    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 28 апр 2023 05:30:01   America/Chicago

    ATLANTA, April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. All first quarter 2023 results are Chart standalone full first quarter 2023 plus our stub ownership period of Howden following the completion of the acquisition from March 17, 2023 to March 31, 2023 unless otherwise noted. Further details can be found in the supplemental presentation accompanying this release and published in the investor relations section of our website.

    • First quarter 2023 record backlog for Chart of $3.9 billion, as well as record backlog for both Chart standalone and Howden standalone
    • First quarter 2023 orders of $747.7 million, driven by strong, continued broad-based demand across our end markets (including $121.1 million from Howden during our ownership period)
    • Record sales of $537.9 million including record sales in Heat Transfer Systems (“HTS”) and Repair, Service and Leasing (“RSL”)
    • Reported operating income of $36.2 million includes one-time costs primarily related to the Howden acquisition (which constituted 99% of the total adjusted costs); when adjusted, operating income of $72.5 million is an increase of 137% compared to the first quarter 2022
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $102.2 million is 19.0% of sales, our highest adjusted EBITDA for any first quarter in our history, and reflects margin improvement from price/cost, Howden’s contribution, our full solution project offerings, and record RSL gross profit and operating profit
    • Reported basic earnings per share (“EPS”) of ($0.51), or diluted EPS of ($0.46); when adjusted for one-time costs primarily related to the Howden acquisition, adjusted diluted EPS was $1.41
    • Increasing our 2023 sales outlook to $3.66 billion to $3.80 billion (from $3.65 billion to $3.80 billion) and associated adjusted EBITDA of $780 million to $810 million (prior range of $770 million to $810 million) driven by earlier than previously anticipated synergy achievements to date (annualized cost synergies of $50.9 million achieved to date)
    • Net cash from continuing operations of ($19.1) million and capital expenditures of $31.4 million; adjusted free cash flow of $16.1 million
    • Reiterating our expected 2023 cash available for debt paydown which does not include any proceeds from potential divestitures that remain on track for completion in the second quarter 2023 or early third quarter 2023

    Our first quarter 2023 results included record sales, record backlog, broad-based demand, and year-over-year improvement in reported and adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales, operating margin as a percent of sales and EBITDA margin as a percent of sales.

    Our first quarter 2023 results were strong both for Chart and Howden with $747.7 million of orders booked contributing to record $3.9 billion backlog. Howden standalone, Chart standalone, and the combined business all ended the first quarter 2023 with record backlog. This includes record Chart standalone backlog in three of our four segments – Cryo Tank Solutions (“CTS”), HTS and Specialty Products.

    Our broad-based global execution on pricing and on-time deliveries contributed to record sales of $537.9 million, and we are proud that our strong results are underpinned by our top priority of safety, with a March 31, 2023 combined total recordable incident rate (“TRIR”) of 0.56. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Chart and Howden global locations have operated for more than a year without an accident. In March 2023, we had 25 of our global operations sites with 95% on-time delivery or better, and 16 of those with 100% on-time delivery.

    Sales for 3 of our 4 segments, inclusive of the Howden two-week ownership period, grew more than 18% when compared to the first quarter 2022. RSL grew 144% in that timeframe, and Chart standalone first quarter 2023 RSL grew 11.2% compared to first quarter 2022. During first quarter 2023 we achieved record sales in RSL, HTS and Specialty Products (RSL and HTS had record sales on a standalone basis as well). Pro forma first quarter 2023 (Chart and Howden full quarter) sales grew approximately 15.9% excluding foreign exchange impacts when compared to the pro forma first quarter 2022 (Chart and Howden full quarter).  

    Numerous pricing actions taken the past two years, in conjunction with higher margin aftermarket, service and repair and more project work, delivered year-over-year first quarter 2023 reported gross profit as a percent of sales of 28.2%, a 460 basis point increase compared to the first quarter 2022. On an adjusted basis (adjusted primarily for one-time costs related to restructuring, integration and specific organic capacity installation costs), gross profit as a percent of sales was 28.6%, a 250 basis point improvement compared to the first quarter 2022.

    Gross profit was negatively impacted by the low volume in our HLNG over-the-road vehicle tank product, with a decline in sales of 79% (or $11.2 million) from the first quarter 2022 to first quarter 2023. Yet even with this headwind, our operating margin increased from 5.7 to 6.7% and the related reported EBITDA margin as a percent of sales increased from 10.4% to 12.5% from first quarter 2022 to first quarter 2023. When adjusted for one-time items, of which 99% of the total adjusted costs were related to the Howden acquisition, adjusted EBITDA was 19.0%, an increase of 350 basis points compared to the first quarter 2022.

    Reported basic EPS for the first quarter 2023 was ($0.51). Diluted EPS was ($0.46), or $1.41 when adjusted for costs primarily associated with the Howden transaction.

    Note that in the first quarter 2023 we did not make any adjustments or addbacks to gross profit, operating income, diluted EPS or EBITDA for additional noteworthy expenses totaling approximately $5.9 million, including costs related to our La Crosse, Wisconsin required union contract vacation expense of approximately $1 million, the strategic decision to support the development of a first-of-a-kind offering for a customer that we anticipate will be a high volume offering in the future, and customer specific freight concessions.

    Orders of $747.7 million included $121.1 million from Howden’s two-week stub period of ownership. Additionally, we booked a Big LNG order from Bechtel for air-cooled heat exchangers, brazed aluminum heat exchanger and ethylene storage tanks for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur Big LNG project. We also received an order for $115 million for our IPSMR® liquefaction systems from Wison Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. for small-scale LNG projects all driven by Chart’s IPSMR® technology, including one for end customer ENI. A separate order was also for brazed aluminum heat exchangers into a floating LNG application for $19.5 million. First quarter 2023 small-scale and floating LNG orders totaled $139 million, which was a 263% increase for these types of orders when compared to the first quarter of 2022. We also booked in excess of 60% more orders for hydrogen-related applications in the first quarter 2023 when compared to the first quarter 2022. We saw a continuation of rail car demand and multiple space exploration orders. And while our guidance does not include any new big LNG orders besides what is in backlog, we currently expect to book two to three additional Big LNG orders in 2023 (in addition to the first quarter 2023 Sempra Port Arthur work) and continue to have visibility to our expected ongoing Big LNG demand in the years ahead.

    Macro tailwinds continue to support our end markets, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) first ever proposed national standard to address PFAS contamination in drinking water, the Group of Seven (“G7”) support of continued natural gas and carbon capture and storage infrastructure, India’s green hydrogen incentives, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) “Pathways to Commercial Liftoff” roadmap for scaling up advanced nuclear, clean hydrogen and long-duration energy storage.

    Howden’s $121 million orders contribution to the first quarter 2023 included a wastewater treatment order in Ashbridges Bay, Canada with a new customer. This is for the first of ten compressors ordered to help manage wastewater treatment and we were selected based on improved efficiencies provided by our dual point control capabilities. This win contributed to our total Chart first quarter 2023 water treatment new build order growth of 34.6% when compared to the first quarter 2022.

    Howden also booked multiple larger orders into our ownership period to end the first quarter 2023 with continued broad-based demand, including a South African main surface fan stations order for $7.8 million, a $3.4 million turbo compressor order, equipment retrofits in Vietnam and Taiwan for $3.2 million, and booster fans for an Australian customer for $2.8 million.

    Howden’s industrial compressors (turbo compressors) had a record first quarter 2023 (full quarter) for orders, nearly twice their internal forecast and a record for this product line, which was driven by plants for non-ferrous Metals such as nickel, cobalt, and copper (directly linked to battery production).

    Howden’s full standalone first quarter 2023 aftermarket, service and repair book-to-bill was 1.23.   Howden also executed 23 long-term service agreements (“LTSA”) and framework agreements in the first quarter 2023 covering fans, compressors, steam turbines, and blowers, including a new LTSA with Sibanye Stillwater in South Africa for a three-year period.

    We continued to penetrate our broad-based, global addressable market with 21 first-of-a-kind orders, orders with 90 new customers, and 82 orders that each were greater than $1 million, including 28 from Howden in our first quarter 2023 two-week stub period ownership.

    Order momentum has continued in April 2023. Some examples of these wins include the finalization of a $5.3 million award of Marine blowers for South Korean ship builders, an order for LNG regas skid with a European customer for $4.8 million, a So2 blower order for $3.8 million, Howden reciprocating compressors for $3.3 million, South African Power customer spares and service orders of $2.8 million, another early commercial synergy win for hydrogen fueling station compressors for over $2.3 million, brazed aluminum heat exchanger (BAHX) energy applications with two different customers totaling $3.4 million, a water treatment solution for a mining customer in Canada of $1.1 million, offshore compressor parts and service for $1.1 million, 15 ISO containers for one customer at $1 million and multiple liquid hydrogen storage tank orders totaling over $7.5 million.

    Synergy execution is on-track to achieve our year-one targets of annualized cost synergies of $175 million and commercial synergies of $150 million.

    We continue to make early and ahead of schedule progress on our cost and commercial synergies related to the Howden integration. We reiterate our year-one cost synergy target of $175 million and our year-one commercial synergy target of $150 million (which is not included in our 2023 outlook).

    To date, we have achieved over $50.9 million of annualized cost synergies, ranging from reductions in overlapping headcount, to insourcing savings, to elimination of redundant systems and activities. Details can be found in the supplemental presentation to this release on slides 31 to 39. Additionally, we are excited about the early achievement of commercial cross-selling and the further identification of additional commercial opportunities by our team. Since closing on the Howden acquisition, we have expanded existing memorandums of understanding and signed new partnerships with 23 different partners to include both Chart and Howden content, including expanded agreements with ABB, and Carbon Cure and a new agreement with Iwatani. These 23 partnerships represent significant order potential for Chart in both the near and long-term, and we anticipate receiving orders before year-end 2023 from approximately 60% of these partners.

    We have already booked wins through the utilization of Howden’s field service teams on Chart installation work in the United Kingdom, the securing of a multi-million dollar order for our small-scale carbon capture technology in biogas applications as the result of Howden’s expertise in this end market, as well as a multi-million dollar hydrogen compression win for gaseous fueling stations via one of Chart’s existing hydrogen customers.  

    An example of a commercial synergy win is utilizing Howden’s hydrogen compression in a series of hydrogen fueling stations in California, USA. The customer is a hydrogen liquefaction customer of Chart and is working with another party on gaseous stations. Chart standalone would not have had any opportunity for content on the gaseous hydrogen stations. Through having Howden compression in-house, we were able to win a $2.36 million order for Howden content and in conjunction with this commercial win, we have over $20 million dollars of future opportunity on Howden compression with these two customers for multiple hydrogen applications. In addition, in this same order, we are able to achieve a cost synergy by bringing the packaging in-house to a Chart United States location, that otherwise would have been outsourced by Howden on a standalone basis.

    “We are extremely pleased to have closed on the acquisition of Howden earlier than anticipated and even more so with our synergy accomplishments in the first six weeks of operating as a combined company,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO and President. “Not only did we close the first quarter 2023 with broad-based strength in the order book and multiple records, our first quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.0% demonstrates the financial strength of the combined business.”

    Focus on deleveraging and achieving our target year-end 2024 net leverage ratio range of 2.5X to 2.9X, with March 31, 2023 net leverage ratio for our banking covenant of 4.08X.

    First quarter 2023 net cash from continuing operations was ($19.1) million. Capital expenditures of $31.4 million included $11 million related to the land for our Theodore, Alabama jumbo tank facility. Adjusted free cash flow of $16.1 million included adjustments for interest and bank fees, acquisition finance fees, Howden and legacy deal-related costs, and other operational addbacks, net of tax effects. Our first quarter 2023 net leverage ratio was 4.08X, better than our previously forecasted net leverage ratio of 4.25X.

    In addition to funding the Howden acquisition on March 17, 2023, during the stub period we also funded approximately $75 million for the completion of the settlement of the Pacific Fertility Clinic lawsuits related to the divested Cryobio business, approximately $11 million for the land related to our Theodore, Alabama jumbo tank site expansion, and approximately $44 million related to Howden specific payments; none of these are cash outlays that will repeat.

    We currently anticipate moving to the signing stage within the next several months on the two previously communicated potential product line divestitures, with one of these products lines expected to sign within the second quarter 2023, and the second within the second quarter 2023 or the first part of the third quarter 2023. More information can be found on slide 42 of the supplemental presentation.

    We also have an agreed upon term sheet for the sale of a small Chart product line, which is expected to close, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, in the first part of the second quarter 2023, for 4.25 million euros.  This small product line sale is contemplated in our guidance and will immediately improve our gross margin, operating margin and EBITDA margin.

    Increasing our 2023 outlook and reiterating our 2024 adjusted EBITDA outlook.

    Given the strong start to our synergy achievement, the continued demand in our commercial pipeline of the combined business, and our first quarter 2023 record backlog, we are raising our outlook for 2023 sales to be in the anticipated range of $3.66 billion to $3.80 billion (from the prior range of $3.65 billion to $3.80 billion), with associated adjusted EBITDA of $780 million to $810 million (from the prior range of $770 million to $810 million).

    Our 2023 outlook for adjusted diluted EPS is in the expected range of $5.50 to $6.70 (unchanged from prior outlook) on approximately 47 million shares outstanding. Our 2023 outlook for free cash flow is in the anticipated range of $300 million to $350 million excluding any impacts from potential divestitures (unchanged from prior outlook), and our cash available for debt paydown is expected to be in the range of $275 million to $325 million (unchanged from prior outlook).

    We expect to see the normal second quarter sequential increase in both Chart legacy and Howden’s business.  Each quarter of a year typically represents approximately 25% of a full year for Howden.  Regarding Big LNG projects, based on current customer schedules we expect to see a sequential increase in Big LNG sales and earnings in the second half 2023 compared to the first half 2023.

    While our guidance does not include any new big LNG orders besides what is in backlog, we expect to book two to three additional Big LNG orders in 2023 (in addition to the first quarter 2023 Sempra Port Arthur work) and continue to expect ongoing Big LNG demand in the years ahead.

    Additionally, we reiterate our 2024 adjusted EBITDA outlook of approximately $1.3 billion.
