CECO ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Record Revenue, Gross Profits, Gross Margins and EBITDA

Closes Strategic Industrial Air Acquisition

Raises Full Year Outlook

DALLAS (July 30, 2024) -- CECO Environmental Corp. (Nasdaq: CECO) ("CECO"), a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company whose solutions protect people, the environment, and industrial equipment, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2024. In addition, CECO, announces the acquisition of EnviroCare International (ECI), a private designer and supplier of industrial exhaust air contamination treatment and control systems company, based in Northern California.

Second Quarter Summary(1)

Orders of $140.8 million
Backlog of $390.9 million
Revenue of $137.5 million, up 6 percent
Gross profit of $49.0 million, up 23 percent; Gross margins of 35.6 percent, up 480 basis points
Net income of $4.5 million, up 22 percent; non-GAAP net income of $7.4 million, up 42 percent
GAAP EPS (diluted) of $0.12; non-GAAP EPS (diluted) of $0.20, up 33 percent
Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million, up 18 percent
Free cash flow of $2.6 million, down $7.4 million

 

(1) All comparisons are versus the comparable prior year period, unless otherwise stated.

Reconciliations of GAAP (reported) to non-GAAP measures are in the attached financial tables.

 

“We continue to deliver strong results while maintaining our strategic investments and programmatic M&A to advance our operating model as we pursue exciting growth opportunities across industrial air, industrial water and energy transition. During the quarter, we delivered several impressive financial records including our highest second quarter sales, gross profit, adjusted EBITDA dollars, and excellent year-over-year margin expansion,” said CECO’s Chief Executive Officer, Todd Gleason. “Our backlog remains near record levels and our year-to-date book-to-bill remains positive despite continued delays in larger projects and bookings in various energy and industrial markets. We believe the timing of these larger order pursuits to start booking in the second half of this year and continue throughout 2025. Our continued margin expansion coupled with our backlog and record pipeline of almost $4 billion reflect the capabilities and diversity we continue to strategically add to drive sustainable long-term results.”

Second quarter operating income was $9.3 million, up $0.7 million or 8 percent when compared to $8.6 million in the second quarter 2023. On an adjusted basis, non-GAAP operating income was $12.6 million, up $1.2 million or 11 percent when compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net income was $4.5 million in the quarter, up $0.8 million or 22 percent when compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net income was $7.4 million, up $2.2 million or 42 percent when compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million, reflecting a margin of 11.7 percent, was up 18 percent compared to $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Free cash flow in the quarter was $2.6 million, down $7.4 million compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

“We are pleased with our first half results as well as the addition of new leaders and capabilities across our operations and key functions which will drive additional improvements in 2024 and beyond. While bookings and sales have been somewhat hampered by delays in certain projects and customer programs, we have generated significantly more operating cash flow and stronger income conversion on our sales growth so far this year versus previous half years. For example, on approximately $22 million of sales growth year-to-date, we generated approximately $20 million of gross profits and around $6 million of adjusted EBITDA. These tremendous results are being driven by our operational excellence initiatives and our systematic portfolio transformation strategies. Additionally, our disciplined capital allocation approach has maintained a healthy balance sheet while repurchasing $5 million of stock in the first half – including $2 million during the second quarter. We believe our strong backlog and record sales pipeline, along with our ongoing process improvements, puts us in a great position as we enter the second half of the year,” added Gleason.

 

 


Company Completes Acquisition of EnviroCare International and Raises 2024 Full Year Guidance

The Company today announced it has completed the acquisition of EnviroCare International (ECI), based in Northern California. ECI is a leading designer and provider of industrial exhaust air contamination treatment and control systems, solutions and services across a wide range of industrial and municipal applications. Contaminants removed include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), airborne particulates, heavy metals, and acid gases. ECI has been providing its solutions to a wide range of heavy industry for over 40 years. The transaction closed in late July 2024 and ECI is expected to deliver full year 2024 sales of approximately $13 million with mid-teen EBITDA margins. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to the Company’s 2024 full year results, with approximately five months of ECI financials benefiting 2024.

The Company raises its 2024 full year revenue guidance to reflect revenue between $600 and $620 million, up approximately 12 percent at the midpoint of the range, and adjusted EBITDA between $68 to $72 million, up approximately 21 percent year over year, at the midpoint of the range. The updated expected full year guidance compares to the previous outlook for revenues of between $590 to $610 million and adjusted EBITDA of between $67 to $70 million. The Company maintains its full year outlook for free cash flow of 50% to 70% of adjusted EBITDA.

Mr. Gleason concluded, “This marks the second time we have raised guidance since introducing our full year 2024 outlook in November of 2023. I am pleased we continue to deliver on our financial commitments while maintaining investments in organic growth, operational excellence, portfolio transformation, M&A, and talent. We are excited to welcome the ECI team, and well-positioned portfolio of solutions and services to CECO. Like our other successful acquisitions, we expect ECI will benefit from access to our global sales teams and focused investments to drive meaningful growth and operational excellence. In addition to EnviroCare, we continue to have a great pipeline of attractive M&A opportunities under development that align with our programmatic M&A strategy to acquire niche leadership companies that fit our operating model and high-performance culture.”

NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

CECO is providing certain non-GAAP historical financial measures as presented above as we believe that these figures are helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of CECO’s core operations. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's historical financial performance that excludes amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, as we present them in the financial data included in this press release, have been adjusted to exclude the effects of amortization expenses for acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent retention and earnout expenses, restructuring expenses primarily relating to severance and legal expenses, acquisition and integration expenses which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses, foreign currency remeasurement and other nonrecurring or infrequent items and the associated tax benefit of these items. Management believes that these items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and their exclusion provides individuals with additional information to better compare the Company's results over multiple periods. Management utilizes this information to evaluate its ongoing financial performance. Our financial statements may continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of CECO’s results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, CECO cautions investors that non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow stated in the tables above are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

Non-GAAP measures presented on a forward-looking basis were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the reconciliation could not be performed without unreasonable efforts. The GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis because we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include amortization expenses for acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent retention and earnout expenses, restructuring expenses primarily relating to severance and legal expenses, acquisition and integration expenses which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses, foreign currency remeasurement and other nonrecurring or infrequent items and the associated tax benefit of these items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.

 


SAFE HARBOR

Any statements contained in this Press Release, other than statements of historical fact, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, and should be evaluated as such. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and may be included in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and include, but are not limited to: the sensitivity of our business to economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in our service areas; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for revenue; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation as a result of on-going or worsening supply chain challenges; liabilities arising from faulty services or products that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty, or other claims; changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation; failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials, including as a result of tariffs and surcharges, and rising energy costs; inflationary pressures relating to rising raw material costs and the cost of labor; the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with our strategic transactions and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock and the amounts and timing of repurchases, if any; our ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring program; our ability to successfully identify acquisition targets, integrate acquired businesses and realize the synergies from strategic transactions; and the unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including cyber security threats, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities or public health crises, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
