new product introductions, product sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally; (viii) our failure to realize the benefits expected from acquisitions, our failure to promptly and effectively integrate acquisitions and the ability of Helios to retain and hire key personnel, and maintain relationships with suppliers. Further information relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is included but not limited to information under the heading Item 1. “Business” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2022 and the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023.

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 measures. 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.

(1) Acquisition and financing-related expenses include costs associated with our M&A activities. These activities include all phases of the M&A process from analyzing targets, to raising funding, to due diligence and transaction costs at closing. We utilize internal resources for a significant amount of time spent on our acquisition activities and have chosen not to staff a full M&A department or use significant outside services. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months and year ended Dec 31, 2022, the charges include recurring labor costs of $0.4 million and $2.3 million, professional fees of $0.9 million and $2.0 million, travel costs of $0.2 million and $0.7 million and other M&A related costs of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

(2) Restructuring activities include costs associated with our actions to improve operating efficiencies and rationalize our cost structure. The 2022 costs relate to an operational restructuring that combined the manufacturing operations at two of our locations into one location as well as organizational restructures among several locations, which aligned employee talent with the strategic operational goals of the company. For the three months and year ended Dec 31, 2022, the charges include recurring labor costs of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, severance-related costs of $0.6 million and $2.3 million and manufacturing relocation and other costs of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we realized a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment related to our restructuring activities totaling $1.8 million.

(3) Acquisition integration activities include costs associated with integrating our acquired businesses, which can occur up to 18 months after acquisition date. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months and year ended Dec 31, 2022, the charges include recurring labor costs of $0.8 million and $2.5 million, professional fees of $0.2 million and $0.8 million and travel and other costs of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

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, cash net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency 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 2023 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.
