LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Valvoline Inc.
(NYSE: VVV), a leading provider of automotive services and premium
branded lubricants, today reported financial results for its third
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021.
All comparisons in this press release are made to the same
prior-year period; however, comparisons to 2019 have also been
included to normalize for the impacts of COVID-19.
"The strength of our team, brand and business model drove
exceptional results this quarter, with operating income growing 28%
and adjusted EBITDA growing 35% versus Q3 2019," said Sam Mitchell, CEO. "Our strategic transformation
to a service-driven business continues to accelerate our growth,
margins and earnings. In addition, secular growth of key industry
drivers, such as vehicles in operation, miles driven and age of
vehicles, continue to drive global demand for Valvoline's products
and preventive maintenance services."
The Retail Services segment delivered much of the year-over-year
growth this quarter with over 40% system-wide SSS growth and 10%
system-wide unit growth while profitability more than doubled.
Retail Services is forecasted to deliver 6 to 8% normalized SSS
growth and 5 to 7% unit growth annually across the system over the
Company's long-range plan through 2024.
Mitchell continued, "System-wide same-store sales increased 27%
versus Q3 2019. We continue to gain share and expand average
ticket, including ongoing growth in non-oil change revenue,
highlighting the broad array of preventive maintenance services
performed at our nearly 1,600 stores."
The Global Products segment delivered year-over-year sales
growth of 46%, exceeding volume growth of 37%, demonstrating the
pricing power of the business. Sales and volume grew 15% and 9%,
respectively, versus Q3 2019. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA
grew 16% and 17% year-over-year, respectively, and grew 6% and 3%
versus 2019. Slower growth in profitability reflects the near-term
impacts of rising raw material costs that the Company expects to
recover over time.
"We expect our Global Products segment to deliver $200 million of discretionary free cash flow this
fiscal year, highlighting the resilience of the business," said
Mitchell. "Global Products is a strong cash generator for Valvoline
with a strategic focus on driving market share growth globally by
leveraging our 150-year-old brand and technology."

$275 million; and free cash flow of
$190 million
Outlook
"Our transformation is accelerating," Mitchell added. "Our cash
generation is funding our continued shift to services, which we
believe leads to sustainable shareholder value creation. We have
invested nearly $330 million in
acquisitions and capex so far this fiscal year to drive store
growth, which we expect will generate strong returns. We are
tightening the guidance that we announced at our recent business
update call for adjusted EBITDA to $620
million to $640 million."
"Additionally, we expect to continue returning excess cash to
shareholders via dividends and share repurchases using our recently
announced $300 million share
repurchase authorization."

|
Valvoline's outlook for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and the
adjusted effective tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures that
are expected to be adjusted for items impacting comparability.
Valvoline is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures to GAAP net income and EPS estimated for fiscal
2021 without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is currently
unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type
and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP
net income and EPS in fiscal 2021 but would not impact non-GAAP
adjusted results.
Conference Call Webcast
Valvoline will host a live audio webcast of its fiscal third
quarter 2021 conference call at 9 a.m. ET on Thursday, August 5, 2021. The webcast and
supporting materials will be accessible through Valvoline's website
at http://investors.valvoline.com. Following the live event, an
archived version of the webcast and supporting materials will be
available.
Basis of Presentation
Valvoline realigned its global operations and related reporting
during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to manage its business
through two operating segments, Retail Services and Global
Products. Prior period amounts presented herein have been recast to
conform to the current presentation consistent with the realignment
of Valvoline's global operations. These changes have no impact on
the Company's historical consolidated GAAP balance sheets,
statements of income or cash flows.
In addition, the Company adopted the current expected credit
losses accounting standard, effective at the beginning of fiscal
2021 using the required modified retrospective approach. Under this
approach, financial information related to periods prior to
adoption were not adjusted and are presented as originally reported
under the previous accounting guidance. The effects of adopting the
new current expected credit losses standard were recognized as an
adjustment that increased opening retained deficit by approximately
$2 million. The Company expects the
ongoing impacts will not be material to the consolidated financial
statements.
Key Business Measures
Valvoline tracks its operating performance and manages its
business using certain key measures, including system-wide,
company-operated and franchised store counts and SSS; system-wide
store sales; and lubricant volumes sold. Management believes these
measures are useful to evaluating and understanding Valvoline's
operating performance and should be considered as supplements to,
not substitutes for, Valvoline's sales and operating income, as
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Sales in the Retail Services reportable segment are influenced
by the number of service center stores and the business performance
of those stores. Stores are considered open upon acquisition or
opening for business. Temporary store closings remain in the
respective store counts with only permanent store closures
reflected in the activity and end of period store counts. SSS is
defined as sales by U.S. Retail Services stores (company-operated,
franchised and the combination of these for system-wide SSS), with
new stores, including franchised conversions, excluded from the
metric until the completion of their first full fiscal year in
operation as this period is generally required for new store sales
levels to begin to normalize.
Retail Services sales are limited to sales at company-operated
stores, sales of lubricants and other products to independent
franchisees and Express Care operators and royalties and other fees
from franchised stores. Although Valvoline does not recognize
store-level sales from franchised stores as sales in its Statements
of Consolidated Income, management believes system-wide and
franchised SSS comparisons, store counts, and total system-wide
store sales are useful to assess market position relative to
competitors and overall store and segment operating
performance.
Management believes lubricant volumes sold in gallons by its
consolidated subsidiaries is a useful measure in evaluating and
understanding the operating performance of the Global Products
segment. Volumes sold in other units of measure, including liters,
are converted to gallons utilizing standard conversions.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, certain items within this press release are presented on
an adjusted basis. These non-GAAP measures, presented on both a
consolidated and operating segment basis, have limitations as
analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or
as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the financial
results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial
results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the
reconciliations of non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.
The non-GAAP information used by management may not be comparable
to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because of
differing methods used in calculating such measures.
This press release includes the following non-GAAP measures:
segment adjusted operating income, consolidated EBITDA,
consolidated and segment adjusted EBITDA, consolidated adjusted net
income and earnings per share, consolidated free cash flow, and
consolidated and segment discretionary free cash flow. Refer to
Tables 4-5 and 7-9 for management's definition of each non-GAAP
measure and reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP
measure.
Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures on a
consolidated and operating segment basis provides a useful
supplemental presentation of Valvoline's operating performance and
allows for transparency with respect to key metrics used by
management in operating the business and measuring performance.
Management believes EBITDA measures provide a meaningful
supplemental presentation of Valvoline's operating performance
between periods on a comparable basis due to the depreciable assets
associated with the nature of the Company's operations and interest
costs related to Valvoline's capital structure.
Adjusted profitability measures enable comparison of financial
trends and results between periods where certain items may vary
independent of business performance. These adjusted measures
exclude the impact of certain unusual, infrequent or
non-operational activity not directly attributable to the
underlying business, which management believes impacts the
comparability of operational results between periods ("key items").
Key items are often related to legacy matters or market-driven
events considered by management to not be reflective of the ongoing
operating performance. Key items may consist of adjustments related
to: legacy businesses, including the separation from Valvoline's
former parent company and associated impacts of related
indemnities; significant acquisitions or divestitures;
restructuring-related matters; tax reform legislation; debt
extinguishment and modification costs; and other matters that are
non-operational or unusual in nature, including the
following:
- Net pension and other postretirement plan expense/income -
includes several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and
obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and
equity markets, as well as those that are predominantly legacy in
nature and related to prior service to the Company from employees
(e.g., retirees, former employees and current employees with frozen
benefits). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected
return on plan assets, (iii) actuarial gains/losses, and (iv)
amortization of prior service cost/credit. Significant factors that
can contribute to changes in these elements include changes in
discount rates used to remeasure pension and other postretirement
obligations on an annual basis or upon a qualifying remeasurement,
differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets, and
other changes in actuarial assumptions, such as the life expectancy
of plan participants. Accordingly, management considers that these
elements may be more reflective of changes in current conditions in
global financial markets (in particular, interest rates), outside
the operational performance of the business, and are also primarily
legacy amounts that are not directly related to the underlying
business and do not have an immediate, corresponding impact on the
compensation and benefits provided to eligible employees for
current service. Adjusted profitability measures include the costs
of benefits provided to employees for current service, including
pension and other postretirement service costs.
- Changes in the last-in, first out (LIFO) inventory reserve -
charges or credits recognized in Cost of sales to value certain
lubricant inventories at the lower of cost or market using the LIFO
method. During inflationary or deflationary pricing environments,
the application of LIFO can result in variability of the cost of
sales recognized each period as the most recent costs are matched
against current sales, while preceding costs are retained in
inventories. LIFO adjustments are determined based on published
prices, which are difficult to predict and largely dependent on
future events. The application of LIFO can impact comparability and
enhance the lag period effects between changes in inventory costs
and related pricing adjustments.
Management uses free cash flow and discretionary free cash flow
as additional non-GAAP metrics of cash flow generation. By
including capital expenditures and certain other adjustments, as
applicable, management is able to provide an indication of the
ongoing cash being generated that is ultimately available for both
debt and equity holders as well as other investment opportunities.
Free cash flow includes the impact of capital expenditures,
providing a supplemental view of cash generation. Discretionary
free cash flow includes maintenance capital expenditures, which are
routine uses of cash that are necessary to maintain the Company's
operations and provides a supplemental view of cash flow generation
to maintain operations before discretionary investments in growth.
Free cash flow and discretionary free cash flow have certain
limitations, including that they do not reflect adjustments for
certain non-discretionary cash flows, such as mandatory debt
repayments. The amount of mandatory versus discretionary
expenditures can vary significantly between periods.

Measure includes
Valvoline franchisees, which are independent legal entities.
Valvoline does not consolidate the results of operations of its
franchisees.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Beginning in fiscal
2021, Valvoline determines SSS growth as sales by U.S. Retail
Services stores, with new stores, including franchised conversions,
excluded from the metric until the completion of their first full
fiscal year in operation. Previously, SSS growth was determined as
sales by U.S. Retail Services stores, with stores new to the U.S.
Retail Services system excluded from the metric until completion of
their first full year in operation. Prior period measures have been
revised to conform to the current basis of presentation.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Segment adjusted
operating income is segment operating income adjusted for key items
impacting comparability. Segment adjusted operating income is
further adjusted for depreciation and amortization to determine
segment adjusted EBITDA. Valvoline does not generally allocate
activity below operating income to its operating segments;
therefore, the table above reconciles operating income to
Adjusted EBITDA.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Adjusted EBITDA
margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment
sales.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Income tax expense
estimated using the adjusted effective tax rate for the period
multiplied by operating segment adjusted operating
income.
|
|
|
(f)
|
Segment discretionary
free cash flow is defined as operating segment adjusted operating
income after-tax less maintenance capital expenditures.
