• | Production Inefficiencies Temporarily Impact Sales and Costs |
• | Growing Automotive Extrusion Value Added Revenue and Content |
• | Organic Growth Investments Proceeding on Schedule |
First Nine Months 2013 Highlights:
• | Net Sales $986 Million; Value Added Revenue $553 Million |
• | Operating Income $132 Million; Adjusted EBITDA $132 Million; EBITDA Margin 24% |
• | Net Income $78 Million; Adjusted Net Income $54 Million |

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., October 17, 2013 - Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU) today reported net income of $25 million or $1.34 earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $29 million or $1.51 earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact of non-run-rate items and the effect of favorable transfer pricing settlements affecting the Company's Canadian taxes, adjusted net income was $17 million or $0.90 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013, compared to adjusted net income of $20 million or $1.02 per diluted share for the prior year third quarter. Third quarter 2013 results reflect a continuing supply chain inventory overhang for aerospace applications other than plate, temporary throughput and manufacturing inefficiencies which negatively impacted sales and operating costs in the quarter, and higher major maintenance expense.
For the first nine months of 2013, the Company's reported net income was $78 million or $4.02 earnings per diluted share compared to $77 million or $3.98 earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2012. Excluding the impact of non-run-rate items, adjusted net income of $54 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.81 were down compared to adjusted net income of $61 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.17 for the first nine months of 2012 as a result of lower operating income and higher interest expense.
Value added revenue of $182 million for the third quarter of 2013 was slightly lower than value added revenue of $184 million for the prior year third quarter. For the first nine months of 2013, value added revenue of $553 million was down 2% compared to $564 million for the first nine months of 2012, reflecting a continuing inventory overhang in the aerospace supply chain primarily related to products other than aerospace plate, offset in part by higher value added revenue for automotive extrusion applications.
Adjusted consolidated EBITDA was $40 million or 22.2% of value added revenue in the third quarter of 2013, compared to adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $48 million or 25.9% of value added revenue for the prior year quarter, reflecting throughput and manufacturing inefficiencies related to construction projects for the new casting
complex and Phase 5 expansion at the Company’s Trentwood facility in Spokane, Washington, an extended planned equipment outage at the Company’s Newark, Ohio facility, and higher major maintenance expenses during the third quarter of 2013.
For the first nine months of 2013, adjusted consolidated EBITDA was $132 million, down approximately 4% compared to the prior year period as the Company continued to invest in both research and development initiatives and sales and marketing to support further growth. Although higher operating costs and manufacturing inefficiencies negatively impacted adjusted consolidated EBITDA in the first nine months of 2013, the Company’s adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong at 24%, comparable to the same period in 2012.
Summary
“Our third quarter results were affected by throughput and manufacturing inefficiencies at our Trentwood and Newark facilities that negatively impacted our sales and costs. In addition, the aerospace inventory overhang for products other than plate continued to dampen demand,” said Jack A. Hockema, President, CEO and Chairman. “The manufacturing inefficiencies were the result of a significant disruption from construction activities related to the Phase 5 expansion project and the installation of the new casting complex at our Trentwood facility. We also experienced an extended downtime with the casting equipment at our Newark facility during a planned major maintenance outage. In contrast to these temporary set-backs, we were very pleased to see the ramp up of our new automotive extrusion programs that created a step-change improvement in our value added revenue for automotive applications and which we believe represents the beginning of a new phase of growth for our company,” stated Mr. Hockema.
“We expect to see some improvement in manufacturing efficiency in the fourth quarter, albeit not a full recovery. We will continue to experience some disruption from the construction projects and equipment downtime and anticipate that higher planned major maintenance expenses will likely offset the benefit of efficiency improvements in the quarter. Although the capital investment programs at the Trentwood facility negatively impact our results in the short-term, the longer-term benefits provide additional capacity to meet heat treat plate demand growth and address critical production bottlenecks that currently impede our ability to maximize operational efficiency and flexibility,” added Mr. Hockema.

Consolidated operating income of $42 million as reported for the third quarter of 2013 and $132 million for the first nine months of 2013 included non-run-rate gains of approximately $8 million and $20 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of non-run-rate items, adjusted consolidated operating income declined 18% to $34 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $41 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting weaker demand as previously noted, higher operating costs resulting from significant disruptions of expansion related construction activities at the Trentwood facility, the extended planned major equipment outage at the Newark facility, and higher major maintenance expense. For the first nine months of 2013, adjusted consolidated operating income of $112 million was down approximately 6% compared to $118 million in the first nine months of 2012 on higher selling, general and administrative, and research and development expense, less favorable manufacturing cost efficiencies, and higher depreciation expense.
During the first nine months of 2013, the Company’s adjusted consolidated EBITDA continued to more than fund significant organic investments and cash payments for interest and quarterly dividends. During this period, the Company also funded a $20 million annual variable contribution to the VEBAs and returned $44 million to shareholders through share repurchases. Capital spending through September 30, 2013 was approximately $47 million, related to investments to support further growth in aerospace and automotive applications in addition to sustaining capital spending. For the full year 2013, capital spending is anticipated to be approximately $70 million as the Company completes the Phase 5 expansion, continues investment in the new casting complex at its Trentwood facility, and pursues further investments to support new automotive extrusion programs.
Outlook
“Despite some adversity in the third quarter of 2013, we continue to be very optimistic regarding the longer-term outlook for our business. We expect improved performance in the fourth quarter, however seasonal demand weakness and higher major maintenance expenses will likely offset the performance improvement. Overall, we anticipate value added revenue to be comparable to the third quarter although there is always some uncertainty when looking at the fourth quarter due to seasonal market dynamics as we approach year-end,” said Mr. Hockema.
“Our long-term value proposition remains intact as we anticipate growth in our overall value added revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin driven by strong demand for aerospace and automotive applications,” continued Mr. Hockema. “Our focus on organic investments in capacity, capability, quality, and enhanced operating efficiencies will continue to serve us well and will allow us to capture additional opportunities for profitable growth in these end market applications. Lastly, we remain committed to maintaining financial strength and flexibility so that we may continue to invest and capitalize on organic and acquisition opportunities to further enhance shareholder returns,” concluded Mr. Hockema.
