April 25, 2023

Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST), a global industrial technology company and leading provider of sensors, sensor-rich solutions and electrical protection devices used in mission-critical systems that create valuable business insights for customers, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

"Sensata delivered strong results in the first quarter with revenues and adjusted earnings above the mid-point of our financial guidance for the quarter. Sensata remains on track to achieve its long-term goals within Electrification, including scaling its Electrification business to $2 billion in revenue by 2026,” said Jeff Cote, CEO and President of Sensata. "During the first quarter, the Company repaid $250 million of its outstanding Term Loan, reducing variable rate debt and interest expense in line with our capital deployment priorities.”

Operating results for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 are summarized below. These results include non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure later in this press release.

Revenue:

  • Revenue was $998.2 million, an increase of $22.4 million, or 2.3%, compared to $975.8 million in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Revenue increased 4.7% on an organic basis, which excludes a decrease of (2.3)% from foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease of (0.1)% from acquisitions, net of divestitures, each versus the prior year period.

Operating income:

  • Operating income was $148.8 million, or 14.9% of revenue, an increase of $22.9 million, or 18.2%, compared to operating income of $125.9 million, or 12.9% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted operating income was $192.9 million, or 19.3% of revenue, an increase of $10.4 million, or 5.7%, compared to adjusted operating income of $182.5 million, or 18.7% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2022.

Earnings per share:

  • Earnings per share was $0.56, an increase of $0.42, or 300%, compared to earnings per share of $0.14 in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted earnings per share was $0.92, an increase of $0.14, or 17.9%, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.78 in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Sensata's adjusted earnings per share by $(0.04) in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period.

Sensata generated $96.9 million of operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $47.4 million in the prior year period. Sensata's free cash flow totaled $60.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $11.6 million in the prior year period.

Creation of New Reporting Segment

Effective April 1, 2023, Sensata created a new Insights reporting segment to provide visibility into the revenue growth and margin progress of this business as well as to align with new management reporting. Insights' financial results have previously been reported as part of Performance Sensing. Beginning with the second quarter of 2023, Sensata will report the financial results of three Segments: Performance Sensing, Sensing Solutions, and Insights.

Guidance

"In the first quarter, Sensata grew earnings faster than revenue, delivering 2.3% revenue growth, 5.7% adjusted operating income growth, and 17.9% adjusted earnings per share growth compared to the prior year period," said Paul Vasington, EVP and CFO of Sensata. "For the second quarter of 2023, we expect revenue of $1,000 to $1,040 million and adjusted EPS of $0.88 to $0.98."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance, and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful for period-over-period comparisons of underlying business trends and our ongoing business performance. We also believe presenting these non-GAAP measures provides additional transparency into how management evaluates the business.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as, or comparable to, similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by Sensata in this release include: adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, organic revenue growth, market outgrowth, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), net debt, and net leverage ratio. We also refer to changes in certain non-GAAP measures, usually reported either as a percentage or number of basis points, between two periods. Such changes are also considered non-GAAP measures.

Adjusted net income (or loss) is defined as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are detailed in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income (or loss) by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Adjusted operating income (or loss) is defined as operating income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are detailed in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income (or loss) by net revenue. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to fund acquisitions, repurchase ordinary shares, or for the accelerated repayment of debt obligations.

Organic revenue growth (or decline) is defined as the reported percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the period-over-period impact of foreign exchange rate differences as well as the net impact of material acquisitions and divestitures for the 12-month period following the respective transaction date(s). We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, net, provision for (or benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and the following non-GAAP adjustments, if applicable: (1) restructuring related and other, (2) financing and other transaction costs, and (3) deferred gain or loss on derivative instruments. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Net debt is defined as total debt, finance lease, and other financing obligations less cash and cash equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.

Net leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA. We believe the net leverage ratio is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.
