Ecolab Delivers Continued Strong Performance in the Second Quarter; Reported Diluted EPS $1.71; Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.68, +35%; Increased 2024 Adjusted Diluted EPS Outlook: $6.50 - $6.70, +25% - 29%

Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL):

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Reported sales $4.0 billion, +3% versus last year, including a 1% headwind from unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Organic sales +4% as Institutional & Specialty segment sales growth normalized to a strong +7% as expected. The segment lapped last year’s very strong pricing delivery. Performance across the Pest Elimination, Industrial and Healthcare & Life Sciences segments all improved.
  • Reported operating income margin 16.5%. Organic operating income margin 17.0%, +360 bps as lower supply chain costs, value pricing, and volume growth more than offset growth-oriented investments in the business.
  • Reported diluted EPS $1.71, +49%. Adjusted diluted EPS, excluding special gains and charges and discrete tax items were $1.68, +35%.
  • Second quarter cash flow from operating activities $611 million; free cash flow increased to $414 million.

OUTLOOK

  • 2024: Increased full year 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share range to $6.50 - $6.70, +25% - 29%, from prior $6.40 - $6.70 range.
  • 3Q 2024: Expect third quarter 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $1.75 - $1.85 range, +14% - 20%.

CEO Comment

Christophe Beck, Ecolab’s chairman and chief executive officer, said, “We delivered another quarter of strong performance consistent with our expectations. Our global team executed very well to drive continued good sales growth and exceptional organic operating income margin expansion. Organic sales growth remained in its expected 4-5% range as growth within our Institutional & Specialty segment normalized to a strong 7% as we lapped last year’s robust pricing delivery. Performance across the rest of our segments progressed further. Good new business wins were enabled by our breakthrough innovations and continued investments in sales firepower, digital technologies and service capabilities. Our strong value pricing was driven by continued total value delivery to customers. This great fundamental performance, along with moderately favorable delivered product costs, helped to deliver very strong operating income margin expansion and earnings per share growth.

“Going forward, we expect to continue to outperform soft macroeconomic trends around the world as we focus on capturing additional market share by enhancing our customers’ business outcomes and operational performance while reducing their water and energy consumption. To further fuel our growth, we are excited to launch our One Ecolab initiative, which will further harness our leading digital technologies and global service capabilities to deliver best-in-class total customer value, unlock significant enterprise selling opportunities, and drive improved operational performance. With very strong first half results and great momentum heading into the second half, we are confident in delivering strong performance in 2024.”

Second Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results

Ecolab’s second quarter reported sales increased 3% and organic sales increased 4% when compared to the prior year.

Second quarter 2024 reported operating income increased 36% including the impact of special gains and charges, which were a net charge primarily related to restructuring and professional service fees associated with the sale of our global surgical solutions business. Organic operating income increased 32%, as lower supply chain costs, value pricing, and volume growth more than offset growth-oriented investments in the business.

Reported other income in the second quarter of 2024 decreased slightly while reported interest expense was stable versus the prior year.

The reported income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 16.2% compared with the reported rate of 20.6% in the second quarter of 2023. Excluding special gains and charges and discrete tax items, the adjusted tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 19.5% compared with the adjusted tax rate of 19.9% in the second quarter of 2023.

Reported net income increased 49% versus the prior year. Excluding the impact of special gains and charges and discrete tax items, adjusted net income increased 35% versus the prior year.

Reported diluted earnings per share increased 49% versus the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 35% when compared against the second quarter of 2023.

Currency translation had a $0.04 unfavorable impact on earnings per share in the second quarter of 2024.

Ecolab repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock during the second quarter of 2024.

The Industrial segment includes Water, Food & Beverage, and Paper 

Organic sales growth improved further to 2%, driven by accelerating Water sales growth. Water’s performance was led by strong growth in downstream and light water, where global high-tech continues to grow double-digits. As expected, stable Food & Beverage sales reflected good new business wins, which offset comparisons to last year’s very strong double-digit growth. While Paper sales were also stable versus last year, performance continued to improve sequentially as good new business offset soft but stable customer demand. Organic operating income increased 18% as lower delivered product costs and value pricing were partially offset by continued investments in the business.

Organic sales were stable as better growth in Life Sciences offset modestly lower Healthcare sales. Life Sciences’ improved performance was driven by good new business wins, which continued to overcome soft short-term industry trends. Modestly lower sales in Healthcare reflected strategic low margin business exits as we continue to execute Healthcare’s business transformation. Organic operating income increased 2% as value pricing overcame continued targeted investments in the business.

One Ecolab Initiative

Ecolab is adding more fuel to its growth and margin expansion journey by launching One Ecolab. This initiative will leverage our vast and existing portfolio of digital technologies as well as new artificial intelligence solutions by harnessing the value of over 100,000 system connections and billions of proprietary data points.

As we help millions of customers in 40 industries and more than 170 countries to deliver the best outcomes at the best possible operating performance by reducing water and energy usage, we know what best-in-class performance is and how to deliver it. This will help us deliver attractive growth by continuing to capture more share of our existing $55 billion cross-sell opportunity.

At the same time, these new digital technologies will allow us to enhance the way we operate and serve our customers by realigning the functional work done in many countries into global centers of excellence. The resulting total annualized savings of approximately $140 million are expected to be realized by 2027.

As part of this program, Ecolab expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $225 million by the end of 2027.

Business Outlook

2024

Ecolab expects full year 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share to improve further to the $6.50 to $6.70 range, rising 25% to 29% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.21 in 2023. As previously discussed, this range includes an unfavorable impact in the second half of 2024 from the sale of Ecolab’s global surgical solutions business. The transaction is expected to close very soon, and the unfavorable impact to 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share is now estimated to be $0.08 per share. This forecast assumes soft but stable macroeconomic demand and favorability from delivered product costs that eases through the third quarter of 2024, though the impact of global inflation remains hard to predict.

Ecolab expects continued solid sales growth, driven by value pricing and new business gains. The company also expects to leverage this growth with attractive organic operating income margin expansion, driven by robust increases in gross margin. Good underlying productivity is expected to be offset in the short-term by growth-oriented investments in the business to fuel Ecolab’s long-term performance. With these investments, SG&A expense in the second half of the year is anticipated to be similar to first half levels. Ecolab expects quarterly adjusted diluted earnings per share growth to progressively normalize towards the company’s long-term 12-15% target as solid growth continues and impacts from delivered product costs are anticipated to normalize exiting 2024.

The company currently expects quantifiable special charges in 2024 to be approximately $0.25 per share, principally related to restructuring charges. This does not include the expected gain on the sale of the company’s global surgical solutions business. Other than the special gains and charges noted above, other such amounts are not currently quantifiable.

2024 – Third Quarter

Ecolab expects third quarter 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $1.75 to $1.85 range, rising 14% to 20% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.54 a year ago.

The company currently expects quantifiable special charges in the third quarter of 2024 to be approximately $0.08 per share, principally related to restructuring charges. This does not include the expected gain on the sale of the company’s global surgical solutions business. Other than the special gains and charges noted above, other such amounts are not currently quantifiable.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains certain statements relating to future events and our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “we believe,” “we expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” (including the negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding macroeconomic conditions, delivered product costs, and demand; our financial and business performance and prospects, including sales, earnings, special charges, margins, pricing, productivity, investments and new business; the opportunities, savings and charges associated with the One Ecolab Initiative; and the expected timing, likelihood of completion and impact of the sale of the global surgical solutions business, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory clearance of the proposed transaction, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement, the inability to consummate the proposed transaction due to the failure to satisfy other closing conditions, risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current operations and the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed transaction. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this news release. In particular, the ultimate results of any restructuring initiative depend on a number of factors, including the development of final plans, the impact of local regulatory requirements regarding employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the restructuring initiatives and the level of success achieved through such actions in improving competitiveness, efficiency and effectiveness.

Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect operating results and business performance are set forth under Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K, and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and include the impact of economic factors such as the worldwide economy, interest rates, foreign currency risk, reduced sales and earnings in our international operations resulting from the weakening of local currencies versus the U.S. dollar, demand uncertainty, supply chain challenges and inflation; the vitality of the markets we serve; exposure to global economic, political and legal risks related to our international operations, including geopolitical instability and the escalation of armed conflicts; our ability to successfully execute organizational change and management transitions; information technology infrastructure failures or breaches in data security; difficulty in procuring raw materials or fluctuations in raw material costs; the occurrence of severe public health outbreaks not limited to COVID-19; our ability to acquire complementary businesses and to effectively integrate such businesses; our ability to execute key business initiatives; our ability to successfully compete with respect to value, innovation and customer support; pressure on operations from consolidation of customers or vendors; restraints on pricing flexibility due to contractual obligations and our ability to meet our contractual commitments; the costs and effects of complying with laws and regulations, including those relating to the environment, climate change standards, and to the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and use of our products, as well as to the conduct of our business generally, including labor and employment and anti-corruption; potential chemical spill or release; our commitments, goals, targets, objectives and initiatives related to sustainability; potential to incur significant tax liabilities or indemnification liabilities relating to the separation and split-off of our ChampionX business; the occurrence of litigation or claims, including class action lawsuits; the loss or insolvency of a major customer or distributor; repeated or prolonged government and/or business shutdowns or similar events; acts of war or terrorism; natural or man-made disasters; water shortages; severe weather conditions; changes in tax laws and unanticipated tax liabilities; potential loss of deferred tax assets; our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with covenants that apply to our indebtedness; potential losses arising from the impairment of goodwill or other assets; and other uncertainties or risks reported from time to time in our reports to the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release and certain of the accompanying tables include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

These non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • fixed currency sales
  • organic sales
  • adjusted cost of sales
  • adjusted gross profit
  • adjusted gross margin
  • fixed currency operating income
  • adjusted operating income
  • adjusted fixed currency operating income
  • adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
  • organic operating income
  • organic operating income margin
  • adjusted tax rate
  • adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab
  • adjusted diluted earnings per share
  • free cash flow

We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted tax rate, adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab and adjusted diluted earnings per share further exclude the impact of discrete tax items. We include items within special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results. After tax special (gains) and charges are derived by applying the applicable local jurisdictional tax rate to the corresponding pre-tax special (gains) and charges.

We evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency rates of foreign exchange, which eliminate the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2024. We also provide our segment results based on public currency rates for informational purposes.

Our reportable segments do not include the impact of intangible asset amortization from the Nalco and Purolite transactions or the impact of special (gains) and charges as these are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for organic sales, organic operating income and organic operating income margin are at fixed currency and exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges, the results of our acquired businesses from the first twelve months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the twelve months prior to divestiture. In addition, as part of the separation, we also entered into an agreement with ChampionX to provide, receive or transfer certain products for a transitionary period. Transitionary period sales of product to ChampionX under this agreement are recorded in product and equipment sales in the Corporate segment along with the related cost of sales. The remaining sales to ChampionX are recorded in product and equipment sales in the Global Industrial segment along with the related cost of sales. These transactions are removed from the consolidated results as part of the calculation of the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash outlays for capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. It should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe free cash flow is meaningful to investors as it functions as a useful measure of performance and we use this measure as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend that investors view these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this news release. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures are included in the following "Supplemental Non-GAAP Reconciliations" and “Supplemental Diluted Earnings per Share Information” tables included in this news release.

We do not provide reconciliations for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis (including those contained in this news release) when we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact reported earnings per share and the reported tax rate, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to adjusted earnings per share and the adjusted tax rate. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

As shown in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above, we evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency exchange rates, which eliminate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international operations. Amounts shown in the “Public Currency Rates” tables above reflect amounts translated at actual public average rates of exchange prevailing during the corresponding period and are provided for informational purposes. The difference between the fixed currency exchange rates and the public currency exchange rates is reported as “Currency impact” in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above.
