Mohawk Industries 公佈第二季度業績

喬治亞洲卡爾霍恩, July 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via SEAPRWire.com) —  Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) 今天宣佈 2022 年第二季度的淨收益為 2.8 億美元，攤薄後每股盈利 (EPS）為 4.40 美元。調整後淨盈利為 2.81 億美元，每股盈利為 4.41 美元，不包括調整、收購及其他費用。2020 年第二季度的淨銷售額為 32 億美元，按報告季度上升 6.7 %，而按固定貨幣和天數計算為 11.1%。2021 年第二季度淨銷售額為 30 億美元，淨收益為 3.36 億美元，每股盈利為 4.82 美元。調整後的淨盈利為 3.10 億美元，每股盈利為 4.45 美元，不包括調整、收購和其他費用。

在截至 2022 年 7 月 2 日的六個月中，淨收益及每股收益分別為 5.26 億美元及 8.17 美元。調整後淨收益為 5.27 億美元，每股收益為 8.18 美元，不包括調整、收購及其他費用。在 2022 年的六個月期間，淨銷售額為 62 億美元，比去年報告增加 9.7%，或按固定貨幣和天數計算增長為 14.0%。在截至 2021 年 7 月 3 日的六個月期間，淨銷售額為 56 億美元，淨收益為 5.73 億美元，每股盈利為 8.18 美元；不包括調整、收購、其他費用和利益的淨收益和每股盈利分別為 5.56 億美元和 7.94 美元。

主席兼行政總裁 Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum 在評論 Mohawk Industries 的第二季度業績時表示：「在本季度，我們所有部門的銷售都有所增長，而我們的首要成果受益於價格上漲、產品組合增強、營商狀況改善和小型收購的貢獻。隨著本季度發展，全球經濟環境變得越來越具挑戰性，我們的組織採取了其他措施以支持我們的業績。我們本季度的營業收入符合我們的預期，即使由於材料、能源和運輸通貨膨脹仍然是一個重大的不利因素，我們的轉換業績也受到美元轉強的影響。

在過去 18 個月，我們所有業務都經歷不尋常的通貨膨脹，而我們已多次提高價格，以克服成本上漲。我們還採取了多項營運行動，包括成本控制、生產力改進、組合和物流強化。在我們所有市場，通貨膨脹導致消費者可支配支出的變化。隨著按揭利率上升得更快，美國房屋銷售的影響比我們其他市場更大。與過去的經濟週期不同，房屋需求超過市場供應，而止贖並無問題。在歐洲，利率升幅不及美國，儘管消費者可支配支出受能源和其他通貨膨脹的侵蝕，而這影響了需求。在我們的大多數區域，商業新建築和改建的投資仍然強健。隨著業界持續強化，由於疫情而推遲的商業項目和新的項目開始進行數目日益增加。

對於我們駕馭近期市場變化，Mohawk 的強健資產負債表為我們帶來了許多投資選擇，包括內部擴張、收購和股票回購。在第二季度，我們宣佈了約 4.4 億美元的新收購，而最大宗的收購協議是墨西哥領先陶瓷製造商 Vitromex。我們於 7 月初完成收購美國領先針孔地板製造商 Foss Floors。我們在歐洲整合 2021 年絕緣和面板收購方面取得了極佳進展，這正按預期為我們的業績作出貢獻。我們的擴展項目仍按計劃進行，包括：層壓板、LVT、石英枱面和歐洲高端瓷器板，這些都將幫助我們滿足目前和未來的需求。

在第二季度，我們的全球陶瓷部門淨銷售額為 12 億美元，按報告增長 11.5%，按固定貨幣計算為 14.6%。由於通貨膨脹抵消了定價、產品組合和生產力的改善，該部門的經營利潤率為 13.3%。 在我們的大多數市場，建築商的銷售保持強勁，商業翻新和新建工程開始數目越來越多。由於通貨膨脹和利率上升影響改建投資，住宅活動在我們的大多數地區都略為疲弱。隨著陶瓷業務的能源和原材料價格增加，我們將繼續實施新的定價行動。在美國，我們的陶瓷業務的營業收入增長至四年間的最高水平，商業銷售轉佳推動強化產品組合和提升利潤率。我們的美國枱面業務中，石英、石材和瓷器部份正在增長，而為滿足不斷增長的需求，我們正在採購產品並擴展石英枱面生產。我們的歐洲陶瓷業務亦繼而改善，銷售增加和產品組合提升。雖然定價行動提高了我們的利潤率，但與去年相比，並未完全抵消通脹率。未來，由於我們的天然氣成本將更高，我們的產量和利潤率將受到更大壓力。我們的其他國際陶瓷市場表現良好，銷售增長主要由定價和產品組合推動，而商業業務較住宅業務強勁。

根據報告，本季度我們的世界地板部門的淨銷售額增加 9 億美元，即 7.4%，而按固定貨幣計算為 18.8%。由於有利的定價和產品組合改善抵消通貨膨脹和銷量下降，該部門的經營利潤率為 13.9%。我們看到整個部門的零售流量放緩，這正在減少大多數類別的工業數量。隨著通貨膨脹繼續上升，我們已提高價格，而隨著天然氣和化學品價格在本季度末攀升，我們已宣布進一步調高價格。層壓板、LVT 和乙烯基板材都有類似的需求趨勢，隨著季度發展和客戶減少存貨，銷售疲軟。在此期間，我們的成本繼續上升，而材料供應有所改善。我們正在採取行動應對不斷變化的環境，包括降低成本、改善流程和延遲非關鍵項目。我們的絕緣材料業務繼續提供卓越的業績，而銷售量及價格亦增長。絕緣產品的銷售保持強勁，因為它們受益於消費者投資增加以降低能源成本。我們的面板業務表現良好，但銷量隨著季度發展而放緩。我們將繼續提高價格並以更高價值產品改善產品組合。我們對廢木材能源生產的投資將有助降低成本，並有益環境。

在本季度，我們的北美地板部門淨銷售額為 11 億美元，按報告季度增長了 1.7%，由於通貨膨脹上升和銷量下降部分影響由定價、產品組合和生產力改善抵消，該部門的營業利潤率增加了 9.1%。商業部門有所改善，而住宅市場正在疲軟。隨著我們的服務水平提升，客戶減少其在住宅方面的存貨。我們繼續執行定價行動以抵消通貨膨脹，但減少工廠產量正在減少吸收並提高成本。我們的 LVT 銷售繼續增長，而我們經歷較少材料中斷，這促進營運改善並有益利潤率。我們新的西岸 LVT 工廠已開始向客戶發貨，而我們合併的東岸和西岸業務將增強我們的服務。我們防水層壓板系列產品的銷售在專業零售和新建築渠道中有所增加，但家居中心的存貨調整影響了我們的銷售。我們新的層壓板生產線繼續提升至目標生產水平，並滿足我們下一代產品的需求。隨著商業部門復甦，我們地毯瓷磚和商業 LVT 的銷售和利潤率正在改善。根據建築帳單指數，商業設計活動保持強勁，包括支持可預見未來銷售增長的一系列正在計劃中的項目。由於住宅地毯數量因市場疲軟和存貨減少而下降，我們正在根據需求調整產能、減少開支，並宣佈更多價格上調以反映通貨膨脹。 我們的地毯業務集中在主要的全國零售商，在本季度，隨著銷售預測減弱，他們都大幅削減訂單以減少存貨。若無購買地毯的 5,000 萬美元下跌，該部門的銷售額與去年相比增加約 6.5%。

為了適應目前的條件和改善我們的業績，我們正在整個企業採取行動，以重新調整成本。我們正在總結計劃將較舊、效率較低的資產重新安排，並優化流程，以降低成本。最重要的行動是在北美地板，包括一些纖維資產和減少地毯製造產能。在世界其他地方地板，我們正在整合絕緣產品並簡化我們的組織。在陶瓷歐洲，我們簡化了我們的行政和製造組織。我們估計這些措施將使我們的成本每年減少 3,500 萬至 4,000 萬美元，估計現金成本為 1,500 至 2,000 萬美元，而總成本為 9,000 萬至 95 萬美元。

在 2022 年上半年，儘管通貨膨脹嚴重、利率上升和地緣政治不穩定，但我們仍取得了可觀的業績。在美國，快速上升的利率影響了房屋銷售，而通貨膨脹正在導致消費者可支配支出的變化。隨著消費者延遲升級他們的住宅，住宅改建變得疲軟。新住宅和多家庭地板渠道保持強勁，而隨著新項目和延遲後的項目展開，商業部門繼續改善。雖然歐洲利率較低，但天然氣價格急劇上升，加上供應受到限制，減少經濟增長。考慮到這些因素，我們預計會使需求疲軟，並增加我們利潤率的壓力。我們正在整個企業採取焦點行動，以適應這些不斷變化的市場狀況。材料和能源成本繼續上漲，我們正在實施進一步的價格上調。我們正在引入更高價值的產品，並提高我們的服務水平，以擴大我們的銷售。我們正在減少開支並開始新的流程改善計劃。我們將在公司實施多項重組項目，以降低成本。我們也預計材料供應和運輸將在今年下半年持續改善。在美國，我們預計利率上漲將強化美元，並減少我們的轉換業績。考慮到這些因素，我們預計第三季度調整後的每股收益將在 3.33 美元至 3.43 美元之間，不包括任何重組費用。

Mohawk 此前已多次成功度過經濟週期。從長遠來看，地板以比整體經濟增長更快的速度增長。在大多數地區因房屋短缺而需要進行大量額外的建設，美國房屋的需求比供應估計多出超過 500 萬個單位，而且有 20 至 40 年屋齡需要翻新的房屋有超過 2,000 萬間。我們的業務處於有利地位，可以獲益於新住宅建設、住宅改建和商業項目的長期增長。我們有強大的資產負債表，可透過內部投資、收購和股票回購來支持業務不斷增長。我們將加強經收購公司的表現，並將繼續在新的產品和地區尋求機會。我們對 Mohawk 的未來保持樂觀，而我們今天採取的行動將增加我們的銷售並改善我們的未來業績。」

The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial measures. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the tables above present a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure. Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to the comparable US GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when reconciled to the corresponding US GAAP measure, help its investors as follows: Non-GAAP revenue measures that assist in identifying growth trends and in comparisons of revenue with prior and future periods and non-GAAP profitability measures that assist in understanding the long-term profitability trends of the Company’s business and in comparisons of its profits with prior and future periods.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP revenue measures because these items can vary dramatically between periods and can obscure underlying business trends. Items excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP revenue measures include: foreign currency transactions and translation and the impact of acquisitions.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP profitability measures because these items may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company’s core operating performance. Items excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP profitability measures include: restructuring, acquisition and integration-related and other costs, acquisition purchase accounting, including inventory step-up, release of indemnification assets and the reversal of uncertain tax positions.
