CEO COMMENTS
“We entered 2022 with significant momentum given the robust end market demand, strengthened product offering, and our enhanced operational capabilities. I am pleased to report another quarter of strong financial performance as our team worked hard to continue to supply our customers with leading products and solutions,” said Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The backdrop for the pool industry remains attractive and continues to be supported by sustainable secular demand trends across new construction and the aftermarket which represents approximately 80% of our business. As a leader in pool technology, through our Omni controller suite, we are prioritizing innovation within our Hayward portfolio to provide pool owners the opportunity to create the ultimate backyard experience. Our momentum is being driven by our innovation and our ability to meet market demand and we are confident that we will be able to perform in the near-term while generating long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales increased by 23% to $410.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 with de minimis contribution from acquisitions. 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 higher volumes driven by production capabilities, adoption of new products and strategic pricing actions to offset the inflationary environment.
Gross profit increased by 19% to $190.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin decreased 144 basis points to 46.4%. The decrease in gross margin was due to continued inflation in raw materials, labor and freight, despite favorable pricing actions and the realization of operating leverage on increased output.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by 4% to $68.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in SG&A was primarily driven by investments to support growth and higher volume related distribution costs. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 312 basis points to 16.8%, compared to the prior year period. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $5.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, or 1% of net sales, as compared to $4.8 million for the prior year period, or 1% of net sales.
Operating income increased by 34% to $106.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales.
Interest expense, net, inclusive of the loss on debt extinguishment in the prior year period, decreased by 60% to $9.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily as a result of debt repayment during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $364.6
million, a $5.8 million loss recorded related to debt extinguishment during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 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 $23.3 million compared to $15.2 million for the prior year period.
Net income increased by 101% to $74.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted Net income increased by 34% to $85.0 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 18% to $126.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 134 basis points to 30.8% against challenging prior year comparisons and inflationary pressures.
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2022 SEGMENT RESULTS
North America
Net sales increased by 28% to $346.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven by increased pricing and higher sales of residential pool equipment.
Segment income increased by 27% to $108.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income increased by 19% to $114.2 million.
Europe & Rest of World
Net sales increased by 2% to $64.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increased pricing, continued consumer demand for pool products, offsetting the unfavorable impact from foreign currency and the challenging prior year comparisons.
Segment income increased by 14% to $17.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted segment income increased by 16% to $18.4 million.
BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
Net debt was $881.6 million and $737.0 million as of April 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 2.0 times compared to 1.7 times as of December 31, 2021. The increase in net debt and leverage reflects the use of cash to support seasonal increases in working capital as well as the stock repurchase of $81 million.
As of April 2, 2022, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $118.2 million and approximately $325.4 million available for future borrowings under its ABL Facility.
OUTLOOK
Hayward remains well positioned to achieve net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth for the full year following the strong start in the first quarter of 2022. Consumer demand for pool equipment products continues to be driven by healthy activity in the aftermarket as well as new construction. Having entered this year in a significantly stronger manufacturing position, we are continuing to see increased market adoption of our products, specifically within the SmartPad conversion opportunities facilitated by our Omni platform and environmentally conscious technologies. While underlying market demand trends remain positive, we do continue to experience areas of supply chain and cost inflation challenges brought on by global market disruptions, we will continue to leverage our vertical integration and pricing power to help substantially offset these challenges.
For the full fiscal year 2022, Hayward is reaffirming its outlook for net sales growth of 9% to 12% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $460 million to $475 million, or a growth range of 9% to 13% year-over-year.
Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward’s outlook.

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 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”), including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, 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 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.
