Gates Industrial Corporation plc (NYSE:GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific power transmission and fluid power solutions, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020.
Ivo Jurek, Gates Industrial’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our strong third-quarter results reflect a continuation of the momentum we saw exiting the second quarter, as well as focused execution by our global teams. Demand trended positively throughout the third quarter, with our business showing significant sequential improvement across all geographies and end markets. Productivity improvements, both at our new manufacturing plants and with broader internal initiatives under the Gates Production System, contributed to our 190 basis points of gross margin expansion. We expect this progress, along with the execution of our restructuring activities and the ongoing diligent management of discretionary spending, to drive elevated incremental margins as we return to growth.”
Jurek continued, “We believe we are effectively managing the controllable aspects of our business during this pandemic, and are doing so while prioritizing the health and safety of our employees and communities. We have a resilient business model, underpinned by a leading competitive position in our markets, a commitment to product innovation leadership and strong cash flow generation. Although we recognize there is some level of uncertainty, we are encouraged by the trajectory of the business and are confident that we are well positioned to navigate the environment and capitalize on the recovery of our end markets.”
Third-Quarter Financial Results
Third-quarter net sales of $712.2 million decreased 4.6% over the prior-year quarter net sales of $746.6 million, including a 3.6% core revenue decline and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of 1.0%. Revenues progressively strengthened throughout the quarter, driven by broad-based improvement across end markets and geographies. Sales into replacement channels outperformed those in first-fit channels, with the automotive replacement channel notably resilient, returning to solid growth in Europe, China and North America. Industrial end markets continued to recover, albeit at a more measured pace, particularly in North America.
Net income attributable to shareholders in the third quarter was $41.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to shareholders of $35.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted Net Income was $75.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $65.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2020 was 292,441,599 compared to 291,113,102 in the third quarter of 2019.

Third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $140.0 million, or 19.7% of net sales, compared to $145.0 million, or 19.4% of net sales in the prior-year quarter, representing Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 30 basis points. The margin expansion was driven by gross margin improvement, achieved through productivity initiatives and improved utilization of our manufacturing plants.

Fluid Power net sales decreased 10.7% to $243.0 million in the third quarter, reflecting a core revenue decline of 9.3% and unfavorable foreign currency effects of 1.4%. The segment’s core revenue represented 21.3% sequential acceleration from the second quarter, with sales into replacement channels outperforming and the automotive replacement channel, in particular, returning to growth.
Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 10 basis points over the prior-year quarter, despite the lower revenue. The margin expansion was attributable to gross margin expansion from productivity initiatives and increased utilization of manufacturing capacity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company generated $55.9 million of cash from operations. Third-quarter capital expenditures increased slightly to $18.0 million from $16.4 million in the prior-year period, the largest portion of which represented maintenance expenditures.
As of September 26, 2020, the Company had total cash of $672.3 million, committed borrowing headroom of $432.3 million, and total outstanding debt of $3.0 billion. The Company does not have any meaningful debt maturities until 2024 and does not expect to draw down any committed lines of credit in the foreseeable future.
2020 Outlook
Due to the continuing level of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to predict the trajectory and sustainability of the demand recovery, the Company is not reinstating full-year 2020 core revenue or Adjusted EBITDA guidance at this time. The Company continues to expect total capital expenditures of approximately $70 million for the full year. Based on the significant rebound of the business from the second-quarter low, the Company expects that higher net working capital investment to support increased demand, as well as certain non-cash deferred tax impacts, will result in Free Cash Flow Conversion greater than 80% of Adjusted Net Income.

Non-GAAP Financial Statements
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as its key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business either period-over-period or with other businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment profitability to assess the performance of our businesses, and it is used for total Gates as well because we believe it is important to consider our total profitability on a basis that is consistent with that of our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of revenues for that period.
Management uses Adjusted Net Income as an additional measure of profitability. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income attributable to shareholders before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses.
Core revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the impacts of movements in foreign currency rates and the first-year impacts of acquisitions and disposals, where applicable. We present core revenue growth because it allows for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency gains or losses, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition or disposal.
Management uses Free Cash Flow to measure cash generation and liquidity. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion is a measure of Free Cash Flow expressed as a percentage of Adjusted Net Income. We use this metric as a measure of the success of our business in converting Adjusted Net Income into cash.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see below for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
