Summary of Third Quarter 2024 Results:
The Company’s net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $918 million, up 1.9% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Organic revenue increased slightly year-on-year, with pricing adjustments reducing organic revenue by 2.6% and volume increasing organic revenue by 3.0%. Foreign currency translation reduced net revenue by 1.5% and acquisitions increased net revenue by 3.0%.
Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $276 million. Adjusted gross profit was $279 million. Adjusted gross profit margin of 30.4% increased 40 basis points year-on-year. Volume leverage, restructuring savings, and the benefit from acquisitions primarily drove the year-on-year increase in adjusted gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $171 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and adjusted SG&A was $164 million versus $159 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The impact of acquisitions and inflation in wages and services drove most of the year-on-year increase in adjusted SG&A.
Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $55 million, or $0.98 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $64 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.13 per diluted share, up 7% year-on-year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $165 million, up 6% year-on-year, driven principally by volume growth, restructuring savings, and benefits from recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points year-on-year to 18.0%.
H.B. Fuller President and CEO Celeste Mastin said, “In the third quarter, we continued to advance our strategy and expand EBITDA margins through volume growth, restructuring actions, and the acquisition of highly profitable, fast-growing businesses. At the same time, we continue to navigate a dynamic macroeconomic environment across our portfolio. Our volume growth during the quarter was impacted by slowing market demand in certain durable goods markets in EA, and we are adjusting our full year outlook accordingly. While this quarter’s volume growth was at the low end of our expectations, we have a clear and focused strategy and a highly engaged team that is well equipped to execute and drive business success. We remain on track to deliver upon our long-term EBITDA margin and organic growth targets.”
Balance Sheet and Working Capital:
Net debt at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $1,890 million, up $100 million year-on-year. The ratio of net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 3.1X, consistent with the second quarter.
Net working capital in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased $64 million year-on-year. As a percentage of annualized net revenue, net working capital decreased 200 basis points year-on-year to 16.1%.
Fiscal 2024 Outlook:
As a result of our year-to-date performance and current macroeconomic conditions, we are updating our previously communicated financial guidance for fiscal 2024 as follows:
- Net revenue growth is now expected to be up approximately 2% with organic revenue flat year-on-year;
- Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $610 million to $620 million, equating to year-on-year growth of between 5% and 7%;
