#Earnings per share is calculated and
presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations
attributable to Air Products.
*Certain results in this release, including in the highlights
above, include references to non-GAAP financial measures on a
consolidated, continuing operations basis and a segment basis.
Additional information regarding these measures and reconciliations
of GAAP to non-GAAP historical results can be found below. In
addition, as discussed below, it is not possible, without
unreasonable efforts, to identify the timing or occurrence of
events and transactions that could significantly impact future GAAP
EPS or cash flow used for investing activities if they were to
occur.
Air Products (NYSE:APD) today reported second quarter fiscal
2022 results, including GAAP EPS from continuing operations of
$2.38, up 12 percent over prior year,
and GAAP net income of $537 million,
up 13 percent over prior year as higher volumes, pricing and equity
affiliates' income more than offset higher costs. GAAP net income
margin of 18.2 percent decreased 90 basis points, which included a
decrease from higher energy cost pass through of about 100 basis
points.
For the quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EPS from
continuing operations of $2.38
increased 14 percent over the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA of
$1,019 million was up nine percent
over the prior year as higher volumes, pricing and equity
affiliates' income more than offset higher costs. Adjusted EBITDA
margin of 34.6 percent decreased 270 basis points, which included a
decrease from higher energy cost pass through of about 200 basis
points.
Second quarter sales of $2.9
billion increased 18 percent over the prior year on eight
percent higher volumes, six percent higher pricing and six percent
higher energy cost pass-through, partially offset by two percent
unfavorable currency. Volume growth was driven by new assets,
hydrogen recovery, strong merchant and higher equipment sales.
Pricing improved in the Americas, Asia and Europe—the Company's three largest
segments.
Air Products closed on Phase I of the $12
billion Jazan joint venture in late October 2021, which favorably contributed its
first full quarter of results with the benefit reflected entirely
within equity affiliates' income, based on an updated accounting
interpretation.
Commenting on the results, Air Products' Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer Seifi
Ghasemi said, "Despite the global economic environment and
significant energy, environmental and geopolitical challenges
facing our world, the Air Products team continues to deliver on our
commitments and our higher purpose as a company. Our people are
driving progress in our existing megaprojects while also developing
and winning new ones, including the new, $2
billion investment for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel
expansion project at World Energy's facility in California. At the same time, the team is
focused on the strength of our base business, signing new contracts
and bringing facilities onstream across key markets. This includes
electronics, where we announced $1.3
billion of on-site awards demonstrating our continued
leadership position serving the growing semiconductor industry. I
want to thank our dedicated people for contributing the technology,
skills and expertise that benefit our customers and countries
around the world, every day."
Fiscal Second Quarter Results by
Business Segment
- Americas sales of $1,187
million were up 12 percent over the prior year on six
percent higher volumes, primarily hydrogen recovery and improved
merchant demand, five percent higher pricing, and two percent
higher energy cost pass-through, partially offset by one percent
unfavorable currency. Operating income of $276 million increased five percent, as higher
volumes and pricing more than offset higher energy, maintenance and
other costs. Adjusted EBITDA of $449
million was flat on these same factors as well as lower
equity affiliates' income. Operating margin of 23.2 percent
decreased 170 basis points, as higher costs and negative volume mix
were only partially offset by higher pricing. Adjusted EBITDA
margin of 37.9 percent decreased 460 basis points on these same
factors as well as lower equity affiliates' income.
- Asia sales of
$751 million increased eight percent
over the prior year on six percent higher volumes, particularly
on-site volume from new, traditional industrial gas plants; one
percent higher pricing; and one percent higher energy cost
pass-through. Operating income of $204
million increased three percent and adjusted EBITDA of
$322 million increased two percent,
as favorable volumes and pricing more than offset higher costs.
Operating margin of 27.1 percent decreased 140 basis points and
adjusted EBITDA margin of 42.8 percent decreased 240 basis
points.
- Europe sales of
$739 million increased 32 percent
over the prior year on 24 percent higher energy cost pass-through;
14 percent higher pricing across all sub-regions; and two percent
higher volumes, driven primarily by merchant demand, partially
offset by eight percent unfavorable currency. Operating income of
$116 million decreased 12 percent,
primarily driven by higher energy and other costs and unfavorable
currency, partially offset by higher pricing. Adjusted EBITDA of
$190 million decreased three percent
on these same factors, partially offset by favorable equity
affiliates' income. Operating margin of 15.8 percent decreased 800
basis points and adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.7 percent decreased
950 basis points, predominantly on the higher energy costs. Higher
energy cost pass-through negatively impacted operating margin and
adjusted EBITDA margin by about 450 and 700 basis points,
respectively.
- Middle East and
India equity affiliates'
income of $71 million was up
$55 million over the prior year,
primarily from the Jazan joint venture.
- Corporate and other sales of $240
million increased 46 percent over the prior year, driven by
higher sale of equipment activity. This activity drove improvements
in both operating income and adjusted EBITDA.
Outlook
Air Products continues to expect full-year fiscal 2022 adjusted
EPS guidance of $10.20 to
$10.40, up 13 to 15 percent over
prior year adjusted EPS. For the fiscal 2022 third quarter, Air
Products' adjusted EPS guidance is $2.55 to $2.65, up
10 to 15 percent over fiscal 2021 third quarter adjusted EPS.
Air Products expects capital expenditures of $4.5 to $5.0
billion for full-year fiscal 2022.
Management has provided adjusted EPS guidance on a continuing
operations basis, which excludes the impact of certain items that
we believe are not representative of our underlying business
performance, such as the incurrence of additional costs for cost
reduction actions and impairment charges, or the recognition of
gains or losses on disclosed items. It is not possible, without
unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of these
events or the potential for other transactions that may impact
future GAAP EPS or the effective tax rate. Similarly, it is not
possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted
capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities
because we are unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our
future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of
competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions.
Furthermore, it is not possible to identify the potential
significance of these events in advance, but any of these events,
if they were to occur, could have a significant effect on our
future GAAP results. Management therefore is unable to reconcile,
without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of
adjusted EPS, the effective tax rate and our capital expenditures
to a comparable GAAP range.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for per
share data)
We present certain financial measures, other than in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), on an
"adjusted" or "non-GAAP" basis. On a consolidated basis, these
measures include adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS"),
adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted effective tax
rate, and capital expenditures. On a segment basis, these measures
include adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. In addition to
these measures, we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures to help the reader understand the impact that
certain disclosed items, or "non-GAAP adjustments," have on the
calculation of our adjusted diluted EPS. For each non-GAAP
financial measure, we present a reconciliation to the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with
GAAP.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe these
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors, potential investors,
securities analysts, and others with useful information to evaluate
the performance of our business because such measures, when viewed
together with financial results computed in accordance with GAAP,
provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends
affecting our historical financial performance and projected future
results.
In many cases, non-GAAP financial measures are determined by
adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP measure to exclude
non-GAAP adjustments that we believe are not representative of our
underlying business performance. For example, we previously
excluded certain expenses associated with cost reduction actions,
impairment charges, and gains on disclosed transactions. The reader
should be aware that we may recognize similar losses or gains in
the future. Readers should also consider the limitations associated
with these non-GAAP financial measures, including the potential
lack of comparability of these measures from one company to
another.
When applicable, the tax impact of our pre-tax non-GAAP
adjustments reflects the expected current and deferred income tax
impact of our non-GAAP adjustments. These tax impacts are primarily
driven by the statutory tax rate of the various relevant
jurisdictions and the taxability of the adjustments in those
jurisdictions.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS
There were no non-GAAP adjustments in the first six months of
fiscal year 2022 that impacted diluted EPS. For information related
to non-GAAP adjustments for the three and six months ended
31 March 2021, refer to Exhibit 99.1
to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated 10
May 2021.
ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS
The table below provides a reconciliation to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure for each of the major components used to
calculate adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, which we
view as a key performance metric. In periods that we have non-GAAP
adjustments, we believe it is important for the reader to
understand the per share impact of each such adjustment because
management does not consider these impacts when evaluating
underlying business performance. Per share impacts are calculated
independently and may not sum to total diluted EPS and total
adjusted diluted EPS due to rounding.

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income less income (loss) from
discontinued operations, net of tax, and excluding non-GAAP
adjustments, which we do not believe to be indicative of underlying
business trends, before interest expense, other non-operating
income (expense), net, income tax provision, and depreciation and
amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin
provide useful metrics for management to assess operating
performance. Margins are calculated independently for each period
by dividing each line item by consolidated sales for the respective
period and may not sum to total margin due to rounding.
The tables below present consolidated sales and a reconciliation
of net income on a GAAP basis to adjusted EBITDA and net income
margin on a GAAP basis to adjusted EBITDA margin:

CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES
|
|
We define capital
expenditures as cash flows for additions to plant and equipment,
including long-term deposits, acquisitions (less cash acquired),
and investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates. A
reconciliation of cash used for investing activities to our
reported capital expenditures is provided below:

(A)
|
Investment in and
advances to unconsolidated affiliates of $1.7 billion for the six
months ended 31 March 2022 includes approximately $130 from a
non-controlling partner in one of our subsidiaries for the initial
investment in the Jazan gasification and power project completed in
the first quarter.
|
We expect capital expenditures for fiscal year 2022 to be
approximately $4.5 to $5 billion.
It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile
our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for
investing activities because we are unable to identify the timing
or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by
our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into
transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the
aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for
investing activities.
OUTLOOK
The guidance provided below is on an adjusted continuing
operations basis and is compared to adjusted historical diluted EPS
attributable to Air Products. These adjusted measures exclude the
impact of certain items that we believe are not representative of
our underlying business performance, such as the incurrence of
additional costs for cost reduction actions and impairment charges,
or the recognition of gains or losses on disclosed items. It is not
possible, without unreasonable efforts, to identify the timing or
occurrence of these events or the potential for other transactions
that may impact future GAAP EPS. Furthermore, it is not possible to
identify the potential significance of these events in advance, but
any of these events, if they were to occur, could have a
significant effect on our future GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management
is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company's
forecasted range of adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis
to a comparable GAAP range. The per share impact for each non-GAAP
adjustment was calculated independently and may not sum to total
adjusted diluted EPS due to rounding.
