Vertiv Reports First Quarter Operating Profit of $130 Million and Adjusted Operating Profit(1) of $176 Million, Up $163 Million; Operating Cash Flow of $42 Million, Up $174 Million; Full Year 2023 Profit Guidance Raised

  • Strong first quarter net sales growth of 32% and organic net sales growth(1) of 35%, supported by improved operational performance and backlog execution
  • Operating profit of $130 million and adjusted operating profit of $176 million in first quarter 2023, exceeding high-end of guidance range by $41 million
  • Increasing full year 2023 operating profit guidance at the midpoint to $618 million, and adjusted operating profit guidance(1) at the midpoint to $800 million, up 82% compared to 2022

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Vertiv reported first quarter net sales of $1,521 million, an increase of $365 million, or 32%, compared with last year’s first quarter and a 35% organic net sales increase(1), which excludes the impact of foreign currency. Foreign currency negatively impacted first quarter sales by approximately $40 million as compared to first quarter last year. Consistent with expectations, order normalization continued in first quarter – a healthy reflection of supply chain improvement and industry lead time reduction – and contributed to orders declining 23% (excluding foreign exchange) from the first quarter of 2022. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.0x for first quarter 2023.

First quarter operating profit of $130 million increased $175 million compared to last year’s first quarter, and adjusted operating profit of $176 million increased $163 million from the same period. These increases were primarily driven by a $105 million benefit from pricing and a $95 million benefit from volume, partially offset by material, freight and labor inflation and capacity and R&D growth investments. First quarter 2023 adjusted operating profit was above the prior guidance range primarily due to higher volume in the quarter resulting from improvements in operational execution and supply chain.

“We anticipated a strong start to 2023, and our first quarter results delivered with sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted free cash flow exceeding our guidance,” said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv’s Chief Executive Officer. “These results reflect substantive progress in the Americas, where sales increased 61% and adjusted operating profit more than tripled, driven by continued gains in pricing and improvement in our operational execution across the business. Our backlog held steady at record levels, reflecting a continued return to a more normalized order cycle, which is healthy for the industry. I remain encouraged by the resiliency of data center market demand as our pipeline activity remains strong. Substantial investment continues in our end markets, with secular demand drivers reinforced by growing AI investment. With an intense focus on our operational execution, we are raising our full year 2023 adjusted operating profit guidance based on our strong first quarter results and continued resilient data center market demand.”

Dave Cote, Vertiv’s Executive Chairman, added: “Progress accelerated in the first quarter under Gio’s leadership, demonstrating his global focus on execution, operational excellence and building a high-performance culture – consistent with his successful track record turning around the EMEA and Americas regions. As we continue to advance our strategy to drive margin improvement and enhanced profitability, we see a clear runway ahead for further value creation in meeting the world’s ever-growing demand for data and the critical digital infrastructure that Vertiv provides.”

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash generated by operating activities in the first quarter was $42 million, an increase of $174 million from the prior year quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $25 million, an increase of $175 million from the prior year quarter. First quarter adjusted free cash flow was above the guidance range primarily due to higher adjusted operating profit as well as an increase in advanced payments from customers, which resulted in accelerated timing of collections. We anticipate free cash flow will increase sequentially each quarter in 2023. Liquidity at the end of the first quarter was $601 million.

Full Year and Second Quarter 2023 Guidance

Market demand remains healthy and pipeline activity is encouraging. We currently anticipate differences in quarterly seasonality in 2023 compared to historic patterns as a strong beginning-of-the-year backlog, coupled with improving supply chains and operational execution, should generate more uniformity of expected quarterly sales as we progress through the year. We are raising operating profit guidance to $618 million (at the midpoint) and adjusted operating profit guidance to $800 million (at the midpoint) for 2023, an increase of $25 million (at the midpoint) compared to prior guidance. Our assumptions include price realization of $300 million and incremental growth investments of $40 million. Our 2023 guidance for adjusted operating profit (at the midpoint) is up over 82%, and adjusted operating margin of 12.3% is up 460 basis points, versus 2022. Adjusted free cash flow guidance for 2023 remains at $300 million to $400 million, a $610 million anticipated improvement (at the midpoint) versus prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the news release, as further described above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to second quarter and full-year 2023 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

See “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for Vertiv’s reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This news release, and other statements that Vertiv may make in connection therewith, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Vertiv’s future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding Vertiv’s financial position, capital structure, indebtedness, business strategy and plans, and objectives of Vertiv management for future operations, as well as statements regarding growth, anticipated demand for our products and services, and our business prospects during 2023, as well as expected impacts from our pricing actions, and our guidance for second quarter and full year 2023. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Vertiv cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this news release, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Vertiv has previously disclosed risk factors in its Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports, including those set forth in the Vertiv 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023. These risk factors and those identified elsewhere in this release, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from historical performance and include, but are not limited to: risks relating to the continued growth of Vertiv’s customers’ markets; disruption of Vertiv’s customers’ orders or Vertiv’s customers’ markets; less favorable contractual terms with large customers; risks associated with governmental contracts; failure to mitigate risks associated with long-term fixed price contracts; competition in the infrastructure technologies industry; failure to obtain performance and other guarantees from financial institutions; failure to realize sales expected from Vertiv’s backlog of orders and contracts; failure to properly manage Vertiv’s supply chain or difficulties with third-party manufacturers; our ability to forecast changes in prices, including due to inflation in material, freight and/or labor costs, and timely implement measures necessary to mitigate the impacts of any such changes; risks associated with our significant backlog, including that the impacts of any measures taken to mitigate inflation will not be reflected in our financial statements immediately; failure to meet or anticipate technology changes; risks associated with information technology disruption or security; risks associated with the implementation and enhancement of information systems; failure to realize the expected benefit from any rationalization, restructuring and improvement efforts; Vertiv’s ability to realize cost savings in connection with Vertiv’s restructuring program; disruption of, or changes in, Vertiv’s independent sales representatives, distributors and original equipment manufacturers; changes to tax law; ongoing tax audits; costs or liabilities associated with product liability; the global scope of Vertiv’s operations; risks associated with Vertiv’s sales and operations in emerging markets; risks associated with future legislation and regulation of Vertiv’s customers’ markets both in the U.S. and abroad; Vertiv’s ability to comply with various laws and regulations, and the costs associated with legal compliance; adverse outcomes to any legal claims and proceedings filed by or against Vertiv; risks associated with current or potential litigation or claims against Vertiv; Vertiv’s ability to protect or enforce its proprietary rights on which its business depends; third-party intellectual property infringement claims; liabilities associated with environmental, health and safety matters, including risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; failure to achieve environmental, social and governance goals; failure to realize the value of goodwill and intangible assets; exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; exposure to increases in interest rates set by central banking authorities; failure to maintain internal controls over financial reporting; the unpredictability of Vertiv’s future operational results, including the ability to grow and manage growth profitably; potential net losses in future periods; Vertiv’s level of indebtedness and the ability to incur additional indebtedness; Vertiv’s ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreements including restrictive covenants that restrict operational flexibility; Vertiv's ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreements that is not fully within our control; Vertiv’s ability to access funding through capital markets; the significant ownership and influence certain stockholders have over Vertiv; resales of Vertiv's securities may cause volatility in the market price of our securities; Vertiv's organizational documents contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals; Vertiv's certificate of incorporation includes a forum selection clause, which could discourage or limit stockholders’ ability to make a claim against it; the ability of Vertiv's subsidiaries to pay dividends; the ability of Vertiv to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers, and retain its management and key employees; Vertiv’s ability to manage the succession of its key employees; factors relating to the business, operations and financial performance of Vertiv and its subsidiaries, including: global economic weakness and uncertainty; Vertiv’s ability to attract, train and retain key members of its leadership team and other qualified personnel; the adequacy of Vertiv’s insurance coverage; a failure to benefit from future corporate transactions; risks associated with Vertiv’s limited history of operating as an independent company; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in Vertiv’s SEC reports or documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Vertiv.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Vertiv’s non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles;
  • Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
  • Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate;
  • Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures, investments in capitalized software and include proceeds from disposition of PP&E; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and change in warranty liability.

Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS based on 381.7 million shares (includes 378.1 million basic shares, 1.9 million dilutive warrants, and 1.7 million potential dilutive stock options and restricted stock units). Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS includes an adjustment to exclude $4.2 million from net income which is attributable to the warrants as they were dilutive in the period. We believe that this presentation is more representative of operating results by removing the impact of warrant liability accounting and the associated impact on diluted share count.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2023 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
