Martinrea International Inc. (TSX : MRE), a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems, today announced the release of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share.

FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total sales of $1,323.9 million, up 1.5% year-over-year.
  • Diluted net earnings per share of $0.56 and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) of $0.62.
  • Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 6.0%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $162.8 million.
  • First-quarter results improved significantly quarter over quarter.
  • Free Cash Flow(1) (excluding principal payments of IFRS-16 lease liabilities) was ($1.4) million, inclusive of a normal seasonal build in non-cash working capital, a significant improvement over ($31.5) million generated in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio, excluding the impact of IFRS 16, ended the quarter at 1.51x.
  • New business awards of approximately $30 million in annualized sales at mature volumes; the Company was also awarded replacement business worth $150 million in annualized sales at mature volumes with various customers.
  • Quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share declared.

1 The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures, included anywhere in this press release, include “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Net Earnings per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Free Cash-Flow (after IFRS 16 lease payments)” and “Net Debt”. The relevant IFRS financial measure, as applicable, and a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS financial measures to measures determined in accordance with IFRS are contained in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and in this press release.

OVERVIEW

Pat D’Eramo, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our first quarter financial results were solid, and a notable improvement over the prior quarter as we bounced back from the disruptions caused by the UAW strike and Tier 2 supplier issue we faced in the fourth quarter. We continue to perform at a high level operationally. Industry headwinds from supply shortages, inflationary cost pressures, and tight labour market conditions continue to improve, vehicle production volumes had a good start to the year despite the slower-than-expected ramp-up in electric vehicle platforms across the industry, and a number of our core platforms experienced growth in production volumes quarter over quarter. Commercial negotiations aimed at offsetting inflationary cost pressures and volume shortfalls on certain programs continue, and I am happy with the progress our team is making on this front.”

He added: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded new business representing $30 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, consisting of $20 million in Lightweight Structures and $10 million in Propulsion Systems. In addition, we were awarded replacement business in both Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems worth approximately $150 million in annualized sales at mature volumes with a variety of customers.”

Fred Di Tosto, President and Chief Financial Officer, stated: “We are pleased with our operational and financial performance in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $162.8 million was near record levels, and Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 6.0% returned to a level consistent with where we were prior to the disruptions from the UAW strike and Tier 2 supplier issue that impacted the fourth quarter. Sales for the first quarter, excluding tooling sales of $66.4 million, were $1,257.5 million, and diluted net earnings per share and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) were $0.56 and $0.62 respectively. Free Cash Flow(1) (excluding principal payments of IFRS-16 lease liabilities) of ($1.4) million improved significantly year over year. We expect another solid year of Free Cash Flow(1) in 2024, with the bulk of it being generated in the back half of the year, similar to 2023.”

He continued: “Net Debt(1) (excluding IFRS-16 lease liabilities) increased by approximately $74 million quarter over quarter, to $856.5 million, reflecting our Free Cash Flow(1) profile for the quarter, as well as funding an investment in Equispheres Inc., cash restructuring costs, our regular dividend payment, and significant share buyback activity during the quarter. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio (excluding the impact of IFRS 16) ended the quarter at 1.51x, inline with our long-term target range of 1.5x or better.”

Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “As Pat and Fred outlined, we continue to perform well operationally, our balance sheet is in great shape, and we are executing on our capital allocation priorities. We repurchased 1,353,500 shares for cancellation under our normal course issuer bid (NCIB) during the quarter at a cost of $15.9 million. We have renewed our NCIB for another year, and our intention is to continue to buy back stock at these price levels. We also funded an investment in Equispheres Inc. for $8.0 million. Equispheres is a leading-edge company developing innovative technologies for the production of advanced materials, including high-performance aluminum powder for additive manufacturing applications. Our relationship with Equispheres is expected to enable us to introduce increasingly complex and sophisticated products to our customers, thereby advancing our Project BreakThrough strategy. On behalf of the executive management team, we would like to thank our people for their hard work in delivering a solid quarterly performance, as well as our shareholders and other stakeholders for their continued support.”

SALES

Three months ended March 31, 2024 to three months ended March 31, 2023 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended March 31, 2023 $ Change % Change
North America$963,943  $973,992  (10,049) (1.0%)
Europe 334,010   303,470  30,540  10.1%
Rest of the World 31,762   33,882  (2,120) (6.3%)
Eliminations (5,802)  (7,455) 1,653  22.2%
Total Sales$1,323,913  $1,303,889  20,024  1.5%

The Company’s consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2024 increased by $20.0 million or 1.5% to $1,323.9 million as compared to $1,303.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The total increase in sales was driven by a year-over-year increase in the Europe operating segment, partially offset by year-over-year decreases in North America and the Rest of the World.

Sales for the first quarter of 2024 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $10.0 million or 1.0% to $963.9 million from $974.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Ford Mustang Mach E, General Motors' Equinox/Terrain, and Mercedes' new electric vehicle platform (EVA2); programs that ended production during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2023, specifically the Dodge Charger/Challenger and Chevrolet Bolt; and a decrease in tooling sales of $33.0 million, which are typically dependent of the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by the launch and ramp up of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2023, including General Motors' new electric vehicle platform (BEV3), a Toyota/Lexus SUV, and a transmission for the ZF Group; and higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain other light vehicle platforms, including the Ford Escape and General Motors' large pick-up truck and SUV platform. Overall first quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in North America increased by approximately 1% year-over-year.

Sales for the first quarter of 2024 in the Company’s Europe operating segment increased by $30.5 million or 10.1% to $334.0 million from $303.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was due to an increase in tooling sales of $30.8 million, which are typically dependent of the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including aluminum engine blocks for Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes and Ford; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the first quarter of 2024 of $5.0 million. These positive factors were partially offset by lower year-over-year production volumes of certain other light vehicle platforms, including the Mercedes' new electric vehicle platform (EVA2) and Lucid Air. Overall industry-wide first quarter OEM light vehicle production volumes in Europe decreased by approximately 3% year-over-year.

Sales for the first quarter of 2024 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $2.1 million or 6.3% to $31.8 million from $33.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was largely driven by programs that came with the operations acquired from Metalsa in China that ended production during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2023; partially offset by the launch and ramp up of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2023, specifically the BMW 5-series in China, and an increase in tooling sales of $4.2 million.

Overall tooling sales increased by $2.1 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $66.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 from $64.3 million for the first quarter of 2023.

GROSS MARGIN

Three months ended March 31, 2024 to three months ended March 31, 2023 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended March 31, 2023 $ Change % Change
Gross margin$172,537  $167,386  5,151 3.1%
% of Sales 13.0%  12.8%    

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2024 of 13.0% increased as a percentage of sales by 0.2% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2023 of 12.8%. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:

  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities and other improvements; and
  • contribution from overall higher production sales volume.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • a negative sales mix, including additional depreciation expense from recent new program investments;
  • an unfavourable impact from a year-over-year change in foreign exchange rates in Mexico; and
  • operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities.

Overall market related inflationary pressures on labour, material and energy costs, along with offsetting commercial settlements, were generally stable for the quarter on a year-over-year basis.

ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME

Adjusted Net Income excludes certain items as set out in the following table and described in the notes thereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income as a measurement of operating performance of the Company and believes that, in conjunction with IFRS measures, it provides useful information about the financial performance and condition of the Company.

TABLE A

Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share$0.62  $0.54   

(1)        Restructuring costs

Additions to the restructuring provision during the first quarter of 2024 totaled $6.3 million, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in Mexico ($2.8 million), Germany ($1.7 million), Canada ($1.2 million), and the United States ($0.6 million).

(2)        Net gain on disposal of equity investments

On March 24, 2023, Martinrea sold its equity interest in VoltaXplore Inc. ("VoltaXplore) to NanoXplore Inc. ("NanoXplore") for 3,420,406 common shares of NanoXplore at $2.92 per share representing an aggregate consideration of $10.0 million. The sale transaction resulted in a gain on disposal of equity investments during the first quarter of 2023 as follows:

Gross gain (Total consideration of $10.0 million less book value of investment)$6,821 
Less: gain attributable to indirect retained interest (1,548)
Net gain on disposal of equity investments$5,273 

Subsequent to this transaction, the Company no longer holds a direct equity interest in VoltaXplore while its equity ownership interest in NanoXplore increased from 21.1% to 22.7%.

NET INCOME

Three months ended March 31, 2024 to three months ended March 31, 2023 comparison

 Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended March 31, 2023 $ Change % Change
Net Income$43,650 $48,171 (4,521) (9.4%)
Adjusted Net Income 48,097  43,597 4,500  10.3%
Net Earnings per Share       
Basic and Diluted$0.56 $0.60    
Adjusted Net Earnings per Share       
Basic and Diluted$0.62 $0.54    

Net Income, before adjustments, for the first quarter of 2024 decreased by $4.5 million to $43.7 million or $0.56 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Net Income of $48.2 million or $0.60 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2024 increased by $4.5 million to $48.1 million or $0.62 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $43.6 million or $0.54 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the first quarter of 2023, was positively impacted by the following:

  • higher gross margin as previously explained; and
  • a net foreign exchange gain of $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2023.

These factors were partially offset by the following:

  • a $1.7 million year-over-year increase in research and development costs driven generally by increased new product and process development activity;
  • a $1.1 million year-over-year increase in finance expense as a result of increased borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt; and
  • a higher effective tax rate (24.6% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 20.7% for the first quarter of 2023).

DIVIDEND

A cash dividend of $0.05 per share has been declared by the Board of Directors payable to shareholders of record on June 30, 2024, on or about July 15, 2024.
