  • Q1 GAAP Operating Income of $26 Million
  • Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 Totaled $78 million, an Increase of 19 Percent Over the Prior-Year Quarter

PHILADELPHIA, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enviri Corporation (NYSE: NVRI) today reported first quarter 2024 results. Revenues in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $600 million, an increase of 7 percent compared with the comparable quarter in 2023. GAAP operating income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $26 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $78 million in the quarter, an increase of 19 percent over the prior-year quarter.

On a U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) basis, the first quarter of 2024 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.21, after strategic expenses and a long-lived asset adjustment in Harsco Rail. The adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2024 was $0.03. These figures compare with first quarter of 2023 GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.11, including a net gain on a lease to relocate a site, and adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.10.

“Enviri delivered another quarter of strong performance, as we continue to benefit from firm demand for our environmental solutions and solid execution by our team,” said Enviri Chairman and CEO Nick Grasberger. “Our results were supported by healthy underlying volumes in key end-markets and favorable cost performance relative to our earlier expectations, supported by internal efficiency initiatives. We expect that business performance will remain strong in the coming quarters and our 2024 outlook for Clean Earth and Harsco Environmental (cash earnings and cash flow) remains largely consistent with the guidance provided in February.”

“While Enviri continues to pursue a strategy focused on environmental solutions, we have announced we’re including Rail again within continuing operations. Rail’s performance has improved in recent quarters following significant internal improvements and the Board determined that a divestiture at this time would not maximize shareholder value. Our 2024 outlook for Rail is also positive, and we anticipate its earnings and cash flows will strengthen in the future as we work to further simplify and de-risk the business. We will continue to optimize our portfolio and believe that executing on our strategic initiatives, along with our focus on deleveraging and stronger cash flow, will create increased value for shareholders.”

Consolidated First Quarter Operating Results

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations were $600 million, an increase of 7 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. Each of the Company’s business segments realized an increase in revenues compared to the first quarter of 2023. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted first quarter 2024 revenues by approximately $2 million compared with the prior-year period.

The Company’s GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $26 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared with GAAP operating income of $32 million in the same quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA totaled $78 million in the first quarter of 2024 versus $66 million in the first quarter of the prior year, an increase of 19 percent, with this increase driven by performance in the Harsco Environmental and Clean Earth segments.

First Quarter Business Review

Harsco Environmental

($ in millions)   Q1 2024   Q1 2023
Revenues   $ 299     $ 273  
Operating income – GAAP   $ 20     $ 22  
Adjusted EBITDA – Non GAAP   $ 49     $ 44  
Adjusted EBITDA margin – Non GAAP     16.5 %     16.1 %

Harsco Environmental revenues totaled $299 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 9 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. This increase is attributable to higher services and products demand and price increases. The segment’s GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA totaled $20 million and $49 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024. These figures compare with GAAP operating earnings of $22 million and adjusted EBITDA of $44 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year increase in adjusted earnings of 12 percent reflects the above mentioned impacts, partially offset by related compensation and other spending as well as currency impacts. As a result, Harsco Environmental’s adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 16.5 percent in the first quarter of 2024 versus 16.1 percent in the comparable quarter of 2023.

Clean Earth

($ in millions)   Q1 2024   Q1 2023
Revenues   $ 226     $ 222  
Operating income – GAAP   $ 21     $ 16  
Adjusted EBITDA – Non GAAP   $ 34     $ 27  
Adjusted EBITDA margin – Non GAAP     15.1 %     12.3 %

Clean Earth revenues totaled $226 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 2 percent increase over the prior-year quarter as a result mainly of higher services pricing. The segment’s GAAP operating income was $21 million and adjusted EBITDA was $34 million in the first quarter of 2024. These figures compare with GAAP operating income of $16 million and adjusted EBITDA of $27 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year improvement in adjusted earnings of 25 percent reflects higher pricing as well as internal efficiency initiatives. As a result, Clean Earth’s adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 15.1 percent in the first quarter of 2024 versus 12.3 percent in the comparable quarter of 2023.

Harsco Rail

($ in millions)   Q1 2024   Q1 2023
Revenues   $ 75     $ 65  
Operating income – GAAP   $ (9 )   $ 2  
Adjusted EBITDA – Non GAAP   $ 2     $ 2  
Adjusted EBITDA margin – Non GAAP     2.7 %     2.8 %

Harsco Rail revenues totaled $75 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 16% increase over the prior-year quarter. This change is principally due to higher equipment and contracting services demand, partially offset by lower aftermarket volumes. The segment’s GAAP operating loss was $9 million and adjusted EBITDA was $2 million in the first quarter of 2024. These figures compare with GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA of $2 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year change in adjusted earnings reflects the above mentioned factors as well as a less-favorable business mix.

Divestiture Process for Harsco Rail
The Company’s evaluation of strategic alternatives for Harsco Rail has not yielded a transaction structure and financial terms that are acceptable to Enviri. While the Company received substantial interest for the business over the course of its strategic review process, following a thorough review and evaluation of the proposals, the Board concluded that none of the proposals would maximize value and be in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

Harsco Rail is a strong business with market-leading product capabilities. Its core business is performing well, and the outlook is positive. A finite number of large ETO (engineered to order) contracts continue to weigh on Harsco Rail’s operations as well as its earnings and cash performance. While there has been substantial progress to stabilize these contracts, further improvements are needed, including through ongoing commercial discussions which are expected in the coming quarters. Realizing these and other improvements are a priority for the business, and Enviri is committed to evaluating the strategic direction for Harsco Rail in the future, as appropriate.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $37 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $(17) million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $16 million in the prior-year period. The change in adjusted free cash flow compared with the prior-year quarter is attributable to the timing of incentive compensation payments and working capital movements.

2024 Outlook
The Company’s 2024 guidance continues to point to earnings growth compared with 2023, with this outlook supported by stable economic conditions as well as internal growth and improvement initiatives. Relative to prior guidance in February, this outlook now incorporates Harsco Rail. In addition, it reflects an improved outlook for Clean Earth as a result of greater business visibility and lower operating costs. These impacts are partially offset by a revised outlook for Harsco Environmental, where an improved underlying operating result for the year is offset by negative currency effects compared to February guidance and the sale of Performix Metallurgical Additives on April 1.

Key business drivers for each segment as well as other 2024 guidance details are below (prior period segment information including Harsco Rail within Continuing Operations is included in this press release):

Harsco Environmental adjusted EBITDA is projected to be comparable with prior-year results. Higher services volumes and pricing, site improvement initiatives and new contracts are expected to be partially offset by lower commodities, currency impacts and certain product volumes as well as personnel investments and the sale of Performix.

Clean Earth adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase versus 2023 as a result of higher services pricing (net of inflation), efficiency initiatives and higher volumes, offsetting the impacts of a less favorable project-related business mix as well as certain other 2023 items not repeating (Stericycle settlement).

Harsco Rail adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase versus 2023 as a result of higher demand and pricing for standard equipment offerings, technology products and contracted services, partially offset by lower contributions from aftermarket parts (volume and product mix driven).

Corporate spending is anticipated to be comparable with 2023 (considers that a portion of Corporate costs are again allocated to Harsco Rail in both periods).

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Measurements of financial performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP should be considered as supplements to, and not substitutes for, performance measurements calculated or derived in accordance with GAAP. Any such measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly-titled measurements employed by other companies. The most comparable GAAP measures are included within the definitions below and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations adjusted for unusual items and acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense. It is important to note that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. The Company’s management believes Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of unusual items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. Exclusion of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense, the amount of which can vary by the timing, size and nature of the Company’s acquisitions, facilitates more consistent internal comparisons of operating results over time between the Company’s newly acquired and long-held businesses, and comparisons with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to add back income tax expense; equity income of unconsolidated entities, net; net interest expense; defined benefit pension income (expense); facility fees and debt-related income (expense); and depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs); and excludes unusual items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude unusual items and add back depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). The sum of the Segments’ Adjusted EBITDA and Corporate Adjusted EBITDA equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company‘s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because management reviews Adjusted EBITDA in assessing and evaluating performance.

Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of net cash provided (used) by operating activities less capital expenditures and expenditures for intangible assets; and plus capital expenditures for strategic ventures, total proceeds from sales of assets and certain transaction-related / debt-refinancing expenditures. The Company’s management believes that Adjusted free cash flow is important to management and useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it indicates the cash flow available for working capital needs, repay debt obligations, invest in future growth through new business development activities, conduct strategic acquisitions or other uses of cash. It is important to note that Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements and settlements of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, are not deducted from this measure. This presentation provides a basis for comparison of ongoing operations and prospects.
