SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
•Net Sales increased 10% year-over-year to $399.4 million, North America increased by 17%
•Net Income increased 25% year-over-year to $66.3 million
•Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% year-over-year to $127.6 million
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hayward Holdings, Inc. (“Hayward”) (NYSE: HAYW), a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool equipment and associated automation systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 of its fiscal year 2022.
CEO COMMENTS
“I am pleased to report another quarter of growth and improved operational results,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong execution and price realization drove improved gross margins, and our recent product introductions continue to drive good share gains. Overall in our core U.S. market, we see healthy demand driven by product upgrade trends in the aftermarket and resilient new construction activity. Additionally, we closed on the acquisition of a specialty lighting business which strengthens our portfolio of lighting solutions. However, during the quarter, we started to see the impact of the macro-economic environment, particularly in Europe, while seasonal markets in North America were impacted by the cool and wet spring weather. Given these trends and improving supply chain predictability, we expect our channel partners will reduce their Hayward inventory on hand by approximately 4 to 6 weeks in the second half of 2022. We are reducing our 2022 guidance to reflect this inventory reduction, and are taking the appropriate actions to manage our production and costs to maintain our industry leading margins. We and our Board are very confident in Hayward’s long term growth and free cash flow generation and as such are replenishing our share repurchase program to $450 million over 3 years.”
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales increased by 10% to $399.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Net sales continue to be driven by trends in aftermarket upgrades and consumer investments in outdoor living spaces. Net sales growth during the quarter was the result of favorable pricing and acquisitions, partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange impact. The decline in volume was primarily the result of 20% lower volume sales in Europe due to geopolitical factors, poor weather in seasonal markets in North America, and initial channel inventory reductions.
Gross profit increased by 13% to $189.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin increased 130 basis points to 47.4%. The increase in gross margin was due to the full impact of our pricing actions implemented over the last 18 months to offset inflation.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by 4% to $68.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in SG&A was a result of lower performance related incentive-based compensation and warranty expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 244 basis points to 17%, compared to the prior year period. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $5.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, or 1% of net sales, as compared to $5.0 million for the prior year period, or 1% of net sales.
Operating income increased by 27% to $102.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales.
Interest expense, net, decreased by approximately 11% to $11.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily as a result of lower interest rates as a result of the amendment to our credit facilities in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
During the quarter we incurred an income tax expense of $21.1 million with an effective tax rate of 24.1% compared to $12.6 million at an effective tax rate of 19.4% for the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the increase in income from operations in the current year.
Net income increased by 25% to $66.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 16% to $127.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 166 basis points to 32.0%.
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2022 SEGMENT RESULTS
North America
Net sales increased by 17% to $342.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven by improved pricing and acquisitions, which offset the lower volume in weather effected seasonal markets, namely the Midwest, Northeast and Canada, as well as a moderating of channel inventory.
Segment income increased by 24% to $110.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income increased by 24% to $122.5 million.
Europe & Rest of World
Net sales decreased by 19% to $57.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in volume and the unfavorable impact from foreign currency, as well as channel inventory reductions.
Segment income increased by 7% to $13.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income decreased by 27% to $13.0 million.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
As of July 2, 2022, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $109.0 million and approximately $130.1 million available for future borrowings under its ABL Facility. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022, of approximately $64 million was a decrease of approximately $60 million from the comparative period as a result of the increase in working capital.
OUTLOOK
Hayward is reducing its full fiscal year 2022 guidance to reflect its outlook for the expected channel inventory reduction in the second half of the year as well as continued impact of geopolitical events in Europe and unfavorable exchange rates. Hayward continues to see robust consumer demand for pool equipment products in the U.S., specifically, for our suite of SmartPadTM products into both new construction and the aftermarket. In addition, recent acquisitions and new products support Hayward's leading market position. Hayward is confident in its ability to successfully execute in an evolving environment in the near-term and remains positive about its long-term growth outlook.
For the full fiscal year 2022, Hayward's outlook for net sales is a decline of 2% to 6% year-over-year and for Adjusted EBITDA, is $385 million to $400 million. Despite the reduction in current year outlook, we are very proud that the midpoint of our revised guidance for fiscal year 2022 implies a three year aggregate growth of $613 million, or 84%, in net sales and $220 million, or 128%, in Adjusted EBITDA.
Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In the first half of 2022, Hayward repurchased approximately $293.1 million in common stock under its previously approved share repurchase program, leaving approximately $156.9 million remaining under the initial authorization. On July 26, 2022, Hayward's Board of Directors renewed the initial authorization of the existing repurchase program and authorized Hayward to repurchase up to an aggregate of $450 million of its common stock over the next three years. The repurchase program will continue to be funded by cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward’s management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “guidance,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward’s outlook, financial position; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; growth and expansion opportunities; operating results; and working capital and liquidity. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward’s forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.
Important factors that could affect Hayward’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward’s products to pool owners; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; impacts on Hayward’s business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic and business conditions; Hayward’s ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; Hayward’s ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; Hayward’s ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward’s current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates; Hayward’s ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; impacts on Hayward’s business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating foreign businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; Hayward’s ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements and tariffs, or address the impacts of climate change; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on Hayward’s business from the COVID-19 pandemic; and other factors set forth in “Risk Factors” in Hayward’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward’s expectations.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin and net debt. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), segment income or other measures of profitability or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliation for the forward-looking full year fiscal 2022 net sales and adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

(a)
Represents non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards issued to management, employees, and directors. Beginning in the three months ended July 2, 2022, the adjustment includes only expense related to awards issued under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which were awards granted prior to the effective date of Hayward’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), whereas in prior periods, the adjustment included stock-based compensation expense for all equity awards. Under the historical presentation, the stock-based compensation adjustment for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 would have been an expense of $1.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
(b)
Represents fees paid to certain of the Company’s controlling stockholders for services rendered pursuant to a 2017 management services agreement. This agreement and the corresponding payment obligation ceased on March 16, 2021, the effective date of the IPO.
(c)
Represents unrealized non-cash losses (gains) on foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities and foreign currency contracts.
(d)
Adjustments in the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 are primarily driven by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of the specialty lighting business of Halco Lighting Technologies, LLC and costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters. Adjustments in the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 are primarily driven by restructuring related costs associated with the exit of a redundant manufacturing and distribution facility.
(e)
Adjustments in the three months ended July 2, 2022 include expenses associated with the discontinuation of a product joint development agreement, costs incurred for follow-on equity offerings in May 2022, which are reported in SG&A in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, partially offset by gains resulting from an insurance policy reimbursement related to the fire incident in Yuncos, Spain. Adjustments in the three months ended July 3, 2021 include a write-off related to the aforementioned fire in Yuncos, Spain, costs related to our debt refinancing, and operating losses related to an early stage product business acquired in 2018 that was phased out.
Adjustments in the six months ended July 2, 2022 include expenses associated with the discontinuation of a product joint development agreement, follow-on equity offerings in May 2022, which are reported in SG&A in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, partially offset by gains resulting from an insurance policy reimbursement related to the fire incident in Yuncos, Spain. Also included in the six months ended are bad debt reserves for certain customers in Russia and Ukraine partially offset by collections of these previously reserved receivables. Adjustments in the six months ended July 3, 2021 include a write-off related to the aforementioned fire in Yuncos, Spain, expenses incurred in preparation for the IPO and transaction related bonuses, costs related to our debt refinancing, and operating losses related to an early stage product business acquired in 2018 that was phased out.
