Insights

Crane NXT maintains guidance despite mixed Q2 results, with 9% revenue growth but declining margins across segments.

Crane NXT delivered a 9.1% increase in quarterly revenue, reaching $404.4 million, primarily driven by acquisitions and favorable foreign exchange rather than organic growth. The core sales decline of 0.8% aligns with management expectations but reveals underlying weakness, particularly in the CPI segment. Most concerning is the substantial margin compression across both business segments. The company's adjusted operating profit margin contracted 290 basis points to 21.2%, reflecting operational challenges.

The segment performance tells a nuanced story. The CPI segment experienced a 5.8% revenue decline and a 300 basis point decrease in adjusted operating margin to 27.0%, indicating weakening demand in its payment solutions market. Meanwhile, the SAT segment posted impressive 32.0% revenue growth but saw adjusted margins contract by 270 basis points to 20.6%, suggesting integration challenges with recent acquisitions (OpSec Security and De La Rue Authentication).

The company's adjusted free cash flow conversion of approximately 120% is a bright spot, improving from $53.9 million to $67.4 million year-over-year due to better working capital management. However, total debt increased substantially from $750.6 million to $1,129.2 million, likely related to acquisition financing.

Management's decision to maintain full-year EPS guidance of $4.00 to $4.30 despite margin pressure suggests confidence in stronger second-half performance, potentially through accelerated realization of operational synergies from recent acquisitions. The quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share remains unchanged, providing steady income for shareholders amid this transitional period of integration and margin challenges.

Delivers sales growth of 9%; Maintains full year EPS guidance of $4.00 to $4.30

Mr. Saak continued: “We continue to strengthen our leadership in the authentication market as we actively integrate De La Rue Authentication Solutions with OpSec Security, and we remain confident in the growth opportunities ahead.

Crane NXT reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted EPS, free cash flow, and Adjusted free cash flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior, to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane NXT. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted segment operating margin and Adjusted EPS, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on Crane NXT's future GAAP results. Crane NXT calculates Adjusted segment operating margin and Adjusted EPS as described below.

"Special items impacting operating profit" are items that are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. Special items impacting operating profit includes acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition related fair value step-up, and transaction related expenses.

  • "Adjusted segment operating margin" is calculated as Adjusted segment profit divided by sales. Adjusted segment profit is calculated as segment profit excluding special items impacting operating profit.
  • "Adjusted EPS" is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding special items impacting operating profit, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items.

The Company's management believes that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:

  • "Adjusted operating profit" and "Adjusted operating margin" add back to operating profit special items impacting operating profit which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance.
  • "Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude special items impacting operating profit, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance.
  • “Free cash flow,” “Adjusted free cash flow” and "Adjusted free cash flow conversion” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for certain cash items which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is calculated as Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin" exclude net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense from net income, as well as special items impacting operating profit. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
  • "Net leverage ratio" refers to Net debt divided by trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA. "Net debt" represents total debt (excluding deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our ability to satisfy our debt obligation with currently available funds.
  • References to "core," such as "core sales," exclude currency effects and, where applicable, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in identifying underlying growth trends in our business and facilitate comparison of our sales performance, for example, with prior and future periods that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

Impact of acquisition related fair value step-up includes acquisition related inventory step-up amortization and fixed asset step-up depreciation. Transaction related expenses include acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of acquisitions, and expenses associated with the Separation in prior periods. Restructuring charges include severance and other costs related to the integration of the DLR and OpSec acquisitions to form the Crane Authentication business within the SAT segment, and the alignment of CPI's cost structure with existing economic conditions.
