"Enpro had an outstanding 2022 driven by our team's continued excellent execution and the resilience of our operating model. Our optimized portfolio delivered strong revenue growth and margin expansion in excess of 400 basis points for the year, as our teams demonstrated agility to deliver for our customers in the face of continued macroeconomic uncertainty," said Eric Vaillancourt, President and Chief Executive Officer. “2022 was a milestone year for Enpro as we completed the divestiture portion of our portfolio reshaping strategy with the exit of the Engineered Materials segment. We are moving forward with a strong foundation of high-margin businesses in secular growth markets that position us for continued profitable growth and value creation."

Mr. Vaillancourt continued, “We are well positioned to build on the progress achieved in 2022 by continuing to execute on our strategic pillars. Our teams are motivated to outperform in a challenging economic environment by focusing on enhancing our portfolio with innovative solutions and investing in long-term growth opportunities to drive profitability.

*Non-GAAP measure. See the attached schedules for adjustments and reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures. No reconciliation is presented for the 2023 guidance range of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Because of the forward-looking nature of these estimates, it is impractical to present quantitative reconciliations of such measures to comparable GAAP measures.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations

Sales of $271.9 million increased 27.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The company saw strong demand in most major end markets in the fourth quarter with successful pricing strategies contributing to total revenue growth.

Corporate expenses of $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 were down from $27.8 million a year ago driven primarily by the reduction in acquisition related expenses associated with the NxEdge transaction, even though incentive compensation expenses, mainly driven by share price performance during the quarter, increased corporate expense by $2.4 million.

Loss from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. was $57.5 million, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the prior-year period, driven by the non-cash goodwill impairment charge detailed below. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. of $30.8 million increased 49.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Diluted loss per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. continuing operations was $(2.76), compared to a diluted loss per share of ($0.08) in the prior-year period, and adjusted diluted earnings per share* of $1.47 increased 48.5% from the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 19.6% increased 160 basis points compared to the prior-year period driven primarily by year-over-year volume growth, strategic pricing actions and operational efficiencies, partially offset by the continuation of inflationary raw material, freight and labor costs and late-quarter weakness in semiconductor equipment demand that adversely impacted results in the Advanced Surface Technologies segment.

Garlock, STEMCO, and Technetics Group

• Sales increased 9.0% versus the prior-year period.

Goodwill Impairment Analysis

In November 2022, during regular annual impairment testing, the projection of Alluxa’s current expected cash flows were below previously assessed estimates, and the discount rate to determine fair value was significantly higher. The projection and analysis indicated that the book value of the Alluxa reporting unit, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, exceeded fair value by $65.2 million, which has been recognized as an impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2022. The discount rate to determine the fair value of Alluxa increased from 12.0% as of November 1, 2021 to 14.6% as of November 1, 2022, resulting in a $50 million decline in the fair value of the Alluxa reporting unit utilizing the income approach.

Quarterly Dividend

Primary Segment Operating Performance Measure

The primary metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is adjusted segment EBITDA, which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains/losses related to the sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of adjusted segment EBITDA. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the primary metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is required to be disclosed in financial statement footnotes, and accordingly such metric as presented for each segment is not deemed to be a non-GAAP measure under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in conformity with GAAP. They include adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total adjusted segment EBITDA and free cash flow. Tables showing the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are attached to the release. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for full year 2023 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures in the attached tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of these estimates, it is impractical to present quantitative reconciliations of such measures to comparable GAAP measures, and accordingly no such GAAP measures are being presented.

Management believes these non-GAAP metrics are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and, when read in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate the company’s ongoing operations and performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the factors the company uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its businesses. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
