Full-year and Q4’21 GAAP gross margin rose 20 bps and 70 bps, respectively, versus fiscal 2020

Record fiscal 2021 and Q4’21 GAAP EPS of $2.24 and $0.66 up 12% and 32%, respectively

Fiscal 2022 sales forecasted to increase between 5% and 10%; EPS projected at $2.50 to $2.66

MINNEAPOLIS--()--Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (the Company) today reported fiscal 2021 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net earnings of $84.3 million in the fourth quarter and $286.9 million for the full year, compared with $64.2 million and $257.0 million, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2021 GAAP earnings per share (EPS)1 were $0.66 in the fourth quarter and $2.24 for the full year, compared with $0.50 and $2.00, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter, full-year fiscal 2021 adjusted EPS2 were $2.32. The tables attached to this press release include a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

“We achieved record sales and earnings in fiscal 2021, and I am proud of the way Donaldson employees came together to generate strong results while navigating supply chain complexities and continued pressure from COVID-19,” said Tod Carpenter, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “In the past year, we drove year-over-year growth in gross margin, leveraged our expenses while making further investments in strategic growth initiatives, generated strong cash conversion, and returned $249 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our results reflect our focus on strong execution, and I want to thank our employees for putting us in an excellent position for continued success in 2022.

“Our fiscal 2022 forecast implies another year of new records for both sales and profit, and we are acting quickly to address the challenges of today’s operating environment. We are leveraging our global production footprint and strong relationships to mitigate the impact from supplier availability issues, and we raised prices to mitigate the historically high headwind on gross margin from raw materials inflation. Additionally, we will continue to invest in our long-term opportunities by further expanding our technologies and solutions, extending our market access, and pursuing thoughtful acquisitions, particularly in Life Sciences. We again demonstrated we have the right strategy and the right team to achieve our strategic and financial goals as we drive towards our purpose of Advancing Filtration for a Cleaner World.”

Fourth quarter 2021 Engine sales increased 28.1 percent, reflecting strong year-over-year growth in Off-Road, On-Road, and Aftermarket. First-fit sales in both Off-Road and On-Road experienced double-digit year-over-year growth in all major regions. Sales through both the Aftermarket OEM and Independent channels also reported strong sales in all major geographic regions. Engine growth was partially offset by continued softness in Aerospace and Defense primarily due to pandemic-related demand pressure on the commercial aerospace market.

Fourth quarter 2021 Industrial sales increased 19.5 percent, driven primarily by growth in Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS). Sales for dust collection replacement parts continued to experience strong growth, and new equipment sales also increased as market conditions improved. Process Filtration sales were up double-digits due to strong growth in both first-fit and replacement parts. The Gas Turbine Systems (GTS) sales decline reflects lower sales of first-fit products for small turbines and a more modest decline in sales of replacement parts. The Special Applications sales increase was driven by double-digit growth in the Disk Drive business.

Fourth quarter 2021 gross margin increased to 34.4 percent from 33.7 percent in 2020. Gross margin improvement was primarily driven by strong volume leverage and pricing benefits, partially offset by higher raw material costs and unfavorable mix.

Fourth quarter 2021 operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased by 40 basis points to 19.9 percent from 20.3 percent in 2020 primarily due to volume leverage, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense. Operating income as a rate of sales (operating margin) increased to 14.5 percent from 13.4 percent in 2020.

Fourth quarter 2021 interest expense was $3.1 million, compared with $3.9 million in 2020; the decrease of $0.8 million primarily reflects a lower debt level. Other income was $5.0 million in fourth quarter 2021, an increase from $2.7 million in 2020, primarily driven by a tax-related settlement in Brazil. Fourth quarter 2021 effective tax rate increased to 26.0 percent from 21.1 percent in 2020, primarily due to a reduction in net discrete tax benefits.

Donaldson paid fourth quarter 2021 dividends of $27.6 million and repurchased approximately 0.8 percent of its outstanding shares for $63.5 million. For the full fiscal year, Donaldson repurchased 1.9 percent of its outstanding shares for $142.2 million.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Donaldson expects fiscal 2022 GAAP EPS between $2.50 and $2.66, compared with 2021 GAAP and adjusted EPS of $2.24 and $2.32, respectively. Compared with fiscal 2021, 2022 net sales are projected to increase between 5 percent and 10 percent. Currency translation is not expected to have a material impact on sales.

Fiscal 2022 Engine sales are projected to increase between 5 percent and 10 percent, compared with 2021, reflecting strong growth in the first half of fiscal 2022 in On-Road, Off-Road, and Aftermarket, which is expected to moderate in the second half. On-Road sales are projected to be up in the low single-digits as heavy-duty truck build rates are expected to remain at an elevated level. Off-Road sales are projected to increase in the low double-digits due to continued demand strength in the construction, agriculture, and mining end markets, as well as new program wins in Exhaust and Emissions. Engine Aftermarket sales are projected to grow in the mid-single-digits, driven by high equipment utilization rates and continued share gains in under-penetrated markets. Aerospace and Defense sales are expected to increase in the low double-digits, primarily due to the easier comparison with fiscal 2021.

Industrial sales are projected to increase between 6 percent and 11 percent, compared with fiscal 2021, reflecting low double-digit growth in IFS, led by Industrial Air Filtration and Process Filtration, and high single-digit growth in GTS. Special Applications sales are expected to decline in the low single-digit range, primarily driven by expected declines in disk drive filter sales, partially offset by an increase in Integrated Venting Solutions.

Fiscal 2022 gross margin is expected to be flat to down slightly compared to 2021, primarily due to increased raw material costs. The first half of fiscal 2022 is expected to experience more significant gross margin pressure than the second half due to the timing of pricing actions and the comparison to favorable raw material costs in the first half of 2021.

Donaldson expects fiscal 2022 operating margin between 14.1 percent and 14.7 percent, compared with GAAP and adjusted operating margin of 13.5 percent and 14.0 percent, respectively, in 2021. The year-over-year improvement is expected to come primarily from operating expense leverage.

The Company expects fiscal 2022 interest expense of approximately $14.0 million, and other income is forecast between $7.0 million and $11.0 million. Donaldson’s fiscal 2022 effective income tax rate is forecast to be between 24 percent and 26 percent.

The Company expects fiscal 2022 capital expenditures between $100.0 million and $120.0 million, and free cash flow conversion is forecast to be between 80 percent and 90 percent. Donaldson expects to repurchase approximately 2 percent of its outstanding shares during fiscal 2022.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company initiated activities to further improve its operating and manufacturing cost structure, primarily in its EMEA region. These activities resulted in the Company incurring restructuring expenses, including $14.8 million in severance during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Expenses of $5.8 million were included in cost of sales, and $9.0 million were included in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended July 31, 2021. Expenses of $2.5 million relate to the Engine Products segment, $6.5 million relate to the Industrial Products segment, and $5.8 million were included in Corporate and unallocated. The Company expects approximately $8 million in annualized savings from these restructuring activities once completed by the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Note: The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchanges rates and compared these adjusted amounts to its prior period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

Note: Although free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly used measure of a company’s ability to generate cash in excess of its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating earnings less non-cash expenses. The adjusted basis presentation excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjusted basis presentation reflects management’s performance in operating the Company and provides a meaningful representation of the performance of the Company’s core business and is useful to understanding its financial results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is that they do not reflect the Company’s actual results under GAAP. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
