• 2022 outlook reaffirmed, factoring in foreign currency exchange rates and macroeconomic conditions, expecting lower end of revenue and earnings ranges; Remain on path to achieve strategic goal of at least $1 billion in revenue by 2023

SARASOTA, FL, August 8, 2022 — Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: 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 2, 2022.

Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The Helios team brought its ‘A’ game once again to deliver a solid quarter against rapidly evolving macroeconomic conditions. We are making great strides with all our strategic pillars to leverage our global footprint as we closer align certain manufacturing processes geographically. These moves provide greater efficiencies by building ’in the region for the region’, to reduce logistics costs and provide a natural currency hedge contributing to our ability to protect our margins. It also creates greater operating leverage as we maximize facilities, take advantage of best practices, and gain further efficiencies from operational overhead.”

He went on to say, “Longer term, we continue to position ourselves extremely well through our differentiated new product innovations and enhancements to our team to create aggressive go-to-market approaches focused on system sales partnering with the Helios Center for Engineering Excellence (HCEE). We still see strong demand in various markets driven by our product innovations, while other markets and regions are being affected by macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical issues. Our focus on providing systems and solutions that solve our customers most pressing requirements gives us a prime leadership position through all market conditions. Market and geographic diversity also provide us a degree of stability in uncertain conditions.” He concluded, “We recently closed on the Taimi R&D, Inc. flywheel acquisition and given our solid balance sheet and significant financial flexibility, we continue to identify more opportunities to leverage our expertise as a pure play in hydraulics and electronics to build a lasting, growing enterprise with significant earnings power.”

See the attached tables for additional important disclosures regarding Helios’s use of non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, non-GAAP cash net income, non-GAAP cash earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other charges) and adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales) as well as reconciliations of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP adjusted operating income and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and GAAP net income to non-GAAP cash net income, non-GAAP cash earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Helios believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the non-GAAP measures described above help improve the understanding of its operating performance.

Sales

• Sales in several end markets improved over the second quarter of 2021, with the industrial machinery, mobile equipment and recreational end markets leading the growth, while the health and wellness end market started to contract. Sales included $6.6 million in revenue from acquisitions. Organic growth in the quarter was 5%. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).

• Organic sales improved in the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") regions compared to the second quarter of 2021; meanwhile, organic sales for the Asia Pacific ("APAC") region declined from softening demand for electronics products as well as government actions to lockdown operations due to COVID-19, all excluding effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

• Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $7.5 million unfavorable.

Profits and margins

• Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit was comparable with the prior-year period although changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the second quarter of 2021 reduced gross profit by $2.2 million. Gross margin declined by 270 basis points, driven by higher raw material costs partially offset by the impact of price increases.

• Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: as a percentage of sales, decreased 100 basis points to 13.5% compared with the 2021 second quarter. Improved leverage of our SEA level fixed cost base on the higher sales volume coupled with the benefits we are capturing from our operating strategies led to the favorable result.

• Amortization of intangible assets: $6.8 million down from $7.7 million in the prior year reflecting timing related to the Company’s acquisitions.

Non-operating items

• Net interest expense: $3.8 million in the quarter, down $0.6 million compared with the prior-year period due to lower debt balances.

• Effective tax rate: 22.5% compared with 17.6% in the prior-year period reflecting levels of income in varying tax jurisdictions and the 2021 rate benefited from the resolution of transfer pricing disputes.

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

• GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share: $30.0 million and $0.92 per share.

• Diluted Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $1.18 compared with $1.20 last year, due to margin contraction related to rising material costs along with a higher tax rate.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin: maintaining top-tier levels at 24.4% during inflationary environment, nearly flat sequentially.

Sales

• Sales were driven by strong demand regionally in the Americas and solid growth in EMEA offset by declines in Asia. End market demand saw strength in industrial, mobile, construction equipment and recreation. Results included $13.8 million in sales related to acquisitions. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).

Profits and margins

• Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased 5% to $166.0 million compared with the same period of 2021 from pricing and increased sales volumes. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the first six months of 2021 reduced year-to-date gross profit by $3.9 million. Gross margin declined 240 basis points driven by higher raw material costs partially offset by the impact of price increases.

• SEA expenses: 13.8% as a percentage of sales, improving 90 basis points compared with the prior-year period, reflecting improved leverage of our fixed cost base on the higher sales and continued cost containment initiatives.

• Amortization of intangible assets decreased $4.1 million to $13.8 million from the prior year reflecting timing related to the Company’s acquisitions.

Non-operating items

• Net interest expense: $1.6 million decrease to 7.6 million compared with the prior-year period reflecting lower debt balances.

• Effective tax rate: 22.4% compared with 20.1% in the prior-year period reflecting levels of income in varying tax jurisdictions and the 2021 benefit from the resolution of transfer pricing disputes.

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

• GAAP net income and earnings per share: $60.5 million and $1.86 per share, up 13%.

• Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $2.35 compared with $2.18 in the prior-year period, up 8% driven by strong demand across several regions and markets and operational efficiencies being achieved through execution of the manufacturing and operating strategies.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin: maintaining top-tier levels at 24.5% while down 90 basis points compared with the prior-year period due to inflationary environment.

Second Quarter Hydraulics Segment Review

• Sales increased 7% to $142.8 million (13% in constant currency), driven by demand in the Americas and EMEA regions, which offset a slight decline in the APAC region. Higher sales were driven by improved demand in industrial and mobile equipment markets partially offset by supply chain constraints. Foreign currency exchange rates had a $7.0 million unfavorable adjustment on sales.

• Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit decreased $1.4 million, or 3%, compared with the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange. Gross margin reflects the impact of material cost increases, product mix and labor cost increases from higher wages and overtime.

• Operating income decreased $1.2 million, or 4%, while operating margin of 21.8% declined 250 basis points reflecting the flow through of gross margin partially offset by fixed cost leverage on higher sales and cost management.

All values are in US Dollars.

Second Quarter Electronics Segment Review

• Sales increased 9% to $98.9 million (10% in constant currency), with higher demand in the Americas and EMEA offsetting a decline in the APAC region. Higher sales were driven by improved demand in recreational and industrial machinery markets partially offset by supply chain constraints and a softening health and wellness market. Foreign currency exchange rates had a $0.5 million unfavorable adjustment on sales.

• Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $1.6 million, or 5%, compared with the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to sales volume and pricing. Gross margin declined 130 basis points to 33.2%, reflecting increases in raw material.

• Operating income increased $0.7 million to $20.3 million, or 4%, while operating margin declined 120 basis points to 20.5% reflecting flow through of gross margin offset by fixed cost leverage on higher sales and cost management.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

• Total debt at quarter-end was $419.1 million compared with $438.1 million at end of the first quarter of 2022. For the six-month period, repayments, net of borrowings, on our credit facilities amounted to $16.8 million.

• Cash and cash equivalents at July 2, 2022 were 41.3 million, up $8.3 million from the end of the first quarter of 2022, and up $12.8 million from the end of 2021.

• Inventory decreased $1.4 million to $178.9 million from the first quarter of 2022 but remained 8% higher than the end of 2021 driven by the macro issues in the supply chain. These issues include the Company purchasing parts ahead of material shortages, holding some inventory for past due orders where one or two components have been delayed in the supply chain, along with customers changing shipping schedules once the Company has already manufactured the products.

• Pro-forma net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA declined to 1.68x at the end of the second quarter of 2022 (pro-forma for NEM and Joyonway) compared with 1.89x (pro-forma for the NEM and Balboa acquisitions) at the end of 2021, further demonstrating the Company’s ability to de-lever the balance sheet. At the end of second quarter 2022, the Company had $174.2 million available on its revolving lines of credit.

• Net cash provided by operations was $29.5 million in the second quarter 2022 compared with $34.4 million in the prior-year period, bringing the six-month cash flow from operations to $44.2 million compared with $49.5 million for the comparable period in 2021.

• Capital expenditures were $7.9 million in the second quarter 2022, or approximately 3% of sales. This compares with $5.3 million, or approximately 2% of sales, in the year-ago period.

• Paid 102nd sequential quarterly cash dividend on July 20, 2022.

2022 Outlook

The Company reaffirms its expectations for 2022, which assumes constant currency using quarter end rates. Factoring in foreign currency exchange rates and macroeconomic conditions, expecting lower end of revenue, adjusted EBITDA, earnings and capex ranges and higher end of effective tax rate range based on expected regional mix.

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.

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 2022 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.
