SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2024 SUMMARY

  • Net Sales increased year-over-year to $284.4 million
  • Net Income increased 28% year-over-year to $37.6 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA* increased 4% year-over-year to $82.6 million
  • Diluted EPS increased 31% year-over-year to $0.17 and adjusted diluted EPS* increased 11% year-over-year to $0.21
  • Year-to-date cash flow from operations increased 26% year-over-year to $209.8 million

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) (“Hayward” or the “Company”), a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool and outdoor living technology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024 of its fiscal year 2024. Comparisons are to financial results for the prior-year second fiscal quarter.

CEO COMMENTS

“I am pleased to report second quarter results consistent with expectations,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered record gross margins and increased cash flow through ongoing operational execution and working capital management. This performance enabled us to further strengthen the balance sheet and fund our growth initiatives. During the quarter, we reduced net leverage meaningfully while completing a voluntary early debt repayment and strategic acquisition of ChlorKing, a leader in commercial pool water sanitization. ChlorKing’s innovative technologies and strong customer relationships expand our product offering and improve access to a broader set of customers in this growing market. The economic and interest rate environment remains uncertain, and we are seeing progressively leaner channel inventory positions. However, our team continues to execute at a high level, strengthening Hayward’s leadership position in the pool industry.”

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2024 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales increased modestly to $284.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The modest increase in net sales during the quarter was the result of increases in net price, partially offset by a decline in volume. The decrease in volume resulted from market declines in the Middle East and Asia and lower new construction and remodels in the U.S., partially offset by growth in Europe and Canada.

Gross profit increased by 6% to $145.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross profit margin increased 290 basis points to 51.0%. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to operational efficiencies in our manufacturing facilities and net price increases.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”) increased by 9% to $63.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A was driven by increased warranty, incentive compensation and selling expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 180 basis points to 22.2%, compared to the prior-year period of 20.4%, driven by the factors discussed above. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $6.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, or 2% of net sales, as compared to $6.9 million for the prior-year period, or 2% of net sales.

Operating income increased by 8% to $68.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, due to the aggregated effects of the items described above. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (“operating margin”) was 23.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a 170 basis point increase from the 22.2% operating margin in the prior-year period.

Interest expense, net, decreased by 12% to $16.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due to the repayment of the Incremental Term Loan B principal balance in April 2024 and higher interest income on cash investment balances. Additionally, due to the Company’s voluntary early debt repayment during the quarter, the Company incurred a $4.9 million debt extinguishment loss.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $9.4 million, for an effective tax rate of 19.9%, compared to income tax expense of $13.8 million, for an effective tax rate of 31.9%, for the prior-year period. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the change to the Company’s permanent reinvestment assertion for one jurisdiction during the prior-year period and a tax benefit from a return-to-provision adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Net income increased by 28% to $37.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA* increased to $82.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 from $79.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin* expanded 100 basis points to 29.0%.

Diluted EPS increased by 31% to $0.17 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted diluted EPS* increased by 11% to $0.21 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2024 SEGMENT RESULTS

North America

Net sales increased by 2% to $241.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by net price improvement and volume growth in Canada, partially offset by a modest decline in volume in the U.S. due to lower new construction and remodels.

Segment income increased by 6% to $75.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted segment income* increased by 6% to $81.3 million.

Europe & Rest of World

Net sales decreased by 6% to $43.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decline was primarily due to a decline in volume, partially offset by the favorable impact of net price. The decline in volume is driven primarily by market declines in the Middle East and Asia, partially offset by growth in Europe.

Segment income decreased by 12% to $8.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted segment income* decreased by 11% to $8.6 million.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of June 29, 2024, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $215.1 million and approximately $232.6 million available for future borrowings under its revolving credit facilities. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended June 29, 2024 of $209.8 million was an increase of $43.3 million from the prior-year period. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by greater cash generated by working capital compared to the prior-year period and due to an increase in net income.

OUTLOOK

Hayward is narrowing its full-year 2024 guidance, reflecting better than expected margins offset by a more challenging demand environment, particularly in new construction and remodels and certain international markets. For fiscal year 2024, Hayward now expects net sales of $1.010 billion to $1.040 billion, or an increase of approximately 2% to 5% from fiscal year 2023, including a contribution from the ChlorKing acquisition of approximately 1%, compared to our prior guidance of $1.010 billion to $1.060 billion. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA* of $255 million to $270 million, or an increase of approximately 3% to 9% from fiscal year 2023, compared to our prior guidance of $255 million to $275 million.

The pool industry remains attractive and benefits from sustainable secular demand trends in outdoor living. Hayward continues to leverage our competitive advantages and drive increasing adoption of our leading SmartPad™ pool equipment products both in new construction and the aftermarket, which has historically represented approximately 80% of net sales. Hayward is confident in its long-term outlook for profitable growth and robust cash flow generation, driven by its technology leadership, operational excellence, strong brand and installed base, and multi-channel capabilities.

Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward’s management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “guidance,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward’s 2024 guidance; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; future channel stocking levels; and growth and expansion opportunities. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward’s forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.

Important factors that could affect Hayward’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward’s products to pool owners; impacts on Hayward’s business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic business and weather conditions; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; Hayward’s ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; Hayward’s exposure to credit risk on its accounts receivable, impacts on Hayward’s business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating foreign businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials; Hayward’s ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; its reliance on information technology systems and susceptibility to threats to those systems, including cybersecurity threats, and risks arising from its collection and use of personal information data; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward’s current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; Hayward’s ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; Hayward’s ability to establish, maintain and effectively enforce intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation; Hayward’s ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements and tariffs, or address the impacts of climate change; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on Hayward’s product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic and other events beyond its control; uncertainties related to distribution channel inventory practices and the impact on net sales volumes; Hayward’s ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities; Hayward’s and its customers’ ability to manage product inventory in an effective and efficient manner; and other factors set forth in Hayward’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward’s expectations.

*NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) including adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total segment income, adjusted total segment income, adjusted total segment income margin, adjusted segment income and adjusted segment income margin. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Hayward believes these non-GAAP measures provide analysts, investors and other interested parties with additional insight into the underlying trends of its business and assist these parties in analyzing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short and long-term operating planning, employee incentive compensation, and debt compliance. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, segment income or other measures of profitability, performance or financial condition under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of full fiscal year 2024 adjusted EBITDA outlook to the comparable GAAP measure is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA outlook for full year 2024 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of this measure in the appendix.
