Tennant Company (“Tennant”) (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, today reported fourth-quarter and full year 2018 results.
2018 Full-Year Highlights
For
the 2018 full year, net sales climbed 12.0 percent to $1.12 billion, or
5.5 percent on an organic basis, reflecting organic growth in all three
regions across the globe. Adjusted EBITDA rose 18.9 percent to $120.8
million, or 10.8 percent of sales, compared to $101.6 million, or 10.1
percent of sales, last year. During the year, cash flow from operations
improved by 47.6 percent to $80.0 million and the company paid down
$38.3 million of our outstanding debt.
“Our full-year 2018 results illustrate strong top-line growth, disciplined expense management, and improved financial strength driving shareholder returns. For the full-year, Tennant achieved organic growth across all geographic regions and continued our trend of six consecutive quarters of achieving top-line organic growth. We also continued to make progress across several initiatives such as improved field-service utilization, strong expense management, cash flow improvement and ongoing debt reduction, all while continuing to invest for growth and successfully integrating the IPC business. While we clearly continue to be affected by headwinds in the form of tariffs, raw material price inflation, higher freight costs and a tight labor market, our ability to execute on our core strategies to diversify revenue streams, drive organizational efficiencies and improve our financial strength is creating a stronger Tennant. I believe the company is well-positioned for long-term, profitable growth,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant Company's president and chief executive officer.
Fourth-Quarter Operating Review
In
the fourth-quarter 2018, Tennant’s consolidated net sales of $285.2
million grew approximately 2.1 percent over the same period last year.
This includes a 2.0 percent reduction from foreign currency. On an
organic basis, sales rose 4.3 percent.
Sales in the Americas region improved 4.2 percent, or 5.7 percent organically, reflecting strength in both the North America and Latin America regions. North America posted another positive organic growth quarter of 4.8 percent driven by continued strength in strategic accounts and distribution channels, along with continued growth in service and parts and consumables businesses. Sales in the Americas region also reflect 14.0 percent organic growth in the Latin American region reflecting broad-based strength in the region with particular strength in Mexico.
Sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region were up 1.0 percent, or 4.3 percent organically, reflecting strength in all channels and particular strength in Germany and France. Sales in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region declined 6.8 percent, or 3.4 percent organically, primarily reflecting a challenging year-over-year sales comparison.
Gross margin in the 2018 fourth quarter was 39.3 percent, compared to 40.8 percent in last year’s fourth quarter. The prior-year gross margin rate included a $1.2 million acquisition-related net adjustment. Excluding the net adjustment, the prior year gross margin rate was 40.3 percent. Historical gross margins have also been adjusted due to a reclassification of certain expenses impacting gross margin and selling and administrative expenses. There was no impact on operating profit or adjusted EBITDA. The impact of the reclassification in the fourth-quarter 2017 had the effect of reducing the gross margin rate by approximately 60 basis points and reducing the selling and administrative as a percent of sales by approximately 60 basis points. The numbers throughout this release and Supplemental Non-GAAP financial tables reflect the restated figures. Gross margin performance continues to primarily reflect higher levels of strategic accounts sales, higher freight costs, raw material price inflation and the continuing impact from tariffs. (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.)
Tennant’s 2018 fourth-quarter net earnings were $7.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share, in the 2017 fourth quarter. Excluding the non-operational items, the 2018 fourth-quarter net earnings were $10.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the 2017 fourth quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the 2018 fourth quarter were $30.3 million, or 10.6 percent of sales, compared to $30.9 million, or 11.1 percent of sales, in the 2017 fourth quarter. (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.)
During the 2018 fourth quarter, Tennant generated $36.5 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of 65 percent compared to net cash flow from operations of $22.1 million in the 2017 fourth quarter. The company also reduced outstanding debt by $8.0 million and paid $4.0 million in cash dividends to shareholders during the fourth quarter.
2019 Business Outlook
Killingstad
concluded, “As we move into 2019, we remain focused on sustaining our
growth momentum, improving our profitability, continuing our investment
in innovation and managing a capital allocation strategy that balances
effective investment in our business with cash returns for our
shareholders.”
For 2019, Tennant provides the following guidance:
- Net sales of $1.15 billion to $1.17 billion, reflecting organic sales growth of 2 to 3 percent;
- Full-year reported GAAP earnings in the range of $2.05 to $2.25 per diluted share;
- Adjusted EPS of $2.30 to $2.50 per diluted share;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $129 million to $133 million;
- Capital expenditures in the range of $40 million to $45 million; and
- An effective tax rate of approximately 20 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This
news release and the related conference call include presentation of
non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items. Management
believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to
investors regarding the company’s results of operations and financial
condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and
understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the
current, past or future periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures
to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain
an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the company.
We believe that disclosing Gross Profit – as adjusted, Gross Margin – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted, Profit from Operations – as adjusted, Operating Margin – as adjusted, Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted, Income Tax Expense – as adjusted, Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted and Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), excluding the impacts from restructuring charge, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, certain tax related benefits/charges, and debt financing costs write-off, are useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use these as one measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We calculate Gross Profit – as adjusted, Gross Margin – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted, Profit from Operations – as adjusted, Operating Margin – as adjusted, and Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the restructuring charge, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, and pension curtailment gain/loss. We calculate Income Tax Expense – as adjusted by adding back the tax effect of the restructuring charge, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, certain tax-related benefits/charges, and debt financing costs write-off. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the restructuring charge, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, certain tax-related benefits/charges, and debt financing costs write-off. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the restructuring charge, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, certain tax-related benefits/charges, and debt financing costs write-off and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
We believe that disclosing Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and EBITDA Margin, excluding the impact from restructuring charge, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, and debt financing costs write-off (EBITDA – as adjusted) and EBITDA Margin – as adjusted, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use these measures to monitor and evaluate operating performance. EBITDA – as adjusted and EBITDA Margin – as adjusted are financial measures that do not reflect GAAP. We calculate EBITDA – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the restructuring charge, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, building design costs, gain on the sale of a business, pension curtailment gain/loss, and debt financing costs write-off, Interest Income, Interest Expense, Income Tax Expense, Depreciation Expense and Amortization Expense to Net Earnings (Loss) – as reported. We calculate EBITDA Margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by Net Sales.
Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or better than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the components of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table to this earnings release.
