Summary:
Our fourth quarter 2021 was our highest order quarter ($460.9 million) in our history (with or without Big LNG) resulting in record full year orders ($1,676.1 million) and December 31, 2021 record ending backlog of $1,190.1 million. We continue to see broad-based demand across our product categories and geographies, reflected in three out of the four quarters of 2021 setting new historical order records. The addition of 99 new customers in the fourth quarter 2021 brought the full year 2021 total new customers to 402, with 37% in EMEA & India, 29% in North America, 24% in China and 10% in rest of the world. Additionally, broad-based demand is reflected in our 70 orders in the fourth quarter 2021 that were each above $1 million (which we call “mega orders”), resulting in 226 of these individual mega orders for the full year 2021. Strong order activity has continued, with January 2022 being our highest January order month in our history. Yesterday, we received a second limited notice to proceed from Baker Hughes on Venture Global Plaquemines Phase 1 work, which is an additional order for $9 million.  

Additionally, the fourth quarter and full year 2021 were our highest sales quarter and year in our history ($378.9 million and $1,317.7 million, respectively) despite the supply chain, logistics, inflation and labor challenges well-documented economy-wide. Fourth quarter sales increased 21.3% when compared to the fourth quarter 2020 (an increase of 32.0% when excluding Big LNG revenue which was $25.4 million in the fourth quarter 2020).

Fourth quarter 2021 reported non-diluted EPS of $0.34 included one-time items related to acquisition deal-related costs, integration costs, costs of refinancing our revolving credit facility, startup costs at new facilities in our footprint (organic) as well as benefits from the mark-to-market and gain on our investments. When excluding these items, fourth quarter 2021 adjusted non-diluted EPS was $0.73, contributing to our full year 2021 reported non-diluted EPS of $1.66 and record high adjusted non-diluted full year 2021 of $2.84.

The fourth quarter 2021 was consistent with our expectations of reported operating income as a percent of sales of 5.4% and adjusted operating income as a percent of sales of 8.7% as pricing and surcharge actions gradually catch up to pre-price increase backlog shipping. Additionally, we were able to accelerate shipments on more of our pre-pricing backlog in the fourth quarter 2021, which further supports our expectation that gross margin as a percent of sales should return to approximately 30% during the second half of 2022. Price actions and cost reduction activities continued throughout the fourth quarter 2021 and into 2022. Since July 1, 2021, we have implemented four distinct overall price increases as well as two surcharges (specifics can be found in the supplemental presentation on slides 8 and 9). In addition, in the fourth quarter 2021 we eliminated free freight on volume purchases, began charging storage fees and increased our surcharge that was initially put in place in the middle of the third quarter 2021 from 10% to 15%. This surcharge will remain in place until we see meaningful tempering of material costs in our three primary raw materials – carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. The fourth quarter 2021 was in line with our outlook that material would become more available and that costs would not materially increase or decline in the period. Based on recent indicators, we expect the global supply chain to gradually improve throughout 2022.

Consistent with our expectations, we generated cash from operating activities of $20 million in the fourth quarter 2021. When adjusted for one-time impacts, adjusted free cash flow was $34 million (including adjustments and net of capital expenditures of $16 million, which included our decision to accelerate our capacity expansion progress in our SriCity, India facility, Tulsa flex manufacturing location and robotics). This reflects our seasonality of the fourth quarter of the year typically being the highest free cash flow quarter within any given year as well as the beginning of our intention to reduce the safety stock in inventory that had been strategically built throughout 2021.

Record orders of $460.9 million in the fourth quarter contributed to record December 31, 2021 backlog of $1,190.1 million, representing continued broad-based demand.

Record fourth quarter 2021 orders of $460.9 million was a 31.6% sequential order increase over the third quarter of 2021. There were no Big LNG orders booked in full in the fourth quarter 2021 or anytime throughout the year; we received engineering release on two of the U.S. Gulf Coast Big LNG projects that we expect to move to Final Investment Decision (“FID”) in 2022, at which time the full orders would be booked. Additionally, in December 2021, demonstrating that liquefaction demand continues to increase, we booked over $120 million of orders related to four liquefier awards with four different customers – two utility-scale LNG projects in the United States, one small-scale bioLNG project for a European customer, and one hydrogen liquefaction plant in a new geography.

Each of our end market applications within the Specialty Products segment had full year 2021 order growth above 15% compared to 2020, and total Specialty Products full year orders of $648.6 million were a 132.3% increase over 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 Specialty Products orders of $182.3 million included hydrogen and helium orders of $85.4 million, including a 15 ton per day hydrogen liquefier and 19 hydrogen trailers with five of these sold for use in South Korea. For the full year 2021, we received orders for 62 hydrogen trailers, compared to a prior record of 26 ordered in 2020. This activity contributed to full year hydrogen and helium orders of $282.1 million, a record year and a 640% increase over the full year of 2020.

Continuing on the trend of trailers, for the full year 2021 we sold a total of 594 trailers, a 64.5% increase over the full year of 2020 (361 trailers). Additionally, orders for fueling stations set new records both in the fourth quarter 2021 as well as the full year, with 48 stations sold in the fourth quarter 2021 and 92 sold in the year, an increase of 29.6% over the full year of 2020. These trends continued into the first quarter 2022, with 13 additional stations booked between January 1, 2022 and February 15, 2022 as well as 109 additional trailer orders booked in that same period.

Food & beverage full year 2021 orders were 49.2% higher than the full year 2020, and fourth quarter 2021 food & beverage sales hit record highs. We anticipate continuing record order levels in food & beverage in 2022, with ongoing restaurant footprint growth and specific projects such as our national account, Chick-Fil-A, doing refurbishment work to upgrade over 100 stores with our tanks, beginning this month. We expect additional cannabis growth resulting from continued market acceptance of cannabis and the movement to larger grow houses. Fourth quarter 2021 cannabis orders were a record.

“We expect broad-based demand for our products to continue throughout 2022, and when coupled with the anticipated Big LNG cycle kicking off in early 2022, we expect meaningful growth for our business,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s President and CEO. “Coupling that growth in our higher margin businesses with our pricing and cost reduction activities results in a clear path to our targeted margins in the second half 2022 even when considering the inflationary environment in which we are operating. We continue to aggressively manage cost and supply chain pressures through permanent and temporary pricing actions and have over 150 cost reduction, productivity, automation and capacity projects in flight.”

Record fourth quarter 2021 sales of $378.9 million contributed to record full year 2021 sales of $1,317.7 million.

Fourth quarter 2021 sales of $378.9 million were driven by record sales in both Cryo Tank Solutions and Specialty Products. Cryo Tank’s record sales were the result of records in all three of the Cryo Tank’s product categories (storage equipment, mobile equipment and engineered tanks & systems) while Specialty Products had record sales for the quarter in hydrogen, cannabis, water treatment and food & beverage. As a reminder, the fourth quarter 2020 included approximately $25.4 million of Venture Global Calcasieu Pass sales while the third and fourth quarter 2021 had no associated Big LNG revenue. Full year 2021 sales were $1,317.7 million. Excluding sales from the Big LNG project in the respective periods, revenue increased over 20% when compared to full year 2020.

Continued progress on pricing and cost actions support 2022 margin outlook.

Supply chain challenges, inflationary impacts and team members out with COVID-19 continued to be challenges in the fourth quarter 2021. We continued to take further pricing and cost reduction actions within the quarter to progress faster against our lagging cost to price backlog. We implemented two additional price increases in the fourth quarter 2021 and increased our temporary surcharges which are expected to cover our additional costs on new orders. Specifics include:

• We had anticipated material cost plateauing in the fourth quarter 2021 and beginning to decline as we head into the first half of 2022; our view remains consistent with that perspective. Within the quarter and as compared to the end of the third quarter 2021, carbon steel material costs decreased more than 10%, aluminum was essentially flat, while stainless steel increased ~7%. Pricing increases met or exceeded cost increases for new orders in backlog in the quarter.
• Logistic costs, including availability of drivers and trucks remained a challenge. In response, we are favoring local sourcing versus over-the-sea vendors, as well as being flexible in delivering our own gas for our shops when force majeures are put into effect (which initially ended in early October 2021 but began again in the Southern United States from our gas supplier the first week of January 2022 and remains in place today). While additional logistics costs had a net negative margin impact of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter 2021, generally we did not miss shipments as the result of the logistics situation, and we expect negative variance to diminish in the first quarter 2022 as the result of eliminating free freight for volume purchases.
• During the fourth quarter 2021, we had 1.7% of our U.S. production labor out with COVID-19 (2.4% in the month of December 2021) yet it did not meaningfully impact our sales in the fourth quarter 2021. Eight of our global manufacturing sites had 100% on-time delivery in the fourth quarter 2021.

In addition to pricing actions, we continue our organic cost reduction activities including expanding robotic welding, streamlining components on specific bills of material, in house painting for transports and skids for water treatment, and standardizing on a pre-made chassis for mobile units (specific project examples and savings can be found in the supplemental presentation on slide 10). These productivity projects in addition to our sourcing and back-office actions total anticipated annualized savings of $28.9 million, with such savings anticipated to be staggered throughout 2022.

Big LNG projects progress toward FID in 2022, small-scale LNG activity is very active and LNG infrastructure demand continues to grow; all with a constructive backdrop for oil & gas spending.

This is the first time in our history where Big LNG prospects, small-scale LNG commercial pipeline and LNG infrastructure demand are all increasing at the same time, resulting from the supply/demand intersection as well as increasing public sector support for and acceptance of LNG.

While the third quarter 2021 provided confidence in progress toward FID for at least three of the Big LNG projects, the fourth quarter 2021 activity on these projects further accelerated with strong global pricing and long-term fundamentals supporting these North American infrastructure projects. Not only were we actively involved in the start-up processes at Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass location, we also were issued another patent for our IPSMR® process technology, covering the process system itself and have been awarded numerous foreign patents in the IPSMR® technology field. Additionally, IPSMR® and IPSMR+® have been qualified by another major international energy company, TotalEnergies.

• We continue to expect Venture Global Plaquemines Phase 1 (10 million tonnes per annum (“MTPA”)), which we anticipate will include approximately $136 million of Chart content to proceed to FID in the first half of 2022. In the fourth quarter 2021, we received a $1 million first release on engineering work (Limited Notice to Proceed, “LNTP”) on this project and yesterday we received a second engineering release on the project of $9 million.
• Cheniere, whose Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project we anticipate will include approximately $375 million of Chart content also released us on engineering work in December 2021, and we anticipate a full notice to proceed in 2022.
• Tellurian Driftwood Project Phase 1 (11 MTPA), which we anticipate will include over $350 million of Chart content (none of which is in our backlog) continues to progress toward their intent to proceed to construction in early 2022.

We were awarded approximately $80 million of orders for three small and utility-scale LNG liquefaction projects with three different customers the last week of 2021, contributing to our total of seven liquefier orders (three LNG and four hydrogen/helium) in the full-year 2021, the most liquefiers booked in our history. And we believe this is just the beginning of the small-scale trend; our commercial pipeline of small, utility-scale and regas potential projects totals over $1.5 billion (with over 200 potential projects at various stages of progress), and we anticipate there will be at least one of these orders booked in the first half of 2022. And not to be forgotten, the third pillar of our LNG offering, LNG infrastructure, continues to show growth, evidenced by record orders and sales in the full year 2021 for both LNG fueling stations and LNG over-the-road vehicle tanks.

We continue to invest organically and inorganically for capacity, automation, manufacturing optimization as well as in our ESG solutions for the “Nexus of Clean” – clean power, clean water, clean food and clean industrials.

There continues to be public and private sector support, focus and investment in sustainable solutions. In the fourth quarter 2021, we closed on the acquisition of Earthly Labs, which is the world leader in installations of small-scale carbon capture. Earthly Labs booked our first winery install at Trefethen Winery, our first distillery (Big Storm Distillery), our first New Zealand installation and our first United Kingdom customer Hempworth Brewery. We expect the Canadian and UK markets to meaningfully grow for small-scale carbon capture, addressing the shortage of CO2 in these markets.

Clean water is also a growth area. Our ChartWater™ platform, consisting of AdEdge and BlueInGreen process technologies with Chart equipment, posted record orders, backlog & sales in both the fourth quarter 2021 as well as the full year of 2021. Yesterday we were awarded our first water project in India. The project is over $6 million of our scope and is funded and awarded under the Water Supply Scheme by the Drinking Water and Sanitation Division Garhwa, Jharkhand.

We continue to make organic capacity, productivity and automation investments, details of which can be found on slide 11 in the supplemental presentation. We anticipate spending approximately $50 million to $55 million in capital expenditures in 2022, driven by investments to replicate production lines in strategic locations, continuing to implement additional automation across our factories and expanding manufacturing capacity in India, Germany and the United States.

Throughout 2021, we strategically decided to increase our on-hand inventory balance as the result of increases in material costs and the frequently discussed availability challenges of materials. This decision resulted in lower than typical free cash flow in 2021. We are pleased with this decision as we were and are able to meet our customers’ demand requirements. While we will continue to carry higher than typical inventory levels in 2022 to meet the broad-based demand in an ongoing difficult supply chain environment, we anticipate that free cash flow for 2022 will reflect the tempering of these challenges as the year progresses as well as the timing of sales from backlog.

2022 Outlook Reconfirmed.
Considering our record order year in 2021, record order quarter in the fourth quarter 2021 and record backlog as of December 31, 2021, as well as visibility to our strongest ever commercial pipeline of potential work, we reinforce our anticipated 2022 full year sales outlook range of $1.70 billion to $1.85 billion. This outlook does not include any additional or new Big LNG projects (although orders are expected in the first half of 2022); it does include the engineering work which began for two Big LNG projects. Note that the timing of our first quarter 2022 sales are seasonally in line with a typical Chart year, where the first quarter is the lowest of the year given the Chinese New Year, customer capital spend behavior (the first quarter is typically sequentially lower than the prior fourth quarter) and high COVID-19 absences in the first five weeks of 2022. Sales are expected to sequentially increase throughout the year. Details on our 2022 sales outlook can be found in the supplemental presentation on slides 23 and 24. Associated adjusted non-diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $5.25 to $6.50 on approximately 35.6 million weighted shares outstanding and assuming a 19% effective tax rate. We anticipate the first half of 2022 will include a margin drag from historical levels from the ongoing macro challenges but increasingly be offset as the year progresses by the positive impact from actions we have taken to date.
