Chart Industries Reports 2021 Third Quarter Results

ATLANTA, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 as well as an update to our 2022 outlook. Further details can be found in the supplemental presentation included with this release. Highlights include:

• Orders of $350.2 million resulted in our fourth consecutive quarter of record backlog ($1,102.2 million), bringing year-to-date orders to $1,215.3 million (+53.3% over year-to-date September 30, 2020)
• Sales of $328.3 million were an increase of 20.2% (organic increase of 13.4%; 25.2% excluding Big LNG) compared to the third quarter 2020 and sequentially an increase of 2.0% compared to the second quarter 2021
• Closed on a $1 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (refinance of existing loan and revolver) which lowers cost of borrowing, staggers our overall debt maturities and increases capacity while furthering our ESG leadership
• Reported non-diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.42; adjusted non-diluted EPS of $0.81 inclusive of all investment activity in the quarter; $0.55 excluding all investment activity, driven by rapidly accelerating costs not yet covered by additional pricing actions taken
• Full year 2021 sales guidance of $1.31 billion to $1.33 billion (decrease from prior guidance of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion) driven by project specific sales timing shifts into 2022 and associated full year 2021 adjusted non-diluted EPS of $2.75 to $3.10 driven by timing of project sales and price increases relative to backlog
• Increasing 2022 revenue outlook (excluding Big LNG) to $1.70 billion to $1.85 billion (from prior of $1.60 billion to $1.70 billion); releasing 2022 adjusted non-diluted EPS guidance of $5.25 to $6.50 (excluding Big LNG and inclusive of expected first half 2022 continued inflationary pressures)

Summary:
Our third quarter 2021 results were a juxtaposition of rapidly expanded near-term supply chain, labor and logistics challenges with strong continued broad-based demand, demonstrated in order and backlog growth.   Even with record sales and sequential quarterly growth in Specialty Products and Cryo Tank Solutions, third quarter 2021 sales were less than anticipated entirely due to timing (see the supplemental presentation slide 12 for specifics), which we anticipate shifts to the fourth quarter 2021, while also anticipating that certain previously projected project revenue recognition originally expected in the fourth quarter 2021 is now captured in our 2022 outlook. Even considering the timing challenges on shipments, sales were 20.2% higher than the third quarter 2020 (organic increase of 13.4%) and 2.0% higher than the second quarter 2021. As a reminder, the third quarter 2020 included approximately $25.6 million of Venture Global Calcasieu Pass sales and the second quarter 2021 had approximately $5 million, while the third quarter of 2021 had no associated Big LNG revenue. Excluding sales from the Big LNG project in the respective periods, organic revenue increased 25.2% in the third quarter 2021 when compared to the third quarter 2020, and 13.6% year-to-date 2021 when compared to year-to-date 2020.

Cryo Tank Solutions sales increased 14.7% sequentially from the second quarter 2021 and 10.0% versus the same time last year, while Specialty Products increased 9.5% sequentially from the second quarter 2021 and 108.8% from the third quarter 2020. Representative of our continued business transformation, Repair, Service & Leasing and Specialty Products comprised 49.7% of our total net sales, the second quarter in a row at approximately 50% and compared to 34.1% for the full year 2020.

Our third quarter 2021 margin was negatively impacted in particular on the gross margin line as our previously implemented price increases did not keep pace with higher-than-anticipated rapidly accelerating costs, including material, supply chain, unexpected COVID-19 labor challenges resulting in operational inefficiencies, additional freight and gas increases and the negative variance from customer long-term agreement additional pricing adjustments lagging backlog timing.

Reported gross margin as a percent of sales of 22.8% included one-time costs associated with restructuring, facility startup costs, integration, and facility consolidation. When adjusted for the one-time costs, adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales was 26.5%, reflecting the cost burden we experienced within the quarter from the rapidly increasing freight, labor supply chain and material costs. Adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales is up 140 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2020, excluding Big LNG, yet it is a sequential decline from the second quarter 2021 of 160 basis points (excluding Big LNG). Adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales for Specialty Products was 37.1%, consistent with the second quarter 2021 and indicative of the profile of that business, which is either project-based pricing with near-term cost validity or product lines such as food & beverage which have faster book to ship timeframes, capturing more current costs in our in-period price adjustments. Repair, Service and Leasing (“RSL”) adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales of 28.7% excluded approximately $1.4 million of restructuring charges related to our decision to consolidate the Houston, Texas repair facility into our Beasley, Texas 260 acre manufacturing campus. RSL gross margin is less impacted by material costs, and adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales was a sequential increase of 510 basis points from the second quarter 2021, which had a low margin shipment from China backlog. Note that we have and will continue to have sequential increases in our interest income from our growing leasing business which is not reflected in the gross margin or adjusted gross margin for the segment (considered below operating income).   The most challenged gross margin and adjusted gross margin was in Heat Transfer Systems (“HTS”), given the heavy material content in the segment, lost production time from the hurricane and higher margin project-based revenue recognition timing.

We anticipate that gross margin as a percent of sales increases in the fourth quarter 2021 in each segment except Cryo Tank Solutions, for which the third quarter adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales is similar to the fourth quarter 2021 Cryo Tank Solutions margin profile in backlog and lags due to the timing of the pre-July 1, 2021 price increase backlog burn off. Specialty Products and RSL segment gross margin as a percent of sales increase is expected to be driven by the product mix in backlog, project-based timing and pricing increase timing on standard product, while the anticipated increase in HTS margins is the result of larger project, higher margin specific sales.

Prior to and during the third quarter 2021, tangible structural actions were taken to address current macro supply chain and cost challenges, some of which are expected to be permanent after global challenges dissipate/mitigate/temper.

We previously indicated that we anticipated that in the third quarter 2021 we would need to monitor whether material costs and availability were improving or getting worse and then respond quickly. Things did get worse in the quarter (as laid out below in summary; specific details on the challenges and actions taken can be found in the supplemental presentation on pages 5 through 8). And while we did respond quickly with surcharges, additional price increases and operational cost reductions, none of our in-quarter actions were immediately impactful to margins within the quarter itself. We have seen specific improvements in some of the challenges we faced last quarter and are currently projecting certain further tempering of specific headwinds in the coming quarter with more normalization of the macro difficulties later in 2022. We continue to have confidence in our double-digit forecasted organic growth and associated margin increases across the coming years.

“While near-term cost pressures challenged our margins in the third quarter, the structural pricing and cost reduction steps taken, combined with our year-to-date trend of broad-based demand, fourth consecutive record backlog quarter and our expectation of traditional markets returning, set the stage for anticipated meaningful profitable growth in 2022 and beyond,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO & President. “We believe the variety of steps taken to ensure the structural stickiness of our price changes and cost out actions will further benefit our financial profile as the macro challenges temper.”

• Challenge: Material costs rapidly increased in the third quarter 2021.
  • Response: Effective July 1, 2021, we implemented a broad price increase for most of our products including regular adjustment mechanisms on our long-term agreements. The orders with these increases have begun to be shipped. Additionally, we added a surcharge to all new orders starting September 1, 2021 and have issued another price increase in October 2021. Our project-based work allows for current material pricing in bid validity, so all of those have also been updated.
• Challenge: Force Majeure issued to industrial customers (including us) from our industrial gas supplier on nitrogen and argon allocations due to COVID-19 oxygen needs (issued August 11, 2021, lifted October 7, 2021).
  • Response: Hired certified driver and used our own cryogenic truck to deliver gas to keep our Southeastern United States production running (minimal production disruption, but additional cost and inefficiency). The Force Majeure was lifted and we do not anticipate this issue going forward.
• Challenge: Increases from the end of the second quarter 2021 to the end of the third quarter 2021 on container cost (+34% in the quarter) and road freight costs, coupled with the lack of availability of drivers, trucks, packaging and port congestion. This combined with unanticipated unusual weather events.
  • Response: We eliminated any free freight programs on volume shipments. Ongoing utilization of more localized supplier base and add safety stock where available. Hurricane Ida briefly disrupted production at two of our U.S. locations in the third quarter 2021 but is not expected to have any go-forward negative impacts.
• Challenge: Availability and cost of labor, including COVID-19 labor impacts.
  • Response: We have been successful at utilizing a variety of strategies for access to skilled labor and while this has come at a higher than originally anticipated cost, we have been able to retain over 98% of our third quarter 372 hires. From August 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, our United States shops had an average of 3.7% of our direct labor workforce out on COVID-19 quarantine. We believe we are now past the COVID-19 resurgence absences, as month-to-date in October this metric averages to below 0.5% of our direct labor workforce.

The above contributed to our third quarter 2021 reported earnings per share of $0.42, adjusted non-diluted EPS of $0.81 inclusive of all investment activity in the quarter and adjusted non-diluted EPS of $0.55 when excluding all of our investment activity. The adjustments to EPS are very specifically related to our restructuring actions, both from severance as well as facility consolidations and product line movements, startup facilities, acquisition, integration and deal-related costs plus any other specific one-time costs in the quarter. Our acquisitions completed in the last twelve months are on-track with their integration activity, and we expect significantly less deal-related and integration related costs in 2022. Additionally, our startup costs of greenfield facilities, additional flexible manufacturing lines and consolidation costs are expected to temper in the first half 2022 as each project is progressing to its original completion timeline.

Even without any large liquefaction orders in the third quarter 2021, orders were $350.2 million driving record backlog of $1,102.2 million, demonstrating continued broad-based demand across the segments and supporting our increased 2022 outlook.

Third quarter orders of $350.2 million (without any large liquefaction orders, as anticipated) contributed to our fourth consecutive record backlog quarter ($1,102.2 million), a record with or without Big LNG. Third quarter 2021 orders increased 33.3% from the third quarter of 2020, and year-to-date 2021 orders of $1,215.3 million are 53.3% higher than the same period 2020. This reflects the broad-based demand we continue to see quarter-over-quarter across our end markets. We booked 60 orders in the third quarter 2021 that were greater than $1 million each and 152 of those this year (and the second quarter in a row with 60 orders in the quarter greater than $1 million), 20 First of a Kind (“FOAK”) orders and 65 new customers.  Year-to-date 2021 we have booked orders for 449 trailers, including 43 hydrogen trailers. The 449 trailers year-to-date is 34% higher than the full-year 2020 trailer units booked and 26% higher than the full-year 2019 metric. Also year-to-date through the third quarter 2021, the order rate for all of our specialty products categories (including hydrogen, water, food & beverage, HLNG over the road, and all “other”) has exceeded their respective categories’ full-year 2020 orders. Sequentially when compared to the second quarter 2021, orders declined 21.8% from a record high second quarter $447.9 million. The decline was anticipated and was primarily driven by the second quarter’s large helium liquefaction order.

The continued consistent strength in our hydrogen order book is evidenced by our nearly $200 million in year-to-date 2021 hydrogen and helium related orders. Notably, third quarter 2021 hydrogen orders of $43.6 million represented a quarterly record in terms of hydrogen equipment-only orders (without any liquefaction plant orders). Other milestones achieved during the quarter include the introduction of our liquid hydrogen (“LH2”) onboard vehicle tank for heavy-duty trucking (commercially available now) and the sale of our first full liquid fueling station. In the past 12 months, we have also booked over 60 hydrogen trailers, shipping seven in the month of September alone. Additionally, we are now gaining traction in other regions where certifications provide further differentiation, including a third quarter 2021 booking of a $9.7 million liquid hydrogen storage tank order in China.

Currently, we are quoting on approximately $1 billion of potential hydrogen process and equipment work to over 325 customers and potential customers, with over $500 million of that pipeline expected to have decision points between now and the end of the third quarter 2022. This pipeline includes trailer quotations for over 115 units for customers in Europe, North America, Korea and Australia, approximately 30 fueling stations and dozens of liquefaction opportunities, including six we anticipate will be awarded in the next six months.   Already in October 2021, we have booked a $1.8 million hydrogen storage tank order for a major gas customer, a $0.8 million order for hydrogen vacuum insulated pipe in Korea, two gaseous hydrogen trailers in Europe and we were awarded engineering work with Saulsbury for a 30 ton per day liquefaction facility in Texas for a major U.S. based utility provider. If the 30 ton per day liquefier project proceeds to full construction, the order is expected to be approximately $55 to $65 million of our content, pending final scope.

The combination of industrial gas customers refocusing efforts outside of oxygen, oil & gas recovery, LNG commercialization toward Final Investment Decisions (“FID”) plus significant tailwinds behind the energy transition is anticipated to result in record years from 2022 through 2025.

A major driver of our continued demand is related to all of our products and solutions for the nexus of clean power, water, food and industrials, driven by ESG and sustainability. This customer behavior trending to cleaner options is reflected in Specialty Products segment orders up 152% year-to-date 2021 compared to year-to-date 2020 (and +107% third quarter 2021 compared to third quarter 2020).  

In conjunction with this, while we saw some pull-ahead ordering from the industrial gas customers in advance of our July 1, 2021 price increase, we have not seen an associated slowdown in demand. We expect the industrial gas customer base to continue to show growth both in the fourth quarter 2021 as well as in full year 2022, in particular as the COVID-19 resurgence in the third quarter 2021 caused industrial gas suppliers to have to allocate, in some cases, nearly all of their attention to oxygen deliveries. This delayed industrial customer installations, which are expected to pick back up in the fourth quarter 2021 and in 2022.

We are increasingly bullish (and we have been “very bullish” previously) on three Big LNG U.S. Gulf Coast export terminal projects to proceed to FID in 2022. This further increase in our confidence is the result of the meaningful activity on these projects that occurred in the third quarter 2021 as well as global LNG announcements over the past days and weeks. The meaningful activity and supply commitments coincides with a very tight global market that has reinforced the value of long-term commitments and supply diversity.

• We (conservatively) anticipate Venture Global Plaquemines Phase 1 (10 million tonnes per annum (“MTPA”)), which we anticipate will include over $135 million of Chart content (none of which is in our backlog), to proceed to FID in the first half of 2022. In the third quarter 2021, Venture Global LNG and PGNiG (Polish Oil and Gas Company) finalized an agreement under which PGNiG will purchase an additional 2 MTPA from Venture Global for 20 years.
• Tellurian Driftwood Project Phase 1 (11 MTPA), which we anticipate will include over $350 million of Chart content (none of which is in our backlog) signed sale and purchase agreements (“SPA”) with Shell in the third quarter 2021, resulting in the completion of LNG sales for their first two plants and intent to proceed to construction in early 2022.
• Cheniere, whose Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project which we anticipate will include over $375 million of Chart content (none of which is in our backlog), announced last week that ENN LNG has agreed to purchase approximately 0.9 million tonnes per annum of LNG from them, which, as Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, "…further advances Cheniere’s commercial momentum and marks another milestone in our efforts to contract our LNG capacity on a long-term basis in anticipation of an FID of Corpus Christi Stage 3, which we expect will occur next year.”

Not only are we bullish on the Big LNG cycle, we continue to see increased activity in small-scale LNG (“ssLNG”) projects that provide localized supply, distribution, and network resiliency across the global natural gas network.  We have commitments from two customers on ssLNG liquefaction projects in Letter of Intent (“LOI”) form, but neither have been booked yet as orders as we await imminent notice to proceed on one Northeast project and advance towards FID on the second.  These two projects alone represent over $55 million of orders for potential Chart content. 

Third quarter 2021 LNG over the road vehicle tank orders continued very strong at $33.2 million, bringing year-to-date 2021 orders to $104.9 million, higher than any full year in our history. Additionally, we have seen an increase in customer orders outside of Europe for this product, indicating a broader acceptance of over-the-road LNG vehicles for heavy-duty applications both geographically as well as a practical, cost effective and available now solution. In the third quarter 2021, we received orders from Blue Energy Motor Corporation, a new truck OEM customer in India, as well as Autosan in Poland.

Traditional oil and gas markets are also indicating signs of recovery. We saw increasing order activity late in the third quarter 2021 associated with build out in upstream gathering, primarily in the Permian basin. Air-cooled heat exchangers (“ACHX”) had the two highest months of orders in 2021 in August and September, and the third quarter 2021 was the highest order quarter of the year for ACHX. There is also a trend toward renewable diesel projects with these traditional oilfield customers, and over the past year we booked over $20 million in renewable diesel projects, with another $25 million currently being quoted.

Our strategic inorganic and organic investments are adding meaningful backlog.
Over the past twelve months, we have acquired six companies. The four companies acquired prior to the third quarter 2021 have already contributed $175 million in orders (and the total purchase prices for the four was $105 million). In the third quarter 2021, we continued to add to our full solution offering of process technology and equipment for the nexus of clean with the acquisition of L.A. Turbine, a global leader in turboexpander design, engineering and manufacturing for new and aftermarket equipment, with significant in-house engineering expertise as well as the acquisition of water treatment technology company, AdEdge. As the result of the inorganic additions over the past year, we now are well positioned with a strategic, full solution offering (process technologies and equipment) for the transition to cleaner and more sustainable applications while simultaneously benefitting from any oilfield recovery activity. Having the full solution set is beginning to contribute to and expected to continue to grow our higher margin Specialty Products businesses. Additionally, our inorganic businesses are on-track with their integration activity, and we expect less deal-related and integration related costs in 2022.

Since the beginning of the third quarter 2021, we have expanded our non-investment partnerships through four new commercial MOUs and agreements, including with Hyzon Motors for heavy-duty liquid hydrogen truck development, FLSmidth and Ionada for carbon capture, as well as a global customer for heat transfer products and lifecycle services.

Continuing our ESG Journey While Strengthening Balance Sheet.
As of September 30, 2021, our net leverage ratio was 2.99. On October 18, 2021, we closed on our refinancing, which improves terms, adds capacity, spreads maturity of our debt instruments and reduces costs. This $1 billion sustainability-linked revolver increases our borrowing capacity on the revolver from $83 million to $430 million, eliminates 50 basis point floor on U.S. dollar borrowings saving approximately $2.3 million annually at current borrowing levels and removes the cash hoarding provision from COVID-related restrictions. Perhaps most meaningful is that we met the criteria for a sustainability-linked offering, with associated further cost savings, tied directly to our Green House Gas (“GHG”) intensity reduction target. The offering was committed at 150% of our targeted $1 billion by 100% of our existing bank group.

Updated 2021 guidance.
Full year 2021 sales are expected to be in the range of $1.31 billion to $1.33 billion, a decrease from prior guidance of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion, driven entirely by project shipment and revenue recognition timing shifting to 2022, none of which is lost revenue. Associated non-diluted adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of approximately $2.75 to $3.10 on approximately 35.5 million weighted average shares outstanding and assumes a 19.5% effective tax rate (an increase from our prior estimate of 18%). We expect the third quarter 2021 was the bottom in terms of the negative margin impact from the above discussed items, and subsequent quarters (including the fourth quarter 2021) are sequentially improved, in particular as the result of the specific projects with margin visibility that will have material revenue recognized in the fourth quarter 2021, the pricing and surcharges beginning to show in margins and generally higher volumes to assist in labor absorption. We considered the macro challenges presented earlier in the release including less visibility and certainty with some of these factors as well as the above information related to adjusted non-diluted EPS in evaluating the range for fourth quarter results. Our expected capital expenditure outlook is narrowed to the lower end of our prior guidance and expected to be in the $40 million to $45 million range for 2021.

2022 Updated Outlook.
Resulting in part from our further consecutive quarter of record backlog as of September 30, 2021, visibility to anticipated continued broad-based demand, the addition of AdEdge to our portfolio and the timing shifts from our 2021 guidance into 2022, we are increasing our expected 2022 full year sales outlook to the range of $1.70 billion to $1.85 billion. This revised guidance does not include any additional or new Big LNG projects, although we bullishly expect three of the U.S. Gulf Coast Big LNG projects that already have FERC approval to move to FID in 2022. Details on our 2022 sales outlook can be found in the supplemental presentation on slide 14, and with our backlog visibility, we expect more linear typical sales by quarter in the year (compared to a distinct second half sequential increase). Associated non-diluted adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $5.25 to $6.50 on approximately 35.5 million weighted shares outstanding and assuming a 19% effective tax rate. We anticipate the first half of 2022 will include a continued margin drag from the macro challenges but increasingly offset in each of the first two quarters of 2022 by the positive impact from actions we have taken to date. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be $40 million to $50 million, inclusive of specific capacity and productivity projects, in particular the expanded flex manufacturing capabilities in our Tulsa, OK (USA) facility and our duplicate hydrogen tank line in our Theodore, AL (USA) (Teddy) Trailer and Tank location.

_______________

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, gross profit margin and selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses facilitate useful period-to-period comparisons of our financial results and this information is used by us in evaluating internal performance. Our calculations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
