Second Quarter 2015 Sales Increased 12.5% to $97.2 Million

Company Raises Fiscal 2015 Guidance

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fox Factory Holding Corp. FOXF ("FOX" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Highlights

  • Sales increased 12.5% to $97.2 million compared to $86.4 million in the same period last fiscal year
  • Gross margin decreased 50 basis points to 30.7% compared to 31.2% in the same period last fiscal year
  • Net income was $6.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share in the same period last fiscal year
  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $9.8 million, or $0.26 adjusted earnings per diluted share, which is in line with the same period last fiscal year
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million compared to $16.6 million in the same period last fiscal year

"We are pleased with our second quarter revenue performance," stated Larry L. Enterline, FOX's Chief Executive Officer. "Our sales were driven by strong growth in bike products benefiting from both the inclusion of our acquisition and positive industry response to our model year 2016 products. Going forward, our team remains committed to product innovation, ongoing operational improvements, and leveraging the investments that we've made in our business to further increase sales and profitability."      

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $97.2 million, an increase of 12.5% as compared to sales of $86.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase reflects a 23.9% increase in sales of bike products, partially offset by a 3.0% decline in sales of powered vehicle products. The increase in bike product sales was primarily due to the inclusion of Race Face/Easton Cycling, as well as a return to growth in the Company's legacy FOX mountain bike products. The decrease in powered vehicles was largely due to the temporary production hiatus of the Ford Raptor program, partially offset by higher sales to other OEMs.

Gross margin was 30.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, a 50 basis point decrease from gross margin of 31.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in product and customer mix as well as supply chain and production inefficiencies associated with the logistics of accelerating the ramp up of bike rear shock production in Taiwan and the subsequent reconfiguration of the Company's Watsonville, California facility. Margins were also impacted by the Company making additional infrastructure investments in its El Cajon, California facility to increase the Company's production capacity to meet anticipated powered vehicle product demand, including the anticipated resumption of Ford Raptor shock production in late 2016. The Company remains confident with its long-term margin improvement goals. Although the Company experienced gross margin challenges in the first half of the year, it anticipates that gross margins will improve slightly in the back half of the year as compared to the last six months of fiscal 2014.

Total operating expenses were $19.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $15.2 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of Race Face/Easton Cycling's operating expenses within the Company's consolidated results. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased from 17.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to 19.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, primarily due to acquisition related compensation expense associated with Race Face/Easton Cycling, with no corresponding expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Operating income was $10.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to operating income of $11.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $6.8 million, compared to $11.6 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflect a one-time tax benefit, net of cost, of $3.7 million with no corresponding benefit in 2015. Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $0.18, compared to $0.31 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Operating income and net income were both negatively impacted in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 by the acquisition related compensation expenses, discussed above. Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $9.8 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.26 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were both unchanged as compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Reconciliations of net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share are provided at the end of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $17.3 million, compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was 17.8%, compared to 19.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Reconciliations of net income to adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of adjusted EBITDA margin are provided at the end of this press release.

First Six Months Fiscal Year 2015 Results

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were $165.0 million, an increase of 15.8% compared to the same period in 2014. Sales of powered vehicle and mountain bike products increased 14.7% and 16.7%, respectively, for the first six months of 2015 compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin was 29.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2015, a 140 basis point decrease, compared to gross margin of 30.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2014. The year-to-date gross margin was negatively impacted by the West Coast ports slowdown, which occurred earlier in the year.

Net income in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $7.5 million, compared to $14.5 million in the first six months of the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $0.20, compared to $0.38 in the same period of fiscal 2014. Net income in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was negatively impacted by the previously disclosed acquisition related compensation expenses as well as by the West Coast ports slowdown. Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $14.2 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.38 in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was unchanged as compared to the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Reconciliations of net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share are provided at the end of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.6% to $26.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2015, compared to $25.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was 16.2%, compared to 17.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2014. Reconciliations of net income to adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin are provided at the end of this press release.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million. Total debt was $68.6 million, compared to $50.0 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase in debt was due to financing of seasonal working capital needs and the initial Sport Truck earn-out payment. Inventory was $78.8 million as of June 30, 2015, compared to $59.2 million as of December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, accounts receivable and accounts payable were $51.7 million and $44.3 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 2014 balances of $39.2 million and $30.4 million, respectively. Contingent consideration liability decreased to $13.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $21.3 million at December 31, 2014 due to the initial Sport Truck earn-out payment. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher sales in the second quarter. The increase in inventory and corresponding increase in accounts payable was due to preparation for the third quarter which has historically been the Company's peak sales season.

Fiscal 2015 Guidance

For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company expects sales in the range of $103 million to $108 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.33 to $0.37.

For the fiscal year 2015, the Company has raised its outlook. The Company now expects sales in the range of $347 million to $363 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.91 to $1.00 based on approximately 38 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This compares to the Company's previous outlook of sales in the range of $333 million to $357 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.88 to $1.00.

Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude the following items net of applicable tax: amortization of purchased intangibles, certain acquisition related adjustments and expenses, contingent consideration valuation adjustment, and offering expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), FOX is including in this press release "non-GAAP adjusted net income", "non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share", "adjusted EBITDA", and "adjusted EBITDA margin", which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, contingent consideration valuation adjustments, costs of its secondary and shelf offerings, acquisition related expenses, and certain non-recurring items, net of applicable tax. These adjustments are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share is defined as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. FOX defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, net other expense, income taxes, amortization of purchased intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation, offering expense, contingent consideration valuation adjustments, and certain other acquisition related or non-recurring items that are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by sales.

FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they allow investors to understand and evaluate the Company's core operating performance and trends. In particular, the exclusion of certain items in calculating non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company's core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.
