CEO Remarks

 

Industrial Performance Products, Consumer Products and Chemtura AgroSolutions again delivered year-over-year improvement this quarter,” commented Mr. Craig A. Rogerson, Chairman, President and CEO of Chemtura. “With the benefit of strong sales growth in North America and in Latin America, Chemtura AgroSolutions delivered record performance this quarter despite the delayed start to the Northern Hemisphere growing season this year. Our other three segments encouragingly delivered modest improvements over the performance levels discussed in our June 6, 2013 press release.”

 

“Within our Industrial Performance Products segment, the strength in the sales of petroleum additives and certain synthetic lubricants we saw in the first quarter continued,” noted Mr. Rogerson. “This strength more than offset the weaker demand conditions for our urethane products sold to mining and electronic applications. Consumer Products saw lower sales volume than in the second quarter of 2012 due to poorer weather conditions, but was able to offset the impact through manufacturing and SG&A cost measures and delivered modest year-over-year profit improvement.”

 

“Industrial Engineered Products saw demand and pricing for flame retardants used in insulation foam applications stabilize during the quarter after the declines in the first quarter of 2013,” continued Mr. Rogerson. “However, now reflecting a full quarter’s impact of those declines, operating income was sequentially lower. Sales of flame retardants used in electronic applications showed modest sequential improvement for the third consecutive quarter, but were still lower than the second quarter of 2012. Prices for bromine based products in Asia remained at the weaker levels seen in recent quarters as Chinese bromine producers continue to seek the sale of excess production capacity.”

 

Mr. Rogerson continued, “The year-over-year improvement by Industrial Performance Products, Consumer Products and Chemtura AgroSolutions was not sufficient to fully offset the weaker performance of Industrial Engineered Products, and operating income fell short of the second quarter of 2012. With our plans to eliminate the stranded costs associated with the former Antioxidant business implemented during the quarter, stranded costs declined and we will see the full benefit in the third quarter.”

 

Outlook

 

”Our Consumer Products and Chemtura AgroSolutions segments anticipate to continue to deliver year-over-year improvement in the second half of 2013, although the second quarter is their seasonally strongest quarter of each year,” observed Mr. Rogerson. “Actual performance for Consumer Products will depend on weather conditions and Chemtura AgroSolutions will be influenced by growing conditions in the regions it serves and the requirements for our insecticide products.”

 

“Industrial Performance Products expect to deliver year-over-year improvement in the second half of 2013 with the relative strength of petroleum additive products offsetting the weakened demand for urethane products in mining and electronic applications,” continued Mr. Rogerson. “For Industrial Engineered Products, second half performance will depend upon the relative improvement of demand from insulation foam and electronic applications from the levels seen in the second quarter of 2013. The rate and timing of any improvement from these applications will determine if Chemtura as a whole can deliver year-over-year improvement in the second half of 2013.”

 

“In this lackluster industrial demand environment we continue to look for improvements that we can drive and are focused on what additional actions we can take to reduce cost and improve efficiency,” concluded Mr. Rogerson, “and we continue to actively work on portfolio transformation initiatives.”

Non-Operating Activities Reflected in Our Second Quarter Financial Results

 

·On April 30, 2013, we completed the sale of our antioxidant and UV stabilizers (“Antioxidant”) business. We recorded an after-tax loss of $146 million reported in loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax which included a pre-tax non-cash loss of $119 million arising from the release of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension obligations transferred, the release of cumulative translation adjustments and the release of our non-controlling interest in a Korean joint venture. The loss also included the recognition of future losses related to continuing supply agreements.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Business Segment Highlights

 

·Industrial Performance Products’ net sales increased $19 million or 8% as a result of a $15 million increase in sales volume and a $4 million year-over-year increase in selling prices. Operating income increased $3 million or 11% in the second quarter of 2013 to $31 million, benefited from the higher selling prices and $3 million in higher volume and product mix changes, offset by higher raw material costs of $3 million and other costs of $1 million. Sales volume increased due to improved demand for our petroleum additives and certain synthetic lubricant products compared to a year ago. Sales volume of urethane products continued to be effected by weak demand in mining and electronic applications across all regions. Selling price increases, primarily in our petroleum additive products offset raw material costs changes while manufacturing costs overall remained comparable to the second quarter of 2012.

 

·Industrial Engineered Products’ net sales decreased $35 million or 15% primarily reflecting a $24 million decrease in sales volumes, $10 million in lower selling prices and $1 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation. Operating income decreased $25 million or 66% from the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating income reflected lower selling prices, an $11 million decrease due to lower sales volume and product mix changes and $3 million in unfavorable manufacturing costs and variances. The lower operating income was primarily the result of lower sales volumes and lower selling prices associated with brominated flame retardants used to support insulation foam and electronic applications.  Some of this weakness was offset by stronger demand from oilfield and other industrial applications coupled with an increase in volume of organometallics products including tin-based products and those used as components of polyolefin polymerization catalysts. While selling prices during the quarter for bromine based products in Asia, insulation foam products in Europe and certain organometallic products were lower than in the second quarter of 2012, pricing in the quarter stabilized at the levels seen towards the end of the first quarter of 2013. We experienced some increase in raw material costs which we have not yet recovered due to demand conditions. Our manufacturing cost base was stable despite shutdowns at one of our major organometallics plants to facilitate capacity expansion.

 

·Consumer Products’ net sales decreased $13 million or 8% reflecting a $12 million decrease in sales volume and $1 million in lower selling prices. Operating income increased by $1 million to $21 million, reflecting $3 million in lower manufacturing costs, a $2 million reduction in raw material costs and a $2 million decrease in other costs, offset by a $5 million impact from lower volume and unfavorable product mix and the lower selling prices. Sales volume was impacted by a slow start to this year’s pool season and unseasonable cold and wet weather in North America and Europe as the quarter progressed. Margins benefited from lower raw material and manufacturing costs and some reduction in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and research and development (“R&D”, collectively “SGA&R”) costs.

·Chemtura AgroSolutions’ net sales increased $23 million or 21% resulting from $21 million in higher sales volume and $3 million in higher selling prices partly offset by $1 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Operating income increased $9 million reflecting $8 million from higher sales volume and product mix changes, the higher selling prices and a $2 million decrease in other costs, offset in part by $2 million in higher SGA&R costs and $2 million in higher manufacturing costs. North America led the growth, seeing strong demand for our miticide products, followed by Latin America. China also saw strong growth while Europe was at comparable levels to the second quarter of 2012 due to unseasonably wet conditions. Operating income reflected the benefit of an increase in selling prices and higher volumes offset by higher manufacturing costs and slightly higher SGA&R costs.

 

·Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2013 on a GAAP basis decreased to $20 million compared with $24 million in 2012. Corporate expenses included amortization expense related to intangible assets and depreciation of $7 million and $6 million and non-cash stock compensation expense of $1 million and $2 million for the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Stranded cost related to the Antioxidant Business declined to $2 million in the quarter compared to $4 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Results – GAAP

 

·Consolidated net sales of $735 million for the second quarter of 2013 were $6 million or 1% lower than 2012 driven by lower selling prices of $4 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million.

 

·Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was $187 million, a decrease of $12 million compared with the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 25% as compared with 27% in the same quarter of 2012. Gross profit was impacted by $5 million from unfavorable volume and product mix changes, $4 million in lower selling prices, $2 million in unfavorable manufacturing costs and variances and a $1 million increase in other costs.

 

·Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $12 million to $66 million compared with $78 million for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the $12 million decrease in gross profit, a $4 million increase in facility closures, severance and related costs related to our restructuring programs and a $1 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partly offset by $5 million in lower SGA&R costs.

 

·Included in the computation of operating income for the second quarters of 2013 and 2012 was $3 million of stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $16 million for 2013.

 

·Interest expense was $15 million during the second quarter of 2013 which was slightly lower than 2012, primarily due to higher capitalized interest expense in 2013.

 

·Other income, net was $12 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared with $5 million for the second quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, we recognized a gain of $15 million related to the release of cumulative translation adjustments associated with the rationalization of certain European subsidiaries no longer required.

 

·Reorganization items, net was $1 million in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012 which is comprised primarily of professional fees directly associated with the Chapter 11 reorganization.

 

·The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2013 was $15 million compared with $13 million in the second quarter of 2012.

·Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Chemtura for the second quarter of 2013 was $47 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared with $53 million, or $0.53 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

 

·Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax attributable to Chemtura for the second quarter of 2013 was $6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share compared with a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax attributable to Chemtura for the second quarter of 2012 of $3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Discontinued operations represents the Antioxidant business.

 

·Loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax attributable to Chemtura for the second quarter of 2013 was $146 million, or $1.46 per diluted share.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Results - Managed Basis

 

·On a managed basis, second quarter 2013 gross profit was $187 million, as compared with $199 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 25% as compared with 27% in the same quarter of 2012. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower sales volume and the resulting unfavorable manufacturing costs and variances and lower selling prices.

 

·On a managed basis, second quarter 2013 operating income was $75 million as compared with $85 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating income primarily reflected the decrease in gross profit, partially offset by lower SGA&R costs.

 

·Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2013 was $109 million as compared with $118 million in the second quarter of 2012 (see the tables attached to this earnings release for a reconciliation of the computation of Adjusted EBITDA). The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was principally driven by lower gross profit offset in part by lower SGA&R costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months decreased from $367 million at December 31, 2012 to $351 million at June 30, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the Antioxidant business which is classified as a discontinued operation.

 

·Net earnings from continuing operations before income taxes on a managed basis in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012 were $57 million and $74 million, respectively and exclude pre-tax GAAP adjustments of $5 million and $8 million, respectively. These adjustments are primarily related to facility closures, severance and related costs, the release of cumulative translation adjustments associated with the rationalization of certain European subsidiaries no longer required, costs associated with the Chapter 11 reorganization and legal matters.

 

·Chemtura has chosen to apply an estimated tax rate to our managed basis pre-tax income to simplify for investors the comparison of underlying operating performance. In 2012, we applied an estimated managed basis tax rate of 28% reflecting the expected performance of our core operations in 2012. With a projected shift in relative profitability to the U.S. from international operations, in 2013, we are applying an estimated managed basis tax rate of 31%. The estimated managed basis tax rate reflects (i) the impact of the adjustments made in the preparation of pre-tax managed basis income; (ii) the exclusion of the benefit or charge arising from the creation or release of valuation allowances on U.S. income; (iii) the utilization of foreign tax credits generated in the current year; and (iv) the conclusion that we will indefinitely re-invest the majority of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in our international operations. We will continue to monitor our estimated managed basis tax rate and may modify it based on changes in the composition of our taxable income and in tax rates around the world.

Cash Flows Details - GAAP

 

·Net cash used in operating activities for the second quarter of 2013 was $2 million as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $71 million for the second quarter of 2012. We traditionally use cash in the first and second quarters as working capital increases driven by seasonal businesses. This working capital is then recovered in the second half of the year, which we anticipate will again result in net cash being provided by operations for the year as a whole.

 

·Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2013 were $38 million compared with $29 million in the second quarter of 2012, reflecting investments to support organic growth initiatives including building our Nantong multi-purpose plant in China.

 

·Cash income taxes paid (net of refunds) in the second quarter of 2013 were $5 million compared with $10 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

·On May 9, 2013, the Board authorized an increase in our share repurchase program by $41 million to $141 million and extended the program through March 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, we did not repurchase any of our common stock. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining authorization under the program was approximately $100 million. However, from July 1, 2013 to July 26, 2013 we have repurchased 0.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of $20 million.

 

·Our total debt was $894 million as of June 30, 2013 compared with $888 million as of March 31, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations increased to $306 million as of June 30, 2013 compared with $251 million as of March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily related to proceeds from the sale of the Antioxidant business offset by funding seasonal working capital increases.

 

·Total debt less cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations of $588 million as of June 30, 2013 decreased $49 million compared with total debt less cash and cash equivalents for continuing operations of $637 million as of March 31, 2013.

 

·During July 2013, we have refinanced part of our debt capital structure and will reflect these transactions in our third quarter financial results including a loss on the early extinguishment of debt. In light of these actions, we have shown $454 million of our long term debt as current as of June 30, 2013 as it has been repaid in July 2013. The refinancing actions will reduce annual interest expense by approximately $8 million and annually cash interest by approximately $8 million.

Managed Basis Financial Measures

The information presented in this press release and in the attached financial tables includes financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Our managed basis financial measures consist of adjusted results of operations that exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operations. Excluded items include costs associated with the bankruptcy reorganization; facility closures, severance and related costs; gains and losses on sale of business and assets; increased depreciation due to the change in useful life of assets; unusual and non-recurring settlements; accelerated recognition of asset retirement obligations: impairment charges; changes in our pension plans as a result of dispositions, merger or significant plan amendments, and the release of cumulative translation adjustments upon the complete or substantial liquidation of any majority-owned entity. They also include the computation of Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to the managed basis financial measures discussed above, we have applied a managed basis effective income tax rate to our managed basis income before taxes. Our managed basis tax rate of 31% in 2013 and 28% in 2012 represents refined estimated tax rates for our core operations to simplify comparison of underlying operating performance. Reconciliations of these managed basis financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the attached financial tables. We believe that such managed basis financial measures provide useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating our underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, management uses these managed basis financial measures internally to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of our operations. While we believe that such measures are useful in evaluating our performance, investors should not consider them to be a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these managed basis financial measures may differ from similarly titled managed basis financial measures used by other companies and do not provide a comparable view of our performance relative to other companies in similar industries.
