Briefing

Chart Industries reported third quarter earnings, facing near-term cost pressures while demonstrating strong demand and backlog growth.

Chart Industries' Q3 2021 results reflect challenges from supply chain, labor, and logistics, offset by strong demand and backlog growth. Sales increased by 20.2% year-over-year, but margins were impacted by rapidly accelerating costs. The company is taking actions to address these cost pressures and anticipates improved profitability in 2022.

  • Orders reached $350.2 million, leading to a record backlog of $1,102.2 million.
  • Sales increased 20.2% year-over-year to $328.3 million (organic increase of 13.4%).
  • Reported EPS was $0.42, with adjusted non-diluted EPS at $0.81 inclusive of all investment activity.
  • Full year 2021 sales guidance is $1.31 billion to $1.33 billion, and adjusted non-diluted EPS is expected to be $2.75 to $3.10.
