Our balance sheet remains strong, and our robust cash flow has continued to support incremental strategic investments into the business, return of capital to shareholders and the execution of our long-term strategy.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights

First quarter 2024 performance relative to first quarter 2023

  • Sales of $571 million increased 21% on a reported basis, which includes sales from acquisitions, and 6% organically primarily due to extra shipping days in the quarter, which were approximately 7% of the sales increase. Excluding the extra shipping days, organic sales declined largely as a result of volume weakness in Europe. Sales from acquisitions totaled $68 million, with $60 million reported within the Americas and $8 million reported within APMEA. Favorable foreign exchange movements increased sales by $1 million.
  • Operating margin decreased 110 basis points on a reported basis and increased 30 basis points on an adjusted basis. Adjusted operating margin increased primarily due to favorable price, volume leverage and productivity, which more than offset inflation, incremental investments and the dilutive impact of acquisitions. Reported operating margin was unfavorably impacted by acquisition-related and restructuring charges.

Regional Performance

Americas

  • Sales of $419 million increased 30% on a reported basis and 11% on an organic basis due to extra shipping days, favorable price and growth in core valve products. The additional shipping days increased sales by high-single-digits. The acquisitions of Bradley and Josam contributed $60 million in sales, or 19% to reported growth.
  • Operating margin decreased 200 basis points on a reported basis and 40 basis points on an adjusted basis as benefits from price realization, volume leverage from extra shipping days and productivity were more than offset by inflation, incremental investments and the dilutive impact of the Bradley acquisition. Reported operating margin was unfavorably impacted by acquisition-related and restructuring charges.

Europe

  • Sales of $123 million decreased 4% on a reported basis, which included favorable foreign exchange movements of 1%. Organic sales decreased 5%, as extra shipping days and price realization were more than offset by lower volumes in fluid solutions, particularly in the OEM channel. The additional shipping days increased sales by mid-single-digits.
  • Operating margin increased 160 basis points on a reported basis and 110 basis points on an adjusted basis as benefits from favorable price-cost dynamic, product mix and productivity more than offset inflation and lower volume. Reported operating margin was also favorably impacted by a gain from the sale of a facility.

APMEA

  • Sales of $29 million increased 43% on a reported basis driven by the Enware acquisition, which added $8 million in sales, or 40%, to reported growth, partly offset by unfavorable foreign exchange movements of 3%. Organic sales increased 6% due to growth in New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East primarily as a result of the extra shipping days. The additional shipping days increased sales by mid-single-digits.
  • Operating margin decreased 250 basis points on a reported basis and 150 basis points on an adjusted basis as benefits from price realization, volume leverage from extra shipping days and productivity were more than offset by inflation, incremental investments and the dilutive impact of the Enware acquisition. Reported operating margin was unfavorably impacted by restructuring charges.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

  • For the first quarter of 2024, operating cash flow was $46 million and net capital expenditures were $9 million, resulting in free cash flow of $37 million. In the comparable period last year, operating cash flow was $33 million and net capital expenditures were $5 million, resulting in free cash flow of $28 million. Operating and free cash flow increased due to higher net income and lower working capital investment. Sequential improvement in operating and free cash flow is expected throughout 2024 due to normal seasonality.
  • On May 7, 2024, the Company announced a 19% increase in quarterly dividend payments, increasing the quarterly payments from $0.36 cents per share to $0.43 cents per share beginning in June 2024.
  • The Company repurchased approximately 20,000 shares of Class A common stock at a cost of $4.0 million during the first quarter of 2024.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, we refer to non-GAAP financial measures (including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, organic sales, free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income and net debt to capitalization ratio) and provide a reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding financial measures contained in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these financial measures enhance the overall understanding of our historical financial performance and give insight into our future prospects. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share eliminate certain expenses incurred and benefits recognized in the periods presented that relate primarily to our global restructuring programs, acquisition-related costs, gain on sale of asset and the related income tax impacts on these items. Management then utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess the run rate of the Company’s operations against those of comparable periods. Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures from period-over-period comparisons. Management believes reporting organic sales growth provides useful information to investors, potential investors and others, and allows for a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income, and the net debt to capitalization ratio, which are adjusted to exclude certain cash inflows and outlays, and include only certain balance sheet accounts from the comparable GAAP measures, are an indication of our performance in cash flow generation and also provide an indication of the Company's relative balance sheet leverage to other industrial manufacturing companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our cash flow generation and our capitalization structure. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to measure and pay certain compensation-based incentives. For these reasons, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures can be useful to investors, potential investors and others. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
