AAON, INC. (NASDAQ-AAON), a provider of premier, configurable HVAC
solutions that bring long-term value to customers and owners, today
announced its results for the third quarter of 2022.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2022
increased 75.1% to a record $242.6 million from $138.6 million in
the third quarter of 2021. Organic volume growth and product mix
contributed approximately 26.9% to year over year growth. Volume
growth reflected the Company's strong backlog and a third straight
quarter of record production. In addition to volume, pricing
contributed 24.4% of growth and the acquisition of BasX contributed
23.8% of growth. Similar to the legacy business, BasX performed
extremely well in the quarter. BasX realized record sales and
EBITDA, while increasing its backlog 33.8% compared to the end of
the second quarter of 2022.
Gross profit margin in the quarter increased to
27.0%, the highest level since the second quarter of 2021. Higher
pricing and improved productivity offset increased costs and the
adverse effects of supply chain issues. Similar to the trend
realized within the second quarter of 2022, gross profit margin
improved sequentially throughout the third quarter.
Earnings per diluted share in the third quarter
of 2022 increased 75.9% to a record $0.51 from $0.29 in the third
quarter of 2021. The increase in earnings was primarily due to
robust volume growth and improved gross profit margin. Furthermore,
as a percent of sales, SG&A expenses, excluding BasX, were down
80 basis points from a year ago to 10.7%, the lowest level of any
quarter in over two years.

The Company finished the third quarter of 2022
with a record backlog of $514.7 million, up 183.1% from $181.8
million a year ago, and up 10.9% from $464.0 million at the end of
the second quarter of 2022. Excluding BasX's backlog, organic
backlog was up 109.6% from the prior year quarter.
Gary Fields, President and CEO, stated, “Our
performance in the third quarter was excellent. I was particularly
pleased to see a material improvement in gross profit margin as a
result of our pricing strategy gaining traction.
Furthermore, despite supply chain issues persisting, productivity
improved throughout the quarter, a reflection of how well our
operations are performing. Better productivity, along with an
increase in headcount, helped us realize a third straight quarter
of record production. Meanwhile, we continue to grow our backlog.
Bookings in the quarter were solid. Total bookings increased 36.7%
compared to the second quarter of 2022, almost all of which was
driven by volume, with a small amount related to pricing.”
Mr. Fields continued, “BasX continues to build
momentum. In the third quarter, the business realized record
revenue and EBITDA. Backlog at BasX at the end of the quarter also
finished at a record level, up 33.8% from the end of the second
quarter. New bookings in the quarter were by far a record for the
business as it benefited from a strong pipeline of projects in the
data center and semiconductor markets. Revenue synergies related to
the acquisition are being realized and we are making progress
integrating BasX production into our Longview facility. We are also
starting to recognize cost synergies, which should accelerate over
the next 12 months. Overall, we continue to be excited about the
growth opportunities that BasX is bringing to AAON."
Mr. Fields continued, "In the third quarter, we
made the decision to terminate our WH and WV series portion of the
water-source heat pump business. After careful analysis, we
determined this type of product does not allow us to meet our
profit margin targets. Additionally, upcoming new refrigerant
regulations would require a capital infusion that we determined
would not be the best use of capital. This product line generated
approximately $10.0 million of revenue in 2021 and was on track for
a similar level in 2022. We plan to accept orders through the rest
of 2022, at which time we will stop accepting new orders and will
work on building the rest of the WH/WV backlog before repurposing
personnel and equipment."
Mr. Fields concluded, “As we approach the end of
the year, we remain positive on the business. Production rates and
productivity levels continue to increase, the margin profile of the
backlog is the best that it has been all year, which suggests gross
margin will continue to improve, and order trends remain positive.
We are confident that we will finish the year on a high note in the
fourth quarter.”
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $10.7 million and total debt of $76.3
million. Rebecca Thompson, CFO, commented, “In the third quarter,
we generated $43.4 million of cash flows from operations, the
strongest quarter in at least five years. Within the quarter, we
paid down $30.0 million on our line of credit. Our balance sheet
remains strong. At the end of the third quarter, our leverage ratio
decreased to 0.65, from 1.06 at the end of the second quarter. In
the fourth quarter, we anticipate another solid quarter of cash
flows from operations, allowing us to continue to reduce our
borrowings under the line of credit while making necessary capital
investments for long-term growth.”

tables. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial
measures, provide information that is useful to investors in
understanding period-over-period operating results. The Company
believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability
of investors to analyze the Company’s business trends and operating
performance as they are used by management to better understand
operating performance. Since EBITDA and EBITDA margin are non-GAAP
measures and are susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA and
EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable with
other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
EBITDA
EBITDA (as defined below) is presented herein
and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its
wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial
indicator of a company's ability to internally fund operations. The
Company defines EBITDA as net income, plus (1) depreciation and
amortization, (2) interest expense (income), net and (3) income tax
expense. EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as
determined by GAAP. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a
percentage of net sales.
The Company’s EBITDA measure provides additional
information which may be used to better understand the Company’s
operations. EBITDA is one of several metrics that the Company uses
as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its
business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more
meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of operating
performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant
components in understanding and assessing a company's financial
performance. EBITDA, as used by the Company, may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The
Company believes that EBITDA is a widely followed measure of
operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the
Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides a reconciliation of
net income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) and for the periods
