AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 9, 2022-- Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: AMOT) (“Allied Motion” or “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of precision and specialty controlled motion products and solutions for the global market, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. Results include the acquisitions of ORMEC Systems Corp. on November 2, 2021, ALIO Industries on November 4, 2021, and Spectrum Controls, Inc. on December 30, 2021. All share and per share information reflect the April 30, 2021 3-for-2 stock dividend.

“Our results continue to demonstrate the successful execution of our strategic growth initiatives. For 2021, sales to our Industrial markets reached all-time highs and our Vehicle markets returned to pre-pandemic levels. Encouragingly, we also grew our Medical markets despite extremely tough comparisons from the prior year that saw significant demand for our products and solutions during the height of the pandemic,” commented Dick Warzala, Chairman and CEO. “We are also pleased with our gross margin expansion in both the quarter and full year period in spite of the overall inefficiencies created by the global supply chain and labor constraints. We believe our diversified market strategy that is focused on margin enhancing solutions, as well as our ability to flex our business model to meet shifting customer demands helped drive our results, and importantly, sets us up well when macro challenges subside.

“As we look ahead to 2022 and beyond, our backlog and bookings remain robust, and we plan to continue to prudently invest to drive our organic growth engine while looking to further supplement our efforts with selective strategic acquisitions. Collectively, the three acquisitions at the end of 2021 are expected to provide incremental revenue of approximately $60 million in 2022 and be accretive to gross margins and earnings. While we continue to contend with ongoing material and labor inflation challenges, we remain encouraged with the progress we have made, the initiatives we are undertaking and how well positioned we are for long-term, sustainable growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results (Narrative compares with prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue increased 4% to $96.8 million and reflected higher demand in the Industrial markets and incremental revenue from acquisitions completed in the quarter. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on revenue of $0.9 million, revenue was up 5%. Sales to U.S. customers were 54% of total sales compared with 53% in the same period last year, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific. See the attached table for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation of revenue excluding foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Sales to Industrial markets were up 29% in the quarter and benefitted from continued economic recovery in a number of verticals, including oil & gas, vehicle handling, industrial automation and electronics solutions for motor control and instrumentation. Also contributing to the overall revenue growth was Distribution and Medical sales growth of 14% and 3%, respectively. Partially offsetting, were lower sales in the Vehicle markets of 12% largely due to supply chain challenges and Aerospace & Defense markets, which declined 19% due to the timing of specific defense programs.

Gross margin was 28.7%, up 80 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was largely attributable to improved mix and strategic pricing, which more than offset continued global supply chain challenges and rising material and labor costs.

Operating costs and expenses as a percent of revenue were 24.5%, up 170 basis points, of which 100 basis points was attributable to higher business development costs given the three acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter and the optimization of the Company’s global manufacturing footprint. The remaining operating expense increase was largely within sales and marketing expenses, which reflected higher commissions and incentive compensation as well as trade show costs resuming in 2021. As a result, operating income was $4.0 million, or 4.1% of sales, compared with $4.8 million, or 5.1%, in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Net income was $1.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Adjusted net income, which excludes business development costs and other non-recurring items, was $2.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $2.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2020. The effective tax rate was 53.9% compared with 26.2% in the prior-year period. The higher tax rate reflected a $0.5 million valuation allowance of a deferred tax asset in a foreign jurisdiction, as well as the mix of income from higher tax rate jurisdictions. The Company expects its income tax rate for full year 2022 to be approximately 24% to 26%. See the attached tables for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation table for Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, business development costs, and foreign currency gains/losses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $11.1 million, up $1.2 million, or 12%. As a percent of sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 11.5%, up 80 basis points. The Company believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of its operating performance. See the attached table for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation table for Adjusted EBITDA.

Full Year 2021 Results (Narrative compares with prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue of $403.5 million increased $36.8 million, or 10%, reflecting strong growth in Industrial markets of 19% and Vehicle markets of 18%. Both markets benefited as economic conditions recovered from the pandemic and from the launch of new solution offerings. The impact of FX fluctuations was a favorable $8.3 million for the year. Sales to U.S. customers were 54% of total sales compared with 53% for the same period last year, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific.

Gross margin of 30.0% was up 40 basis points and reflected solid demand and improved mix and pricing, partially offset by increased costs given global supply chain disruptions and rising material and labor costs.

Operating costs and expenses as a percent of revenue were 23.6%, up 30 basis points largely due to an increase in business development costs associated with acquisitions and the optimization of the Company’s global manufacturing footprint. Operating income was $26.0 million, up from $23.0 million, and as a percent of revenue was 6.4%, up 10 basis points.

Net income was $24.1 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, compared with $13.6 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. The increase reflects a net discrete tax benefit of $7.4 million recorded in the first quarter of 2021 relating to new legislation enacted in New Zealand, which contributed to the effective tax rate of (4.2)% for the year compared with 27.3% in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $18.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with $14.3 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% to $49.9 million from $43.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.4% was up 60 basis points. See the attached tables for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation table for Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

Cash and cash equivalents were $22.5 million compared with $23.1 million at year-end 2020. Full year net cash provided by operations was $25.4 million and was primarily used to fund capital expenditures of $13.7 million and for acquisitions during the 2021 fourth quarter. The capital investments were largely focused on new customer projects and ERP implementations. The Company expects 2022 capital expenditures to be approximately $15 million to $20 million.

Total debt of $159.0 million was up $38.9 million from year-end 2020, reflecting borrowings for acquisitions. For the full year period, the Company paid down $12.2 million in debt. Debt, net of cash, was $136.5 million, or 42.1% of net debt to capitalization. The Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in its credit agreement, was 3.0x at year-end.

ALLIED MOTION TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

In addition to reporting revenue and net income, which are U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measures, the Company presents Revenue excluding foreign currency exchange rate impacts, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, business development costs, foreign currency gains/losses, and non-income based tax assessment), which are non-GAAP measures.

The Company believes that Revenue excluding foreign currency exchange rate impacts is a useful measure in analyzing organic sales results. The Company excludes the effect of currency translation from revenue for this measure because currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The portion of revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between the current period revenue and the current period revenue after applying foreign exchange rates from the prior period.

The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are often a useful measure of a Company’s operating performance and are a significant basis used by the Company’s management to evaluate and compare the core operating performance of its business from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense, business development costs, foreign currency gains/losses on short-term assets and liabilities, and other items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s calculation of Revenue excluding foreign currency exchange impacts for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are defined as net income as reported, adjusted for unusual non-recurring items. Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States, and may not be comparable to the measure as used by other companies. Nevertheless, the Company believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and diluted EPS are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current year’s net income and diluted EPS to the historical periods’ net income and diluted EPS.
