Helios Technologies, Inc. (HLIO) Q3 2020 Earnings Report, Transcript and Summary

Greetings, and welcome to Helios Technologies Third Quarter 2020 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host Ms. Tania Almond, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications for Helios. Thank you, Ms. Almond. You may begin.

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Helios Technologies third quarter and year-to-date 2020 financial results conference call. We issued a press release earlier today. If you do not have that release, it is available on our website at hlio.com. You will also find slides there that will accompany our conversation today. On the line with me are Josef Matosevic, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Tricia Fulton, our Chief Financial Officer. They will spend the next several minutes reviewing our third quarter results, providing a recap of our recently announced acquisition and amended credit facilities, then we will open the call up to your questions. Please note, we have moved some of the year-to-date information into the supplemental section of the presentation. If turn to Slide 2, you will find our Safe Harbor statement. As you may be aware, we will make some forward-looking statements during this presentation and also during the Q&A session. These statements apply to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from where we are today. These risks and uncertainties and other factors will be provided in our 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find these documents on our website or at sec.gov. I'll point out that during today's call, we will discuss some non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful in evaluating our performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of comparable GAAP with non-GAAP measures in the tables that accompany today's slides. With that, it's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Josef.

Thank you, Tania, and good morning, everyone. Please turn to Slide 3, and I will summarize our highlights for Q3. We all know that COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and there is still much uncertainty in the market and low visibility with some customers. As I stated last quarter, our objectives to this pandemics are to stay very close to our customers, focus on disciplined execution; continue to generate strong cash flow and to navigate into a strategic position for growth, as markets recover. We want to thank all of our Helios team members for such great work throughout this pandemic. They have been managing through COVID, taking care of our customers, enhancing operational efficiencies, maximizing our supply chain, completing due diligence on Balboa, successfully amended our credit facilities, all while maintaining their regular duties. We have a very high performing team and once again, thank you. This quarter we have delivered revenue results that exceeded our expectations, expanded gross margins and better than expected decremental operating margin. Our businesses are very agile and continue to quickly adjust to rapidly changing demand in our markets. We continued to demonstrate our strength in generating cash this quarter and realized $37 million of cash from operations. Year-to-date, we have reduced our net debt by over $50 million. This financial flexibility is enabling us to make the acquisition of both Balboa Water Group, we announced two weeks ago. It is a perfect fit for our Electronic segment and Helios overall. The acquisition positions us well for growth and aligns completely with our Vision-2025 strategy. Please turn to Slide 4 and I will recap the highlights of the acquisition. Balboa is an innovative market leader in the electronic controls with proprietary and patented technology, with AC power capabilities within the health and wellness industry. Balboa strengthened Helios with leading control solution with a full suite of integrated products; to utilize a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with a low-cost manufacturing supply chain; and they have solid historical organic growth. The purchase price for Balboa is $218.5 million, excluding synergies. This represents a multiple of 9.3 times 2020 estimated adjusted EBITDA. Balboa is accretive to adjusted EPS from day one and the cash return on invested capital is expected to exceed Helios’ weighted average cost of capital year one. Balboa fits within our M&A framework like a glove and this is just really our first step in a multi-year journey to build out our Electronics segment into a top industry player. Moving on to Slide 5 for some financial highlights in the quarter. Our sales this quarter were $123 million up sequentially supported by a strong increase in our Electronics segment, and continued growth in the Ag markets. Some of this strength was a timing issue as OEMs pushed to meet demand that has been created by COVID consumer buying. Our gross margin was up both year-over-year and sequentially reflecting our cost containment measures and continued efforts to improve productivity. Sales margins and earnings per share beat our internal expectations, as we increased sales faster than forecasted. We believe our full year 2020 forecast is still on track, which will result in Q4 as the trough instead of Q3. I will now turn the call over to Tricia to review the financial results and outlook in a little bit more detail. Tricia?

Thank you, Josef, and good morning, everyone. Let's turn to Slide 6 for a review of our third quarter consolidated results. While the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our consolidated year-over-year sales during the quarter, we delivered significant sequential growth from the trailing quarter. As Josef referenced on last quarter’s call, we said we believe the third quarter would be our trough in 2020. So these results definitely exceeded our expectations. Similar to last quarter, we saw a demand orders build through the quarter with September being a very strong month. In fact, our QRC and Enovation businesses had year-over-year growth in September. Sales from the APAC region continued to show strength, growing 9% in Q3 over last year, as we continue to increase our market share in China. EMEA sales for the quarter were down only 1% from the prior year, as the Ag market remained resilient. However, sales in the Americas were more heavily impacted by COVID-related softness in the quarter, down 27% compared with the prior year and 3% sequentially from the trailing quarter. This is largely due to a decline in the CVT business where the pandemic continued to impact our end-markets and our customers’ operations. On the positive note, our Electronics segment in the Americas region grew 60% sequentially from the trailing quarter. We have seen some recovery of demand in this segment with recreational vehicle and marine OEMs increasing their production to catch-up with higher consumer demand. Our strong pipeline of opportunities in the Electronics segment, along with the Balboa acquisition provides additional runway to drive growth in current and expanded markets in 2021 and beyond. Our operational profitability was strong again this quarter, as previous cost reduction and productivity improvements we implemented are producing results. Our decremental margin improved in the quarter to 29% on adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA margin declined just 20 basis points year-over-year and increased 80 basis points sequentially to 23.4%. Please turn to Slide 7 for a review of our Hydraulics segment third quarter operating results. Sales for the Hydraulics segment declined 11%, excluding the impact of foreign currency, which had a $1.9 million favorable impact. From a geographic perspective, excluding the effects of currency, sales grew 8% year-over-year for the quarter in the APAC region reflecting strength in China as we take market share. This was offset by a 36% decline in the Americas. The primary driver for the decline was softer end-market demand, due to the impact of the pandemic. EMEA sales decreased 4% excluding the impact of foreign currency. Gross profit was influenced by the lower sales volume for gross margins benefited from the cost management initiatives and was up 60 basis points from last year to 36.1%. Operating income was higher by $1 million, despite the lower top-line. Operating margin expanded 290 basis points to 19.2%. The higher margins were driven by some one-time expenses in the year ago period related to restructuring and disposal of an intangible asset, as well as effective cost management efforts and production efficiencies in the current quarter. As a result, FDA expenses were lower by $4.6 million or 22%. Please turn to Slide 8 for a review of our Electronics segment third quarter operating results. You will recall this segment has been heavily affected by the impact of COVID-19 this year. While third quarter revenue was down $3.6 million from last year, the segment is up $7.2 million or 42% sequentially from the trailing quarter. Many OEMs that had shut down operations for some period earlier this year are now working at full capacity to catch-up with the sharp increase in consumer demand for recreational vehicles and both. The increase in sequential demand is somewhat offset by the run-off from our intentional shift in customer base, which involve changes in certain contractual obligations. As previously referenced, we have implemented many cost saving measures and aligned our variable workforce to the lower, year-over-year demand and our profits were nonetheless impacted by the large and immediate volume declines. Gross profit declined $1.6 million, but gross margin expanded 40 basis points to 46.8%, benefiting from operating improvements within the business. Operating margin of 19.2% was up significantly over the second quarter level of 5.5%. As a reminder, this segment utilizes significant engineering effort related to future OEM projects and we continue to invest to support these customer-focused solutions. As we previously mentioned, we are encouraged to see significant improvement in Electronics segment orders in September, coming in higher than last year by double-digits. Please turn to Slide 9 for a review of our cash flow. Year-to-date, we generated $77 million of net cash from operating activities and $69.9 million of free cash flow, comparable with the same period in 2019. In our third quarter this year, we generated $36.7 million of net cash from operating activities, resulting in approximately $34.8 million of free cash flow. Year-to-date CapEx is $7.2 million, down significantly from last year when we were investing in the manufacturing consolidation project and the Engineering Center of Excellence. We are expecting CapEx to be in the range of $12 million to $15 million for the full year as we continue to invest in high priority and critical projects, but defer other investments until economic conditions improve. Regarding our capital structure on Slide 10, we reduced our gross debt by $27 million and our net debt by nearly $23 million in the third quarter. Year-to-date, we reduced our net debt by $50 million. At the end of the third quarter, we lowered our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to our target level of two times. At the end of the quarter, we had $32 million in cash, over $233 million available on our revolving credit facilities and a $200 million accordion, which was subject to certain pro forma compliance requirements. As Josef mentioned, last month we announced we would be using cash on hand in existing and amended credit facilities to finance the Balboa acquisition. On a pro forma basis, following the close of the transaction, we expect our 2020 estimated, year-end net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio to be approximately 3.4 times. We remain committed to a long-term net debt leverage target of less than two times and expect to continue to benefit from our strong cash flows to support debt reduction and our organic growth initiatives. We expect the acquisition to close in the fourth quarter. We just announced the closing of our amended credit facilities and wanted to highlight the details for you on Slide 11. Helios entered into a $900 million senior secured credit facility. The five year facility amends the company’s previous credit agreement and consists of a $400 million revolving credit facility, a $200 million term loan and a $300 million accordion feature, subject to lender approval. This increases our debt capacity from $700 million to $900 million. We are also pleased to note these amended credit facilities were oversubscribed with a very strong show of confidence from our banking syndicates. With that, let’s turn to Slide 12, where Josef and I will discuss our outlook for the remainder of the year and make our final remarks before opening it up for Q&A. We had a very strong Q3, which we previously thought would be the trough this year. Frankly, the pandemic has made forecasting more challenging and order timing more lumpy than normal. We have previously suspended our detailed guidance, but with two months of the year remaining, we wanted to provide our outlook on a couple of key line items for full year 2020 based on our view as of today. We believe we are on track to deliver revenue in the range of $485 million to $495 million; and adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 22% for the full year 2020, excluding any contribution from the Balboa acquisition. Josef, I will now turn it back to you for your closing remarks.

Thank you, Tricia. Last quarter, we said we would act on M&A opportunities that we see as critical to meeting our strategic goals. We are very excited to bring Balboa into the Helios family and the Electronics segment. The proprietary technology accelerates our ability to innovate, and the addition of Balboa expands and diversifies our addressable end-markets. We have a much larger strategic view of how we intend to grow the Electronics segment into a significant business that would be able to meet customers’ needs across a full spectrum of products, services, technologies and end-markets. This evolution will be through a combination of leveraging additional value streams, organic and inorganic growth, as we execute against our Vision-2025. Now, let's open up the lines for Q&A, please.

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Jeff Hammond with KeyBanc Capital. Please proceed with your question.

Hey. Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, Jeff.

Good morning, Jeff.

So my question is on the guidance and fourth – it looks like your EBITDA margins year-to-date are $23.2 million, you are getting to $22 million. That would imply pretty significant decrementals in the third quarter. I just want to understand that better if there is any nuances in that.

Yes. A lot of it’s just related to where we are from a volume perspective. We said that, our Q3 was stronger than we had expected on the top-line and you also saw that flow down into the margin. So, on a little bit lower Q4 numbers, we do expect to see stronger decrementals normal seasonality and now also with holidays.

Okay. And then, can you just update us on what the backlog looks like in Hydraulics? And where you think that is kind of on a year-over-year basis as you exit 2020?

Yes. We have returned to normal backlog levels in the businesses. We were able to work through the backlog that we had, specifically that we talked about in the CVT business, we were able to work through that in Q3 and now we are at normalized backlog.

Can you give us a number on what backlog is year-on-year exiting 3Q?

I knew you would ask that.

We don’t give order backlog numbers and we are going to continue that practice.

Okay. If I could sneak one more in, it’s just – the difference in the Americas, versus Europe and Asia were quite stark. And I am just wondering, why you think that’s so weak? And what particular end-markets are driving that weakness?

Yes. Jeff, so, I just got back from a couple weeks of kind of mini customer roadshow and just really get a good feel for where are we going. What’s the backlog. What’s the dealing into our retail distribution inventory and it just continues just to be a mixed bag. For an example, our Ag market went from resiliency to a very strong uptick here. And as we finished Q2, and got into Q3, we anticipated Q3 to be the trough and all of a sudden, you start getting phone calls. And Q3 turned up to be very strong. So, to give you a firm data point, it’s extremely difficult. Right now it’s seeing on the pause every single day. The other example would be on the construction side. We went from down to mix to strength. That all happened within four to six week of period. On the mining side, mining is really minimal for us, just kind of on the flattish side to low. In our recreational side, it’s very strong. Dealers are replenishing the inventory and we are really excited about that path going forward. So, just kind of the North American sites, internationally, Europe remains to be strong for us. I don’t see any concerns that that will deteriorate any time soon. And Asia is a growing segment for us. So, we are doing relatively well. So just kind of the best data points that feel right to us.

One other thing on the Americas, as you recall last year at this time, we were seeing extremely strong demand in the CVT business, especially in the Americas. And clearly, now with COVID, that demand is down a little bit. So, year-over-year, it’s a pretty tough comparison for that geography.

Okay. Thanks, so much.

Thank you, Jeff.

Our next question comes from Mig Dobre with Baird. Please proceed with your question.

Good morning everyone. Thanks for taking my questions.

Good morning.

I guess, I am trying to understand relative to your outlook when we are looking at two segments in the quarter, what would you say was better than expected? I mean, it sounds to me like the Electronics better than expected. But there might be more to the story than just the Electronics itself.

Yes. Certainly. So, clearly, Mig, Electronics obviously continued to strengthen with replenishment from a dealer standpoint. But you notice also nice packets on the CVT side, on the Hydraulics side that are adding to the strength of Q3 and continuing strength of the full year. And our QRC business unit did extremely well, but there was a nice contribution that market continues to grow and it just feels good to us. And Asia, Asia is contributing to the success. So, our hesitation of adding more and more color versus what we have already is just – we just don’t know. We anticipate again, Q3 to be trough and it turned out to be a very strong quarter for us. So balancing that demand with the supply is what we are working extremely close. So, that’s all is to the mix.

Well. The thing that I think I am confused about maybe kind of following up on what Jeff was trying to get at earlier is that, if you are sort of in like – in Electronics, I am exiting the quarter in September with orders being up double-digits is you are saying that construction in your Hydraulics business has gone from declining to flat to now improving. Mining is flattish. It sounds like you are feeling good about Ag. It sounds like you are feeling good about Europe. It sounds like you are feeling good about Asia. I am having a hard time equating your commentary, right, on the end-markets with your discussion about the fourth quarter now being the trough relative to the third. So, can you help kind of untangle this knot here? What’s going on?

So, in the Electronics side, I think we need to remember that Q4 is always the lowest quarter for that business, given that many of the OEMS do have seasonal shut downs related to the holidays. And that’s what we are seeing this year, as well. Even though, demand is very high, and we know that dealer inventory is on the recreational vehicle side are very low, we do still expect that we will see that normal seasonality on the Electronics side. On the Hydraulics side, I think, it’s a little bit related to some of the lumpiness that we talked about and how we are seeing orders coming in. Certainly in the Ag markets we are seeing some strong demand and we’ll get as much of that out the door as we can. But there is still a lot of lumpiness in what we are seeing on the Hydraulics side outside of Ag. So, we are hopeful that we’ll continue to see those orders come in a little bit more consistent manner. But I think it’s a difficult time for us to expect that.

Are you able to frame for us what the orders in Hydraulics look like for the segment as a whole in a quarter relative to the prior quarter? Or the orders have progressed through the quarter? I recognize there is lumpiness, but I am trying to understand sort of directionally, where we are heading with this business?

Yes. I think if we – we already stated that the QRC orders in September were the strongest that we saw and better than what we saw last year. Some of the construction comments that Josef made are specifically related to what we are seeing in QRC construction orders which kind of flipped between Q2 and Q3 from down to flat to up. Where we have more uncertainty I think it’s still on the CVT side, where distributors, some of them are working through inventory that was on the shelves and some of them are down on the inventory and they are placing stronger orders now. But I would say the CVT side is really where we are seeing the majority of the lumpiness and it’s kind of dependent on what distributor is working with what customer base in terms of order patterns are going.

Okay. Well, then my final question, on the cost structure itself and the implied decrementals are high, like it was pointed out earlier. So, I guess, the way I am going to ask this question slightly different, if you are expecting revenues to be down sequentially, is there any reason why SG&A would not follow a similar path? Do you have any elements of cost inflation excluding again the acquisition that you are working through if we lead that to the side, are there any elements of cost inflation in SG&A to be aware of? Thank you.

No, we expect FDA cost to be significantly different from what they have been over the last couple of quarters. I think where we are seeing the margin variability is, because of the lower top-line is the absorption of the fixed cost at the gross margin level.

Okay. Thank you,

Thank you, Mig.

Our next question comes from Josh Pokrzywinski with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Hi. Good morning, folks.

Good morning.

Hey, Josh.

So, I am going to try this again the – here a slightly different way from maybe Jeff. On the – if I look at the margin guidance for the fourth quarter, if I take a look at inventories, which have had a nice step down would suggest that there is no, like manufacturing variance at work here. So, maybe nothing behind the scenes on the absorption that would skew margins. If you were to have a month in the fourth quarter, November or December at this point, that would be a surprise, folks trying to get that before done before year end, et cetera. Would that – what would the incremental margin be on additional sales kind of outside the range to incremental margins kind of step up as you get above that range or into the higher end? Or is that kind of proportional across a wider band than the revenue?

Well, you can see from Q3 that we had strong margins when we had stronger than expected top-line. So, we definitely have leverage when we see increased revenue on the top-line. I think one of the things that’s a little bit difficult to predict within the quarter or to understand within the quarter is that, each of the business units has a different rate of absorption of fixed costs. There is clearly a higher fixed cost base overall in Hydraulics than there is on the Electronics side. And looking at where we are with revenues on the Hydraulics side in Q4, but even between QRC and CVT, the absorptions are different in how that occurs. So, I think that some of what’s come into play in my previous comment about gross margins in Q4.

Got it. That’s helpful. And then, kind of shifting over to Balboa, I understand from the comments earlier around immediate accretion there. Since that deal will close or presumably close before you folks update us next on anything. Any chance you could give us some kind of ballpark accretion and then the phasing within that if it’s fairly linear or how much it might build through the first twelve months thinking about things like seasonality and how that would impact, that would be helpful. We are coming up with some pretty punchy numbers on Balboa. So just want to make sure we have that kind of level set.

Yes. Certainly. So, look, a few datapoints in Balboa. I think it’s fair to say now that looking at their recent results here over the last two months, they had very strong results, not just at the top-line, but also in the bottom-line. And their backlog continues to go in the right direction, pretty much went from as expected to a little bit better than expected going forward. So, Balboa overall is positioned extremely well for us for 2021 and therefore we will see the accretion day one as mentioned earlier. So, definitely excited about it.

And from a comfortability perspective, what we are seeing of the business, especially coming out of COVID and now through the last few months is that, Balboa should be accretive overall to the Electronics segment at a margin level.

Got it. That’s helpful. Appreciate that. Thanks guys.

Our next question comes from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, Nathan.

Hi.

Maybe I’ll start with some cost questions. Can you remind us what the total cost number for 2020 is planned to be? What of that is temporary versus structural cost? And then, how that translates to incremental cost savings or cost returnings going into 2021?

The majority of the cost reduction efforts that we’ve taken throughout COVID are temporary. We estimated about 90% were temporary and 10% would be permanent. So I think, we will get some benefit when we return to the higher revenue levels that we were at pre-COVID. So we will get some benefit from that. But the majority of them have been temporary and are related to reduction of discretionary expenses, which includes trade shows and travel, because we just can’t do those right now. But certainly that’s something especially going into these new end-markets that we are talking about that we are going to be in front of customers a lot more when we are able to and coming out of COVID. So, we will see cost like that return to the P&L.

How does that inform your view of what incremental margins might be going into next year given the play of some of the temporary costs coming back in where everybody is going to have revenue growth next year, given the easy comparisons from 2020? How should we be thinking about incremental margins for the business in 2021 ex acquisition effects?

We are still working through our budget process at this point for 2021 and now we need to also consider how Balboa plays into that. We aren’t done with that process. So I’d rather not give a hard number right now on what those look like. It also is going to depend a bit on how we come out of COVID. When there is a vaccine. When things can pick up again from a commercial perspective. So I don’t really want to give a number quite yet. We’ll definitely provide that information when we give 2021 guidance.

Okay. Maybe one on the internal work that you guys have been doing here over the last 12, 18 months. There was some footprint consolidation, some disruption to the business in order to improve it. Can you talk about where you are in terms of ramping up the productivity as you moved assets around how you feel about where the supply chain is, those kinds of things. Is there still more to be done there or do you feel like you are in a good spot at the moment?

Well, I think, we will never be satisfied in this area, because our mindset is here to continuously improve our operations quarter-by-quarter and have this continuous improvement mindset. But, to answer your question with some data points here, I think our biggest areas of opportunities are clearly in the manufacturing and supply chain area. Traditionally, our businesses have been very loyal to the supply base, which is not – there is nothing wrong with that, but what you don’t get is, is any leverage broadly or globally. So in some cases, 90% of our supply chain is single source and we are going to take more advantage of some low-cost country. Now by adding Balboa to have a very stable supply base. So the supply chain area will clearly be a laser focus of ours going forward. On the manufacturing side, we are really now are in a position where we have the data that I was requesting to in terms of where are we in terms of our overall hours. What does it mean in terms of our throughput. What is our OEE and so and so forth. We do have this data and we do see areas that we can move the needle very nicely, not just in one business, but all of our businesses. So it’s just a matter of now, like Tricia said, incorporating those numbers into the budgetary process, get that communicated, get us aligned and then start executing. But overall, yes, we do have opportunities.

Just a little bit of a follow-on to that, Nathan, I think you saw, we were able to produce some really strong margins in Q4 and Q1, Q4 2019 and Q1 of 2020 as we came out of the project on the CVT side and then COVID hit. So we do anticipate that we’ll be able to continue to generate those strong margins once we get the top-line back up. We already have very strong margins on the Electronics side of the gross margin levels. They’ve done an excellent job of maintaining those even on lower volumes. And then, in the QRC business, we do focus on the OEE that Josef mentioned and at the revenue levels that we are at right now and the OEE we are producing very strong margins in that business, as well.

Great. Thanks very much. I’ll pass it along.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Joe Aiken with William Blair. Please proceed with your question.

Hi. This is Joe on for Brian. Thanks for taking my questions.

Good morning, Joe.

I want to just – good morning. I want to just start on, kind of looking at the typical seasonality of the business. You typically see, kind of pretty material step-up in the first quarter from the fourth quarter. Given that you are now expecting the fourth quarter to be the trough and can you kind of maybe just talk about what you are seeing so far in the quarter from some of your end-markets? And do you think there is potential for the first quarter to kind of snap back even harder than historically, compared with the fourth quarter?

Well, Joe, if we would know this answer, we probably would have talked about this. It’s – and this genuine comment here. We have stayed extremely close to the market and to the customers. That was one of the reasons why we went on the road and just looking at these trends and I know, I may sound like a broken record here. So, I apologize, but that’s the fact. It’s just a mixed bag. You have some distributors, some dealers who are just doing extremely well and they are placing orders left and right. You have others that are struggling. Do we expect Q4 to fall off the cliff? Absolutely not. Looking at the first month here, it’s – it looks, as planned based on what we just outlined in our full year guidance here. So to say, could get an opportunity that something snaps here and a couple key dealers star stronger replenishment. If that happens, we are prepared with our inventory levels. And we have material to support that. We just don’t know, Joe.

Yes. But we are getting good anecdotal information from, specifically distributors in the Americas that they are seeing pockets start to open up. I would say, that it’s been slow to see it the orders overall. But certainly, as Josef pointed out, there is certain customers who are going gaining busters in certain areas or end-markets and then there is some that are just not quite there.

Yes. Sorry, Joe. Europe continues to strengthen and then, two days later you get a news later that the COVID has significantly increased in certain areas of Europe and then you have shutdowns. So, we just want to put any information out there that’s not accurate and factual. So that’s what you are hearing here from us. But Asia continues to do extremely well.

Got it. Thanks for the color there. And on the Electronics business, I think you said orders were up double-digits in September. You are kind of expecting the typical seasonality here in the fourth quarter. Has that order strength kind of continued early in the quarter? And I know, on the previous call, you mentioned that some of the new program rollouts that you are expecting could potentially start in the fourth quarter and heading into the first quarter. Can you kind of update us on that?

Yes. Question number one, Joe, the answer is, the patterns has continued so far into the first part of Q4 here. In terms of new NPI rollouts, the team is working through this with the customer base. We originally anticipate it. We will have some gains there in Q4. I do believe now that this is going to shift more into the Q1 or Q2 of next year. But nothing has been cancelled. So, another one of those things, the phone call could come in, we are ready to deliver. And we just need to get beyond this COVID and start shipping our products.

Okay. Got it. Thanks very much.

Our next question is from Jeff Hammond with KeyBanc Capital. Please proceed with your question.

Hey. Just one last one on the fourth quarter margin. Should we think of fourth quarter EBITDA margins as 22% not the full year? I am just still struggling with the - I mean, the decrementals seem like they should be in that kind of 40% range and that would get you to 22% versus something much lower to get you to 22% for the full year.

We are looking at 22% for the full year, which would mean that the Q4 EBITDA margins are lower.

Okay. Okay. And then, just on Balboa, can you talk about what the normal seasonality of that business is as we think about modeling it?

Yes. I don’t know that we can look at this year as a normal seasonality, at all for that business. We are seeing some strong orders coming in. They’ve had strong orders starting in Q2 as we came out of COVID and we are still seeing that going into 2021 or end of 2020 and into 2021 with the backlog that they have that Josef already referenced. So, I am not sure, we are going to see a normal seasonal pattern next year, either because of the COVID impact. So, until we own the business, then I can get a little bit more feel for what that might look like in a normal cycle. I don’t have a strong answer for you.

Okay. And then, just the last one on Europe, we’ve been seeing some countries start to shut down again any kind of risks or any noise around some of your plants over there?

Yes. So, as it stands as of today, we do not anticipate that we would be impacted with our product shipping either locally or internationally.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

You are welcome, Jeff.

Our next question is a follow-up from Mig Dobre with Baird. Please proceed with your question.

Thank you for taking the follow-up. Going back to Electronics, can you guys remind us what the impacts from this run-off on the intentional customer shift was for the year, especially now that you’ve kind of put out a full year revenue outlook?

Yes. So, certainly, we’ve had some impact on a year-over-year basis each quarter this year. It’s been a relatively significant impact if you compare on a full year 2019 to 2020. I hesitate to give a full number or an actual number to you at this point, given that we are still participating with that customer and making shipments of other products that are not related to the item that we did the intentional shipped with. But it’s significant mid-single-digit revenue, as a percent.

That’s helpful. And, are we pretty much going to be through this at the end of the year? Or will this stretch into 2021, as well?

Well, for the specific product that we are talking about, so there will be some minimal impact between 2020 and 2021 as that continues to vain down. But it will not be as significant as what we saw in 2019 to 2020. It will probably be – it could be labeled as insignificant.

Okay. And then, again, going back to new product introductions or new platforms that you are on. Is there a way to help us understand how much help you would getting from something like this? Because, as we look into 2021, this segment has got so many moving pieces. I mean, there is the end-markets that are going have different – there is this run-off that is going away and then, you’ve got the new product intros, as well. So, any framework you can provide on the new product intros?

Yes. So, maybe, look, that is a significant bright spot for us here and we are really super excited on all the fronts you just mentioned. In terms of new NPIs, the funnel is full. The product is largely developed. The great news is, nothing has been canceled from a customer standpoint. It’s just a matter of getting that launched and start to contribute towards the top-line growth organically and profitably. On the other hand, you have post-close of Balboa. We have this very neat opportunity to leverage both product lines and expand our addressable markets and are really laser-focused on the diversification of those product lines, because there is a significant need. We have spent quite a bit of time, Mig, here with three targeted customers that we are in discussions with to fill the pause to explain the new product offering and explain the differentiations and how can we work together, the appetite is extremely strong. Are we going to start that testing process here no later, I want to say it in Q1 of 2021. So you have those value streams going on. But then you also have the replenishment on the recreational sector as the dealers start getting strong here and get more to a normal, sub-normal level at the inventories. So, just that it will look, just a really exciting journey going on in the Electronics segment. We are going to invest into a common Engineering Center of Excellence to leverage the Balboa and Enovation platform. And continue this strong innovation R&D backbone on developing the next breakthrough technologies that will carry us over the next five years. So, really excited, Mig.

Appreciate that. Last question for me, I am curious how you are thinking about pricing into 2021, Tricia, historically years, on the Hydraulics business, years where the markets had volume growth, you typically put through a price increase. So I am curious if that’s your intent at this point for 2021? And also, for Electronics, how you are thinking about that, as well? Thanks

Yes, the customers – the OEM customers that we deal with which are significant on the Electronics side, as well as on the faster side. Those are longer term contracts. So the pricing is pretty well set on those. Where we have some option for pricing I think is, across all the businesses more at the individual sale or distributor level. We have not had significant price increases in the CVT business since mid-year 2018. So there is probably some opportunity there. We were honestly not in a position to be able to talk about pricing when we were behind in shipments. We have now caught up to that. So there is probably is some opportunity at least to look at certain products where it makes sense for us to change pricing.

Okay. Thank you.

Thanks, Mig.

Thank you. At this time, I would like to turn the call back over to management for closing comments.

Thank you for joining us today. We have a great company and we are proud of the accomplishments we have made as a team over the last few months and look forward to our future growth. We appreciate very much your interest in Helios and look forward to updating all of you on our fourth quarter full year results in early March. Have a great day, and stay healthy.

Thank you. Take care.

Thank you. This concludes today's teleconference. You may now disconnect your lines at this time and thank you for your participation.
