Crane NXT reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EPS, free cash flow, and Adjusted free cash flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior, to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane NXT. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
“Special items” are items that are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. Special items consist of:
- Transaction related expenses including acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of acquisitions.
- Acquired intangible asset amortization.
- Acquisition related adjustments primarily reflect purchase accounting adjustments arising from acquisitions, including fair value step‑ups (such as the amortization of acquisition‑related inventory). These adjustments include the fair value remeasurement of the Company’s equity‑method investment in Antares Vision as of the acquisition date, as well as stock‑based compensation issued to Antares Vision senior management in connection with the acquisition, and debt extinguishment costs related to the early repayment of assumed debt.
- Restructuring and related costs are predominantly related to severance charges associated with the integration of the DLR and OpSec businesses, and the alignment of DTT’s cost structure with existing economic conditions. These costs include formal restructuring programs as well as other discrete actions. Certain costs included in this adjustment are not reported as restructuring charges in the GAAP results due to their immateriality.
Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted segment EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on Crane NXT’s future GAAP results. Crane NXT calculates Adjusted segment EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS as described below.
- “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” excludes net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense from net income, as well as special items. “Adjusted segment EBITDA margin” is calculated as Adjusted segment EBITDA divided by sales.
- “Adjusted EPS” is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding special items, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items.
The Company’s management believes that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:
- “Adjusted net income” and “Adjusted EPS” exclude special items, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items which are outside of the Company’s underlying business performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance.
- “Free cash flow,” “Adjusted free cash flow” and “Adjusted free cash flow conversion” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for certain cash items which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is calculated as Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
- “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA margin” exclude net interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and special items. “Adjusted operating profit (loss)” excludes special items described above that impact operating profit. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
- “Net leverage ratio” refers to Net debt divided by trailing twelve months (TTM) pro forma Adjusted EBITDA. “Net debt” represents total debt (excluding deferred financing costs), including acquired debt from Antares Vision acquisition, less cash and cash equivalents. The TTM Adjusted EBITDA includes the Antares Vision TTM Adjusted EBITDA for periods prior to the acquisition. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.
- References to “organic,” such as “organic sales”, “organic Adjusted EBITDA” exclude currency effects and, where applicable, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in identifying underlying growth trends in our business and facilitate comparison of our sales performance, for example, with prior and future periods that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
