Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Roseville, Minn., November 1, 2023 – Hawkins, Inc. (Nasdaq: HWKN) today announced results for the three and six months ended October 1, 2023, its second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights:
•Second quarter sales of $236.5 million, with Water Treatment group sales growth of 17% over the same quarter in the prior year.
•Record quarterly gross profit of $53.9 million, a 16% increase over the prior year, contributing to record quarterly operating income of $33.0 million, a 25% year-over-year increase.
•Record second quarter diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.10, 28% higher than the same period last year.
•Record quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure, of $41.5 million, a 22% increase over the same period of the prior year.
•Record quarterly operating cash flow of $57.8 million, a portion of which was used to pay down $28.6 million on our revolving line of credit, reducing our debt to $60.0 million and bringing our leverage ratio to 0.45x adjusted EBITDA.
•Year-to-date diluted EPS of $2.22 grew 24% over the prior year.
•After quarter-end, added six Water Treatment locations through acquisitions of Water Solutions Unlimited, Inc. and The Miami Products & Chemical Company.
Executive Commentary – Patrick H. Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer and President:
“We are pleased with our strong year-over-year performance in the second quarter, with our bottom line growing 29%, following our strong first-quarter growth of 19%. Our Water Treatment group once again led the way with revenue growth of 17% and operating income growth of nearly 70%. We continue to see profit growth within this segment, as we execute on our strategy to grow both the legacy business and the businesses we have acquired over the last few years. Although our Industrial group sales declined year-over-year, operating income was up 2%. In addition, the year-over-year second quarter sales decline in our Health and Nutrition group slowed to about half of what it was in the first quarter, showing signs of improvement."
Mr. Hawkins continued, "The strong first-half results, combined with disciplined inventory management, allowed us to pay down $52 million on our debt in the first six months of the year. Our strong financial position has allowed us to continue our strategy of Water Treatment growth as we added six additional locations through two acquisitions after quarter-end. We expect continued growth in our Water Treatment segment for the remainder of the year, remain cautiously optimistic about our Industrial segment, and expect the Health and Nutrition distribution business to improve on a year-over-year basis beginning in calendar 2024. With the diversity of our businesses and the overall strength of our Company, we believe we will continue to generate strong operating cash flow and will continue to manage our balance sheet during the remainder of the fiscal year."
Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
NET INCOME
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company reported net income of $23.2 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $18.0 million, or $0.86 per diluted share.
REVENUE
Sales were $236.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 2%, from sales of $241.2 million in the same period a year ago. Decreased sales in our Industrial and Health and Nutrition segments more than offset increased sales in our Water Treatment segment. Industrial segment sales decreased $15.4 million, or 14%, to $98.5 million for the current quarter, from $113.9 million in the same period a year ago. The sale of our consumer bleach packaging business at the end of fiscal 2023 resulted in $4.0 million lower sales in the current quarter. In addition, Industrial segment sales declined due to overall lower volumes. Water Treatment segment sales increased $14.4 million or 17%, to $100.9 million for the current quarter, from $86.5 million in the same period a year ago. Water Treatment sales increased as a result of increased selling prices on many of our products as well as increased sales volumes of certain of our products. Health and Nutrition segment sales decreased $3.7 million, or 9%, to $37.1 million for the current quarter, from $40.8 million in the same period a year ago. Health and Nutrition segment sales decreased primarily due to lower demand from our customers, which we believe was driven by excess inventory at some of our customers as well as lower consumer demand for health and immunity products. The sales decline experienced in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was about half the decline experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased $7.5 million, or 16%, to $53.9 million, or 23% of sales, for the current quarter, from $46.4 million, or 19% of sales, in the same period a year ago. During the current quarter, the LIFO reserve decreased, and gross profit increased, by $3.2 million due primarily to decreasing raw material prices. In the same quarter a year ago, the LIFO reserve increased, and gross profit decreased, by $5.3 million due primarily to rising raw material prices. Gross profit for the Industrial segment increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $17.8 million, or 18% of sales, for the current quarter, from $17.7 million, or 16% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Industrial segment gross profit increased slightly due to improved unit margins on certain products. Gross profit for the Water Treatment segment increased $8.8 million, or 43%, to $29.3 million, or 29% of sales, for the current quarter, from $20.5 million, or 24% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Water Treatment segment gross profit increased as a result of improved per-unit margins on many of our products as well as increased sales. Gross profit for our Health and Nutrition segment decreased $1.5 million, or 18%, to $6.7 million, or 18% of sales, for the current quarter, from $8.2 million, or 20% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Health and Nutrition segment gross profit decreased as a result of lower sales and lower per-unit margins on certain products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 6%, to $20.9 million, or 9% of sales, for the current quarter, from $19.8 million, or 8% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Expenses increased largely due to increased variable pay as well as added costs from acquired businesses.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important performance indicator and a key compliance measure under the terms of our credit agreement. An explanation of the computation of adjusted EBITDA is presented below. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended October 1, 2023 was $41.5 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 22%, from $34.0 million in the same period a year ago.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 27% for both the current quarter and the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the full year is currently expected to be approximately 26-27%.
BALANCE SHEET
During the second quarter, our working capital demands decreased in large part due to favorable cash collections on accounts receivable and disciplined management of our inventory levels. This improvement, along with higher net income, allowed us to reduce our debt by $28.6 million in the quarter and $52 million year to date. We now have total outstanding debt of $60 million, which is 0.45x our trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA, down from 0.96x at the end of fiscal 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our consolidated financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To assist investors in understanding our financial performance between periods, we have provided certain financial measures not computed according to GAAP, including adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies.
Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make operating decisions. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
We define adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income adjusted for the impact of the following: net interest expense resulting from our net borrowing position; income tax expense; non-cash expenses including amortization of intangibles, depreciation and charges for the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock grants; and non-recurring items of income or expense, if applicable.
