BATAVIA, NY, February 6, 2023 – Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM) (“GHM” or the “Company”), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy and process industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 (“third quarter fiscal 2023”).

Daniel J. Thoren, President and CEO, commented, “Our third quarter results reflect solid execution and demonstrate continual steady progress as we increase our sales and improve profitability. We have built a strong backlog of defense business, as we strengthen our position in commercial aftermarket and increase our presence in the growing space industry. We believe we are also now better prepared to take advantage of a rebound in demand from our commercial refining and petrochemical markets. Importantly, our operations are finding a rhythm to deliver to plan while we expand in areas where we expect more growth.”

He added, “While orders in the quarter of $20 million were soft, we believe it is primarily due to timing and a reflection of the general ebb and flow of large projects being released. The trailing twelve-month orders of $175.5 million and 114% book-to-bill ratio are a better representation of our growth and future potential. This is especially true given the large value of repeat orders we have received for critical U.S. Navy projects which we believe validates our position as a key supplier for the defense industry.”

Graham Corporation believes that adjusted EBITDA (defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other acquisition related expenses (income), and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses), and adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales), which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. Moreover, GHM’s credit facility also contains ratios based on adjusted EBITDA as defined in the lending agreement. GHM also believes that adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, which excludes intangible amortization, other costs related to the acquisition, and other unusual/nonrecurring (income) expenses, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company. See the attached tables and other information on pages 10 and 11 for important disclosures regarding GHM’s use of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as well as the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

SALES (see supplemental financial information for detail of sales by industry and region)

 

   

Overall year-over-year growth in the quarter of $11.1 million represents a 39% increase over the prior-year period. Revenue in last year’s third quarter was impacted by challenges with execution on first article U.S. Navy projects.

 

   

Defense revenue grew $5.1 million reflecting achievement of project milestones, as well as improved execution on large contracts.

 

   

Refining revenue was up $2.5 million driven by higher aftermarket sales as the Company proactively works to drive demand.

 

   

Space revenue grew $2.1 million from increased demand.

PROFITS AND MARGINS

 

   

Gross profit and margin improved significantly over the prior-year period which had been impacted by higher-than-expected costs related to execution challenges with first article U.S. Navy projects and related labor and material cost overruns in GHM’s heat transfer business. Year-over-year profit and margin expansion was the result of an improved mix of sales related to higher margin projects, as well as better execution and pricing on defense contracts. Sequentially, gross profit improved 18% on a 5% increase in revenue as a result of continued improvement in execution, mix, and better overhead absorption with higher volume. Margin continues to reflect lower margin orders received several years ago from the U.S. Navy that are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

 

   

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense, excluding intangible amortization, was $5.3 million, up 12% or approximately $555,000. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales improved to 13.3% compared with 16.4% in the comparable period in fiscal 2022.

NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

 

   

Net Income was $368 thousand in the quarter, or $0.03 per diluted share.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million in the quarter grew $4.8 million versus the loss in the prior-year period. The improvement was driven by increased sales, improved execution, and strong cost discipline. The Company is strategically focused on expanding its EBITDA margins with a 2027 goal of 10% to 15%.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET

 

   

Capital expenditures were $1.2 million in the quarter and $2.4 million for the nine-month period. The Company continues to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $3 million to $4 million for fiscal 2023.

 

   

Cash flow from operations during the fiscal 2023 third quarter were $9.3 million and reflects $8.0 million of customer deposits for materials required for defense contracts.

 

   

Total debt at the end of the quarter was $14.2 million, down from $18.4 million at March 31, 2022 and $19.1 million at September 30, 2022.

Christopher J. Thome, Vice President-Finance and CFO, noted, “We are focused on generating cash to reduce debt and invest in organic growth opportunities. In fact, we further strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced our financial flexibility in the quarter with a $5 million reduction in debt.”

Orders for the fiscal 2023 third quarter were down $48.0 million, or 71%, to $20.0 million primarily as a result of timing related to large value contracts. For the nine-month period, orders were $151.9 million and the book-to-bill ratio was 133%.

 

   

Defense industry orders of $7.8 million were down due to variability in timing of large contracts. Defense backlog was $234.5 million at the end of the third quarter and is expected to ship over the next three to four years.

 

   

While total refining orders of $3.8 million declined $4.6 million year-over-year, commercial aftermarket demand was up 6%. The Company believes commercial aftermarket demand is a leading indicator of demand and potential future capital market investments by its customers.

 

   

Space orders of $1.6 million declined $1.3 million year-over-year as a result of variability in timing of project orders.

Backlog of $293.7 million increased 8% compared with the prior-year period. Approximately 40% to 50% of this backlog is expected to convert to sales over the next twelve months and another 20% to 30% is expected to convert in the following twelve months. The remaining backlog is expected to convert beyond the next two years and is for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy.

Backlog by industry on December 31, 2022, was as follows:

 

   

80% for defense projects

 

   

9% for refinery projects

 

   

4% for chemical/petrochemical projects

 

   

4% for space projects

 

   

3% for other industrial applications

obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

Forward looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2023 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end, and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial estimates set forth above may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other acquisition related expenses, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham Corporation believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, is important for investors and other readers of GHM’s financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham’s management to better understand operating performance. Moreover, GHM’s credit facility also contains ratios based on EBITDA. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are defined as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, GHM believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current fiscal year’s net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to the historical periods’ net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share. GHM also believes that adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which adds back intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company.
