Vertiv Reports Record Fourth Quarter 2022 Net Sales, Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit(1) and Price Realization; Raising Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Guidance for 2023

  • Sales of $1,655 million, operating profit of $162 million and adjusted operating profit of $211 million in fourth quarter 2022
  • Fourth quarter price realization of $135 million. Net price-cost tailwind of $80 million in fourth quarter 2022
  • Record high backlog of $4.8 billion provides good visibility into top-line growth projections for 2023
  • Fourth quarter financial performance provides momentum for strong 2023. Expect 2023 net sales growth of 15%, operating profit of $568 million to $618 million and adjusted operating profit of $750 million to $800 million, up 76% at the midpoint of guidance compared to 2022

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. Vertiv reported fourth quarter net sales of $1,655 million, an increase of $244 million, or 17.3%, compared with last year’s fourth quarter and a 22.0% organic net sales increase(1), which excludes the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Foreign currency negatively impacted fourth quarter sales by approximately $90 million from last year’s fourth quarter. As anticipated, due to a very challenging comparison, orders adjusted for foreign exchange declined 15% in fourth quarter versus the prior year quarter and increased 7% sequentially compared to third quarter 2022 – signifying that our end markets remain healthy as the absolute value of orders booked remains high. Backlog at the end of 2022 was $4.8 billion, an increase of 49% from the end of 2021.

Fourth quarter operating profit of $162 million increased $166 million as compared with the prior year fourth quarter, and adjusted operating profit of $211 million increased $117 million from the same period. These increases were driven by benefits received from pricing and volume, and were partially offset by material and freight inflation, foreign exchange and one-time fixed cost benefits realized in fourth quarter 2021. Fourth quarter price realization of $135 million was consistent with our October guidance, and our full year 2022 price realization of $365 million was consistent with our beginning of the year guidance. Price-cost was positive $80 million in the fourth quarter, and all regions were positive price-cost for the quarter. While fourth quarter 2022 adjusted operating profit was below the October guidance range primarily due to the COVID-19 outbreak in China and E&I performance, which was partially offset by less foreign exchange impact, Vertiv’s run-rate performance in the fourth quarter firmly supports Vertiv’s current 2023 outlook, as discussed below.

“2022 was a pivotal and transformative year for Vertiv that culminated in our best quarter ever, with strong year-over-year and sequential growth in revenue, operating profit, margins, cash flow and a record backlog,” said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv’s Chief Executive Officer. “Supply chain pressures are easing, pricing continues to improve, and we have made steady progress in the Americas with operating margins in that segment rebounding to over 20% in the fourth quarter. While cautious about an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, we continue to see healthy demand in our end markets and are confident in our positive outlook for 2023. By prudently managing costs, maintaining a laser-sharp focus on operational execution, efficiency and building a high-performance culture, we are positioning Vertiv for sustained long-term growth and value creation.”

Dave Cote, Vertiv’s Executive Chairman, added: “After a challenging end to 2021, in February we laid out a strategic framework for strengthening our supply chain, addressing cost pressures and operational challenges in the Americas, and advancing our aggressive pricing plan to drive margin improvement and enhanced profitability. Each quarter showed marked sequential improvement, and our fourth quarter financial results demonstrate the meaningful progress we have made in executing our strategy. Under Gio’s leadership, we made rapid and visible progress in turning around the Americas. Now as CEO, he and his leadership team are applying that same rigor across the entire organization to deliver improved performance and profitability in 2023 and beyond.”

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash generated by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $181 million, an increase of $144 million from the prior year quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $143 million, an increase of $135 million from the prior year quarter. Fourth quarter adjusted free cash flow, while significantly positive, was below the guidance range primarily due to timing of shipments and associated collections, delayed collections in China due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and higher inventory balances due to supply chain challenges with certain components. We remain committed to a significant improvement in adjusted free cash flow for 2023, as reflected in our guidance, which we anticipate will be driven by improved profitability and optimized working capital programs already underway. Liquidity at the end of the fourth quarter was $578 million.

Full Year and First Quarter 2023 Guidance

We believe that our strong fourth quarter 2022 financial results position us well for 2023. We anticipate 2023 organic net sales growth of 15%, supported by our backlog. Although the macro-economic environment remains uncertain, our backlog gives us good visibility to a strong sales trajectory for 2023. Our 2023 guidance assumes price realization of $275 million, which includes $200 million of carryover price, and an overall price-cost tailwind of $100 million versus the prior year. We will continue to invest in R&D and capacity expansions, with an incremental investment of $40 million planned for 2023. Our full-year guidance for adjusted operating profit is up over 75%, and adjusted operating margin is up 430 basis points versus 2022. Adjusted free cash flow guidance for 2023 is $300 million to $400 million, a $610 million anticipated improvement (at the midpoint) year over year driven by improved profitability and substantially less cash used for working capital as optimization programs take hold.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the news release, as further described above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to first quarter and full-year 2023 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

See “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for Vertiv’s reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Vertiv’s non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and certain mergers and acquisition costs;
  • Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
  • Organic net sales growth which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate, acquisition and divestiture;
  • Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures, investments in capitalized software and include proceeds from disposition of PP&E; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, certain merger and acquisition costs, and change in warranty liability.

Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS is based on 378.4 million shares (includes 377.3 million basic shares, 1.1 million potential dilutive stock options and restricted stock units). We believe that this Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS presentation is more representative of operating results by removing the impact of warrant liability accounting and the associated impact on diluted share count.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2023 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
