Evoqua Water Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue of $477.8 million, an increase of 12.0% compared to the prior year period; organic revenue growth of 11.6%
  • Net income of $10.6 million, an increase of 43.2% compared to the prior year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $88.5 million, an increase of 20.9% compared to the prior year period

Evoqua Water Technologies (NYSE:AQUA), an industry leader in mission-critical water treatment solutions, today reported results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $477.8 million, compared to $426.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of 12.0%, or $51.1 million. Organic revenue growth contributed 11.6%, or $49.6 million, driven by favorable price realization and higher volume for products and services across most regions and product lines. Inorganic revenue contributed $5.3 million, primarily related to our acquisition of Smith Engineering in July 2022. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by $3.8 million in the period related to foreign currency translation. Net income for the quarter was $10.6 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.08, as compared to net income of $7.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.06 in the prior year period. The increase in net income of 43.2%, or $3.2 million, was favorably impacted by increased revenues and related profit. These benefits were partially offset by increased operating expenses as compared to the prior period, specifically higher legal expenses and other consulting fees associated with various matters and pending transactions, including the proposed merger transaction with Xylem Inc., as well as higher wages and other costs associated with acquisitions and inflation. The Company also recorded a loss of $4.5 million related to the sale of a business and impairment of a long-lived asset. The increased operating costs and losses were somewhat mitigated by non-cash foreign currency translation gains in the current period. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $88.5 million, as compared to $73.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 20.9%, or $15.3 million. See the “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for additional information regarding adjusted EBITDA.

“Our second quarter results were quite strong, with improvements across most key financial metrics,” said Ron Keating, Evoqua President and CEO. “Revenues were up 12.0% over the prior year period, broadly distributed across most regions and product lines. Overall market demand continues to be strong, our book to bill ratio was again over 1.0, and ISS backlog grew double digits over the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin achieved record levels for a second fiscal quarter, and we are very pleased with our performance improvements.”

Mr. Keating continued, “Our price / cost ratio continues to be positive and contributed favorably to margin expansion. We are seeing inflationary pressures stabilizing and material availability across most commodities and components recovering. We expect pricing and availability to continue to improve throughout the second half of our fiscal year. Inventories are up year-over-year supporting strong sales and order book growth but have come down from the prior quarter, leading to an improvement in net working capital. Operating cash flow increased year-over-year and sequentially compared to the prior quarter, driven by EBITDA performance and working capital improvements.”

Mr. Keating concluded, “We are pleased to have acquired the Texas based industrial water service business from Kemco Systems in February, further strengthening Evoqua's service footprint in the Texas market. Having announced our combination with Xylem in January, 2023 is shaping up to be a transformative year for the company. I appreciate the dedication and focused execution from our entire team as we delivered outstanding first half results.”

Revenue

Revenue is used by management to evaluate the performance of our business. Revenue growth is primarily related to organic and inorganic factors. Organic revenue growth, as a component of revenue growth, is defined as period over period revenue growth without (i) the impact from acquisitions and divestitures during the first 12 months following the closing of the acquisition or divestiture, which we refer to as inorganic impact, and (ii) the impact of foreign currency translation. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. We disregard the effect of foreign currency translation from organic revenue growth because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The effect of acquisitions and divestitures during the first 12 months following the closing of the acquisition or divestiture are excluded because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult between the Company and its peers due to the varying nature, size, and number of transactions from period to period.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the strength and financial performance of our core business.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including restructuring and related business transformation costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, and other gains, losses and expenses that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and provides greater clarity and comparability period over period to management and our investors regarding the operational impact of long-term strategic decisions relating to capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. In addition, adjusted EBITDA highlights true business performance by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations and provides investors with greater visibility into the ongoing organic drivers of our business performance.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance as follows:

  • to assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance;
  • in our management incentive compensation, which is based in part on components of adjusted EBITDA;
  • in certain calculations under our senior secured credit facilities, which use components of adjusted EBITDA;
  • to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies;
  • to make budgeting decisions; and
  • to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

In addition to the above, our chief operating decision maker uses adjusted EBITDA of each reportable operating segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis is defined as earnings before depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that have been reflected at the segment level. Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable operating segments do not include certain charges that are presented within corporate activities. These charges include certain restructuring and other business transformation charges that have been incurred to align and reposition the Company to the current reporting structure, acquisition related costs (including transaction costs and integration costs) and share-based compensation charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations from these results included below should be carefully evaluated. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, other companies in our industry or across different industries may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently.

The following is a reconciliation of our net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):

(a)

Restructuring and related business transformation costs

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain restructuring or business transformation events. These events may occur over extended periods of time, and in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods based on reorganizations of the business, cost reduction or productivity improvement needs, or in response to economic conditions. For the periods presented such events include the following:

 

 

 

(i) Certain costs and expenses in connection with various restructuring initiatives, including severance and other employee-related costs, relocation and facility consolidation costs and third-party consultant costs to assist with these initiatives. This includes:

 

 

 

(A) amounts related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives to reduce the cost structure and rationalize location footprint;

 

 

(B) amounts related to various other initiatives implemented to restructure and reorganize our business with the appropriate management team and cost structure.

 

 

 

(ii) Legal settlement costs and intellectual property related fees, including fees and settlement costs associated with legacy matters related to product warranty litigation on MEMCOR® products and certain discontinued products. Memcor ® is a trademark of Rohm & Haas Electronic Materials Singapore Pte. Ltd.

 

 

 

(iii) Expenses associated with our information technology and functional infrastructure transformation, including activities to optimize information technology systems and functional infrastructure processes.

 

 

(b)

Purchase accounting adjustment costs

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering adjustments for the effect of the purchase accounting step-up in the value of inventory to fair value recognized in cost of goods sold as a result of the acquisition of the Mar Cor Business.

 

 

(c)

Share-based compensation

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering share-based compensation expenses related to equity awards. See Note 17, “Share-Based Compensation,” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended March 31, 2023 for further detail.

 

 

(d)

Transaction costs

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering transaction, integration and restructuring costs associated with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred as a result of the transaction decision. Integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years and include, but are not limited to, consulting fees, legal fees, certain employee-related costs, facility consolidation and product rationalization costs and fair value changes associated with contingent consideration.

 

 

(e)

Other losses (gains) and expenses

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain other significant losses, (gains) and expenses. For the periods presented such events include the following:

 

 

 

(i) impact of foreign exchange gains and losses; and

 

 

 

(ii) legal fees and settlement costs incurred in excess of amounts covered by the Company’s insurance related to securities litigation and SEC investigation matters; and

 

 

 

(iii) loss on sale of the Filtration Business within the Integrated Solutions and Services Segment; and

 

 

 

(iv) impairment of certain long-lived assets related to product rationalization in the electro-chlorination business.
