Steelcase Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

Steelcase Inc. (NYSE: SCS) today reported second quarter revenue of $863.3 million, net income of $19.6 million, or $0.17 per share, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.21. In the prior year, Steelcase reported revenue of $724.8 million and net income of $24.7 million, or $0.21 per share, and had adjusted earnings per share of $0.23.

Revenue and order growth (decline) compared to the prior year were as follows:

 

	Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
	RevenueGrowth (Decline)			Organic RevenueGrowth			Organic OrderGrowth (Decline)
Americas	25	%		21	%		7	%
EMEA	(1	)%		12	%		4	%
Other	18	%		21	%		(8	)%
	19	%		20	%		5	%

The organic revenue growth in all segments was driven by a strong beginning backlog and included significant pricing benefits. Order growth in the Americas and EMEA was driven by pricing benefits, partially offset by a decline in volume in the Americas. The order decline in the Other category was driven by Asia Pacific with broad-based volume declines in all markets except India which continued its strong recovery from COVID-related restrictions in the prior year.

"Our sales and dealer teams have delivered significantly higher order growth than our industry in the Americas over the past year and done an outstanding job implementing our necessary pricing actions," said Sara Armbruster, president and CEO. "I want to thank all of our employees for delivering better than expected earnings this quarter by remaining diligent in combating supply chain challenges and controlling operating expenses."

Operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) were as follows:

		Operating income (loss)								Adjusted operating income (loss)
		(Unaudited)								(Unaudited)
		Three months ended								Three months ended

Operating income of $28.9 million in the second quarter represented a decrease of $5.0 million compared to the prior year, which included a $15.4 million gain from the sale of land. Excluding the land gain in the prior year, the increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher volume and higher pricing benefits which improved gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Gross margin of 29.1 percent in the second quarter represented an increase of 60 basis points compared to the prior year, with a 120 basis point improvement in the Americas, a 340 basis point decline in EMEA and a 90 basis point improvement in the Other category. Year-over-year pricing benefits of approximately $80 million exceeded year-over-year inflation by approximately $30 million. The improvement in the Americas was primarily due to higher volume (in part driven by the seasonal strength of Smith System), higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, and a favorable inventory adjustment, partially offset by higher fixed overhead costs and labor inefficiencies. The decline in EMEA was primarily due to higher inflation, net of pricing benefits, and labor inefficiencies. The improvement in the Other category was primarily due to higher volume and higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, partially offset by an unfavorable inventory adjustment.

"Inflation continues to be significant and has aggregated to approximately $270 million over the last six quarters, but for the first time since fiscal 2021, our year-over-year pricing benefits exceeded inflation this quarter," said Dave Sylvester, senior vice president and CFO. "Over the coming quarters, although inflationary pressure is expected to remain, we anticipate the benefits from our pricing actions will continue to accumulate and more fully offset the cumulative inflationary costs we’ve incurred."

Operating expenses of $221.4 million in the second quarter represented an increase of $48.5 million compared to the prior year, which included a $15.4 million gain on sale of land. The remaining increase was driven by $13.6 million of higher marketing, product development and sales expenses, $8.4 million of higher variable compensation, $7.9 million from acquisitions and $4.6 million of higher spending in other functional areas, partially offset by $4.9 million of favorable currency translation effects.

"In response to inflation and supply chain challenges throughout this year, we have been pulling back on our planned level of incremental spending while staying invested in our most critical strategic initiatives,” said Dave Sylvester.   “Due to the recent volume decline in our incoming orders and lower than expected return-to-office trends in the Americas, we are planning to implement additional actions in the third quarter which target further reduction of our planned level of spending.   These actions target approximately $20 million of annualized spending and are expected to include the elimination of up to 180 salaried positions across the Americas core business and Corporate functions."

Interest expense of $7.2 million in the second quarter represented an increase of $0.8 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to borrowings under the company's global credit facility during the quarter.

Total liquidity, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the cash surrender value of company-owned life insurance, aggregated to $213.9 million at the end of the second quarter.   Total debt was $563.5 million.   Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters was $154.1 million.

As previously announced, the company's acquisition of Halcon Furniture LLC was completed on June 10, 2022, and was funded using cash on hand and $68 million of borrowings under the company's global credit facility.

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, to be paid on or before October 17, 2022, to shareholders of record as of October 5, 2022.

"Based on the recent order and return-to-office trends, we adjusted our dividend this quarter to strengthen our liquidity profile and support a higher allocation of capital to reinvestment in the business and pursuit of our longer-term strategy," said Dave Sylvester.

Outlook

At the end of the second quarter, the company’s backlog of customer orders was approximately $946 million, which was 38 percent higher than the prior year. Consistent with recent quarters, the backlog includes a higher than historical percentage of orders scheduled to ship beyond the end of the next quarter, and supply chain disruptions are expected to continue. Orders through the first three weeks of the third quarter declined approximately 20% compared to the prior year. As a result, the company expects third quarter fiscal 2023 revenue to be in the range of $825 to $850 million. The company reported revenue of $738.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The projected revenue translates to growth of 12 to 15 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, or organic growth of 13 to 16 percent.

The company expects to report earnings per share of between $0.08 to $0.12 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and adjusted earnings per share of between $0.17 to $0.21. The estimates includes:

• gross margin of between 29.0 to 29.5 percent, with projected pricing benefits, net of inflation, of approximately $55 million as compared to the prior year and sequentially unfavorable business mix and lower manufacturing efficiency due to decreased production volume,
• projected operating expenses of between $215 to $220 million, which includes $7 million of amortization of purchased intangible assets and an expected $7 million gain on sale of property,
• estimated restructuring charges of $8 million,
• projected interest expense, investment income and other income, net, of approximately $5 million and
• a projected effective tax rate of 27 percent.

The company reported earnings per share of $0.08 and had adjusted earnings per share of $0.10 in the prior year.  

"Our strategy remains unchanged, but we are shifting additional effort to prioritize improvement in our profitability to fund future investments and to add more diversification to the markets and customers we serve," said Sara Armbruster. "Looking forward, we continue to believe in the value of people coming together in person to imagine, create, and achieve, which we believe will drive investments to support new ways of working across all of the markets we serve."

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth, (2) adjusted operating income (loss), (3) adjusted earnings per share and (4) adjusted EBITDA. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the company has provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the tables above. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends.

Organic Revenue GrowthThe company defines organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency translation effects. Organic revenue growth is calculated by adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies and to use current year average exchange rates in the calculation of foreign-denominated revenue. The company believes organic revenue growth is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of the company's revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per ShareThe company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs. The company defines adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs, net of related income tax effects.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: The company may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when it acquires companies. The company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. The company believes that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers. As the company's business strategy in recent years has included an increased number of acquisitions, intangible asset amortization has become more significant.

Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs may be recorded as the company's business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. The company believes that adjusting for restructuring costs, which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Adjusted EBITDAThe company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and restructuring costs. The company believes adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information regarding the operating profitability of the company as well as a useful comparison to other companies. EBITDA is a measurement commonly used in capital markets to value companies and is used by the company's lenders and rating agencies to evaluate its performance. The company adjusts EBITDA for share-based compensation as it represents a significant non-cash item which impacts its earnings. The company also adjusts EBITDA for restructuring costs to provide a more consistent comparison of its earnings to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Forward-looking Statements From time to time, in written and oral statements, the company discusses its expectations regarding future events and its plans and objectives for future operations. These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to the company, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the company. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project," "target” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although the company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and vary from the company's expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters, pandemics and other Force Majeure events; cyberattacks; the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by various governments and third parties to combat the pandemic; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Steelcase undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
