Q3 2024 Enviri Corp Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Clean Earth achieved another record quarter in terms of EBITDA and EBITDA margin, with adjusted EBITDA increasing over 20% compared to Q3 of last year.
- The company successfully strengthened its balance sheet through asset sales and the renewal and extension of its revolver and other short-term credit facilities.
- Enviri Corp's sizable pension fund in the UK is now fully funded, reaching this milestone about a year earlier than expected.
- The company exceeded its goal of generating $50 million to $75 million of proceeds from asset sales, primarily from non-core businesses.
- Enviri Corp expects to yield EBITDA in excess of $400 million in 2027 with free cash flow of more than $150 million and net leverage of 2.5 times, providing greater strategic flexibility and optionality for value creation.
- Harsco Environmental faced headwinds due to a weakening steel industry, with excess capacity and weaker demand in China impacting customers in less protected markets.
- Harsco Rail continues to face operational challenges, including late deliveries from key vendors, global shipping disruptions, and bottlenecks in manufacturing processes.
- Hurricane Helene affected production and shipments at the end of the quarter from the primary manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina.
- The company's free cash flow for the quarter was a deficit of $34 million, primarily due to the timing of working capital and capital spending.
- Enviri Corp's full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance was lowered, reflecting tempered expectations for Harsco Environmental and Rail, partially offset by a raised outlook for Clean Earth.
