Vontier Reports Strong Second Quarter 2023 Results and Raises Full Year Guidance

Strong execution on strategic initiatives to accelerate growth and position the portfolio for robust secular tailwinds across the mobility ecosystem

  • Sales of $764 million, down 1.5% vs. prior year; Core sales down 1.6%
  • GAAP diluted EPS of $0.62; Adjusted diluted net EPS of $0.67 vs. prior guide of $0.61 to $0.66
  • Operating cash flow was $78 million; Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $77 million, representing 73% Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion
  • Initiates Q3 2023 guidance for Adjusted diluted net EPS of $0.65 to $0.69
  • Increases full-year 2023 Adjusted diluted net EPS guidance to $2.79 to $2.87

Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Reported sales in the second quarter declined 1.5% year-over-year to $764.4 million, reflecting a decrease in core sales of 1.6%. Continued underlying momentum across the portfolio, supported by strong secular tailwinds, healthy end market demand, improving supply chain conditions and ongoing pricing realization, was more than offset by the expected sunset of EMV-related sales. Operating profit of $120.6 million declined 11.6% versus the prior year, and operating profit margin decreased 180 basis points, to 15.8%. Adjusted operating profit of $160.1 million declined 4.1% versus the prior year and adjusted operating profit margin decreased approximately 60 basis points, to 20.9%. Net earnings were $97.3 million, and adjusted net earnings were $105.4 million, resulting in diluted net earnings per share of $0.62 and adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.67.

“Vontier delivered another quarter of solid results, exceeding the high-end of our EPS guidance, led by 9% baseline core sales growth and strong operational execution,” said Mark Morelli, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to advance our connected mobility strategy, resulting in several key customer wins in the quarter and highlighting our distinct capabilities to enable our customers’ decarbonization journeys and provide differentiated operating system software.”

“Demand across our end markets remains constructive, and our team’s growth strategy and cost out execution has been strong, providing confidence in our improved outlook for the full year,” Morelli continued.

“Vontier’s portfolio is uniquely positioned to deliver smart, sustainable solutions as our customers continue to invest in modernizing and expanding their footprints, decarbonizing their fleets and enhancing their asset productivity. We believe no other company across the mobility ecosystem can match our portfolio depth and breadth, product capabilities, domain expertise and channel presence needed to solve our customers’ high-value problems.”

Mobility Technologies reported sales increased 13.4% versus the prior year. Core sales growth of 4.6% was driven by strong performance across car wash technologies and alternative energy solutions, as well as solid growth in telematics. Segment operating profit increased 4.9% versus the prior year. Segment operating profit margin declined 150 basis points year over year, as a result of unfavorable mix related to the Invenco acquisition and continued growth investments.

Repair Solutions reported sales grew 5.8% over the prior year. Core sales growth of 6.0% was driven by robust demand for tool storage, hardline and cordless power tools, as well as higher net franchisee adds. Segment operating profit was in line with prior year results. Segment operating profit margin declined 150 basis points, impacted by year-over-year reserve-related adjustments to the receivables portfolio.

Environmental & Fueling Solutions reported sales declined 9.6% year-over-year. Core sales were down 8.5% as continued strength in U.S. dispensing equipment and aftermarket parts was more than offset by the year-over-year decline in EMV-related volume. Segment operating profit declined 3.4% year over year, while segment operating profit margin expanded 190 basis points, driven by price/cost execution, as well as higher restructuring and productivity savings.

Other Items

  • Repurchased ~$32 million, or ~1.1 million shares, during the quarter; Year to date through June, share repurchases total $50 million, or 2.0 million shares.
  • Repaid $100 million in debt during the quarter; Year to date through June, debt repayment totaled $165 million. Net debt/Adj. EBITDA ended Q2 at 2.9X.

  • Adjusted operating profit margin down 60 to 80 basis points; Baseline* adjusted operating profit margin expansion of 180 to 200 basis points
  • Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.79 to $2.87, compares to the prior range of $2.77 to $2.87
  • Adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~90-100%

Q3 2023 Outlook

  • Total sales down mid-single digits; Core sales down mid-single digits; Baseline* core sales growth of mid-single digits-plus
  • Adjusted operating profit margin down 370 to 420 basis points year over year; Baseline* adjusted operating profit margin down 70 to 100 basis points year-over-year

*References to baseline core sales growth and baseline margin expansion exclude the impact of the year over year decline in EMV-related U.S. Dispenser sales (~$300M) and the associated operating profit decline (~$150M), consistent with the framework previously provided.

VONTIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

AND OTHER INFORMATION

Core Sales Growth and Baseline Core Sales Growth

We define core sales growth as the change in total sales calculated according to GAAP but excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

  • References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations.
  • The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
  • The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to sales from existing businesses which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period.

Baseline core sales growth refers to core sales growth but excluding the impact of the end of the U.S. upgrade cycle for enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the EMV global standards.

Core sales growth and Baseline core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales growth provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales growth. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales growth may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.

Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin

Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, costs associated with restructurings including one-time termination benefits and related charges and impairment and other charges associated with facility closure, contract termination and other related activities, and the related impact of certain divested businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations ("Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments"), transaction- and deal-related costs, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results ("Other charges") and normalization and other adjustments which represent adjustments for standalone public company costs. Adjusted operating profit margin refers to adjusted operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin

Segment operating profit is used by Vontier’s management in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of management’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other costs shown in the reconciliation to GAAP operating profit below. As part of management’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge based on the segment’s financing receivables portfolio is assessed by Corporate. Segment operating profit margin refers to segment operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, normalization and other adjustments which represent adjustments for standalone public company costs, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments, and including the tax effect of these adjustments and other tax adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment). Adjusted diluted net earnings per share refers to adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations calculated according to GAAP but excluding capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow refers to free cash flow adjusted for cash received from the sale of property and cash paid for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal related costs, one-time costs related to the separation, and Other charges. Adjusted free cash flow conversion refers to adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Net Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA adjusted for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments. Net leverage ratio refers to net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of the projected Core Sales Growth, Baseline Core Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Baseline Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.
