In the fourth quarter, we grew our revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share sequentially and compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Order trends in the fourth quarter remained firm across the majority of our markets, as we ended the quarter with a book-to-bill of 1.06 and a record level backlog of $150.5 million."
The Company's fourth fiscal quarter 2021 net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders were $6.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020. Included in the fourth fiscal quarter 2020 was tax expense of $1.7 million, primarily related to the acquisition of Dynamic Systems, Inc. ("DSI") and other discrete tax items.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders were $20.2 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared to $10.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in the twelve fiscal months ended December 31, 2020. Included in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was tax expense of $1.7 million, primarily related to the acquisition of DSI and other discrete tax items.
The fourth fiscal quarter 2021 adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $7.7 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $5.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $25.6 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $18.0 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
Change in Business Strategy and Reporting Segments
In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 we formally adopted a new operationally diversified structure and strategy, under which each of VPG's business segments maintains and deploys specific go-to-market strategies, technical expertise, capital requirements, and acquisition opportunities. As a result, we organized our business into three new reporting segments: Sensors, Weighing Solutions, and Measurement Systems.
Mr. Shoshani said: "We are excited to announce this next evolutionary step for VPG. We believe the timing is right for this change given the convergence of a broadening set of new applications with our expanding set of precision measurement solutions capabilities. Our change in strategy and structure will enable us to capture emerging opportunities driven by development of higher functionality in our customers' end products in semiconductor test and production, consumer technology, electrification, increased safety testing, and regulatory requirements, among others."
For the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, and on a go-forward basis, the Company is reporting its results in three new reporting segments: Sensors, Weighing Solutions, and Measurement Systems.
The Sensors segment is comprised of precision resistors and strain gages, including our advanced sensors.
The Weighing Solutions segment is comprised of the force sensors, on-board weighing, and process weighing business lines.
The Measurement Systems segment is comprised of steel mill manufacturing productivity solutions (KELK), new metal alloy development systems (Dynamic Systems Inc.), data acquisition systems (Pacific Instruments) and safety testing solutions (Diversified Technical Systems).
Segment Performance
The Sensors segment revenues of $34.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 increased 7.1% from the prior year of $31.9 million and increased 11.2% sequentially from $30.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in our sales of precision resistors in the test and measurement and other markets, partially offset by lower sales in the avionics, military and space market. Sequentially, the increase in revenues reflected higher precision resistor sales in the test and measurement and avionics, military and space markets, and an increase mainly in our advanced sensors product line, primarily in our consumer-related markets.
Gross profit margin for the Sensors segment of 32.1% (or 34.8% adjusted to exclude the impact of $0.9 million of start-up costs related to our new advanced sensors facility) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, was lower compared to 37.5% ( or 38.1% adjusted to exclude the impact of COVID-19) in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, and higher compared to 31.1% (or 34.3% adjusted to exclude the impact of $1.0 million of start-up costs related to our new advanced sensors facility) in the third fiscal quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted gross profit margin* was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates, wage increases, and labor inefficiencies, partially offset by an increase in volume. Sequentially, adjusted gross profit margin* was higher than the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in volume, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates, wage increases, and labor inefficiencies.
The Weighing Solutions segment revenues of $32.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 increased 8.5% from $29.5 million in the prior year and 4.5% from $30.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in our OEM customers in the construction equipment market and an increase in our process weighing product line, partially offset by lower sales of our on-board weighing product lines. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher sales in the process weighing product lines, partially offset by lower sales in our on-board weighing product lines.
Gross profit margin for the Weighing Solutions segment was 34.0% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, an increase compared to 33.3% (or 33.5% adjusted to exclude the impact of COVID-19) in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, and a decrease compared to 37.2% (or 37.6% adjusted to exclude the impact of COVID-19) in the third fiscal quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in adjusted gross profit margin* was primarily due to higher volume. Sequentially, adjusted gross profit margin* decreased primarily due to an unfavorable product mix, reduction of inventory, and higher material costs, partially offset by an increase in volume.
The Measurement Systems segment revenues in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 of $23.8 million increased 69.7% from $14.0 million in the prior year and increased 15.6% sequentially from $20.6 million. The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Diversified Technical Systems, Inc. ("DTS") and higher KELK and DSI steel-related sales. The sequential increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher KELK steel related sales and DTS products.
Gross profit margin for the Measurement Systems segment was 54.7% (or 56.8% adjusted to exclude the $0.5 million of purchasing accounting adjustments related to the DTS acquisition) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, compared to 49.5% (or 47.2% adjusted to exclude the purchasing accounting adjustments related to the DSI acquisition and $(0.3) million impact of COVID-19) in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, and compared to 52.8% (or 59.2% adjusted to exclude the $1.3 million of purchasing accounting adjustments related to the DTS acquisition) from the third fiscal quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in adjusted gross profit margin* was primarily due to higher revenue coming from DTS, which was acquired on June 1, 2021. The sequential decrease in adjusted gross profit margin* was due to unfavorable product mix and inventory reductions, partially offset by higher volume.
Impacts From the Global COVID-19 Pandemic
As of February 15, 2022, all of the Company’s facilities are operating without limitations with the Company implementing COVID-19 best practices with respect to working conditions and enabling some employees to work remotely where possible. Nonetheless, given the impacts to date and the ongoing uncertainty concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing economic disruption may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results in future periods.
Near-Term Outlook
“For the first fiscal quarter of 2022, at constant fourth fiscal quarter 2021 exchange rates, we expect net revenues to be in the range of $83 million to $91 million,” concluded Mr. Shoshani.
*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
We define “adjusted gross profit margin" as gross profit margin before purchase accounting adjustments related to the DTS and DSI acquisitions, start-up costs related to our new advanced sensors facility, and the impacts of COVID-19 costs. We define "adjusted operating margin" as operating margin before purchase accounting adjustments, start-up costs, COVID-19 costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived-intangible assets, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. We define "adjusted net earnings” and "adjusted diluted net earnings per share" as net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders before purchase accounting adjustments, start-up costs, COVID-19 costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived-intangible assets, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, and associated tax effects. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization before purchase accounting adjustments, start-up costs, COVID-19 costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived-intangible assets, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, and foreign exchange gains and losses.
"Adjusted free cash flow" for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 is defined as the amount of cash generated from operating activities ($15.5 million), in excess of our capital expenditures ($5.9 million), net of proceeds, if any, from the sale of assets ($0.0 million). "Adjusted free cash flow" for the fiscal year of 2021 is defined as the amount of cash generated from operating activities ($33.5 million) in excess of our capital expenditures ($17.1 million), net of proceeds, if any, from the sale of assets ($0.2 million).
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because each presents what management views as our core operating results for the relevant period. The adjustments to the applicable GAAP measures relate to occurrences or events that are outside of our core operations, and management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides a consistent basis to evaluate our operating profitability and performance trends across comparable periods. These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedules and are more fully described in VPG’s financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q.
