MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 19, 2019--Enerpac Tool Group, which is the doing business name of Actuant Corporation (NYSE: EPAC) (the “Company”), today announced results for its fiscal 2020 first quarter ended November 30, 2019.

“We had a solid start to fiscal 2020 and are pleased to deliver first quarter results consistent with our expectations, as we continue navigating a challenging economic environment. While demand was softer in the Americas, we saw stabilization in Europe along with continued growth in Middle East service and our Cortland business, demonstrating that our initiatives around commercial effectiveness and new product development are contributing to both the top and bottom line,” commented Randy Baker, Enerpac Tool Group’s President and CEO.

Mr. Baker continued, “During the quarter we also delivered on a key step in our strategic plan by completing the EC&S divestiture. The EC&S sale proceeds were used to pay down debt, and we are moving ahead with a strong balance sheet that will provide superior financial flexibility to execute our go-forward strategy as Enerpac Tool Group. We continue to pursue a balanced capital allocation strategy, including returning capital to shareholders through the repurchase of shares.”

Mr. Baker concluded, “Over the past four years we have repositioned the company as a premier pure play tool business and launched Enerpac Tool Group. This past month we announced Judy Altmaier as our newest Board member and I look forward to leveraging her leadership and operations experience. Management and the Board look forward to executing our strategy while continuously examining all options to optimize shareholder value.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations
(US$ in millions)
	Three Months Ended November 30
	2019	2018
Net Sales	$146.7	$158.6
Net Income (Loss)	$6.4	($16.4)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$0.11	($0.27)
Adjusted Earnings Per Share	$0.12	$0.11

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the first quarter were $146.7 million, compared to $158.6 million in the prior year first quarter. Core sales were flat year-over-year, while foreign currency decreased net sales by 1% and divestitures/strategic exits decreased net sales by an additional 6%.
Fiscal 2020 first quarter net income and EPS from continuing operations were $6.4 million and $0.11, respectively, compared to a net loss and EPS from continuing operations of ($16.4) million and ($0.27), respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Fiscal 2020 first quarter earnings from continuing operations included:
- A net impairment and divestiture gain of $1.4 million ($1.1 million, or $0.02 per share after tax);
- Restructuring charges of $2.0 million ($1.8 million, or $0.02 per share after tax), related to the restructuring plan announced in fiscal 2019 and facility consolidations; and
- Accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million, or $0.01 per share after tax) related to the payoff of the term loan.
The fiscal 2019 first quarter net loss from continuing operations included impairment charges of $23.5 million ($23.5 million or $0.38 per share, after tax) related to the held for sale treatment of the Cortland U.S. business, which sale process was terminated.
Excluding restructuring, impairment & divestiture charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.12 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.11 in the comparable prior year period.


Industrial Tools & Services
(US$ in millions)
	Three Months Ended November 30
	2019	2018
Sales	$135.6	$148.7
Operating Profit	$26.1	$26.4
Adjusted Op Profit ⁽¹⁾	$25.9	$26.4
Adjusted Op Profit % ⁽¹⁾	19.1%	17.7%

⁽¹⁾Excludes $1.2 million of restructuring charges, along with $1.4 million of net impairment and divestiture gains in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

First quarter fiscal 2020 net sales were $135.6 million, 9% lower than the prior fiscal year’s first quarter. Core sales decreased 1% year-over-year, while the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and divestitures/strategic exits decreased net sales an additional 1% and 6%, respectively.
The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to continued global economic uncertainty that created additional headwinds.
Adjusted operating profit margin of 19.1% in the quarter was up 140bps year-over-year due to the strategic exit of unprofitable product and service offerings along with savings from fiscal 2019 restructuring actions.

Corporate Expenses and Income Taxes (excluding restructuring items)

Corporate expenses from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $11.3 million, $0.4 million higher than the comparable prior year period, primarily resulting from higher corporate development costs. Corporate costs included $3.0 million and $3.6 million of costs previously allocated to the EC&S segment in the first quarters of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, some of which were partially offset by recovered costs under the EC&S transition services agreement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 recorded in other income.
The first quarter effective income tax rate from continuing operations of approximately 12% was higher than the prior year rate of approximately 2%.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations represent the operating results for the divested EC&S segment for all periods presented up to the October 31, 2019 completion date of the divestiture. The first quarter of fiscal 2020 includes a $4.1 million, after-tax charge related to the closure of the sale of the EC&S segment.

(US$ in millions)
	Period Ended
	November 30, 2019	August 31, 2019	November 30, 2018
Cash Balance	$206.8	$211.2	$203.4
Debt Balance	$286.2	$460.4	$525.4
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA**	0.8	1.7	2.1

Net debt at November 30, 2019 was approximately $79 million (total debt of $286 million less $207 million of cash), which decreased approximately $170 million from the end of fiscal 2019. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 0.8x at November 30, 2019.

**Adjusted EBITDA is calculated for the twelve months then ended.

Outlook

Mr. Baker said, “As we enter the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we continue to focus on growth and cost savings initiatives to drive best in class returns for our shareholders. During the quarter, we completed our previously announced planned exits of low-margin product lines. Through these strategic actions and our other cost saving initiatives, we expect to achieve our targeted EBITDA margin run rate of 20% by the end of the fiscal year. Our full year fiscal 2020 outlook remains unchanged and reflects our view of the year given current geopolitical and economic conditions in our end markets.”

The company re-confirms its outlook for continuing operations for the full year of fiscal 2020:

Net Sales of $575 to $600 million;
Adjusted EBITDA of $94 to $104 million;
Adjusted EPS of $0.68 to $0.81; and
Free cash flow of $50 to $75 million.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we expect:

Net sales of $133 to $140 million;
Adjusted EBITDA of $16.5 to $19.5 million; and
Adjusted EPS of $0.08 to $0.12.

All guidance excludes restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges, accelerated debt issuance costs, one-time tax adjustments and the impact of potential future acquisitions, dispositions, share repurchases and tariffs.

Notes:
(1) Approximately $1.8 million of the Q4 fiscal 2019 restructuring & exit charges were recorded in cost of products sold.
(2) Represents the depreciation and amortization expense true up for the Cortland business assets that were reclassified out of held for sale in Q3 fiscal 2019, as though the assets had never been classified as held for sale.
(3) EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) from continuing operations before financing costs, net, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation & amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), operating profit (loss) or operating cash flows. Actuant has presented EBITDA because it regularly reviews this performance measure. In addition, EBITDA is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

FOOTNOTES
Note: The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual or year-to-date total due to rounding. The continuing operations and discontinued operations earning (loss) per share may not equal total earning (loss) per share due to rounding.
(1) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures are not calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Actuant companies. The total of the individual components may not equal due to rounding and the impact of share dilution on the calculation of the net loss per share and discontinued operations per share.

FOOTNOTES
NOTE:	Management does not provide guidance on GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included above only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
