“Enerpac posted solid second quarter results despite the broader macro environment and an overall slowdown in the industrial sector,” said Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group’s President & CEO. “We were particularly pleased with the margin expansion, as we made further progress improving operating efficiency and SG&A productivity.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $138.4 million compared to $142.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of 2.5%. Organic sales, excluding the disposition of Cortland Industrial and the impact of foreign currency, increased 1.8% year-over-year, with product sales up 2.4%, partially offset by a 0.8% service revenue decline. Net sales growth for the Industrial Tools & Services (IT&S) reportable segment of 3.0%, with organic sales growth of 2.8%, was partly offset by a year-over-year decline at Cortland Biomedical, which comprises the Other operating segment.
Gross margin expanded 200 basis points year-over-year to 51.6%, driven by benefits from pricing actions, a favorable sales mix, and the disposition of Cortland Industrial. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $41.1 million were $13.9 million lower year-over-year because of lower ASCEND transformation program expenses, lower restructuring charges, and a continued focus on managing discretionary spending. Adjusted SG&A was 28.4% of sales, down slightly from 28.5% of sales in the year-ago period.
Operating profit increased 111% year-over-year to $29.5 million, with an operating profit margin of 21.3%, up from 9.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating profit increased 9.7% to $31.5 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 22.8%, a 260 basis point expansion over the prior-year period.
Second quarter fiscal 2024 net earnings and diluted EPS were $17.9 million and $0.33, respectively, compared to $7.2 million and $0.12, respectively, in the year-ago period.
Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $34.3 million compared to $32.2 million in the year-ago period, achieving an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.8%, up from 22.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to a use of $7.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase in cash from operations was primarily due to the timing of annual incentive compensation payments and lower ASCEND transformation payments as well as higher net earnings. In addition, the Company continues to drive improvements in working capital management and inventory efficiency.

IT&S Results Comparisons
Second quarter fiscal 2024 net sales for IT&S were $134.8 million, ahead 3.0% year-over-year with organic growth of 2.8%. Organic growth was driven by pricing actions and favorable mix in product sales, partially offset by a slight decline in service. The segment’s operating profit margin increased 450 basis points to 27.8% and adjusted operating profit margin improved 230 basis points to 28.9%.
Corporate Expenses from Continuing Operations
Corporate expenses were $7.8 million and $17.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The year-over-year decline was driven by significantly lower ASCEND-related charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted corporate expenses(2) of $7.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were flat compared to the prior year.
(2) Excludes a favorable restructuring charges adjustment of $0.1 million and $0.6 million of ASCEND charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $0.4 million of restructuring charges, $9.5 million of ASCEND charges, $0.2 million of leadership transition charges, and $0.2 million of M&A charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

(2) EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before financing costs, net, income tax expense, and depreciation & amortization. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA are calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings, operating profit or operating cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it regularly reviews these performance measures. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors and lenders, and are presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

These measures are not calculated based upon GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Enerpac Tool Group companies. For all reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures, the summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding. With respect to the earnings per share reconciliations the impact of share dilution on the calculation of the net earnings or loss per share and discontinued operations per share may result in the summation of these components not equaling the total earnings per share from continuing operations.
