“Fiscal 2024 marked another record year for RBC and we expect to carry that momentum into fiscal 2025,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Aerospace and Defense segment continued its strong secular growth with revenues expanding 20.7% in the year, and our Industrial segment continued to outpace broader industry trends with notable outgrowth relative to peers. We also delivered healthy margin expansion fueled by operating efficiencies and ongoing Dodge synergies coupled with record levels of free cash flow generation, which was used to further reduce debt to a post-Dodge low. We look to another year of strong free cash flow generation and debt reduction, with the Company poised to finish Fiscal 2025 with net leverage nicely below 2.0x.”

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $413.7 million, an increase of 4.9% from $394.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Net sales for the Industrial segment decreased 0.4%, while net sales for the Aerospace/Defense segment increased 16.8%.

Other operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 totaled $19.7 million compared to $20.7 million for the same period last year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, other operating expenses included $17.7 million of amortization of intangible assets, $2.0 million of restructuring costs and $0.1 million of acquisition costs offset by $0.1 million of other income items. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, other operating expenses included $17.7 million of amortization of intangible assets, $2.5 million of restructuring costs, and $0.5 million of other items.

 

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $94.2 million compared to $86.1 million for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $96.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $88.6 million for the same period last year. Refer to the tables below for details on the adjustments made to operating income to arrive at adjusted operating income.

 

Interest expense, net, was $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $21.7 million for the same period last year.

 

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $12.5 million compared to $11.2 million for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was 16.8% compared to 18.5% for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 30, 2024 of 16.8% included $5.9 million of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation windfalls, a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, and the accrual of deferred tax assets related to state tax modifications; the effective income tax rate without these net benefits would have been 24.7%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended April 1, 2023 of 18.5% included $1.9 million of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation and other items; the effective income tax rate without these benefits would have been 21.7%.

 

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $61.6 million compared to $49.2 million for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $78.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $67.7 million for the same period last year. Refer to the tables below for details on the adjustments made to net income to arrive at adjusted net income. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $55.9 million compared to $43.4 million for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $72.4 million compared to $61.9 million for the same period last year.

 

Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $1.91 compared to $1.49 for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders was $2.47 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $2.13 for the same period last year.

 

Backlog as of March 30, 2024, was $726.1 million compared to $652.1 million as of December 30, 2023 and $663.8 million as of April 1, 2023. The $726.1 million backlog amount excluded $95.4 million of orders that we expected to fulfill beyond 12 months from March 30, 2024; the $652.1 million backlog amount excluded $118.6 million of orders that we expected to fulfill beyond 12 months from December 30, 2023; the $663.8 million backlog amount excluded $95.6 million of orders that we expected to fulfill beyond 12 months from April 1, 2023. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, we will disclose our full backlog for periods presented.

 

Preferred Stock Conversion in Fiscal 2025

 

The Company’s Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock is set to automatically convert on October 15, 2024, at which point the Company will no longer be required to pay a 5.0% dividend ($5.7 million per quarter), which reduces net income attributable to common stockholders.  This will lead to $23.0 million of annual cash savings in future periods. Fiscal 2025 will include the final three quarterly dividend payments.

 

If the preferred stock conversion were to have taken place during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, it would have resulted in an additional 2,029,980 shares of outstanding common stock. If these 2,029,980 shares were added to the total diluted shares outstanding in lieu of the preferred stock quarterly dividend of $5.7 million, diluted EPS for this quarter would have been $1.97 rather than the reported $1.91, and adjusted diluted EPS would have been $2.49 rather than the reported $2.47.

Outlook for the First Quarter Fiscal 2025

 

The Company expects net sales to be approximately $415.0 million to $420.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $387.1 million this year, a growth rate of 7.2% to 8.5%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to disclosing results of operations that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain items. These non-GAAP measures adjust for items that management believes are unusual, as well as other non-cash items including but not limited to depreciation, amortization, and equity-based incentive compensation. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures disclosed in this press release with the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial table attached to this press release.

 

Free Cash Flow Conversion

 

Free cash flow conversion measures our ability to convert operating profits into free cash flow and is calculated as free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) divided by net income.

 

Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Operating Income

 

Adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of restructuring costs associated with the closing of a plant. Adjusted operating income excludes acquisition expenses (including the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase), restructuring and other similar charges, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses. We believe that adjusted operating income is useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

 

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude non-cash expenses for amortization related to acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred finance fees, acquisition expenses (including the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase), restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses, net of their income tax impact. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We use the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to describe net income adjusted for the items summarized in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. In view of our debt level, Adjusted EBITDA aids our investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA, or “net debt leverage,” as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as “incremental margin” in the case of an increase in net sales or “decremental margin” in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and some investors utilize it when making investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the definition used by others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA adds back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur or vary greatly, are difficult to predict, and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times (i) include estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or (ii) exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.
