BELFB - Bel Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results
WEST ORANGE, N.J., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bel Fuse Inc . (Nasdaq: BELFA and BELFB) today announced preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Net sales of $158.7 million compared to $177.7 million in Q3-22. Non-GAAP adjusted net sales (which exclude raw material expedite fee revenue) were $157.7 million in Q3-23, down from $168.3 million in Q3-22
- Gross profit margin of 35.0%, up from 29.0% in Q3-22
- Net earnings of $19.4 million versus $16.5 million in Q3-22
- Adjusted EBITDA of $29.9 million (18.8% of sales), up from $27.3 million (15.4% of sales) in Q3-22
- Backlog level of $408 million at September 30, 2023
“We are pleased with our improved financial performance this quarter on a sales base that was in line with our expectations,” said Daniel Bernstein, President and CEO. “For several quarters, the team has successfully executed on our plan to focus Bel’s engineering efforts, manufacturing resources and sales team on those products that align with our financial targets and goals.
“Our diversity in products and end markets, coupled with ongoing cost management and strategic revenue discipline, enabled us to achieve higher gross margin dollars on a lower sales base. The 600 basis point margin improvement was largely led by favorable product mix, with a higher volume of products going into aerospace and defense, eMobility and rail applications as compared to last year’s third quarter. Further, our low-margin expedite fee revenue was $1.0 million in Q3-23, down $8.4 million from its level in Q3-22. We are proud of the efforts of our global team in achieving long-term strategic value for our shareholders in an everchanging macroenvironment,” concluded Mr. Bernstein.
Farouq Tuweiq, CFO, added “Coupled with many cost containment initiatives underway in the third quarter, Bel also made solid progress on our previously-announced facility consolidations. These projects were substantially complete by the end of the quarter, with final transitions on track for the end of 2023. These consolidation projects are expected to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $6.9 million. Of this, $1.6 million is expected to be realized in Q4-23 with the full run rate of cost savings expected throughout 2024.
“Looking at the remainder of the year, based on information available today, our current estimate for the fourth quarter of 2023 is GAAP net sales in the $146-$154 million range. Expedite fee revenue amounted to $10.5 million in Q4-22 and is not expected to occur at comparable levels in Q4-23. Gross profit margins for Q4-23 are expected to be roughly in line with Q3-23 levels. We are focused on continued progress in areas under our control, while making strategic investments within the business to support Bel’s future growth,” concluded Mr. Tuweiq.
Non-GAAP financial measures, such as Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, exclude restructuring charges, gains on sales of business an d properties, a nd certain litigation costs. Non-GAAP adjusted net sales exclude expedite fee revenue. Please refer to the financial information included with this press release for reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures and our explanation of why we present Non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Non-GAAP measures identified in this press release as well as in the supplementary information to this press release (Non-GAAP adjusted net sales, Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Our Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain unusual or special items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We may use Non-GAAP financial measures to determine performance-based compensation and management believes that this information may be useful to investors.
