Management Comments
President and Chief Executive Officer Donald W. Duda said, “Methode had strong sales in the quarter led by our lighting and power distribution solutions, and our EV application sales set another record. Material cost inflation continues to significantly challenge our margins, but we were still able to deliver strong free cash flow. The main highlight of the quarter was new awards of over $250 million, with over 80% being in EV applications. We have now won $600 million in EV awards over the past three years."

Mr. Duda added, "As our business continues to transition away from user interface towards more lighting and power solutions, our fiscal 2024 will see significant investment to support over 20 new program launches. This transition investment combined with the impact of legacy program roll offs will cause us to see lower earnings in fiscal 2024. However, the strong award pipeline along with an expected rebound in the commercial vehicle, data center and e-bike markets will position us to deliver significant organic sales and earnings growth in fiscal 2025 over fiscal 2024.”

Consolidated Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Methode's net sales were $301.2 million, up 4.3% compared to $288.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 fourth quarter’s net sales included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $7.7 million. Favorably impacting net sales was $2.5 million of material spot buy and premium freight cost recovery, which compared to $7.0 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the foreign currency and cost recovery impacts, net sales were up 8.8% compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly the result of higher sales in the Industrial segment driven by lighting solutions for commercial vehicles and power distribution solutions for electric vehicles.

Income from operations was $8.5 million or 2.8% of net sales, compared to $14.6 million or 5.1% of net sales in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to acquisition costs from the Nordic Lights transaction. The fiscal 2023 fourth quarter’s income from operations included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.6 million. Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $15.8 million, up from $14.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 fourth quarter adjusted income from operations excluded expenses of $6.8 million for acquisition-related costs and $0.5 million related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

Other income, net was $0.7 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. Net foreign exchange remeasurement loss was $4.0 million, compared to $0.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The net foreign exchange remeasurement loss included $2.1 million related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary. International government assistance was $5.1 million, compared to $2.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The government assistance was primarily related to grants for maintaining certain employment levels as well as COVID-19 assistance in the prior year.

Income tax was a benefit of $0.3 million, compared to an expense of $1.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 had a net discrete tax event benefit of $9.6 million related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

Net income was $8.1 million or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $16.2 million or $0.43 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 fourth quarter’s net income included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $7.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $16.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 fourth quarter adjusted net income excluded an expense of $6.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for acquisition-related costs and a net benefit of $7.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for a discrete tax event related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of Intangibles), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $21.9 million, compared to $30.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $31.3 million, compared to $30.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA excluded expenses of $6.8 million for acquisition-related costs and $2.6 million related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

Debt was $306.8 million at the end of the quarter, compared to $210.5 million at the end of fiscal 2022. Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $149.8 million, compared to $38.5 million at the end of fiscal 2022. The increase in debt and net debt was mainly due to the Nordic Lights acquisition.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.0 million for the quarter, compared to $42.0 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment, was $37.8 million, compared to $33.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly due to working capital improvements.

As previously announced on June 16, 2022, the board of directors authorized the purchase of an additional $100 million of the company’s outstanding common stock to the authorization from March 2021, bringing the total program authorization to $200 million. The company purchased and retired 191,722 shares of stock for $8.5 million in the quarter.

Segment Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Comparing the Automotive segment's quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2022,

• Net sales were $186.2 million, down $8.1 million or 4.2% from $194.3 million. The segment net sales were unfavorably impacted by $5.1 million of foreign currency translation. Favorably impacting net sales was $2.0 million of material spot buy and premium freight cost recovery, which compared to $7.0 million in the prior year quarter. Net of the foreign currency translation and cost recovery impacts, net sales increased by $2.0 million or 1.1% due to higher volume in EMEA and Asia, partially offset by lower volume in North America. The North America decline was mainly due to the roll-off of a major program.

• Income from operations was $10.2 million, down $7.0 million or 40.7% from $17.2 million due to inflationary pressures on material and other manufacturing costs. Foreign currency translation was an unfavorable $0.6 million. Net of the foreign currency translation, income from operations decreased $6.4 million. Income from operations was 5.5% of net sales, down from 8.9%.

Comparing the Industrial segment's quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2022,

• Net sales were $98.0 million, up $19.1 million or 24.2% from $78.9 million. The segment net sales were unfavorably impacted by $2.6 million of foreign currency translation. Net of foreign currency translation, net sales increased by $21.7 million or 27.5% driven by lighting for commercial vehicles and power distribution for electric vehicles.

• Income from operations was $23.4 million, up $13.0 million or 125.0% from $10.4 million primarily due to higher sales volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies in China related to COVID-19 lockdowns in the prior year, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expense and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $0.8 million. Net of the foreign currency translation, income from operations increased $13.8 million. Income from operations was 23.9% of net sales, up from 13.2%.

Comparing the Interface segment's quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2022,

• Net sales were $15.8 million, up $1.9 million from $13.9 million. The increase was mainly due to higher demand for digital data products.

• Income from operations was $1.3 million, down $1.0 million from $2.3 million mainly due to the higher material costs. Income from operations was 8.2% of net sales, down from 16.5%.

Comparing the Medical segment's quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2022,

• Net sales were $1.2 million, down $0.4 million from $1.6 million due to lower demand.

• Loss from operations was $1.4 million, compared to a loss of $0.9 million.

Fiscal 2023
Methode's net sales were a record $1,179.6 million, which included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $57.3 million, compared to $1,163.6 million in fiscal 2022. Net sales included $20.9 million of spot buy and premium freight cost recovery, compared to $22.1 million in fiscal 2022. Excluding the foreign currency and cost recovery impacts, net sales were up 6.5% compared to fiscal 2022, primarily due to higher sales in the Industrial segment.

Net income was $77.1 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to $102.2 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, in fiscal 2022. The decrease was mainly due to higher selling and administrative expense, primarily due to acquisition costs, and inflationary pressures on material and other manufacturing costs, which were partially offset by lower tax expense and higher sales volumes. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $76.7 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, compared to $102.2 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, in fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 adjusted net income excluded an expense of $6.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for acquisition-related costs and a net benefit of $7.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for a discrete tax event related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $142.3 million, compared to $174.6 million in fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $151.7 million, compared to $174.6 million in fiscal 2022. The fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA excluded expenses of $6.8 million for acquisition-related costs and $2.6 million related to the reorganization of a foreign subsidiary.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $132.8 million for fiscal 2023, compared to $98.8 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $90.8 million, compared to $60.8 million in fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly due to lower working capital requirements, especially inventory, which was partially offset by higher purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Nordic Lights Group Corporation Acquisition Update
On February 28, 2023, Methode announced an offer to acquire Nordic Lights Group Corporation, a premium provider of high-quality lighting solutions for heavy-duty equipment that focuses on the mining, construction, forestry, agriculture and material handling end markets. They manufacture lights for three main applications: work lights, driving lights and signal lights.

As of May 11, 2023, a total of 99.4 percent of the share capital of Nordic Lights has been acquired by Methode for a consideration for such shares of EUR 131.0 million. The company intends to acquire the remaining outstanding shares by way of compulsory redemption proceedings under Finnish law and apply for its delisting from Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland, which is expected to be in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Nordic Lights is highly complementary to Methode’s existing LED lighting and industrial radio remote control businesses and advances its focus on engineered solutions for OEMs, on industrial and non-auto transportation markets, and on customer and geographic diversity. The results from this business will be included in the Industrial segment. Once the redemption proceedings are completed, the company expects to provide additional details.

Fiscal 2024 and 2025 Full Year Guidance
For fiscal 2024, the company expects net sales to be in the range of $1,150 to $1,200 million and diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $1.55 to $1.75. The lower earnings expectations are largely due to additional costs to support new program launches and the impact from program roll offs as well as market headwinds in the higher margin Industrial segment. Both ranges include the expected positive financial impact from the recent Nordic Lights Group Corporation acquisition.

For fiscal 2025, the company expects net sales to be in the range of $1,250 to $1,350 million and income from operations as a percentage of net sales to be in a range of 11% to 12%. The midpoint of the net sales guidance for fiscal 2025 represents approximately 11% organic sales growth from the midpoint of the fiscal 2024 net sales guidance.

The fiscal 2024 and 2025 guidance is unchanged from the preliminary guidance provided on June 12, 2023. The guidance does not include any new acquisition costs and is subject to change due to a variety of factors including supply chain disruptions, inflation, global economic instability, successful cost recovery actions, the successful launch of multiple new programs, the ultimate take rates on new EV programs, restructuring efforts, and potential impairments or divestitures.
