RBC Bearings Incorporated Announces Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Results

by Business Wire
Follow

RBC Bearings Incorporated (NASDAQ:ROLL), a leading international manufacturer of highly engineered precision bearings and components for the industrial, defense and aerospace industries, today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Nine Month Financial Highlights

"I am pleased to report during the period we demonstrated very good performance at all levels of the operating statements," said Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This resulted from outstanding expense control and execution coupled with an expansion of demand for industrial products. Customer requirements for aircraft products were stable and at the levels we expected. Clearly we see this quarter as a turning point and foreshadows a positive outlook for our fiscal 2022 as the economy recovers from the pandemic."

Third Quarter Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were $145.9 million, a decrease of 17.6% from $177.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Net sales for the aerospace markets decreased 29.7% while industrial market net sales increased 5.5%. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $55.6 million compared to $70.7 million for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $56.4 million compared to an adjusted $70.9 million for the same quarter last year.

SG&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $25.7 million, a decrease of $5.0 million from $30.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel-related costs of $4.4 million and $0.6 million of other items. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 17.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 17.4% for the same period last year.

Other operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled $3.3 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, other operating expenses consisted primarily of $2.6 million of amortization of intangible assets, $0.5 million of restructuring costs and related items and $0.2 million of other items. For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, other operating expenses were comprised mainly of $2.5 million in amortization of intangible assets.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $26.5 million compared to $37.5 million for the same period last year. Excluding other restructuring charges and related items of $1.3 million, adjusted operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $27.9 million compared to adjusted operating income of $37.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales was 19.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 21.4% for the same period last year.

Interest expense, net, was $0.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.5 million for the same period last year.

Income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $4.7 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was 17.9% compared to 17.0% for the same period last year. The current quarter income tax expense included $1.0 million of tax benefits from share-based stock compensation. Income tax expense for the same period last year was impacted by $0.9 million of benefit from share-based stock compensation and $0.6 million of discrete tax benefit due to a decrease in the reserves for unrecognized tax positions pertaining primarily to the statute of limitations expiration.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $21.6 million compared to $30.5 million for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $22.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $30.4 million for the same period last year.

Diluted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.86 per share compared to $1.22 per share for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, diluted EPS was $0.90 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $1.22 per share for the same period last year.

Backlog as of December 26, 2020 was $393.9 million compared to $477.7 million as of December 28, 2019.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company continued its efforts to consolidate certain manufacturing facilities to increase efficiencies of our operations. This resulted in $1.7 million of restructuring charges incurred during the third quarter, including $0.8 million of inventory rationalization costs included within cost of sales, $0.4 million of fixed asset disposals included within other operating costs, a $0.1 million lease impairment charge, and $0.4 million of other items. The Company anticipates additional costs associated with these consolidation efforts of $0.5 million to $1.0 million to be incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2021 with a strong cash balance and liquidity position. Cash as of December 26, 2020 was $126.2 million and the Company had approximately $75.5 million of marketable securities and $260.9 million of undrawn revolving credit on its two bank facilities. The Company ended the third quarter with total debt of $20.5 million and was in full compliance with all covenants under its credit agreements.
