Barnes Group Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Oct. 23, 2020

BRISTOL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2020--Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), a global provider of highly engineered products, differentiated industrial technologies, and innovative solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2020.

"Barnes Group delivered third quarter financial performance near the high-end of our July expectations with Industrial seeing promising signs of recovery in select end markets and Aerospace effectively managing through the significant pressures of a challenging business environment. As anticipated, the ongoing impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic weighed on our business, although our sequential improvement and continued solid cash generation are encouraging," said Patrick J. Dempsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barnes Group Inc. "Swift proactive actions taken early in the pandemic have enabled Barnes Group to remain profitable and to sustain good cash performance, both clearly evident in the third quarter results," added Dempsey.

Third Quarter Highlights

Third quarter 2020 net sales of $269 million were down 28% from $373 million in the prior year period, with organic sales (1) declining 26% primarily driven by the impact of the global pandemic on the Company's end markets. Divested Seeger sales had a negative impact of 4%, while foreign exchange had a positive impact of 2%. On a sequential basis, net sales increased 14% from the second quarter 2020. Operating income was $31.2 million versus $67.6 million a year ago. Operating margin decreased 650 bps to 11.6%. On an adjusted basis, which excludes $0.3 million of restructuring charges in the Aerospace Segment, operating income was $31.5 million and adjusted operating margin was 11.7%.

Interest expense was $3.7 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the prior year period, due to decreased average borrowings and the benefit of a lower average interest rate.

Other expense was $47 thousand compared to $2.5 million a year ago, primarily as a result of a foreign currency gains this year versus losses last year.

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 44.1% compared with 23.4% in the third quarter of 2019 and 23.4% for the full year 2019. The increase in the third quarter of 2020 effective tax rate from the full year 2019 rate is primarily due to changes in the forecasted geographic sources of income with reductions occurring in several low tax jurisdictions and the impact of the global intangible low-taxed income tax ("GILTI"). Our full year 2020 tax rate, which includes the recognition of tax expense related to the Seeger sale, is forecasted to be approximately 39%.

Net income for the third quarter was $15.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $45.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, a year ago.

Year-to-date 2020 cash provided by operating activities was $163.4 million versus $161.3 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $133.2 million compared to $123.6 million last year-to-date. Capital expenditures year-to-date were $30.2 million, down $7.6 million from last year-to-date.

Segment Performance and End Market Outlook

Industrial

Third quarter sales were $196.9 million, down 15% from $231.7 million in the prior year period. Organic sales decreased 12% primarily related to a significant volume decrease caused by the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on automotive and industrial end markets. Divested Seeger revenues of $14.1 million had a negative impact of 6%, while favorable foreign exchange increased sales by $7.2 million, or 3%. On a sequential basis, total Industrial sales increased 19% from the second quarter 2020.

Operating profit in the third quarter was $24.4 million, down 30% from $34.8 million in the prior year period. Similar to the second quarter of 2020, the operating profit decrease was driven by the lower sales volumes partially offset by cost initiatives such as workforce reductions, temporary compensation cuts, and discretionary expense curtailments. Operating margin was 12.4%, down 260 bps from 15.0% last year.

During the third quarter, manufacturing PMI's in our major geographic regions have improved and Industrial orders and sales have followed. Although the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to weigh upon our expectations for Industrial, we anticipate sequential improvement in both orders and sales in the fourth quarter.

Aerospace

Third quarter sales were $72.1 million, down 49% from $140.9 million last year as the COVID-19 pandemic suppressed global aerospace end markets. Aerospace original equipment manufacturing ("OEM") sales decreased 44% while aftermarket sales decreased 58%. On a sequential basis, Aerospace sales increased 2% from the second quarter 2020.

Operating profit was $6.8 million, down 79% from $32.7 million in the prior year period, reflecting the lower sales volumes and $0.3 million of restructuring charges, partially offset by lower employee related expenses and other cost containment actions. Operating margin was 9.4%, down from 23.2% last year. Excluding third quarter 2020 restructuring charges, adjusted operating profit was $7.1 million and adjusted operating margin was 9.9%.

Aerospace OEM backlog ended the quarter at $534 million, down 4% from June 2020. The Company expects to ship approximately 45% of this backlog over the next 12 months.

In the third quarter, our aerospace end markets continued to be severely impacted by the global pandemic. In the near-term, we anticipate our OEM business will see continued softness in demand for its manufactured components as aircraft production rates at Boeing and Airbus have been reduced. While our aerospace OEM sales are expected to increase on a sequential basis in the fourth quarter, recovery to pre-pandemic levels is anticipated to take several years. In the aerospace aftermarket, lingering declines in aircraft utilization and diminished airline profitability will negatively impact our business. As flight activity resumes, we anticipate the aftermarket business to gradually improve.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Barnes Group's balance sheet remains well-positioned with sufficient liquidity to fund operations. The Company has liquidity of $77 million in cash and approximately $400 million of available revolving credit facility, subject to covenants which would have allowed $256 million under our current credit agreements. With respect to the balance sheet, our "Debt to EBITDA" ratio, as defined in our credit agreements, was 2.8 times at the end of September 2020, up from 2.4 times at the end of June 2020. The Company is in full compliance with all covenants under its amended credit agreements.

2020 Fourth Quarter Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2020, we will continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic. As such, our current view is for organic sales to be lower than last year's fourth quarter by approximately 20%, though up sequentially from the third quarter of 2020 by approximately 5%. Operating margin is expected to approximate 11.0%. Adjusted earnings per share are anticipated to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.35. Our full year 2020 capital expenditures forecast of $40 million is down slightly from our prior view.

(1) The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes that the free cash flow metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that can be used to invest in future growth, pay dividends, repurchase stock and reduce debt. This metric can also be used to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company's liquidity.

(1) The Company has excluded the following from its "as adjusted" financial measurements for 2020: 1) adjustments related to the divestiture of the Seeger business, including $2.4M reflected within the Industrial segment's operating profit and $4.2M of tax expense, and 2) charges taken in 2020 related to restructuring and workforce reduction actions to be implemented across its businesses. The Company has excluded short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to its Gimatic acquisition and the non-cash impairment charge related to the divestiture of the Seeger business from its "as adjusted" financial measurements for 2019. The non-cash impairment charge was recorded pre-tax in 2019 as the tax charges resulting from the divestiture were recorded in the first quarter of 2020 following the completion of the sale. The tax effects of the restructuring actions in 2020 and the short-term purchase accounting adjustments in 2019 were calculated based on the respective tax jurisdictions and range from approximately 26% to 30%. Management believes that these adjustments provide the Company and its investors with an indication of our baseline performance excluding items that are not considered to be reflective of our ongoing results. Management does not intend results excluding the adjustments to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative measurement calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's performance. Accordingly, the measurements have limitations depending on their use.
