SARASOTA, FL, August 9, 2021 — Helios Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology for diverse end markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021. Results include BWG Holdings I Corp. (known as “Balboa Water Group” or “Balboa acquisition”), from the date of its acquisition on November 6, 2020.

Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered excellent results in the quarter on all levels. The Helios team is executing very well on our plans to drive organic growth, generate cash, deliver top tier adjusted EBITDA margins and meet the accelerated goal that we recently outlined at our investor day to achieve $1 billion in revenue two years earlier than planned, by 2023. We believe we are gaining market share as we are providing best in class industry lead times, remaining agile in addressing customer requirements, and accelerating innovative new products. In addition, our manufacturing and operating strategies are gaining traction as we navigate supply chain challenges, material cost increases, and labor shortages to outpace the competition, delight our customers and protect our margins.”

He concluded, “Following the end of the quarter, we successfully closed the NEM acquisition. This acquisition accelerates the electrification of our global hydraulics product offering while leveraging the know-how of our Helios Center of Engineering Excellence. We are also advancing our electronics offering as a systems integrator in select niche markets. We believe our unique market position as a pure play electronics/hydraulics company provides us with competitive advantages as we pursue the many opportunities available to us.”

^1^ Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure.  See comments regarding the use of non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in the tables of this release

Sales

Sales reflected strong demand across all markets, in particular agriculture, construction equipment, recreation, and health & wellness. Results included $60.2 million in sales from acquisitions. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).
Strength in demand across all regions as markets recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
--- ---
Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $6.9 million favorable.
--- ---

Profits and margins

Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit benefitted from increased volume during the quarter. Gross margin was driven by improved leverage on higher volume and manufacturing labor efficiencies. These tailwinds were offset by higher freight and raw material costs given the challenges with global supply chains.  In addition, the business model of the Balboa acquisition has lower gross margins but higher operating margins.
Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: as a percentage of sales, improved 530 basis points to 14.5% compared with the 2020 second quarter and 40 basis points sequentially, reflecting both the business model of the Balboa acquisition and continued cost management initiatives.
--- ---
Amortization of intangible assets: $7.7 million was up from $4.4 million in the prior year reflecting the acquisition.
--- ---

Non-operating items

Net interest expense: $4.4 million in the quarter, up $1.5 million compared with the prior-year period due to higher debt balances.
Effective tax rate: 17.6% compared with 4.7%, or 22.7% excluding certain one-time Italian tax benefits, in the prior-year period.
--- ---

Net income, earnings per share, non-GAAP cash earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA

GAAP net income and earnings per share: $30.7 million and $0.95 per share.

Second Quarter Electronics Segment Review

Higher sales included $60.2 million related to the acquisition. Strong demand from health & wellness and recreational markets drove sales despite headwinds from supply chain constraints.
Gross margin reflects the different business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has lower gross margins that are offset by a lower SEA expense structure.  Additionally, raw material, freight, and logistics costs increased as a result of materials shortages and efforts to meet customer requirements on a timely basis.
--- ---
Operating margin of 21.7% demonstrates the business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has an inherently lower operating expense structure, and higher volume in the organic business. SEA expenses increased due to the incremental expenses from the acquisition.

“believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals also are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guaranteeing future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward‐looking statements include, but are not limited to, (i) conditions in the capital markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of capital; (ii) our failure to realize the benefits expected from the Balboa acquisition, our failure to promptly and effectively integrate the Balboa acquisition and the ability of Helios to retain and hire key personnel, and maintain relationships with suppliers (iii) risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks and similar outbreaks, including, without limitation, the current COVID-19 pandemic, which may among other things, adversely affect our supply chain and material costs and have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows; (iv) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the Company’s revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and increased labor and raw materials costs; and (v) new product introductions, product sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally. Further information relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is included but not limited to information under the heading Item 1. “Business” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021.

This news release will discuss some historical non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful in evaluating its performance. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income recognized in a given period. You should not consider the inclusion of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

This news release also presents forward-looking statements regarding non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s 2021 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Forward-looking Financial Measures: Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP.  Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are important for investors and other readers of Helios’s financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios’s management to better understand operating performance.  Because adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share, as presented, may not be directly comparable with other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and cash net income and cash net income per diluted share disclosed above in our 2021 Outlook, to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods.  When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
