Altra Industrial: Beneficial Outlook, And The Stock Appears Cheap

Altra Industrial Motion produces and markets electromechanical power transmission motion control products. I believe Altra will be able to improve its EBITDA margin figures, thanks to lean manufacturing techniques and strategic pricing initiatives. In my view, recent transactions and corporate reorganizations are helping the company in offering better financial figures, and so I rate AIMC a Buy. Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (AIMC) intends to improve its EBITDA margins thanks to strategic pricing initiatives and manufacturing techniques. Besides, if management continues to acquire other targets, revenue growth would likely remain elevated. Yes, there are some risks due to covenants and recession outside the United States. Still, the share price appears, in my view, cheap enough to justify a position in the stock. Company Background Altra produces and markets electromechanical power transmission motion control products. The company manufactures gear drives, precision motors, inductors, and many other devices in which reliability and precision are very important. Company's Website I researched Altra Industrial due to a $300 million stock repurchase program and a lot of M&A activity. Management noted these initiatives in a recent slide. Q1 2022 Earnings Slides With respect to the company’s mergers and acquisitions, let’s note that the number of targets in recent years appears impressive. As a result, the number of assets increased from less than $1.2 billion to around $4.12 billion. Besides, the amount of intangibles and goodwill accumulated also increased significantly. In my view, if management continues to be that ambitious, and the assets keep increasing, the demand for the stock may increase too. Ycharts Recently, Altra Industrial Motion demonstrated that it is ready to reshape by divesting parts that don’t represent the core of the business. As stated in the 10-K excerpt below, the company sold the Jacobs Vehicle Systems business segment in order to focus on highly engineered products. In my view, if management sells other segments, and reinvests in more growing and profitable targets, shareholders will likely profit. On February 8, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Cummins Inc., a leader in the heavy-duty trucking industry, to divest all of our issued and outstanding equity interest in our entities which collectively constitute the Jacobs Vehicle Systems business segment. This divesture aligns with our strategy to focus on highly engineered products in the motion control and power transmission markets. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as an exhibit herewith. Source: 10-k In my view, recent transactions and corporate reorganizations are helping the company in offering better financial figures. Recently, management decided to increase the sales guidance and the expected adjusted EBITDA for the year 2022. Q1 2022 Earnings Slides Analysts Estimates Are Also Optimistic Taking into account that investment analysts delivered a beneficial outlook, I believe that including some of their figures is necessary. Estimates delivered by analysts include median sales growth of 3% and 2024 sales close to $2024 million. Expectations for 2022, 2023, and 2024 also include an EBITDA margin of 20% to 21% and operating income of 18%. Marketscreener.com Market estimates are beneficial with respect to Altra’s FCF/Sales figures. The ratio stands between 8.7% and 11.53% with capital expenditures of approximately $51-$53 million. Balance Sheet As of March 31, 2022, Altra Industrial Motion reported cash of $183 million, $4.1 billion in assets, and an asset/liability ratio of 1x-2x. In my view, the company’s financial situation appears pretty much under control. 10-Q The company’s long-term debt is equal to $1.39 billion, which does not seem small. With that, let’s note that Altra Industrial reduced its net debt from 3.8x in 2019 to 2.3x in 2022. In my view, if Altra continues to reduce its leverage, the financial risk may diminish, which could lead to an increase in the demand for the stock. 10-Q Q1 2022 Earnings Slides Competitive Scene The power transmission motion control market is quite fragmented. Technavio reports that there are a number of competitors of different sizes Cangro Industries Inc., C-Flex Bearing Co. Inc., Custom Machine and Tool Co. Inc., E and E Special Products LLC, Electromate Inc., Forbes Engineering Sales Inc., MinebeaMitsumi Inc. (MNBEY), Poklar Power Motion Inc., and Servo2Go.com Ltd. Altra is a global player with a broad product offering, which contributes to a market share advantage over Altra’s peers. In my view, the company’s Altra Business System is one of the best competitive advantages. It allows the company to offer continuous improvement in lean manufacturing and outstanding tools. Management talked about the system in the last annual report: ABS incorporates a management philosophy with integrated practices that focus on employing best-in-class tools, knowledge and expertise to drive continuous improvement in lean manufacturing, leadership and growth objectives, further enhancing our ability to achieve our aggressive strategic objectives. Source: 10-k Collaborations With Customers, Lean Manufacturing Could Push The Stock Up To $55-$56 I am optimistic about Altra’s ability to develop new products. In particular, Altra will likely develop new revenue opportunities thanks to collaborations with customers that were already announced in the annual report (see 10-K excerpt below). More products will likely lead to more revenue growth. We focus on developing new products across our business in direct response to customer requirements. Our extensive application-engineering know-how drives both new and repeat revenue opportunities, supported by a substantiated history of innovation, with over 800 patents granted and pending worldwide. In addition, we also plan to expand our customer collaboration initiatives by continuing to move up the technology spectrum, providing more advanced product, software and service solutions. I also believe that Altra Industrial will be able to improve its EBITDA margin figures thanks to lean manufacturing techniques and strategic pricing initiatives. Let’s note that the company’s operating plan (as per 10-k) included several other initiatives that would please investors: We believe we can continue to improve profitability through cost control, overhead rationalization, global process optimization, expanded implementation of lean manufacturing techniques and strategic pricing initiatives. Our operating plan, executed through our manufacturing centers of excellence and supported by ABS, provides additional opportunities to consolidate purchasing processes and reduce costs by sharing best practices across geographies and business lines. Source: 10-k Valuation I assumed sales growth of 3% from 2024 to 2026 and an EBITDA margin of 2023-2026. Also, with an operating margin around 17%-18%, I obtained 2026 EBIT of $387 million and 2026 EBITDA of $451 million.

Altra Industrial Motion Hit Hard By Adverse End-Market Exposures And Near-Term Margin Weakness

Altra shares have significantly underperformed, and I believe the company's exposure to heavy vehicles, wind power, and short-cycle markets may explain some of the weakness. Margin leverage will be a challenge in the near term, as profitable markets (Chinese trucks) are weak and price actions lag input cost inflation. Selling Jacobs makes sense from a long-term strategic standpoint, but I'm surprised the company didn't get a higher multiple for a very profitable business. Altra is clearly in the doghouse, but revenue growth of around 4%, EBITDA margins in the high-teens to low-20%'s, and FCF margins in the low double-digits can support a meaningfully higher share price.

Altra Industrial Motion Not Just A Play On Recovery Themes

Altra beat second quarter sell-side expectations, but came up a bit short on margins with cost/supply chain headwinds; relative to peers, the results were very much in line. Altra is seeing strong demand in most of its markets, including factory automation, transportation, and material handling, and automation and renewables demand should have legs. Margin improvement remains high on the to-do list, with a meaningful gap in the underlying profitability of PTT and A&S, but opportunities to improve PTT further. Few industrial stocks are obviously cheap, but Altra should have near-term upside to around $70/share, and mid-to-high single-digit long-term annualized potential that's a little better than the average industrial.
