Helios Technologies Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

  • Strong net sales in Q1 at $129.5 million
    • $5 million headwind from COVID-19
  • Productivity improvements drove gross margin to 40.1%, up from 38.5%
  • Solid profitability; goodwill impairment resulted in EPS loss of $(0.54)
    • Non-GAAP cash EPS of $0.56
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $30.4 million, 23.5% margin on sales
  • Proactive cost reductions initiated in anticipation of COVID-19 related macroeconomic slowing

SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Helios Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global industrial technology leader that develops and manufactures solutions for both the hydraulics and electronics markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2020.

Tricia Fulton, the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer as well as Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our solid first quarter performance exceeded our expectations, despite a softer demand environment compared with a year ago. Most of the quarter was business as usual for us, with the COVID-19 pandemic conditions resulting in about $5 million lower sales in the quarter. As a result of government mandates, our China operations were shut down for six weeks beginning in February through mid-March. Production at our facility in Italy was shut down for four weeks in March and April, although customer shipping activities continued. After three additional weeks of being open only for certain government approved activities, the Italian facility opened for full production today, as the government mandate was lifted. However, current economic conditions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the recording of a $31.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge relating to our Faster business unit in the quarter. All of our other significant operations were deemed essential and are running near full capacity. We implemented substantial procedures to limit the spread of COVID-19 and keep our employees safe and healthy while responding to the needs of our customers.”

She continued, “Customer demand was steady for most of the quarter, with certain industries and regions experiencing more variation than others. Despite lower sales, both of our segments reported gross margin expansion compared with the prior year, evidencing our ability to manage costs and continue productivity improvements. Additionally, we reduced our net debt by over $11 million during the quarter, expanding our already strong liquidity position and maintaining our 2.1x net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio.”

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 EPS, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-recurring charges) 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 GAAP net income to non-GAAP cash net income and adjusted EBITDA. 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

  • $15.3 million decline, 10%, excluding the effect of currency; macro industrial softness and approximately $5 million attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic issues
  • Foreign currency translation on sales – $2.1 million unfavorable

Profits and margins

  • Gross profit and margin drivers – Gross profit negatively impacted by lower sales volume and unfavorable currency; gross margin improvement benefited from cost management efforts, production efficiencies and a non-recurring benefit in Electronics
  • Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses – Decreased primarily due to cost reduction efforts
  • Amortization of intangible assets – $4.3 million, comparable to the prior year
  • Goodwill impairment charge – $31.9 million, resulting from weakened market outlook primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Non-operating items

  • Net interest expense – $3.0 million ($4.4 million in prior year), decreased due to debt repayment
  • Effective tax rate – 22.3%, excludes non-taxable goodwill impairment charge (22.1% in prior year)

Net loss, EPS, non-GAAP cash EPS and adjusted EBITDA

  • GAAP net loss and EPS – Impacted by $31.9 million charge for goodwill impairment, as well as lower sales volume, partially offset by improved gross margin performance and lower interest expense
  • Non-GAAP cash EPS – Reflects the above, adjusted for amortization, goodwill impairment charge and other unusual items
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin – Decline of only 20 basis points on lower sales volume, reflects solid profitability in a softening demand environment

Hydraulics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)

First quarter segment sales of $103.8 million decreased $12.7 million, or 11%, compared with the prior-year quarter, impacted by softer end market demand including approximately $5 million attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease also included $2.0 million from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Sales declined in the Americas region by 10%. The Europe, Middle East, Africa (“EMEA”) region declined 18% and Asia/Pacific (“APAC”) region sales grew 3%, both excluding the $2.0 million effect of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.

First quarter 2020 gross margin of 38.2% expanded 160 basis points compared with the prior year’s 36.6% due to effective cost management efforts and production efficiencies gained from last year’s cartridge valve technology manufacturing consolidation project. This margin improvement was partially offset by government-mandated closure of the Company’s production facility in Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEA expenses in the 2020 first quarter decreased $0.6 million compared with the prior-year period, benefiting from cost management efforts.

Operating income in the 2020 first quarter was $21.5 million. Despite lower operating income due to lower sales, operating margin increased by 30 basis points to 20.7%, compared with 20.4% last year.

Electronics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)

Segment sales were $25.7 million for the 2020 first quarter, a $4.7 million, or 16%, decrease compared with the first quarter of last year. The decline was primarily due to softer demand in the recreational and oil and gas end markets, with the COVID-19 pandemic having a minimal impact. Foreign currency translation had a $0.1 million unfavorable impact on segment sales in the quarter.

First quarter 2020 gross margin was 47.5%, up 180 basis points from 45.7% last year. Gross margin benefited from cost management efforts as well as a non-recurring benefit from the release of contractual obligations to customers.

SEA costs in the quarter were comparable with last year.

Operating income was $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $6.5 million in 2019, with the 2020 operating margin declining to 18.7%, from 21.4% last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
Total debt was $294.4 million at March 28, 2020, down from $300.4 million at December 28, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents at March 28, 2020 were $27.3 million, compared with $22.1 million at December 28, 2019. The net debt decreased by $11.1 million in the 2020 first quarter and the net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio remained constant at 2.1x at March 28, 2020, compared with December 28, 2019. The Company has $195.1 million of availability on its revolving line of credit, which also allows for an accordion of up to an additional $200 million, subject to certain pro forma compliance requirements.

Ms. Fulton noted, “We have completed multiple planning scenarios for 2020 at varying demand levels. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to cover our operating cash needs over at least the next twelve months and we expect to remain cash flow positive for the year under all scenarios. Further, these analyses indicate that we maintain compliance with the covenants under our credit facility.”

Cash provided by operations was $15.1 million and $19.8 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, with the decrease due to lower net income and variations in working capital timing.

Capital expenditures were $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, with the decrease due to a conscious reduction in light of weakening end market demand and the COVID-19 situation. Given the current environment, capital expenditures in 2020 are now expected to be lower than the guidance previously provided, focused on higher priority and critical projects.

2020 Outlook
Ms. Fulton noted, “Given the significant uncertainty surrounding the eventual magnitude and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy globally, we withdrew our 2020 guidance when we announced our business update on March 24th. The economic impact of the pandemic has negatively affected our sales and orders for April. We expect second quarter headwinds, but anticipate that the largest impact was in the month of April due to shutdowns of many of our global OEM customers. A portion of our backlog has been postponed from April to later in the second quarter and a smaller number of orders have been cancelled. In other cases, we do not have updated order schedules from OEMs due to their extended shutdowns. With ongoing significant uncertainty, we do not have sufficient visibility to reinstate guidance for 2020.”

She added, “To be prepared, we have undertaken scenario analyses at varying potential demand levels. The Company has already instituted certain cost containment steps in an effort to mitigate the effects of the downturn. These actions include a temporary 20% salary reduction for all officers of the Company, layoffs and temporary salary reductions at Enovation Controls, a hiring freeze, reduction in the use of contingent labor and the elimination and postponement of capital expenditures. Additionally, our Board of Directors has agreed to reduce director compensation by 20% for the remainder of the year. To further protect the health and liquidity of our business, additional actions included in our scenario planning consist of:

  • Postponing additional non-essential capital expenditures
  • Reducing our temporary labor force
  • Reducing overtime
  • Applying additional salary reductions
  • Reducing working hours to lower payroll expense
  • Executing furlough programs and/or additional layoffs
  • Further reducing discretionary spending

The extent of such actions will be determined by the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn. Regardless, we are confident that we will successfully manage through the challenges we face, leveraging the strengths of the Helios organization, from our well-respected brands, to our dedicated global employees, and our ample liquidity, emerging as an even stronger organization as we pursue our Vision 2025 goals.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-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-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-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-EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
