AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 5, 2021 / Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:THR) ("Thermon"), a global leader in industrial process heating solutions, today announced consolidated financial results for the first quarter ("Q1 2022") of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 ("Fiscal 2022"). Key highlights for Q1 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 ("Q1 2021") include:

  • Revenue of $71.2 million versus $56.8 million in Q1 2021, an increase of $14.4 million, or 25%
  • Gross margin of 39.6%, as compared to 42.4% in Q1 2021
  • GAAP Net Income of $0.9 million as compared to a Net Loss of $(6.1) million in Q1 2021
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million versus $1.4 million in Q1 2021, an increase of $8.3 million or 593%
  • Fully diluted GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.03 and Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS of $0.07

"Our Fiscal 2022 is off to a strong start, with growth in both revenue and operating profit. We are seeing an increase in customer maintenance spending, specifically in the Western Hemisphere. We are excited to announce we recently received the first order for our Genesis Network technology, and we continue to invest in our diversification and developing market strategic initiatives. While manufacturing costs and large project shipments negatively impacted our gross margins this quarter, the global team continues to diligently manage our base costs, resulting in significant operating leverage to start the year," said Bruce Thames, Thermon's President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "While we believe the recovery from the ongoing pandemic will unfold at different speeds in different regions, we are encouraged by the demand growth we are seeing in our end markets. Due to an acceleration of the recovery in spending, we are raising our full-year Fiscal 2022 revenue guidance to $293-308 million."

Q1 2022 Net income/(loss) and EPS were $0.9 million and $0.03, respectively, compared to Net income/(loss) and EPS of $(6.1) million and $(0.18), respectively, for Q1 2021. After taking into account the impact of restructuring, the benefit from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (the "CEWS"), the tax expense for impact of foreign rate increases, and intangible amortization related to prior acquisition activities (see table, Reconciliation of Net Income/(Loss) to Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Adjusted EPS), Thermon generated Adjusted Net Income in Q1 2022 of $2.4 million and Adjusted EPS of $0.07 compared to $(3.5) million and $(0.11), respectively, in Q1 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million in Q1 2022 as compared to $1.4 million in Q1 2021, an increase of $8.3 million, or 593% (see table, Reconciliation of Net Income/(Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA). Cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million as compared to $3.4 million in Q1 2021, a decrease of $0.9 million.

As of June 30, 2021, Thermon had $147.9 million of gross outstanding debt and $41.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, representing net debt of $106.8 million. Based on Thermon's trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, our Net Debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was 2.4x as of June 30, 2021.

Additional Information

Backlog was $115.8 million as of June 30, 2021, representing a $5.9 million increase, or 5%, as compared to Q1 2021 backlog of $109.9 million. Orders in Q1 2022 were $72.4 million versus $60.6 million in Q1 2021, an increase of $11.8 million, or 19%.

During Q1 2022, new facility construction (or "Greenfield") and facility maintenance, repair and operations and upgrade or expansion (or "MRO/UE") activity from our legacy heat tracing business accounted for 35% and 65% of revenue, respectively, which compares to 32% and 68%, respectively, in Q1 2021.

Outlook

For our Fiscal 2022, we are raising our previous guidance, and now expect revenue will be approximately $293-308 million. We will continue to prioritize our capital allocation towards optional debt repayments in the near term and target a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 1.5x - 2.0x in the next twelve months.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Disclosure in this release of "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA margin" and "Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)" which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are intended as supplemental measures of our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). "Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)" and "Adjusted EPS" (or "Adjusted fully diluted EPS") represent net income/(loss) before the tax benefit from income tax rate reductions in certain foreign jurisdictions, amortization of intangible assets, the income tax effect on any non-tax adjustments, costs associated with our restricting and other income/(charges), and income related to the CEWS per fully-diluted common share in the case of Adjusted EPS. "Adjusted EBITDA" represents net income/(loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, costs associated with our restructuring and other income/(charges), and income related to the CEWS. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. "Free Cash Flow" represents cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, net of sales of rental equipment and proceeds from sales of land and buildings.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Net Income/(Loss). Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, income from operations, net income/(loss), net income/(loss) per share and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. We provide Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For a description of how Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) are calculated and reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures, see the sections of this release titled "Reconciliation of Net Income/(Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of Net Income/(Loss) to Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Adjusted EPS" and "Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow."

In addition, our business and operations involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could result in our expectations not being realized or otherwise materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this release ultimately prove to be accurate.

Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required to do so under applicable securities laws.
