Myers Industries Reports 2013 Third Quarter Results

October 24, 2013, Akron, Ohio - Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Summary

President and Chief Executive Officer John C. Orr said, “Our continued focus on profit improvement delivered a 25% improvement in adjusted diluted earnings per share compared to the same quarter last year. Both the Lawn and Garden and Distribution Segments drove the increased profitability. The Lawn and Garden Segment’s increase in profitability was due primarily to productivity, material substitution and savings from phase one of our restructuring project. We are very pleased with the progress of this segment over the last three quarters.”

Orr continued, “Overall, sales were slightly below our third quarter expectation due to a poor tomato crop harvest impacting our Material Handling Segment’s food processing sales, a delay in orders in our Lawn and Garden Segment to the fourth quarter and the focus on more profitable business in our Engineered Products Segment. However, sales year to date are up 6.4% compared to last year to date. We anticipate year-over-year sales growth in the fourth quarter helped by new product sales.”

Segment Results

The results below are as adjusted and exclude restructuring and other unusual pre-tax charges as detailed on the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this release.

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment for the third quarter of 2013 were $76.0 million compared to $76.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. A sales decrease driven by lower than anticipated food processing sales that resulted from a poor tomato crop season more than offset incremental sales resulting from the Jamco acquisition, which took place in October 2012. Material Handling’s adjusted income before taxes was $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $12.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in income before taxes was primarily due to the lower sales volume.

Net sales in the Lawn and Garden Segment for the third quarter of 2013 were $44.9 million compared to $45.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. A delay in customer orders for the upcoming season resulted in slightly lower sales. Lawn and Garden’s adjusted income before taxes for the third quarter of 2013 was $2.5 million compared to break-even income before taxes in the third quarter of 2012. Productivity improvements and raw material substitution cost savings coupled with savings from phase one of our previously announced restructuring project led to the significant improvement in adjusted income before taxes year-over-year.

Net sales in the Distribution Segment were $45.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $45.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. Distribution’s adjusted income before taxes was $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. A favorable product mix and lower selling, general and administrative expenses led to the increase in income before taxes year-over-year.

Net sales in the Engineered Products Segment were $33.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $35.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decline in sales year-over-year was due partially to lower custom sales as the segment continues to focus on more profitable customers and products. Engineered Products’ adjusted income before taxes was $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decreased income from the lower sales was substantially offset by raw material cost savings and productivity improvements.

Other Financial Items

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash flow provided by operations was $46.8 million compared to $23.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflecting efforts to better manage working capital.

Capital expenditures totaled $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and are forecasted to be approximately $35 million for the full year of 2013.

On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement for the private placement of senior unsecured notes totaling $100 million with a group of institutional investors. The proceeds will be used to grow key businesses and repay existing debt.

Q4 Outlook

The Company anticipates that fourth quarter results will reflect year-over-year improvement in both sales and adjusted earnings excluding restructuring and other unusual pre-tax charges. Sales of new products, productivity gains, cost savings and the forecasted benefits from the Lawn and Garden Segment restructuring initiatives are expected to produce most of the improvements.
