Regal Beloit Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Strong Growth in Income from Operations Despite COVID-Driven Net Sales Decline
Operating Margin Expands Over 200 Basis Points Versus Prior Year
Generated $111.0 Million of Free Cash Flow, Conversion at 171% of Adjusted Net Income
Re-introducing Guidance for Fourth Quarter

BELOIT, WI - Regal Beloit Corporation (NYSE: RBC), a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of high-efficiency electric motors and power transmission products, reported third quarter 2020 diluted earnings per share of $1.60 compared to $1.19 a year ago. Third quarter 2020 adjusted diluted earnings per share* were $1.73 compared to $1.35 a year ago.

Key financial results for the third quarter 2020 included:
Total net sales of $758.2 million decreased 1.8% from the prior year. Excluding the negative impacts of 0.2% from foreign currency and 0.1% from businesses to be divested/exited, sales declined 1.5% on an organic basis.
Income from operations was $90.0 million or 11.9% of net sales. Adjusted income from operations rose $15.7 million or 19.3% from a year ago, to $97.0 million, on a net sales decline of 1.8%. Adjusted operating margin of 12.8% was up 230 basis points versus the prior year’s 10.5%.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $120.3 million and capital expenditures totaled $9.3 million, resulting in free cash flow of $111.0 million, which is 170.8% of adjusted net income.
While no shares were repurchased in the third quarter, the Company has decided to resume its stock repurchase program.

Third quarter 2020 segment results versus the prior year third quarter:

Commercial Systems segment net sales were $218.5 million, an increase of 1.7%. Foreign currency had a positive 0.5% impact. The result was a positive organic sales growth rate of 1.3%, driven by strength in the pool pump market, share gains in the China motors business, and to a lesser extent growth in N.A. large commercial HVAC. Partially offsetting these tailwinds were ongoing, although diminished, COVID-related disruptions in our Mexico manufacturing operations and ongoing proactive account pruning. Operating margin was 11.6%. After net adjustments of $1.0 million, adjusted operating margin was 12.0% of adjusted net sales.

Industrial Systems segment net sales were $138.8 million, a decrease of 3.5%. Foreign currency had a negative 0.6% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 2.9%, driven by COVID-related headwinds across the business, mainly impacting the N.A. general industrial and oil & gas end markets, combined with ongoing proactive account pruning. Partially offsetting these headwinds, the Company realized share gains in its data center business. Operating margin was 4.8%. After net adjustments of $2.7 million, adjusted operating margin was 6.7% of adjusted net sales.

Climate Solutions segment net sales were $234.0 million, an increase of 1.3%. Businesses divested/to be exited had a negative 0.4% impact, and foreign currency had a negative 0.8% impact. The result was a positive organic sales growth rate of 2.5%, driven primarily by strong demand in the N.A. residential HVAC market, partially offset by COVID-related headwinds in the commercial refrigeration market, and in the N.A.

*This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Descriptions of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with this earnings release.



light commercial HVAC market, as well as ongoing proactive account pruning. Notably, orders in the N.A. HVAC business were up 27% in September and are tracking up roughly 22% in October. Operating margin was 16.8%. After net adjustments of $0.9 million, adjusted operating margin was 17.1% of adjusted net sales.

Power Transmission Solutions segment net sales were $166.9 million, a decrease of 8.7%. Foreign currency had a positive 0.2% impact. The result was a negative organic sales growth rate of 8.9% driven by significant COVID-related declines in N.A. general industrial and upstream oil & gas end markets, project lumpiness in alternative energy, and ongoing proactive account pruning. On the positive side, and partially offsetting these headwinds, was strength in the conveying business tied to share gains in the unit material handling market. Operating margin was 11.3%. After net adjustments of $2.4 million, adjusted operating margin was 12.8% of adjusted net sales.

Summarizing Regal’s third quarter 2020 performance, CEO Louis Pinkham commented, “I am very proud of our team for driving significant year-over-year operating profit improvement on down sales. Despite facing ongoing personal and professional challenges related to COVID, our Regal associates continued to execute a range of restructuring actions, and drive 80/20 deeper into our organization, resulting in significant operating income growth, margin expansion, and FCF generation – even as the top line faced COVID-related declines. There is no question that we are transforming the cost structure of Regal and have a path to further material improvements.”

Mr. Pinkham went on to comment, “As I look across our segments, it’s also encouraging to see more bright spots than in recent quarters, with two of our four segments – Climate and Commercial – returning to positive sales growth during the quarter, Industrial close to flat, and PTS significantly narrowing its rate of decline. The order story is also brighter, with growth rates turning positive in the quarter, and a recovery in the key N.A. general industrial market in PTS still to come. Notably, our N.A. residential HVAC business saw its orders rise almost 30% in September, with October up over 20%. I remain incredibly proud of how our Regal associates continue to execute, with a sense of urgency, to best serve our customers, improve profitability, sustain healthy FCF, and pursue strategic growth opportunities – many tied to improving safety and energy efficiency.”

COVID-19 Update

The global COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s operations in the third quarter – although to a lesser extent than in prior quarters – both in terms of hurting demand in many of its end markets and regarding the virus’s impact on the Company’s manufacturing capacity. Fortunately, as the third quarter progressed, pressure on Regal’s order rates started to abate, and order rates inflected to the positive for three of the company’s four segments. Order rates are positive for all segments thus far in October. The Company’s global manufacturing base is largely operational, with plants running at somewhat reduced rates approximating 90% of full capacity, on average, in Mexico and India.

Management will continue to monitor COVID-related risk, acknowledging that in many regions confirmed cases of COVID-19 are on the rise.

2020 Guidance

The Company is providing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2020, with GAAP diluted earnings per share expected to be in a range of $1.34 to $1.54, and diluted adjusted EPS in a range of $1.46 to $1.66, which at the mid-point implies nearly 25% growth versus the prior year.

The company’s fourth quarter EPS expectation implies 2020 annual GAAP diluted earnings per share in a range of $4.75 to $4.95, and diluted adjusted EPS in a range of $5.45 to $5.65, which at the mid-point implies moderate growth versus the prior year.

The Company’s guidance assumes no material decline in its production capacity, or in its ability to conduct commercial operations, either from COVID-related disruptions, or other factors, versus levels as of the date of this release.

A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP EPS guidance to its adjusted EPS guidance is included in a table later in this release.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER DEFINITIONS
Unaudited
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data)

We prepare financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered “non-GAAP” financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In this earnings release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these measures in the tables below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: adjusted diluted earnings per share (both historical and projected), adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales, net debt, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating leverage, adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, net sales from ongoing business, adjusted income from operations of ongoing business, ongoing business adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share for ongoing business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our results of operations and for helping investors understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods and compared to our peers. Our management primarily uses adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted operating leverage to help us manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, while adjusted diluted earnings per share, net debt, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net sales, adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, net sales from ongoing business, adjusted income from operations of ongoing business, ongoing business adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share for ongoing business are primarily used to help us evaluate our business and forecast our future results. Accordingly, we believe disclosing and reconciling each of these measures helps investors evaluate our business in the same manner as management.

In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we also use the term “organic sales” to refer to GAAP sales from existing operations excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition (“net sales from business acquired") and excluding any sales from business divested/to be exited (“net sales from business divested/to be exited“) recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period’s organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods. We use the term “organic sales growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. For further clarification, we may use the term “acquisition growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to acquisition sales.
