Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Commenting on the quarter's results, President and Chief Executive Officer David Dunbar said, "We are pleased with our strong fourth quarter performance which concluded a very successful fiscal 2022. Record consolidated adjusted operating margin of 13.9%, in fiscal fourth quarter 2022 represented a 60 basis point increase year-over-year and a 10 basis point improvement sequentially, despite the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown in China. Each of our five company business segments reported adjusted operating margin of at least 15%, reflecting continued successful company-wide execution on price realization, productivity, and efficiency actions. Sales from fast growth markets such as electric vehicles, green energy, and the commercialization of space increased by 50% to $59 million in fiscal 2022. We are excited about the increasing number of new business opportunities and are well positioned to build on our momentum with improved financial performance in fiscal 2023.

"Highlighting our strengthened operating performance and strategic positioning, the Electronics segment achieved a significant milestone with record sales of $304 million in fiscal 2022. Both revenue and segment operating income have doubled over the past five years as we have aggressively pursued new market opportunities in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and smart grid. Total company backlog realizable in under one year ended at approximately $256 million, representing an approximately 22% increase year-over-year and 4% decrease sequentially.

"Standex's consistent cash generation and substantial financial flexibility position us well to pursue a very active pipeline of organic and inorganic growth opportunities. We realized approximately $19 million in free cash flow in fiscal fourth quarter 2022 and had approximately $313 million in available liquidity and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 0.5x.

"We are entering fiscal 2023 well positioned for further growth and continued improved financial performance as we continue to build on our portfolio of high-quality businesses. Our deep technical and applications expertise is favorably aligned with emerging and sustainable global trends in areas such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, defense, human health, and commercialization of space. In addition, our ongoing operational excellence initiatives, increased investment in R&D and strong balance sheet provide further leverage to drive our growth strategy and trajectory of profitability." concluded Dunbar.

Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Outlook

In fiscal first quarter 2023, the Company expects revenue and operating margin to be similar to fiscal fourth quarter 2022, with an increase in revenue and operating margin year-over-year. The Company expects that the Electronics segment will be the primary revenue driver with a moderate increase compared to fiscal fourth quarter 2022. This will be partially offset by the Engineering Technologies segment which is expected to have a moderate to significant decrease in revenue followed by a significant increase in fiscal second quarter 2023 due to project timing. Compared to fiscal fourth quarter 2022, Specialty Solutions segment revenue is expected to be similar, while Engraving and Scientific sales are expected to have a slight sequential revenue decrease.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations, free operating cash flow, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA to net debt, and adjusted earnings per share. The attached financial tables reconcile non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP measures including the impact of restructuring charges, purchase accounting, insurance recoveries, discrete tax events, loss on sale of a business unit, and acquisition costs help investors to obtain a better understanding of our operating results and prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods. An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, or other gains and losses, on net income (absolute as well as on a per-share basis), operating income or EBITDA can give management and investors additional insight into core financial performance, especially when compared to quarters in which such items had a greater or lesser effect, or no effect. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the corresponding GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
