Briefing

Air Products reported Q4 fiscal year 2022 results, including GAAP EPS of $2.56 and Adjusted EPS of $2.89.

Air Products' Q4 results showed a mixed performance with increased sales driven by higher volumes and pricing, but net income decreased due to higher costs, including the loss on the Russia business divestiture and the equity affiliate impairment, and unfavorable currency impacts. Adjusted EPS increased by 15% year-over-year.

  • Adjusted EPS was $2.89, up 15 percent year-over-year.

Forward guidance

Air Products expects full-year fiscal 2023 adjusted EPS of $11.20 to $11.50, up nine to 12 percent over prior year adjusted EPS. For the fiscal 2023 first quarter, adjusted EPS is expected to be $2.60 to $2.80, up five to 13 percent over fiscal 2022 first quarter adjusted EPS.

Tailwinds

  • Full-year fiscal 2023 adjusted EPS guidance of $11.20 to $11.50, up nine to 12 percent over prior year adjusted EPS.
  • Fiscal 2023 first quarter adjusted EPS guidance of $2.60 to $2.80, up five to 13 percent over fiscal 2022 first quarter adjusted EPS.
  • Expects capital expenditures of $5.0 - $5.5 billion for full-year fiscal 2023.
  • Focus on serving energy, environmental, and emerging markets.
  • The Company has two growth pillars driven by sustainability

Headwinds

  • It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of events that may impact future GAAP EPS or the effective tax rate.
  • Unable to reconcile forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities due to uncertainty in investment activity timing.
  • The projected percentage increase in adjusted EPS for full year fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2023 first quarter is calculated using adjusted fiscal 2022 results in order to present this information on a consistent basis using the calculation of adjusted EPS that will be applied in fiscal year 2023.
  • The company is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company’s forecasted range of adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis to a comparable GAAP range.
  • Actual non-service pension impacts depend in part on external factors that are impossible to predict, such as volatility in equity and debt markets.
