ABC Technologies Holdings Inc. Reports Q3 Fiscal 2022 Results

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ABC Technologies Holdings Inc. (TSX: ABCT) (“ABC Technologies”, “ABC”, or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom, highly engineered, technical plastics and lightweighting innovations to the light vehicle industry, today announced results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 (“Q3 Fiscal 2022” and “YTD Fiscal 2022”, respectively) and has declared a quarterly cash dividend of C$0.0375 per share. All amounts are shown in United States Dollars (“$”), unless otherwise noted.

Please click HERE for ABC’s Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 MD&A or refer to the Company’s Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and the Company’s MD&A for same period on the Company’s profile at www.SEDAR.com.

Q3 Fiscal 2022 Highlights

  • Q3 Fiscal 2022 revenue of $285.8 million was up $67.8 million, or 31.1% year over year, supported by slowly normalizing industry production as well as acquisition revenue.
  • Q3 Fiscal 2022 net loss of $6.3 million compared to net loss of $20.7 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021.
  • Q3 Fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA1 of $30.3 million was up $4.8 million, or 18.9% year over year, helped by strong profitability flow through on incremental revenue and EBITDA contributions from acquisitions during the quarter.
  • Q3 Fiscal 2022 Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 of $7.7 million was down $2.2 million against Q3 Fiscal 2021 due to higher capital expenditure.
  • Dividend of C$0.0375 per share declared.
  • During the quarter, the Company completed two acquisitions; the first significantly bolsters ABC’s reach in Fluidics through the addition of dlhBowles, Inc. (“dlhBowles”) and the second expands interior capabilities through the addition of German-based Karl Etzel GmbH (“Etzel”). Total consideration paid for the dlhBowles and Etzel acquisitions were $258.1 million and $68.4 million, respectively.
  • To fund the acquisitions, during the quarter, the Company completed a private placement and rights offering raising aggregate gross proceeds of $289.4 million.
  • Subsequent to the period-end, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale and lease back of its real estate properties in Mühlacker, Germany obtained through the recent acquisition of Etzel. Net proceeds from the transaction after commissions and fees are expected to be EUR 51.8 million. The Company entered into a foreign currency contract to hedge the net proceeds from the transaction and expects to receive approximately $58.2 million.

YTD Fiscal 2022 Highlights

  • YTD Fiscal 2022 revenue declined to $652.6 million from $737.7 million in the prior year period due to the ongoing production interruptions at OEM customer facilities brought on by several macroeconomic challenges, including global semiconductor and other commodity shortages brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and aftermath.
  • YTD Fiscal 2022 net loss of $50.9 million compared to a net profit of $0.1 million in YTD Fiscal 2021.
  • YTD Fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA1 of $30.4 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $106.5 million in the prior year period primarily on account of the above-mentioned revenue declines as well as continued elevated raw material costs, including resin, glass, rubber, paint, and steel, and higher freight and labor costs.
  • YTD Fiscal 2022 Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 of negative $46.8 million, compared to Adjusted Free Cash Flow of positive $96.4 million in the prior year period largely as a result of the above-mentioned negative operating results.
  • The Credit Facility was increased to $550.0 million from $450.0 million and the maturity was extended to February 2027 for all facilities except Revolving Facility B of $50.0 million, which is available until February 2023.
  • Closed the sale by ABC Group Canada LP, an affiliate of funds managed by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P, of its remaining minority stake in the Company to funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. for C$9.00 per share (the “Oaktree Transaction”).

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures including “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures used in this news release, including “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” to measures determined in accordance with IFRS that are their closest analogues, please see heading “Non-IFRS Measures and Key Indicators” below.

ABC Technologies’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Todd Sheppelman, commented: “ABC saw continued improvement in financial results in the quarter due to a combination of steady, though still depressed, production volumes at our OEM customers, and inclusion of our two recently closed acquisitions. Even with customer production improving slightly against Fiscal Q2, we continue to face increased raw material and labor costs, as well as lower OEM volumes due to semiconductor chip shortages, that negatively impacted results in the quarter. Despite these macro issues, our recent acquisitions have performed quite well, and we believe they will continue to improve ABC’s overall profitability margin. We are already seeing early signs of success in cross-sell to customers and synergy realizations that will build in the coming quarters. We expect that in Fiscal Q4 2022 and into Fiscal 2023 we’ll continue to see financial results improve as OEM volumes return, as well as seeing full year flow through of results from our recent acquisitions.”

Q3 Fiscal 2022 Results of Operations

Sales were $285.8 million in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with $217.9 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021, an increase of $67.8 million or 31.1%. Of this increase, $18.9 million is attributable to acquisitions accounting for 8.7% of the increase. According to IHS Markit reports, industry production in North America decreased by 1.8% in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared to Q3 Fiscal 2021, but the Company enjoyed improved sales to a number of significant customers due to its product mix relative to the industry.

Cost of sales was $247.4 million in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with $187.0 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021, an increase of $60.4 million or 32.3%, a portion of which is attributable to acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 86.6% in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with 85.8% in Q3 Fiscal 2021. Gross margin in Q3 Fiscal 2022 was lower than the comparable prior year quarter resulting from higher raw material costs, primarily resin, glass, rubber, paint, and steel, and other input costs such as labor and freight.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $29.3 million in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with $38.2 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $8.9 million or 23.3%. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.2% in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with 17.5% in Q3 Fiscal 2021. Q3 Fiscal 2021 included $7.7 million of initial public offering (“IPO”) costs and $6.5 million of transactional, recruitment and other bonus costs related to the IPO, neither of which were present in the current quarter. This $14.2 million reduction was partially offset by higher wages of $2.8 million, higher depreciation expense of $1.6 million, acquisition related costs of $1.3 million and directors’ and officers’ insurance of $0.8 million. A swing in foreign currency from a loss to a gain resulted in $1.8 million of reduced SG&A expenses.

Net loss was $6.3 million in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with net loss of $20.7 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021, an improvement of $14.4 million or 69.5%. Primary contributors to the change between periods are a $7.4 million increase in gross profit in Q3 Fiscal 2022 due to higher sales, $8.9 million due to lower selling general and administration costs, and a reduction in interest expense of $12.1 million, offset by a $13.6 million swing to income tax expense from recovery.

Adjusted EBITDA was $30.3 million in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with $25.5 million in Q3 Fiscal 2021, an increase of $4.8 million or 18.9%, primarily as a result of higher operating income due to the reasons described above.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $2.2 million lower for Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared with Q3 Fiscal 2021, primarily due to higher net cash flows from operating activities of $7.2 million offset by higher purchases of property plant and equipment of $4.6 million and lower one-time advisory, bonus and other costs of $4.2 million. As a result of cost pressures, the Company’s joint ventures did not issue dividends in fiscal Q3 2022.

YTD Fiscal 2022 Results of Operations

Sales were $652.6 million for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with $737.7 million for YTD Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $85.0 million or 11.5%. Excluding $18.9 million in sales attributable to acquisitions in the period, sales were 14.1% lower than the comparable prior year period. According to IHS Markit reports, industry production in North America decreased by 1.8% in Q3 Fiscal 2022 compared to Q3 Fiscal 2021. Comparatively, North America production decreased 14.7% in Q2 Fiscal 2022 compared to Q2 Fiscal 2021, and 25.2% in Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared to Q1 Fiscal 2021. Lost production due to OEM plant closures due to semiconductor shortages resulted in a significant decrease in revenue compared to the comparable prior year period where production had approached near normal production levels after the initial COVID-19 lockdowns that had occurred in the period from March to May 2020.

Cost of sales was $597.8 million for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with $610.7 million for YTD Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $12.8 million or 2.1%. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 91.6% for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with 82.8% for YTD Fiscal 2021. Gross margin in YTD Fiscal 2022 is lower as a result of higher labor and freight costs, increased raw material costs, primarily resin, glass, rubber, paint, and steel, and from inefficiencies due to frequent plant closures by OEMs. YTD Fiscal 2021 enjoyed the benefit of $7.7 million in Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) payments which reduced wages in the period, which was also partially offset by the increased costs around managing COVID-19 effects in the same period, versus YTD Fiscal 2022 where the Company was ineligible to receive CEWS.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $86.8 million for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with $95.8 million for YTD Fiscal 2021. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.3% for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with 13.0% for YTD Fiscal 2021. Wages and salaries in YTD Fiscal 2022 were $3.9 million lower than in YTD Fiscal 2021 as a result of adjustments to compensation due to lower sales. In addition, during YTD Fiscal 2022, the Company incurred expenses associated with being a public company for the full YTD period, whereas the Company was public only during Q3 Fiscal 2021. Some of these costs include higher insurance (increase of $1.9 million) and higher share-based compensation ($1.4 million). YTD Fiscal 2022 also includes $5.3 million of acquisition related costs compared to $nil in the previous YTD period. Comparatively, YTD Fiscal 2021 included IPO related costs amounting to $7.7 million, $4.4 million of higher transactional, recruitment and other bonus costs and $1.6 million higher business transformation related costs than in the current YTD period.

Net loss was $50.9 million for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with net income of $0.1 million for YTD Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $51.0 million. Primary negative contributors to the change between periods is a $72.2 million reduction in gross margin and a $6.9 million reduction in income from joint ventures, offset by a favorable $8.9 million reduction in selling, general and administration expenses, $16.4 million of lower interest expense and $4.3 million of lower tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $30.4 million for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with $106.5 million for YTD Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $76.1 million or 71.4%, primarily as a result of $71.8 million reduction in operating income due to the reasons described above.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $143.2 million lower for YTD Fiscal 2022 compared with YTD Fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower net cash flows from operating activities of $118.7 million, higher purchases of property plant and equipment of $6.1 million and the net impact of hedge monetization amounting to $8.4 million. Fiscal 2021 results were positively impacted by working capital normalization following the first wave of COVID-19.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance

Continued volatility in the market over the past several quarters, driven primarily by semiconductor chip shortages, has begun to abate. If this trend continues towards a more sustained and stable production environment, we expect ABC will be able to resume earnings guidance.

Management remains confident in the go-forward performance potential of ABC and maintains the view that with improvements in the current supply chain issues, ABC will be able to return to the superior absolute and relative margins it enjoyed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dividend

The Board of Directors today has declared a Q3 Fiscal 2022 quarterly cash dividend of C$0.0375 per share, payable on or about June 30, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 31, 2022.

Non-IFRS Measures and Key Indicators

This news release uses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-IFRS financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods, to prepare annual operating budgets, and for the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and in analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute, for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures including Net Debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to provide supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when using IFRS financial measures. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance as these measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties.

“Net Debt” means (i) long-term debt less cash plus (ii) proportionate long-term debt held at joint ventures less proportionate cash held at joint ventures.

“EBITDA” means net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation of property, plant and equipment, depreciation of right-of-use assets, and amortization of intangible assets.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA plus: loss on disposal and write-down of assets, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments, transactional, recruitment, and other bonuses, acquisitions related cost, initial public offering related costs, business transformation and related costs (which may include severance and restructuring expenses), less: our share of income of joint ventures, plus the Company’s proportionate share of the EBITDA generated by our joint ventures, and share-based compensation expense. We also present Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of IFRS 16 by charging the lease payments applicable to those periods to expense as was the case prior to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”). The purpose of this is to allow direct comparability of these periods to Adjusted EBITDA performance in prior periods, which have been calculated under the previous accounting standards.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales adjusted to include the proportional share of joint venture sales attributable to ABC.

“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” means Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities less: purchases of property, plant and equipment, additions to intangible assets, lease payments, net impact of hedge monetization, plus: proceeds from disposal of property, plant, and equipment, cash dividends received from joint ventures, and one-time advisory, bonus and other costs.
