Insights

Astec's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While net sales decreased 1.3% to $345.5 million, implied orders increased 5.9% sequentially. The goodwill impairment charge of $20.2 million significantly impacted profitability, resulting in a diluted EPS of $(0.61). However, adjusted EPS of $0.61 shows underlying performance.

The divergence between segments is notable. Infrastructure Solutions saw an 11% sales increase, while Materials Solutions declined. This reflects varying market conditions and could impact future segment strategies. The backlog reduction of 22.9% to $531.1 million warrants attention, though it's stabilizing.

Positively, international sales grew 15.4%, indicating geographical diversification. The ongoing ERP implementation, while costly, should drive long-term efficiencies. Overall, Astec faces near-term challenges but shows resilience in key areas.

The market dynamics for Astec are complex but potentially favorable. The federal highway bill spending is in its early stages, with only ~20% of funds disbursed and 38% committed. This suggests significant future demand for Astec's infrastructure solutions.

State budgets are also promising, with a 12% year-over-year increase in fiscal year 2024, following an 11% rise in 2023. This trend could boost local infrastructure projects, benefiting Astec's product lines.

However, the Materials Solutions segment faces headwinds due to finance capacity constraints with contractors and dealers, leading to longer product conversions. This highlights the importance of economic conditions and credit availability in the industry. The anticipated improvement in market dynamics in the latter half of the year could be important for this segment's recovery.

Astec's ongoing ERP implementation is a significant technological undertaking. The company has already launched the human capital resources module in the U.S. and converted operations at three manufacturing sites. This standardization across the global organization should enhance operational efficiency and data management.

However, the decision to reduce the scope to exclude sites outside North America indicates potential challenges in the global rollout. The extended timeline to 2027 and increased cost estimate of $180 to $200 million suggest a complex implementation process.

While the short-term costs are substantial, peaking at $40 to $45 million in 2024, the long-term benefits could include improved decision-making, streamlined processes and better resource allocation. The success of this tech transformation will be important for Astec's future competitiveness in the industry.

Second Quarter 2024 Overview (all comparisons are made to the corresponding prior year second quarter unless otherwise specified):

  • Net sales of $345.5 million decreased 1.3% from the record sales in the prior year.
  • Implied orders increased 5.9% sequentially from the first quarter.
  • Inventory initiatives drove $28.7 million sequential reduction from the first quarter.
  • Diluted EPS of $(0.61), which included an $0.89 per share impact related to goodwill impairment, compared to $0.58; Adjusted EPS of $0.61 compared to $0.87.
  • Backlog of $531.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
  • Federal highway bill spending in the early stages of deployment, with only ~ 20% funds disbursed and 38% committed. Total state budgets are up 12% year-over-year in fiscal year 2024 following an 11% increase in fiscal year 2023.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astec Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASTE) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We are pleased with the trajectory of our second quarter performance, specifically, the overall 5.9% increase in implied orders in spite of difficult market conditions for our Materials Solutions segment. Our Infrastructure Solutions segment not only experienced an 11.0% increase in sales during the quarter, but also saw a robust increase in implied orders, due to high demand across the construction industry, especially for asphalt and concrete plants. Our Materials Solutions segment experienced a decline in sales, driven by continued finance capacity constraints with contractors and dealers and longer product conversions, but saw positive movement in implied orders," said Jaco van der Merwe, Chief Executive Officer. "We anticipate market dynamics to improve across both groups in the latter half of the year and anticipate benefits from our transformation programs in future operating results."

Mr. van der Merwe continued, "Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the outlook for both interest rates and in the domestic road building market. Further, we are taking proactive steps to drive further cost efficiencies and these actions, coupled with pricing and operational enhancements, will support our continued focus on margin improvement."

All comparisons are made to the prior year second quarter:

  • Net sales decreased primarily due to softness in Materials Solutions this quarter, which saw lower equipment sales, attributable to finance capacity constraints with contractors and dealers, as well as longer product conversions.
  • International sales saw a strong increase of $9.8 million, up 15.4% year-over-year, given heightened activity in Canada, Mexico, Africa and Europe, partially offset by declines in Australia and Brazil.
  • Backlog continues to stabilize and approach our historical range, supported by strong performance in Infrastructure Solutions.
  • During the second quarter of 2024, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test on the Materials Solutions reporting unit. Based on that test, we recognized a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $20.2 million to fully impair the goodwill allocated to the Materials Solutions reporting unit, which was a significant contributor to the $10.7 million loss from operations.
  • Operating margin decreased 800 basis points due to the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Increased selling, general and administrative costs were largely driven by increased in technology support and certain professional service costs and higher provision for a credit loss partially offset by lower customer concessions and dealer commissions.
  • Adjusted net income of $14.0 million and Adjusted EPS of $0.61 exclude $28.0 million and $1.22, respectively, of incremental costs, net of tax, primarily driven by goodwill impairment, and transformation program costs.

Segments Results

Our two reportable segments are comprised of sites based upon the nature of the products or services produced, the type of customer for the products, the similarity of economic characteristics, the manner in which management reviews results and the nature of the production process, among other considerations. Based on a review of these factors, our Australia and LatAm sites, which were previously reported in the Infrastructure Solutions segment have moved to the Materials Solutions segment and Astec Digital, which was previously included in the Corporate and Other category has moved to the Infrastructure Solutions segment, each beginning January 1, 2024. Prior periods have been revised to reflect the changes for the segment composition for comparability.

Infrastructure Solutions - Road building equipment, asphalt and concrete plants, thermal storage solutions and related aftermarket parts.

  • Net sales of $221.4 million increased 11.0% as the infrastructure construction market remains strong with healthy demand for asphalt and concrete plant deliveries anticipated through the beginning of 2025.
  • Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA of $27.2 million compared to $25.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.3% decreased 60 basis points, reflecting manufacturing inefficiencies at select sites. This, and higher selling, general and administrative costs, partially offset positive net volume, mix and pricing net of inflation as well as favorable other period costs.

Materials Solutions - Processing equipment to crush, screen and convey aggregates and related aftermarket parts.

  • Net sales of $124.1 million decreased by 17.7% primarily due to lower equipment sales attributable to finance capacity constraints with contractors and dealers resulting in fewer product conversions. Dealer quoting remains solid for future bookings and sales.
  • Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA of $10.2 million decreased 44.3% and Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.2% decreased 390 basis points, due to lower net volume and mix, manufacturing inefficiencies, and higher selling, general and administrative costs that were partially offset by pricing net of inflation and other period costs.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity

  • Our total liquidity was $175.8 million, consisting of $60.6 million of cash and cash equivalents available for operating purposes and $115.2 million available for additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
  • Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $36.1 million to support the timing of collections of trade receivables and the payment of accounts payable.
  • Net cash consumed by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $12.6 million as compared to providing net cash of $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which included $20.1 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Capital expenditures decreased $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.
  • Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $49.5 million primarily due to higher net borrowings on our outstanding debt obligations.

Second Quarter Capital Allocation

  • Capital expenditure investments, primarily related to efficiency improvements, were $7.6 million.
  • Dividend payment of $0.13 per share.

Strategic Transformation Initiative Update

We are undergoing a multi-year phased implementation of a standardized ERP system across our global organization, which is replacing much of our existing disparate core financial systems. To date, we have launched the human capital resources module in our locations in the United States and converted the operations of three manufacturing sites along with Corporate, two of which occurred during the second quarter of 2024. We are changing the pace of deployment of future site conversions in order to improve efficiencies and reduce business disruptions at each manufacturing site, which will have the effect of reducing the scope to exclude sites outside North America. With these modifications, we expect the project to conclude in 2027 with total approximate implementation costs anticipated to range from $180 to $200 million. Through the second quarter of 2024, we have incurred total implementation costs of approximately $119 million. Annual costs are expected to peak in 2024 to a range of $40 to $45 million and decrease annually each year through the final implementations in 2027.

We present certain non-GAAP information that can be useful in understanding our operating results and the performance of our core business. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate financial performance against such budgets and targets. We exclude the costs and related tax effects, which are based on the statutory tax rate applicable to each respective item unless otherwise noted below, of the following items as we do not believe they are indicative of our core business operations:

  • Transformation program - Incremental costs related to the execution of our ongoing strategic transformation initiatives which may include personnel costs, third-party consultant costs, duplicative systems usage fees, administrative costs, accelerated depreciation and amortization on certain long-lived assets and other similar type charges. Transformation program initiatives include our multi-year phased implementation of a standardized enterprise resource planning system across the global organization and a lean manufacturing initiative at one of our largest manufacturing sites that was largely completed during 2023 with certain capital investments finalized in early 2024. Transformation program costs for the lean manufacturing initiative ceased at the end of 2023. These costs are included in "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general and administrative expenses", as appropriate, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
  • Restructuring and other related charges - Charges related to restructuring activities which primarily include personnel termination actions and reorganization efforts to simplify and consolidate our operations. These activities include the workforce reductions effected in the second quarter of 2024, the termination of our previous Chief Executive Officer, the limited overhead restructuring action implemented in February 2023 and ongoing litigation costs for our exited Enid location. These costs are recorded in "Restructuring, impairment and other asset charges, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
  • Goodwill impairment - Goodwill impairment charges, to the extent that they are experienced, are recorded in "Goodwill impairment" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges are associated with the impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Materials Solutions reporting unit during the second quarter of 2024. The goodwill impairment is largely nondeductible for tax purposes and, as such, the tax impact applied reflects the actual tax impact by jurisdiction.
  • Other impairment charges - Asset impairment charges, to the extent that they are experienced, are recorded in "Restructuring, impairment and other asset charges, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These include charges associated with abandoned in-process internally developed software that was determined to be impaired during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Gain on sale of property and equipment, net - Gains or losses recognized on the disposal of property and equipment that are recorded in "Restructuring, impairment and other asset charges, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We may sell or dispose of assets in the normal course of our business operations as they are no longer needed or used.
