Strong cash and liquidity position
Tennant Company (“Tennant”) (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer and healthier world, today reported first-quarter results for 2020. For the first quarter, net sales totaled $252.1 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 4.0 percent, or down 2.4 percent on an organic basis, primarily as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing global business slowdown. Net income for the first quarter of 2020 was $5.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude certain non-operational items and amortization expense, were $0.57, compared with $0.72 in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding non-operational items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the first quarter of 2020 were $26.1 million, or 10.4 percent of sales, compared with $29.5 million, or 11.2 percent of sales, in the year-ago period. In the first quarter of 2020, cash flow from operations provided $8.7 million, compared to a cash usage of $11.6 million in the prior year first quarter. (See the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table.)
“Our first quarter was the story of two strong months and one difficult one as our global operations weathered the impact of the coronavirus pandemic,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant Company’s president and chief executive officer. “The primary impacts of the pandemic on our business were related to temporary plant shutdowns, as well as a slowdown in sales to some end markets, amid widespread closures of customer facilities and operations. Our China factories were closed for two weeks in February, and we temporarily suspended operations at our plants in Italy and the United States at times during the month of March, in accordance with local directives.”
First-Quarter Operating Review
In the first quarter of 2020, Tennant’s consolidated net sales of $252.1 million were down 4.0 percent over the same period last year, including a 1.6 percent reduction from foreign currency. On an organic basis, sales declined 2.4 percent.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation and Liquidity
During the first quarter of 2020, Tennant generated $8.7 million in cash flow from operations, primarily driven by business performance. As a precaution, the Company has drawn an additional $125 million from its $200 million revolver and has approximately $30 million of remaining undrawn funds. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $192 million in cash and cash equivalents.
2020 Business Outlook
As previously announced, the Company withdrew the full-year guidance it provided on February 20, 2020, due to the uncertain nature of the coronavirus pandemic. At this time, the Company does not have the ability to accurately predict the level of impact on its businesses and financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2020. Accordingly, the Company is not updating its outlook, but plans to share further updates in its second-quarter earnings announcement and conference call.
In response to this pandemic, the Company has already taken a number of actions globally to minimize the financial impact. Specifically, the Company implemented a combination of reduced work schedules and furlough programs for all employees globally, while operating within the local laws and regulations, and maintaining health coverage for all impacted employees. As previously announced, Tennant’s CEO will forgo 100 percent of his salary, while senior leaders within the organization will forgo 35 percent of their salaries and the board of directors will take a 50 percent cut in pay, through the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the Company has been proactive in establishing a dedicated enterprise-wide response team, limiting travel to business-critical trips only, implementing work-from-home processes where possible, reducing non-essential discretionary and project spending, and developing multiple financial scenario plans to ensure liquidity and to identify additional actions, if needed.
“While the extent of the impact of the pandemic is uncertain and continually evolving, we will continue to manage costs and cash flow while maintaining our ability to ramp up quickly as markets recover,” said Killingstad. “The health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners remains our top priority and we are committed to providing the equipment, parts and service our customers need to keep their facilities clean and safe. In its 150-year history, Tennant has always been a resilient and adaptable company, and we will do whatever is necessary to emerge from this crisis in a strong position.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or non-operational nature (hereinafter referred to as “special items”). Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the current, past or future periods. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company.
We believe that disclosing Gross Profit – as adjusted, Gross Margin – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted, Profit from Operations – as adjusted, Operating Margin – as adjusted, Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted, Income Tax Expense – as adjusted, Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted, Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) – as adjusted, and EBITDA Margin – as adjusted (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), excluding the impacts from special items, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use these as one measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
We calculate Gross Profit – as adjusted and Gross Margin – as adjusted by adding back the discontinuation of product lines. We calculate Selling and Administrative Expense – as adjusted, and Selling and Administrative Expense as a percent of Net Sales – as adjusted by adding back acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, and restructuring charges recorded in S&A. We calculate Profit from Operations – as adjusted and Operating Margin – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, and restructuring charges. We calculate Profit Before Income Taxes – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, and amortization expense. We calculate Income Tax Expense – as adjusted by adding back the tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges and amortization expense. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, and amortization expense. We calculate Net Earnings Attributable to Tennant Company per Share – as adjusted by adding back the after-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, and amortization expense and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We calculate EBITDA – as adjusted by adding back the pre-tax effect of the discontinuation of product lines, acquisition and integration costs, certain non-operational professional services, restructuring charges, Interest Income, Interest Expense, Income Tax Expense, Depreciation Expense and Amortization Expense to Net Earnings Including Noncontrolling Interest – as reported. We calculate EBITDA Margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by Net Sales.
Investors should consider these Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or better than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the components of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Table to this earnings release.
