Kimball International, Inc. (NASDAQ: KBAL) today announced results
for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Highlights (Performance is based upon year-over-year
comparison):
First Quarter FY 2020
- Net sales growth of 3.8%, including a 1.7% organic growth
contribution, driven by continued solid performance from our
National and Kimball Hospitality brands, partially offset by a
decline in our Kimball brand on an organic basis
- Order decline of 3.6% on a difficult comparison of 17.8% growth
in the prior year
- Operating income margin of 7.5%, or 9.8% on an adjusted basis,
an increase of 200 basis points, driven by gross margin improvement
of 100 basis points and a 160 basis point reduction in selling and
administrative expenses
- Transformation savings of $5.6M realized during the
quarter
- Net income of $11.4 million, an increase of 5%
- Record adjusted EBITDA of $23.8 million, an increase of 23.9%,
and adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.8%, an increase of 190 basis
points
- Diluted EPS of $0.31 or $0.40 on an adjusted basis, an increase
of 29.0% on an adjusted basis compared to $0.31 a year ago
Kimball International CEO Kristie Juster commented, “I am
extremely pleased with the improvement in earnings this
quarter. Our first quarter performance gives us confidence
that we are gaining traction in both our sustaining gross margin
improvement and our ability to transform to a more efficient
model. We do expect our revenues to ramp in the back half of
the year as our investments start to take hold against specific
growth initiatives.”
Ms. Juster continued, “Our revenue performance was mixed in the
first quarter with industry leading metrics in healthcare and
hospitality offset by the Kimball brand realignment strategy as
well as comping double digit year over year performance. As
we start our transformation journey, we are focused on gating our
growth investments as we gain confidence in our cost savings
projects. We are confident that fiscal year 2020 will
position us well to deliver our long-term plan.”

* The items indicated represent Non-GAAP measurements. See
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
• Consolidated net sales increased 3.8%, or 1.7% on an organic
basis. Sales growth benefited from new ancillary products within
National, healthcare products within Kimball, and custom business
within Kimball Hospitality. Sales growth was partially offset by a
decline within the Kimball brand as we realign our selling
resources to higher growth areas.
• Four of the six product verticals reported sales growth led by
an 18% increase in the healthcare vertical as the Company continued
its strategy to invest in growth within this vertical. The
government vertical experienced 9% growth on strong state
government shipments. The hospitality vertical also grew 8% despite
facing a prior year increase of 43%. Commercial vertical sales
decreased 2% due to the decline in our Kimball brand.
• Sales of new office products, defined as those introduced in
the last three years, increased 19% over the prior year first
quarter. New product sales were approximately 30% of total office
sales compared to 25% in the prior year period. The National brand
is fueling the growth on a 48% growth in new products with much of
this development focused on ancillary products.
• Orders during the quarter decreased 3.6% on a difficult
comparison to 17.8% growth in the prior year. On a two-year stacked
basis, orders are up 14.2%. The hospitality vertical orders
declined 16% against a prior year comparison of 48%, which included
four large projects. The commercial vertical orders declined 13%
against strong growth of 24% in prior-year period as well as
softness within the Kimball brand. Order growth within finance,
education, government, and healthcare verticals partially offset
these declines.
• Gross profit margin of 34.9% increased 100 basis points from
the prior year. Increased product pricing and the savings
realized from our transformation plan were partially offset by
unfavorable sales mix shift. The David Edward acquisition also
negatively impacted our gross profit by 50 basis points in the
first quarter, as expected, and will continue to in the short-term
until productivity improvements and synergies are fully
realized.
• Selling and administrative expenses of $50.9 million, or 25.2%
of net sales, decreased 160 basis points or $1.3 million compared
to the prior year. Lower costs during the quarter compared to
the prior year included benefit from the transformation plan of
$1.3 million, reduced CEO transition costs of $0.9 million, reduced
employee benefit cost of $0.7 million, offset by the prior year
gain on sale of assets of $1.1 million and David Edward acquisition
related cost of $0.8 million. The reduction in selling and
administrative expenses was achieved while investing $1.0 million
in growth initiatives related to our Kimball International Connect
strategy. On an adjusted basis, selling and administrative dollars
were flat year over year. We expect the investment in growth
initiatives to increase during the remainder of the fiscal year
which will partially offset the savings we expect to achieve from
the transformation plan in future quarters.
• Restructuring expenses of $4.4 million were incurred related
to the continuing execution of the transformation plan, primarily
for lease-related impairment charges and employee transition costs.
Total estimated restructuring expenses for the transformation plan
are expected to be between $8.0 to $9.0 million.
• Our effective tax rate was 27.4% during the quarter compared
to 24.4% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily
driven by a prior year state tax provision adjustment. We continue
to expect our fiscal year tax rate to be within a range of 25% to
28%.
• Operating cash flow totaled $11.1 million compared to $7.1
million in the prior year, an increase of 55%. The increase was
primarily driven by higher net income, excluding non-cash
impairment expenses. Capital expenditures during the quarter were
$7.4 million, and we returned $2.9 million to shareholders in the
form of dividends.
• As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $106.4 million, up
$0.1 million since June 30, 2019.
• In October, subsequent to the end of our first quarter, we
replaced our $30 million credit facility with a 5-year $75 million
credit facility. The increase in size provides us additional
liquidity to execute our strategy and invest in growth, both
organically and inorganically.
Fiscal Year 2020 – 2022 Financial Targets
- Organic sales growth: 4.0% to 7.0% CAGR
- Adjusted EBITDA: 150 to 250 basis points improvement
- Adjusted EPS: 10% to 15% CAGR
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A
non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s
financial performance that excludes amounts so as to be different
than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”) in the United States in the statement of income, statement
of comprehensive income, balance sheet, or statement of cash flows
of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this
release are (1) organic net sales; (2) adjusted selling and
administrative expense; (3) adjusted EBITDA; (4) adjusted operating
income; (5) adjusted net income; and (6) adjusted diluted earnings
per share. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and
adjusted diluted earnings per share each exclude restructuring
expense and CEO transition costs from the GAAP income measure.
Adjusted selling and administrative expense excludes market value
adjustments related to the SERP liability and CEO transition costs
from the GAAP income measure. Additionally, adjusted
operating income excludes market value adjustments related to the
SERP liability. Organic net sales are defined as net sales
excluding acquisition-related sales, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined
as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation
expense, amortization expense, restructuring expense, and CEO
transition costs. A reconciliation of the reported GAAP numbers to
the non-GAAP financial measures is included in the Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below. Management believes
that organic net sales is useful to investors to aid in identifying
underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of
our sales performance with prior periods. Management believes that
Adjusted EBITDA and other metrics excluding restructuring expense,
CEO transition expenses, and market value adjustments related to
the SERP liability are useful measurements to assist investors in
comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a
consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of
items that do not reflect our core operating performance.
The orders received metric is a key performance indicator used
to evaluate general sales trends and develop future operating
plans. Orders received represent firm orders placed by our
customers during the current quarter which are expected to be
recognized as revenue during current or future quarters. The orders
received metric is not intended to be presented as an alternative
measure of revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.
Return on Invested Capital is a key performance indicator
calculated as: [(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization,
Restructuring Expense, and CEO Transition Costs) multiplied by (1
minus Effective Tax Rate)] divided by (Total Shareholders’ Equity
plus Net Debt). Net Debt is defined as current maturities of
long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments.
