Griffon Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results

Griffon Corporation (“Griffon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 ended March 31, 2022.

Revenue for the second quarter totaled $779.6 million, a 36% increase compared to the prior year quarter revenue of $574.7 million. Revenue excluding the Hunter acquisition increased 23% to $708.8 million. Hunter contributed $70.8 million.

Income from continuing operations totaled $58.6 million, or $1.10 per share, compared to $18.1 million, or $0.34 per share, in the prior year quarter. Current year quarter adjusted income from continuing operations was $73.1 million, or $1.37 per share, compared to $25.1 million, or $0.47 per share, in the prior year quarter (see reconciliation of Income from continuing operations to Adjusted income from continuing operations for details).

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter was $139.6 million, increasing 113% from the prior year quarter of $65.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding unallocated amounts (primarily corporate overhead) of $12.8 million in the current quarter and $12.1 million in the prior year quarter, totaled $152.3 million in the current quarter, increasing 97% from the prior year of $77.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, loss on debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable (“Adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation to income before taxes from continuing operations).

On April 18, 2022, Griffon entered into a definitive agreement to sell Telephonics to TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTMI) ("TTM") for $330.0 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close within the second calendar quarter of 2022, subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

On January 24, 2022, Griffon completed the acquisition of Hunter Fan Company ("Hunter"), a market leader in residential ceiling, commercial, and industrial fans, for approximately $845 million. Hunter, part of the Consumer and Professional Products segment ("CPP"), complements and diversifies our portfolio of leading consumer brands and products. Hunter is expected to contribute approximately $400 million in revenue and $90 million in EBITDA in the first full fiscal year of ownership.

Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Griffon's record second quarter results are a confirmation of the strength of our strategic plan, resilience of our businesses and the excellence of our operating management. We expect to continue to deliver strong results and build on our momentum."

Segment Operating Results

Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP")

CPP revenue in the current quarter totaling $411.0 million increased 24% compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from a 21%, or $70.8 million, contribution from the Hunter acquisition, and price and mix of 15%, partially offset by an 11% reduction in volume, primarily in the U.S., due to reduced consumer demand and customer supplier diversification. FX was 1% unfavorable.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA totaling $47.8 million increased 28% compared to the prior year quarter due to EBITDA of $14.3 million from the Hunter acquisition. Excluding the Hunter contribution, EBITDA decreased 10% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of reduced U.S. volume and increased material, labor and transportation costs, partially offset by the benefits of price and mix.

Strategic Initiative

In November 2019, Griffon announced the development of a next-generation business platform for CPP to enhance the growth, efficiency, and competitiveness of its U.S. operations, and on November 12, 2020, Griffon announced that CPP is broadening this strategic initiative to include additional North American facilities, the AMES United Kingdom (U.K.) and Australia businesses, and a manufacturing facility in China. Today, Griffon is announcing an accelerated timeline and reduced scope for the initiative, which will now be completed by the end of fiscal 2022. These changes reflect the rapid progress made with the initiative, and reduced investment in facilities expansion and equipment given recent significant increases in construction and equipment costs. Any remaining expenditures, after the end of fiscal 2022, including those related to the deployment of AMES' global information systems, will be included in the continuing operations of the business. Future investments in equipment, particularly for automation, will be part of normal-course annual capital expenditures.

This initiative includes three key development areas. First, certain AMES U.S. and global operations will be consolidated to optimize facilities footprint and talent. Second, strategic investments in automation and facilities expansion will be made to increase the efficiency of our manufacturing and fulfillment operations, and support e-commerce growth. Third, multiple independent information systems will be unified into a single data and analytics platform, which will serve the whole AMES global enterprise.

When fully implemented and the efficiencies are fully realized, we expect annual cash savings of $25 million (previously $30 million to $35 million). The cost to implement this new business platform, over the duration of the project, will now include one-time charges of approximately $50 million (previously $65 million) and capital investments, net of proceeds from sale of exited facilities, of approximately $15 million (previously $65 million).

In connection with this initiative, during the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and related exit costs approximating $6.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively. Since inception of this initiative in fiscal 2020, cumulative charges totaled $41.6 million. Since inception of this initiative in fiscal 2020 and during the six months ended March 31, 2022, capital expenditures of $18.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, were driven by investment in CPP business intelligence systems and e-commerce and distribution facilities.

Home and Building Products ("HBP")

HBP revenue in the current quarter totaling $368.6 million increased 52% from the prior year quarter, due to favorable pricing and mix for both residential and commercial products. Increased commercial volume was offset by reduced residential volume due to labor and supply chain disruptions.

HBP Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $104.5 million, increasing 161% compared to the prior year quarter. EBITDA benefited from the increased revenue noted above, partially offset by increased material, labor and transportation costs.

Taxes

The Company reported pretax income from continuing operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and recognized tax provisions of 29.5% and 38.0%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 28.3% and 31.5%, respectively. The current year-to-date effective tax rate was 29.7% and the rate excluding all items that affect comparability was 29.0%.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

At March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and equivalents of $122.3 million and total debt outstanding of $1.97 billion, resulting in net debt of $1.84 billion. Leverage, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was 4.4x times EBITDA. Borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $233.0 million subject to certain loan covenants. Capital expenditures were $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, Griffon had $58 million remaining under its Board of Directors authorized share repurchase program. There were no purchases under these authorizations during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
