Methode Electronics, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results

Solid Net Sales
Positive Pre-tax Income
Over $50 Million in Program Awards
Guidance Raised for Fiscal 2025 Adjusted Pre-tax Income
Guidance Reaffirmed for Fiscal 2026

Chicago, IL – December 5, 2024 – Methode Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: MEI), a leading global supplier of custom-engineered solutions for user interface, lighting and power distribution applications, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 ended November 2, 2024.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

Net sales were $292.6 million
Electric and hybrid vehicle applications were 20% of net sales
Pre-tax income was $1.6 million; Adjusted pre-tax income was $6.2 million
Tax expense of $3.2 million primarily due to an increase in valuation allowance for U.S deferred tax assets
Net loss was $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share
Adjusted net income was $5.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share
Company was in full compliance with all debt covenants

Management Comments

President and Chief Executive Officer Jon DeGaynor said, “The team is energized, and these results demonstrate that we are heading in the right direction. Our sales in the quarter were the highest that we have reported since fiscal 2023, and our pre-tax income returned to positive territory. Our bookings remained solid, and our EV sales activity is steadily growing.”

Mr. DeGaynor added, “We continue to navigate the challenging transition from a portfolio that is primarily user interface products to one that is more balanced with the growth of power and lighting solutions, which is driving our 50 plus new program launches. In addition, our key markets of automotive and commercial vehicles continue to experience well-known headwinds. Despite these challenges and this environment, we are maintaining our previous sales guidance and raising our adjusted pre-tax income guidance for fiscal 2025.”

Mr. DeGaynor concluded, “This guidance is based on the current forecasts from our customers and other third-party sources, both of which have seen recent volatility. Our immediate focus remains on executing program launches and taking decisive actions to control costs; while continuing to build the executive team such as we did with the recent appointment of the Senior Vice President of our Global Automotive Business.”

Consolidated Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

The Company’s typical fiscal year is 52 weeks but occasionally requires an additional week in order for the fiscal year to end on the Saturday closest to April 30. The current fiscal year ending May 3, 2025, is a 53-week fiscal year with the additional week being included in this fiscal quarter making it a 14-week period. In the prior fiscal year, the second quarter was a 13-week period.

1

 



 

Methode's net sales were $292.6 million, compared to $288.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was mainly driven by higher volume for power distribution products for data centers, partially offset by automotive weakness in Asia. Excluding foreign currency translation, net sales were up $0.3 million compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2024.

Income from operations was $9.4 million, compared to a loss of $51.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was mainly due to a $56.5 million goodwill impairment charge recognized in the prior year. There was no goodwill impairment in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Also driving the increase were lower freight costs compared to the prior year. Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $14.3 million, up from $6.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The adjusted income from operations excluded expenses of $4.8 million for transformation costs and $0.1 million in restructuring costs.

Net loss was $1.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $55.3 million or $1.55 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The smaller net loss was mainly driven by the prior year goodwill impairment. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $5.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The adjusted net income excluded expenses of $3.7 million for transformation costs, $3.2 million for valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, $0.1 million in restructuring costs and a gain of $0.2 million on sale of non-core assets.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of Intangibles), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $22.1 million, compared to a negative $36.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $26.7 million, compared to $21.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The adjusted EBITDA excluded expenses of $4.8 million for transformation costs, $0.1 million for restructuring costs and a gain of $0.3 million on sale of non-core assets.

Debt was $340.6 million at the end of the quarter, compared to $330.9 million at the end of fiscal 2024. Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $243.6 million, compared to $169.4 million at the end of fiscal 2024. The company was in full compliance with all debt covenants at the end of the quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was a negative $48.0 million for the quarter, compared to a negative $0.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The primary driver of the lower net cash in the quarter was lower accounts payable due to the timing of payments between the first and second quarter as well as the 14-week period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment, was a negative $58.4 million, compared to a negative $11.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024.

Segment Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Comparing the Automotive segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,

Net sales were $145.5 million, down from $154.3 million. Net sales decreased by $8.8 million or 5.7% primarily due to lower volume in Asia mainly related to a previously disclosed EV lighting program roll-off. The lower sales were partially offset by higher volume in Europe driven by program launches. Sales in North America were flat as new program launches were offset by legacy program roll-offs. Partially offsetting the net sales decrease was favorable foreign currency translation of $2.1 million.
Income from operations was $0.7 million, or 0.5% of net sales, compared to a loss of $61.5 million or 39.9% of net sales in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to a $56.5 million goodwill impairment charge in the prior year. There was no goodwill impairment in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was also driven by lower premium freight and lower selling and administrative expense.

Comparing the Industrial segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,

Net sales were $131.4 million, up from $120.4 million. Net sales increased by $11.0 million or 9.1% driven primarily by higher demand for power distribution products for data centers, which was partially offset by lower demand for lighting products in the commercial vehicle and off-road equipment markets. Also contributing to the net sales increase was favorable foreign currency translation of $2.2 million.
Income from operations was $24.3 million, down from $25.7 million. Income from operations was 18.5% of net sales, down from 21.3% primarily due to lower gross margin driven primarily by product sales mix and higher selling and administrative expense.

Comparing the Interface segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,

Net sales were $15.7 million, up from $11.7 million. The increase was mainly due to higher volume of transceivers for servers and touch panels for appliances.
Income from operations was $4.7 million, up from $1.0 million. Income from operations was 29.9% of net sales, up from 8.5%. Both increases were mainly due to the higher sales volume and an inventory reserve reduction.

Guidance

For fiscal 2025, the company reaffirmed its expectation for net sales to be similar to fiscal 2024 but raised its adjusted pre-tax income expectation from approaching breakeven to approximately breakeven. The company expects net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 to be similar to the prior year. For adjusted pre-tax income, the company expects the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to be significantly stronger than the third quarter of fiscal 2025, with the third quarter potentially having a pre-tax loss. For fiscal 2026, the company reaffirmed its expectation for net sales to be greater than fiscal 2025 and pre-tax income to be positive and notably greater than fiscal 2025.

 

The guidance is subject to change due to a variety of factors including the successful launch of multiple new programs, the ultimate take rates on new EV programs, success and timing of cost recovery actions, inflation, global economic instability, supply chain disruptions, transformation and restructuring efforts, potential impairments, any acquisitions or divestitures, and legal matters.

Conference Call

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the company's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Methode uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss), Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. Methode's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view Methode's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate its past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) are commonly used by other companies in our industry and provide a comparison for investors to the company’s performance versus its competitors and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating Methode.
