CEO Comment

Christophe Beck, Ecolab’s chairman and chief executive officer, said, “The second quarter was one of great momentum for Ecolab, reflecting the strategic decisions made over the past few years and the fundamental work done over the last several quarters. Our team’s strong execution resulted in continued robust organic sales growth, operating income margin expansion, and 13% growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share. As anticipated, the year-over-year rate of price increases started to ease, entirely due to comparisons with the accelerated pricing actions taken last year. Pricing in the quarter remained strong, sustained by carryover from last year and further new pricing. Overall volume remained steady, and turned modestly positive excluding Europe, as our team effectively offset softer macro demand with strong new business wins, leveraging our proven ‘circle the customer, circle the globe’ growth strategy. This robust topline performance, along with productivity initiatives and easing inflationary headwinds, drove 21% organic operating income growth, with double-digit growth across most businesses and geographies.

“We continue to strengthen our performance, including targeted actions in institutional, life sciences, and healthcare. Institutional continued its very strong recovery. Focus on new business and penetration generated share gains, and value pricing and productivity drove strong margin recovery. Our highly attractive life sciences business was not immune to the short-term market pressure, which led to flattish sales. However, we took the opportunity to gain share with major customers and to further invest in capacity and capabilities in biopharma, which resulted in a short-term operating income decline. Also, as promised, we have stayed focused on driving our healthcare transformation, which is showing good progress. We are well underway on the cost-saving initiatives we announced earlier this year and are now implementing our second strategic move to further improve business performance. Over the next few months, we will be creating two separate, yet focused businesses from our North American Healthcare business: surgical and infection prevention. This move will provide greater focus and support for our surgical business and allow infection prevention to leverage the critical mass and reach of our North American Institutional field team.

“Moving forward, we are very well positioned to deliver continued strong performance. Our leading positions in attractive market segments, driven by fundamental global growth trends, combined with our unique innovation, digital capabilities, and global service expertise will continue to help fuel robust new business wins and operating margin expansion. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, we anticipate strong organic sales gains and mid-teens growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second half of 2023.”

Second Quarter 2023 Consolidated Results

Ecolab’s second quarter reported sales increased 8% and organic sales increased 9% when compared to the prior year.

Second quarter 2023 reported operating income increased 14% including the impact of special gains and charges, which were a net charge primarily related to restructuring costs. Organic operating income growth accelerated to 21%, as strong pricing overcame investments in the business including incentive compensation, softer volume, and higher delivered product costs.

Reported other income decreased $5 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to higher pension costs.

Reported interest expense increased 39% reflecting the impact from higher average interest rates on outstanding debt.

The reported income tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 20.6% compared with the reported rate of 19.7% in the second quarter of 2022. Excluding special gains and charges and discrete tax items, the adjusted tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 19.9% compared with the adjusted tax rate of 19.2% in the second quarter of 2022.

Reported net income increased 7% versus the prior year. Excluding the impact of special gains and charges and discrete tax items, adjusted net income increased 13% versus the prior year.

Reported diluted earnings per share increased 6% versus the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 13% when compared against the second quarter of 2022. Currency translation had a $0.03 unfavorable impact on earnings per share in the second quarter of 2023.

  • amortization expense of $29 million related to the Nalco merger intangible assets and $22 million related to Purolite acquisition intangible assets
  • special gains and charges were a net charge of $29 million, primarily related to restructuring costs

Special gains and charges for the second quarter of 2022 were a net charge of $5 million and primarily reflected Purolite acquisition costs.

Business Outlook

2023

Ecolab expects to deliver performance that continues to strengthen despite a challenging macro environment where end market demand continues to ease. The Company expects robust sales and earnings growth driven by continued pricing and new business gains, improved productivity, and delivered product costs to remain high but ease progressively. This strong performance is expected to more than overcome the volatile macro environment to deliver mid-teens growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second half of 2023.

2023 – Third Quarter

Ecolab expects third quarter 2023 adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $1.45 to $1.55 range, rising 12% to 19% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.30 a year ago.

The Company currently expects quantifiable special charges in the third quarter of 2023 to be approximately $0.05 per share, principally related to restructuring charges. Other than the special gains and charges noted above, other such amounts are not currently quantifiable.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains certain statements relating to future events and our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “we believe,” “we expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” (including the negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding macroeconomic conditions, delivered product costs, demand, inflation, and our financial and business performance and prospects, including sales, earnings, special charges, margins, and productivity. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this news release. In particular, the ultimate results of any restructuring initiative depend on a number of factors, including the development of final plans, the impact of local regulatory requirements regarding employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the restructuring initiatives and the level of success achieved through such actions in improving competitiveness, efficiency and effectiveness.

Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect operating results and business performance are set forth under Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K, and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and include the impact of economic factors such as the worldwide economy, capital flows, interest rates, foreign currency risk, reduced sales and earnings in our international operations resulting from the weakening of local currencies versus the U.S. dollar, demand uncertainty, supply chain challenges and inflation; the vitality of the markets we serve; exposure to global economic, political and legal risks related to our international operations, including geopolitical instability, the impact of sanctions or other actions taken by the U.S. or other countries, and retaliatory measures taken by Russia in response, in connection with the conflict in Ukraine; difficulty in procuring raw materials or fluctuations in raw material costs; our ability to attract, retain and develop high caliber management talent to lead our business and successfully execute organizational change and changing labor market dynamics; information technology infrastructure failures or breaches in data security; the effects and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics; our ability to acquire complementary businesses and to effectively integrate such businesses, including Purolite; our ability to execute key business initiatives, including restructurings and our Enterprise Resource Planning system upgrades; our ability to successfully compete with respect to value, innovation and customer support; pressure on operations from consolidation of customers or vendors; restraints on pricing flexibility due to contractual obligations and our ability to meet our contractual commitments; the costs and effects of complying with laws and regulations, including those relating to the environment, climate change standards, and to the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and use of our products, as well as to the conduct of our business generally, including labor and employment and anti-corruption; potential chemical spill or release; our commitments, goals, targets, objectives and initiatives related to sustainability; potential to incur significant tax liabilities or indemnification liabilities relating to the separation and split-off of our ChampionX business; the occurrence of litigation or claims, including class action lawsuits; the loss or insolvency of a major customer or distributor; repeated or prolonged government and/or business shutdowns or similar events; acts of war or terrorism; natural or man-made disasters; water shortages; severe weather conditions; changes in tax laws and unanticipated tax liabilities; potential loss of deferred tax assets; our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with covenants that apply to our indebtedness; potential losses arising from the impairment of goodwill or other assets; and other uncertainties or risks reported from time to time in our reports to the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release and certain of the accompanying tables include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

These non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • fixed currency sales
  • organic sales, formerly known as acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales
  • adjusted cost of sales
  • adjusted gross profit
  • adjusted gross margin
  • fixed currency operating income
  • adjusted operating income
  • adjusted fixed currency operating income
  • adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
  • organic operating income, formerly known as acquisition adjusted fixed currency operating income
  • organic operating income margin, formerly known as acquisition adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
  • adjusted tax rate
  • adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab
  • adjusted diluted earnings per share
  • free cash flow

We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted tax rate, adjusted net income attributable to Ecolab and adjusted diluted earnings per share further exclude the impact of discrete tax items. We include items within special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results. After tax special (gains) and charges are derived by applying the applicable local jurisdictional tax rate to the corresponding pre-tax special (gains) and charges.

We evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency rates of foreign exchange, which eliminate the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023. We also provide our segment results based on public currency rates for informational purposes.

Our reportable segments do not include the impact of intangible asset amortization from the Nalco and Purolite transactions or the impact of special (gains) and charges as these are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for organic sales, organic operating income and organic operating income margin are at fixed currency and exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges, the results of our acquired businesses from the first twelve months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the twelve months prior to divestiture. In addition, as part of the separation, we also entered into a Master Cross Supply and Product Transfer agreement with ChampionX to provide, receive or transfer certain products for a period up to 36 months and for a small set of products with limited suppliers over the next few years. Sales of product to ChampionX under this agreement are recorded in product and equipment sales in the Corporate segment along with the related cost of sales. These transactions are removed from the consolidated results as part of the calculation of the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash outlays for capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. It should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe free cash flow is meaningful to investors as it functions as a useful measure of performance and we use this measure as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend that investors view these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this news release. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures are included in the following "Supplemental Non-GAAP Reconciliations" and “Supplemental Diluted Earnings per Share Information” tables included in this news release.

We do not provide reconciliations for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis (including those contained in this news release) when we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact reported earnings per share and the reported tax rate, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to adjusted earnings per share and the adjusted tax rate. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

As shown in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above, we evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency exchange rates, which eliminate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international operations. Amounts shown in the “Public Currency Rates” tables above reflect amounts translated at actual public average rates of exchange prevailing during the corresponding period and are provided for informational purposes. The difference between the fixed currency exchange rates and the public currency exchange rates is reported as “Currency impact” in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above.

 

The Corporate segment includes amortization from the Nalco and Purolite transactions intangible assets. The Corporate segment also includes special (gains) and charges reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
