Velan Inc. (TSX: VLN) (the “Company”), a world-leading manufacturer of industrial valves, announced today its financial results for its fiscal year and fourth quarter ended February 28, 2022.

Highlights:

  • Sales for the quarter amounted to $124.8 million, an increase of 39.3 million or 46.0% compared to last year.
  • Gross profit for the quarter of $47.7 million, an increase of $24.7 million or 106.8% from the previous year. The gross profit percentage for the quarter increased by 1,120 basis points from 27.0% to 38.2%. The gross profit increase is first and foremost driven by the significantly increased sales volume.
  • The Company declared an eligible quarterly dividend of CA$0.03 per share based on its strong cash position at the end of the quarter.
  • EBITDA2 of $16.6 million for the quarter, an increase of $14.9 million or 906.8%. The improved results were achieved despite receiving $2.3 million less Canada Emergency Wage Subsidies («CEWS»).
  • Net loss1 of $25.6 million for the quarter compared to a net income1 of $0.3 million last year. Adjusted net income2 of $7.0 million before a $32.6 million non-cash tax adjustment to derecognize a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset.
  • Net new orders (“bookings”)2 of $77.1 million for the quarter, a decrease of $3.8 million or 4.7% compared to the previous fiscal quarter.
  • Order backlog2 of $501.2 million at the end of the fiscal year, of which 64.2% of orders are deliverable within the next 12 months. Prior year order backlog totaled $562.5 million and included 60.2% of orders deliverable in the next 12 months.
  • During the fiscal year, the Company used its net cash to reduce its debt load, consisting of bank indebtedness and long-term debt, by more than half from $69.8 million to $31.6 million. The Company’s net cash amounted to $53.5 million at the end of the quarter, a decrease of $9.5 million or 15.1% compared to the previous fiscal year.

Bruno Carbonaro, CEO and President of Velan Inc., said, “The results Velan achieved this year are strong. We are entering a new phase in the company’s evolution. Our sales levels returned this year to our 2016 performance levels, which spurred a significant improvement in our gross profit of 32.8% and our EBITDA, which more than doubled to $39.6 million. Our backlog reduced but remains healthy at $501.2 million. The company also reduced its debt load by more than half. All these items illustrate that Velan has emerged stronger from the pandemic. We managed short term setbacks while consolidating our strengths, corrected structural issues and built a strong leadership team, which is prepared to take the next step. Finally, I would like to announce that Rishi Sharma will start as CFO of Velan on May 23, 2022 and take the opportunity to thank Benoit Alain, our soon to be former CFO, who has executed the transition perfectly.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 (unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in U.S. dollars and all comparisons are to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021):

  • Sales for the quarter amounted to $124.8 million, an increase of $39.3 million or 46.0%. Sales for the quarter were positively impacted by increased shipments by the Company’s North American, French and Italian operations of large orders recorded in the previous fiscal year, primarily destined for the petrochemical, nuclear and oil and gas markets respectively. The Company’s sales were also positively impacted by a revaluation of its provision for performance guarantees of $8.8 million. Additionally, the positive trend in terms of quarterly MRO sales continued this quarter due to the higher bookings1 of such orders in the first half of the current fiscal year. This positive trend has allowed the Company’s quarterly sales to build momentum as the year progressed.
  • Bookings2 for the quarter amounted to $77.1 million, a decrease of $3.8 million or 4.7%. This decrease for the quarter is primarily attributable to lower bookings2 in the Company’s European subsidiaries, primarily in the nuclear market, partially offset by a strong booking performance in the Company’s North American operations, notably in terms of MRO orders.
  • Gross profit for the quarter amounted to $47.7 million, an increase of $24.7 million or 106.8%. The gross profit percentage for the quarter of 38.2% was an increase of 1,120 basis points compared to last year’s final quarter. The improvement in gross profit for the quarter is primarily attributable to the higher sales volume, which helped to cover the Company’s fixed production overhead costs more efficiently. The Company’s improved margins are also stemming from the delivery of a product mix with a greater proportion of higher margin product sales as well as margin improvement activities implemented over the course of the past fiscal years within the scope of the V20 restructuring and transformation plan. The gross profit also benefited from a positive revaluation of the Company’s provision for performance guarantees of $8.8 million for the quarter. Finally, the increase in gross profit percentage was such that it could more than offset the impact of a lower amount of CEWS of $1.3 million for the quarter compared to last year. The subsidies are allocated between cost of sales and administration costs.
  • Administration costs for the quarter amounted to $38.8 million, an increase of $14.7 million or 60.7%. The increase in administration costs for the quarter is primarily attributable to a non-recurring $13.1 million increase in the costs related to the Company’s ongoing asbestos litigation in order to revise, based on new estimates, the assessment of the provision that would account for all outstanding litigations rather than only settled amounts. The increase is also attributable to a general increase in administration expenses, such as travel expenses, marketing and office maintenance costs that significantly decreased when the global pandemic broke out in 2020 and an increase in sales commissions for the quarter due to the higher sales volume. Finally, the increase in administration costs is also attributable to a decrease of $1.0 million for the quarter of CEWS compared to last year. The subsidies are allocated between cost of sales and administration costs.
  • Net loss1 for the quarter amounted to $25.6 million or $1.19 per share compared to a net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per share last year. The net loss1 for the quarter was significantly impacted by a $32.6 million non-cash tax adjustment to derecognize a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset. Excluding this non-cash tax adjustment, the Company’s adjusted net income2 for the quarter amounted to $7.0 million or $0.32 per share. EBITDA2 for the quarter amounted to $16.6 million or $0.77 per share compared to $1.6 million or $0.08 per share last year. The increase in EBITDA2 for the quarter is primarily due to an increase in gross profit, for the reasons mentioned previously, and a $4.6 million non-recurring net gain, after minority interests, on the disposal of the Company’s investment in Juwon Special Steel Co. Ltd. in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The improvement was also due to the absence of restructuring and transformation costs which totaled $1.3 million in the final quarter of the previous year. This improvement in EBITDA2 was partially offset by an increase in administration costs as explained previously. The movement in the Company’s adjusted net income2 for the quarter was primarily attributable to the same factors as explained above, coupled with an unfavorable movement in income taxes.

Year ended Fiscal 2022 (unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in U.S. dollars and all comparisons are to the prior fiscal year):

  • Sales for the fiscal year amounted to $411.2 million, an increase of $109.2 million or 36.1%. Sales for the year were positively impacted by increased shipments by the Company’s North American, French and Italian operations of large orders recorded in the previous fiscal year, primarily destined for the petrochemical, nuclear and oil and gas markets respectively. The Company’s sales were also positively impacted by a revaluation of its provision for performance guarantees of $13.2 million for the fiscal year.
  • Bookings2 for the fiscal year amounted to $363.5 million, a decrease of $63.1 million or 14.8%. The decrease for the fiscal year is primarily attributable to lower bookings2 in the Company’s French and Italian operations, which both recorded significant nuclear and downstream oil and gas orders in the previous year. This decrease was partially offset by a significantly higher amount of MRO orders recorded by the Company’s North American operations in the current fiscal year. The Company is encouraged by the recovery of its MRO order bookings2, which were severely impacted by the global pandemic at the end of the prior fiscal year, and ultimately adversely affected the sales of the latter part of the previous fiscal year and the first half of the current fiscal year.
  • As a result of sales outpacing bookings2 in the fiscal year, the Company’s book-to-bill ratio2 was 0.88 for the year. Furthermore, the total backlog2 decreased by $61.3 million or 10.9% since the beginning of the fiscal year, amounting to $501.2 million as at February 28, 2022. The reduction of the backlog2 is primarily due to a book-to-bill ratio2 below 1.00 combined with the weakening of the euro spot rate against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of the fiscal year. Alternatively, the Company’s backlog2 deliverable within a year is at a similar level than last year.
  • Gross profit for the fiscal year amounted to $135.0 million, an increase of $54.4 million or 67.6%. The gross profit of 32.8% represented an increase of 610 basis points compared to last year. The improvement in gross profit for the year is primarily attributable to the higher sales volume, which helped to cover the Company’s fixed production overhead costs more efficiently. The Company’s improved margins are also stemming from the delivery of a product mix with a greater proportion of higher margin product sales as well as margin improvement activities implemented over the course of the past fiscal years within the scope of the V20 restructuring and transformation plan. The gross profit also benefited from a positive revaluation of the Company’s provision for performance guarantees of $13.2 million for the fiscal year. Additionally, the Company’s gross profit for the fiscal year benefited from $6.1 million of favorable foreign exchange movements which were primarily made up of unrealized foreign exchange translations related to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the Canadian dollar when compared to similar movements from the previous year. Finally, the increase in gross profit percentage was such that it could more than offset the impact of a lower amount of CEWS of $5.9 million for the fiscal year compared to last year. The subsidies are allocated between cost of sales and administration costs.
  • Administration costs for the year amounted to $113.0 million, an increase of $32.9 million or 41.1%. The increase in administration costs for the year is primarily attributable to a non-recurring $13.1 million increase in the costs related to the Company’s ongoing asbestos litigation in order to revise, based on new estimates, the assessment of the provision that would account for all outstanding litigations rather than only settled amounts. The increase is also attributable to a general increase in administration expenses, such as travel expenses, marketing and office maintenance costs that significantly decreased when the global pandemic broke out in 2020 and an increase in sales commissions for the year due to the higher sales volume. Finally, the increase in administration costs is also attributable to a decrease of $4.7 million for the year of CEWS compared to last year. The subsidies are allocated between cost of sales and administration costs.
  • Net loss1 for the year amounted to $21.1 million or $0.98 per share compared to a net income1 of $2.9 million or $0.13 per share last year. The net loss1 for the year was significantly impacted by a $32.6 million non-cash tax adjustment to derecognize a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset. Excluding this non-cash tax adjustment, the Company’s adjusted net income2 for the year amounted to $11.5 million or $0.53 per share. EBITDA2 for the year amounted to $39.6 million or $1.83 per share compared to $15.6 million or $0.72 per share last year. The increase in EBITDA2 for the year is primarily due to an increase in gross profit, for the reasons mentioned previously, and a $4.6 million non-recurring net gain, after minority interests, on the disposal of the Company’s investment in Juwon Special Steel Co. Ltd. in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The improvement was also due to a reduction in other expenses of $2.7 million for the fiscal year primarily due to land clean-up costs of a former factory incurred in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. This increase in EBITDA2 was partially offset by an increase in administration costs as explained previously as well as the absence of restructuring and transformation income which totaled $3.9 million in the previous year. The restructuring and transformation income in the prior fiscal year resulted primarily from a $9.6 million gain recognized on the disposal of one of the Company’s Montreal plants, an integral part of the North American manufacturing footprint optimization plan which was planned in the scope of V20. The movement in the Company’s adjusted net income2 for the year was primarily attributable to the same factors as explained above, coupled with an unfavorable movement in income taxes.

Dividend

The Board declared an eligible quarterly dividend of CA$0.03 per share, payable on June 30, 2022, to all shareholders of record as at June 17, 2022.
