Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD) today announced fourth quarter results for 2023. Provided below are the highlights:
- Reported sales declined 12% compared with the prior year. In local currency, sales decreased 13% in the quarter as currency increased sales growth by 1%.
- Net earnings per diluted share as reported (EPS) were $8.52, compared with $11.86 in the prior-year period. Adjusted EPS was $9.40, a decrease of 22% over the prior-year amount of $12.10. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to EPS is included on the last page of the attached schedules.
Fourth Quarter Results
Patrick Kaltenbach, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our sales and Adjusted EPS were unfortunately negatively impacted by the previously disclosed shipping delays from our external European logistics provider that we expect to largely recover in Q1 2024. Excluding these delays, our results came in as we had expected as we continued to face challenging market conditions in the fourth quarter. Our team executed very well on our cost control initiatives, and cash flow generation for the quarter and the year was strong.”
GAAP Results
EPS in the quarter was $8.52, compared with the prior-year amount of $11.86.
Compared with the prior year, total reported sales declined 12% to $935.0 million, and were impacted by shipping delays of approximately $58 million with a new external European logistics service provider. By region, reported sales decreased 6% in the Americas, decreased 11% in Europe, and decreased 19% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $232.6 million, compared with $325.0 million in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EPS was $9.40, a decrease of 22% over the prior-year amount of $12.10.
Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency decreased 13% as currency increased sales growth by 1%. By region, local currency sales declined 7% in the Americas, declined 16% in Europe, and declined 18% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $281.8 million, a 21% decrease from the prior-year amount of $358.6 million.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.
Full Year Results
GAAP Results
EPS was $35.90, compared with the prior-year amount of $38.41.
Compared with the prior year, total reported sales declined 3% to $3.788 billion. By region, reported sales were flat in Europe, decreased 1% in the Americas, and decreased 9% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $973.7 million, compared with $1.071 billion in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EPS was $38.03, a decrease of 4% over the prior-year amount of $39.65.
Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency decreased 3% as currency was neutral for the year. By region, local currency sales decreased 1% in the Americas, decreased 2% in Europe, and decreased 5% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $1.152 billion, a 3% decrease from the prior-year amount of $1.192 billion.
Outlook
The Company stated that forecasting remains difficult. Management cautions that market conditions are uncertain and changes to the business environment can occur quickly. There is increased uncertainty in the economic environment today, including the risk of recession in many countries.
Based on today's assessment of market conditions, management anticipates local currency sales for the first quarter of 2024 will decline approximately 4% to 6%, and Adjusted EPS is forecast to be $7.35 to $7.75, a decline of 11% to 15%. Included in the first quarter guidance is an estimated 4% headwind to Adjusted EPS growth due to adverse currency.
For the full year, management anticipates local currency sales in 2024 will increase approximately 1% to 2%, and Adjusted EPS is forecast to be in the range of $39.60 to $40.30, representing growth of approximately 4% to 6%. Included in the full year guidance is an estimated 2% headwind to Adjusted EPS growth due to adverse currency. This compares with previous local currency sales growth guidance of approximately flat and Adjusted EPS guidance of $39.10 to $39.80.
The Company does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and amount of future restructuring and other non-recurring items.
Conclusion
Kaltenbach concluded, “We are preparing for challenging market conditions to persist in the first half of 2024, while also remaining agile to quickly capitalize on growth opportunities and trends towards automation and digitalization, as well as customer investments in faster growth segments. Over the past couple years, we have continued to invest strongly in next-generation products and solutions and have also enhanced our best-in-class corporate programs by launching the next waves of Spinnaker and SternDrive. This will help us further increase our competitiveness and put us in an even more favorable position, especially once our markets pick up again.”
