H.B. Fuller Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Results

H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year that ended December 3, 2022.

Fiscal Year 2022 Noteworthy Items:

  • Net revenue of $3.75 billion, up 14% versus fiscal year 2021; organic revenue up 17% year-on-year, driven by responsibly strong pricing execution;
  • Net income of $180 million or $3.26 per share (diluted); adjusted EPS of $4.00 per share (diluted), up 15% year-on-year; unfavorable foreign currency exchange reduced adjusted EPS by approximately $0.56, or 16% versus the prior year;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $530 million, up 14% year-on-year on pricing gains and strong execution, more than overcoming significant year-on-year raw material inflation and unfavorable foreign currency impacts;
  • Cash flow from operations of $257 million, up 20% year-on-year;
  • As a reminder, there was one additional reporting week in fiscal year 2022, which positively impacted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth versus 2021 by approximately 2% for the year and 7.5% for the fourth quarter; the definition of organic growth excludes the impact of the extra week.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Noteworthy Items:

  • Net revenue of $958 million, up 7% year-on-year; organic revenue increased 6% year-on-year, driven by strong organic growth in both Hygiene, Health, and Consumable and Engineering Adhesives and solid pricing execution in all three GBUs;
  • Net Income was $48 million; adjusted EBITDA of $141 million was up 5% year-on-year and adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.7%;
  • Reported EPS (diluted) was $0.87; adjusted EPS (diluted) was $1.04, down slightly versus the prior year due to raw material inflation, higher interest expense and unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacts; unfavorable foreign currency exchange reduced adjusted EPS in the quarter by approximately $0.22, or 20% versus the prior year;
  • Net working capital, as a percentage of annualized net revenue, decreased 100 basis points sequentially from 18.9% in the third quarter to 17.9% in the fourth quarter;
  • Net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio declined sequentially from 3.6X to 3.2X driven by improved cash flow from operations and growth in adjusted EBITDA.

Fiscal Year 2022 Summary:

Net revenue for fiscal year 2022 was $3.75 billion, up 14% versus fiscal year 2021. Organic revenue was up 17% year-on-year, with volume up 1% and the rest of the increase driven by higher year-on-year pricing. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates reduced net revenue growth by 5.8 percentage points, acquisitions increased net revenue growth by 1.6 percentage points, and the extra week in the fiscal year increased net revenue growth by 2.0 percentage points.

Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for fiscal 2022 was $180 million, or $3.26 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller was $221 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, up 15% compared to $3.47 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2022 was $530 million, up 14% versus adjusted EBITDA of $467 million in fiscal year 2021.

Summary of Fourth Quarter 2022 Results:

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $958 million, up 7% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Organic revenue was up 6.4% year-on-year, as strong pricing actions increased revenue by 11.4% and volume was down 5.0% due to a slowdown in end market demand, particularly in Construction Adhesives, and softness in China due to more severe COVID-related lockdowns. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates reduced net revenue growth by 8.7 percentage points, acquisitions increased net revenue growth by 1.6 percentage points, and the extra week in the fourth quarter increased net revenue growth by 7.5 percentage points.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $248 million. Adjusted gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $251 million. Adjusted gross profit margin of 26.2% decreased 90 basis points year-on-year. Raw material inflation and lower volumes, particularly in Construction Adhesives, offset higher pricing versus the prior year and resulted in lower gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $158 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and adjusted SG&A was $153 million. Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net revenue decreased 130 basis points versus the fourth quarter of last year. The decrease in SG&A, as a percentage of net revenue, was driven by organic revenue growth, lower variable compensation and disciplined expense management.

Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $48 million, or $0.87 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $58 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.04 per diluted share, down slightly year-on-year due to unfavorable foreign currency translation and higher interest rates.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $141 million, up 5% compared with the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was relatively stable year-on-year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by strong pricing actions and good expense management, which offset the impact of significantly higher raw material costs and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

“We delivered double-digit growth in organic revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS in fiscal year 2022, driven by market share gains, appropriately strong pricing actions, and improved execution,” said Celeste Mastin, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “I am proud of our team’s resilience and determination in executing our winning strategy in the face of significant headwinds, including continued raw material cost inflation, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and higher interest rates.”

“At the same time, we recognize that we did not finish the year as strong as we had expected. During the fourth quarter, we experienced a more pronounced and accelerated slowdown in demand for Construction Adhesives than we anticipated, which was driven by customer inventory de-stocking actions prior to the end of the calendar year. Additionally, we experienced unexpected softness in China due to more dramatic COVID-related lockdowns and on a global basis, greater than expected headwinds from foreign currency translation.

“As we look to the year ahead, we expect global economic conditions to remain slow and we are prepared to control expenses, expand margins by continuing to innovate for our customers and benefiting from scale with our suppliers, and grow cash flow in such an environment. We have managed pricing well in the face of unprecedented raw material inflation and we have the tools and capabilities to drive profit growth and meaningful margin expansion going forward.

“We are confident and optimistic in our ability to drive organic growth, expand EBITDA margin, and grow EBITDA at a rate consistent with our long-term financial goal of annual double-digit EBITDA growth. We have many competitive advantages to leverage in the current economic environment. In addition to our ability to collaboratively innovate with customers to serve their needs, we have pricing analytics and discipline, robust product substitution capabilities, and a track record of executing nimbly. I have great confidence in our strategy, and I see tremendous potential for continued strong financial performance.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items:

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 net debt was $1,685 million, down $172 million sequentially versus the third quarter. The sequential reduction in net debt, together with growth in adjusted EBITDA, reduced the ratio of net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA from 3.6X to 3.2X sequentially.

Net working capital in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 declined $73 million sequentially versus the third quarter. As a percentage of annualized net revenue, net working capital declined 100 basis points sequentially from 18.9% in the third quarter to 17.9%. Cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter was $208 million, up $150 million sequentially versus the third quarter and up $156 million year-on-year, reflecting actions taken to reduce net working capital requirements.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook:

  • Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2023 is expected to be in the range of $580 million to $610 million, equating to growth of approximately 9% to 15% versus fiscal year 2022;
  • Revenue for 2023 is expected to be flat to down 3% versus 2022; organic revenue growth for fiscal year 2023 is expected to be in the range of 2% to 4%, adjusting for the impact of the extra week in fiscal year 2022;
  • Fiscal year 2023 will be a 52-week year compared to a 53-week year in fiscal year 2022, which will unfavorably impact year-on-year net revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth by approximately 2% in fiscal year 2023;
  • Foreign currency translation is expected to unfavorably impact net revenue growth by between 3% to 4% in fiscal year 2023, with the first half of the year being more heavily impacted given the significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar that occurred in the second half of fiscal year 2022;
  • The core tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, is anticipated to be between 27% and 29% in fiscal year 2023;
  • Net interest expense for fiscal 2023 is expected to be between $115 million and $125 million, up from fiscal year 2022, reflecting higher interest rates;
  • Adjusted EPS in fiscal year 2023 is expected to be in the range of $4.15 to $4.55, equating to growth of between 4% to 14% year-on-year, despite the significantly stronger U.S. dollar, higher borrowing costs, weakening global economic demand conditions, and one less week in fiscal 2023;
  • Operating cash flow in fiscal year 2023 is expected to be between $300 million and $350 million, being more weighted to the second half of the year, and capital expenditures are expected to be $120 million.

13 We use the term “organic revenue” to refer to net revenue, excluding the effect of foreign currency changes and acquisitions and divestitures. Organic growth reflects adjustments for the impact of period-over-period changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues, the revenues associated with acquisitions and divestitures and the revenues associated with an extra week in 2022 as it was a 53 week year.
