MINNEAPOLIS--()--Tennant Company (“Tennant”) (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, today reported fourth-quarter and full-year results for 2019.

2019 Full-Year Highlights
For full year 2019, net sales climbed 1.3 percent to $1.14 billion. Excluding the impact of the Company’s Gaomei acquisition and foreign currency, sales increased 2.2 percent on an organic basis, driven primarily by growth in the Americas. Net income for full year 2019 increased to $45.8 million, or $2.48 diluted earnings per share, compared with $33.4 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, in 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude certain non-operational items, increased 33.0 percent to $2.90, compared with diluted earnings per share of $2.18 in 2018. Excluding non-operational items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for full year 2019 rose 13.3 percent to $136.9 million, or 12.0 percent of sales, compared with $120.8 million, or 10.8 percent of sales, in 2018. In 2019, cash flow from operations was $71.9 million and the Company reduced outstanding debt by $41.8 million while paying $16.0 million in cash dividends to shareholders. (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.)

“During 2019, we made meaningful progress in improving our operating model and investing in innovations that deliver real value, like our robotic cleaning machine, the T7 AMR. At the same time, general strength in our Americas business enabled us to offset the effect of macroeconomic challenges in our Europe and Asia Pacific regions,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant Company’s president and chief executive officer. “We believe our 2019 results demonstrate our ability to achieve reasonable growth with enhanced underlying profitability. While we are in the early stages of our operating model improvement plan, we believe the momentum we’ve built will continue to help drive shareholder value through 2020 and beyond.”

Fourth-Quarter Operating Review
In the fourth quarter 2019, Tennant’s consolidated net sales of $294.8 million grew approximately 3.4 percent over the same period last year. This includes a 1.3 percent reduction from foreign currency and a 1.9 percent increase from the acquisition of Gaomei. On an organic basis, sales rose 2.8 percent.

Regional Sales Highlights

  • Americas – Sales in the Americas improved 6.7 percent, or 7.2 percent organically, resulting in the ninth consecutive quarter of organic growth, driven by strength in both North America and Latin America. North America results reflect demand for Tennant’s autonomous cleaning machine, as well as continued growth in service and parts and consumables businesses. Latin America was driven by broad-based strength across the region.
  • EMEASales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region were down 7.2 percent, or 4.2 percent organically, as a result of general weakness in the Europe market.
  • APAC – Sales in the Asia Pacific region increased 15.5 percent, but were down 4.1 percent organically, primarily as a result of slower sales in China that more than offset the growth achieved in all other APAC markets.

Profitability Measures and Related Factors (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table)

  • Gross margin – Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 40.2 percent, compared with 39.3 percent in the year-ago period. Adjusted gross margins in 2019 and 2018 were 40.5 percent and 39.3 percent, respectively, primarily reflecting pricing actions and cost-reduction efforts, which more than offset the negative effect of labor and material inflation.
  • Net Earnings / Adjusted EBITDA – Tennant’s 2019 fourth-quarter net earnings increased to $10.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with $7.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share, excluding non-operational items, were $0.64 compared with $0.54 in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased to $34.0 million, or 11.5 percent of sales, compared with $30.3 million, or 10.6 percent of sales, in the prior year.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation and Other Items
During the fourth quarter of 2019, Tennant generated $25.7 million in cash flow from operations, primarily driven by business performance and reduced inventory levels. The company also reduced outstanding debt by $3.9 million and paid $4.0 million in cash dividends to shareholders during the fourth quarter of 2019.

2020 Business Outlook
“This year we will mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Tennant Company. As we honor our history as a company with a purpose-driven culture and a talent for innovation, we recognize that reinvention has always been a part of the company’s heritage and the key to its longevity. We are looking ahead with a real sense of excitement and anticipation amid the changes we have set in motion with our new enterprise strategy. In 2020, we will remain focused on our three strategic pillars of winning where we have competitive advantage, reducing complexity and building scalable processes, and innovating for profitable growth,” said Killingstad.

For 2020, Tennant provides the following guidance:

  • Net sales of $1.15 billion to $1.16 billion, reflecting organic sales growth of 1.5 to 2.5 percent;
  • Full-year reported GAAP earnings in the range of $3.05 to $3.20 per diluted share;
  • Adjusted EPS of $4.00 to $4.15 per diluted share, which excludes certain non-operational items and amortization expense;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $146 million to $149 million;
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $35 million; and
  • An effective tax rate of approximately 19 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or nonoperational nature (hereinafter referred to as “special items”). Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the company’s results of operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the current, past or future periods. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the company.

We believe that disclosing Gross Profit – as adjusted, Gross Margin – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted, Profit from Operations – as adjusted, Operating Margin – as adjusted, Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted, Income Tax Expense – as adjusted, Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted, Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) – as adjusted, EBITDA Margin – as adjusted and Adjusted EPS (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), excluding the impacts from special items, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use these as one measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

We calculate Gross Profit – as adjusted and Gross Margin – as adjusted by adding back the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up and restructuring charges recorded in Cost of Sales. We calculate Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, and Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted by adding back acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges recorded in S&A, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment and building design costs. We calculate Profit from Operations – as adjusted and Operating Margin – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment and building design costs. We calculate Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment, building design costs and pension curtailment gain. We calculate Income Tax Expense – as adjusted by adding back the tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges and building design costs as well as the acquisition tax adjustment and tax rate legislation and mandatory repatriation. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment, building design costs and pension curtailment gain as well as the acquisition tax adjustment and tax rate legislation and mandatory repatriation. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment, building design costs and pension curtailment gain, as well as the acquisition tax adjustment and tax rate legislation and mandatory repatriation and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We calculate EBITDA – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, inventory step-up, acquisition and integration costs, gain on sale of business, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, note receivable write-down, acquisition contingent consideration adjustment, building design costs, pension curtailment gain, Interest Income, Interest Expense, Income Tax Expense, Depreciation Expense and Amortization Expense to Net Earnings Including Noncontrolling Interest – as reported. We calculate EBITDA Margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by Net Sales.

Starting in the first quarter of 2020, our presentation of Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted (Adjusted EPS) will also add back the per-share impact of after-tax amortization expense. Accordingly, this additional adjustment is reflected in our outlook for Adjusted EPS for fiscal 2020. To provide comparability, we have also provided our Adjusted EPS for fiscal 2019 in accordance with this future presentation below, along with a reconciliation to our current presentation of Adjusted EPS.

Investors should consider these Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or better than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the components of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table to this earnings release.
