Updating 2019 guidance due to currency headwinds and end market softening |
Sarasota, FL, August 5, 2019 — Helios Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global industrial technology leader that develops and manufactures solutions for both the hydraulics and electronics markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2019, ended June 29, 2019. The results include Faster Group since its acquisition on April 5, 2018 and Custom Fluidpower (CFP) since its acquisition on August 1, 2018.
Wolfgang Dangel, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with the quality of earnings produced in both segments of the business, even on the lower than anticipated sales. While neither segment was able to drive top line sequential growth, margins were up across the board compared with the first quarter of 2019. Our Electronics segment experienced softer sales than we expected, but we were successful at managing our costs and output, driving improvement at both the gross and operating margin levels while we continue to make significant investments in R&D for new OEM projects scheduled to start production in 2020 and 2021. Our Hydraulics segment also realized organic margin expansion in the second quarter over the first quarter. This improvement was driven by efficiencies following completion of the CVT manufacturing consolidation project which resulted in increased capacity as expected. However, our Hydraulics sales for the second quarter, particularly for our CVT products, were below our expectations. Aside from softening in certain end markets, we had sufficient backlog and demand in total, but the sales mix precluded us from maximizing the newly designed capacity in our Sarasota facilities. This variation in product mix impacted our production scheduling and output during the quarter. Once our production mix is normalized, the CVT manufacturing consolidation project is expected to drive 15% added capacity within our Sarasota facilities by the end of this year, allowing us to further leverage our fixed cost base.
“From an economic standpoint, clearly there is softening in many markets globally,” continued Dangel. “We believe that some of the lower demand is resulting from macroeconomic factors like the trade war and general geopolitical uncertainty, while the remainder is due to the economic cycle. On a sequential basis from the first quarter of 2019 to the second quarter, several end markets such as global mining and U.S. construction still demonstrated resilience. However, several of our other end markets, including recreational and material handling, have further softened. European agriculture remains weak as does oil and gas in the Americas. Most recently, we have started to see a decline in the construction equipment market in APAC, specifically in South Korea. We are continuing to take market share in other areas within APAC, which drove high single digit sequential growth in that region.”

Mr. Dangel added, “Despite the further economic softening, we continue to advance our strategic initiatives. History has shown that these end markets recover quite quickly from cyclical downturns and we plan to have the capacity available to service our customers and win in the marketplace when our end markets recover. We are pleased to report that we began shipping products from our newly opened facility in China in June and will be increasing our output as we progress through the year. This project, which was completed ahead of schedule, strengthens our ‘in the region, for the region’ initiative in support of demand in the growing China market. Also, acquisition synergy realization continues, including the production of CVT components at the Faster facilities in both Europe and the U.S.”

Hydraulics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)
Segment sales of $113.7 million increased 10% over the prior-year second quarter. The $10.1 million increase included $12.6 million from the acquired CFP business and flat organic sales, partially offset by $2.5 million of unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Demand continued to be strong in the Americas region with organic sales increasing 4%. The Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) region declined 4% and Asia/Pacific (APAC) region sales remained flat organically, both excluding the $2.6 million effect of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Second quarter 2019 gross margin of 37.3% was down from the prior year’s 38.0%. Organic gross margin improved but was offset by the impact of CFP’s value-add integrator business model which reduced gross margin by approximately 150 basis points in the quarter.
Higher SEA expenses in the 2019 second quarter included $2.3 million for the CFP business as well as investments to support the growth and change in structure of Helios.
As a result of the above, second quarter operating income decreased to $24.1 million, representing 21.2% of sales, compared with 24.5% last year.

August 5, 2019
Page 5 of 14
For the first half, segment sales grew $64.0 million, or 39%, to $230.2 million, compared with the 2018 first half. The growth included $61.6 million of acquisition revenue contributed by Faster and CFP, and 4% organic growth excluding the $3.6 million impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Operating income for the first half was $47.9 million, or 20.8% of sales.
Electronics Segment Review
(Refer to sales by geographic region and segment data in accompanying tables)
Segment sales were $30.1 million for the 2019 second quarter, a 7% decrease compared with the second quarter of last year. The decline was primarily due to softer demand in recreational and oil and gas end markets as well as a release of contractual obligations to allow the Company to offer all products to a broader and more diversified customer base. Foreign currency translation had a $0.1 million unfavorable impact on segment sales in the quarter.
Second quarter 2019 gross margin expanded to 45.8%, from 43.4% last year. Net price increases and cost management efforts which resulted in production efficiencies drove the improvement.
SEA costs decreased by $0.3 million in the quarter compared with last year.
Operating income was $6.5 million in the second quarters of both 2019 and 2018, with the 2019 operating margin improving to 21.6% from 20.0% last year.
For the first half, segment sales were down 10% to $60.5 million, compared with the 2018 first half. Foreign currency had a $0.4 million unfavorable impact. Despite the sales decline, operating income was $13.0 million, with the 2019 first half operating margin improving to 21.5% from 20.2% last year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
Total debt was $345.1 million at June 29, 2019, down from $352.7 million at the end of 2018. Cash and cash equivalents at June 29, 2019 were $13.3 million after using available cash to reduce debt at the end of the quarter, compared with $23.5 million at December 29, 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company paid $17.8 million as the third and final payment due on the Enovation Controls contingent consideration liability. As a result, the net debt to EBITDA ratio increased to 2.4x at June 29, 2019 compared with 2.3x at March 30, 2019.
Cash provided by operations was $25.4 million and $31.1 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was impacted by $10.7 million of the contingent consideration payment and a net increase in working capital, partially offset by improved cash from earnings.
Capital expenditures were $15.4 million and $10.6 million in the first halves of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily for manufacturing technology enhancements, equipment to complete the Company’s CVT manufacturing consolidation project in Sarasota, machinery and leasehold improvements for the Company’s new China facility, equipment to support CVT’s new engineering center of excellence and the addition of the Faster business. Capital expenditures in 2019 are estimated to be $30 million to $35 million, in support of the Company’s ongoing investments to drive its innovative leadership.

Mr. Dangel noted, “We are updating our guidance for 2019 in light of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as softening end market conditions, exacerbated by the potential impact of recently announced tariffs. A high percentage of the change in our revenue guidance is attributable to the unfavorable impact of currency changes. The remainder is due to the impact of further softening in the recreational and oil and gas markets on our Electronics segment as well as the impact of general market softening on our Hydraulics segment, partially offset by the revenue anticipated from our strong backlog.
“The reduction in our revenue expectations will only have a modest impact on our adjusted EBITDA margin expectations and we still expect to grow our bottom line. We are adapting and adjusting our business processes to respond to the current environment, while continuing to capture the synergies from our acquisitions and execute our long-term strategic initiatives. Our focus remains on making investments to further globalize our business, advancing our state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, and introducing innovative market-leading products and solutions that result in market share gains. We reiterate the goals we established for Vision 2025,” Mr. Dangel concluded.

Helios Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results
August 5, 2019
Page 14 of 14
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are important for investors and other readers of Helios’s financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios’s management to better understand operating performance. Because adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, cash net income and cash net income per diluted share, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
