Hayward Holdings Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023 SUMMARY

  • Net Sales of $220.3 million
  • Net Income of $11.8 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $47.2 million
  • Diluted EPS of $0.05 and adjusted diluted EPS* of $0.09
  • Strong year-to-date cash flow from operations of $216.9 million

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) (“Hayward” or the “Company”), a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool and outdoor living technology, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 of its fiscal year 2023. Comparisons are to financial results for the prior-year third fiscal quarter.

CEO COMMENTS

“Our third quarter results were consistent with expectations, reflecting continued execution amid challenging operating conditions,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered strong gross profit margin expansion of nearly 400 basis points and generated cash flow through operational excellence and effective cost control. We are encouraged by progressively leaner channel inventory levels reported by our primary U.S. distributors and increased early buy orders compared to last year. However, channel partners are generally taking a cautious approach given the macroeconomic uncertainty and rising interest rate environment. While our outlook for the US and Europe is modestly reduced, we are updating our near-term outlook primarily as a consequence of additional pressure in Canada and other international markets. Longer-term, we have established a solid foundation for profitable growth and shareholder value creation, and we continue to invest in the business to enhance our competitive advantages.”

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales decreased by 10% to $220.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decline in net sales during the quarter was the result of lower volumes and a decrease in net price, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. The decline in volume was primarily the result of distribution channel destocking and the moderation of end-market demand due to macroeconomic factors. The decrease in net price resulted from an increase in sales allowances, which was primarily driven by activity in our seasonal year rewards programs, partially offset by positive list price realization.

Gross profit decreased by 2% to $105.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross profit margin increased 390 basis points to 47.8%. The increase in gross profit margin was principally due to management of our manufacturing costs, including reduced costs specifically in freight and tariffs, partially offset by lower operating leverage. The prior-year period included the impact from a non-cash increase in cost of goods sold resulting from purchase accounting.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”) increased by 18% to $59.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in SG&A was driven by increased field service warranty costs. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 640 basis points to 27.0%, compared to the prior-year period of 20.6%, driven by reduced operating leverage. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $6.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or 3% of net sales, as compared to $6.1 million for the prior-year period, or 3% of net sales.

Operating income decreased by 28% to $28.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, due to the aggregated effects of the items described above. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (“operating margin”) was 13.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a 330 basis point reduction from the 16.4% operating margin in the prior-year period.

Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 25% to $17.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily as a result of variable rate increases on the term loan, partially offset by net interest income on the Company’s interest rate swaps.

Income tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.3 million for an effective tax rate of (23.7)%, compared to income tax expense of $3.5 million for an effective tax rate of 13.3% for the prior-year period. The change in the effective tax rate was driven by the exercise of stock options, the release of the valuation allowance against foreign tax credit carryovers and prior period return-to-provision adjustments.

Net income decreased by 49% to $11.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA* decreased by 22% to $47.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin* decreased 320 basis points to 21.4%.

Diluted EPS decreased by 50% to $0.05 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted diluted EPS* decreased by 36% to $0.09 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023 SEGMENT RESULTS

North America

Net sales decreased by 9% to $185.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decline was primarily the result of lower volume along with a decrease in net price driven by comparably increased sales allowances. The decline in volume was driven by distribution channel destocking and the moderation of end market demand trends due to macroeconomic factors. The decrease in net price resulted from a comparable increase in sales allowances, which was primarily driven by activity in our seasonal year rewards programs, partially offset by positive list price realization.

Segment income decreased by 18% to $40.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted segment income* decreased by 19% to $46.1 million.

Europe & Rest of World

Net sales decreased by 15% to $35.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decline was primarily due to lower volume as a result of distribution channel destocking, geopolitical factors, and macroeconomic uncertainty, partially offset by net price increases and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Segment income decreased by 27% to $6.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted segment income* decreased by 23% to $6.7 million.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of September 30, 2023, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $244.2 million and approximately $158.0 million available for future borrowings under its revolving credit facilities. Cash flow provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $217 million was an increase of approximately $73 million from the prior-year period. The increase was primarily the result of cash generated by working capital compared to cash used for working capital during the prior-year period, partially offset by a decrease in net income.

OUTLOOK

Hayward is updating its guidance primarily to reflect the impact of more challenging macro conditions in Canada, the Middle East, and Latin America, in addition to modestly reduced expectations for the US and Europe. Early buy orders in our primary US market increased year-over-year and were in line with expectations. However, recent in-season orders have been softer than previously anticipated reflecting a cautious approach by channel partners ahead of 2024. For the full fiscal year 2023, Hayward now expects net sales to decrease 24% to 26% from the prior year and Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $245 million to $255 million.

While we expect continued challenging industry conditions over the near term, we remain positive about the long-term health of the pool industry, particularly the strength of the ever-increasing aftermarket, representing approximately 80% of the business. The industry continues to benefit from secular demand tailwinds, including outdoor living, sunbelt migration, smart home technology adoption, and environmentally sustainable products. Hayward is confident in its ability to successfully execute in an evolving environment in the near-term and its long-term outlook for robust growth and cash flow generation, driven by new product innovation, expanding commercial relationships, and operational excellence.

Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward’s management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “guidance,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward’s 2023 guidance; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; future channel stocking levels; and growth and expansion opportunities. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward’s forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.

Important factors that could affect Hayward’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward’s products to pool owners; impacts on Hayward’s business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic business and weather conditions; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; Hayward’s ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; impacts on Hayward’s business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating foreign businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials; Hayward’s ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; its reliance on information technology systems and susceptibility to threats to those systems, including cybersecurity threats, and risks arising from its collection and use of personal information data; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward’s current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; Hayward’s ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; Hayward’s ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation; Hayward’s ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements and tariffs, or address the impacts of climate change; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on Hayward’s product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic and other events beyond its control, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; uncertainties affecting the pace of distribution channel destocking and its impact on sales volumes; Hayward’s ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities; Hayward’s and its customers’ ability to manage product inventory in an effective and efficient manner; and other factors set forth in Hayward’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward’s expectations.

*NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) including adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total segment income, adjusted total segment income, adjusted total segment income margin, adjusted segment income and adjusted segment income margin. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Hayward believes these non-GAAP measures provide analysts, investors and other interested parties with additional insight into the underlying trends of its business and assist these parties in analyzing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short and long-term operating planning, employee incentive compensation, and debt compliance. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, segment income or other measures of profitability, performance or financial condition under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of full fiscal year 2023 adjusted EBITDA outlook to the comparable GAAP measure is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA outlook for full year 2023 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of this measure in the appendix.
