Douglas Dynamics Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Highlights:

  • Net Sales of $166.1 Million, a 30.1% increase compared to 3Q21
  • Net Income increased 88.9% to $13.3 million, or $0.56 of Diluted EPS
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 62.2% to $25.1 million
  • Raised and narrowed 2022 guidance on strong quarter results
  • Paid $0.29 per share cash dividend on September 30, 2022

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (NYSE: PLOW), North America’s premier manufacturer and upfitter of work truck attachments and equipment, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“We are pleased with our performance this quarter and year to date, especially in light of the ongoing macroeconomic headwinds,” noted Bob McCormick, President & CEO. “Both segments delivered across the board improvements compared to the same quarter last year. While the predicted increase in chassis and component supply has yet to materialize in any significant way, demand for our products and services remains strong. We commend our teams for delivering on the factors within our control and anticipating trends with external challenges, while consistently going above and beyond for our customers.”

Adjusted Diluted EPS$0.57$0.29
  • Consolidated third quarter 2022 Net Sales increased by $38.5 million, or 30.1%, compared to the same period last year, based on increased volumes and pricing adjustments in both segments.
  • Income from Operations, Net Income, Diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA all increased significantly compared to 3Q21 due to higher volumes in both segments and improved price realization somewhat offset by operational inefficiencies due to supply chain constraints.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million to $19.2 million during the third quarter 2022, due to higher labor costs and other discretionary spending returning to more normalized levels.
  • Interest expense increased by $1.1 million to $3.3 million primarily due to higher interest on increased revolver borrowings compared to the prior year, plus higher interest rates on the term loan.
  • The effective tax rate was 17.9% and 14.6% for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Effective tax rates for both quarters were lower than historical averages due to a discrete tax benefit of $0.8 million in 3Q21 related to favorable state income tax audit results, versus a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million in 3Q22 related to favorable state tax rate changes.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin21.2%18.2%
  • Work Truck Attachment Net Sales were $108.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $26.9 million, or 33.0% over the prior year, due to strong conclusion to the pre-season order period and higher pricing compared to last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 55.0% compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to increased volume, price realization and inflationary pressures stabilizing, which was partly offset by increased labor costs.

Net Sales$57.9$46.3
Adjusted EBITDA$2.2$0.7
Adjusted EBITDA Margin3.8%1.5%
  • Work Truck Solutions Net Sales increased $11.6 million, or approximately 25.1%, compared to the corresponding period of last year, due to higher volumes on more predictable but still constricted supply of chassis and price realization.
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the third quarter of 2021, although it continues to be impacted by constricted supply of chassis and components impacting efficiency, plus inflationary pressures on material, labor, and freight costs.

Dividend & Liquidity

  • A quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share of the Company's common stock was declared on September 6, 2022, and paid on September 30, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 19, 2022.
  • Net Cash Used in Operating Activities for the first nine months of 2022 increased to $74.5 million from $19.5 million in the same period 2021.
  • Free Cash Flow for the first nine months of 2022 decreased to $(83.4) million from $(26.8) million for the same period 2021, largely due to higher accounts receivable attributable to the increase in sales, as well as higher inventory from increased material costs and pulling forward supply.

Outlook

McCormick stated, “We are raising and narrowing our guidance ranges today given our robust performance so far this year, plus the positive demand trends we see and strong backlog in our Solutions segment. The results we’ve delivered despite the uncertain external conditions are a testament to our collaborative, problem solving culture. While we expect that these headwinds will persist into 2023, we believe we remain on track to deliver our long-term financial targets.”

The 2022 financial outlook has been raised and narrowed as follows:

  • Net Sales are expected to be between $600 million and $630 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is predicted to range from $80 million to $95 million.
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share are expected to be in the range of $1.65 per share to $2.05 per share.
  • The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 24% - 25%.
  • The outlook assumes relatively stable economic conditions, consistent supply chain performance, and our core markets will experience average snowfall levels in fourth quarter 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, certain purchase accounting expenses, and incremental costs incurred related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such COVID-19 related costs include increased expenses directly related to the pandemic, and do not include either production related overhead inefficiencies or lost or deferred sales. We believe these costs are out of the ordinary, unrelated to our business and not representative of our results. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, incremental costs incurred related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Such COVID-19 related costs include increased expenses directly related to the pandemic, and do not include either production related overhead inefficiencies or lost or deferred sales. We believe these costs are out of the ordinary, unrelated to our business and not representative of our results. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results.  Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.  Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities.  We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
