    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 03 11月 2022 06:30:01   America/Chicago

    CINCINNATI, Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hillman Solutions Corp. (Nasdaq: HLMN) (the “Company” or “Hillman”), a leading provider of hardware products and merchandising solutions, reported financial results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022.

    Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (Thirteen Weeks Ended September 24, 2022)

    • Net sales increased 3.9% to $378.5 million compared to $364.5 million in the prior year quarter
    • Net loss totaled $(9.5) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(32.5) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, in the prior year quarter
    • Adjusted diluted EPS1 was $0.14 per diluted share compared to $0.13 per diluted share in the prior year quarter
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $59.0 million compared to $56.5 million in the prior year quarter

    Third Quarter YTD 2022 Highlights (Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended September 24, 2022)

    • Net sales increased 5.0% to $1.14 billion as compared to $1.08 billion in the prior year period
    • Net loss totaled $(2.5) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(44.9) million, or $(0.38) per diluted share, in the prior year period
    • Adjusted diluted EPS1 was $0.38 per diluted share compared to $0.49 per diluted share in the prior year period
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $165.3 million compared to $168.8 million in the prior year period

    “Our best-in-class field sales and service team continue to solve complex labor and supply chain issues for our blue chip customer base," commented Doug Cahill, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Hillman. “With our fill rates for the year at 96%, we are gaining market share and strengthening customer relationships by keeping the shelves stocked at over 40,000 locations. Third quarter net sales increased and Adjusted EBITDA improved year-over-year as we realized the benefit of several price increases to offset higher costs.”

    “Looking forward, we see several catalysts that reinforce our competitive moat and our expectation for further growth. Near record homeowner’s equity in homes and an aging U.S. housing stock provide a meaningful driver of home improvement projects for years to come, which bodes well for our estimated 90% exposure to repair, remodel and maintenance activity. Our direct-to-store model is minimizing the impact of customer de-stocking while sourcing lead times have continued to improve since the beginning of the year. Further, our multiple price actions offset increased costs for the full year 2022 on a dollar-for-dollar basis. As we look toward 2023, we are positioned well to continue delivering unmatched performance to our customers while working down inventory and generating solid returns in our business.”

    1.  Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Net Debt, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the "Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA”, "Reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share", "Reconciliation of Net Debt" and "Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow" sections of this press release for additional information as well as reconciliations between the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP financial results.

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity at Quarter-End

    • Total long-term debt was $914 million, compared to $907 million at the end of 2021. Net debt1 outstanding was $922 million, compared to $931 million at the end of 2021
    • Liquidity available totaled approximately $225 million, consisting of $195 million of available borrowing under the revolving credit facility and $29 million of cash and equivalents
    • Net debt1 to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was 4.5 times, unchanged from the end of 2021, and improved from 4.7 times at the end of the second quarter of 2022

    Full Year 2022 Guidance - Update

    Based on year-to-date performance and improved visibility on the remainder of the year, management is providing additional information on its full year 2022 guidance originally provided on March 2, 2022 with Hillman's fourth quarter 2021 results.

     Original Full Year 2022 GuidanceUpdated Full Year 2022 Guidance
    Net Sales$1.5 billion - $1.6 billion$1.46 billion - $1.50 billion
    Adjusted EBITDA1$207 million - $227 million$207 million - $211 million
    Free Cash Flow1, 2$120 million - $130 million$75 million - $85 million

    2. Note that the Free Cash Flow guidance excludes $16 million of royalty fee litigation judgement related to the Hy-Ko case as the payment timing is still to be determined.

    Rocky Kraft, Hillman's chief financial officer, added: “Our team continues to serve our customers well, implement price increases, and control costs in this dynamic environment. Sales growth and solid margin performance were in part made possible by securing inventory in early 2022. That strategy has been successful and resulted in continuity of service to our customers and new business wins."

    "However, sales volume has been softer than expectations, which ultimately impacted the timing of our planned inventory reductions. Additionally, we incurred one-time cash expenses related to patent litigation. In consideration of these factors, we have adjusted our net sales and free cash flow expectations for 2022 - while refining our Adjusted EBITDA guidance within our original range.

    "With supply chains and lead times returning to more manageable levels, we are poised to generate stronger cash flow and further reduce leverage in 2023 as we continue to grow our business and bring working capital back in line with historical levels.”

    HILLMAN SOLUTIONS CORP.
    Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze underlying business performance and trends. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the Company’s and investors’ ability to compare the Company’s past financial performance with its current performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are not provided for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

    Non-GAAP financial measures such as consolidated adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) exclude from the relevant GAAP metrics items that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business, nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance.

    Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
    (dollars in thousands)

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

    (7)In the third quarter of 2021, we recorded an inventory valuation adjustment in our Hardware and Protective Solutions segment of $32.0 million primarily related to strategic review of our COVID-19 related product offerings. We evaluated our customers' needs and the market conditions and ultimately decided to exit the following protective product categories related to COVID-19; cleaning wipes, disinfecting sprays, face masks, and certain disposable gloves.



    Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS (Unaudited)
    (in thousands, except per share data)

    We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as reported diluted EPS excluding the effect of one-time, non-recurring activity and volatility associated with our income tax expense. The Company believes that Adjusted Diluted EPS provides further insight and comparability in operating performance as it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. The following is a reconciliation of reported diluted EPS from continuing operations to Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations:
