PITTSBURGH, Oct. 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wesco International
(NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business
distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions,
announces its results for the third quarter of 2024.
"We had a strong close to our third quarter, with sales slightly
up compared to the second quarter driven by accelerating momentum
in our Communications and Security Solutions segment, including
double-digit sales growth in our global data center business. The
continued weakness in Utility and Broadband Solutions offset what
would have been a return to organic growth in the quarter. Adjusted
EBITDA margin was flat compared to the second quarter and better
than the expectations reviewed during our Investor Day last month,
primarily driven by a sequential increase in gross margin," said
John Engel, Chairman, President and
CEO.
Mr. Engel added, "I am pleased with our free cash flow
generation of $280 million in the
third quarter and $777 million
year-to-date, or 154% of adjusted net income. We have placed a
particular focus on working capital management and are beginning to
see the benefits, particularly in our Communications & Security
Solutions business. Financial leverage was stable at 2.9X trailing
twelve-month adjusted EBITDA as we reduced our net debt
$188 million and repurchased
$25 million of shares in the third
quarter. Our pipeline of strategic acquisitions remains strong and
is aligned with our goal to increase service offerings to our
customers."
Mr. Engel concluded, "Quoting, bid activity levels, and backlog
remain healthy across our Wesco enterprise. We are reaffirming our
2024 full-year outlook for sales, profitability and free cash flow.
While end markets remain mixed, in the fourth quarter we expect to
continue to benefit from double-digit growth in the data center
space as well as some large projects in our electrical and
industrial end markets. As we look ahead, I like Wesco's leadership
position and exposure to the long-term trends we have consistently
described in detail. While the macro-economic environment will
inevitably present challenges, I believe Wesco will continue to
outperform our competitors under all market conditions. Our
commitment to value creation from operational improvements, digital
transformation and our capital allocation strategy, including
focused M&A, is clear and resolute as outlined during our
recent Investor Day. The Wesco team will continue to strive to
execute on those plans to deliver outsized returns for our
shareholders."
The following are results for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2023:
- Net sales were $5.5 billion for
the third quarter of 2024 compared to $5.6
billion for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 2.7%.
On an organic basis, which removes the impact of the Wesco
Integrated Supply ("WIS") divestiture, differences in foreign
exchange rates, and the impact from the number of workdays, sales
for the third quarter of 2024 declined by 0.6%. The decrease in
organic sales reflects volume declines in the EES and UBS segments,
partially offset by a volume increase in the CSS segment, and price
inflation in the EES and UBS segments. Sequentially, net sales
increased 0.2% and organic sales grew by 0.1% as fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates positively impacted reported net sales by
0.1%.
- Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2024 was
$4.3 billion compared to $4.4 billion for the third quarter of 2023, and
gross profit was $1.2 billion for the
third quarter of 2024 and 2023. As a percentage of net sales, gross
profit was 22.1% and 21.6% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net
sales for the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects the impact
of the divestiture of the WIS business. Sequentially, gross profit
as a percentage of net sales increased 20 basis points from 21.9%
in the second quarter of 2024.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$831.1 million, or 15.1% of net
sales, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $796.4 million, or 14.1% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 2023. SG&A expenses for the third quarter of
2024 include $5.4 million of digital
transformation costs and $0.5 million
of restructuring costs. SG&A expenses for the third quarter of
2023 include $12.9 million of digital
transformation costs, $5.6 million of
restructuring costs, and $2.1 million
of merger-related and integration costs. Adjusted for these costs,
SG&A expenses were $825.2
million, or 15.0% of net sales, for the third quarter of
2024 and $775.8 million, or 13.7% of
net sales, for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted SG&A
expenses for the third quarter of 2024 reflect higher payroll and
payroll-related expenses, costs to operate our facilities and
transportation costs, partially offset by the impact of the
divestiture of the WIS business.
- Depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2024 was
$46.0 million compared to
$45.1 million for the third quarter
of 2023, an increase of $0.9
million.
- Operating profit was $335.6
million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to
$380.5 million for the third quarter
of 2023, a decrease of $44.9 million,
or 11.8%. Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.1%
for the current quarter compared to 6.7% for the third quarter of
the prior year. Adjusted for digital transformation costs and
restructuring costs, operating profit was $341.5 million, or 6.2% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 2024. Adjusted for digital transformation costs,
restructuring costs, merger-related and integration costs, and
accelerated trademark amortization expense, operating profit was
$401.5 million, or 7.1% of net sales,
for the third quarter of 2023.
- Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was
$86.5 million compared to
$98.5 million for the third quarter
of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower borrowings
and a decrease in variable interest rates.
- Other non-operating income for the third quarter of 2024 was
$24.9 million compared to expense of
$3.7 million for the third quarter of
2023. During the third quarter, we finalized the divestiture of our
WIS business, and recognized an additional gain from the sale of
$19.3 million. We also recognized
income of $2.2 million as a result of
the finalization of the liabilities transferred related to the
settlement of the Anixter Inc. Pension Plan. Adjusted for the gain
on the divestiture of our WIS business as well as the reduction to
pension settlement costs, other non-operating income was
$3.4 million for the third quarter of
2024.
- The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 25.3%
compared to 15.9% for the third quarter of 2023. The higher
effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 is due to lower
discrete income tax benefits resulting from the exercise and
vesting of stock-based awards as compared to the prior year. The
corresponding quarter of the prior year also reflected discrete
income tax benefits relating to the reversal of certain valuation
allowances and return-to-provision adjustments.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $189.9 million for the third quarter of 2024
compared to $219.0 million for the
third quarter of 2023. Adjusted for digital transformation costs,
restructuring costs, the gain recognized on the divestiture of our
WIS business, the reduction to pension settlement cost, and the
related income tax effects, net income attributable to common
stockholders was $178.1 million for
the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted for digital transformation
costs, restructuring costs, merger-related and integration costs,
accelerated trademark amortization expense, and the related income
tax effects, net income attributable to common stockholders was
$234.4 million for the third quarter
of 2023.
- Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024 was
$3.81, based on 49.8 million diluted
shares, compared to $4.20 for the
third quarter of 2023, based on 52.2 million diluted shares.
Adjusted for digital transformation costs, restructuring costs, the
gain recognized on the divestiture of our WIS business, the
reduction to pension settlement cost, and the related income tax
effects, earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024
was $3.58. Adjusted for digital
transformation costs, restructuring costs, merger-related and
integration costs, accelerated trademark amortization expense, and
the related income tax effects, earnings per diluted share for the
third quarter of 2023 was $4.49.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share decreased 20.3%
year-over-year.
- Operating cash flow for the third quarter of 2024 was an inflow
of $302.1 million compared to
$361.7 million for the third quarter
of 2023. Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2024 was
$279.5 million, or 144.9% of adjusted
net income. The net cash inflow in the third quarter of 2024 was
primarily driven by net income of $204.7
million, as well as an improvement in net working capital.
Fluctuations in accounts payable resulted in a cash inflow of
$136.1 million for the third quarter
of 2024, primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers as
well as inventory purchases. A decrease in trade accounts
receivable of $40.9 million primarily
due to the timing of receipts from customers also contributed to
the cash inflow. An increase in inventories resulted in a use of
cash of $103.9 million.
The following are results for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2023:
- Net sales were $16.3 billion for
the first nine months of 2024 compared to $16.9 billion for the first nine months of 2023,
a decrease of 3.5%. On an organic basis, which removes the impact
of the WIS divestiture, differences in foreign exchange rates, and
the impact from the number of workdays, sales for the first nine
months of 2024 declined by 1.5%. The decrease in organic sales
reflects volume declines in the EES and UBS segments, partially
offset by a volume increase in the CSS segment, and price inflation
in the EES and UBS segments.
- Cost of goods sold for the first nine months of 2024 was
$12.8 billion compared to
$13.2 billion for the first nine
months of 2023, and gross profit was $3.5
billion and $3.7 billion,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 21.7%
for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023.
- SG&A expenses were $2,488.9
million, or 15.3% of net sales, for the first nine months of
2024, compared to $2,445.8 million,
or 14.5% of net sales, for the first nine months of 2023. SG&A
expenses for the first nine months of 2024 include a $17.8 million loss on abandonment of assets,
$17.5 million of digital
transformation costs, $9.5 million of
restructuring costs, and $4.8 million
of excise taxes on excess pension plan assets. SG&A expenses
for the first nine months of 2023 include $28.5 million of digital transformation costs,
$16.9 million of merger-related and
integration costs, and $15.4 million
of restructuring costs. Adjusted for the loss on abandonment of
assets, digital transformation costs, restructuring costs, and
excise taxes on excess pension plan assets, SG&A expenses were
$2,439.3 million, or 14.9% of net
sales, for the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted for digital
transformation costs, merger-related and integration costs, and
restructuring costs, SG&A expenses were $2,385.0 million, or 14.1% of net sales for the
first nine months of 2023. The increase in adjusted SG&A
expenses for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first
nine months of 2023 reflects higher costs to operate our
facilities, an increase in IT costs, and an increase in payroll and
payroll-related costs.
- Depreciation and amortization for the first nine months of 2024
was $137.6 million compared to
$136.4 million for the first nine
months of 2023, an increase of $1.2
million.
- Operating profit was $922.1
million for the first nine months of 2024 compared to
$1,090.7 million for the first nine
months of 2023, a decrease of $168.6
million, or 15.5%. Operating profit as a percentage of net
sales was 5.7% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to 6.4%
for the first nine months of 2023. Adjusted for the loss on
abandonment of assets, digital transformation costs, restructuring
costs, and excise taxes on excess pension plan assets, operating
profit was $971.7 million, or 6.0% of
net sales, for the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted for digital
transformation costs, merger-related and integration costs,
restructuring costs, and accelerated trademark amortization
expense, operating profit was $1,152.7
million, or 6.8% of net sales, for the first nine months of
2023.
- Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2024 was
$279.8 million compared to
$292.3 million for the first nine
months of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower
borrowings and a decrease in variable interest rates.
- Other non-operating income for the first nine months of 2024
was $99.3 million compared to expense
of $14.6 million for the first nine
months of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, we completed the
divestiture of our WIS business and recognized a gain from the sale
of $122.2 million. Additionally, in
the first nine months of 2024, we recognized a $3.8 million loss on termination of a business
arrangement. Due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against certain
foreign currencies, a net foreign currency exchange loss of
$18.2 million was recognized for the
first nine months of 2024 compared to a net loss of $14.6 million for the first nine months of 2023.
Net costs of $3.2 million, comprising
pension settlement cost, and net benefits of $0.9 million associated with the non-service cost
components of net periodic pension (benefit) cost were recognized
for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Adjusted
for the gain on divestiture of our WIS business, the loss on
termination of a business arrangement, and pension settlement cost
described above, other non-operating expense was $15.8 million for the first nine months of
2024.
- The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was
25.4% compared to 20.4% for the first nine months of 2023. The
effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was higher
than the comparable prior year period due to lower discrete income
tax benefits resulting from the exercise and vesting of stock-based
awards as compared to the prior year period. The prior year period
also reflected discrete income tax benefits relating to the
reversal of certain valuation allowances and return-to-provision
adjustments.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $509.1 million for the first nine months of 2024
compared to $580.5 million for the
first nine months of 2023. Adjusted for the loss on abandonment of
assets, digital transformation costs, restructuring costs, excise
taxes on excess pension plan assets, the gain recognized on the
divestiture of the WIS business, the loss on termination of a
business arrangement, pension settlement cost, and the related
income tax effects, net income attributable to common stockholders
was $461.0 million for the first nine
months of 2024. Adjusted for digital transformation costs,
merger-related and integration costs, restructuring costs,
accelerated trademark amortization expense, and the related income
tax effects, net income attributable to common stockholders for the
first nine months of 2023 was $625.7
million.
- Earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2024
was $10.02, based on 50.8 million
diluted shares, compared to $11.08
for the first nine months of 2023, based on 52.4 million diluted
shares. Adjusted for the loss on abandonment of assets, digital
transformation costs, restructuring costs, excise taxes on excess
pension plan assets, the gain recognized on the divestiture of our
WIS business, the loss on termination of a business arrangement,
pension settlement cost, and the related income tax effects,
earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2024 was
$9.07. Adjusted for digital
transformation costs, merger-related and integration costs,
restructuring costs, accelerated trademark amortization expense,
and the related income tax effects, earnings per diluted share for
the first nine months of 2023 was $11.94. Adjusted earnings per diluted share
decreased 24.0% year-over-year.
- Operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2024 was an
inflow of $824.6 million compared to
$423.9 million for the first nine
months of 2023. Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2024
was $776.8 million, or 153.7% of
adjusted net income. The net cash inflow in the first nine months
of 2024 was primarily driven by net income of $553.5 million and non-cash adjustments to net
income totaling $66.3 million.
Operating cash flow was positively impacted by net changes in
assets and liabilities of $204.8
million, which primarily comprised an increase in accounts
payable of $478.0 million, primarily
due to the timing of payments to suppliers, as well as inventory
purchases, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts
receivable of $217.9 million due to
the timing of receipts from customers and an increase in
inventories of $85.0 million.

The nine months ended
September 30, 2024 includes the issuance of the Company's
$900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes
due 2029 and (the "2029 Notes") and the Company's $850.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2032 (the
"2032 Notes" and, together with the 2029 Notes, the "2029 and 2032
Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 and 2032 Notes
were used for the redemption of the Company's $1,500.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (the
"2025 Notes"). The nine months ended September 30, 2023
includes the repayment of the Company's $58.6 million aggregate
principal amount of 5.50% Anixter Senior Notes due 2023 (the
"Anixter 2023 Senior Notes"). The repayment of the Anixter 2023
Senior Notes was funded with borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility.

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, gross margin, earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA margin, financial leverage, free cash flow, adjusted
selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted income from
operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other non-operating
expense (income), 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 our financial condition and results of operations
on a comparable basis. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures
either focus on or exclude items impacting comparability of results
such as merger-related and integration costs, digital
transformation costs, restructuring costs, cloud computing
arrangement amortization, pension settlement cost and excise taxes
on excess pension plan assets related to the final settlement of
the Anixter Inc. Pension Plan, loss on abandonment of assets, the
gain recognized on the divestiture of the WIS business, the loss on
termination of business arrangement, and the related income tax
effects, 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.

Note: Organic sales
growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales performance.
Organic sales growth is calculated by deducting the percentage
impact from acquisitions and divestitures for one year following
the respective transaction, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
and number of workdays from the reported percentage change in
consolidated net sales. Workday impact represents the change in the
number of operating days period-over-period after adjusting for
weekends and public holidays in the United States. The third
quarter and the first nine months of 2024 had one more workday
compared to the third quarter and the first nine months of
2023. There was no change in the number of workdays in the
third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of
2024.

Note: EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin % are non-GAAP financial measures
that provide indicators of the Company's performance and its
ability to meet debt service requirements. For the three months
ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization before other
non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation
expense, digital transformation costs, cloud computing arrangement
amortization, and restructuring costs. For the three months ended
September 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization before other
non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation
expense, digital transformation costs, restructuring costs, and
merger-related and integration costs. For the three months ended
June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization before other
non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation
expense, loss on abandonment of assets, digital transformation
costs, cloud computing arrangement amortization, and restructuring
costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin % is calculated by dividing Adjusted
EBITDA by net sales.

Note: Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA margin % are non-GAAP financial measures that
provide indicators of the Company's performance and its ability to
meet debt service requirements. For the nine months ended September
30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization before other non-operating
expenses (income), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, loss
on abandonment of assets, digital transformation costs, cloud
computing arrangement amortization, restructuring costs, and
excise taxes on excess pension plan assets related to the final
settlement of the Anixter Inc. Pension Plan. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
before other non-operating expenses (income), non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, digital transformation costs, merger-related
and integration costs, and restructuring costs. Adjusted EBITDA
margin % is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by net
sales.

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 other non-operating expenses (income),
non-cash stock-based compensation expense, merger-related and
integration costs, restructuring costs, digital transformation
costs, excise taxes on excess pension plan assets related to the
final settlement of the Anixter Inc. Pension Plan, loss on
abandonment of assets, and cloud computing arrangement
amortization.

Note: Free cash flow is
a non-GAAP financial 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, 2024, the Company
paid for certain costs related to digital transformation and
restructuring. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023, the Company paid for certain costs to integrate the acquired
Anixter business and related to digital transformation as well as
certain restructuring costs. Such expenditures have been added back
to operating cash flow to determine free cash flow for such
periods. Our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to
similar measures used by other companies.
