PITTSBURGH, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wesco International (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions, announces its results for the first quarter of 2023.

Wesco International

"After delivering an exceptional performance in 2022, we're off to a strong start this year and once again set new first quarter company records for sales, backlog, margin and profitability. The power of our increased scale, industry-leading positions, and expanded portfolio of products, services and solutions is clearly evident in our continued strong performance," said John Engel, Chairman, President and CEO.

Mr. Engel continued, "Strong secular demand trends and continued execution of our enterprise-wide cross selling and margin improvement programs are driving our sustained growth and market outperformance. Our dedicated team of colleagues continues to provide resilient and critical supply chain solutions for our customers around the world, capturing the benefits of our exposure to these sustainable secular trends. As our three-year integration program comes to a close this year, our digital transformation is accelerating which will result in an even higher level of performance, operating efficiency, supplier partnership and customer loyalty."

Mr. Engel concluded, "We are reaffirming our 2023 outlook and remain confident in our ability to drive mid- to high-single digit sales growth this year, along with continued EBITDA margin expansion. We are also reaffirming that we expect to generate approximately $600 to $800 million in free cash flow in support of our growth initiatives and capital allocation priorities. In the near-term, we are focusing our cash generation on debt reduction and expect to reduce our leverage below the midpoint of our target range of 2.0 to 3.5x by year-end. We look forward with greater confidence than ever to a future of market outperformance and value creation."

The following are results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022:

  • Net sales were $5.5 billion for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $4.9 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 12.0%, reflecting price inflation and volume growth, secular demand trends, execution of our cross-sell program, and an improving supply chain. Organic sales for the first quarter of 2023 grew 10.8% as the acquisition of Rahi Systems, which closed in November of 2022, positively impacted reported net sales by 2.8%, while fluctuations in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted reported net sales by 1.6%. Backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2023 increased 21% compared to the end of the first quarter of 2022. Sequentially, backlog remained flat.

  • Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2023 was $4.3 billion compared to $3.9 billion for the first quarter of 2022, and gross profit was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 21.9% and 21.3% for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of 2023 reflects our continued focus on value-driven pricing and pass-through of inflationary costs, along with the continued momentum of our margin improvement program.

  • Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $817.7 million, or 14.8% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $718.1 million, or 14.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2022. SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 include merger-related and integration costs of $19.5 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Adjusted for these amounts, SG&A expenses were $798.2 million, or 14.5% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2023 and $692.5 million, or 14.0% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2023 reflect higher salaries and benefits due to wage inflation and increased headcount, including the impact of the Rahi Systems acquisition, as well as an increase in volume-related costs such as commissions and transportation. Increased costs to operate our facilities also contributed to higher SG&A expenses. In addition, digital transformation initiatives contributed to higher expenses in the first quarter of 2023, including those related to professional and consulting fees. These increases were partially offset by the realization of integration cost synergies and a reduction to incentive compensation expense.

  • Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of 2023 was $44.4 million compared to $47.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.6 million. In connection with an integration initiative to review the Company's brand strategy, certain legacy trademarks are migrating to a master brand architecture, which resulted in $5.3 million of accelerated amortization expense for the first quarter of 2022.

  • Operating profit was $346.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $284.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $62.4 million, or 22.0%. Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.3% for the current quarter compared to 5.8% for the first quarter of the prior year. Adjusted for the merger-related and integration costs described above, operating profit was $365.9 million, or 6.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted for merger-related and integration costs, and accelerated trademark amortization, operating profit was $314.9 million, or 6.4% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2022.

  • Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2023 was $95.0 million compared to $63.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase reflects higher borrowings and an increase in variable interest rates.

  • Other non-operating expense for the first quarter of 2023 was $10.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. Net benefits of $0.3 million and $3.6 million associated with the non-service cost components of net periodic pension (benefit) cost were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, a net foreign currency exchange loss of $9.5 million was recognized for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2022.

  • The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 18.3% compared to 17.2% for the first quarter of 2022. The current quarter and the comparable prior year period both reflect discrete income tax benefits resulting from the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. The first quarter of 2022 also reflects a discrete income tax benefit resulting from a reduction to the valuation allowance recorded against foreign tax credit carryforwards.

  • Net income attributable to common stockholders was $182.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $166.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted for merger-related and integration costs and the related income tax effect, net income attributable to common stockholders was $196.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted for merger-related and integration costs, accelerated trademark amortization expense, and the related income tax effects, net income attributable to common stockholders was $189.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders increased 3.8% year-over-year.

  • Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023 was $3.48, based on 52.5 million diluted shares, compared to $3.19 for the first quarter of 2022, based on 52.2 million diluted shares. Adjusted for merger-related and integration costs and the related income tax effect, earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023 was $3.75. Adjusted for merger-related and integration costs, accelerated trademark amortization expense, and the related income tax effects, earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022 was $3.63. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 3.3% year-over-year.

  • Operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2023 was an outflow of $255.4 million compared to an outflow of $172.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. The net cash outflow in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by changes in working capital, including an increase in inventories of $223.8 million as shipments from suppliers have accelerated due to an improving supply chain. An increase in trade accounts receivable of $133.5 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $86.5 million due to the timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers, respectively, also contributed to the net cash outflow.

Segment Results

The Company has operating segments comprising three strategic business units consisting of Electrical & Electronic Solutions ("EES"), Communications & Security Solutions ("CSS") and Utility & Broadband Solutions ("UBS").

The Company incurs corporate costs primarily related to treasury, tax, information technology, legal and other centralized functions. Segment results include depreciation expense or other allocations related to various corporate assets. Interest expense and other non- operating items are either not allocated to the segments or reviewed on a segment basis. Corporate expenses not directly identifiable with our reportable segments are reported in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the consolidated financial statements.

The following are results by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022:

  • EES reported net sales of $2,135.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $2,090.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 2.2%. Organic sales for the first quarter of 2023 grew 3.9% as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted reported net sales by 1.7%. The increase in organic sales compared to the prior year quarter reflects continued momentum in our industrial business driven by strength in the automation, petrochemical, and metals and mining end markets, as well as growth in non-residential construction. These positive factors were partially offset by a transfer of certain customer accounts to the CSS segment, which negatively impacted reported net sales for EES by approximately 2%, as well as lower sales in certain original equipment manufacturer end markets. EBITDA, adjusted for other non-operating expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, was $183.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, or 8.6% of net sales, compared to $192.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 9.2% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $9.4 million, or 4.9% year-over-year, as an increase in gross profit was more than offset by higher SG&A expenses.

  • CSS reported net sales of $1,732.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1,434.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 20.8%. Organic sales for the first quarter of 2023 grew 13.3% as the acquisition of Rahi Systems in the fourth quarter of 2022 positively impacted reported net sales by 9.5%, while fluctuations in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted reported net sales by 2.0%. The increase in organic sales compared to the prior year quarter reflects growth in our security solutions and network infrastructure businesses, as well as the benefits of cross selling and improvements in supply chain constraints. The transfer of certain customer accounts from the EES segment also positively impacted reported net sales for CSS by approximately 2%. EBITDA, adjusted for other non-operating expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, was $155.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, or 9.0% of net sales, compared to $123.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 8.6% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA increased $32.5 million, or 26.4% year-over-year. The increase primarily reflects the factors impacting the overall business, as described above.

  • UBS reported net sales of $1,654.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1,408.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 17.5%. Organic sales for the first quarter of 2023 grew 18.2% as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted reported net sales by 0.7%. The increase in organic sales compared to the prior year quarter reflects significant price inflation, secular trends in the utility business that are driving growth, as well as expansion in our integrated supply business. These positive factors were partially offset by lower sales in our broadband business due to certain customers depleting existing inventories. EBITDA, adjusted for other non-operating expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, was $187.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, or 11.3% of net sales, compared to $136.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 9.7% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA increased $51.4 million, or 37.7% year-over-year. The increase primarily reflects the factors impacting the overall business, as described above.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presented or implied in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the failure to achieve the expected benefits of the transaction between Wesco and Anixter International Inc. or the anticipated benefits of Wesco's acquisition of Rahi Systems Holdings, Inc. in the expected timeframe or at all, unexpected costs or problems that may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the companies, the impact of increased interest rates or borrowing costs, failure to adequately protect Wesco's intellectual property or successfully defend against infringement claims, failure to execute Wesco's environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs as planned, disruption of information technology systems or operations, natural disasters (including as a result of climate change), health epidemics, pandemics and other outbreaks (such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including any resurgences or new variants), supply chain disruptions, geopolitical issues, such as the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including the impact of sanctions or other actions taken by the U.S. or other countries against Russia (as well as those imposed on China), the increased risk of cyber incidents and exacerbation of key materials shortages, inflationary cost pressures, material cost increases, demand volatility, and logistics and capacity constraints, which may have a material adverse effect on the combined company's business, results of operations and financial condition. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the company's control.

The three months ended March 31, 2023 includes the repayment of the Company's $58.6 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Anixter Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Anixter 2023 Senior Notes"). The repayment of the Anixter 2023 Senior Notes was funded with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") above, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include organic sales growth, gross profit, gross margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, financial leverage, free cash flow, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc., adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, and adjusted earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they provide a better understanding of our financial condition and results of operations on a comparable basis. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures either focus on or exclude items impacting comparability of results such as merger-related and integration costs, and the related income tax effect of such items, allowing investors to more easily compare the Company's financial performance from period to period. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.

Stock-based compensation expense in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes $1.4 million that is included in merger-related and integration costs.


Note: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin % are non-GAAP financial measures that provide indicators of the Company's performance and its ability to meet debt service requirements. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before other non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and merger- related and integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin % is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by net sales.

Debt is presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and includes adjustments to record the long-term debt assumed in the merger with Anixter at its acquisition date fair value.


Note: Financial leverage is a non-GAAP measure of the use of debt. Financial leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt, excluding debt discount, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, net of cash, by adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months EBITDA before other non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and merger-related and integration costs.

Note: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure of liquidity. Capital expenditures are deducted from operating cash flow to determine free cash flow. Free cash flow is available to fund investing and financing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid for certain costs to integrate the acquired Anixter business. Such expenditures have been added back to operating cash flow to determine free cash flow for such periods. Our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
