HUBBELL REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2021 AND

FULL YEAR RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

C&I Lighting reported as discontinued operations for current and all prior periods presented
Q4 diluted EPS from continuing operations of $1.81; adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $2.07
Q4 net sales from continuing operations +20% (organic +16%)
FY 2021 diluted EPS from continuing operations of $6.66; adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $8.05
FY22 diluted EPS from continuing operations expected range of $7.75-$8.25; adjusted diluted EPS of $8.75-$9.25

SHELTON, CT. (February 3, 2022) – Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE:HUBB) today reported operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the previously announced closing of the divestiture of Commercial & Industrial Lighting, the Company is reporting the results of that business as discontinued operations in the current and all prior periods presented.

"Hubbell delivered a strong finish to 2021," said Gerben Bakker, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Fourth quarter sales growth of 20% was bolstered by 11 points of price realization, as well as previously completed acquisitions and year-over-year volume growth as the Company continues to successfully navigate a dynamic supply chain environment. Our end markets remain strong, as grid modernization and electrification continue to drive customer demand for Hubbell's reliable and efficient critical infrastructure solutions across our Utility and Electrical segments. We exited the year with another quarter of significant orders growth and backlog visibility."

Mr. Bakker continued, "Operationally, mid teens year-over-year operating profit growth in the fourth quarter represented solid execution. While material inflation, ongoing supply chain disruption, and increased freight and logistics costs continue to present significant headwinds, we accelerated our productivity and price initiatives to exit the year price/material neutral."

Mr. Bakker concluded, "With a strong operational finish to 2021, a favorable end market setup and a more focused portfolio, we believe Hubbell is well positioned to continue generating differentiated returns for our shareholders over the long term. In the near term, our 2022 outlook anticipates attractive double digit year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share, and we remain confident in our ability to execute."

Certain terms used in this release, including "Net debt", "Free Cash Flow", "Organic net sales", "Organic growth", "Restructuring-related costs", "EBITDA", and certain "adjusted" measures, are defined under the section entitled "Non-GAAP Definitions." See page 8 for more information.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The comments and year-over-year comparisons in this segment review are based on fourth quarter results in 2021 and 2020.

Electrical Solutions segment net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $489 million increased 22% from $402 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Organic sales increased 21% in the quarter while acquisitions added 1%. Electrical Solutions segment operating income in the fourth quarter was $63 million, or 13.0% of net sales, compared to $41 million, or 10.3% of net sales in the same period of 2020. Adjusted operating income was $67 million, or 13.7% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $45 million, or 11.2% of net sales in the same period of the prior year. Increases in adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin were primarily due to higher volumes, price realization in excess of material inflation, and productivity and restructuring benefits, partially offset by higher logistics and supply chain costs.

Utility Solutions segment net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 19% to $612 million compared to $515 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2020. Organic sales increased 13% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, while net M&A added 6%. Total Utility T&D Components sales increased approximately 26% and Utility Communications and Controls sales increased by approximately 2%. Utility Solutions segment operating income in the fourth quarter was $71 million, or 11.6% of net sales, compared to $73 million, or 14.2% of net sales in the same period of 2020. Adjusted operating income was $86 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $88 million, or 17.1% of net sales in the same period of the prior year. The decreases in adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin were primarily due to material cost inflation in excess of price realization and higher logistics and supply chain costs, partially offset by higher volumes and productivity and restructuring benefits.

Adjusted fourth quarter 2021 results exclude $0.26 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted fourth quarter 2020 results exclude $0.26 of amortization of acqusition-related intangible assets as well as $0.01 due to a pension settlement charge. Results from discontinued operations are presented on a GAAP basis, and include amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and separation costs as well as a one-time tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $233 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 versus $156 million in the comparable period of 2020. Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was $206 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 versus $121 million reported in the comparable period of 2020.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

For the full year 2022, Hubbell anticipates organic sales growth from continuing operations of 8-10%. The impact on sales of M&A and foreign exchange are expected to be approximately neutral.

Hubbell anticipates 2022 GAAP diluted earnings per share expectations in the range of $7.75 to $8.25 and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") from continuing operations in the range of $8.75 to $9.25. Adjusted EPS excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which the Company expects to be approximately $1.00 per share for the full year. The Company believes Adjusted EPS is a useful measure of underlying financial performance in light of our acquisition strategy.

The earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share ranges are based on an adjusted tax rate of 22 to 22.5% and include approximately $0.30 of anticipated restructuring and related investment. The Company expects full year 2022 free cash flow conversion of 90 to 100% of adjusted net income.

NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS

References to "adjusted" operating measures exclude the impact of certain costs, gains or losses. Management believes these adjusted operating measures provide useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and an understanding of our results of operations without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Adjusted operating measures are non-GAAP measures, and include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude, where applicable:

Amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions arise from the allocation of the purchase price using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, "Business Combinations." These assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames, and patents, as reported in Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under the heading "Total Definite-Lived Intangibles," within the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020. The Company excludes these non-cash expenses because we believe it (i) enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of our results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from our non-GAAP results, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated.
Losses recognized in the second quarter of 2021 from the early extinguishment of long-term debt and the disposition of a business. The Company excludes these losses because we believe it enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance and facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods.
Pension charges including settlement charges in 2020.
Income tax effects of the above adjustments which are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless otherwise noted.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the items noted above and also excludes the Other income (expense), net, Interest expense, net, and Provision for income taxes captions of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, as well as depreciation and amortization expense.

Net debt (defined as total debt less cash and investments) to total capital is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is a useful measure for evaluating the Company's financial leverage and the ability to meet its funding needs.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate cash without reliance on external financing. In addition, management uses free cash flow to evaluate the resources available for investments in the business, strategic acquisitions and further strengthening the balance sheet.

In connection with our restructuring and related actions we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incur restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as "restructuring and related costs", which is a non-GAAP measure.

Organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure, represent net sales according to U.S. GAAP, less net sales from acquisitions and divestitures during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture, respectively, less the effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange. The period-over-period effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange is calculated as the difference between local currency net sales of the prior period translated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the same local currency net sales translated at the prior period exchange rate. We believe this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. When comparing net sales growth between periods excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. For example, because net sales from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the first year following the acquisition, net sales from such acquisition are reflected as organic net sales thereafter.

There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not present complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported GAAP financial results, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the tables below.
