*For the year ended December 31, 2022
Gross margin improved for the 14th consecutive year, from 38.8% in 2021 to 39.3% in 2022. TTI EBIT increased 0.8% to US$1.2 billion with margin up slightly to 9.1%. Net Profit declined 2.0% to US$1.1 billion due to higher interest expense. Earnings per share declined 2.0% to US58.86 cents. The Group generated free cash flow of US$329 million, with a tremendous improvement in the second half. Working capital to sales finished the year at 21.2% compared to 20.9% a year ago. Importantly, days of finished goods inventory declined 3 days to 113 days at year end.
TTI’s Power Equipment business, representing 93.0% of total sales, grew 5.5% in local currency. MILWAUKEE grew 21.8% in local currency, offsetting declines in our consumer and floorcare businesses. In the Power Equipment business, TTI generated low double-digit organic growth in Europe and ROW along with positive growth in the core North American business.
The Board is recommending a final dividend of HK90.00 cents (approximately US11.58 cents) per share. Together, with the interim dividend of HK95.00 cents (approximately US12.23 cents) per share, this will result in a full-year dividend of HK185.00 cents (approximately US23.81 cents) per share, same as last year.
Mr. Horst Pudwill, Chairman of TTI, said, “With a strong increase in free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet, TTI is well positioned to further expand our global industrial, professional and consumer leadership position. We are highly confident in our ability to continue driving market share gains and to outperform the market in 2023.”
Mr. Joseph Galli, CEO of TTI, commented, “TTI is well positioned to outperform the market in 2023. We have not only right-sized our SG&A cost base, but also streamlined our fixed overhead position and prudently managed our production levels while developing a stream of innovative new products.”
