PRESS RELEASE
OM GROUP REPORTS RESULTS FOR 2011 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR
- Acquisition drives strong revenue and earnings growth -
- Company delivers sixth consecutive year of positive cash flow from operations -
- Strategy execution positions the company for long-term profitable growth -
CLEVELAND - February 28, 2012 - OM Group, Inc. (NYSE: OMG) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
Driven by the strategic acquisition of VAC and solid organic growth, full year consolidated net sales increased 27 percent in 2011 to $1,514.5 million. Net income was $37.9 million. Excluding special items such as acquisition-related expenses, adjusted income from continuing operations was $120.9 million, or $3.87 per diluted share, compared with $88.2 million, or $2.89 per diluted share, in 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year was $124.8 million.
“In many ways, 2011 was a breakthrough year for OM Group,” said Joseph Scaminace, chairman and chief executive officer. “We continued to grow our business profitably, achieving adjusted EBITDA of $224 million, and delivered our sixth consecutive year of positive cash flow from operations. Through the creation of our Magnetic Technologies platform and our market-driven initiatives, we now have greater opportunity to expand in targeted higher-growth, higher-margin applications for mobile energy storage, electronic devices, renewable energy and transportation. Our acquisition of Rahu Catalytics secured the technology to support our product development pipeline for advanced additives used in coating and composites. And we are working more closely with our customers, using our application expertise to meet their performance requirements and create value.”
In the fourth quarter of 2011, net sales were $438.6 million, an increase of 50 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the VAC acquisition. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $50.9 million or $1.59 per diluted share. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $23.3 million ($0.73 per diluted share), compared with $22.2 million ($0.72 per diluted share) during the 2010 period. Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $38.3 million, compared with a $35.0 million use of cash in the prior year comparable period.
“During the fourth quarter we felt the impacts of the slowing European economy and disruptions to the electronics industry from the Thailand floods,” said Scaminace. “We expect these performance challenges to begin to moderate in the second quarter of 2012, and will closely manage spending across the company until business conditions improve. At the same time, our strong balance sheet enables us to continue to invest in those initiatives that support our strategy to create long-term shareholder value.”
