KRATON PERFORMANCE POLYMERS, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER
2011 RESULTS
HOUSTON, TX. October 31, 2011Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. (NYSE: KRA), a leading global producer of styrenic block copolymers, announces financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
2011 THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
| Sales volume was 78 kilotons |
| Sales revenue increased 20% year-on-year to $402 million |
| Net income increased 54% year-on-year to $43 million |
| GAAP earnings were $1.33 per fully-diluted share |
| Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $71 million or 18% of sales revenue |
Although prices for raw materials such as butadiene continued to increase throughout much of the third quarter of 2011, Kraton again delivered strong financial results, reporting the second highest Adjusted EBITDA in the companys history, said Kevin M. Fogarty, Kratons President and Chief Executive Officer. During the third quarter the pace of raw material price increases moderated in comparison to the second quarter of 2011. As expected, our margins reflect the benefit from our price right strategy in response to rising raw material prices, Fogarty added. Our third quarter sales volumes were adversely impacted by continued customer destocking and a softening of demand, primarily in our Paving & Roofing end use and for less differentiated USBC grades in our Adhesive, Sealants and Coatings end use markets. However, the impact of lower USBC sales volumes was partially offset by a more favorable sales mix of higher-value HSBC and CariflexTM isoprene rubber products in our portfolio during the quarter, said Fogarty. Additionally, our innovation vitality index, as measured by the percentage of sales revenue generated from innovation-based sales, improved 100 basis points in the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2011, and our innovation-based sales volume for the same trailing twelve month period was up 13%. Although our industry is faced with near term uncertainty given challenges in the worldwide economy, we remain optimistic about the long term outlook for our business as we continue to focus on innovation and growth in sales of our higher margin Cariflex and HSBC products.

(1) | Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding restructuring and related charges, non-cash compensation expenses and loss on the extinguishment of debt. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is included in the accompanying financial tables. We use the first-in, first out (FIFO) basis of accounting for inventory and cost of goods sold, and therefore gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. In periods of raw material price volatility, reported results under FIFO will differ from what the results would have been if cost of goods sold were based on estimated current replacement cost. Specifically, in periods of rising raw material costs, reported gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA will be higher under FIFO than under estimated current replacement cost. Conversely, in periods of declining raw material costs, reported gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA will be lower under FIFO than under estimated current replacement cost. In recognition of the fact that the cost of raw materials affects our results of operations, we provide the spread between FIFO and estimated current replacement cost. In the third quarter of 2011 our reported gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA under FIFO was approximately $32.1 million higher than what it would have been under estimated current replacement cost and in the third quarter of 2010 our reported gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA under FIFO was approximately $1.7 million lower than what it would have been under estimated current replacement cost. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our reported gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA under FIFO was higher than what it would have been reported under estimated current replacement cost by approximately $102.9 million and $20.2 million, respectively |
(2) | Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 includes charges associated with restructuring and related activities and charges associated with evaluating acquisition transactions of approximately $0.3 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 includes charges associated with restructuring and related activities and costs associated with a secondary offering of our common stock of approximately $1.9 million after tax or $0.06 per diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes charges associated with restructuring and related activities, charges associated with evaluating acquisition transactions, costs associated with debt refinancing and costs associated with the secondary offering of our common stock of approximately $9.8 million after tax or $0.30 per diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes charges associated with restructuring and related activities and costs associated with the secondary offering of our common stock of approximately $2.6 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share, partially offset by a reduction of depreciation associated with exiting the Pernis, the Netherlands facility of approximately $0.9 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share. |
Third Quarter 2011 versus Third Quarter 2010 Results
Sales revenue in the third quarter 2011 was $402.0 million, an increase of 19.8% compared to the third quarter 2010. The increase was largely due to global product sales price increases of $55.4 million, which were primarily in response to higher raw material costs, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $16.8 million, partially offset by the impact of decreased sales volumes of $5.6 million. Sales volume in the third quarter 2011 was 77.6 kilotons, down 3.3 kilotons or 4.1% compared to the third quarter 2010. The decline in sales volume was principally the result of lower paving volume in North America and Europe and lower volume in Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings, partially offset by increased sales in lubricant additive applications and higher CariflexTM sales volume. The company estimates that third quarter 2011 sales volume was also negatively impacted by approximately 3.0 kilotons of customer pre-buy activity in the first quarter 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2011 was $71.1 million, or 17.7% of sales revenue, compared to $54.9 million, or 16.4% of sales revenue in the third quarter 2010. Third quarter 2011 Adjusted EBITDA was $32.1 million higher under the FIFO basis of accounting under which we report our financial results than it would have been on an estimated current replacement cost basis, and third quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million lower under the FIFO basis of accounting than it would have been on an estimated current replacement cost basis.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 7.4% and 14.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower than the statutory tax rate of 35.0% primarily due to the mix of pre-tax income earned in foreign jurisdictions and the partial release of our valuation allowance to reflect the benefit of tax net operating loss carry forwards realized during these periods. Excluding the release of our valuation allowance related to current period earnings, our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 would have been 25.6% and 35.0%, respectively.
Third quarter 2011 net income was $43.1 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2010 net income of $28.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. Third quarter 2011 earnings per share were negatively impacted by approximately $0.01 per diluted share associated with restructuring and related activities. Third quarter 2010 earnings per share were negatively impacted by approximately $0.06 per diluted share associated with restructuring and related activities and costs associated with a secondary offering of our common stock.
Cash Flow
During the third quarter 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $10.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $71.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating cash flow compared to the third quarter of 2010 was primarily related to an increase in the carrying value of finished goods inventory resulting from increases in the cost of raw materials. Net capital expenditures in the third quarter 2011 were $13.5 million compared to $12.9 million in the third quarter 2010.
END USE MARKET INFORMATION
The following factors influenced our sales revenue in each of our core end use markets:
Advanced Materials
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, sales revenue increased $11.1 million or 12.0% to $103.3 million from $92.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Sales revenue increased primarily due to global price increases implemented in response to rising raw material and other input costs, partially offset by modestly lower volume in the European and Asia Pacific regions. We continued to see positive momentum in our innovation portfolio primarily in personal care applications, including diapers and adult incontinence, and medical applications, including IV bags and tubing products.
Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, sales revenue increased $4.4 million or 4.0% to $112.5 million from $108.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Sales revenue increased primarily due to global price increases implemented in response to rising raw material and other input costs, which was partially offset by lower volume for less differentiated USBC products.
Paving and Roofing
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, sales revenue increased $19.3 million or 17.4% to $130.4 million from $111.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to global price increases implemented in response to rising raw material and other input costs and growth in North American roofing volumes. Volumes were negatively impacted by declines in global paving, primarily in North America and Europe.
2
Emerging Businesses
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, sales revenue increased $6.7 million or 34.7% to $26.1 million from $19.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase reflects the continued volume growth of our CariflexTM IR Latex, primarily used in surgical glove and condom applications. Furthermore, we saw continued volume growth for Cariflex IR in medical and coating applications.
Other Markets
The remainder of the increase in third quarter sales revenue was primarily attributable to increased sales into lubricant additive applications that are not reported in our four core end use markets.
THIRD QUARTER 2011 AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
During the third quarter we continued to conduct engineering work associated with our planned construction of a 30 kiloton HSBC plant through a proposed joint venture with Formosa Petrochemical Corporation (Formosa). On October 21, 2011 the Fair Trade Commission in Taiwan approved the proposed joint venture between us and Formosa. As of the date of this release, required approvals from the Taiwanese environmental authorities remain pending. The company and Formosa are continuing to negotiate definitive documentation implementing the proposed transaction and continuing efforts to secure the necessary environmental permits for construction of the plant at Formosas site in Mailiao, Taiwan.
OUTLOOK
Raw material prices have been volatile in 2011. Through August 2011 prices for our key raw materials rose significantly, as evidenced by the increase in the CMAI North American contract price for butadiene from $0.86 per pound in December 2010 to $1.77 per pound in August 2011, said Fogarty. Beginning in September 2011 raw material prices have decreased, with the CMAI North American contract price for butadiene declining $0.62 per pound from the August high of $1.77 per pound to $1.15 per pound for November 2011. We expect prices to decline further in December 2011, before stabilizing in the first quarter 2012, Fogarty added. In the third quarter 2011 concerns about the global economic outlook adversely impacted sales volumes across our end use markets. We expect the global economic outlook to remain uncertain for the balance of 2011.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This earnings release includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. In each case the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income. A table included in this earnings release reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance and companies in our industry. Further, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance; our executive compensation plan bases incentive compensation payments on our EBITDA performance; and our long-term debt agreements use EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to measure our compliance with certain financial covenants such as leverage and interest coverage. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results under GAAP in the United States. Some of these limitations include: EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, we prepare Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance, and you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because of these and other limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.
