CSW Industrials Reports Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Results with Record Revenue, EPS, EBITDA and Cash Flow from Operations

DALLAS, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSW Industrials, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSWI or the "Company") today reported record results for the fiscal 2024 first quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Highlights (comparisons to fiscal 2023 first quarter)

  • Total revenue increased 2% to a record $203.4 million, driven by $5.1 million in revenue from recent acquisitions
  • Net income attributable to CSWI increased 4% to $30.6 million, compared to $29.4 million, with no adjustments to earnings in either period
  • Earnings per diluted share (EPS) improved 5% to $1.97, compared to $1.88
  • EBITDA increased 10% to $54.4 million, with margin expansion of 200 bps to 26.8%
  • Record cash flow from operations, which increased 199% to $50.3 million, compared to $16.8 million
  • Paid down $43.0 million of debt, improving strength of the balance sheet significantly, resulting in a leverage ratio (Debt to EBITDA), in accordance with our credit facility, of approximately 1.1x

Comments from the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer

Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Once again, our team executed well in the face of unit volume declines in key markets and against strong prior year period results. Our first quarter results demonstrate yet another quarter of solid sales, excellent operational execution, and prudent expense management, resulting in record revenue and earnings. We meaningfully reduced our outstanding debt thereby strengthening our balance sheet, increasing our liquidity, and reducing our leverage ratio and interest expense."

Armes continued, "We delivered impressive operating leverage as EBITDA grew by 10% on 2% growth in revenue, while also generating over $50 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of almost 200% over the first quarter of last year. Taking into consideration the strength of our fiscal first quarter results, we still expect to deliver year-over-year revenue, EBITDA and EPS growth for the company as well as strong cash flow generation."

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Consolidated Results

Fiscal first quarter revenue was a record $203.4 million, representing 1.7% growth from $199.9 million in the prior year period. Of the $3.4 million total growth, $5.1 million was contributed by last year's Cover Guard, AC Guard and Falcon acquisitions. Organic revenue declined by $1.7 million as pricing initiatives were able to partially offset a unit volume reduction compared to last year's strong results. Revenue increased in the energy, plumbing and mining end markets.

Gross profit in the fiscal first quarter was $92.2 million, representing 6.6% growth from $86.4 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percent of revenue increased 210 bps to 45.3%, compared to 43.2% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was the result of pricing actions and a reduction in ocean and domestic freight costs.

Operating expenses as a percent of revenue were 23.1%, compared to 22.8% in the prior year period. Operating expenses were $47.0 million, compared to $45.6 million in the prior year period. The additional expenses were primarily due to increased employee expenses, and increased amortization of intangible assets as a result of recent acquisitions.

Operating income increased to $45.2 million, or 22.2% as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year period of $40.9 million, or 20.4% as a percentage of revenue. The 180 bps improvement in operating income margin resulted from the improvement in gross profit margin.

Net income attributable to CSWI increased 4.0% to $30.6 million, compared to the prior year period of $29.4 million, while EPS increased 4.8% to $1.97, compared to $1.88 in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2024 first quarter EBITDA increased to $54.4 million, representing 9.9% growth from $49.5 million in the prior year period. As revenue growth outpaced incremental expenses, EBITDA as a percent of revenue improved to 26.8%, from 24.8% in the prior year period.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal first quarter was 25.2%.

During fiscal first quarter, the Company paid down $43 million of debt, utilizing the record cash flows from operations of $50.3 million, an almost 200% increase over the prior year period. As of June 30, 2023, $210.0 million was outstanding on our $500 million Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in borrowing capacity of $290.0 million. Our interest rate swap executed in February 2023 hedges our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million of borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of fiscal quarter end, CSWI reported a leverage ratio, in accordance with our Revolving Credit Facility, of approximately 1.1x debt to EBITDA, lower than the 1.3x reported for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Following quarter end, the Company declared its eighteenth consecutive quarterly regular cash dividend in the amount of $0.19 per share, which will be paid on August 11, 2023, to shareholders of record on July 28, 2023.

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Segment Results

Contractor Solutions segment revenue was $140.0 million, a $2.3 million, or 1.7% increase from the prior year period. Revenue growth was comprised of inorganic growth of $5.1 million from the Cover Guard, AC Guard and Falcon acquisitions, which was partially offset by an organic revenue decrease of $2.8 million. The 2.0% decrease in organic revenue was primarily due to a decrease in unit volumes which was partially offset by pricing initiatives. As compared to the prior year period, net revenue growth was driven by the plumbing and architecturally-specified building products end markets. Segment operating income improved to $39.7 million, compared to $36.3 million in the prior year period. The incremental profit resulted from the inclusion of the Cover Guard, AC Guard and Falcon acquisitions, as well as a reduction in ocean and domestic freight expenses compared to the prior year period. This incremental profit was partially offset by increased spending on employee related expenses as well as additional amortization expense from recent acquisitions. Segment operating income margin improved to 28.3%, compared to 26.4% in the prior year period, due to gross margin improvement driven primarily by pricing and a reduction in ocean and domestic freight costs. Segment EBITDA in the current year period was $46.7 million, or 33.4% of revenue, compared to $43.0 million, or 31.2% of revenue in the prior year period.

Specialized Reliability Solutions segment revenue improved to $37.7 million, a $2.0 million, or 5.5% increase, over the prior year period, due to pricing initiatives and growth in the energy and mining end markets. Segment operating income improved to $7.0 million, a 36.7% increase from $5.1 million in the prior year period, driven by pricing actions and the management of operating expenses. Segment operating income margin in the fiscal first quarter improved to 18.5%, compared to 14.3% in the prior year period. Segment EBITDA improved by 26.9% to $8.5 million, or 22.4% of revenue, compared to $6.7 million, or 18.6% of revenue, in the prior year period.

Engineered Building Solutions segment revenue was $27.6 million, a 3.3% decrease from the prior year period, due to a slight volume decrease partially offset by pricing actions. The project mix of the current backlog skews more toward larger jobs in the architecturally-specified building products end market, which can take up to two years to turn into revenue. Segment operating income was $4.3 million, or 15.4% of revenue, compared to the prior year period of $4.4 million, or 15.5% of revenue. Segment EBITDA was $4.7 million, or 17.1% of revenue, compared to $4.8 million, or 16.8% of revenue, in the prior year period.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Words or phrases such as "may," "should," "expects," "could," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "forecasts," "predicts" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, earnings forecasts, effective tax rate, statements relating to our business strategy and statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies and anticipated developments concerning our industry, business, operations, and financial performance and condition.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates, and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the risk factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All forward-looking statements included in this press release are based on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes an analysis of adjusted earnings per share attributable to CSWI, adjusted net income attributable to CSWI, and adjusted operating income, which are non-GAAP financial measures of performance. Attributable to CSWI is defined to exclude the income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV.

CSWI utilizes adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as an additional consolidated, non-GAAP financial measure, which consists of consolidated net income including income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV, adjusted to remove the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and significant nonrecurring items. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and for a discussion of why we consider these non-GAAP measures useful, see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section of this release.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We use adjusted earnings per share attributable to CSWI, adjusted net income attributable to CSWI, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, cost of revenue, operating expense, operating income, net income attributable to CSWI and cash flows provided by operating activities, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. We also believe these measures are useful for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-recurring items. In the following tables, there could be immaterial differences in amounts presented due to rounding.
