Hubbell Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Shelton, CT, Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

HUBBELL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

  • Q3 diluted EPS of $2.78; adjusted diluted EPS of $3.08
  • Q3 net sales +21% (organic +20%)
  • Operating margin expansion of 200 bps; adjusted operating margin expansion of 190 bps
  • Raise FY22 diluted EPS to $9.10-$9.30; adjusted diluted EPS of $10.25-$10.45

SHELTON, CT. (October 25, 2022) – Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBB) today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Company is reporting its diluted earnings per share data and adjusted diluted earnings per share data on a continuing operations basis.

“Hubbell delivered another strong quarter of operating performance,” said Gerben Bakker, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Grid modernization and electrification continue to drive strong demand for Hubbell products in front of and behind the meter, while solid execution on price/cost contributed to significant operating margin expansion and operating profit growth in the quarter.”

Mr. Bakker continued, “Utility Solutions orders continue to outpace robust shipment levels as utility customers actively invest to harden and modernize critical grid infrastructure and telecommunications customers actively invest in broadband and fiber network upgrades. In Electrical Solutions, broad-based industrial growth and strong performance across datacenter, communications and renewables markets more than offset continued weakness in residential markets.”

Mr. Bakker concluded, “From an operating standpoint, we continue to effectively navigate a dynamic environment. Supply chain headwinds and significant non-material inflation persist, but price traction remains strong and material costs eased in the quarter. Overall, we are pleased with the year-to-date execution, and remain confident in our ability to continue delivering attractive near-term and long-term results for our shareholders.”

Certain terms used in this release, including "net debt", "free cash flow", "organic net sales", "organic net sales growth", "restructuring-related costs", "Adjusted EBITDA", and certain other "adjusted" measures, are defined under the section entitled "Non-GAAP Definitions." See page 8 for more information.

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The comments and year-over-year comparisons in this segment review are based on third quarter results in 2022 and 2021.

Utility Solutions segment net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased 29% to $775 million compared to $602 million reported in the third quarter of 2021. Organic net sales increased 28% in the quarter while acquisitions added 1%. Total Utility T&D Components net sales increased approximately 38% and Utility Communications and Controls net sales increased by approximately 3%. Operating income was $130 million, or 16.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $80 million, or 13.2% of net sales in the same period of 2021. Adjusted operating income was $144.1 million, or 18.6% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $94 million, or 15.7% of net sales in the same period of the prior year. Increases in adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating margin were primarily due to volume growth and price realization in excess of material cost inflation, partially offset by higher logistics and supply chain costs, cost increases in excess of productivity, as well as increased investment in the business.

Electrical Solutions segment net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased 12% to $542 million compared to $482 million reported in the third quarter of 2021. Organic net sales increased 10% in the quarter while acquisitions added 3%, and foreign exchange caused a 1% decrease. Operating income was $73.8 million, or 13.6% of net sales, compared to $66.3 million, or 13.8% of net sales in the same period of 2021. Adjusted operating income was $80.3 million, or 14.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $69.6 million, or 14.5% of net sales in the same period of the prior year. Changes in adjusted operating profit and operating margin were driven primarily by volume growth and price realization in excess of material cost inflation, partially offset by higher logistics and supply chain costs, cost increases in excess of productivity and increased restructuring investment.

Adjusted EPS in the third quarter 2022 results exclude $0.28 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and $0.02 due to a pension settlement charge. Adjusted EPS in the third quarter 2021 results exclude $0.25 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Results from discontinued operations are presented on a GAAP basis and include amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and separation costs and gain on disposal of business.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $219.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 versus $98.4 million in the comparable period of 2021. Free cash flow was $194.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 versus $72.5 million in the comparable period of 2021.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

For the full year 2022, Hubbell anticipates diluted earnings per share in the range of $9.10-$9.30 and anticipates adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") in the range of $10.25-$10.45. Adjusted EPS excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which the Company expects to be approximately $1.05 for the full year and approximately $0.10 due to a pension settlement charge. The Company believes Adjusted EPS is a useful measure of underlying performance in light of our acquisition strategy and core operations.

Hubbell anticipates full year 2022 total sales growth of +18-19% and organic net sales growth of +17-18%, as compared to full year 2021. The Company anticipates net M&A contributing +1% to full year sales growth and approximately $0.10 of full year Adjusted EPS.

Updated 2022 guidance also incorporates the anticipation of accelerated investments in the fourth quarter of 2022. These investments include an acceleration of planned restructuring and footprint optimization initiatives, targeted capacity expansion in areas with high visibility to strong demand, and innovation initiatives in strategic growth verticals. The Company expects approximately $0.30-$0.40 per share of restructuring and related investments for the full year 2022.

The earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share ranges are based on an adjusted tax rate of ~22%. The Company expects full year 2022 free cash flow conversion of approximately 90% of adjusted net income.

NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS

References to "adjusted" operating measures exclude the impact of certain costs, gains or losses. Management believes these adjusted operating measures provide useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and an understanding of our results of operations without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Adjusted operating measures are non-GAAP measures, and include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income from continuing operations attributed to Hubbell Incorporated, adjusted net income from continuing operations available to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell, adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude, where applicable:

  • Amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions arise from the allocation of the purchase price using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations.” These assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames, and patents, as reported in Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under the heading “Total Definite-Lived Intangibles,” within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021. The Company excludes these non-cash expenses because we believe it (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of our results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from our non-GAAP results, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated.
  • Pension charges including settlement charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  • Losses recognized in the second quarter of 2021 from the early extinguishment of long-term debt and the disposition of a business. The Company excludes these losses because we believe it enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance and facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods.
  • Income tax effects of the above adjustments which are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless otherwise noted.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the items noted above and also excludes the Other income (expense), net, Interest expense, net, and Provision for income taxes captions of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, as well as depreciation and amortization expense.

Net debt (defined as total debt less cash and investments) to total capital is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is a useful measure for evaluating the Company's financial leverage and the ability to meet its funding needs.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate cash without reliance on external financing. In addition, management uses free cash flow to evaluate the resources available for investments in the business, strategic acquisitions and further strengthening the balance sheet.

In connection with our restructuring and related actions, we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incur restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as "restructuring and related costs", which is a non-GAAP measure.

Organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure, represent net sales according to U.S. GAAP, less net sales from acquisitions and divestitures during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture, respectively, less the effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange. The period-over-period effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange is calculated as the difference between local currency net sales of the prior period translated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the same local currency net sales translated at the prior period exchange rate. We believe this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. When comparing net sales growth between periods excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. For example, because net sales from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the first year following the acquisition, net sales from such acquisition are reflected as organic net sales thereafter.

There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not present complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported GAAP financial results, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the tables below.
