ESCO Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results
- Q1 GAAP EPS $0.44 and Adjusted EPS $0.46 - $224 Million in Q1 Orders - Book-to-bill of 1.27x - $177M in Sales - 8.8% increase over Q1 2021 -
St. Louis, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) (ESCO, or the Company) today reported its operating results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2021 (Q1 2022) compared to the first quarter ended December 31, 2020 (Q1 2021).
Vic Richey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continue to see business conditions stabilize as we delivered solid sales growth and strong entered orders in the quarter. Our teams worked diligently during the quarter to address ongoing labor and material availability challenges and I want to thank all of our employees for their efforts to effectively respond to these disruptions and support our customers. We estimate these labor and supply chain constraints impacted our sales in the first quarter by $5 to $8 million. We view these as timing issues that we will manage during the course of the year, and we are very encouraged by the continuing order strength across all three of our business segments. Our solid orders growth and record ending backlog give us confidence that we are on track to deliver our stated revenue and earnings goals for the year.
“The integration of our recent acquisitions has gotten off to a good start. As previously announced, Altanova and Phenix were acquired during our fiscal 2021 fourth quarter, and are now part of our USG segment. We continue to make good progress on aligning our product and channel strategies around the world to drive growth in the global utility markets. In Q1 we also announced that the A&D group had acquired NEco. This company will fit in nicely within ESCO’s PTI subsidiary and bring complementary product technologies as well as strong customer relationships. We are very pleased to welcome these three companies and their teams to ESCO and we are confident of the value they can bring to our company over time.”

During Q1 2022, the Company incurred $0.6 million ($0.02 per share) of after-tax charges associated with the Altanova and NEco acquisition inventory step-up charges and acquisition related costs at Corporate. These costs are excluded from the calculation of Q1 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
During Q1 2021, the Company incurred $0.8 million ($0.03 per share) of after-tax charges associated with the Doble Manta facility consolidation ($0.02 per share) and ATM acquisition inventory step-up ($0.01 per share). These costs are excluded from the calculation of Q1 2021 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
Operating Highlights
- Q1 2022 Sales of $177.0 million increased $14.3 million (8.8 percent) compared to Q1 2021. Sales increased $15.4 million related to recent acquisitions (9.5 percent) and decreased $1.1 million (0.6 percent) organically during the quarter. Organic sales growth of $2.7 million in A&D and $1.8 million in Test was offset by a decrease of $5.6 million in USG, of which approximately $3 million related to shipment delays caused by supply chain issues.
- Gross margin remained consistent at 38.8 percent in both Q1 2022 and Q1 2021, despite the negative impact of wage and material cost inflation in the first quarter of 2022.
- SG&A expenses increased $5.6 million in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. This increase was primarily due to the SG&A contribution from recent acquisitions and wage inflation.
- Interest expense increased $0.2 million in Q1 2022 compared to the prior year period related to higher debt outstanding.
- The Q1 2022 effective income tax rate was 22.3 percent versus 22.5 percent in the prior year period.
- Q1 2022 Entered Orders increased $66 million (42 percent) over the prior year period to $224 million (book-to-bill of 1.27x). Ending backlog increased $47 million (8 percent) in the quarter, with significant order strength across all three business segments.
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $2 million in Q1 2022, a decrease of $23 million from the prior year period mainly due to changes in contract assets and liabilities related to revenue recognized for performance completed and the decrease in milestone payments received in the current quarter. Cash flow was also negatively impacted by a decrease in accrued expenses due to timing of payments in the quarter.
- Net debt (total borrowings less cash on hand) was $142 million with a 1.34x leverage ratio and $541 million in liquidity at December 31, 2021.
Segment Performance
Aerospace & Defense (A&D)
- Sales increased $3.6 million (5 percent) to $70.2 million in Q1 2022 from $66.6 million in Q1 2021, due to strong growth in commercial and military aerospace, partially offset by $2 to $5 million of shipment delays due to supply chain and labor availability issues. The NEco acquisition added $0.9 million to the sales growth.
- EBIT increased $1.7 million in Q1 2022 to $10.0 million, with a 14.2 percent EBIT margin. Adjusted EBIT increased $1.6 million in Q1 2022 to $10.2 million from $8.6 million in Q1 2021, with a 14.4 percent Adjusted EBIT margin in Q1 2022 compared to 12.9 percent in prior year Q1. The profit improvement was driven by price increases and leverage on higher aerospace revenue, partially offset by inflation and lower industrial sales.
- Entered Orders were $90 million in Q1 2022 (book-to-bill of 1.28x) compared to $65 million in Q1 2021. It was the third consecutive quarter of solid order growth in aerospace. The order strength was driven in the commercial market by the 737 production ramp up and A350 orders, and in the defense market by F-35 and V22 Osprey orders. Overall, A&D orders increased 38 percent in the quarter compared to the prior year and resulted in a $20 million increase in ending backlog to $387 million.
Utility Solutions Group (USG)
- Sales increased $9.0 million (17 percent) to $63.5 million in Q1 2022 from $54.5 million in Q1 2021. Sales increased $14.5 million related to the contribution from the Altanova and Phenix acquisitions. USG organic sales decreased by $5.6 million due to lower sales at Doble, of which approximately $3 million was the result of the previously stated shipment delays related to component shortages. In addition, Q1 2021 sales benefitted from strong year-end buying from our core utility customers that was not repeated in Q1 2022. NRG’s revenue increased 21 percent as the renewables markets continue to have high levels of activity.
- EBIT increased $0.7 million in Q1 2022 to $13.4 million from $12.7 million in Q1 2021. Adjusted EBIT increased $0.4 million in Q1 2022 to $13.8 million from $13.4 million in Q1 2021, with a 21.8 percent Adjusted EBIT margin in Q1 2022 versus 24.5 percent in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBIT was primarily due to the sales contribution from Phenix and Altanova, price increases, and leverage on higher renewables revenue, partially offset by wage and material cost inflation and lower organic sales at Doble.
- Entered Orders were $66 million in Q1 2022 (book-to-bill of 1.04). The $18 million (36 percent) increase in Q1 2022 orders resulted in ending backlog of $94 million. The orders growth was driven by $14 million in Phenix and Altanova orders, a $3 million increase in renewables and a $1 million increase in core Doble products and services.
Test
- Sales increased $1.8 million (4 percent) to $43.3 million in Q1 2022 from $41.5 million in Q1 2021, due to price increases and revenue growth related to Test and Measurement projects in China and power filters in the U.S.
- EBIT decreased $1.3 million in Q1 2022 to $4.0 million from $5.3 million in Q1 2021, with a 9.2 percent EBIT margin. Increased profit related to volume and price increases was more than offset by material cost increases and wage inflation.
- Entered Orders were $68 million in Q1 2022 (book-to-bill of 1.57x) compared to $43 million in Q1 2021. The order growth was driven by test and measurement and power filter orders domestically and large projects in Europe. The $25 million (56 percent) increase in Q1 2022 orders resulted in an ending backlog of $158 million.
Summary Commentary
In Q1 2022, entered orders were up $66 million (42 percent) over the prior year to $224 million, due to the initial impact of our recent acquisitions, and growth in our commercial and defense aerospace, renewables and Test end-markets.
In USG, orders and revenue growth were driven by renewables and recent acquisitions as the overall electric utility market continues to be impacted by reduced domestic electricity consumption related to the pandemic, which in turn impacts utility spending on investments in grid maintenance and testing. We remain confident in the long-term growth potential of the global utility market. The drive for de-carbonization, digitization of grid assets, and more resilient power systems will require significant investments in the future. Our USG segment is well positioned to serve the global utility market with products and solutions that range from supporting renewable energy generation, to maintaining and protecting transmission and distribution assets.
Q1 2022 sales increased 8.8 percent over the prior year, on the strength of recent acquisitions, and solid organic growth in our aerospace, renewables, and Test end-markets, partially offset by lower core Doble sales. Q1 Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 16.1 percent from 17.3 percent in the prior year, primarily driven by wage and material cost inflation partially offset by price increases and leverage from revenue growth.
Vic Richey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite ongoing headwinds in the quarter, our orders and revenue strength, and solid leadership position in the niche end-markets that we serve gives us confidence that we are well positioned to deliver profitable long-term growth and shareholder value as our end-markets continue to recover.”
Dividend Payment
The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid on April 19, 2022 to stockholders of record on April 4, 2022.
Share Repurchase Program
As previously announced in our August 9, 2021 press release, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program. During Q1 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 116,000 shares for $10 million.
Business Outlook – 2022
Management’s expectations for 2022 remain consistent with the details outlined in our November 18, 2021 release. Our 2022 guidance represents meaningful growth in sales, Adjusted EBIT, and Adjusted EBITDA across each of the Company’s business segments.
As mentioned previously, our Q1 2022 revenue was negatively impacted by labor and material availability issues in certain parts of our business. These are viewed as timing issues that we expect to address during the year, and we are maintaining our outlook for 2022 of adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.10 to $3.20. This EPS outlook is predicated on sales in the range of $815 to $835 million (an increase of 14 to 17 percent). Despite the short-term challenges, we expect modest EPS growth in Q2. We are working to increase capacity in certain parts of the business and to manage supply chain challenges. As these areas continue to improve, we expect the second half sales and profitability to ramp up significantly.

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 above in Discrete Items, and “Adjusted EPS” as GAAP earnings per share (EPS) excluding the net impact of the items described above in Discrete Items and reconciled in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which were ($0.02) per share in Q1 2022.
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.
