SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Helios Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology for diverse end markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2021. Results include a full quarter of BWG Holdings I Corp. (known as “Balboa Water Group” or “Balboa acquisition”), which was acquired on November 6, 2020.

Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter well exceeded our expectations. Our performance was a direct result of the plans we put into place in the second half of last year and the excellent execution by the Helios team against those plans. In addition, end markets that we had projected would be strong, were even stronger than expected. We had very robust demand across many markets, with record levels in our Electronics segment as well as for our quick release couplings in our Hydraulics segment. We believe our leading market position, best in class lead times, and top-tier technologies are driving market share gains. Importantly, we were able to expand capacity and increase productivity to capture that demand. We believe our diversification strategy is also delivering, as we continue to add new customers in new markets.

While there are headwinds from increasing material costs, supply chain constraints and higher freight expenses, we are holding our margins level for the year as we carefully manage pricing to strengthen our advantages in the market and gain share.”

He concluded, “We are executing well on our augmented value streams so we can meet demand, diversify our markets and drive operating improvements. Our recent flywheel acquisition of Shenzhen Joyonway Electronics & Technology Company in China demonstrates our intent to expand our capacity and build our ‘in the region for the region’ capabilities. We continue to build our engineering expertise and expand our technology and product offerings. Additionally, we have structured our business to leverage across the organization to enable growth and drive profitability.”

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 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 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 all markets, in particular agriculture, construction equipment, recreation, and health & wellness. Results include a full quarter contribution from the Balboa acquisition.
  • Strength in demand across all regions.
  • Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $5.8 million favorable.

Profits and margins

  • Gross profit and margin drivers: Gross profit and margin were influenced by mix of products sold, the business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has lower gross margin but higher operating margin, as well as the increasing freight costs and constraints with the supply chain.
  • Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: as a percentage of sales, improved 490 basis points to 14.9%, reflecting both the business model of the Balboa acquisition and continued cost containment initiatives.
  • Amortization of intangible assets: $10.2 million was up from $4.3 million in the prior year reflecting the acquisition.
  • Goodwill impairment charge: $31.9 million in first quarter of 2020, resulting from weakened market outlook primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-operating items

  • Net interest expense: $4.8 million in the quarter, up $1.8 million compared with the prior-year period due to higher debt balances.
  • Effective tax rate: 23.2% compared with 22.3% in the prior-year period, which excludes non-taxable goodwill impairment charge.

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

  • GAAP net income and earnings per share: $22.6 million and $0.70 per share.
  • Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $0.99 compared with $0.56 last year on strong demand, operational efficiencies and better-than-expected performance of the Balboa acquisition.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin: Improved 160 basis points to 25.1% compared with the prior-year period due higher volume and operational efficiencies.

First Quarter Hydraulics Segment Review

  • Higher sales in the European, Middle East, Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia/Pacific (“APAC”) regions, were driven by demand from the construction and agricultural end markets. This more than offset softness in the Americas; foreign currency exchange rates had a $5.7 million favorable adjustment on sales.
  • The change in gross margin was mostly the result of product mix and increases in freight to meet customer requirements in a timely manner.
  • Operating margin improved 290 basis points reflecting strong cost containment efforts.

First Quarter Electronics Segment Review

  • Sales increased mostly as a result of the Balboa acquisition. This was the first full quarter of revenue contribution from Balboa. Strong demand from health & wellness and recreational markets as well as new product introductions drove significant sales increases despite headwinds from supply chain constraints to meet demand.
  • Gross margin reflects the different business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has lower gross margins that are offset by a lower SEA expense structure.
  • Operating margin of 21.4%, up 270 basis points compared with the prior-year period, demonstrates the business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has an inherently lower operating expense structure, and higher volume in the organic business. SEA expenses increased due to the incremental expenses from the acquisition.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

  • Total debt was reduced by $10.2 million to $452.2 million during the first quarter of 2021 from $462.4 million at January 2, 2021, reflecting net repayment of $5.9 million in the quarter.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at April 3, 2021 were $25.9 million, up $0.7 million from the end of 2020.
  • Pro-forma net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.65x at the end of the first quarter 2021 compared with 3.0x (pro-forma for Balboa) at the end of 2020 demonstrating the Company’s ability to rapidly de-lever the balance sheet following an acquisition. At the end of the first quarter 2021, the Company had $150.1 million available on its revolving lines of credit.
  • Net cash provided by operations remained flat at $15.1 million in the first quarter 2021 and in the prior-year period.
  • Capital expenditures were $5.0 million, or approximately 2% of sales. The Company continues to expect to spend between $30 to $35 million in capital investments in 2021.
  • Paid 98th sequential quarterly cash dividend on April 20, 2021.

Tricia Fulton, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer commented, “The increase in our guidance for 2021 is driven by the strong end market demand we had in the first quarter and expect to continue throughout 2021. We are able to leverage our fixed cost base and maintain our strong margins even given the headwinds on material costs and logistics and our decision to manage price to our competitive advantage.”

In addition, we may make other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, from time to time. 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.

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) conditions in the capital markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of capital; (ii) our failure to realize the benefits expected from the Balboa acquisition, our failure to promptly and effectively integrate the Balboa acquisition and the ability of Helios to retain and hire key personnel, and maintain relationships with suppliers (iii) risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks and similar outbreaks, including, without limitation, the current COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect our supply chain and material costs, which could have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows; (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; and (v) new product introductions, product sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally.

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 margin. 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 2021 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 2021 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. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
