Company provides 2016 full year net sales and
earnings outlook
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing
and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier
world, today reported net earnings of $13.2 million, or $0.73 per
diluted share, on net sales of $205.9 million for the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2015. The 2015 fourth quarter included a $2.0 million
pre-tax restructuring charge, or $0.09 per diluted share, to reduce
Tennant’s infrastructure costs. Excluding this special item, and a $0.04
per diluted share favorable tax true-up related to the 2015 third
quarter long-lived asset impairment charge, adjusted 2015 fourth quarter
net earnings totaled $14.0 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. On a
“Constant Currency” basis (assuming no change in foreign exchange rates
from the prior year), Tennant would have reported 2015 fourth quarter
net sales of $216.7 million and adjusted net earnings per diluted share
of $0.93, up 0.2 percent and equal to, respectively, compared to the
prior year quarter. (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.) In
the 2014 fourth quarter, Tennant reported net earnings of $17.5 million,
or $0.93 per diluted share, on record net sales of $216.3 million.
“Like other industrial companies, we saw a more sluggish business
environment in the 2015 fourth quarter,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant
Company's president and chief executive officer. “Despite the adverse
macroeconomic conditions, we had organic sales gains in EMEA for the
first time in 2015, as well as solid U.S. sales through distribution and
to strategic accounts.”
Commenting on the special item in the fourth quarter, Killingstad
stated: “We recorded a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter as
part of our continuing effort to reduce the company’s infrastructure
costs. This action was primarily related to the January 2016 sale of our
Green Machines™ outdoor city cleaning line. We remain focused on
investing in our strongest growth opportunities, which are in our
industrial and commercial cleaning products and technologies. We believe
we are now well positioned to operate more efficiently in an uncertain
economic environment.”
Tennant is committed to pursuing its growth strategy. The company is
confident that it is on the right path and plans to reach its $1 billion
organic sales goal through a strong new product and technology pipeline,
continued gains in emerging markets, a return to growth in Europe, a
focus on strategic accounts and an enhanced go-to-market strategy
designed to significantly expand Tennant’s worldwide market coverage and
customer base.
Fourth Quarter Operating Review
The
company's 2015 fourth quarter consolidated net sales of $205.9 million
were down 4.8 percent versus the prior year quarter. Unfavorable foreign
currency exchange reduced consolidated net sales by approximately 5.0
percent. Organic net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency
exchange (and acquisitions and divestitures when applicable), increased
approximately 0.2 percent.
Contributing to 2015 fourth quarter results were solid sales through
distribution and to strategic accounts, particularly in North America
and EMEA. Sales of scrubbers equipped with ec-H2O™ technology rose 3.8
percent in the fourth quarter, setting a record quarter for ec-H2O
technology sales.
Geographically, sales were down 2.5 percent in Tennant’s largest region,
the Americas. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange reduced sales by
approximately 3.0 percent. Organic sales increased approximately 0.5
percent, despite lapping the very robust Americas organic sales growth
of approximately 16.0 percent in the prior year quarter. Sales in
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) decreased 9.4 percent, but grew
approximately 1.1 percent organically, excluding an unfavorable foreign
currency exchange impact of about 10.5 percent. Sales in the Asia
Pacific (APAC) region were down 11.6 percent, or down approximately 3.6
percent organically, excluding an unfavorable foreign currency exchange
impact of about 8.0 percent.
Tennant's gross margin in the 2015 fourth quarter was 42.4 percent
versus 43.0 percent in the prior year quarter. Impacting gross margin
was a larger percentage of sales through distribution, as that channel
tends to have lower gross margins, and the unfavorable foreign currency
exchange impact. On a “Constant Currency” basis, fourth quarter gross
margin would have been 43.3 percent.
Research and development (R&D) expense for the 2015 fourth quarter
totaled $8.1 million, or 3.9 percent of sales, compared to $7.5 million,
or 3.4 percent of sales, in the same quarter last year. The company
continued to invest in developing innovative new products for its
traditional core business, as well as in its Orbio Technologies Group,
which is focused on advancing a suite of chemical-free and other
sustainable cleaning technologies.
Selling and administrative (S&A) expense in the 2015 fourth quarter
totaled $61.4 million, or 29.8 percent of sales, and $59.5 million, or
28.9 percent of sales as adjusted to exclude the $2.0 million pre- tax
restructuring charge. Tennant continued to invest in its sales growth
and efficiency initiatives which, combined with the benefits from the
2015 third and fourth quarter restructurings, are anticipated to improve
S&A leverage in future quarters. S&A in the 2014 fourth quarter was
$63.0 million, or 29.1 percent of sales.
Tennant's 2015 fourth quarter operating profit was $17.8 million, or 8.6
percent of sales, and $19.7 million, or 9.6 percent of sales as
adjusted, versus an operating profit of $22.6 million, or 10.5 percent
of sales, in the year ago quarter. Due to the strength of the U.S.
dollar in the 2015 fourth quarter, foreign currency exchange rates
reduced operating profit by approximately $3.6 million. Tennant’s
operating profit margin would have been 10.8 percent on an adjusted and
“Constant Currency” basis (excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign
currency exchange). Tennant remains committed to the goal of a 12
percent or above operating profit margin.
New Product and Technology Pipeline
“We
have a strong innovation engine to fuel our revenue growth,” said
Killingstad. “We are excited about Tennant’s new products and
technologies, such as IRIS® and our next generation ec-H2O
NanoClean™. Building on our recent new product additions, we look
forward to introducing at least 13 new products in 2016, including
several significant industrial machine launches.”
In the 2015 fourth quarter, Tennant introduced the IRIS Asset Manager,
an intelligent command center that helps customers drive operational
consistency and reduce the cost to clean. Onboard technology collects
machine usage, ec-H2O usage and machine location information. This data
is available online 24/7 through an easy-to-use portal. The IRIS Asset
Manager is available on many of Tennant’s commercial and industrial
cleaning machines.
The company also recently launched its next generation of sustainable
cleaning technology, ec-H2O NanoClean, on the T300 Walk-Behind Scrubber
and T7 Micro Rider Scrubber. The ec-H2O NanoClean technology is now
available on the company’s applicable commercial scrubbers. The name
NanoClean refers to the creation of nano-scale bubbles that are an
important part of the cleaning mechanism. Like the original ec-H2O, the
next generation ec-H2O NanoClean technology electrically converts water
into an innovative solution that offers the same benefits as the
original, but cleans better, cleans more soils, and is effective in more
applications.
Tennant’s Orbio® os3 also is receiving positive responses
from customers across a variety of industries. The Orbio os3 delivers
on-site generation of an effective multi-surface cleaner and an anti-
microbial solution that meets EPA standards for disinfection and
sanitization.
Tennant continues to execute against the strongest new product pipeline
in its history. In 2015, Tennant introduced 36 new products, including
product variants, on top of 55 new products launched from 2012 to 2014.
The company is committed to being an industry innovation leader and
raising the standard for sustainable cleaning around the world.
2015 Full Year Results
For the
2015 full year, Tennant reported consolidated net sales of $811.8
million compared to a record $822.0 million in 2014. Tennant’s 2015 net
sales were down 1.2 percent versus the prior year, or up 4.3 percent
organically, excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange of
approximately 5.5 percent.
For 2015, Tennant reported net earnings of $32.1 million, or $1.74 per
diluted share. Excluding special items, the company’s 2015 adjusted full
year net earnings were $46.0 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. On a
“Constant Currency” basis (assuming no change in foreign exchange rates
from the prior year), Tennant would have reported 2015 full year record
net sales of $857.1 million and adjusted net earnings of $55.4 million,
or $3.00 per diluted share, up 11.1 percent versus the prior year. In
2014, Tennant reported net earnings of $50.7 million, or $2.70 per
diluted share.
Tennant’s gross margin for the 2015 full year was 43.0 percent, in line
with the company’s target gross margin of 43 percent and up slightly
compared to gross margin in 2014 of 42.9 percent, despite the impact
from foreign currency headwinds.
R&D expense in 2015 was $32.4 million, or 4.0 percent of sales, versus
$29.4 million, or 3.6 percent of sales, in the previous year. S&A
expense in 2015 totaled $252.3 million, or 31.1 percent of sales, and
$248.5 million, or 30.6 percent of sales as adjusted to exclude the $3.7
million pre-tax restructuring charge, compared to $250.9 million, or
30.5 percent of sales, in 2014.
Operating profit in 2015 was $53.2 million, or 6.6 percent of sales, and
$68.1 million, or 8.4 percent of sales as adjusted, versus $72.1
million, or 8.8 percent of sales, in 2014.
Tennant continued to have a strong balance sheet and generated $45.2
million in cash from operations in 2015. Cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 2015, totaled $51.3 million versus $93.0 million in the
prior year, and debt decreased to $24.7 million, down from $28.1 million
at the end of 2014. During 2015, Tennant paid a total of $14.5 million
in cash dividends to shareholders and increased its level of share
repurchases to 764,046 shares of common stock at a cost of $46.0
million. During 2014, Tennant repurchased 225,034 shares of common stock
at a cost of $14.1 million.
Business Outlook
Tennant
Company estimates 2016 full year net sales in the range of $795 million
to $825 million, down 2.1 percent to up 1.6 percent, or approximately
zero percent to up 4 percent organically, assuming an unfavorable
foreign currency exchange impact on sales in the range of 1 percent to 2
percent and a sales decline from the divestiture of approximately 1
percent. The company expects 2016 full year earnings in the range of
$2.25 to $2.55 per diluted share. Foreign currency exchange headwinds in
2016 are estimated to negatively impact operating profit in the range of
$3 million to $6 million, or a negative impact of approximately $0.10 to
$0.20 per diluted share. On a “Constant Currency” basis (assuming no
change in foreign exchange rates from the prior year), 2016 full year
earnings are anticipated to be in the range of $2.35 to $2.75 per share.
The estimated slightly higher effective tax rate in 2016 is also
anticipated to negatively impact earnings per share by approximately
$0.05. The company expects its 2016 financial results to be stronger in
the second half of the year. For the 2015 full year, adjusted diluted
earnings per share totaled $2.49 on net sales of $811.8 million. (See
the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.)
Tennant’s 2016 annual financial outlook includes the following
assumptions:
-
Slower economic growth in North America, modest improvement in Europe
and growth in emerging markets;
-
Continued negative foreign currency impact on sales for the full year
in the range of an unfavorable 1 percent to 2 percent, with a $3
million to $6 million negative effect on operating profit;
-
Decline in sales of approximately 1 percent from the sale of the Green
Machines™ outdoor city cleaning line, and an immaterial impact on
earnings;
-
Gross margin performance of approximately 43 percent;
-
R&D expense of approximately 4 percent of sales, as the company
continues to invest in its core products and in water-based cleaning
technologies;
-
Capital expenditures in the range of $25 million to $30 million; and
-
An effective tax rate of approximately 31 percent.
Commented Killingstad: “While we anticipate foreign currency and global
economic volatility to remain challenging in the coming quarters, we
believe that Tennant is competitively advantaged and positioned to
perform efficiently. We remain committed to reaching our goals of $1
billion in organic sales and a 12 percent operating profit margin.”
