First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

• Revenue of $322.2 million, down 6.9% compared to the prior year period; organic revenue down 3.5%
• Net income of $6.5 million; diluted earnings per share of $0.05
• Adjusted EBITDA of $44.8 million
• Operating cash flow of $15.6 million, an increase of $10.9 million compared to the prior year period

 

PITTSBURGH -- Evoqua Water Technologies (NYSE:AQUA), an industry leader in mission-critical water treatment solutions, today reported results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2020. 

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $322.2 million, compared to $346.1 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 6.9%, or $23.9 million. The decline in revenue as compared to the prior year period reflects the divestiture of the Memcor product line, which resulted in a decrease to revenue of 4.1%, or $14.1 million, net of contributions from acquisitions.  Organic revenue decreased 3.5%, or $12.0 million, mostly related to the pandemic’s impact on volume in the quarter, as well as the timing of completion of certain large projects in the prior year.  The decline in revenue was partially offset by a favorable change in foreign currency translation of $2.2 million.  Net income for the quarter was $6.5 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.05, as compared to net income of $53.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.44 in the prior year period.  The prior year period net income included the gain from the sale of the Memcor product line, which resulted in a net pre-tax benefit of $49.0 million.  Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $44.8 million as compared to $43.6 million in the prior year period.  See the “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for additional information regarding adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue.

 

“We reported solid first quarter results while navigating varying demand trends across our end markets amid ongoing COVID-19 challenges. Our organization is focused on engaging with our customers and delivering solutions and technologies that address increasingly complex water treatment problems. Organic orders grew, our pipeline remains solid, and our book to bill ratio remains above 1.0.” said Mr. Ron Keating, Evoqua’s CEO.

 

Mr. Keating continued, “We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our team members, maintaining customer continuity and service excellence, and improving our balance sheet flexibility. Our team has responded well and our first quarter financial results were largely as expected.  We note strength in adjusted EBITDA growth and margin as well as solid free cash flow. Our strong order book will continue to drive investments in organic growth opportunities and technology expansion.”

 

Mr. Keating stated, “We expect continued uneven market demand due to COVID-19 with visibility across the full year remaining somewhat limited. Our focus will remain on delivering organic growth through outsourced water solutions, wastewater recycle/reuse, Water One® digitally enabled systems and selling our broad portfolio of component technologies. We expect M&A to supplement our organic growth strategy, and we welcome the employees of Ultrapure & Industrial Services, our latest acquisition, to the Evoqua family. Our sustainability initiatives are gaining traction, and we are providing solutions to help our customers meet their sustainable objectives. We look forward to publishing our 2020 Sustainability Report this Spring.”

First Quarter Segment Results

Evoqua has two reportable operating segments - Integrated Solutions and Services and Applied Product Technologies. The results of our segments for the first quarter are as follows:

Integrated Solutions and Services

Segment revenues decreased $13.4 million, or 5.9%, to $214.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period. 

• Service revenues decreased $6.9 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by temporary delays in annual maintenance in the oil and gas refining end market, the timing of completion of certain large projects in the prior year and shutdowns and delays due to COVID-19. Price realization related to established service contracts and service growth in the healthcare and pharmaceuticals end markets partially offset these declines.
• Capital revenues declined $4.0 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to the timing of projects in the microelectronics end market, which was partially offset by new projects across a variety of end markets.
• The remaining decrease was due to a reduction in aftermarket revenue of $2.5 million.

Operating profit decreased by $6.8 million, or 20.5%, to $26.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.

• Segment profitability decreased by $7.3 million as compared to the prior year period driven by lower volume and mix, lower productivity due to customer shutdowns and enhanced safety protocols as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased operating costs based on changes in allocation methodologies for corporate expenses. These declines were partially offset by additional price realization in the current period.
• Positive drivers to profitability were associated with a decrease in travel and discretionary spending of $1.7 million.
• Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million compared to the prior year period as the segment continues to invest in revenue generating assets.

Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.6 million, or 11.5%, to $43.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.  The decline in segment adjusted EBITDA resulted from the same factors that impacted operating profit, other than the change in depreciation and amortization.

 

Applied Product Technologies

Segment revenues decreased by $10.5 million, or 8.9%, to $107.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.

• The divestiture of the Memcor product line resulted in a reduction in revenue of $14.4 million as compared to the prior year period.
• Revenues increased $6.0 million in the Asia Pacific region as compared to the prior year period. This volume increase was partially offset by revenue declines across multiple product lines in both the Americas and EMEA regions by $0.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year period, mainly due to continued customer site access challenges and delays primarily impacting the Municipal Drinking Water and Aquatics end markets. 

 

• Foreign currency translation resulted in a favorable revenue impact of $2.2 million as compared to the prior year period.

Operating profit decreased $49.7 million to $13.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.

• The decline in segment profitability was primarily related to the net pre-tax benefit on sale of the Memcor product line of $49.0 million in the prior year period. Operating profit was also impacted by a $1.2 million decrease related to the reduction in revenue volume as a result of the divestiture.
• Organic volume as well as improvement in operational efficiencies and cost containment measures, partially offset by the impact of variances in product mix, contributed a net $4.7 million in profitability as compared to the prior year period, while inflation and employee related costs reduced operating profit by $0.9 million.
• Operating profit was benefited $0.5 million by foreign currency translation as compared to the prior year period.
• Further net operating profit decrease of $3.8 million was attributable to higher restructuring costs and changes in other non-recurring activity as compared to the prior year period.

 

Segment adjusted EBITDA increased $3.2 million to $19.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $15.8 million in the same period of the prior year.  The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors that impacted segment operating profit, other than the change in depreciation and amortization, and also excludes restructuring and other non-recurring activity recognized in the period.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

 

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “organic revenue” in evaluating our past performance and future prospects. EBITDA 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, purchase accounting adjustment costs, non-cash share-based compensation, transaction costs and other gains, losses and expenses.

 

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 companies in 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 regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. 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 EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA of each reportable operating segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.  EBITDA and 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 certain integration costs) and share-based compensation charges.

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, adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

Organic revenue is another metric used by management to evaluate the performance of our business.  Organic revenue is defined as revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange and inorganic revenue. Inorganic revenue is defined as revenues from acquisitions and divestitures. We present organic revenue as we believe it is helpful to management and investors in highlighting trends in our revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation.

The following is a reconciliation of our Net income to Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):

	Three Months Ended December 31,

Net income	$	6.5			$	53.5			(87.9)	%

Interest expense	8.7				13.6				(36.0)	%
Operating profit	16.3				69.7				(76.6)	%
Depreciation and amortization	27.4				25.1				9.2	%

Other (gains) losses and expenses (d)	(4.4)				(56.8)				(92.3)	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	44.8			$	43.6			2.8	%

 

• 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:

• Certain costs and expenses in connection with various restructuring initiatives, including severance costs, relocation costs, recruiting expenses, and third-party consultant costs to assist with these initiatives. This includes:
• amounts related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives to reduce the cost structure and rationalize location footprint following the sale of the Memcor product line;
• amounts related to the Company’s transition from a three-segment structure to a two-segment operating model designed to better serve the needs of customers worldwide; and
• amounts related to various other initiatives implemented to restructure and reorganize our business with the appropriate management team and cost structure.

(In millions)	2020				2019
G&A expense	$	0.4			$	—
Total	$	0.4			$	—

• Share-based compensation

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering non-cash share-based compensation expenses related to equity awards. See Note 17, “Share-Based Compensation,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements to be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2020 for further detail.

• Transaction related 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.  Such costs may include, without limitation, consulting and legal costs associated with due diligence and closing a transaction, restructuring and integration costs such as severance, facility consolidation costs, product rationalization or inventory obsolescence charges, system integration or conversion costs, fair value changes associated with contingent consideration, and costs associated with any litigation matters that arise subsequent to our acquisition of a business for which the matter in question preceded the transaction, but was not known, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition.  We believe that viewing earnings prior to considering these charges provides investors with useful additional perspective because the significant costs incurred in connection with business combinations result primarily from the need to eliminate duplicate assets, activities or employees - a natural result of acquiring or disposing a fully integrated set of activities.  Integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years. This includes:

Cost of sales	$	0.1			$	0.1
G&A expense	0.5				0.4
Other operating (income) expense	—				(0.3)
Total	$	0.6			$	0.2

• Other (gains), losses and expenses

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain other significant (gains), losses and expenses.  Such significant items represent substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis.  Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of their nature and they may be highly variable and difficult to predict.  Unusual items may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business, items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis, items that would be non-recurring, or items related to products we no longer sell.  While not all-inclusive, examples of items that could be included as other (gains), losses and expenses would be amounts related to non-cash foreign currency exchange gains and losses on intercompany loans, significant warranty events, and certain disposals of businesses, products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations under GAAP.  For the periods presented such events include the following:

• impact of foreign exchange gains and losses;
• foreign exchange impact related to headquarter allocations;
