SALES

In Q4, sales were up +17.8% year-on-year on a reported basis and up +12.3% on a constant and same-day basis.

In the fourth-quarter, Rexel posted sales of €4,802.3 million, up +17.8% on a reported basis, including:

• A positive currency effect of €152.7 million (i.e. 3.7% of Q4 2021 sales), mainly due to the appreciation of the US and Canadian dollars;
• A positive net scope effect of €164.9 million (i.e. 4.0% of Q4 2021 sales), mainly resulting from the acquisitions of Mayer and Horizon Solutions in the US and Trilec in Belgium;
• A negative calendar effect of (3.0)%.
  
  

In Q4 2022, sales were up +12.3% on a constant and same-day basis (or +9.3% on a constant and actual-day basis), with growth well balanced between volumes and selling price increases on non-cable products in all geographies.

• The same-day sales growth of +12.3% in the quarter resulted from a +6.0% rise in volumes, an increase of +7.2% in the selling price of non-cable products and a decrease of (0.8)% on copper-based cable prices.
• While volumes were robust in the quarter both in Europe, growing by +7.2%, and in North America up +6.4%, they were down (3.3)% in Asia-Pacific, notably due to New Zealand and the pandemic situation in China in December.
• Same-day sales growth benefited from the boost in electrification in four product categories (Solar, Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure, HVAC and Industrial Automation), which grew by +30% in Q4 and represented 20% of sales at Group level. This is fully in line with the Power Up 2025 ambition to grow those businesses at twice the pace of the ED business.
• We posted further growth in digitalization in all three geographies, with digital sales now representing 26.7% of sales, up +308bps compared to Q4 2021. Trends were positive in Europe (37.2% of sales, an increase of +169 bps), Asia-Pacific (up +16bps, to 5.5% of sales) and North America (17.4% of sales, an increase of +390 bps) with the strong progression in the US fueled by the company's transformation journey.

In addition, we have also further implemented our digital strategy and more specifically:

• Accelerated the development of our User Interface, User experience and customer experience by improving content, visibility, navigation, page flow…;
• Scaled up AI solutions deployment to fuel growth and performance, extending Next Best Offer and the Pricing module, to two additional countries.

In FY 2022, Rexel posted sales of €18,701.6 million, up +27.3% on a reported basis. On a constant and same-day basis, sales were up +14.1%, including positive impacts from volume of +4.3%, non-cable copper prices of +8.6% and change in copper-based cable prices (+1.2% vs. a positive impact of +5.2% in 2021).

The +27.3% increase in sales on a reported basis included:

• A positive currency effect of €668.8 million (i.e. +4.6% of FY 2021 sales), mainly due to the appreciation of the US and Canadian dollars;
• A positive net scope effect of €1,081.1 million (i.e. +7.4% of FY 2021 sales), mainly resulting from the acquisition of Mayer and Horizon Solutions in the US and Trilec in Belgium, offsetting the disposals of businesses including Rexel Spain and Portugal;
• A broadly neutral calendar effect of (0.3)%.
  
  

Europe (51% of Group sales): +16.0% in Q4 and +13.9% in FY, on a constant and same-day basis

In the fourth-quarter, sales in Europe increased by +13.3% on a reported basis, including:

• A negative currency effect of (0.4)%, or €(8.7) million, mainly due to the depreciation of the Swedish Krona and the British pound against the euro;
• A negative scope effect of (0.8)%, or €(16.8) million, from the net effects between the acquisition of Trilec in Belgium and the disposals of Rexel Spain & Portugal;
• A negative calendar effect of (1.4)%.
  
  

On a constant and same-day basis, sales were up +16.0%, including a positive volume contribution +7.2% and a price effect of +8.9%.

In Europe, electrification trends continue to support our growth, with our three product families (solar, EV charging infrastructure and HVAC) growing by more than 60% (contributing for 810bps of same-day sales growth in Europe in Q4 22) and representing more than 18% of sales.

• Sales in France (38% of the region’s sales) posted solid +15.1% growth, outperforming the market in Q4 and FY. The quarter was driven by growth acceleration in all end-markets.
• Sales in Scandinavia (13% of the region’s sales) were up +13.5%, notably driven by industrial activity and strong demand in solar products.
• Benelux (12% of the region’s sales) was up +23.8%, with market outperformance in the Netherlands thanks to the very strong growth in Solar, EV and HVAC (36% of sales).
• Sales in Germany (10% of the region’s sales) were up +22.6%, with further market share gains. Demand is accelerating very strongly in solar (c. 60% of the country's growth) as a result of efforts to increase the country's energy independence.
• In the UK (8% of the region’s sales), sales were up +10.2%, despite lower contribution (-330bps in Q4 22) from projects with the Department of Education (school air filtration and CO2 equipment).
  
  

North America (42% of Group sales): +10.2% in Q4 and +16.3% in FY on a constant and same-day basis

In the fourth-quarter, sales in North America were up +27.7% on a reported basis, including:

• A positive currency effect of +10.1%, or €158.8 million, due to the appreciation of the US and Canadian dollars against the euro;
• A positive scope effect of +11.6%, or €181.7 million, from the acquisition of Mayer and Horizon Solutions in the US;
• A negative calendar effect of (5.3)%.
  
  

On a constant and same-day basis, sales were up +10.2%, including +6.4% from volume growth and +3.8% from price effect.

In North America, the four product families contributing to electrification grew c. 11% and represented c. 18% of sales (including Industrial automation for 12.6% of sales and Solar for 4.1%).

• In the US (82% of the region’s sales), sales were up +9.4% in Q4 22, driven by robust demand in the Commercial and Industrial end-markets, offsetting the declining trend in residential activity. The backlog remains very high, up +4% vs. Q3 2022 (or up c. 95% vs Q4 21), representing c. three months of sales.
  
  
• In Canada (18% of the region’s sales), sales grew by +14.0% on a same-day basis. The strong performance was notably supported by the Proximity end-market and Industrial activities (O&G and mining contributing for 240bps and 190bps respectively).
  
  

Asia-Pacific (7% of Group sales): +0.7% in Q4 and +3.9% in FY on a constant and same-day basis

In the fourth-quarter, sales in Asia-Pacific were up +0.8% on a reported basis, including:

• A positive currency effect of +0.8%, or €2.6 million, due to the appreciation of the Australian dollar and, to a lesser extent, the Chinese renminbi;
• A negative calendar effect of (0.7)%.

On a constant and same-day basis, sales were up +0.7%, including (3.3)% volume growth and +4.0% price effect.

• In the Pacific (54% of the region’s sales), sales were up +4.9% on a constant and same-day basis:
  
  • In Australia (83% of Pacific’s sales), sales were up +6.0%, thanks to the Industrial and Commercial end-markets. The performance was consistent with H1 22 growth after a very strong Q3 22 that benefited from a favorable comparable base (lockdown in Q3 21).

• In Asia (46% of the region’s sales), sales were down (3.8)% on a constant and same-day basis:
  
  • In China (87% of Asia’s sales), sales were down (2.6)%, impacted by Covid in December.

PROFITABILITY

Adjusted EBITA margin at 7.3% in FY 2022, up 118 bps compared to FY 2021

The +13.8% actual sales growth in FY 22 translated into gross margin improvement of +53 bps year-on-year, at 26.2% of sales, and an adjusted EBITA margin of 7.3%. The graph below details the +118 bps improvement in Adjusted EBITA margin:

For the graph, please open the pdf file by clicking on the link at the end of the press release.

The progression notably includes:

• A positive operating leverage impact of +156 bps, largely from our capacity to pass through price increases.
• A net positive non-recurring effect of circa +66bps as a result of:
  
  • A positive one-off Gross Margin gain on non-cable inventory price inflation for +95bps
  • A negative -29bps one-off effect from higher performance-linked bonuses, in a context of better-than-anticipated activity compared to our initial budget
• An opex inflation impact of -70 bps due to overall inflation of +4.1% including +3.7% in salary and +6.1% from other opex notably from increased Energy and fuel prices.
  
  

Restated for non-recurring items in both 2021 and 2022, adjusted EBITA margin was up circa 91 bps, supported by robust activity coupled with our more efficient organization. Those tailwinds more than offset overall opex inflation.

By geography:

• Europe:
  
  • Gross margin was up + 17 bps vs. FY 2021 at 27.7% of sales.
  • Adjusted EBITA margin was up +55 bps in 2022, at 7.7% of sales, benefiting from robust sales growth, offsetting investment in people, higher inflation in opex and negative country mix. The 7.7% adjusted Ebita margin 2022 includes c.75 bps of non-recurring impact from inventory price inflation on non-cable products, net of higher performance-linked bonuses.
    
    
• North America:
  
  
  
  • Gross margin was up +70 bps vs. FY 2021 at 25.6% of sales.
  • Adjusted EBITA margin was up +190 bps at 8.2% of sales, thanks to sales growth, pricing power and Mayer synergies. North America became the most profitable geography. The 8.2% adjusted Ebita margin 2022 includes c.60 bps of non-recurring impact from inventory price inflation on non-cable products, net of higher performance-linked bonuses.
    
    
• Asia-Pacific:
  
  
  
  • Gross margin was up +132 bps year-on-year at 19.1% of sales.
  • Adjusted EBITA margin was down -50 bps, at 1.9% of sales, due to lower activity and bad debt in China in a Covid context (-140bps impact on APAC's adjusted EBITA margin). The 1.9% adjusted Ebita margin 2022 includes c. 40 bps of non-recurring impact from inventory price inflation on non-cable products, net of higher performance-linked bonuses.
    
    

• At corporate level, adjusted EBITA amounted to €(31.5) million, in line with the normative level.
  
  

As a result, adjusted EBITA stood at €1,368.5 million, up +35.7%, in FY 2022 and reported EBITA stood at €1,344.8 million (including a negative one-off copper effect of €(23.7) million), up +39.5% year-on-year.

Focusing on the bridge from EBITDA to Reported EBITA:

• EBITDA margin was up +38 bps at 9.0%
• Depreciation of Right of Use stands at €(220.5) million, up versus last year, notably explained by the active acquisitions strategy
• Other depreciation and Amortization stood at €(115.4) million, implying 0.6% of sales, slightly lower than the 0.7% in 2021.
  
  

NET INCOME

Net income of €922.3 million in 2022

Recurring net income up +58.6% to €911.8 million in 2022

Operating income in the full year stood at €1,343.0 million, up from €911.8 million in 2021.

• Amortization of intangible assets resulting from purchase price allocation amounted to €(13.9) million (vs. €(7.3) million in 2021)
• Other income and expenses amounted to a net positive income of €12.1 million (vs. a net charge of €(44.6) million in 2021) and included:
  
  • €42.7 million net disposal gain related to sale of operations in Spain, Portugal and Russia

• €(10.9) million of acquisition and integration costs
• €(8.3) million related to abandonment of IT developments
• €(5.9) million of restructuring costs (vs €(5.6) million in 2021)

Net financial expenses in the full year amounted to €(119.4) million (vs. €(133.1) million in 2021), and can be broken down as follows:

• €(69.6) million in 2022 from financial cost before one-off expenses, change in fair value of derivatives and foreign exchange gains & losses compared to €(63.4) million in 2021. The increase is explained by higher average gross debt.
• €(46.5) million from interest on lease liabilities in 2022 vs €(40.4) million in 2021
• €(3.3) million in 2022 from others including one-offs, change in fair-value of derivatives, foreign exchange gains and losses, pensions vs €(29.3) million in 2021. The FY 2021 was affected by one-offs of €(22.6)m from the early repayment of the €500 million senior notes due in 2025 (coupon: 2.125%) completed at the end of May 2021 and the €600 million senior notes due in 2026 (coupon: 2.75%) completed in November 2021 refinanced by two Sustainability Linked bonds for €1bn maturing in 2028 at 2.125%.
• The effective interest rate decreased to 2.29% in 2022 compared to 2.42% in 2021, largely from the refinancing offsetting the rise in interest rates.

Income tax in the full year represented a charge of €(301.2) million (vs. €(180.8) million in 2021) mainly reflecting the improvement of pre-tax income. In 2022, income tax expense benefited from the €12.8 million positive effect of the non-taxable gain on the disposal of Rexel Spain and Portugal while income tax expense in 2021 was impacted by a €26.5 million one-off gain related to the deferred tax asset recognition on tax losses carried forward, mainly in the UK and Germany.

• Effective tax rate stood at 24.6% in 2022 (25.7% excluding one-offs) compared to 23.2% in 2021 (26.6% excluding one-offs). The decrease in effective tax rate adjusted for one-offs mainly reflects the drop of the French tax rate.
  
  

Net income in the full year was €922.3 million (vs. €597.6 million in 2021).

Recurring net income amounted to €911.8 million in 2022, up +58.6% compared to 2021 (Appendix 3).

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

• The indebtedness ratio (Net financial debt/EBITDAaL), as calculated under the Senior Credit Agreement terms, reached its lowest level ever at 0.96x, significantly lower than the 1.37x at December 31, 2021.

Rexel will propose to shareholders a record-high dividend of €1.20 per share, to be paid fully in cash. This represents a payout of 40% of the Group’s recurring net income, in line with Rexel’s policy of paying out at least 40% of recurring net income.

This dividend, payable in cash on May 11, 2023 (detachment date on May 9^th), will be subject to approval at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in Paris on April 20, 2023.

Our record 2022 results put us well on track to achieve the 2022-2025 four-year objectives presented at our Capital Markets Day in June. That includes our financial targets as well as our capital allocation and business ambitions.

1. including 66bps of non-recurring items
   
   

In order to support our strategic roadmap, we announced today our purpose :

"Electrifying solutions that make a sustainable future possible"

Each of the words in our purpose statement resonates:

• “Electrifying” is a reference to electricity and electrification, but also to the passion of our teams.
• “Solutions” covers both products and services.
• “A sustainable future” notably refers to our ESG focus as well as new energies, innovation, digital advanced services are strong internal drivers.
• “Make possible” refers to our unique role in the value chain. We partner with suppliers and professionals to propose the best products and push new services to the market to help make the energy transition a reality.

Rexel recently announced three transactions to reinforce its portfolio and its local footprint in key regions. They include :

• Two acquisitions of quality businesses in North America : one in the US, with further market share gains and one in Canada, complementary to our existing footprint.
• The disposal of Rexel's activity in Norway.

The combined operations will contribute positively to our sales, earnings and Return On Capital Employed in year 1.

Acquisition of Buckles Smith Electric Company in the US

On January 5^th, Rexel US signed and closed the acquisition of Buckles Smith Electric Company, a regional industrial automation distributor, the last independent player in the region. Based in Santa Clara, California, the company generated USD150m of sales in 2022, through 6 branches and 153 employees.

Buckles Smith is a high-quality company with higher profitability than Rexel's North American average. This acquisition is highly synergistic with our other Rockwell specialized distribution territories as well as with our Californian operations. It strengthens our position in the region and allow us to gain further market share in California, the biggest addressable market in the US (c. 13% of the total US market).

Acquisition of Lineman’s Testing Laboratories in Canada

On January 17^th, Rexel Canada signed and closed the acquisition of Lineman’s Testing Laboratories, a leading provider of high-voltage electrical services and products to the utility and industrial markets. The company was founded in Toronto in 1958, has 63 employees and generated c. 25m of sales in 2022.

This acquisition will be a valuable complement to Rexel’s portfolio, notably for the utility market.

Disposal of operations in Norway

Rexel also announces the signing of the divestment of its operations in Norway to Kesko on January 27. Rexel’s activities in Norway, generating sales of approximately €250m in 2022, were less profitable than Group average and presented less strategic and value creation potential for the future. The completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of Norway’s competition authority.

Since January 1, 2021, through 10 transactions, Rexel has acquired c. €1.5bn of sales and it has carried out 6 divestments representing c. €0.5bn of sales, materially enhancing the Group’s growth and profitability profile and reinforcing its capabilities to address the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition and electrification trends.

Leveraging our transformation and enhanced efficiency, we target for 2023, at comparable scope of consolidation and exchange rates: 

• Same-day sales growth of between 2% and 6%
• An adjusted EBITA¹ margin of between 6.3% and 6.7%
• Free cash flow conversion² above 60%
  
  

¹ Excluding (i) amortization of PPA and (ii) the non-recurring effect related to changes in copper-based cable prices.

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in copper prices in connection with its distribution of cable products. Cables accounted for approximately 19% of the Group's sales and copper accounts for approximately 60% of the composition of cables. This exposure is indirect since cable prices also reflect copper suppliers' commercial policies and the competitive environment in the Group's markets. Changes in copper prices have an estimated so-called "recurring" effect and an estimated so called "non-recurring" effect on the Group's performance assessed as part of the monthly internal reporting process of the Rexel Group: i) the recurring effect related to the change in copper-based cable prices corresponds to the change in value of the copper part included in the sales price of cables from one period to another. This effect mainly relates to the Group’s sales; ii) the non-recurring effect related to the change in copper-based cable prices corresponds to the effect of copper price variations on the sales price of cables between the time they are purchased and the time they are sold, until all such inventory has been sold (direct effect on gross profit). Practically, the non-recurring effect on gross profit is determined by comparing the historical purchase price for copper-based cable and the supplier price effective at the date of the sale of the cables by the Rexel Group. Additionally, the non-recurring effect on EBITA corresponds to the non-recurring effect on gross profit, which may be offset, when appropriate, by the non-recurring portion of changes in the distribution and administrative expenses.
The impact of these two effects is assessed for as much of the Group’s total cable sales as possible, over each period. Group procedures require that entities that do not have the information systems capable of such exhaustive calculations to estimate these effects based on a sample representing at least 70% of the sales in the period. The results are then extrapolated to all cables sold during the period for that entity.
