About 4D-310 and Fabry Disease Cardiomyopathy

4D-310 utilizes the targeted and evolved C102 vector to deliver a functional copy of the GLA gene and was designed for a unique mechanism of action, specifically to directly correct the AGA enzyme function within cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) after a single IV administration. C102 was invented at 4DMT through our proprietary Therapeutic Vector Evolution platform; we created this platform utilizing principles of directed evolution, a Nobel Prize-winning technology. The product is designed to generate both high local production of AGA directly within critically affected organs, including heart, blood vessels, and kidney, as well as the potential for sustained blood levels of AGA for systemic cross-correction. This product design has the potential to address the cardiomyopathy in these patients that is the leading cause of death, as well as other significant unmet medical needs in patients with Fabry disease.

Affecting more than 50,000 people in the United States and European Union, Fabry disease is a genetic disorder of the GLA gene that results in the body’s inability to produce an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase or AGA, causing the accumulation of the substrate globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in critical organs, including the heart, kidney, and blood vessels. Such substrate accumulation can lead to life-threatening hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, arrhythmias, various degrees of kidney dysfunction, and cerebrovascular stroke. Fabry disease progression results in increased morbidity, mortality, and cost of care. Significant unmet medical needs remain for these patients despite enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), the current standard of care. ERT requires biweekly intravenous dosing which markedly decreases patients’ quality of life. In addition, while benefit has been demonstrated in the kidney, ERT has not been shown to clearly benefit the heart. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and disability in Fabry disease patients.

About 4DMT

4DMT is a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company harnessing the power of directed evolution for targeted genetic medicines. 4DMT seeks to unlock the full potential of genetic medicines using its proprietary invention platform, Therapeutic Vector Evolution, which combines the power of the Nobel Prize-winning technology, directed evolution, with approximately one billion synthetic AAV capsid-derived sequences to invent targeted and evolved vectors for use in our product candidates. All of our vectors are proprietary to 4DMT and were invented at 4DMT, including the vectors utilized in our clinical-stage and preclinical pipeline product candidates: R100, A101, and C102. The Company is initially focused on five clinical-stage product candidates in three therapeutic areas for both rare and large market diseases: ophthalmology, pulmonology, and cardiology (Fabry disease cardiomyopathy). The 4DMT targeted and evolved vectors were invented with the goal of being delivered at relatively low doses through clinically routine, well-tolerated, and minimally invasive routes of administration, transducing diseased cells in target tissues efficiently, having reduced immunogenicity and, where relevant, having resistance to pre-existing antibodies. 4DMT is currently advancing five product candidates in clinical development: 4D-150 for wet AMD and DME, 4D-710 for cystic fibrosis lung disease, 4D-310 for Fabry disease cardiomyopathy, 4D-125 for XLRP, and 4D-110 for choroideremia. The 4D preclinical product candidates in development are: 4D-175 for geographic atrophy and 4D-725 for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

4D-150, 4D-710, 4D-310, 4D-125, and 4D-110 are our product candidates in clinical development and have not yet been approved for marketing by the US FDA or any other regulatory authority. No representation is made as to the safety or effectiveness of 4D-150, 4D-710, 4D-310, 4D-125, or 4D-110 for the therapeutic uses for which they are being studied.

On profitability, we were able to maintain restaurant-level operating margin 270bps above pre-pandemic levels despite double-digit commodity inflation and high-single-digit labor inflation. Overall, these strong results wouldn’t be possible without our team members doing what we do best every day – providing our customers with the unique Chuy’s experience through high-quality, made-from-scratch food and drinks, offered at an affordable value.”

Hislop added, “We are excited about the organic growth opportunities ahead for the brand through continued unit expansion. Through accelerated unit growth and disciplined capital allocation, we believe we’ve put Chuy’s on the path to maximize shareholder value in 2023 and beyond.”

Fourth
Quarter
2022
Financial Results

Revenue was $104.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $98.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily related to an increase in our comparable restaurant sales as well as incremental revenue from an additional 22 operating weeks provided by new restaurants opened during and subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2021. For the fourth quarter of 2022, off-premise sales were approximately 29%.

Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year primarily driven by a 6.1% increase in average check, partially offset by a 2.7% decrease in average weekly customers. Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.1% as compared to the same period in fiscal 2019.

Total restaurant operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased by approximately 430 basis points to 83.0% in the fourth quarter of 2022 from 78.7% in fiscal 2021 primarily driven by the following:

  • Cost of sales increased 170 basis points driven by increases in the cost of beef and chicken as well as fresh produce, cheese and grocery items. Overall commodity inflation was approximately 15% during the quarter. This was partially offset by a menu price increase taken during the year.
  • Labor costs increased 140 basis points largely as a result of hourly labor rate inflation of approximately 9% at comparable restaurants as well as an incremental improvement in our hourly labor staffing levels as compared to last year.
  • Operating costs increased 120 basis points primarily driven by higher delivery service charges and to-go supplies driven in part by an increase in our off-premise business to 29% from 28% of our total sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 as well as continued inflationary pressures on other operating expenses, including utility costs, repair and maintenance, insurance premiums and credit card fees.
  • Occupancy costs decreased 30 basis points primarily as a result of sales leverage on fixed occupancy expenses.
  • Marketing expense increased 40 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 as the Company reinstated its digital advertising campaigns across the nation.

Restaurant pre-opening expenses increased to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2021 due to the timing of new store openings.

General and administrative expenses increased to $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $6.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher management salaries, an increase in public company and travel costs. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses remained at approximately 6.2%.

Impairment, closed restaurant and other costs were $3.2 million ($2.5 million, net of tax or $0.14 per diluted share) during the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.5 million ($1.9 million, net of tax or $0.10 per diluted share) during the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to a non-cash loss on long-lived assets of an underperforming restaurant, partially offset by a reduction in rent paid on previously closed restaurants. Closed restaurant costs include rent expense, utilities, insurance and other costs required to maintain the remaining closed locations.

The effective income tax rate was 9.3% compared to 17.5% in the same period last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was mainly attributed to an increase in the proportion of employee tax credits to estimated annual income.

As a result of the foregoing, net income was $2.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $6.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net income was $5.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $7.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Please see the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income in the accompanying financial tables.

Development Update

During the fourth quarter, the Company opened two new restaurants: one in White Bridge, TN and another one in Longview, TX to bring our total development to three restaurants during the year. We also closed one restaurant in Houston, TX at the end of its lease term at the end of fourth quarter of 2022, which brings our total number of restaurants to 98 as of December 25, 2022.

Board of Directors Update

The Board of Directors reduced the size of the Board to six members.

Share Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 327,354 shares of its common stock for a total of $7.8 million to complete the existing $50.0 million repurchase program. During fiscal year 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 1,661,742 shares of its common stock for $41.7 million. On October 27, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common shares outstanding through December 31, 2024. As of December 25, 2022, the Company had $50.0 million remaining under the new share repurchase program. Repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

2023 Outlook

The Company currently expects 2023 adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.60 to $1.65 as compared to $1.37 per diluted share in fiscal 2022. The net income guidance for fiscal 2023 includes an estimated $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share positive impact due to the fourth quarter of 2023 containing 14 weeks versus 13 weeks in fiscal 2022 and is further based, in part, on the following annual assumptions:

  • General and administrative expense of $28.0 to $29.0 million;
  • Six to seven new restaurants;
  • Net capital expenditures (net of tenant improvement allowances) of approximately $35 to $39 million;
  • Restaurant pre-opening expenses of approximately $2.5 to $3.0 million;
  • An effective annual tax rate (excluding unusual items) of approximately of 13%;
  • Annual weighted diluted shares outstanding of 18.1 million to 18.2 million.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of 2023 adjusted net income per diluted share or the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net (loss) income per diluted share because the timing and nature of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:

Comparable restaurant sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable group of restaurants over a specified period of time as compared to that time in the prior year. We consider a restaurant to be comparable in the first full quarter following the 18th month of operations. Changes in comparable sales reflect changes in customer count trends as well as changes in average check. Our comparable restaurant base consisted of 93 restaurants at December 25, 2022.

Comparable restaurant sales as compared to 2019 reflect changes in sales for the comparable group of restaurants over a specified period of time as compared to that time in fiscal year 2019. The comparable group of restaurants include the restaurants that were in the comparable base as of the end of fiscal year 2019. Our comparable restaurant base consisted of 81 restaurants at December 25, 2022.

Average check is calculated by dividing revenue by total entrées sold for a given time period. Average check reflects menu price increases as well as changes in menu mix.

Average weekly customers is measured by the number of entrées sold per week. Our management team uses this metric to measure changes in customer traffic.

Average unit volume (“AUV”) consists of the average sales of our comparable restaurants over a certain period of time. This measure is calculated by dividing total comparable restaurant sales within a period of time by the total number of comparable restaurants within the relevant period. This indicator assists management in measuring changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of our brand.

Operating margin represents income from operations as a percentage of our revenue. By monitoring and controlling our operating margins, we can gauge the overall profitability of our Company.

Total restaurant operating costs includes cost of sales, labor, operating, occupancy and marketing costs.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call to discuss financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Steve Hislop, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jon Howie, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will host the call.

Actual results may vary materially from those contained in forward-looking statements based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic and any new variants, the actual number of restaurant openings, the sales at the Company’s restaurants, changes in restaurant development or operating costs, such as food and labor, the Company’s ability to leverage its existing management and infrastructure, changes in restaurant pre-opening expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, our effective tax rate, impairment, closed restaurant and other costs, changes in the number of diluted shares outstanding, strength of consumer spending, conditions beyond the Company’s control such as timing of holidays, weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, the timing and amount of repurchases of our common stock, if any, changes to the Company’s expected liquidity position, the possibility that the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued and other factors disclosed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should take such risks into account when making investment decisions. Stockholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Within our press release, we make reference to non-GAAP restaurant-level operating profit, restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted net income. Restaurant-level operating profit represents income from operations plus the sum of general and administrative expenses, restaurant pre-opening costs, impairment, closed restaurant and other costs, legal settlement and depreciation. Restaurant-level operating profit is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our restaurants without the effect of non-cash depreciation expense; and (ii) we use restaurant-level operating profit internally as a benchmark to evaluate our restaurant operating performance and to compare our performance to that of our competitors. Additionally, we present restaurant-level operating profit because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses, which are not incurred at the restaurant level, restaurant pre-opening costs, legal settlement and impairment, closed restaurant and other costs. Although we incur pre-opening costs on an ongoing basis as we continue to open new restaurants, the pre-opening costs, legal settlements and impairment, closed restaurant and other costs are not components of a restaurant’s ongoing operating expenses. The use of restaurant-level operating profit thereby enables us and our investors to compare operating performance between periods and to compare our operating performance to the performance of our competitors. The measure is also widely used within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency and performance. The use of restaurant-level operating profit as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. We present restaurant-level operating margin for the same reasons we present restaurant-level operating profit.

Adjusted net income represents net income before impairment, closed restaurant and other costs, legal settlement and the income tax effect of these adjustments. We believe the use of adjusted net income provides additional information to enable us and our investors to facilitate year-over-year performance comparison and a comparison to the performance of our peers.

Restaurant-level operating profit, restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted net income exclude various expenses as discussed above that may materially impact our consolidated results of operations. As a result, these measures are not indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations. We present these measures exclusively as supplements to, and not substitutes for, net income or income from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. As supplemental disclosures, restaurant-level operating profit, restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted net income should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from operations as an indicator of our performance or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

DEERFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading home, security and commercial building products company, today announced fourth quarter and full-year 2022 results.

“Our teams delivered impressive fourth quarter and full year results in the face of a challenging environment while executing several transformative initiatives,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “These initiatives should enable us to deliver our long-term targets and will also help us navigate the short-term challenges we expect to face in 2023. Our fourth quarter margin results demonstrate that we can protect margins even in a declining market. We head into 2023 well-prepared and will remain laser focused on delivering above-market sales results, preserving margin and generating cash. I am confident in the long-term potential of this Company and the team’s ability to deliver – regardless of the environment.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 FBIN Results from Continuing Operations

For the fourth quarter of 2022, FBIN sales were $1.1 billion, a decrease of 7 percent over the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating income was $182.2 million, compared to $195.4 million in the prior-year quarter, a decrease of 7 percent. Operating income before charges / gains was $196.1 million versus $197.2 million in 2021. Operating margin was 16.1 percent, compared to 16.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating margin before charges / gains was 17.3 percent, compared to 16.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021, an improvement of 110 basis points.

For each FBIN segment in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Water Innovations sales decreased 9 percent, primarily due to continued inventory destocking, Covid-impacts to sales in China and declining sales volumes. Excluding the impact of the extra fiscal week and FX, net sales decreased around 11 percent. Operating margin before charges / gains was 24.0 percent, driven by cost controls and price realization.
  • Outdoors & Security sales decreased 5 percent, driven by channel destocking and a return to regular seasonality across the segment. Excluding the impact of the extra fiscal week and FX, sales declined 7 percent. Operating margin before charges / gains was 14.8 percent, driven by cost controls and price realization.

Full Year 2022 FBIN Results from Continuing Operations

For the full year 2022, FBIN sales were $4.7 billion, a decrease of 2 percent from 2021, and a decrease of 2 percent when excluding the impact of the 53rd week and FX. Operating income was $774.3 million, compared to $811.2 million in the prior year, a decrease of 5 percent. Operating income before charges / gains was $809.7 million, compared to $829.2 million during the previous year, down 2 percent. Operating margin was 16.4 percent, compared to 16.9 percent in 2021. Operating margin before charges / gains was 17.1 percent, down 20 basis points over full year 2021.

“Our teams delivered solid 2022 results in a challenging environment. Our fourth quarter sales results reflect the sudden demand change we experienced following 400 basis points of Fed rate increases from May through December. This unusual pace of rate increases abruptly changed housing affordability and channel partner inventory plans, impacting our second half sales growth. Additionally, it created inefficiencies that we expect to impact first quarter 2023 margins. However, our teams have reacted decisively to alter our cost structure, production planning and our inventory in a manner that we expect will protect margins and improve cash generation in 2023,” said Fortune Brands Chief Financial Officer Patrick Hallinan. “We remain highly focused on driving outperformance, including above-market growth, margin preservation and enhancement and cash generation in 2023 and over the long term.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At the end of the year, net debt was $2.0 billion and net debt to EBITDA from continuing operations before charges / gains was 2.1x. The Company had $643 million in cash and $1,250 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

During the fourth quarter, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the dividend from the Cabinets spin-off to pay down all outstanding variable rate debt.

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased approximately $39 million in common stock and for the full year, repurchased approximately $580 million in common stock.

Annual Outlook

Based on the Company’s assumption of a total global market decline of 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent, with the U.S. housing market also declining 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent, the Company expects full-year 2023 sales to be down 5 percent to 7 percent with operating margins between 16 percent and 17 percent, implying decremental operating leverage of between 25 percent and 30 percent.

The Company expects EPS before charges / gains to be in the range of $3.60 to $3.80.

For 2023, the Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $475 million, with a cash conversion rate of around 100 percent.

Reflecting further on the future of Fortune Brands Innovations, Fink stated: “We successfully executed a spin-off of our Cabinets business, unlocking greater shareholder value for both companies by allowing us to focus on and invest in our unique growth opportunities. We rebranded our entire Company, with our new identity reflecting our evolution as a business focused on driving accelerated growth in our categories through brand and innovation. To better enable this focus and to make our business more efficient, we reorganized the Company from a decentralized structure with separate businesses to an aligned operating model that prioritizes activities that are core to brand, innovation and channel. Additionally, we placed our global supply chain resources under a unified leadership team to fully leverage the scale and execution excellence across our total business. These transformative changes will enable us to deliver on the long-term targets we set forth during our investor day and will also help us navigate the short-term challenges we expect to face in 2023.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” made within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical statements of fact and those regarding our intent, belief, or expectations, including, but not limited to: general business strategies, market potential, anticipated future financial performance, the potential of our brands, the housing market and other matters.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management. Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements, including, but not limited to: the expected benefits and costs of the Cabinets business spin-off transaction; the tax-free nature of the Cabinets business spin-off; general business and economic conditions; our reliance on the North American repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels; our reliance on key customers and suppliers; our ability to maintain our strong brands and to develop innovative products while maintaining our competitive positions; our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency; our ability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner; the impact of sustained inflation, including global commodity and energy availability and price volatility; the impact of trade-related tariffs and risks with uncertain trade environments or changes in government and industry regulatory standards; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints; the uncertainties relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and results; our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives; our ability to successfully execute our acquisition strategy and integrate businesses that we have and may acquire; and the other factors discussed in our securities filings, including in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

*Restricted cash of $2.1 million and $3.7 million is included in Other current assets and Other assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. Restricted cash of $1.3 million and $3.3 million is included in Other current assets and Other assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Note that our net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, represents the combined cash flows of both our continuing and discontinued operations.
 
** Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less proceeds from the disposition of assets including property, plant and equipment, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options). Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company’s ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

Operating margin is calculated as the operating income from continuing operations in accordance with GAAP, divided by the GAAP net sales. The before charges/gains operating margin is calculated as the operating income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains, divided by the GAAP net sales. This before charges/gains operating margin is not a measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes that this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company’s underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company’s ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions and repay debt and related interest. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

 

(f) Loss on equity investments is related to our investment in Flo.

 

(g) Total Fortune Brands Home & Security inclusive of MasterBrand Cabinets net sales refers to the combined net sales of Fortune Brands Home & Security and the discontinued MasterBrand Cabinets segment through the separation date of 12/14/2022 and and MasterBrands Cabinets for the post-separation 12/15/2022 through 12/25/2022. This measure provides an overall picture of the total revenue generated by the Company, including the contribution of the MasterBrand Cabinets segment.

 

(h) Asset impairment charges for the three and twelve months ending on December 31, 2022, represent pre-tax impairment charges of $20.4 million and $46.4 million, respectively. These charges are related to the indefinite-lived trade names in our discontinued Cabinets segment

 

Definitions of Terms: GAAP Measures

 

In the first quarter of 2022, our Plumbing segment was renamed “Water Innovations” in order to better align with our key brands and organizational purpose. The Plumbing segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported.

 

In 2018, our Water Innovations segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, Flo, a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. In January 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Flo in a multi-phase transaction. As part of this agreement, we acquired a majority of Flo’s outstanding shares during 2020 and entered into a forward contract to purchase all remaining shares of Flo during the first quarter of 2022 for a price based on a multiple of Flo’s 2021 sales and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes. On January 30, 2022, we made a final cash payment of $16.7 million to the legacy minority shareholders to acquire such shares which is reflected within Other financing, net in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

In January 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Solar Innovations, a leading producer of wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures, for a purchase price of $61.6 million, net of cash acquired of $4.8 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The results of Solar are reported as part of the Outdoors & Security segment. Its complementary product offerings support the segment’s outdoor living strategy.

 

In July 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Aqualisa, a leading U.K. manufacturer of shower products known for premium, innovative, smart digital shower systems, for a purchase price of $156.0 million, net of cash acquired of $4.8 million. The results of Aqualisa are reported as part of the Water Innovations segment. Its product offerings will enable us to continue to leverage growing trends in water management and connected products. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facilities. We have not included pro forma financial information as it is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 29, 2022, was $156.0 million.

 

On December 14, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off of its Cabinets business, MasterBrand, Inc. (“MasterBrand”) (the “Spin-off”), in a tax-free transaction to the Company and our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, creating two independent, publicly traded companies. In addition, the Company’s name changed from “Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.” to “Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc.” and its stock ticker changed from “FBHS” to “FBIN” which became effective subsequent to the completion of the Spin-off. The operating results of the Cabinets business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We have two business segments: Water Innovations (previously referred to as Plumbing) and Outdoors & Security. Our former Cabinets segment was disposed of in connection with the Spin-off.

Bio-Rad Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results

Bio-Rad Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results

HERCULES, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth-quarter 2022 net sales were $730.3 million, a decrease of 0.3 percent compared to $732.8 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2021. COVID-related revenue was approximately $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus approximately $46 million reported in the year-ago period. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales increased 5.8 percent compared to the same period in 2021. Fourth-quarter 2022 revenue increased 10.6 percent on a currency-neutral basis when excluding COVID-related sales.

Fourth-quarter 2022 gross margin was 54.4 percent compared to 54.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $359.7 million, an increase of 10.1 percent compared to the same period in 2021. On a currency-neutral basis, the segment sales increased 16.4 percent compared to the same quarter in 2021. When also excluding COVID-related sales, Life Science revenue increased 28.1 percent, and were primarily driven by Droplet Digital™ PCR, process chromatography, Western blotting, and qPCR products.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $369.6 million, a decrease of 8.7 percent compared to the same period in 2021. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales decreased 2.9 percent versus the same quarter last year. Excluding COVID-related sales, Clinical Diagnostics revenue decreased 1.9 percent from the year-ago period, on a currency-neutral basis. The decrease was primarily driven by continuing supply chain constraints, which impacted instrument placements and sales of related consumables.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $118.7 million versus $108.9 million during the same quarter last year.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $827.7 million, or $27.78 per share, on a diluted basis, versus a net loss of $1,572.2 million, or $52.54 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2021. Net income (loss) amounts for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 were predominantly impacted by the recognition of changes in the fair market value of equity securities related to the holdings of the company’s investment in Sartorius AG.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 24.2%, compared to 22.8% for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate reported in Q4 of 2022 was primarily affected by an unrealized gain in equity securities, and the tax rate reported in Q4 of 2021 was primarily affected by unrealized loss in equity securities.

“During the fourth quarter, we continued to make progress, working through the ongoing global supply chain challenges,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We also saw positive market response to new product introductions, setting the stage for 2023.”

A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release. Non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of purchased intangibles; acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring, impairment charges and gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable; gains and losses on equity-method investments; significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs; and discrete income tax events and the income tax effect on these non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS) are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Non-GAAP and Currency-Neutral Reporting.”

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $98.5 million, or $3.31 per share, on a diluted basis, compared to $98.5 million, or $3.26 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2021.

The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 28.1 compared to 20.4 percent for the same period in 2021. The higher tax rate in 2022 was driven by a geographical mix of earnings.

The following table represents a reconciliation of Bio-Rad’s reported net income (loss) and diluted income (loss) per share to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021:

Our markets are strong and have largely recovered from the pandemic, giving us a positive outlook for growth. We extend sincere thanks to our employees across the globe for their ongoing commitment to supporting our customers as we continue our transformation and growth.”

A replay of the webcast will be available for up to a year.

Use of Non-GAAP and Currency-Neutral Reporting

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, gains and losses on equity-method investments, and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: we do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to purchased intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Acquisition-related expenses and benefits: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, professional fees for assistance with the transaction; valuation or integration costs; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain or loss on settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquired entity; or adjustments to purchase price. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our ongoing business.

Restructuring, impairment charges, and gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gains and losses on equity-method investments: we incur restructuring and impairment charges on individual or groups of employed assets and charges and benefits arising from gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gains and losses (including impairments) on equity-method investments, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our ongoing operations with prior and future periods.

Significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits as well as legal costs in connection with litigation and other contingencies unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these charges or benefits, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters because we do not believe they are reflective of ongoing business and operating results.

Income tax expense:we estimate the tax effect of the excluded items identified above to determine a non-GAAP annual effective tax rate applied to the pretax amount in order to calculate the non-GAAP provision for income taxes. We also adjust for items for which the nature and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items excluded if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

Percentage sales growth in currency-neutral amounts are calculated by translating prior period sales in each local currency using the current period’s monthly average foreign exchange rates for that currency and comparing that to current period sales.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

 

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS), which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring charges; asset impairment charges; gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable; gains and losses on equity-method investments; and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

 

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
