Nov 01, 2017 04:05 pm
MILWAUKEE -- 

Rexnord Corporation (NYSE:RXN)

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales were $511 million and up 4% year over year (+4% core sales(1), -1% RHF product line exit, +1% foreign currency translation).
  • Diluted EPS was $0.23, compared with $0.24 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Net income(2) was $24 million, compared with $25 million in the year-ago quarter.
  • Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.32, compared with $0.38 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $98 million (19.2% of net sales), compared with $90 million (18.6% of net sales) in last year's second quarter.
  • Net debt leverage ratio reduced to 2.9x.
  • Completed Supply Chain Optimization and Footprint Repositioning initiatives.

Todd A. Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second-quarter operating results were in line with our expectations, as we delivered increased sales and positive core growth across both platforms and solid year-over-year margin expansion. Our free cash flow(1) has increased year over year through the first six months of the fiscal year as we are beginning to realize the benefits from completing our Supply Chain Optimization and Footprint Repositioning initiatives. We made significant progress with the roll-out of our DiRXN (pronounced “Direction’) digital enterprise strategy during the quarter, and our customers are responding favorably to the enhanced productivity we can deliver with our innovative Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) and e-commerce technologies.”

“Our Process & Motion Control (“PMC”) platform delivered a 5% net sales increase and 3% core growth in our second quarter as sales benefited from the ongoing recovery in demand for OEM and end-user applications across most of our end markets. We also achieved some early DiRXN milestones and initial deliveries of connected products have already demonstrated the ability to improve end-user productivity. We continue to leverage the Rexnord Business system (“RBS”) to capture the benefits of our leaner cost structure while sustaining our investments in the transition to a digital enterprise.”

“Our Water Management platform results benefited from positive growth across our nonresidential building and water infrastructure end markets and delivered 5% core growth with 200 basis points of margin expansion. Our new product introductions are being met with a favorable response from building owners and contractors and are expected to contribute more significantly to our growth in the second half of this year and into our fiscal 2019. Our recent acquisition of World Dryer adds a leading position in a strategic adjacent product category and further strengthens our ability to help building owners reduce their operating costs.”

Fiscal 2018 Outlook

Adams continued, “Halfway through our fiscal year, we are increasing our outlook for financial performance in our fiscal 2018 to reflect our confidence in both our progress on strategic initiatives and the ongoing positive development of demand across our primary end markets. We now project fiscal 2018 net income(1) to be in a range of $95 million to $102 million, Adjusted EBITDA(2) to be in a range of $375 million to $385 million, and our free cash flow to exceed net income.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 Segment Highlights

Process & Motion Control

PMC net sales increased 5% year over year to $300 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Core sales increased 3% year over year, excluding a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency translation. The increase in core sales is the result of favorable demand trends across the majority of our served end markets.

PMC income from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $45 million, or 14.9% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased by 200 basis points year over year, primarily due to the increase in core sales, lower amortization expenses, and benefits resulting from RBS-led productivity improvements, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals and incremental investments in our innovation, market expansion, and footprint repositioning actions.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) in the second quarter was $62 million. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales decreased by 50 basis points year over year to 20.7%.

Water Management

Water Management net sales were $210 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase of 3% year over year. Core sales increased 5% year over year, excluding a 3% adverse impact associated with last year’s exit of the RHF product line and a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency translation. The year-over-year increase in core sales reflects favorable demand trends in our nonresidential construction and water and wastewater infrastructure markets.

Water Management income from operations was $33 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018, or 15.4% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased by 270 basis points year over year, as benefits from core sales volume growth, favorable project mix, and ongoing cost reduction and productivity initiatives more than offset incremental investments in our innovation and market expansion initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) in the second quarter was $44 million or 21.1% of sales. Comparable margin increased by 200 basis points year over year.

Refer to "Non-GAAP 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 acquisitions (such as the Cambridge acquisition), divestitures (such as the RHF product line exit) 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 acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of 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.

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, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring 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. All references to Net Income and EPS within this earnings release refer to net income attributable to Rexnord common stockholders and net income per diluted share attributable to Rexnord common stockholders, respectively.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, 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 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 losses or gains. In view of our debt level, 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. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations (as it relates to our two reportable segments, we adjust from income from operations because “non-operating” expenses such as interest and income taxes are not allocated to our segments and therefore net income is not presented at the segment level) 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.

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.

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.
