“While we are encouraged by the sequential improvement we saw late in the quarter, earnings fell short of expectations. Supply chain constraints peaked in July and then began to ease, allowing us to steadily produce and ship more product in August and September. Underlying demand remained solid, direct to consumer sales were up 11%, and enthusiast engagement accelerated at our Holley-owned events. Channel inventories continued their decline in July and August, before partially recovering on the back of stronger shipments to resellers in September,” said Tom Tomlinson, Holley’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“As supply chain pressures eased throughout the quarter, we saw increased deliveries of key inputs. Our suppliers of automotive-grade microchips also began to resume shipments in the quarter which allowed us to ship more of our popular electronic products in September. These suppliers have also provided better visibility to future shipments. While challenges remain in the supply chain, we are focused on improving availability of parts and increasing shipments.”

Tomlinson continued, “Profitability was negatively impacted by lower production volumes that drove negative operating leverage and manufacturing inefficiencies, especially earlier in the quarter. We also saw higher input costs from both inflationary pressures and from the scarcity of certain automotive-grade microchips. Warranty costs were higher as resellers caught up on a backlog of warranty returns, and higher inbound freight and other overhead costs from earlier in the year are continuing to impact our results as they work their way through inventory. Pricing actions taken mid-year partially offset these cost headwinds.”

Tomlinson concluded, “In this challenging environment, we’re pleased with the solid demand we’ve seen for our products at a time when consumers are stressed by inflationary pressures. We believe we are now positioned to convert more of this demand to sales, as supply chain conditions improve, and as we continue to execute operationally. While there is still more work to do on lowering our cost structure and reducing our inventory levels, we are aggressively pursuing numerous improvement opportunities and continue to make solid progress integrating acquired businesses to drive further synergies. We remain confident in the underlying profitability and cash flow generation potential of our business, and we firmly believe that Holley’s position as an industry leader with ample runway for long-term profitable growth is unchanged."

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $4.9 million, or 3.1%, to $154.8 million as compared to $159.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. Non-comparable sales associated with acquisitions contributed $7.7 million, or 4.8%, of year-over-year growth. The remaining comparable sales decreased by $12.6 million, or 7.9%, compared to the prior year quarter, offsetting the impact from the acquisitions. The decline in comparable sales was primarily driven by supply chain constraints that prevented us from building and shipping to orders received from our customers. As a result, lower unit volume drove a decrease of approximately $24.0 million that was partially offset by improved price realization of approximately $11.4 million compared to the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2022 increased $11.9 million, or 12.6%, to $106.4 million, as compared to $94.5 million, for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold during the third quarter reflects compression in gross profit margin primarily due to manufacturing inefficiencies driven by supply chain constraints, higher warranty costs, which increased $4.5 million compared to the prior year period, and inflationary pressures on certain other costs.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the third quarter of 2022 increased $3.0 million, or 10.5%, to $31.9 million, as compared to $28.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. When expressed as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative costs increased to 20.6% of sales for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 18.1% of sales in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was driven by a $2.6 million increase in outbound shipping and handling costs related to inflationary pressures from domestic shipping companies and an increase of $1.0 million attributable to recent acquisitions. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $1.6 million in administrative and sales personnel costs, reflecting the Company's implementation of recent cost saving initiatives.

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $31.6 million compared to a net loss of $(30.2) million in the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was favorably impacted by a $37.6 million non-cash decrease in liabilities for warrants and earn-out shares, while net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted by a $24.1 million non-cash increase in the liabilities for warrants and earn-out shares and $23.3 million of related party acquisition and management fee costs.

Adjusted for non-cash items, Adjusted Net Loss was $(4.1) million, compared to last year’s Adjusted Net Income of $14.6 million. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income (Loss) is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

Adjusted EBITDA was $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $35.5 million in the third quarter last year. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income (Loss) is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

Diluted EPS of $0.27 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $(0.28) in 2021.

Holley ended the quarter with $16.6 million in cash on the balance sheet, and the $125 million revolving credit facility remains undrawn.

Full Year 2022 Outlook
Holley revised its outlook for 2022 to the following:

  • Net Sales in the range of $695-$710 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $118-$124 million
  • Capital Expenditures in the range of $14-$15 million
  • Depreciation and Amortization Expense of $24-$26 million
  • Interest Expense in the range of $33-$35 million

“While we are encouraged by the improvement we saw in September, challenges with the supply chain, manufacturing inefficiencies, freight costs, and elevated expenses continue into the fourth quarter,” said Stephen Trussell, Vice President of Finance and Interim Chief Financial Officer. “Consequently, we are reducing our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for the year. Our balance sheet remains healthy, and we have maintained ample liquidity through our cash balance and undrawn revolver. We are focused on improving financial results and working capital management, towards the goal of healthy cash generation.”

Holley believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Organic Sales are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. In addition, Holley uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor its business. Holley believes that these non-GAAP and other financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of the underlying business, enabling the Company to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.

Holley defines EBITDA as earnings before (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Holley defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) acquisition integration and restructuring costs, (ii) an adjustment in 2021 due to a change in the fair value of the Simpson acquisition contingent consideration payable, (iii) impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets (iv) changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, (v) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, (vi) loss on the early extinguishment of debt (vii) compensation expense related to equity awards, (viii) related party acquisition and management fee costs, (ix) notable items that in 2022 consist primarily of non-cash adjustments related to the adoption of ASC 842, "Leases," and in 2021 consist primarily of the amortization of the fair market value increase in inventory due to acquisitions, and (x) other expenses, which includes losses from disposal of fixed assets and foreign currency transactions. We have included within the definition of Adjusted EBITDA impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, and losses from the early extinguishment of debt, as management believes such matters, when they occur, do not directly reflect the performance of the underlying business.

Holley calculates Adjusted Net Income by excluding the after-tax effect of items considered by management to be special items from the earnings reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses this measure to focus on on-going operations, and believes that it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present consolidated operating results. Holley believes that using this information, along with net income, provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations.

Organic sales, or sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, excludes the impact from sales from acquisitions within 365 days of the consummation of such acquisition. Holley believes organic sales provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding Holley's underlying sales trends.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and organic sales are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP and other financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing Holley’s financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

A forecast for full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, Holley is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.
