Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights:
Full Year 2020 Financial Highlights:
PITTSBURGH -- Evoqua Water Technologies (NYSE:AQUA), an industry leader in mission-critical water treatment solutions, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $383.9 million compared to $412.5 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 6.9% or $28.6 million. The change in revenue was driven primarily by the net impact of acquisitions and the divestiture of the Memcor product line, which resulted in a net decrease in revenue of 5.8% or $24.0 million, in addition to a decline in organic revenue of 1.7% or $6.9 million. The revenue decline was partially offset by a favorable change in foreign currency translation of $2.3 million, an increase of 0.6% as compared to the prior year period. Net income for the quarter was $31.1 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.26 as compared to net income of $1.9 million and diluted EPS of $0.01 in the prior year period. The change in net income for the quarter as compared to the prior year period was predominately impacted by a favorable change in non-cash foreign currency translation of $13.5 million, lower tax expense of $6.7 million, and $5.4 million of lower interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $75.6 million as compared to $79.3 million in the prior year period. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the net impact in the period of the Memcor product line divestiture, partly offset by better margins and cost containment measures. Adjusted EPS was $0.29 for the quarter as compared to $0.17 in the prior year period, driven by lower tax and interest expense. See the “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
For fiscal 2020, revenue was $1.43 billion compared to $1.44 billion in the prior year, a decline of 1.0% or $14.9 million. The change in revenue was driven by the net impact of acquisitions and the divestiture of the Memcor product line, which resulted in a net decrease in revenue of 2.5% or $35.4 million, offset by an increase in organic revenue of 1.5% or $22.2 million. The revenue decline was also partially related to an overall unfavorable change in foreign currency translation of $1.7 million, a decrease of 0.1% as compared to the prior year. Net income for the year was $114.4 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.94 as compared to a net loss of $8.5 million and diluted EPS of $(0.08) in the prior year. The change in net income for the full year includes a net pre-tax benefit from the divestiture of the Memcor product line in the current year of $57.7 million, favorable change in non-cash foreign currency translation of $20.8 million, and a net decline in transaction costs, stock based compensation, restructuring and other charges of $27.2 million. For fiscal 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was $239.6 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $235.0 million in the prior year, an increase of $4.6 million or 2.0%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2020 as compared to the prior year was driven primarily by improved gross margins and operational efficiencies, including temporary cost controls, as the Company has navigated the economic uncertainties presented by COVID-19. These favorable impacts more than offset the decline in Adjusted EBITDA generated by the divestiture of the Memcor product line. Adjusted EPS for the year was $0.67 as compared to $0.41 in the prior year, driven by the factors discussed as well as lower tax and interest expense. Net debt leverage ratio improved year over year to 3.0x Adjusted EBITDA from 3.8x Adjusted EBITDA. This improvement was generated by strong cash generation from the Company’s core operations as well as cash generated from the divestiture of the Memcor product line.
“I am very pleased with the performance delivered in the fourth quarter and throughout an unprecedented year of 2020, as we maintained uninterrupted service to our customers and executed on our strategy while addressing the challenges presented by COVID-19. We prioritized our efforts on protecting the health and safety of our employees and maximizing customer facing operations while delivering year-over-year improvements across most key financial metrics. I am confident that the actions taken result in an Evoqua that is stronger, more nimble and more effective as we enter 2021,” said Mr. Ron Keating, Evoqua’s CEO.
Mr. Keating continued, “Our solid performance throughout the year reflects the resiliency of our business and the balanced strength from the diverse end markets that we serve. We were pleased to see organic orders grow double digits in the fourth quarter as a result of increasing demand for our outsourced water solutions that provide long term, steady and recurring revenues. Organic revenues were up 1.5% for the full year. Adjusting for the sale of Memcor, we reported increases in Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year versus the prior periods. Additionally, liquidity increased sequentially by $49.0 million to over $300 million and net leverage improved to 3.0 times Adjusted EBITDA. Continuing our strategy of accretive tuck-in acquisitions, I would like to welcome the employees of Aquapure Technologies to Evoqua, as we concluded this acquisition in September.”
Mr. Keating concluded, “Entering 2021, we remain highly vigilant and focused on employee health and safety, maintaining customer operational uptime and continued balance sheet flexibility. We are prepared to successfully navigate potential COVID-19 challenges as we deliver on our value proposition of providing mission critical water treatment and technologies across our diverse set of end markets. Given market uncertainties due to COVID-19, our base case for the upcoming year is flat to slight growth in sales and adjusted EBITDA as we factor in order conversion timing and the investment in outsourced water projects that will extend well beyond 2021. We expect to see our liquidity position continue to remain strong and net leverage to improve.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We use the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” in evaluating our past performance and future prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including restructuring and related business transformation costs, purchase accounting adjustment costs, non-cash share-based compensation, transaction costs and other gains, losses and expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and provides greater clarity and comparability period over period to management and our investors regarding the operational impact of long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance as follows:
In addition to the above, our chief operating decision maker uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable operating segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable operating segments do not include certain charges that are presented within corporate activities. These charges include certain restructuring and other business transformation charges that have been incurred to align and reposition the Company to the current reporting structure, acquisition related costs (including transaction costs, integration costs and recognition of backlog intangible assets recorded in purchase accounting) and share-based compensation charges.
You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude restructuring and related business transformation costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, and other (gains) losses and expenses as discussed in the “Adjusted EBITDA” section above, as well as extraordinary interest charges plus or minus the related changes in provision for income taxes.
We present Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because we believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry. Further, we believe they provide greater clarity and comparability period over period to management and our investors regarding ongoing operating performance and highlighting related operating trends.
The following is a reconciliation of our Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):

(a) Restructuring and related business transformation costs
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain restructuring or business transformation events. These events may occur over extended periods of time, and in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods based on reorganizations of the business, cost reduction or productivity improvement needs, or in response to economic conditions. For the periods presented such events include the following:
(i) Certain costs and expenses in connection with various restructuring initiatives, including severance costs, relocation costs, recruiting expenses, and third-party consultant costs to assist with these initiatives. This includes:
(A) amounts related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives to reduce the cost structure and rationalize location footprint following the sale of the Memcor product line;
(B) amounts related to the Company’s transition from a three-segment structure to a two-segment operating model designed to better serve the needs of customers worldwide; and
(C) amounts related to various other initiatives implemented to restructure and reorganize our business with the appropriate management team and cost structure.

(b) Share-based compensation
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering non-cash share-based compensation expenses related to equity awards. See Note 17, “Share-Based Compensation,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 for further detail.
(c) Transaction related costs
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering transaction, integration and restructuring costs associated with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred as a result of the transaction decision. Such costs may include, without limitation, consulting and legal costs associated with due diligence and closing a transaction, restructuring and integration costs such as severance, facility consolidation costs, product rationalization or inventory obsolescence charges, system integration or conversion costs, fair value changes associated with contingent consideration, and costs associated with any litigation matters that arise subsequent to our acquisition of a business for which the matter in question preceded the transaction, but was not known, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition. We believe that viewing earnings prior to considering these charges provides investors with useful additional perspective because the significant costs incurred in connection with business combinations result primarily from the need to eliminate duplicate assets, activities or employees - a natural result of acquiring or disposing a fully integrated set of activities. Integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years. This includes:

(d) Other (gains), losses and expenses
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain other significant (gains), losses and expenses. Such significant items represent substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of their nature and they may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Unusual items may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business, items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis, items that would be non-recurring, or items related to products we no longer sell. While not all-inclusive, examples of items that could be included as other (gains), losses and expenses would be amounts related to non-cash foreign currency exchange gains and losses on intercompany loans, significant warranty events, and certain disposals of businesses, products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations under GAAP. For the periods presented such events include the following:
Other adjustments include the following (gains), losses and expenses for the periods presented below:
