KMG Chemicals Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Financial Results

HOUSTON, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 24, 2013—KMG Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE: KMG), a global provider of specialty chemicals in select markets, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2013.

2013 Fourth Fiscal Quarter Summary

 

    Net sales were $81.1 million, up 19.9% from the comparable quarter in fiscal 2012. Fourth quarter sales included two months of contribution from the acquisition of OM Group’s Ultra Pure Chemicals (UPC) business.

 

    Operating income was $2.5 million, including the impact of $660,000 of UPC acquisition expenses, $577,000 of UPC integration expenses and $1.5 million of CEO transition expenses. Excluding these expenses, fourth quarter operating income was $5.3 million.

 

    GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.06 vs. $0.33 per share reported in last year’s fourth fiscal quarter.

 

    Adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share, which excludes acquisition, integration and CEO transition expenses, was $0.28. In addition to the items previously identified, fourth quarter EPS was also adversely impacted by an increase to tax expense of $682,000 associated with the requirement to capitalize for tax purposes all of the previously incurred expenses associated with the UPC acquisition. The tax impact was included in the adjustment for acquisition-related expenses.

2013 Fiscal Year Summary

 

    Net sales were $263.3 million, a 3.4% decrease from $272.7 million in fiscal 2012. Despite an increase in net sales from the UPC acquisition, net sales were down in the aggregate because of weak demand in electronic chemicals in North America beginning in the second quarter of the fiscal year, and because of reduced sales of creosote.

 

    Operating income was $17.2 million vs. $25.4 million in fiscal 2012. Fiscal 2013 operating income was impacted by $2.1 million of UPC acquisition expenses, $577,000 of UPC integration expenses and $1.5 million of CEO transition expenses. Excluding these expenses, operating income was $21.3 million.

 

    GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.81 vs. $1.20 reported in fiscal 2012.

 

    Adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude acquisition, integration and CEO transition expenses, including the aforementioned tax effect, was $1.11.

 

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.3 million vs. $25.2 million in fiscal 2012.

“Our fiscal 2013 financial results did not meet our expectations, reflecting challenging market conditions in both our Electronic Chemicals and Wood Treating Chemicals businesses. We also incurred significant expenses related to the acquisition of OM Group’s UPC subsidiaries and KMG’s change in leadership,” said Chris Fraser, Chairman, President and CEO of KMG.

“Having spent the last few months meeting with our employees, customers and suppliers, I am very optimistic about KMG’s potential. Our near-term focus is on the integration of the UPC business, which will involve consolidating our global Electronic Chemicals manufacturing operations and optimizing our logistics and supply chain.

“As we move forward, the intensity with which we focus on execution and operational efficiencies will increase. We will continue to emphasize a culture of accountability, bringing a greater focus and discipline to our business performance,” Mr. Fraser said.

For the fourth fiscal quarter, the Wood Treating Chemicals segment reported:

 

    Sales of $26.8 million, up 10% from $24.3 million reported in the comparable quarter last year. The sales increase was the result of higher sales volumes into the rail tie treating market.

 

    Operating profit of $2.4 million, or 8.9% of sales, vs. $3.2 million, or 13.2% of sales, last year. Operating profit in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 was negatively impacted by shifts in product mix and lower selling prices.

Balance sheet and cash flow overview

“KMG ended the fourth quarter with cash of $13.9 million and total assets of $262.0 million. Because of the acquisition of OM Group’s Ultra Pure Chemicals business, our long-term debt was $85.0 million as of July 31, 2013, including $65.0 million on our revolver and $20.0 million on our term loan,” Mr. Sobchak said.

KMG reported net cash flows from operations in fiscal 2013 of $20.3 million, down from $25.2 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease in net cash flows from operations primarily reflected lower net income.

Electronic Chemicals manufacturing realignment

As indicated in last week’s news release, KMG has announced a restructuring plan for its Electronic Chemicals business to enhance logistical efficiencies, optimize our supply chain and improve service to our valued customers. The initial step in this plan involves shifting production from the Fremont, California site to KMG’s larger facilities primarily in the U.S. This transfer of production is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2014.

“At this time, we are reviewing additional options to reconfigure our global Electronic Chemicals operations, which include five manufacturing and distribution sites across the UK, France and Italy, and two sites in Asia. Given current industry production capacity, we intend to optimize our global manufacturing footprint to better match market demand for high purity process chemicals. The consolidation of our manufacturing assets is expected to take approximately eighteen months to complete, during which time KMG will work closely with customers to ensure a smooth transition for affected products,” Mr. Fraser said.

Outlook

Mr. Sobchak said, “We anticipate sales within our Electronic Chemicals business will rise sequentially given a full quarter’s worth of contribution from the recently acquired UPC business. Electronic Chemicals segment first quarter operating profits are expected to increase from the prior quarter, benefiting from a full three months of UPC revenue. . Within our Wood Treating Chemicals business, first quarter operating profits should be consistent with those reported in our fourth fiscal quarter, aided by favorable seasonal trends. However, increased overhead charges related to the expansion of our business, such as for additional accounting and administrative services, will likely cause consolidated first quarter earnings to fall below fourth quarter earnings, as adjusted.

Overall, we project first quarter GAAP diluted EPS, including restructuring and other unusual charges, will be $0.13 to $0.16. Adjusted (non-GAAP) fiscal first quarter diluted EPS, which exclude restructuring and integration charges, are projected to be $0.22 to $0.25.

For the fiscal 2014 year, we anticipate global semiconductor industry production will increase moderately over fiscal 2013, with production progressively improving over the course of the year. While laptop and desktop chip markets remain sluggish, mobile computing and markets for other chip applications are experiencing growth. In our Wood Treating Chemicals business, we expect continued steady market demand for wood railroad ties and improving demand for utility poles as western U.S.-based utilities upgrade their distribution infrastructure.

As we integrate OM Group’s Ultra Pure Chemicals subsidiaries into our operations, we anticipate fiscal 2014 will be a transition year in terms of our overall financial performance. We project fiscal 2014 consolidated net sales will exceed $350 million, rising significantly from fiscal 2013 primarily due to the addition of sales from the UPC business. However, we anticipate flat to modest net income growth on a GAAP basis, as we incur costs to restructure our Electronic Chemicals manufacturing operations.”

Mr. Sobchak continued, “In fiscal 2014, we project one-time charges of $4-5 million from our global manufacturing realignment program, partially offset by incremental benefits of $2-3 million from restructuring-related synergies and commercial benefits. Once completed in fiscal 2015, this restructuring is expected to generate annualized benefits of $6-8 million for our Electronic Chemicals segment, excluding one-time projected restructuring charges of $7-9 million on a cumulative basis over fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. In addition, we intend to spend an incremental $2 million of capital expenditures primarily in fiscal 2014 to accomplish these plans.”

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures

KMG provides non-GAAP financial information to complement reported GAAP results. KMG believes that analysis of our financial performance would be enhanced by an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. Excluding expenses related to the acquisition of OM Group’s Ultra Pure Chemicals business, integration expenses associated with that acquisition and CEO transition expenses from current results will allow for more accurate comparisons of our operating performance. KMG intends to continue to provide certain non-GAAP financial information and the appropriate reconciliation to GAAP in its financial results. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
