Second Consecutive Record Year as Full-Year Net Sales Increased 30% to $1.98 Billion
Celebrates Grand Opening of New European Manufacturing & Distribution Center
Weber Inc. (NYSE: WEBR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2021, ending September 30th.
Weber reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Weber closed fiscal year 2021 with Net Sales of $1.98 billion, Gross Profit of $825 million, Net Income of $6 million, and $307 million of adjusted EBITDA, representing the second straight year of record-breaking performance.
“Our strong financial results continue to demonstrate the strength of the Weber brand and our products across all key segments of the outdoor cooking category and in the top grilling markets worldwide,” said Chris Scherzinger, CEO of Weber. “With the official opening of our European manufacturing and distribution center earlier this fall, we now have the industry’s most comprehensive global manufacturing footprint and world-class supply chain organization. This organization has been instrumental in our ability to successfully navigate recent logistics challenges to deliver on unprecedented consumer demand, with 30% sales growth. In the fourth quarter, which lapped a very strong prior year, we also delivered stronger than expected performance based on historical seasonality trends.”
“I am tremendously proud of our global teams, who continue to work tirelessly in the current challenging operating environment to meet retail customer needs, bring innovation and new experiences to consumers, and execute against our strategic growth priorities,” added Mr. Scherzinger. “We remain committed to driving profitable growth in 2022, and to delivering strong and reliable financial results for our shareholders.”

______________
(1) |
Adjusted (loss) income from operations includes foreign currency gain (loss) in order to align adjusted (loss) income from operations with Adjusted EBITDA, with the exception of depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. |
|
(2) |
Our financial results reflect an increase in compensation expense related to an increase in the value of our LTIP and profits interest units as well as a change in accounting methodology from the intrinsic value method to the fair value method during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. These changes resulted in total compensation expense of approximately $32 million and $126 million for the three months and fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, respectively. |
|
(3) |
“Business transformation costs” are defined as costs incurred to implement the leadership team’s plans to transition the organization to the future operating structure. These costs include major business transformation initiatives that require severance or other costs to transition to a new operating model. |
|
(4) |
“Operational transformation costs” are defined as restructuring and transformation initiatives related to major supply chain, operational moves and startups that are designed to enable future productivity. These costs also include significant systems integration costs, as well was plant shutdown and closure costs that will drive future efficiencies. |
|
(5) |
“Debt refinancing and IPO costs” are defined as certain non-capitalizable costs from the refinancing of the Company’s term loan and costs related to the initial public offering. |
|
(6) |
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a number of significant costs related to the global COVID-19 pandemic. These non-recurring costs included plant shutdown costs, the impact of enhanced employee safety and social distancing protocols as well as overtime and expedited freight costs to fulfill significant unexpected demand increases driven by stay-at-home orders in many of our key markets. These costs have normalized in Fiscal Year 2021. |
