Fiscal 2024 Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations Comparisons

Consolidated net sales were $589.5 million compared to $598.2 million in fiscal 2023, a decrease of 1.5%. Organic sales, excluding the disposition of Cortland Industrial and the impact of foreign currency, increased 2.2% year-over-year, with product and service revenues ahead 1.2% and 6.6%, respectively. Net sales growth for the Industrial Tools & Services (IT&S) reportable segment was 2.9%, with organic sales growth of 2.7%, partially offset by a year-over-year decline at Cortland Biomedical, which comprises the Other operating segment.

Gross margin expanded 180 basis points year-over-year to 51.1%, driven by several factors, including benefits from pricing actions, a favorable sales mix, and the disposition of Cortland Industrial. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $176.0 million declined $36.2 million year-over-year because of lower ASCEND transformation program expenses and a continued focus on driving greater efficiency and productivity. Adjusted SG&A of $162.4 million declined $6.4 million year-over-year, resulting in an adjusted SG&A of 27.6% of sales, down 60 basis points from 28.2% of sales in fiscal 2023.

Operating profit increased 45% year-over-year to $121.6 million, with an operating profit margin of 20.6%, up from 14.0% in fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating profit increased 11% to $136.7 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 23.2%, a 270 basis point expansion over fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2024 net earnings and diluted EPS were $82.2 million and $1.50, respectively, compared to $53.6 million and $0.94, respectively, in fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $147.5 million compared to $136.3 million in fiscal 2023. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 220 basis points from 22.8% to 25.0% in fiscal 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $81.3 million in fiscal 2024, compared to $77.6 million in fiscal 2023. The increase in cash from operations was primarily due to higher net earnings as well as lower ASCEND transformation payments, partially offset by changes in working capital.

Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations Comparisons

Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $158.7 million compared to $160.6 million in the prior-year period, a 1.2% decline. While the rate of growth decelerated over the course of fiscal 2024, organic sales grew 0.9% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, with product sales down 0.8% and service revenues up 9.7%.

Operating profit declined 7% year-over-year to $30.0 million, with an operating profit margin of 18.9%, down from 20.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating profit declined 3% to $35.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an adjusted operating margin of 22.5%. While the Company continued to control SG&A expense in the fourth quarter, gross margins were negatively impacted by lower product sales year-over-year, a higher percentage of service revenue, and unfavorable mix within the service projects completed.

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $23.4 million and $0.43, respectively, compared to $23.1 million and $0.41, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $38.6 million compared to $40.1 million in the year-ago period.

Outlook

“In setting our guidance for fiscal 2025, we are taking into account an expectation of a continued decline in the general industrial market. However, we believe Enerpac will continue to generate growth in fiscal 2025, representing our ability to outperform the industry and gain share driven by our targeted growth strategy,” concluded Sternlieb.

The company set its full-year fiscal 2025 net sales guidance range at $610 million to $625 million, which includes organic growth of 0% to 2% and total net sales growth, inclusive of DTA, of 3% to 6%.

Forecasted adjusted EBITDA is $150 million to $160 million, with anticipated free cash flow of $85 million to $95 million. This forecast is based on the Company’s key foreign exchange rate assumptions and assumes that there is no broad-based global recession.

Notes:                      
(1) Approximately $0.4 million of the Q4 fiscal 2024 and $0.6 million of the Q4 fiscal 2023 restructuring charges were recorded in cost of products sold.
(2) EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before financing costs, net, income tax expense, and depreciation & amortization. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA are calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The amounts included in the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings, operating profit or operating cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it regularly reviews these performance measures. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors and lenders, and are presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Notes continued:
(4) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures are not calculated based upon GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Enerpac Tool Group companies.
                       
For all reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures, the summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding. With respect to the earnings per share reconciliations the impact of share dilution on the calculation of the net earnings or loss per share and discontinued operations per share may result in the summation of these components not equaling the total earnings per share from continuing operations.

Notes continued:    
(5) Management does not provide guidance on GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included above only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
