    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 07 2月 2023 08:00:01   America/New_York

    LISLE, Ill., Feb. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of custom engineered solutions that “Sense, Connect and Move,” today announced fourth quarter and full-year 2022 results.

    “We delivered solid performance throughout 2022, closing the year with a double-digit increase in revenue along with strong adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. During the year, we advanced our diversification strategy through the completion of two acquisitions, while also gaining momentum with electric platform wins as we continue developing new products for hybrid and electric vehicles,” said Kieran O’Sullivan, CEO of CTS Corporation. “Looking ahead, we expect a softer first quarter, and an improving trend for the rest of 2023. We remain focused on executing our strategic priorities while driving operational improvements to deliver long-term value creation.”

    Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

    • Sales were $142.3 million, up 7% year-over-year. Sales to non-transportation end markets increased 22% and, as expected, sales to the transportation end market decreased 4 % over the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Reported net income was $14.9 million at 11% of sales, compared to $9.2 million at 7% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Earnings per share was $0.47 per diluted share, up from $0.28 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.56, up from $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.9% compared to 20.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Operating cash flow was $25.5 million compared to $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

    Full-Year 2022 Results

    • Sales were $586.9 million, up 14% year-over-year, driven by strength in non-transportation end markets. Non-transportation end markets grew 24%, while the transportation end market grew 7% compared to 2021.
    • Net income was $59.6 million or 10% of sales, compared to a net loss of $41.9 million or (8)% of sales in 2021. Net income in 2021 was impacted by the non-cash pension charge of $96.6 million.
    • Earnings per share was $1.85 per diluted share, compared to $(1.30) per diluted share, in 2021.
    • Adjusted diluted EPS was $2.46, up from $1.93 in 2021.
    • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.8%, up from 21.0% in 2021.
    • Operating cash flow was $121.2 million, up from $86.1 million in 2021.

    2023 Guidance

    CTS expects full-year 2023 sales to be in the range of $580 - $640 million and adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.40 - $2.70.

    CTS does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because CTS is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition related costs, foreign exchange rates and other non-routine costs. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of CTS' control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, CTS is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

    This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, any financial or other guidance, statements that reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events, and any other statements that are not based solely on historical fact. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations, certain assumptions and currently available information. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof and are based on various assumptions as to future events, the occurrence of which necessarily are subject to uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are made subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause CTS’ actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those presented in the forward-looking statements. Examples of factors that may affect future operating results and financial condition include, but are not limited to: the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CTS’ business, results of operations or financial condition, including supply chain disruptions; changes in the economy generally, including inflationary and/or recessionary conditions, and in respect to the business in which CTS operates; unanticipated issues in integrating acquisitions, including our acquisitions of TEWA Temperature Sensors and Ferroperm Piezoceramics; the results of actions to reposition CTS’ business; rapid technological change; general market conditions in the transportation, as well as conditions in the industrial, aerospace and defense, and medical markets; reliance on key customers; unanticipated public health crises, natural disasters or other events; environmental compliance and remediation expenses; the ability to protect CTS’ intellectual property; pricing pressures and demand for CTS’ products; and risks associated with CTS’ international operations, including trade and tariff barriers, exchange rates and political and geopolitical risks (including, without limitation, the potential impact U.S./China relations and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may have on our business, results of operations and financial condition).

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    From time to time, CTS may use non-GAAP financial measures in discussing CTS’ business.    These measures are intended to supplement, not replace, CTS’ presentation of its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. CTS’ management believes that non-GAAP financial measures can be useful to investors in analyzing CTS’ financial performance and results of operations over time. CTS recommends that investors consider both actual and adjusted measures in evaluating the performance of CTS with peer companies.

    The information in this press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of certain expenses and income not related directly to the underlying performance of CTS’ fundamental business operations.

    CTS believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide useful information to investors regarding its operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of CTS’ core financial performance and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations, by excluding items that are not related directly to the underlying performance of CTS’ fundamental business operations or were not part of CTS’ business operations during a comparable period.

    CTS believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which CTS operates, and thus further provide useful information to investors. CTS’ definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies.
