SARASOTA, FL, November 8, 2021 — 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 third quarter ended October 2, 2021. Results include the acquisitions of BWG Holdings I Corp. (known as “Balboa Water Group” or “Balboa acquisition”), on November 6, 2020, and NEM S.r.l. (“NEM”) on July 9, 2021.

Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continue to outperform the market due to excellent execution by the Helios team. Our consistent strong results are driven by our strategic initiatives to protect our business, leverage our manufacturing footprint, advance our innovation pipeline and diversify our markets. We are mitigating the challenges related to material shortages while protecting our margins with our manufacturing strategy. As a result, we have been able to hold our lead times and gain market share because of our ability to deliver. In fact, we furthered our ‘in the region for the region’ approach with the acquisition of assets of Joyonway in October. This is a fast-growing developer of control panels, software, systems and accessories for the health and wellness industry that operates in two locations in China, which are in the hub of electronics and software development for that country.”

He concluded, “Through all of this, we are staying true to our focus as a pure electronics and hydraulics business that delivers high-quality innovative products to our customers. We are evolving and leveraging our businesses to bring more unified system solutions to the market. We have expanded our engineering capacity and are developing additional internal capabilities to ‘make versus buy’ and remain focused on continuing to create value for our customers.”

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 reflected strong demand across all markets, in particular agriculture, construction equipment, recreation and health & wellness. Results included $63.8 million in sales from acquisitions. (See the table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter). In addition, the Company experienced strong organic sales growth of $36.9 million, 30.1%, compared with the prior-year period.

 Strength in demand across all regions as markets recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Foreign currency translation adjustment on sales: $1.1 million favorable.

Profits and margins

 Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit benefitted from increased volume during the quarter. Gross margin declined by 210 basis points compared with the prior-year period, as manufacturing labor efficiencies and improved leverage of our fixed cost base on the higher sales were offset by increases in logistics and raw material costs. 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 490 basis points to 14.7% compared with the 2020 third quarter, reflecting both the business model of the Balboa acquisition and continued cost management initiatives.

 Amortization of intangible assets: $7.4 million was up from $4.6 million in the prior year reflecting the Company’s acquisitions.

Non-operating items

 Net interest expense: $3.8 million in the quarter, up $1.1 million compared with the prior-year period due to higher debt balances.

 Effective tax rate: 25.5% compared with 20.7% in the prior-year period due to a reduction in available tax incentives and increased earnings in higher tax jurisdictions such as Italy, Germany, and Australia.

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

 GAAP net income and earnings per share: $27.8 million and $0.86 per share.

 Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $1.07 compared with $0.53 last year due to strong demand, operational efficiencies, and better-than-expected performance of the Balboa acquisition.

 Adjusted EBITDA margin: improved 170 basis points to 25.1% compared with the prior-year period due to higher volume and operational efficiencies.

 Amortization of intangible assets: increased $12.0 million to $25.3 million from the prior year reflecting the Balboa acquisition.

 GAAP net income and earnings per share: $81.0 million and $2.51 per share.

 Non-GAAP cash earnings per share: $3.26 compared with $1.64 in the prior-year period driven by strong demand, operational efficiencies and strong performance of the Balboa acquisition.

All values are in US Dollars.

Third Quarter Electronics Segment Review

 Higher sales included $59.0 million related to the acquisition of Balboa. Strong demand from health and wellness and recreational markets drove sales, partially offset by 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 20.5% demonstrates the business model of the Balboa acquisition, which has an inherently lower operating expense structure and higher volume than the organic business. SEA expenses increased due to the incremental expenses from the acquisition.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

 Total debt at quarter-end was $471.2 million compared with $462.4 million at January 2, 2021.

 Cash and cash equivalents at October 2, 2021 were $47.7 million, up $22.5 million from the end of 2020.

 Inventory increased $37.8 million from the end of 2020 as the Company continues to purchase parts ahead of material shortages.

 Pro-forma net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.0x at the end of the third quarter 2021 compared with 3.0x (pro-forma for Balboa and NEM) at the end of 2020, further demonstrating the Company’s ability to rapidly de-lever the balance sheet following an acquisition. At the end of the third quarter 2021, the Company had $120.9 million available on its revolving lines of credit.

 Net cash provided by operations was $32.5 million in the third quarter 2021 compared with $36.7 million in the prior-year period.

 Capital expenditures were $6.7 million in the quarter. The Company expects to spend between$25 to $27 million in capital investments in 2021.

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, material costs, and work force and may 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.
