    • Record second-quarter net sales of $936.3 million, up 3.3% compared to the prior-year period, including core revenue growth of 3.9%.
    • Net income attributable to shareholders of $64.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.

    • Generated $183.9 million of operating cash flow year to date, compared to $(81.8) million in the prior year.

    Gates Industrial Corporation plc (NYSE:GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific power transmission and fluid power solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023.

    Ivo Jurek, Gates Industrial's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We produced solid increases in net income attributable to shareholders as well as core revenue growth and strong margin expansion and cash flow generation. We also reduced our net leverage ratio compared to the prior year period and returned $250 million to shareholders during the quarter."

    Jurek continued, "We executed well in the first half of 2023. As we enter the second half, our business prospects remain constructive and the operating environment continues to normalize. We are maintaining the midpoint of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance and offsetting slower demand trends in the back half of the year. In addition, we have increased our full year Adjusted EPS guidance. Long-term, I am confident in our growth, margin and cash flow generation potential and our ability to improve our balance sheet while investing in our growth initiatives and returning meaningful capital to shareholders."

    Second-Quarter Financial Results

    Second-quarter net sales were $936.3 million, an increase of 3.3% over the prior-year quarter net sales of $906.8 million, including a 3.9% core revenue increase partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact of 0.6%. Our Replacement and First-Fit businesses contributed similarly to our core growth in the quarter. Core growth in the Automotive Replacement market exceeded the core growth of the enterprise. The Automotive, Construction and On-Highway end markets experienced the highest growth rates compared to the prior-year period.

    Second-quarter net income attributable to shareholders was $64.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to shareholders of $53.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Net Income was $101.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $90.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the prior-year period, fueled by improved operating performance. The diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2023 was 279,915,448 compared to 286,038,818 in the second quarter of 2022.

    Second quarter net income from continuing operations was $71.3 million, or 7.6% of net sales, compared to $59.3 million, or 6.5% of net sales in the prior-year quarter. The margin improvement was fueled primarily by increased operating income partially offset by higher net interest expense.

    Second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $197.3 million compared to $180.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.1% represented an expansion of 120 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin stemmed largely from favorable pricing slightly offset by lower volumes.

    Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including expected Core Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow Conversion for 2023. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

    This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as its key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business either period-over-period or with other businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment profitability to assess the performance of our businesses, and it is used for total Gates as well because we believe it is important to consider our total profitability on a basis that is consistent with that of our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of net sales for that period.

    Management uses Adjusted Net Income as an additional measure of profitability. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income attributable to shareholders before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses.

    Core revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the impacts of movements in foreign currency rates and the first-year impacts of acquisitions and disposals, where applicable. We present core revenue growth because it allows for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency gains or losses, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition or disposal.

    Management uses Free Cash Flow to measure cash generation. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion is a measure of Free Cash Flow expressed as a percentage of Adjusted Net Income. We use this metric as a measure of the success of our business in converting Adjusted Net Income into cash.

    Management uses Net Leverage as a measure of our liquidity and in assessing the strength of our balance sheet. Net Leverage is a non-GAAP measure that represents the number of times by which net debt (principal amount of debt less cash and cash equivalents) exceeds Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months of the applicable period.

    These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see below for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Restructuring expenses represent items qualifying for recognition as such under U.S. GAAP and include costs related to the closure of lines of business, facility closures and consolidations, fundamental organizational rationalizations and non-recurring employee severance related to such actions.

    Inventory impairments and adjustments include the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a Last-in-First-out ("LIFO") basis. The inflationary environment of the prior year period caused LIFO values to drop below First-in, First-out ("FIFO") values because LIFO measurement resulted in inflated costs being matched against sales while current, lower costs are retained in inventories.

    On January 31, 2023, one of our customers filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

We will continue to monitor the circumstances surrounding the bankruptcy in determining whether adjustments to this recovery estimate are necessary.
