MP MENASHE, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caesarstone Ltd. (NASDAQ: CSTE), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality engineered quartz surfaces, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.
“We continue to make targeted investments in our products, people and brand to improve our global position with customers,” commented Yuval Dagim, Chief Executive Officer. “2020 is off to an encouraging start. We reached an important milestone in our strategy to enter the U.S. big box channel as we recently introduced Caesarstone branded products at all U.S. Home Depot stores. In addition, we debuted our new durable outdoor luxury product line, which marks an exciting evolution of our quartz applications in a relatively underpenetrated market segment. More broadly, we are on pace to launch a range of new models in 2020 that are intended to boost growth initiatives in our global markets. The Global Growth Acceleration Plan that we launched in mid-2019 has already positively impacted our business and allowed us to better deploy resources. I am proud of our team’s efforts and the stronger foundation that we are building through the Plan. These actions, along with the many other projects that we have initiated under the Global Growth Acceleration Plan give us confidence in our ability to accomplish our objectives in 2020.”
Ophir Yakovian, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We were pleased to grow our core U.S. business for the 6th straight quarter and deliver significant cash flow during 2019. Fourth quarter results were below our expectations primarily due to temporary supply chain delays, which we expect to resolve in the coming months. While we expect unfavorable global market dynamics to continue in most of our regions outside the U.S., we enter 2020 with a clear strategy and well-defined plan to mitigate those challenges. We see great long-term potential in our business and plan to increase our capital investments and operating expenses to improve our product reach and to further strengthen our brand. Accordingly, with our inventory now at more normalized levels, we plan to return to full production in all of our factories by the end of the second quarter of 2020 to address customer demand.”
Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $133.9 million compared to $142.9 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, fourth quarter revenue was lower by 5.5% year-over-year. Sales improvement in the Company’s core business in the U.S. and the U.K. was more than offset by softer performance mainly in Australia, Canada and Ikea U.S.
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 26.1% compared to 25.9% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross margin in the fourth quarter was 26.4% compared to 27.5% in the prior year quarter. The decline in adjusted gross margin mainly reflects higher manufacturing unit costs due to lower fixed cost absorption from a reduction in capacity utilization in our Richmond Hill facility, lower average selling prices and foreign exchange headwinds, partly offset by lower raw material costs and more favorable regional mix.
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $0.5 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease mainly reflects lower gross margin and an increase in provision for legal settlements partially offset by lower operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes expenses for share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies and for non-recurring items, was $15.7 million in the fourth quarter, representing a margin of 11.8%. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million, representing a margin of 12.5%, in the prior year quarter.
Finance income in the fourth quarter was $0.6 million compared to finance expenses of $2.1 million in the prior year quarter. The difference was primarily a result of the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the fourth quarter was $0.3 million compared to net income of $1.4 million in the prior year quarter. Diluted net loss per share for the fourth quarter was ($0.01) compared to diluted net income per share of $0.04 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter was $0.16 on 34.6 million shares, compared to $0.20 on a similar share count in the prior year quarter.
Full Year 2019 Results
Revenue in the full year 2019 was $546.0 million compared to $575.9 million in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, 2019 revenue decreased by 3.0% year-over-year mainly due to lower sales in Australia, Canada, Rest of the World region and Ikea U.S., partly offset by sales improvement in the U.S. core business and the U.K.
Gross margin in 2019 was 27.2% compared to 28.4% in the prior year. Adjusted gross margin in 2019 was 27.3%, compared to 28.8% in the prior year. The lower adjusted gross margin mainly reflects increased manufacturing unit costs due to lower fixed cost absorption resulting from lower capacity utilization in our facilities, lower average selling prices and adverse currency exchange impact, partially offset by improved regional mix and improved supply chain efficiencies.
Operating expenses in 2019 were $124.0 million, or 22.7% of revenue, compared to $130.6 million, or 22.7% of revenue in the prior year. Excluding legal settlements and loss contingencies, operating expenses decreased to 20.4% of revenue, compared to 21.1% of revenue in the prior year mainly due to lower marketing and sales expenses combined with lower general and administrative expenses.
Operating income in 2019 was $24.7 million compared to $32.8 million in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes expenses for share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies and for non-recurring items, was $69.0 million in 2019, representing a margin of 12.6%. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of $75.2 million, representing a margin of 13.1%, in the prior year. This year-over-year margin comparison primarily reflects the lower gross margin, partly offset by lower operating expenses.
Finance expenses in 2019 were $5.6 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year. The difference was primarily a result of the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates mainly related to the revaluation of lease liabilities in accordance with the new lease accounting standard.
The Company reported net income attributable to controlling interest for 2019 of $12.9 million compared to net income of $24.4 million in the prior year. Diluted net income per share for 2019 was $0.37 compared to $0.72 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted net income per share for 2019 was $0.77 compared to $1.05 in the prior year.
Balance Sheet
The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 remained strong, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $139.4 million with no financial debts to banks.
Dividend
The Company has revised its dividend policy to provide for a quarterly cash dividend of up to 50% of reported net income attributable to controlling interest on a year-to-date basis, less any amount already paid as dividend for the respective period (the “calculated dividend”), subject in each case to approval by the Company’s board of directors. In the event that the calculated dividend is less than $0.10 per share, no dividend shall be paid. Pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, the Company does not intend to pay a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2019, based on its reported net loss attributable to controlling interest for the period.
Global Growth Acceleration Plan
In the second quarter 2019, the Company began executing its Global Growth Acceleration Plan. The plan is designed to improve operational inefficiencies and reignite growth through a variety of projects and a better alignment of resources. To date, the Company has commenced the execution of identified projects focusing on expanding its selling efforts in key markets, improving production and supply chain efficiency, enhancing its innovative portfolio of premier product offerings, streamlining core processes and implementing a digital transformation within the Company. Beyond currently identified opportunities, the Company will continue to pursue additional avenues to drive efficiencies and to accelerate growth through its multi-year Global Growth Acceleration Plan.
Outlook
The Company anticipates 2020 revenue to be in the range of $550 million to $570 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $69 million to $75 million. The Company’s outlook includes the investment costs associated with its Global Growth Acceleration Plan. The Company expects softer market conditions and a competitive environment to persist in many of its regions in 2020.
