CORK, Ireland, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI), a global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, today reported fiscal second quarter 2022 GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations, including special items, of $0.02. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.63, up 21% versus the prior year period (see attached footnotes for non-GAAP reconciliation).

Sales of $6.1 billion increased 9% compared to the prior year on an as reported basis and grew 9% organically. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $11 million. Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $441 million increased 18% versus the prior year. Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) was $161 million and EBIT margin was 2.6%. Adjusted EBIT was $608 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 10.0%, up 40 basis points versus the prior year.

“Demand for innovative solutions that address urgent needs for sustainability, energy efficiency, and higher indoor environmental quality continues to accelerate,” said George Oliver, chairman and chief executive officer. “We delivered another quarter of strong order, revenue and profit growth in Q2. We are, however, experiencing more near-term supply chain disruptions than expected, which have negatively impacted the pace and mix of our backlog conversion.”

“The underlying fundamentals of our business remain strong, and I am confident in our ability to navigate the temporary headwinds impacting our profitability. We continue to make progress toward enabling our strategic vision to digitally transform the buildings industry, leveraging our OpenBlue digital platform to capitalize on the attractive global trends over the next decade.” Oliver continued.

“I remain encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across our portfolio, and believe we are positioned to deliver attractive order, backlog, revenue, and EPS growth this year and beyond,” said Olivier Leonetti, chief financial officer. “Near term uncertainties related to the lockdown in China and geopolitical instability, coupled with the impact of ongoing supply chain disruptions, warrant a more cautious outlook and a revision to our second half expectations. Looking ahead, the strength of our backlog and the improving margin profile, together with our cost savings programs, positions us to deliver on the financial targets we set for the medium term.”

Sales in the quarter of $2.2 billion increased 6% versus the prior year. Organic sales increased 6% over the prior year, led by high-single digit growth in Service and strong growth in our HVAC & Controls platform.         

Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 13% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $6.9 billion increased 14% compared to the prior year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.

Adjusted segment EBITA was $235 million, down 12% versus the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 10.6% declined 210 basis points versus the prior year as the benefit of volume leverage and the SG&A/COGS actions were more than offset by continued investment spending and lower absorption related to supply chain challenges and reduced labor productivity.

Johnson Controls International plc has made statements in this communication that are forward-looking and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this communication, statements regarding Johnson Controls’ future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, synergies and integration opportunities, capital expenditures, debt levels and market outlook are forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include restructuring and impairment costs, net mark-to-market adjustments, Silent-Aire transaction costs and other nonrecurring items, Silent-Aire earn-out adjustment, charges associated with the suspension of operations in Russia, Power Solutions divestiture reserve adjustment and discrete tax items.

(1) The Company’s press release contains financial information regarding adjusted net sales, segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company’s definition of adjusted net sales and adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its businesses. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company. 

A reconciliation of segment EBITA to income from continuing operations is shown earlier within this footnote. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no items excluded from the calculation of adjusted net sales. The following is the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 reconciliation of segment EBITA and segment EBITA margin as reported to adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margin (unaudited):

(2) Adjusted amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes $6 million of nonrecurring intangible asset amortization related to Silent-Aire purchase accounting. Adjusted amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended March 31, 2022 excludes $13 million of nonrecurring intangible asset amortization related to Silent-Aire purchase accounting.

(3) The three months ended March 31, 2022 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $89 million. The six months ended March 31, 2022 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $32 million. The three months ended March 31, 2021 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $209 million. The six months ended March 31, 2021 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $230 million.

(4) Restructuring and impairment costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $384 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. Restructuring and impairment costs for the six months ended March 31, 2022 of $433 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. The restructuring actions and impairment costs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 are related primarily to the impairment of assets associated with a business classified as held for sale, workforce reductions and other asset impairments. Restructuring and impairment costs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 of $96 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. The restructuring actions and impairment costs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, are related primarily to workforce reductions and asset impairments.

(5) Management defines earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as income (loss) from continuing operations before net financing charges, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. EBIT is a non-GAAP performance measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company. A reconciliation of EBIT to income from continuing operations is shown earlier within this footnote.

(6) Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes tax benefits related to net mark-to-market adjustments of $21 million, restructuring and impairment costs of $7 million, Silent-Aire nonrecurring intangible asset amortization of $1 million and charges related to the suspension of operations in Russia of $1 million, partially offset by tax provisions related to APB23 adjustments attributable to a business classified as held for sale of $13 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2022 excludes tax benefits related to restructuring and impairment costs of $14 million, net mark-to-market adjustments of $7 million, Silent-Aire nonrecurring intangible asset amortization of $3 million and charges related to the suspension of operations in Russia of $1 million, partially offset by tax provisions related to APB23 adjustments attributable to a business classified as held for sale of $13 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 excludes tax provisions related to a Mexico valuation allowance adjustment of $105 million and net mark-to-market adjustments of $53 million, partially offset by tax benefits related to restructuring and impairment costs of $15 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2021 excludes tax provisions related to a Mexico valuation allowance adjustment of $105 million and net mark-to-market adjustments of $58 million, partially offset by tax benefits related to restructuring and impairment costs of $15 million.

(7) Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests for the six months ended March 31, 2022 excludes $5 million impact from restructuring and impairment costs.

 

 2.  Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

The Company’s press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include net mark-to-market adjustments, restructuring and impairment costs, Silent-Aire transaction costs and other nonrecurring costs, Silent-Aire earn-out adjustment, charges related to the suspension of operations in Russia, Power Solutions divestiture reserve adjustment, and discrete tax items. The Company excludes these items because they are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding adjusted corporate expense, adjusted EPS, organic revenue, adjusted EBITA margin and free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses, or income from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period, including but not limited to the high variability of the net mark-to-market adjustments and the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Our fiscal 2022 full year and third quarter guidance for organic revenue also excludes the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s third quarter and full year 2022 GAAP financial results.

 4. Free Cash Flow Conversion

The Company’s press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net income attributable to JCI. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. These non-GAAP measures can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

The following is the three months and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 reconciliation of free cash flow and free cash flow conversion for continuing operations (unaudited):

 5.  Net Debt to EBITDA

The Company provides financial information regarding net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The Company believes the total net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is useful to understanding the Company’s financial condition as it provides a review of the extent to which the Company relies on external debt financing for its funding and is a measure of risk to its shareholders. The following is the March 31, 2022 calculation of net debt to adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):

(1) The Company’s definition of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its businesses. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.  

 

 6.  Trade Working Capital as a Percentage of Net Sales

The Company provides financial information regarding trade working capital as a percentage of net sales, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Trade working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash, short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt, the current portion of assets and liabilities held for sale, accrued compensation and benefits, and other current assets and liabilities.  Management believes this non-GAAP measure, which excludes financing-related items, non-trade related items and businesses to be divested, is a more useful measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The following is the March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 calculation of trade working capital as a percentage of net sales (unaudited):

 7.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations before consideration of net mark-to-market adjustments, restructuring and impairment costs, Silent-Aire nonrecurring intangible asset amortization, charges related to the suspension of operations in Russia and discrete tax items for the three and six months ending March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is approximately 13.5%.

 

 8.  Restructuring and Impairment Costs

The three months ended March 31, 2022 include restructuring and impairment costs of $384 million related primarily to the impairment of assets associated with a business classified as held for sale, workforce reductions and other asset impairments. The six months ended March 31, 2022 include restructuring and impairment costs of $433 million related primarily to the impairment of assets associated with a business classified as held for sale, workforce reductions and other asset impairments.
