November 5, 2020

ELGIN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2020-- The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a leading worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice, food processing, and residential kitchen industries, today reported net earnings for the 2020 third quarter of $60.5 million or $1.10 diluted earnings per share on net sales of $634.5 million. Adjusted net earnings were $73.9 million or $1.34 adjusted diluted earnings per share. A full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

“While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on our business, the quick and decisive actions we took earlier this year have strengthened our business and are reflected in the strong financial performance in the third quarter. We delivered record cash flows, improved profitability, and enhanced our capital structure for the long-term. While we have implemented the necessary adjustments for uncertain business conditions, we continue to invest in strategic technology and sales initiatives. Most importantly, we remain dedicated to supporting our customers, while keeping the safety and protection of our employees as our top priority,” said Tim FitzGerald, CEO of The Middleby Corporation.

2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Net sales decreased 12.4% in the third quarter of 2020 over the comparative prior year period. Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates, sales decreased 14.1% in the third quarter, reflecting the impact of COVID-19.
  • Organic net sales (a non-GAAP measure) declines were reported at the Commercial Foodservice Group due to COVID-19 impacts and challenging market conditions.

  • Operating cash inflows during the third quarter increased to $151.4 million in comparison to $128.2 million in the prior year period. Operating cash inflows for the nine months period ended September 26, 2020 increased to $316.2 million in comparison to $229.7 million in the prior year period. The total leverage ratio per our credit agreements was below 3.25x. Our trailing twelve month bank agreement pro-forma EBITDA was $563.4 million.
  • On August 21, 2020, the company issued $747.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2025 (the "Notes"). The company then entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions for a cost of $104.7 million. Additionally, a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes was used to prepay $400.0 million of term loan obligations and an amendment on our credit facility.
  • Cash balances at the end of the quarter were $220.3 million. Net debt, defined as debt less cash, at the end of the 2020 fiscal third quarter amounted to $1.6 billion as compared to $1.8 billion at the end of fiscal 2019. Additionally, our current borrowing availability is approximately $1.3 billion.

"In Commercial Foodservice, orders have consistently improved since the initial impact of COVID-19 in the second quarter. Foodservice demand has proven resilient with growing industry traffic resulting from the significant expansion of delivery, drive-through and curb-side pick-up. Restaurant operators are quickly adapting to these emerging trends that have accelerated during the pandemic, and present growth opportunities for our business. There is also a strong desire to return to indoor dining, which is benefiting our casual dining customers. We are well positioned with solutions that address the evolving foodservice environment. Interest continues to grow for our ventless products, automated cooking and beverage systems, touchless pick-up and delivery equipment, and for our “Open Kitchen” cloud-based IoT solution. With our launch of Bluezone® by Middleby, we are pleased to offer an industry-leading air-sanitization system that reduces the airborne transfer of viruses, such as COVID-19, with 99.9995% kill rate effectiveness, supporting our restaurant customers as they seek solutions to address indoor dining concerns,” commented Mr. FitzGerald.

"At our Residential Kitchen businesses, growth in order rates reflect increased time spent at home and in the kitchen. Favorable conditions in the housing market have returned and can be seen in new construction and home sales trends. The order rates also reflect demand for recently-debuted product innovations across the portfolio of our premium brands. Our investments continue with the addition of our showrooms, digital marketing initiatives and designer sales efforts.”

“At the Food Processing Group, travel restrictions have created challenges with customer demonstrations and installations. We anticipate this will have an impact on orders and shipments in the near-term. Despite this disruption, backlog levels remain healthy and there is strong interest in our recent product introductions. We remain focused on increasing our presence in fast-growing segments, such as cured meats and alternative protein. We are also positioned to support our customers growing requirements for automation solutions to address labor availability and increased employee safety concerns,” Mr. FitzGerald concluded.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with this non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The company believes that organic net sales growth, non-GAAP adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The Company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results.

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes the company is required to recognize imputed interest expense on the company’s $747.5 million of convertible senior notes due 2025 that were issued in a private placement in August 2020. The imputed interest rate is 4.7% for the convertible notes due 2025, while the actual coupon interest rate of the notes is 1.0%. The difference between the imputed interest expense and the coupon interest expense is excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance because management believes that this non-cash expense is not indicative of its core, ongoing operating performance.

The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

The Company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.
