MILWAUKEE, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal Rexnord Corporation RRX is hosting its 2024 Investor Day today at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City beginning at 8:30 AM ET. A live webcast of the event will be accessible on the Company's investor relations website at investors.regalrexnord.com. CEO Louis Pinkham, CFO Rob Rehard, and other members of the executive leadership team will discuss the Company's strategic growth objectives, including plans to accelerate profitable organic sales growth, continue to expand adjusted gross margins and adjusted EBITDA margins, grow free cash flow, and drive significant potential value creation through various capital deployment initiatives. In conjunction with today's event, the Company is maintaining its previously announced annual 2024 guidance, including sales of $6.2 billion, GAAP diluted earnings per share in a range of $3.70 to $4.10, and adjusted diluted earnings per share* in a range of $9.40 to $9.80. However, based on recent performance, the Company now believes that the lower half of the outlook range is more likely. The Company is also introducing the following financial targets for the 2024 to 2027 period: Organic net sales growth at a CAGR of 2% to 5%Adjusted gross margins** rising to ~40% exiting 2025 and remaining steady thereafterAdjusted EBITDA margins** rising to ~25% exiting 2025 and remaining steady thereafterAdjusted diluted earnings per share** growth at a low double digit CAGRAdjusted free cash flow margins** in the low- to mid-teens by 2027Net leverage** declining to ~2.5x in 2025 and to 1.5-2.0x by 2027 Commenting on the Company's three-year outlook, CEO Louis Pinkham said: "We see many opportunities to create significant value for shareholders by capitalizing on the strengths of our enterprise, which over the last five years we have dramatically transformed, through organic and inorganic actions, to be increasingly durable, high-margin, and cash generative. As we will discuss in some detail at our investor meeting today, our teams are working on a wide range of compelling initiatives to accelerate organic growth. We also see a clear path to top quartile gross, EBITDA and cash flow margins, ROIC expansion, and meaningful opportunities to create value through de-levering and, over time, inorganic growth. In short, we believe Regal Rexnord presents a highly compelling value creation opportunity, underpinned by lots of controllable execution."

Non-GAAP Measures (Unaudited) (Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data) We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In this release, we disclose certain non-GAAP forward-looking information, including adjusted targets such as gross margin, EBITDA margin, diluted earnings per share, free cash flow margin and net leverage. We believe that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our financial targets. The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure would require the Company to predict the timing and likelihood of future restructurings and other charges. Neither these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure is not provided. In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we use the term "organic sales growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. "Organic sales" refers to GAAP sales from existing operations, excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition and excluding any sales from divested businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit, and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period's organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods.
