Third quarter 2022 was all-time record backlog, sales, reported gross margin, reported operating income, reported non-diluted EPS and adjusted non-diluted EPS, amongst numerous other historical records within the business.
Our third quarter 2022 orders of $729.4 million (second highest in our history with our top three quarters all occurring in 2022) contributed to our eighth consecutive quarter of record backlog ($2,254.1 million); backlog is 104% higher than one year ago and sequentially 15% higher than the second quarter 2022, which was our highest order quarter in our history. Both Heat Transfer Systems (“HTS”) and Specialty Products have record backlogs as of the third quarter 2022. Additionally, all three of quarters in 2022 to date have had book-to-bill ratios above 1.8, which is a contributor to our outlook for 2023 sales to grow between 23% and 30% year-over-year over.
We posted record sales of $412.1 million (an increase of 25.5% versus prior year) in the quarter, which were negatively impacted by foreign exchange (“FX”) headwinds primarily in our Cryo Tank Solutions (“CTS”) segment and as is typical between quarters, project timing movements related to liquefaction projects in Specialty Products. We estimate that foreign exchange headwinds had a $17 million negative impact on sales, with the U.S. dollar appreciating versus the Euro and the Indian Rupee. Note that we do not addback or adjust for foreign exchange impacts in our adjusted EPS. In addition to our total record sales, we set sales records in the quarter for mobile equipment, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, systems, space exploration, L.A. Turbine’s aftermarket and VRV.
Third quarter 2022 reported gross margin of $104.6 million was the highest in our history and 39.7% higher than the third quarter 2021, reflecting our increasing positive margin mix, pricing actions taken, productivity and cost control. Reported gross margin as a percent of sales of 25.4% was the highest since the second quarter of 2021, and when adjusted for one-time items including restructuring and start and capacity expansion costs was 27.3%; three of our four segments reported gross margin as a percent of sales increased by more than 170 basis points sequentially compared to the second quarter 2022 with HTS increasing 720 basis points. This contributed to record reported operating income of $41.7 million, an increase of 202.2% compared to the third quarter 2021 and when adjusted for one-time items such as deal-related costs and restructuring, record adjusted operating income of $51.9 million. The third quarter 2022 was only the fourth time in the past decade that we had reported operating income as a percent of sales of 10.1% (adjusted 12.6%). HTS also had record operating income and operating income as a percent of sales in the quarter.
Third quarter 2022 reported non-diluted EPS of $1.15 is a historical record and reflects the ongoing efforts of our global flexible manufacturing footprint to optimize “where we make what”; when adjusted for one-time items primarily related to deal costs, year-one integrations and organic startup & capacity expenses, our adjusted non-diluted EPS is $1.49, also a record. As noted above, we did not addback the negative impact to sales or EPS from FX rate changes and we anticipate that these will continue to be variable in the coming quarters. We estimate the third quarter 2022 impact from the foreign exchange rate changes to be approximately net negative $0.06 to EPS (net of translation and transaction).
Macro tailwinds are bolstering demand for multiple solutions in our portfolio; including energy security & access (LNG) and government actions such as the IRA (accelerating activity in Specialty Products).
Macro Tailwinds
Energy security, resiliency, access and independence continues to be a priority for countries around the world, with meaningful focus on Europe. This has been further heightened as winter nears, as well as the supply-demand linkage of available LNG. It is anticipated that gas demand increases each year globally between now and 2035, and in turn, more LNG supply capacity is anticipated to move to Final Investment Decision (“FID”) and construction this decade. Additionally, United States rig count is at pre-pandemic levels, and we are seeing an increase in air cooler equipment sales.
As we stated at the end of the second quarter 2022, and we reiterate now, the increase in immediacy for energy security has not come at the expense of the clean energy transition – rather there is a heightened focus on all energy. Additionally, the third quarter 2022 brought further tailwinds to many of the end markets we serve with our Nexus of Clean™ - clean power, clean water, clean food and clean industrials. One such tailwind was the passing of the IRA in August 2022, which approved $300 billion in spending for energy and climate change, with multiple areas of the IRA directly supporting investments being made by our customers in hydrogen, carbon capture, water, and industrial manufacturing. And hydrogen is not only limited to commercialization as the result of the IRA – global funding commitments to 2030 now total $240 billion, up approximately 50% from a year ago, and cover the European Union and 22 other countries.
In addition to the IRA, CO2 shortage continues to drive global interest in carbon capture solutions from small-scale (Chart’s Earthly Labs small-scale CiCi solution) to large industrial scale (Chart’s SES cryogenic carbon capture solution) and this 30% shortage is expected to continue with further permanent reductions in availability, thereby making CO2 recovery more important to the resolution of this challenge, as well as being a key part of the carbon emission reduction public and private sector targets.
In summary, in the $729.4 million of orders booked in the third quarter 2022 there were 71 orders greater than $1 million each, bringing the year-to-date number to 197. Year-to-date through September 30, 2022, individual orders each greater than $1 million grew 29.6% compared to the same period in 2021 and is at 87% of the full year 2021.
In addition to our commercial pipeline for potential orders in the next 24 months being over $9.5 billion in active, various stage discussions, we have continued to see broad-based demand in October 2022 to start the fourth quarter. Month-to-date as of October 26, 2022, we have received 17 orders each greater than $1 million dollars; of these larger orders, the range was wide – from two multi-million dollar space exploration orders to regas to a refurbishment of a cold box, to multiple air cooler orders, to LNG fueling stations to a large bulk tank order for an industrial gas customer and a $3 million water treatment order.
LNG, LNG, LNG.
As winter approaches, in particular in the European Union, energy security and access are creating new and more imminent LNG opportunities, resulting in the continued increase in the four categories of LNG that we serve:
- Big LNG: In the third quarter 2022, we received FNTP on the remaining 12 cold box systems for Venture Global Plaquemines Phase 2 LNG export project. The third quarter order totaled $91.8 million, bringing our year-to-date Big LNG related orders to $620.7 million. Additionally, we have seen incremental increases to our potential future Big LNG orders since February 2022, driven by more international interest in modular mid-scale terminals, interest in our heavy hydrocarbon (“HHC”) removal and nitrogen-rejection unit (“NRU”) capabilities and more projects intending to move to FID. Currently our “not yet booked” commercial opportunities for Big LNG total $5.68 billion, inclusive of retrofit; this is an increase to our pipeline since the end of the second quarter 2022 of $330 million, even after booking another $91.8 million related to the Venture Global Plaquemines 2 project in the third quarter 2022.
- Small-scale and floating LNG: We received commitments from three customers for small-scale and floating liquefaction projects in the third quarter, totaling $175 million. Even considering these orders, our commercial pipeline continues to grow for this category of LNG (318 potential projects globally), with floating LNG opportunities at their all-time high.
- LNG infrastructure: We sell various equipment into the LNG infrastructure end-market and continue to see demand for fueling stations (12 ordered in the third quarter 2022), regas systems, and other related tanks and trailers. ISO containers had record demand in the third quarter 2022, with 226 units sold. We had two regas orders in the quarter and growth in our vehicle fueling stations business compared to the third quarter 2021. And while year-to-date 2022 demand for HLNG over-the-road vehicle tanks has been meaningfully weaker than the same period in 2021, we saw a nearly 200% increase sequentially from the second quarter 2022 in these orders.
- LNG retrofits, refurbishments, repairs: We continue to see orders related to modifications and extensions of regas stations, with orders in the third quarter 2022 from Italgas. Additionally, we are receiving inbound requests for retrofits and refurbishments as well as expansions of brownfield facilities. This trend is expected to continue, in particular as timing of construction of new builds does not address the immediate need for additional gas supply, and numerous customers are looking for long-term lifecycle services more so than previously.
IRA accelerating activity in Specialty Products.
The IRA in the United States is accelerating activity in our business in key areas that benefit within the IRA, including carbon capture, hydrogen, fuel refueling, water and industrial facilities. We believe that the IRA will accelerate certain investments and purchases from our customers in carbon capture and storage (“CCUS”), hydrogen and water in particular. In the third quarter 2022, Specialty Products orders were $202.9 million, our second consecutive quarter with Specialty Products orders above $200 million, and bringing year-to-date to $569.1 million, over 88% of the full year 2021 Specialty Products orders. With seven consecutive quarters having Specialty Products orders greater than $100 million each, the business is proving to be a consistent and increasing contributor to our overall growth.
Hydrogen orders of $102.4 million in the third quarter 2022 included a large hydrogen liquefaction order from a North American customer bringing our year-to-date 2022 hydrogen related orders above our full year 2021 of $282.1 million. Additionally, the same customer has signed a letter of intent (not booked as an order or in backlog) with Chart for process and equipment for the additional three phases of the project, each 250 Megawatts, with the same content as the first phase. Also, in the quarter we received a $6.2 million order for hydrogen systems and equipment from a European shipyard, who, with Chart, is working closely with a large European cruise line on a hydrogen powered vessel, a $5.8 million order for two of the first transportable fuel stations for hydrogen fuel cell trucks and liquid hydrogen tank orders for a major industrial gas customer’s liquefaction plant in Europe. Importantly, this is another example of the global adoption of liquid hydrogen (historically Europe was predominantly focused on gaseous hydrogen). While not yet booked, we also received a letter of intent (“LOI”) from one of our industrial gas customers for a hydrogen liquefaction plant, which we expect could move to order in 2023.
We saw meaningfully more inbound interest in our CCUS offering since the IRA was approved than we had prior, including a pipeline of 363 customers and potential customers (+142% since December 31, 2021). In our Earthly Labs’ small-scale CCUS business, we successfully installed a CiCi unit at a large winery, shipping our first Earthly Labs’ units to New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom early this quarter. Additionally, new inbound opportunities in our small-scale Earthly Labs carbon capture business totaled $9.22 million in the 75 days following the IRA announcement, compared to new opportunities in the 60 days prior to the IRA of $5.56 million. In the third quarter 2022, we booked orders for our SES cryogenic carbon capture solutions (“SES CCC”) with a customer in Saudi Arabia, as well as with a European energy infrastructure company. We signed 4 Memorandums of Understanding (“MOUs”) related to CCUS in the third quarter 2022, including one with C.A.T. Group and one with Koch for partnering on CCUS project work. We received an order for a feasibility study with Fluxys, with whom we are excited to collaborate on the application of our SES CCC technology to their emissions sources to support their net zero emissions target.
We received $16.7 million in orders for water treatment systems in the third quarter 2022, the second highest in our history, and multiple orders for full treatment solutions, each over $2 million, such as an order from Smith Construction for Madera County, California manganese treatment for drinking water, another from Garney Construction for Brighton, Colorado nitrate treatment for drinking water, and a $4.67 million order in India.
We have also been seeing an increase in clean air (methane emission elimination) activity, which also will benefit from the IRA, with $5.6M in orders through Q3 and new commitments equaling that total in the first 3 weeks Q4. And not to be left out, we received record ISO container orders (226) in the quarter, as well as the largest order of the year-to-date in food & beverage for QT’s new convenience Stores. As the result of this continued and consistent order activity as well as the IRA adding more certainty to this decade opportunities, we are increasing our estimated total addressable market in the near-term from $7.7 billion to $9.65 billion for Specialty Products, and to $49.25 billion through 2030 from $42.0 billion.
Third quarter 2022: Eight MOUs and partnerships executed, eight new certifications received, 79 additional new customer orders, 17 new first-of-a-kind (“FOAK”) orders and expanded organic capacity drive further differentiation of the Chart business.
We continue to expand our business globally through partnerships, leading regional certifications in our specialty markets, and utilizing our global manufacturing footprint to serve new customers and new applications with our cryogenic expertise.
In the third quarter 2022 we executed eight MOUs of which two included master supply agreements. Four were related to carbon capture and CO2 equipment, and two for hydrogen, and one each for liquefaction and LNG, further demonstrating the breadth of our solution offering and penetration across the Nexus of Clean™. One of the master supply agreements was for LNG equipment with Yanchange and Shell Petroleum, while another was with a major beverage company for carbon capture and storage technology and equipment.
Our 79 new customers this quarter (bringing year-to-date through third quarter 2022 to 248) were across a broad reach of geographies. 43% of the third quarter 2022 new customers were North American, 37% Asia Pacific and approximately 20% were in Europe and the Middle East.
FOAK orders of 17 in the third quarter 2022 were also comprised of geographic and application breadth. We kicked off the first feasibility study with Bioveritas for carbon capture with bio-based food ingredients, booked an order with Firefly for a space exploration application, and welcomed new customer PT Arohera in Asia Pacific for food and beverage equipment for their end user, a global food manufacturer.
Certifications globally and regionally in cryogenic equipment are a key differentiator, especially in newer end markets that have localized requirements. In the third quarter 2022, we received numerous new certifications (11, not including normal course of business renewals), including approvals for specific product lines for use in Australia, Canada, and Korea (specifics can be found on slide 21 of the supplemental presentation).
Our organic capacity expansions remain on track, and in some cases are ahead of schedule where we were able to accelerate toward completion as demand continues to increase. September 2022 marked the exciting arrival of our brazing furnace at our Tulsa, Oklahoma flexible manufacturing facility. We will begin post brazing in the fourth quarter 2022 at this site, offering additional capacity and shorter lead-times for certain brazed aluminum heat exchangers. Our Goch, Germany trailer facility expansion remains on track for second half 2023 production and is an example of our incorporation of ESG into our manufacturing, with the design including heat pumps with low energy consumption and extra insulation for less energy usage.
Margin improvement resulting from our actions taken to respond to cost changes with pricing and surcharges and ongoing improving productivity; despite ongoing macroeconomic inflationary and supply chain challenges.
In the third quarter 2022, input costs were similar to the second quarter 2022 (i.e. indexes are stabilizing), yet with the backdrop of continued geopolitical and inflationary uncertainty. Gas and energy prices are a key driver in component availability and costs, in particular in the EU, and while recent prices have been declining, they are still over five times the 2019 standard price. In the EU, the shortage of supply and the rising energy prices could impact raw material producers, and therefore we have and continue to proactively fortify our supply chain channels both globally and locally to reduce the associated risks. Examples of this include future volume commitments on material and components that are more readily available now, and ensuring that we can access material locally in all geographies in which we manufacture in. Despite the ongoing and well-discussed supply chain challenges, 12 of our manufacturing facilities had 100% on-time delivery in the third quarter 2022.
Third quarter 2022 reported gross margin as a percent of sales of 25.4% was 27.3% when adjusting for organic startup and capacity, year-one integration and other one-time expenses, our highest gross margin as a percent of sales quarter since the second quarter 2021 and in line with our sequential quarterly anticipated margin improvement, which we expect to continue in the fourth quarter 2022. Reported gross margin as a percent of sales increased more than 200 basis points sequentially in the third quarter 2022 when compared to the second quarter 2022 in three of our four segments, with HTS at 21.6% (an increase of 720 bps sequentially) and RSL at 38.4% (an increase of 410 bps sequentially). CTS reported gross margin as a percent of sales of 18.0% reflected our first quarter of sequential margin improvement in a year, in part driven by the pull in of lower margin backlog to the second quarter 2022. Specialty Products, which typically has volume and mix movements between quarters, had lower than anticipated sales driven by the timing shifts of two projects’ revenue recognition due to timing of inbound components, which are anticipated to be recognized in the fourth quarter 2022. This project mix shift negatively impacted reported gross margin as a percent of sales for Specialty Products, which was 31.6% for the third quarter 2022. Also impacting the segment was the continued low volume in higher margined HLNG vehicle tanks and one large customer freight revenue which had no associated margin, neither of which are considered adjustments to our adjusted gross profit or adjusted operating profit. We did finalize our year-one integrations for AdEdge and L.A. Turbine, and when adjusting for integration, startup/capacity and restructuring costs in Specialty Products, adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales was 35.6%, similar to the second quarter 2022 adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales of 35.8%.
Our reported operating income as a percent of sales in the third quarter 2022 of 10.1% was an increase of 590 basis points compared to the third quarter 2021. It is also worth noting that in the third quarter 2021, we did not include any short-term incentive compensation expense as we were not hitting the threshold. In each quarter of 2022, including the third quarter, we have been booking our short-term incentive costs through SG&A. Therefore, the increase in reported operating income as a percent of sales in the third quarter 2022 compared to the third quarter 2021 is operationally even more significant (an increase of 710 basis points). When adjusted for one-time and unusual items, adjusted operating income as a percent of sales in the third quarter 2022 was 12.6%.
“The third quarter of 2022 not only reinforced our customers’ continued broad-based demand for LNG and solutions across our Nexus of Clean™ serving power, water, food and industrials, our outlook for 2023 and the coming decade was further bolstered by the passing of the IRA at a macro level and our record backlog, sales, gross profit, operating profit and EPS,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO and President. “We continue to execute our margin expansion activities ranging from pricing to organic productivity, which was reflected in the sequential margin improvement and our anticipated sequential margin expansion in the fourth quarter 2022 and into 2023.”
Free cash flow generation.
In the third quarter 2022, we generated $37 million cash from operations, had $18 million of capital expenditures related activity, and $17 million of unusual addback items (including $2 million for escrow payments for Earthly Labs), resulting in adjusted free cash flow (“FCF”) of $36 million. This brings year-to-date adjusted FCF to $68 million. Considering the expected timing of larger project milestone payments (over $100 million expected) in the fourth quarter 2022, our full year FCF outlook is approximately $175 million. We accelerated certain capital projects expenditures related to capacity expansions into the third quarter 2022 as we continue to see lead-time and increased demand for deliveries across the next 24 months. Specifically, we pulled ahead capital to accelerate our ability to produce in our expanded roof-covered facility in New Iberia, Louisiana (cold box shop) and certain activities in our Tulsa, Oklahoma flexible manufacturing facility. As of the end of the third quarter 2022, our net leverage ratio is 2.92, and during the quarter we repaid $80M million in borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility during the third quarter 2022.
2022 Guidance.
Our outlook for 2022 for sales is in the range of $1.65 billion to $1.70 billion, with associated adjusted non-diluted EPS in the range of $5.00 to $5.25 on approximately 35.87 million weighted shares outstanding with an assumed tax rate of 17%. The change to our prior sales guidance of $1.725 billion to $1.80 billion is driven by currency headwinds and timing of specific project revenue recognition, which is typical in our business.
2023 first outlook with increased confidence driven by record backlog, multiple global tailwinds and customers’ forecasts.
Our outlook for 2023 for sales is in a range of $2.10 billion to $2.20 billion, which includes only Big LNG projects that are in backlog as of September 30, 2022. Associated adjusted non-diluted EPS is anticipated to be in the range of $7.50 to $8.50 on 35.87 million weighted shares outstanding. This assumes a tax rate of 19%. Note that this outlook does not include any new or additional mid-size or large projects that could come into the order book between now and the end of the first half 2023 which we would anticipate having sales associated with them in the year. If one or more mid or large-size project comes into the order book between now and the end of the first quarter 2023, we would anticipate recognizing between $50 to $75 million dollars more of revenue into the full year.

_______________
Adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income (loss) are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit and operating income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income (loss) facilitate useful period-to-period comparisons of our financial results and this information is used by us in evaluating internal performance. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
