ESCO Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

St. Louis, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) (ESCO, or the Company) today reported its operating results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2024 (Q3 2024).

Operating Highlights

  • Q3 2024 Sales increased $12.1 million (5 percent) to $260.8 million compared to $248.7 million in Q3 2023. Q3 organic sales increased $8.7 million (4 percent) and the MPE acquisition contributed $3.4 million (1 percent) of revenue in the quarter.   
  • Q3 2024 GAAP EPS increased 5 percent to $1.13 per share compared to $1.08 per share in Q3 2023. Q3 2024 Adjusted EPS increased 6 percent to $1.16 per share compared to $1.09 per share in Q3 2023.
  • Q3 2024 Entered Orders increased $98.4 million (46 percent) compared to the prior year period to $311.7 million (book-to-bill of 1.20x), resulting in record ending backlog of $889 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $55 million YTD, an increase of $26 million compared to the prior year period.
  • Net debt (total borrowings less cash on hand) was $110 million, resulting in a 0.73x leverage ratio and $571 million in liquidity as of June 30, 2024.

Bryan Sayler, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Q3 was highlighted by over $300 million in orders, with strength across all three segments. The increase was driven by large Navy orders, continuing strength in aerospace and electric utility orders, and importantly a rebound in both Test and renewables orders. Revenue grew 5 percent in the quarter and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points, driving a 6 percent increase in Adjusted EPS compared to the prior year quarter. Overall, it was a solid quarter as we continue to see favorable momentum across our aerospace, Navy and utility end markets.”

Segment Performance

Aerospace & Defense (A&D)

  • Sales increased $11.0 million (10.6 percent) to $114.5 million in Q3 2024 from $103.5 million in Q3 2023.   Sales growth was driven by strength across Navy, commercial aerospace, and defense aerospace programs.
  • Q3 2024 EBIT decreased $0.3 million to $21.4 million from $21.7 million in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBIT decreased $0.2 million in Q3 2024 to $21.5 million (18.7 percent margin) from $21.7 million (20.9 percent margin) in Q3 2023. Profitability in the quarter was negatively impacted by margin erosion on space development programs at VACCO. Additionally, unfavorable revenue mix and inflationary pressures were offset by leverage on higher volume and price increases.  
  • Entered Orders increased $65 million (79 percent) to $147 million in Q3 2024 compared to $82 million in Q3 2023.   The increase was primarily driven by strength in Navy (Virginia Class Block V QARMS and Ejection System development), and a strong quarter for commercial and defense aerospace aftermarket orders. The orders in the quarter resulted in a segment book-to-bill of 1.28x and record ending backlog of $595 million.

Utility Solutions Group (USG)

  • Sales increased $0.3 million (0.3 percent) to $90.3 million in Q3 2024 from $90.0 million in Q3 2023. As expected, USG revenue growth moderated in Q3 after 13 percent growth in the first half of the year. Revenue grew sequentially and is up 8 percent Q3 YTD, which remains in line with our expectations for the year. Doble’s Q3 2024 sales increased by $0.4 million (0.5 percent), driven by higher services revenue offset by lower protection testing sales. NRG sales were flat compared to strong results in the prior year period.  
  • EBIT increased $1.8 million (9 percent) in Q3 2024 to $22.2 million from $20.4 million in Q3 2023.   Adjusted EBIT increased $1.7 million in Q3 2024 to $22.2 million (24.6 percent margin) from $20.5 million (22.8 percent margin) in Q3 2023. Margin improvement was driven by mix related to increased services revenue and price increases, partially offset by inflationary pressures.  
  • Entered Orders increased $15 million (17 percent) to $100 million in Q3 2024. Doble orders increased $19 million (30 percent) on continuing strength in services and our lease pool business as utilities focus on keeping substations operational while coping with long lead times on new transformers. NRG’S orders were $19 million in the quarter. While down $4 million compared to the record prior year quarter, this represents the second highest orders quarter in NRG history and was in line with our expectations for a rebound in renewables orders as the market moves beyond last year’s elevated activity related to the initial Inflation Reduction Act spending.   The segment book-to-bill was 1.11x in the quarter, resulting in ending backlog of $129 million.

RF Test & Measurement (Test)

  • Sales increased $0.8 million (1.3 percent) to $56.1 million in Q3 2024 from $55.3 million in Q3 2023. Organic sales decreased $2.6 million primarily related to lower wireless and US filters volume. This was more than offset by $3.4 million of revenue related to the MPE acquisition which was completed in Q1 2024.   While Test’s revenues continue to be somewhat soft, they delivered significant sequential revenue growth of 19 percent in the quarter.
  • EBIT and Adjusted EBIT both increased $0.7 million in Q3 2024 to $9.3 million (16.6 percent margin) from $8.6 million (15.6 percent margin) in Q3 2023. Margin improvement was driven by higher margin MPE content, cost reduction actions and price increases, partially offset by inflationary pressures and mix related to lower wireless and US filters volume.  
  • Entered Orders increased $19 million (41 percent) to $65 million in Q3 2024. The rebound in Test orders was primarily driven by the booking of a large industrial project and a strong quarter for US T&M orders. The segment book-to-bill was 1.16x in the quarter, resulting in ending backlog of $165 million.

SM&P Acquisition
As announced on July 8, 2024, ESCO has agreed to acquire the Signature Management & Power (SM&P) business of Ultra Maritime for a purchase price of $550 million. The required filings have been submitted and we are awaiting regulatory approval, with an anticipation of a Q1 fiscal 2025 closing.   SM&P’s sole source product offerings will add significant scale to the ESCO Navy business, providing increased content on domestic Navy submarine and surface ship programs and expansion into vital UK and AUKUS navy platforms.

Business Outlook – 2024
Management’s expectation is for Q4 Adjusted EPS in the range of $1.38 to $1.48 (10 to 18 percent growth). This results in full year guidance in the range of $4.10 to $4.20 (11 to 14 percent growth), which represents ESCO’s third consecutive year of double-digit earnings growth. This outlook is based on sales in the range of $1.02 to $1.03 billion (7 to 8 percent annual growth) and excludes further profitability erosion on Space programs at VACCO, which could range from $5 to $7 million ($0.15 - $0.21) in Q4 2024.

VACCO Space Business Strategic Review
The Company is undertaking a process to review strategic alternatives for the Space business at VACCO. These alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships, or a sale of the business. The intent is to optimize ESCO’s portfolio of businesses and create value for ESCO shareholders. This decision was made as part of our continual strategic portfolio analysis, which is focused on positioning the Company to serve high-growth markets that have high margin potential. As we undertake this review, the Company remains committed to executing on our current Space programs and serving the needs of our customers.

There is no deadline or definitive timetable for completion of the strategic alternatives review process and there can be no assurance that this process will result in the Company pursuing a transaction or any other strategic outcome. ESCO does not intend to make any further public comment regarding the review of strategic alternatives for the Space business at VACCO until it has been completed or the Company determines that a disclosure is required or otherwise deemed appropriate.

Share Repurchase Program
During Q3 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 8,000 shares for $0.8 million.

Dividend Payment
The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid on October 16, 2024 to stockholders of record on October 2, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release regarding Management’s intentions, expectations and guidance for fiscal 2024, including restructuring and cost reduction actions, sales, orders, revenues, margin, earnings, Adjusted EPS, and any other statements which are not strictly historical, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

Investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and speak only as of the date of this release, and the Company undertakes no duty to update them except as may be required by applicable laws or regulations. The Company’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment including but not limited to those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and the following: the timing and outcome, if any, of the Company’s strategic alternatives review for the Space business at VACCO; the impacts of climate change and related regulation of greenhouse gases; the impacts of labor disputes, civil disorder, wars, elections, political changes, tariffs and trade disputes, terrorist activities, cyberattacks or natural disasters on the Company’s operations and those of the Company’s customers and suppliers; disruptions in manufacturing or delivery arrangements due to shortages or unavailability of materials or components or supply chain disruptions; inability to access work sites; the timing and content of future contract awards or customer orders; the timely appropriation, allocation and availability of Government funds; the termination for convenience of Government and other customer contracts or orders; weakening of economic conditions in served markets; the success of the Company’s competitors; changes in customer demands or customer insolvencies; competition; intellectual property rights; technical difficulties or data breaches; the availability of acquisitions; delivery delays or defaults by customers; performance issues with key customers, suppliers and subcontractors; material changes in the costs and availability of certain raw materials; material changes in the cost of credit; changes in laws and regulations including but not limited to changes in accounting standards and taxation; changes in interest, inflation and employment rates; costs relating to environmental matters arising from current or former facilities; uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of current disputes, claims, litigation or arbitration; and the integration and performance of acquired businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial measures EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS are presented in this press release. The Company defines “EBIT” as earnings before interest and taxes, “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, “Adjusted EBIT” and “Adjusted EBITDA” as excluding the net impact of the items described in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and “Adjusted EPS” as GAAP earnings per share excluding the net impact of the items described and reconciled in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS are not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Management believes EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in assessing the operational profitability of the Company’s business segments because they exclude interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, which are generally accounted for across the entire Company on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by Management in determining resource allocations within the Company as well as incentive compensation. The presentation of EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS provides important supplemental information to investors by facilitating comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. The use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to replace any measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.
