PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services, and supply chain solutions, announces its results for the third quarter of 2021.
“We had another exceptional quarter and again delivered outstanding results across the board. Early in the second year of our transformational combination of WESCO and Anixter, the substantial value creation of the new WESCO is building,” said John Engel, Chairman, President and CEO. “Our sales growth accelerated versus 2019 pre-pandemic levels, and our margin performance and backlog achieved new records for the company. We are outperforming the market across our three business units by utilizing our increased scale, expanded portfolio and industry-leading positions. And, we are continuing to de-lever our balance sheet at a rapid rate while investing in our digital transformation. The impressive progress we’re making in the integration is a direct result of the dedication, commitment and relentless execution of the entire WESCO team. I want to thank all our associates for their strong teamwork on our transformation, supplier engagement and customer focus in providing the products, services and resilient supply chain solutions our customers need.”
Mr. Engel continued, “We are seeing sales and margin momentum in each of our three strategic business units. Based on our strong third quarter results, we are raising our full year 2021 outlook for sales, margin and profitability for the third time this year. We now expect sales to increase 11% to 13%, adjusted EBITDA margin to expand to between 6.4% and 6.5%, and adjusted EPS to grow to a range of $9.20 to $9.40. As a result of our expected sales growth and increasing inventories to support our customers, we are also adjusting our full year 2021 outlook for free cash flow to approximately 80% of net income.”
Mr. Engel added, “We are transforming into a growth company as a result of our digital investments, cross-selling our expanded portfolio of products and services, and providing resilient and sustainable supply chain solutions for our customers around the world. Continued execution of our aggressive integration plan, and capitalizing on the secular growth trends, will only accelerate this shift. The value creation potential of the new WESCO is building, and we are only in the early days.”
The following are results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The following are results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company completed the merger with Anixter on June 22, 2020, thereby impacting comparisons to the prior year.
Segment Results
The Company has operating segments that are organized around three strategic business units consisting of Electrical & Electronic Solutions ("EES"), Communications & Security Solutions ("CSS") and Utility & Broadband Solutions ("UBS").
Corporate expenses are incurred to obtain and coordinate financing, tax, information technology, legal and other related services. Segment results include depreciation expense or other allocations related to various corporate assets. Interest expense and other non-operating items are not allocated to the segments or reviewed on a segment basis. Corporate expenses are not directly identifiable with our reportable segments and are reported in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the consolidated financial statements.
The following are results by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the third quarter of 2021, operating profit and adjusted EBITDA margin improved for all segments (EES, CSS and UBS), reflecting sales growth, gross margin expansion due to strong execution of margin improvement initiatives and the realization of integration cost synergies, partially offset by higher salaries, variable compensation expense and benefit costs, as well as volume-related costs.
The following are results by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which primarily reflect the impact of the merger with Anixter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, operating profit and adjusted EBITDA margin improved for all segments and reflects sales growth and gross margin expansion, as well as the realization of integration cost synergies and structural cost takeout actions. Operating profit for the first nine months of 2021 was negatively impacted by higher volume-related costs, and SG&A payroll and payroll-related expenses consisting of salaries, variable compensation expense and benefit costs, including the impact of reinstating salaries and certain benefits of legacy WESCO employees that had been reduced or suspended in the prior year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Webcast and Teleconference Access
WESCO will conduct a webcast and teleconference to discuss the third quarter of 2021 earnings as described in this News Release on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. E.T. The call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed from the Investor Relations page of the Company's website at www.wesco.investorroom.com.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") above, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include organic sales growth, gross profit, adjusted gross profit, gross margin, adjusted gross margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, financial leverage, free cash flow, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc., adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, and adjusted earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they provide a better understanding of sales performance, and the use of debt and liquidity on a comparable basis. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures either focus on or exclude items impacting comparability of results such as merger-related costs, and the related income tax effect of such items, allowing investors to more easily compare the Company's financial performance from period to period. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.

(1) | EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the combination of WESCO and Anixter as if it had occurred at the beginning of the respective trailing twelve month period. |
(2) | Adjusted EBITDA includes the financial results of WESCO's legacy utility and data communications businesses in Canada, which were divested in the first quarter of 2021 under a Consent Agreement with the Competition Bureau of Canada. |
(3) | Debt is presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and includes adjustments to record the long-term debt assumed in the merger with Anixter at its acquisition date fair value. |
Note: Financial leverage measures the use of debt. Financial leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt, excluding debt discount, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, net of cash, by adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months EBITDA before foreign exchange and other non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation, costs and fair value adjustments associated with the merger with Anixter, an out-of-period adjustment related to inventory absorption accounting, and net gains on the divestiture of WESCO's legacy utility and data communications businesses in Canada and sale of an operating branch in the U.S. |

Note: Free cash flow is a measure of liquidity. Capital expenditures are deducted from operating cash flow to determine free cash flow. Free cash flow is available to fund investing and financing activities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid certain fees, expenses and other costs related to WESCO's merger with Anixter. Such expenditures have been added back to operating cash flow to determine free cash flow for such periods. |
