Raven Industries Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results

Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company; NASDAQ:RAVN) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter that ended January 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Noteworthy Items:

  • Applied Technology acquired Smart Ag, Inc. (Smart Ag®) and a majority ownership in DOT Technology Corp. (DOT®) in support of the Raven Autonomy™ strategic platform for growth;
  • Applied Technology's net sales increased 13 percent year-over-year, despite broad market weakness, on higher sales volume in both the U.S. and Latin America;
  • Applied Technology's operating income decreased 16 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter, which included $2.8 million of expenses related to Raven Autonomy™;
  • Engineered Films' net sales decreased 20 percent year-over-year, partially driven by a $4.0 million decline in hurricane recovery film sales;
  • Engineered Films launched fabrication operations on the East Coast of the U.S. to expand its serviceable markets for geomembrane, energy and construction products;
  • Aerostar's net sales increased 42 percent year-over-year driven by higher sales of stratospheric platforms and technical services and the delivery of $2 million in aerostats;
  • Aerostar successfully went live on the Company's new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, joining Engineered Films on the same platform.

Fiscal 2020 Noteworthy Items:

  • Aerostar's net sales and division profit increased 7 percent and 5 percent, respectively, driven by strength in products and technical services related to stratospheric platforms and radar systems;
  • Aerostar was awarded two aerostat contracts totaling $10 million, $8 million of which is expected to be realized in fiscal 2021;
  • Despite end-market challenges in North America, sales in Applied Technology grew year-over-year, driven by sales of new products and growth in international markets;
  • Applied Technology’s investment in its Latin American operations drove a 40 percent increase in net sales year-over-year in this key region;
  • Applied Technology released its best-in-class visual guidance technology, VSN™;
  • The Company launched THRIVE, a business leadership program designed to invest in team member development and support future growth.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $85.8 million, down 2.6 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The year-over-year decline was driven by Engineered Films. The division experienced lower sales demand in the geomembrane market (specifically in the energy sub-market) in addition to a $4.0 million decrease in hurricane recovery film sales. The decline in Engineered Films was mostly offset by growth in Applied Technology and Aerostar. Net sales for those two divisions grew 12.5 percent and 42.3 percent, respectively, versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Consolidated operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $2.9 million versus operating income of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, decreasing 13.2 percent year-over-year. Included in the results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3.2 million of Raven Autonomy™ related expenses. The change in consolidated operating income was driven by lower sales and corresponding negative operating leverage in Engineered Films as well as Raven Autonomy™ related expenses. These impacts were partially offset by increased sales volume and improved profitability within Aerostar and Applied Technology's underlying businesses.

Net income attributable to Raven for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, versus $3.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in last year's fourth quarter. Raven Autonomy™ decreased net income attributable to Raven by $2.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Tax expense in the fourth quarter decreased primarily due to higher research and development tax credits, lower pre-tax income, and timing of discrete tax items.

Supplemental Financial Information:

As part of the Investor Day event held during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company updated its long-term financial guidance, which includes an expected decline in near-term operating margin for Applied Technology and consolidated Raven. This temporary decrease will be driven by the Company's planned investment to advance Raven Autonomy™, one of the Company's strategic platforms for growth.

The investment in Raven Autonomy™ began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 through the acquisition of Smart Ag and a majority ownership in DOT, both early-stage pre-revenue technology companies. The investment will accelerate further throughout fiscal 2021 as these technologies are fully developed, integrated and commercialized. The investment will largely be focused on research and development but will also include selling and administrative activities, all of which are recognized as expenses in the period incurred. Additionally, there will be amortization expense of the acquired intangibles when commercialization begins.

The Company plans to provide supplemental financial information to investors during the investment period in order to provide clarity on Applied Technology's historical business. The financial impact of Raven Autonomy™ in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was as follows:

Applied Technology Division:

Net sales for Applied Technology in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $32.9 million, up 12.5 percent year-over-year. Despite the continued ag market challenges in North America caused by the historically wet spring, the division achieved year-over-year growth led by the strength of its product portfolio, which drove higher sales volume in both the U.S. and Latin America.

Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $5.6 million, down $1.0 million or 15.5 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. This year's fourth quarter results included $2.8 million in research and development and other Raven Autonomy™ related expenses. In Applied Technology's underlying business, the division achieved growth in sales volume and produced strong incremental margins.

Engineered Films Division:

Net sales for Engineered Films in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $39.5 million, down $10.0 million or 20.1 percent year-over-year. The year-over-year decline was led by lower sales in the geomembrane market (specifically in the energy sub-market), due to weak end-market demand. In addition, the year-over-year sales development was negatively impacted by a $4.0 million decrease in hurricane recovery film sales, which given their nature are infrequent.

Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3.7 million, down $2.8 million or 42.7 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Lower sales volume and the resulting negative operating leverage drove the year-over-year decline in division operating income.

Aerostar Division:

Net sales for Aerostar in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $13.4 million, up $4.0 million or 42.3 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was led by sales growth in the division's stratospheric platforms and technical services. In addition, the division realized $2.3 million in aerostat sales related to the recently awarded aerostat contracts. The remaining aerostat contract award of $8 million is expected to be realized in fiscal 2021. Aerostat sales vary significantly from year-to-year, as customer demand for such products is inherently inconsistent. The division's aerostat product line is very competitive and generates strong margins for the division. Aerostats are core to the division, and Aerostar will continue to supply these systems when there is demand.

Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1.2 million, up $3.5 million versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Increased sales volume of stratospheric platforms and aerostats drove the year-over-year increase in operating income. When analyzing the performance of Aerostar, it is beneficial to evaluate the division over a longer period of time due to the fluctuation in timing of contracts. Year-over-year, Aerostar generated strong growth in both net sales and operating income throughout fiscal 2020, and the division has achieved a compound annual growth rate of nearly 17 percent on revenue over the past three fiscal years.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.7 million, decreasing $56.4 million from the prior quarter. The sequential decrease in cash was primarily driven by the acquisition of Smart Ag and a majority ownership in DOT.

Fiscal Year 2020 Results:

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2020 were $382.5 million, down 5.9 percent versus fiscal 2019. Net sales growth in both Aerostar and Applied Technology was offset by a decline in Engineered Films. In Engineered Films, the decrease in year-over-year net sales was driven by lower demand in its geomembrane market, in addition to a $12.6 million decline in hurricane recovery film sales.

Consolidated operating income for fiscal 2020 was $39.9 million, down 27.6 percent, versus $55.1 million in fiscal 2019. Included in the results for fiscal 2020 was $3.2 million of Raven Autonomy™ related expenses. The year-over-year decline was principally driven by lower sales volume and corresponding negative operating leverage in Engineered Films, Raven Autonomy™ related expenses, and increased investment in research and development expenses in Applied Technology. Included in consolidated operating income for both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 were Project Atlas related expenses, with fiscal 2019 also including an expense associated with a gift to South Dakota State University (see figures below).

Net income attributable to Raven for fiscal 2020 was $35.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, versus net income attributable to Raven of $51.8 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, in fiscal 2019.

In fiscal 2020, net income attributable to Raven included the following significant items:

  • The investment in Raven Autonomy™ of $3.2 million ($2.3 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share);
  • Project Atlas related expenses of $2.7 million ($2.1 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share).

In fiscal 2019, net income attributable to Raven included the following significant items:

  • A non-operating gain on the sale of the Company's ownership interest in SST of $5.8 million ($4.6 million after-tax, or $0.13 per diluted share);
  • An expense associated with a gift to South Dakota State University of $4.5 million ($3.6 million after-tax, or $0.10 per diluted share);
  • Project Atlas related expenses of $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax, or $0.09 per diluted share).

Strategic Platforms for Growth:

During the fourth quarter, the Company announced details for its two new strategic platforms for growth: Raven Autonomy™ and Raven Composites™. By building upon expertise in machine control technology and reinforced materials, the Company is investing from a position of strength to execute and spur a step-change in long-term earnings growth. As a result of these initiatives, the combined investment in research and development, acquisition activity, and capital expenditures will increase significantly over the next five years to drive a step-change in long-term growth. However, given the current global economic uncertainties, the Company is going to take a more measured approach in fiscal year 2021. As a result, Raven Autonomy™ will be prioritized for investment, while investment in Raven Composites™ will be more modest and likely not include an acquisition in the next nine months.

Raven Autonomy™ is expected to propel Applied Technology to become an industry leader in autonomous agricultural solutions. The Company began executing on its plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 through the acquisition of Smart Ag and by acquiring a majority ownership in DOT. As both companies were pre-revenue and in the technological development stage, Raven Autonomy™ did not generate sales in fiscal 2020. The Company plans to commercialize its first Raven Autonomy™ products by bringing the Dot system and AutoCart® to the market in fiscal 2021. Initial revenues are expected to be modest in the first year of commercialization. The Dot system is the unique U-shaped platform designed to autonomously handle a large variety of agriculture implements, and AutoCart allows users to operate a driverless tractor and grain cart from the cab of the combine. To support these commercialization efforts and further development of autonomous solutions for agriculture, Applied Technology expects to invest approximately $15 million in research and development and selling activities. The division previously planned to invest approximately $20 million in such activities in fiscal 2021 but has appropriately tempered its plans in light of the current economic environment. The division will also recognize $3 million in acquisition related amortization expense in fiscal 2021.

Raven Composites™ is expected to propel Engineered Films to become an industry leader in the reinforced composites market. In fiscal 2021, the Company plans to make modest investments in Raven Composites™ through investments in capital equipment to advance greenfield operations. An aggressive acquisition strategy, with a cadence of at least one acquisition a year, was envisioned for Raven Composites™ when this strategic platform was launched in November 2019. While the Company fully expects to execute on acquisitions to spring-board growth in the composites market, these will likely be delayed until fiscal year 2022 given the unprecedented uncertainties currently impacting the global economy. As a result of the planned investments, the Company is anticipating initial revenues from Raven Composites™ to begin in the second half of fiscal year 2021. Initial revenues will be modest and targeted in the construction, industrial and transportation markets.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook:

"While we are extremely excited about our long-term future, we cannot ignore the global economic uncertainties brought about by recent world events," said Dan Rykhus, President and CEO. "This is generating concerns from many market participants, and the likelihood of a global economic slowdown for the next several months is high. How extensive and how long this will persist are indeterminable, but I am very confident in our ability to respond to the challenges this is creating. We are in a very strong relative position. We serve diverse end-markets, we have strong competitive positions, we generate robust operating margins, and we have a solid balance sheet and cash flow profile. We will effectively manage the short-term uncertainties and financial performance, while continuing to fund our strategic platforms for growth, although not nearly as aggressively as we planned prior to the recent events.

"With respect to fiscal 2020, we are pleased with the results achieved given the unique market challenges that presented themselves. Market introduction of autonomous agricultural solutions in Raven Autonomy™, greenfield investments in Raven Composites™, and continued success in Aerostar are focused targets for fiscal 2021.

“Building on the acquisition of Smart Ag and a majority ownership in DOT, Applied Technology is moving towards becoming a market leader in autonomous agricultural solutions in fiscal 2021. We are making significant investments to commercialize autonomous agricultural solutions, while also continuing to release innovative precision ag products that solve challenges for our ag retailer and OEM partners. Investments in Raven Autonomy™ will negatively impact profits and margins in fiscal 2021; however, our underlying historical business in Applied Technology is strong. While the global economic environment will impact the ag market, the underlying historical business has a very strong product offering, which generates compelling returns for its end customers.

"In Engineered Films, we are focused on maximizing the returns on past investments given weaker anticipated end-market demand. We expect to see continued challenges in our geomembrane market (specifically in the energy sub-market), as recent global economic developments have significantly impacted oil prices and will drive reductions in domestic drilling activities. We believe the division's diverse market exposure will help insulate it from certain market dynamics, and the division is prepared for challenging end-market conditions. During fiscal 2021, we plan to make progress on the execution of our Raven Composites™ strategy through greenfield operations as we leverage our reinforced materials expertise to deliver thinner, lighter, and stronger composites to our customers. By developing Raven Composites™ and realizing opportunities in the industrial market, Engineered Films is expecting to set the foundation for stronger growth over the long-term.

"I am very pleased with Aerostar's financial performance and execution on its core stratospheric platforms and radar systems. The division will be executing on its noteworthy government contract wins while further advancing its technical services and integrated hardware and software solutions. The division expects to build on this year's strong performance in fiscal year 2021.

"This will be a very interesting and challenging year for Raven. While we are in such a unique position to capitalize on significant opportunities in the marketplace by advancing Raven Autonomy™ and Raven Composites™, we are not going to be as bold as we would prefer in fiscal 2021. We face great uncertainty and we must be prudent. We will be emphasizing the following four strategic priorities: upholding the Raven Way in all the decisions we make, emphasizing cash flow and liquidity from a position of strength, protecting the core business and our strong market positions, and continuing to invest in Raven Autonomy™, a strategic platform with tremendous long-term growth potential. We are a strong Company with a bright future, and we will prudently monitor and respond to whatever short-to-intermediate term economic conditions we face to ensure continued long-term success," concluded Rykhus.
