Dorel Reports First Quarter 2022 Results


  • Dorel Juvenile revenue increases in most markets
  • Dorel Home impacted by reduced demand
  • Profitability reduced by pressure on margins

MONTREAL, May 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) today released results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“First quarter challenges generally mirrored those of the previous quarter. Supply chain issues, high inflation as well as its impact on pricing and our consumers and uncertainty in Europe all contributed to lower earnings in the quarter. Sales at Dorel Home declined versus prior year as consumers made fewer purchases of home office furniture with the easing of Covid-19 and retail price points increased. At Dorel Juvenile, retail price points increased as well, but demand remained strong in most markets. We have implemented price increases in both segments that are expected to improve results through the balance of the year. Despite the current environment causing earnings to be less than prior year, we remain confident in our ability to improve earnings going forward as we are doing the things we can control, and fundamentals remain strong. Our strategic plans in both segments remain on track,” stated Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz.

Revenue for the first quarter from continuing operations was US$428.0 million, down 2.4% compared to US$438.6 million a year ago. Reported net loss from continuing operations was US$27.2 million or US$0.84 per diluted share, compared to US$12.8 million or US$0.40 per diluted share last year. Adjusted net loss1 from continuing operations was US$24.8 million or US$0.76 per diluted share compared to US$3.4 million or US$0.10 per diluted share a year ago.

This is a non-GAAP financial ratio or measure with no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Refer to the section “Definition and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial ratios and measures” in this press release.

First quarter revenue was US$211.5 million, down US$17.2 million, or 7.5%, from US$228.7 million last year. Internet and brick & mortar sales were lower as the erratic supply chain situation persisted, reducing the availability of containers to ship product. Last year’s first quarter benefitted from the strong demand during the prolonged stay-at-home period, particularly in home office furniture. While demand is softer this year, there has been significant sales growth at DIY and other non-traditional Dorel Home retailers. Branded sales maintained their consistent increase, again improving prior year numbers by double digits. New machinery at the segment’s ready-to-assemble factories in Tiffin, Ohio and Cornwall, Ontario is providing productivity improvements and one of two new mattress lines at Dorel Home Products’ Montreal facility is also running, with the second line expected to be operational during the second quarter.

First quarter operating profit was US$5.5 million compared to US$14.8 million last year. In addition to lower sales, significantly higher ocean freight costs, increased particle board prices, higher warehousing costs from increased inventories all contributed to reduced gross margins. Demurrage and detention cost issues that lowered earnings in the prior year are resolved and savings in these categories partially offset these higher costs.

Refer to the section “Definition and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial ratios and measures” in this press release.

First quarter revenue increased by US$6.7 million, or 3.2%, to US$216.6 million from US$209.9 million last year. Adjusted organic revenue1, improved by approximately 8.9%, after removing the impact of varying foreign exchange rates year-over-year and prior year revenue from the Zhongshan, China manufacturing facility that was disposed of at the end of the first quarter last year. The most significant contributor to the revenue increase was the U.S. market with strong sales growth in travel systems, strollers, safety/infant health and home equipment. This more than offset lower car seat sales that were limited by component shortages stemming from supply chain issues from Asia, an issue that also constrained sales growth in Europe and Canada. Sales in Chile and Peru grew by strong double digits, as shoppers returned to retail stores.

Operating profit was negatively impacted by higher container freight and input costs, as well as increased operating costs overall. Margins were also lowered by the component shortage in the U.S. that led to lower manufacturing activity and less factory overhead absorption. In addition, product liability costs increased by US$8.5 million versus last year. Price increases are in place in all markets, although timing limited their positive impact, with greater benefit to come going forward.

As a result, first quarter operating loss was US$12.5 million, compared to US$7.6 million last year. Excluding restructuring costs, adjusted operating loss1 was US$10.0 million, compared to an adjusted operating profit1 of US$2.1 million a year ago.

Outlook
“In the two months since our year end guidance, visibility remains difficult. Volatility in our earnings is expected to continue given rising inflation around the world and its direct impact on input costs and the potential of slowing consumer demand. In addition, the uncertainty around the war in Ukraine and China’s strategy on Covid containment has led to a surge in the value of the U.S. dollar against most currencies and has created new concerns around supply out of China. A positive development is that we are seeing some improvement in the supply chain situation out of Asia for now with better container availability and a stabilization of pricing,” commented Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz.

“The outlook for Dorel Home remains challenging given the lower consumer demand for furniture overall. In addition, with the attitude towards the Covid-19 pandemic changing, purchases for the home have slowed. Despite these givens, we continue to focus on “near sourcing” with our newly installed machinery, the integration of our recently acquired European business and our branded furniture lines. This will put us in a leading position as demand for our products picks-up in a more stable environment.

“In Juvenile, the market most impacted by uncertainty is Europe. The devaluation of the Euro to its lowest level in over five years relative to the U.S. dollar and retailers ordering cautiously means our outlook for second quarter is less positive than previously. As in Home, we have not allowed the current challenges to detract from our long-term direction and we believe our strategy on recapturing market share remains valid. We are actively working with our retail partners on enhanced marketing, store investments and the roll-out of our new products in Europe, but the positive impact of these actions may be delayed,” concluded Mr. Schwartz.

  • costs associated with product liability;
  • changes in income tax legislation or the interpretation or application of those rules;
  • the continued ability to develop products and support brand names;
  • changes in the regulatory environment;

  • the effect of international conflicts on the Company’s sales;
  • continued access to capital resources, including compliance by the Company with all of the terms and conditions under its ABL facility, and the related costs of borrowing, all of which may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • failures related to information technology systems;

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Ratios and Measures

Dorel is presenting in this press release certain non-GAAP financial ratios and measures, as described below. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Contained within this press release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Dorel believes that the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures used in this press release provide investors with additional information to analyze its results and to measure its financial performance by excluding the variation caused by certain items that Dorel believes do not reflect its core business performance and provides better comparability between the periods presented. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess Dorel’s financial performance and to make operating and strategic decisions.

Adjustments to non-GAAP financial ratios and measures
As noted above, certain of our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios exclude the variation caused by certain adjustments that affect the comparability of Dorel’s financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Adjustments which impact more than one non-GAAP financial ratio and measure are explained below.

Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs are comprised of costs directly related to significant exit activities, including the sale of manufacturing facilities, closure of businesses, reorganization, optimization, transformation, and consolidation to improve the competitive position of the Company in the marketplace and to reduce costs and bring efficiencies, and acquisition-related costs in connection with business acquisitions. Restructuring costs are included as an adjustment of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations. Restructuring costs were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (2021 - $9.7 million). Refer to the section “Restructuring costs – Continuing operations” in the MD&A for more details.

Impact of acquired businesses
The impact of acquired businesses is included as an adjustment of adjusted organic revenue growth (decline). Revenue from acquired businesses is adjusted during the first year of operation in order to get a better comparison of revenue from year-to-year. Revenue from acquired businesses was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and was all related to the acquisition of Notio Living by Dorel Home.     

Impact of the sale of divisions
The impact of the sale of divisions is included as an adjustment of adjusted organic revenue growth (decline). Revenue from the sale of divisions is adjusted during the year after the disposal in order to get a better comparison of revenue from year-to-year. Revenue from the sale of divisions was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and was all related to the disposal of the manufacturing facility in Zhongshan, China by Dorel Juvenile.     

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin
Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding the impact of restructuring costs. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. Dorel uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel also uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin on a segment basis to measure its performance at the segment level. Dorel excludes this item because it affects the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use the adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the restructuring costs. Excluding this item does not imply it is necessarily non-recurring. These ratios and measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.

There are no adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations
Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations is calculated as operating profit (loss) from continuing operations excluding the impact of restructuring costs. Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations also excludes impairment loss on goodwill. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel also uses adjusted operating profit (loss) on a segment basis to measure its performance at the segment level. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use the adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the restructuring costs and impairment loss on goodwill. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.

Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations

Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations is calculated as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the impact of restructuring costs and impairment loss on goodwill, as well as income taxes expense (recovery) relating to the adjustments above. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares. Management uses adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance.

Organic revenue growth (decline) and adjusted organic revenue growth (decline)

Organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated as revenue growth (decline) compared to the previous period, excluding the impact of varying foreign exchange rates. Adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated as revenue growth (decline) compared to the previous period, excluding the impact of varying foreign exchange rates and the impact of the acquired businesses for the first year of operation and the sale of divisions. Management modified the calculation of the adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) to remove revenue from acquired businesses for the first year of operation in order to get a better comparison of revenue from year-to-year. Management uses organic revenue growth (decline) and adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use organic revenue growth (decline) and adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.
