Watts Water Technologies, Inc., (NYSE: WTS) – through its subsidiaries, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and providers of plumbing, heating and water quality products and solutions – today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.

Chief Executive Officer Robert J. Pagano Jr. commented, “We closed out 2023 with record results for the quarter and full year, including record sales, operating margin and adjusted earnings per share. I would like to express my gratitude to the entire Watts team for their dedication and support throughout the year as we delivered on our commitments to serve our customers, executed on new product development, including products to support our Smart and Connected strategy, and funded long-term investments.”

Mr. Pagano continued, “We are also pleased to have completed the acquisitions of Bradley Corporation in the fourth quarter and Josam Company effective January 1, 2024. These strategic and complementary acquisitions expand our addressable market and enable value creation through greater scale and growth opportunities. The integration of both companies is underway and is progressing well. Our balance sheet remains strong, and our robust cash flow continues to support investment into the business, return of capital to shareholders and the execution of our long-term strategy.”

“As we enter 2024, we are monitoring weakening global economic indicators. We are currently expecting softer market conditions as the year progresses, and we have incorporated these expectations into our outlook. We are taking actions as needed to adjust our cost structure and are confident that our experienced team is well-equipped to navigate the dynamic operating environment,” concluded Mr. Pagano.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Fourth quarter 2023 performance relative to fourth quarter 2022

  • Sales of $548 million increased 9% on a reported basis and were down 1% organically, primarily due to a tough prior-year organic comparison with 11% organic growth in the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2023 included low-single digit organic growth in the Americas and in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (“APMEA”) that was offset by mid-single digit organic decline in Europe. Sales from acquisitions totaled approximately $42 million with $33 million reported within the Americas and $9 million reported within APMEA. Favorable foreign exchange movements added approximately $6 million in sales.
  • Operating margin increased 100 basis points on a reported basis and 150 basis points on an adjusted basis, driven by favorable price, product mix and productivity, which more than offset inflation, lower volume, incremental investments and the dilutive impact of the Enware and Bradley acquisitions. Reported operating margin was unfavorably impacted by acquisition-related charges and was partially offset by lower restructuring charges.

Regional Performance

Americas

  • Sales of $387 million increased 10% on a reported basis and 1% on an organic basis, against a tough prior-year comparison of 11% organic growth in the fourth quarter of 2022. Solid growth in core valve products was mostly offset by declines in gas connectors and marine instrumentation. The acquisition of Bradley contributed approximately $33 million in sales, or 9% to reported growth.
  • Operating margin increased 120 basis points on a reported basis and 150 basis points on an adjusted basis as benefits from price realization, favorable product mix and productivity more than offset inflation, lower volume, incremental investments and the dilutive impact of the Bradley acquisition. Reported operating margin was unfavorably impacted by acquisition-related charges.

Europe

  • Sales of $128 million were flat on a reported basis, which included favorable foreign exchange movements of 5%. Organic sales decreased 5%, as price realization was more than offset by lower volumes in both fluid solutions and drains products.
  • Operating margin increased 300 basis points on a reported basis and 220 basis points on an adjusted basis. Reported and adjusted operating margins both benefited from favorable price-cost dynamic and product mix which more than offset lower volume and incremental investments. Reported operating margin benefited from lower restructuring charges.

APMEA

  • Sales of $33 million increased 40% on a reported basis, which included acquired sales of 37%, or $9 million, slightly offset by unfavorable foreign exchange movements of 1%. Organic sales increased 4%, driven by strong growth in Australia and New Zealand, partially offset by flat sales in China and the Middle East.
  • Operating margin decreased 160 basis points on a reported basis and 180 basis points on an adjusted basis. Reported and adjusted margins both benefited from price and productivity, which was more than offset by inflation, incremental investments, affiliate charges and dilution from the Enware acquisition. Reported operating margin benefited from lower restructuring charges.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

  • For 2023, operating cash flow was $311 million and net capital expenditures were $30 million, resulting in free cash flow of $281 million. In 2022, operating cash flow was $224 million and net capital expenditures were $23 million, resulting in free cash flow of $201 million. Operating and free cash flow increased year-over-year due to higher net income and reduced working capital investment.
  • The Company repatriated approximately $64 million in cash during the fourth quarter of 2023 and approximately $118 million for full year 2023. The proceeds were used to pay down revolving debt and to fund acquisitions. The Company deployed approximately $301 million of capital for the acquisition of Bradley Corporation during the fourth quarter. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and borrowing on the Company’s revolving line of credit.
  • The Company repurchased approximately 23,000 shares of Class A common stock at a cost of $4.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. For full year 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 92,000 shares at a cost of approximately $16 million. Approximately $12 million remains available under the stock repurchase program authorized in 2019, which does not have an expiration date. An additional $150 million remains available under the stock repurchase program authorized in July 2023, which also has no expiration date.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, we refer to non-GAAP financial measures (including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, organic sales, free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income and net debt to capitalization ratio) and provide a reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding financial measures contained in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these financial measures enhance the overall understanding of our historical financial performance and give insight into our future prospects. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share eliminate certain expenses incurred and benefits recognized in the periods presented that relate primarily to our global restructuring programs, acquisition-related costs, contingent consideration adjustment, gain on sale of asset, the related income tax impacts on these items, and other tax adjustments. Management then utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess the run rate of the Company’s operations against those of comparable periods. Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures from period-over-period comparisons. Management believes reporting organic sales growth provides useful information to investors, potential investors and others, and allows for a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income, and the net debt to capitalization ratio, which are adjusted to exclude certain cash inflows and outlays, and include only certain balance sheet accounts from the comparable GAAP measures, are an indication of our performance in cash flow generation and also provide an indication of the Company's relative balance sheet leverage to other industrial manufacturing companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our cash flow generation and our capitalization structure. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to measure and pay certain compensation-based incentives. For these reasons, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures can be useful to investors, potential investors and others. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
