Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology for diverse end markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2024. Results include our most recent flywheel acquisitions of Schultes Precision Manufacturing, Inc. (or “Schultes”), which was acquired on January 27, 2023, and i3 Product Development, Inc. (or “i3”), which was acquired on May 26, 2023.
“The Helios team delivered a solid start to the year as we execute on our 2024 financial priorities of achieving profitable sales growth, driving operating leverage, generating cash, and reducing debt. All regions contributed to total sequential sales growth of 10%, most encouragingly both EMEA and Asia contributed the most in absolute dollars, even with some softness in a few end markets. The combination of improved volume, financial discipline, and actions taken in the second half of 2023 to protect the business drove measurable gross and operating margin expansion sequentially. These results reinforce our confidence that we can achieve our stated goals for 2024,” said Josef Matosevic, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helios.
“All the work the Helios team has achieved over the last several years to transform the business into an integrated operating company is starting to show positive traction. We have formally entered the commercial food service market winning some initial customers there and expect this to grow over time. We also just announced that we are partnering with WaterGuru. We are bringing to market state-of-the-art water sensing and automated solutions for the spa, plunge pool, and cold plunge industries. These are both examples of how Helios is driving leading innovation for the markets we serve and diversifying into new ones. We are uniquely positioned at the intersection of hydraulics and electronics providing our customers with innovative, sticky solutions that add value in every application. We are encouraged with the feedback and reception from customers around our strategic direction and believe it will continue to create significant growth opportunities for us over time,” Matosevic concluded.

* Adjusted numbers are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Sales
- Changes in Market Mix: Electronics segment revenue improved 6% with Health & Wellness as a leading driver compared with the year ago period helping to offset the 4% decline in Hydraulics which was spread across several end markets we serve. Compared with fourth quarter 2023, Hydraulics segment revenue grew 7% while the Electronics segment grew 17%. Sales included $3.9 million in revenue from acquisitions. (See the Organic and Acquired Revenue table in this release that provides acquired revenue by segment by quarter).
- By Region: sales in the Americas and Asia Pacific ("APAC”) were up by 1% and 5%, respectively while there was a 7% decline in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) compared to the year ago period. Compared with the fourth quarter 2023 all regions grew: EMEA 18%, APAC 14% and Americas 4%.
- Other Impacts: unfavorable foreign currency (FX) translation was $0.3 million in the first quarter 2024.
Profits and margins
- Gross profit and margin impacts: gross profit declined $3.8 million compared with the year ago period primarily on lower volume, higher material and labor costs, and unfavorable FX. Gross margin contracted 160 basis points impacted by lower fixed cost leverage on lower volume, revenue mix, and the cost impacts above. Compared with the fourth quarter 2023, gross profit increased $11.9 million, or 22%, and gross margin expanded 310 basis points.
- Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: SEA increased $0.9 million, or 2% compared with the year ago period due to higher wages and from 2023 acquisitions.
- Amortization of intangible assets: $7.9 million down 2% compared with the year ago period as a few intangibles have fully amortized since the comparable period.
Non-operating items
- Net interest expense: up $2.0 million compared with the prior year period reflecting higher interest rates and increased average net debt balance related to the debt financing of 1H23 acquisitions. Compared with fourth quarter 2023 down $0.4 million due to net debt reduction of 2%.
- Effective tax rate: 23.2% compared with 22.8% in the year ago period reflecting the mix in income to various tax jurisdictions.
Net income, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), Non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA margin
- GAAP net income and diluted EPS: down $4.7 million and $0.14, respectively compared with the year ago period. Compared with fourth quarter 2023, up $5.9 million and $0.18, respectively.
- Diluted Non-GAAP EPS: down $0.19 compared with the year ago period primarily the result of lower volume, compressed margins on lost absorption, sales mix, and increased interest expense (of $0.04 per share). Compared with fourth quarter of 2023, up $0.15 or approximately a 40% increase.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin: contracted 210 basis points compared with the year ago period driven by the items discussed previously. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, up by 150 basis points.

First Quarter 2024 Hydraulics Segment Review
- Sales: grew 2% in APAC which partially offset weakness in EMEA and Americas, resulting in a 4% year over year contraction in segment sales. Acquisitions contributed $1.9 million in the first quarter. Sales declined in the mobile, industrial and agriculture end markets partially offset by increases in other various niche end markets compared with the year ago period. FX had an unfavorable $0.2 million impact on sales. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, sales improved 7% driven by increasing order demand in APAC and EMEA.
- Gross profit and margin drivers: lower gross profit and margin, compared with the year ago period were primarily the result of fixed cost absorption on lower volume and higher labor costs. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, gross profit grew 8% and gross margin expanded 50 basis points reflecting the growing volume.
- Operating income and operating margin: lower operating income and margin, compared with the year ago period reflect impact of lower volume on gross profit compared to year ago period as well as costs related to higher wages and 2023 acquisitions.

First Quarter 2024 Electronics Segment Review
- Sales: grew 5% in the Americas and 35% in APAC partially offset by weakness in EMEA, resulting in 6% segment growth compared to the year ago period. Acquisitions contributed $2.0 million in the first quarter. Sales grew driven by increases in health and wellness and off-road vehicles markets, partially offset by continued softness in the marine and industrial end markets compared with the year ago period. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, sales improved 17% driven by growth in health and wellness and industrial. FX had an unfavorable $0.1 million impact of sales.
- Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit grew 8% and margin expanded 50 basis points, compared with the year ago period, driven primarily by higher sales volume. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, gross profit grew 61% and gross margin expanded 900 basis points driven primarily by higher sales volume.
- Operating income and operating margin: operating income declined 5% and operating margin contracted 130 basis points, compared with the year ago period, driven primarily from higher wages and 2023 acquisitions. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, operating income grew $6.1 million or 610% and margin expanded 850 basis points driven primarily by leverage from higher sales volume.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
- Total debt: at quarter-end was $521.3 million down from $524.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2023 while net debt declined $8.4 million. Decreasing debt remains a capital allocation priority in 2024.

- Inventory: decreased by $1.2 million to $213.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was the result of more disciplined financial management.

- Net cash provided by operations: was $17.8 million in the first quarter 2024 compared with $12.3 million in the year ago period, up 45%.
- Capital expenditures: were $5.5 million in the first quarter 2024, or 2.6% of sales. This compares with $9.1 million, or 4.3% of sales in the year ago period.
- Dividends: Paid 109th sequential quarterly cash dividend on April 19, 2024, over 27 consecutive years.
Affirming Full Year 2024 Outlook:
Sean Bagan, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Last quarter we outlined our financial priorities for 2024 were to (i) Execute on our profitable sales growth plan by realizing operating leverage inherent in our business, while fully instilling investment and cost discipline; (ii) Shorten our cash conversion cycle through sustainable working capital improvement initiatives; and (iii) Reduce debt utilizing the free cash flow conversion proceeds. We are off to a good start in delivering across these metrics out of the gate this year. The progress we made in the first quarter reinforces our confidence in achieving our full year 2024 outlook.”
The following provides the Company’s expectations for 2024 as May 8, 2024. This assumes constant currency, using quarter end rates, and that markets served are not further impacted by the macroeconomic or the geopolitical environment.

Helios has presented non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency. Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these Non-GAAP measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income recognized in a given period. You should not consider the inclusion of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please carefully review the Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
This news release also presents forward-looking statements regarding Non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income per diluted share. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s 2024 financial results. These Non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

| (A) Acquisition and financing-related expenses include costs associated with our M&A activities. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, the charges include $0.5 of other M&A costs. |
(B) Restructuring activities include costs associated with the creation of our two new Regional Operational Centers of Excellence. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company’s operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, the charges include non-recurring labor costs of $0.9 million and manufacturing relocation and other costs of $0.5 million. |
(C) Acquisition integration activities include costs associated with integrating our recently acquired businesses, which can occur up to 18 months after acquisition date. We believe these costs are not representative of the Company's operational performance and it is therefore more meaningful to analyze results with the costs excluded. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, the costs totaled $0.3 million. |
(D) Amortization of intangible assets presented here includes $0.2 million for capitalized software development costs included within cost of sales in the income statement for the three months ended March 30, 2024. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Forward-looking Financial Measures:
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share disclosed above in our 2024 Outlook, to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the Non-GAAP financial measures in future periods.
