Donaldson maintains fiscal 2023 sales and
EPS outlook
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (Donaldson or the Company)
today reported fiscal third quarter 2023 net earnings of $93.7
million, a 13.0% increase from $83.0 million in 2022. Earnings per
share (EPS) for the third quarter 2023 increased to $0.76 from
$0.67 in the prior year.
“Our third quarter results continue this fiscal year’s trend of
Donaldson delivering double-digit earnings growth and margin
expansion.” said Tod Carpenter, chairman, president and chief
executive officer. “We met the needs of our customers by improving
our on-time delivery metrics, brought working capital towards more
normalized levels, and continued to invest in R&D and capacity
expansion.
“We expect fiscal 2023 to be another year of record earnings as
we build upon our long-term momentum showcased at our recent
Investor Day. Our focus remains on the execution of our strategic
initiatives and investments in profitable growth, including those
within Life Sciences, as we make progress towards achieving our
financial targets and creating value for customers and
shareholders.”
Operating Results
Third quarter 2023 sales increased 2.6% to $875.7 million from
$853.2 million in 2022, as pricing benefits more than offset a
negative impact from currency translation of 2.8%.

Third quarter 2023 sales in the Mobile Solutions segment
(Mobile) were approximately flat versus prior year and increased
2.7% on a constant currency basis driven primarily by pricing.
Off-Road and On-Road sales increased 10.7% and 5.3%, respectively,
supported by high levels of global equipment production.
Aftermarket sales decreased 3.3% as large OEM customers continued
to normalize inventories, reflecting improving global supply chain
conditions.
Third quarter Industrial Solutions segment (Industrial) sales
rose 13.8%, driven by robust broad-based demand and price
realization. Aerospace and Defense sales increased 22.3% due to
ongoing strength in the commercial aerospace industry. Industrial
Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales grew 12.5% from robust dust
collection and industrial gases part sales.
Third quarter sales in the Life Sciences segment decreased 12.6%
year over year. Softness in market demand for Disk Drive products
more than offset sales growth in Food and Beverage.
Third quarter 2023 gross margin was 33.0%, up 150 basis points
from 31.5% in 2022 as pricing benefits more than offset higher
input costs.
Third quarter 2023 operating expenses as a percentage of sales
were 18.8%, a 30 basis point increase versus 18.5% in the prior
year due to an uptick in post-COVID hiring and discretionary
expenses.
Third quarter 2023 operating income as a percentage of sales
(operating margin) of 14.2%, increased 120 basis points compared
with 13.0% in the prior year due to the improvement in gross
margin.
Third quarter 2023 interest expense was $5.1 million versus $3.8
million in the prior year resulting primarily from higher interest
rates. Other income, net was unfavorable by $1.5 million versus the
prior year from higher pension costs. The Company’s effective tax
rate of 22.9% was favorable versus 25.4% a year ago mainly driven
by an increase in discrete tax item benefits and export
incentives.
Year-to-date, Donaldson has paid $84.1 million in dividends and
repurchased 1.7% of its outstanding shares for $119.3 million.
Updated Fiscal 2023
Outlook
Fiscal 2023 full-year GAAP EPS is expected to be between $2.90
and $2.96, inclusive of $0.10 of first half restructuring and other
charges. Adjusted EPS is forecast between $3.00 and $3.06. Sales
are projected to increase between 3% and 5% over prior year, driven
by an approximate 8% increase in pricing and a negative impact from
currency translation of roughly 4%.
Fiscal 2023 Mobile sales are forecast to increase between 2% and
4% year over year as high levels of global equipment production are
expected to drive mid-single digit and high-single digit growth in
On-Road and Off-Road sales, respectively. Aftermarket sales are
projected to increase low-single digits.
Fiscal 2023 Industrial sales are expected to increase between
11% and 13% versus 2022. Robust end-market demand across the
segment is forecast to drive a year-over-year sales increase in IFS
and Aerospace and Defense of low-double digits and mid-teens,
respectively.
Fiscal 2023 Life Sciences sales are expected to decline between
10% and 12% compared with prior year due to continued Disk Drive
market weakness and bioprocessing equipment delivery timing.
Fiscal 2023 GAAP operating margin is forecast to be between
13.9% and 14.3% and adjusted operating margin is expected to be
between 14.4% and 14.8%. Prior year GAAP and adjusted operating
margin were 13.4% and 13.5%, respectively.
Fiscal 2023 interest expense is projected to be approximately
$20 million and other income is expected to be between $6 million
and $10 million. Donaldson expects a fiscal 2023 effective income
tax rate of approximately 24%.
Fiscal 2023 capital expenditures are expected to be between $115
million and $130 million and free cash flow conversion is forecast
between 105% and 115%. For the full year, Donaldson expects to
repurchase approximately 2% of its shares outstanding.

Note: The constant currency presentation,
which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing
constant currency information provides valuable supplemental
information regarding its results of operations. The Company
calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current
period local currency financial results using the prior period
exchange rates and compares these adjusted amounts to its prior
period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

Note: Although free cash flow, EBITDA,
adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense,
adjusted operating income, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net
earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial
performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in
understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly
used measure of a company’s ability to generate cash in excess of
its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating
earnings less non-cash expenses. The adjusted basis presentation
excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s
ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjusted basis
presentation reflects management’s performance in operating the
Company and provides a meaningful representation of the performance
of the Company’s core business and is useful to understanding its
financial results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is
that they do not reflect the Company’s actual results under GAAP.
Management does not intend these items to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Amounts
may not foot due to rounding
