IAA, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

WESTCHESTER, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 7, 2022--

IAA, Inc. (NYSE: IAA) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which ended October 2, 2022.

John Kett, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “Our third quarter results reflect the continuation of mixed industry trends as the benefit from increases in revenue per unit were largely offset by volume and cost related headwinds, particularly in the U.K. With that said, we are encouraged by the progress we are seeing with a number of insurance selling partners in the U.S. Most recently, we received high praise from our customers with respect to our response to Hurricane Ian. Our response effort was only made possible because of the consistent preparation activities of our CAT response team, the significant investment we have made in real estate and technology, and the decades of collective knowledge and experience IAA brings to the table. Throughout the response process our access to information and visibility into our operations, capacity and logistical network was exceptional, enabling IAA to react quickly and with precision to this historic storm.”

Mr. Kett continued, “We continue to focus on building operational efficiencies and delivering against our strategic objectives while continuing to navigate a dynamic macro-environment. We are also excited with the announcement of our pending combination with Ritchie Bros.”

Key Third Quarter Measures:
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended October 2, 2022:

• Consolidated revenues increased 18.3% to $497.5 million from $420.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Foreign currency movements had a negative impact of $4.5 million on revenue for the quarter. Revenue from our recent acquisition of SYNETIQ was $36.5 million. Excluding these items, organic revenue increased $44.8 million, or 10.6%, to $465.5 million, consisting of a higher revenue per unit of 13.1%, partially offset by a decrease in volume of 2.2%. Service revenues increased 10.8% to $397.9 million from $359.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due to higher revenue per unit and incremental revenue from the SYNETIQ acquisition, partially offset by lower volume of vehicles sold. Vehicle and parts sales increased 61.4% to $99.6 million, compared to $61.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to incremental revenue from the SYNETIQ acquisition, higher revenue per unit and higher volume of vehicles sold. U.S. revenues increased by 10.0% to $405.9 million from $369.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. U.S. revenues were driven by higher revenue per unit, partially offset by lower volume. International revenues increased by 77.5% to $91.6 million from $51.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. International revenues increased primarily due to the acquisition of SYNETIQ and higher volume in Canada, partially offset by lower revenue per unit.

• Gross profit, which is defined as total consolidated revenues minus cost of services and vehicle and parts sales, and exclusive of depreciation and amortization, decreased by 4.5% to $160.2 million from $167.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a higher mix of lower margin purchased vehicle and parts sales, market dynamics in our International segment, and higher costs for towing, occupancy and wages, partially offset by higher revenue per unit. Gross margin in the quarter declined by 770 basis points to 32.2% from 39.9% in the prior year period. Purchased vehicle and parts mix accounted for approximately 170 basis points of this decline.

• Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by 2.4% to $51.0 million from $49.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $47.0 million, an increase of 0.4% compared to Adjusted SG&A expenses of $46.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher headcount and incremental costs from our recent acquisition of SYNETIQ, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

• Interest expense was $13.3 million compared to $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates on our floating rate debt in the current year period.

• The effective tax rate was 25.7% versus 23.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was adversely affected from a change in the estimate related to forecasted global income and state income taxes.

• Net income decreased by 23.4% to $50.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $65.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted net income decreased by 14.2% to $59.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $69.8 million, or 0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 6.4% to $113.3 million from $121.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to lower gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA includes favorable foreign currency movements of $0.1 million and a loss from SYNETIQ of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding these items, organic Adjusted EBITDA was $113.6 million, a decrease of 6.2% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Highlights for the Year-to-Date Ended October 2, 2022:

• Consolidated revenues increased 22.2% to $1,575.4 million from $1,289.3 million in the prior year period. Foreign currency movements had a negative impact of $9.4 million on revenue for the year. Revenue from our recent acquisitions of Auto Exchange* and SYNETIQ was $125.5 million. Excluding these items, organic revenue increased 13.2% to $1,459.3 million, consisting of higher revenue per unit of 13.8%, partially offset by lower volume of 0.6%. Service revenues increased 13.4% to $1,249.5 million from $1,101.9 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher revenue per unit and incremental revenue from the Auto Exchange and SYNETIQ acquisitions. Vehicle and parts sales increased 73.9% to $325.9 million, compared to $187.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to incremental revenue from the SYNETIQ acquisition, higher revenue per unit and higher volume of vehicles sold. U.S. segment revenues increased by 12.7% to $1,263.2 million from $1,120.4 million in the prior year period. U.S. revenues were driven by higher revenue per unit, partially offset by lower volume. International segment revenues increased by 84.8% to $312.2 million from $168.9 million in the prior year period. International revenues increased primarily due to the acquisition of SYNETIQ and higher volume of vehicles sold, partially offset by lower revenue per unit.

• Gross profit, which is defined as total consolidated revenues minus cost of services and vehicle and parts sales, and exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased by 1.3% to $543.4 million from $536.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue per unit, partially offset by a higher mix of lower margin purchased vehicle and parts sales, market dynamics in our International segment, and higher costs for towing, wages and occupancy. Year-to-date gross margin decreased by 710 basis points versus the prior year to 34.5%. Purchased vehicle and parts mix accounted for approximately 190 basis points of this decline.

• SG&A expenses increased by 11.6% to $152.8 million from $136.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $143.9 million, an increase of 11.1% compared to Adjusted SG&A expenses of $129.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher headcount, incremental costs from our recent acquisitions of Auto Exchange and SYNETIQ and higher spending on information technology, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

• Interest expense was $36.0 million compared to $46.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $10.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher interest rates on our floating rate debt in the current year period.

• Other expense, net increased by $8.7 million mainly due to unrealized foreign currency losses in the current year period.

• The effective tax rate was 20.1% versus 24.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate in the current year period benefited from favorable adjustments of $12.7 million resulting from a change in the estimate for Foreign Derived Intangible Income. The adjustments are recorded as a $9.1 million discrete item and a $3.6 million benefit in the current year period.

• Net income decreased by 3.0% to $214.5 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, compared to $221.1 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income decreased by 3.8% to $231.9 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to $241.0 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1.9% to $399.3 million from $406.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA includes unfavorable foreign currency movements of less than $0.1 million and contributions from Auto Exchange* and SYNETIQ of $10.2 million. Excluding these items, organic Adjusted EBITDA was $389.1 million, a decrease of 4.4% over the prior year period.

*Through Auto Exchange’s first year anniversary in June 2022

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please see “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information" and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” for additional information and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: organic revenue growth, Adjusted SG&A expenses, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”), Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA"), organic Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and leverage ratio (defined as Net Debt divided by latest twelve month’s (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA). These measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

Each of the non-GAAP measures disclosed in this press release should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management uses these financial measures and key performance indicators to assess the Company’s financial operating performance, and we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results, as noted below.

• Organic revenue growth is growth in GAAP revenue adjusted to exclude (a) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, and (b) the impact of foreign currency movements. We believe that this measure helps investors analyze revenue on a comparable basis versus the prior year.

• Adjusted SG&A expense is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as GAAP SG&A expenses further adjusted for items that management believes are not representative of ongoing operations, including, but not limited to, (a) non-income, tax-related accruals, (b) fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration, (c) severance, restructuring and other retention expenses, (d) certain professional fees and (e) acquisition costs. We believe this measure helps investors understand the Company’s ongoing cost and expense structure and compare it to prior and future periods.

• Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures calculated as net income further adjusted for items that management believes are not representative of ongoing operations including, but not limited to, (a) loss on extinguishment of debt, (b) non-income, tax-related accruals, (c) fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration, (d) severance, restructuring and other retention expenses, (e) the net loss or gain on the sale of assets or expenses associated with certain M&A, financing and other transactions, (f) acquisition costs, and (g) certain professional fees, as well as (h) gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange rates, and (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and further adjusted to reflect the tax impact of these items. We believe that these measures help investors understand the long-term profitability of our Company and compare our profitability to prior and future periods.

• Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and further adjusted for items that management believes are not representative of ongoing operations including, but not limited to, (a) non-income, tax-related accruals, (b) fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration (c) severance, restructuring and other retention expenses, (d) the net loss or gain on the sale of assets or expenses associated with certain M&A, financing and other transactions, (e) acquisition costs, and (f) certain professional fees, as well as (g) gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange rates. Organic Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to exclude (a) EBITDA from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, and (b) the impact of foreign currency movements. We believe that these measures provide useful information regarding our operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our core financial performance and help investors compare our performance to prior and future periods.

• Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and computer software, and plus proceeds from the sale of equipment. We believe that this measure helps investors understand our ability to generate cash without external financings, invest in our business, grow our business through acquisitions and return capital to shareholders. A limitation of free cash flow is that is does not consider the Company’s debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. As a result, free cash flow is not necessarily representative of cash available for discretionary expenditures.

• Leverage ratio is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Debt divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt is defined as total debt less cash. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA over the prior twelve month period. We believe these measures help investors understand our capital structure and level of debt compared to prior and future periods.
