"We are pleased with the operating and financial performance through the first nine months of the year," stated Michael S. McMillan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toromont Industries Ltd. "The Equipment Group executed well, delivering against the opening order backlog in line with customer schedules and improvement in inventory flow, coupled with good growth in rental and product support activity, as well as a continued focus on expense control. CIMCO revenue and bottom line improved in the quarter on good execution and higher product support activity. Across the organization, we continue to navigate through uncertain economic conditions and remain committed to our operating disciplines, driving our after-market strategies and delivering customer solutions."

HIGHLIGHTS:
Consolidated Results
  • Revenue increased $87.5 million or 8% in the third quarter compared to the similar period last year, with higher revenues in both groups. Equipment Group was up 7% in the quarter on higher equipment sales (up 7%), product support revenues (up 7%) and rental activity (up 11%). CIMCO revenue increased 15%, with progress on package sales (up 2%) and strong product support growth (up 29%).
  • Revenue increased $408.5 million (14%) to $3.4 billion for the year-to-date period. Revenue increased in both groups, with the Equipment Group up 13% and CIMCO up 17% year-to-date, on similar trends as noted for the quarter.
  • Operating income(1) increased 17% in the quarter reflecting the higher revenue and gross margins, along with the lower relative expense ratio. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 16.4% from 15.3% in the prior year.
  • Operating income increased 22% in the year-to-date period, and was 14.7% of revenue compared to 13.7% in the similar period last year, reflecting similar trends as noted for the quarter.
  • Net earnings from continuing operations increased $25.1 million or 21% in the quarter versus a year ago to $145.6 million or $1.77 EPS (basic) and $1.76 EPS (fully diluted).
  • For the year-to-date period, net earnings from continuing operations increased $83.2 million or 29% to $375.1 million, or $4.56 EPS (basic) and $4.52 EPS (fully diluted).
  • Bookings(1) for the third quarter decreased 5% compared to last year and increased 5% on a year‑to‑date basis. The Equipment Group reported lower bookings during the quarter (down 10%), after a strong start to the year and given the uncertain economic conditions. CIMCO reported increased bookings (up 18%) on good demand for our products and services. Year-to-date both groups reported increased bookings, with the Equipment Group up 4% and CIMCO up 17%.
  • Backlog(1) was $1.2 billion as at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 billion as at September 30, 2022, reflecting good order intake, progress on construction and delivery schedules as well as some improvement in equipment flow through the supply chain.
Equipment Group
  • Revenue was up $73.2 million or 7% to $1.1 billion for the quarter. Equipment sales (up 7%) improved across most markets. New equipment sales increased 5% on delivery against the opening order backlog, reflecting improving equipment availability and customer delivery schedules. Rental revenue continued to grow on higher market activity, good execution and an expanded heavy and light equipment fleet. Product support saw strong activity, with increases in both parts and service, reflecting good demand and increased technician levels.
  • Revenue was up $364.7 million or 13% to $3.1 billion for the year-to-date period, across most geographical markets and revenue streams, with similar trends as noted for the quarter.
  • Operating income increased $21.1 million or 13% in the third quarter, reflecting the higher revenue and gross margins.
  • Operating income increased $76.2 million or 19% to $472.3 million in the year-to-date period, reflecting the higher revenue and gross margins. Operating income margin increased 80 bps to 15.3%, with a lower relative expense level.
  • Bookings in the third quarter were $322.8 million, a decrease of 10%, after a stronger start to the year. Bookings in the first nine months of 2023 were $1.3 billion, an increase of 4% from the prior year, with good activity in Mining. Construction market remains cautious given current business and economic factors which continue to override normal seasonality.
  • Backlog of $1.0 billion at the end of September 2023 was down $190.3 million or 16% from the end of September 2022, reflecting improving equipment delivery from manufacturers as well as planned deliveries against customer orders.
CIMCO
  • Revenue increased $14.3 million or 15% compared to the third quarter last year, with slightly higher package revenue (up 2%) on the progression of construction schedules, coupled with higher product support revenue (up 29%) on good market activity.
  • Revenue increased $43.8 million or 17% to $299.1 million for the year-to-date period on higher package revenue (up 15%), mainly lead by an increase in the industrial market, offset by lower recreational market activity compared to the same period last year. Product support sales also increased (up 20%) on higher activity in both Canada and the US. The timing of construction schedules continues to be somewhat impacted by supply chain constraints, affecting the comparability of reported package revenue between periods.
  • Operating income increased $6.3 million or 100% for the quarter on higher revenue and higher gross margins, partly offset by higher selling and administrative expenses in support of the increased activity levels.
  • Operating income was up $14.8 million or 118% to $27.4 million for the year-to-date period, for similar reasons as the quarter. Operating income margin increased to 9.1% (2022 was 4.9%) reflecting higher gross margins and lower relative expense levels.
  • Bookings increased 18% in the third quarter to $86.0 million, and increased 17% for the year-to-date period to $189.7 million. Booking activity can be variable from quarter to quarter based on customer schedules.
  • Backlog of $245.3 million at September 30, 2023 was up $42.7 million or 21% from last year, reflecting good order intake, and some deferral or delay in construction schedules resulting from supply chain constraints.
Financial Position
  • Toromont's share price of $110.62 at the end of September 2023, translated to market capitalization(1) of $9.1 billion and total enterprise value(1) of $9.0 billion.
  • The Company maintained a strong financial position. Leverage as represented by the net debt to total capitalization(1) ratio was -7% at the end of September 2023, compared to -14% at the end of December 2022 and -6% at the end of September 2022. The change in the ratio reflects significant investments made in working capital and capital assets in order to support current and future activity levels.
  • The Company purchased 238,000 common shares for $25.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 (473,100 common shares for $48.5 million for the comparative period). The Company renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid in September 2023.
  • The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.43 cents per share, payable on January 4, 2024 to shareholders on record on December 8, 2023.
  • The Company's return on equity(1) was 24.3% at the end of September 2023, on a trailing twelve-month basis, compared to 23.3% at the end of December 2022 and 21.5% at the end of September 2022. Trailing twelve month pre‑tax return on capital employed(1) was 31.5% at the end of September 2023, compared to 32.5% at the end of December 2022 and 30.4% at the end of September 2022.

"We are mindful of the uncertain economic environment and continue to monitor key metrics and supply‑dynamics," continued Mr. McMillan. "We have seen some softening in demand for equipment in construction markets after a period of strong growth. We will continue to follow our disciplined approach, working our operational model while delivering results for our customers, suppliers and employees. While focused on managing discretionary spend, we continue to recruit technicians, to support our critical after-market service strategies and value‑added product offering over the long term."

NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP measures provides users of the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A with important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. By considering these measures in combination with the comparable IFRS measures set out below, management believes that users are provided a better overall understanding of the Company's business and its financial performance during the relevant period than if they simply considered the IFRS measures alone.

The non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for net income or cash flow, in each case as determined in accordance with IFRS.

Management also uses key performance indicators to enable consistent measurement of performance across the organization. These KPIs are non-GAAP financial measures, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Gross Profit / Gross Profit Margin

Gross Profit is defined as total revenue less cost of goods sold.  

Gross Profit Margin is defined as gross profit (defined above) divided by total revenue.

Operating Income / Operating Income Margin

Operating income is defined as net income from continuing operations before interest expense, interest and investment income and income taxes and is used by management to assess and evaluate the financial performance of its operating segments. Financing and related interest charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments do not correspond to income tax jurisdictions and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of the business segments.

Operating income margin is defined as operating income (defined above) divided by total revenue.

Market Capitalization & Total Enterprise Value

Market capitalization represents the total market value of the Company's equity. It is calculated by multiplying the closing share price of the Company's common shares by the total number of common shares outstanding. 

Total enterprise value represents the total value of the Company and is often used as a more comprehensive alternative to market capitalization. It is calculated by adding debt/net debt (defined above) to market capitalization.

Order Bookings and Backlog

Order bookings represent the retail value of firm equipment or project orders received during a period. Backlog is defined as the retail value of equipment units ordered by customers with future delivery, and the remaining retail value of package/project orders remaining to be recognized in revenue under the percentage of completion method. Management uses order backlog as a measure of projecting future equipment and project deliveries. There are no directly comparable IFRS measures for order bookings or backlog.

Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE")

ROCE is utilized to assess both current operating performance and prospective investments. The adjusted earnings numerator used for the calculation is income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense and interest income (excluding interest on rental conversions). The denominator in the calculation is the monthly average capital employed, which is defined as net debt plus shareholders' equity, also referred to as total capitalization, adjusted for discontinued operations.
