Commentary:
“Throughout the pandemic, we invested in sales and marketing as well as research and development. These investments, coupled with improved market conditions, helped us generate double-digit organic sales growth this quarter,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, J. Michael Nauman. “This quarter, we also completed three acquisitions which position Brady extremely well for long-term sales and cash flow growth. Each
of these acquisitions brings technology to Brady that further cements our leadership position in selected niche safety and identification markets. Our priorities for fiscal 2022 are to continue to accelerate organic sales growth by making the necessary investments in R&D and sales and marketing, to continue to become a more efficient manufacturer through increased automation and the relentless push for sustainable efficiency actions, to ensure the smooth integration of our recent acquisitions, and finally to deploy our strong balance sheet to generate increased shareholder value.”
“This quarter, we had strong double-digit sales growth of 21.6 percent and generated non-GAAP EPS of $0.70, which represents another very strong quarter for Brady,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Aaron Pearce. “Brady continues to generate strong cash flow and has a very strong balance sheet. Even after investing $244 million in acquisitions in the fourth quarter, we are still in a net cash position of $109.3 million as of July 31, 2021. This year, we generated $205.7 million of cash flow from operating activities, which was an increase of 45.9 percent compared to last year. Brady’s strong balance sheet, recent organic and inorganic investments, and strong cash generation position us well for future financial success.”
Share Buyback Program:
On September 1, 2021, Brady’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s share buyback program, bringing the amount of the Company’s Class A Common Stock authorized for repurchase up to a total of two million shares, inclusive of the shares in the existing share buyback program. The share buyback plan may be implemented from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Fiscal 2022 Guidance:
Brady expects earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share, excluding after-tax amortization expense to range from $3.12 to $3.32 for the year ending July 31, 2022. Brady also expects GAAP earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share to range from $2.90 to $3.10, which would be an increase of 17.4 percent to 25.5 percent over the GAAP earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share of $2.47 for the year ended July 31, 2021. Included in our earnings-per-share guidance is an $8.1 million increase in amortization expense from $7.1 million in fiscal 2021 to $15.2 million for the year ending July 31, 2022, which equates to an after-tax year-over-year increase of approximately $0.12 per share.
This guidance is based upon a full-year income tax rate of approximately 20 percent, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $36 million, and sales growth in excess of 12 percent for the year ending July 31, 2022. Capital expenditures, exclusive of facility purchases are expected to be approximately $25 million during the year ending July 31, 2022. The Company’s fiscal 2022 guidance is based on foreign currency exchange rates as of July 31, 2021 and assumes a continued economic recovery.

In this news release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations.
The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “continue” or “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic or other pandemics; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; Brady’s ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; Brady’s ability to properly identify, integrate, and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; raw material and other cost increases including raw material shortages; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; risks associated with the loss of key employees; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; litigation, including product liability claims; foreign currency fluctuations; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021.
These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

GAAP to NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited; Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.
Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items:
Brady is presenting the non-GAAP measure, "Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items." This is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in this non-GAAP measure are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and supporting footnote disclosures. We do not view these items to be part of our ongoing results. We believe this profit measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure from year to year. The table below provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of Income before income taxes and losses of unconsolidated affiliate to the non-GAAP measure of Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items:
