Key Data (Source: Company Reports)

Acquired Intelligent Machine Solutions

The company, on 20 August 2021, stated that it has acquired Intelligent Machine Solutions (iMS) that deals in manufacturing industrial robotics and automation solutions. Notably, the addition of iMS expands as well as complements the company’s Rollon® linear motion product range with larger as well as heavy-duty applications, like seventh-axis robotic transfer units and gantry systems.

Outlook

The company expects to achieve 2021 GAAP earnings per diluted share of $5.00 to $5.30 and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $5.15 to $5.45. It has also guided 2021 revenue growth of around 19% at the midpoint in total compared to 2020.  

The company is hopeful of delivering record revenue and earnings per share in 2021 despite of the fact that the expected supply chain and other cost pressures could persist through the balance of the year.

Key Risks

The bearing industry is highly competitive that could lead to significant pricing pressure on its bearings products and could hurt its financial results. Further, it is exposed to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations as a significant portion of its net sales, costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in currencies other than the USD.
