Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. Announces Record 2021 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

02 March 2022

Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (Nasdaq: HCCI), a leading provider of parts cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous waste services, used oil re-refining, antifreeze recycling and field services primarily focused on small and mid-sized customers, today announced results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and for the full fiscal year, which ended January 1, 2022.

Fourth Quarter Review

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 28.4% to $169.5 million compared to $132.0 million for the same quarter of 2020. The Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was comprised of 76 working days compared to 79 working days in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2020. On a sales-per-working day basis, revenue increased approximately 33.4% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was due to improvement in base oil pricing in our Oil Business segment along with our recovery from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as continued organic and inorganic growth in our Environmental Services segment.

Operating margin increased to 26.6% from 19.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the spread between the netback (sales price net of freight impact) on our base oil sales and the price paid/charged to our customers for the removal of their used oil. Our corporate SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 12.1% from 12.3% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 mainly due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher bonus accruals and share-based compensation expense.

Net income was $18.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. This compares to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the year earlier quarter.

Fiscal 2021 Review

In 2021, we generated $515.3 million in revenue compared to prior year revenue of $406.0 million, an increase of $109.4 million, or 26.9%. The Company's 2021 fiscal year was comprised of 253 working days compared to 256 working days in fiscal 2020. On a sales-per-working day basis, revenue increased approximately 28.5% in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year. This increase in revenue was due to the increase in base oil pricing in our Oil Business segment and our recovery from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as continued organic and inorganic growth in the Environmental Services segment.

Operating margin for 2021 was 28.0% compared to 15.8% operating margin in fiscal 2020. The increase in margin was mainly due to an increase in the spread between the netback (sales price net of freight impact) on our base oil sales and the price paid/charged to our customers for the removal of their used oil along with an increase in sales volume in our Environmental Services segment. Corporate SG&A expense for fiscal 2021 was 12.1% of revenue, compared to 12.7% of revenue in fiscal 2020.

Net income for fiscal 2021 was $60.9 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for fiscal 2020.

Segments

Our Environmental Services segment includes parts cleaning, containerized waste, wastewater vacuum, antifreeze recycling, and field services. The Environmental Services segment reported revenue of $103.7 million, an increase of $12.8 million, or 14.0%, during the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the continued increase in demand for our services compared to the prior year quarter. We experienced volume increases across the majority of service lines in the segment when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. On a sales-per-working day basis, Environmental Services segment revenue increased approximately 18.5% compared to the prior year quarter.

Our profit before corporate SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 22.0% compared to 24.6% in the year ago quarter. The decline in margin was mainly due to higher transportation and disposal related expenses as well as higher container, insurance, and workers compensation expense.

During fiscal 2021, Environmental Services segment revenue increased $27.6 million, or 9.5%, compared to fiscal 2020, while our 2021 profit before corporate SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 23.6% compared to 22.1% in fiscal 2020.

President and CEO Brian Recatto commented, "We are excited about our strong revenue growth during the fourth quarter despite having lost more time due to the COVID-19 pandemic than in any previous fiscal quarter. We continue to battle exceptionally high cost inflation in various parts of our business and we implemented additional price increases during the first quarter of 2022 to help improve our operating margin in this segment."

Our Oil Business segment includes used oil collection activities, sales of recycled fuel oil, and re-refining activities. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, Oil Business revenues increased 60.1% to $65.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. An increase in base oil prices was the main driver of the increase in revenue. On a sales-per-working day basis, our Oil Business segment revenue increased approximately 66.4% compared to the prior year quarter.

Oil Business segment operating margin improved 24.6 percentage points to 33.7% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 9.1% during the same period of 2020. The higher operating margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly due to an increase in the spread between the netback (sales price net of freight impact) on our base oil sales and the price paid/charged to our customers for the removal of their used oil.

Full year 2021 Oil Business segment revenue increased by $81.8 million compared to fiscal 2020, while operating margin also increased to 35.2% compared to a break even operating margin in fiscal 2020.

Recatto commented, "During the fourth quarter we continued to benefit from favorable base oil pricing conditions and we executed well in regards to used oil collection route efficiency. For the year, we are also very pleased with the improved cost performance and record base oil production at our re-refinery."

(a)

EBITDA represents net (loss) income before provision for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors, our lenders and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management uses EBITDA as a measurement tool for evaluating our actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

 

EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 
 

 

EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

 

 

EBITDA does not reflect tax expense or the cash requirements necessary to pay for tax obligations; and

 

 

 
   
   

 

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

 

 

 

 

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only as a supplement.

 

(b)

Impairment charges mainly associated with the intention to sell the Company's facilities in Wilmington Delaware and Fort Pierce Florida.

 

(c)

Reversal of a provision for a class action settlement and associated legal fees incurred in a prior fiscal year.

 

(d)

Non-Cash compensation expenses which are recorded in SG&A.

 

(e)

Cost associated with severance and other employee separations.

 

(f)

Cost associated with write-offs related to site closures.

 

(g)

Acquisition costs associated with business acquisitions which are recorded in SG&A.

 

(h)

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it may be used by analysts, investors, our lenders, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share provide investors and management useful information about the earnings impact from certain non-routine items for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter and full year of 2020.
