Mueller Industries, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Earnings

Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI) announces results for the second quarter of 2022. (All comparisons are to the prior year quarter.)

  • Operating Income of $268.9 million versus $157.8 million
  • Net Income of $206.6 million versus $108.8 million
  • EPS of $3.65 versus $1.92
  • Net Sales of $1.15 billion versus $1.01 billion

Second Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights:

  • The 13.6 percent increase in net sales was driven by strong growth in our value added businesses, combined with higher selling prices across all businesses.
    • COMEX copper averaged $4.34 per pound during the quarter, two percent lower than the second quarter of 2021.
    • Our Industrials Metals group volume, measured in pounds, declined 4 percent, largely attributable to customer inventory re-balancing as lead times improved.
    • Our U.S. copper tube volume was up slightly and remains solid; however, influenced largely by economic softening outside of the U.S., our international tube sales declined 17 percent, against a very strong second quarter in 2021.
    • Our value added businesses grew 33 percent.
    • Divestitures in 2021 reduced net sales by $31 million as compared with the prior year quarter.
  • Cash at quarter end was $202.5 million, up $114.6 million year to date.
    • Cash generated from operations during the period was $142 million.
    • Net debt was zero.
    • The current ratio at quarter end was 3.2 to 1.

Regarding the quarter performance and outlook, Greg Christopher, Mueller’s CEO said, “At the mid-way point in the year, our businesses continue to deliver excellent results. The second quarter was our twelfth consecutive quarter in which operating income grew over the prior year period. Rising interest rates, inflationary pressures and continued geopolitical disruptions will create short term challenges, but notwithstanding, we believe that Mueller is well positioned for continued long term growth.

"The majority of our businesses remain at capacity along with healthy backlogs. We anticipate that some tempering in our primary market segment, building construction, will occur, but that underlying demand will nevertheless remain at levels we consider very healthy for our businesses.

"Our cash generation is strong, and we have zero net debt along with a committed, untapped credit facility. Reinvestment in our businesses to be the lowest cost producer remains a top priority, and we are well equipped to take advantage of strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise.”
