SWM ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

ALPHARETTA, GA, February 5, 2014 -- Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. (SWM or the Company) (NYSE: SWM) today reported fourth quarter 2013 earnings results for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Fourth Quarter / Full Year Financial Highlights:
Fourth quarter net sales of $196.5 million increased 0.9% versus the prior-year quarter; full year net sales were $772.8 million, versus $778.5 million in 2012
Fourth quarter Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (see non-GAAP reconciliations) was $0.91, versus $0.95 in the prior-year quarter and $3.82 in full year 2013 versus $3.77 in 2012
Fourth quarter results include a $37.2 million non-cash impairment charge with no associated tax benefit recorded related to the mothballed Philippine RTL mill; construction has been halted since 2011
Including the $37.2 million non-cash impairment charge, fourth quarter net loss of $9.7 million compared to net income of $16.5 million in the prior-year quarter; full year net income of $76.1 million in 2013 versus $79.8 million in 2012

Business Highlights and Outlook:

During the fourth quarter, SWM acquired DelStar, Inc. for $231.3 million in cash and established a third reporting segment called Filtration; the transaction is expected to add approximately $0.25 to $0.27 to 2014 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations, excluding the impact of purchase accounting items.
Fourth quarter tobacco paper sales volumes, including the Chinese joint venture CTM (which is not included in Paper Segment results), decreased 8% versus the prior-year quarter; full year 2013 volumes were down 2% versus 2012
Fourth quarter Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP) cigarette paper sales volumes, which are part of the Paper Segment, increased 1% versus the prior-year quarter and increased 3% for full year 2013 versus 2012
Fourth quarter Reconstituted Tobacco Segment sales volumes decreased 7% versus the prior-year quarter and decreased 10% for full year 2013 compared to 2012

Frederic Villoutreix, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our fourth quarter Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations of $0.91 was a good finish to the year, despite a challenging tobacco industry.  As expected, our Reconstituted Tobacco Leaf (RTL) sales in the fourth quarter rebounded sequentially as our customers with annual commitments fulfilled those obligations. We are pleased with the 2013 results, particularly with our ability to maintain profits despite significant industry headwinds and the absence of any new LIP market conversions.  Our continued focus on operational excellence, with another year of more than $25 million of year-over-year pre-tax savings in 2013, was a key contributor to our performance, providing favorable offsets to inflationary increases and the lower RTL volume. Our Paper Segment volumes were up 2% over 2012, as we worked diligently to offset tobacco industry challenges with share gains and higher volumes of non-tobacco products.  Beyond the strong financial performance in 2013, we executed an acquisition in our long-term efforts to diversify the Company. DelStar creates the platform for our new Filtration Segment and offers SWM compelling organic and acquisition-related growth prospects, and the potential for high-return commercial projects. We welcome DelStar to the SWM team and look forward to sharing more about this new business area with our stockholders."

Steve Dunmead, SWMs Chief Operating Officer, added, "As indicated in our last earnings release, 2014 will pose some difficult challenges, but there are several positive long-term growth catalysts taking place at the same time. We are on track to open the new CTS joint venture RTL mill in China during 2014, the DelStar integration is largely complete, and we are already aggressively pursuing several promising joint commercial initiatives with DelStar. Absent non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the DelStar acquisition is expected to generate approximately $0.25 to $0.27 of earnings per share in 2014. In addition, we are pleased to report that we have proactively renewed and extended several existing major EU LIP multi-year contracts. Consistent with our expectations, we made certain pricing concessions in exchange for favorable share commitments, further solidifying our industry leadership position in tobacco papers."




"The RTL business will continue to face pressure in 2014, with volumes expected to be down close to 20% within our Reconstituted Tobacco Segment, net of some planned transfers to CTS. Overall volume, including CTS, is forecasted to be down approximately 10%. Customer inventory overhangs and accelerated smoking attrition rates in Western geographies, combined with potential changes in some of our customers' tobacco blends are driving this expected 2014 weakness. Throughout its 50-year history, RTL has experienced periodic volatility, and we are developing several product enhancements and exploring ways to leverage our reconstitution technologies in new market segments to help provide longer-run growth opportunities in RTL. The current weakness in RTL and the resulting uncertain outlook on the timetable to resume construction at our Philippines RTL mill prompted us to record a partial and non-cash impairment of these assets in the fourth quarter in the amount of $37.2 million. We are still hopeful, however, that future growth from several RTL product initiatives will lead to the necessary volume demands to restart construction. Separately, while we are still optimistic about future LIP prospects in Russia and other countries, we dont expect revenue from any new LIP geographies in 2014."

Mr. Villoutreix continued, "Considering these factors, our 2014 outlook for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is $3.40, assuming foreign currency exchange rates remain similar to current levels. This excludes non-cash purchase accounting impacts from the DelStar acquisition, as well as start-up costs for CTS and other restructuring costs. While the decline in EPS expected in 2014 represents difficult tobacco market conditions, specifically for RTL, our cash flow is expected to remain quite robust. In this regard, we have been buying stock during the first quarter of 2014 under the $50 million stock buyback authorization approved during 2013."

"Despite our expectations for lower earnings in 2014, several of our long-term key profit drivers remain solid. DelStar provides a strong platform for growth in our Filtration Segment through its current and future product offerings and realization of several exciting commercial synergies, as well as the potential for follow-on acquisitions.  In addition, the outlook for global LIP adoptions remains promising, and our Chinese RTL joint venture is set to open in 2014, with profits expected to be realized beginning in 2015.  We continue to drive solid free cash flow generation, and several operating as well as non-operating initiatives are underway, already benefiting our 2014 earnings guidance."



Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

Net sales were $196.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, versus $194.7 million in the prior-year quarter. The Paper Segments revenues were down 3%, Reconstituted Tobacco Segment sales increased 2%, and the new Filtration Segment added $4.2 million in revenue subsequent to the December 12, 2013 close of the DelStar acquisition. Consolidated full year 2013 net sales were $772.8 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 0.7% from the prior year.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations was $0.91 in the fourth quarter of 2013, down from $0.95 in the prior year period. For the full year 2013, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations was $3.82, up from $3.77 in 2012.

Adjusted Operating Profit from Continuing Operations (see non-GAAP reconciliations) was $38.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 versus $38.9 million in the prior-year quarter. For the full year 2013, Adjusted Operating Profit from Continuing Operations was $167.3 million, down 3.4% from $173.1 million in 2012. The key driver of this decline was lower 2013 RTL volumes, which carry high margins.
 
Restructuring and impairment expense aggregated $38.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of $39.0 million from the prior-year quarter. The largest component was the $37.2 million non-cash impairment of the Philippine RTL mill assets, which resulted in a new carrying value equivalent to the estimated fair value of $31.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2012, restructuring and impairment income was $0.6 million and included adjustments to our French pre-retirement accruals due to changes in French retirement laws. For the full year 2013, restructuring and impairment expense aggregated $41.3 million, up from $21.4 million in 2012. The largest component of 2012 restructuring and impairment expense was a $16.9 million impairment charge related to the Spotswood, New Jersey mill in connection with a modification to the Company's long-term supply contract with Altria.

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013, excluding the impact of the Philippines RTL impairment and deferred tax asset valuations aggregating $1.1 million, was 31.1%, up from 29.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year 2013, the effective income tax rate, excluding the impact of the Philippines RTL impairment and other items was 31.6%, versus 32.3% in 2012. The 2012 effective tax rate for continuing operations excludes the impact of the Spotswood impairment and RTL Philippines losses.




Financial results of discontinued operations included results of the Company's paper mills in the Philippines, which had been closed at the end of 2012, and in Indonesia prior to its sale during 2013. Prior-year results have been recast to a comparable basis.

Net loss was $9.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $26.2 million from net income in the prior-year quarter, which was more than accounted for by the $37.2 million impairment of the mothballed Philippines RTL mill assets. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $76.1 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations (a non-GAAP measure, see non-GAAP reconciliations) was $120.2 million for full year 2013 compared to $119.0 million in 2012.


Cash Flow, Debt and Quarterly Dividend

Operating cash from continuing operations was $175.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $178.1 million in the prior year.

Net Debt at December 31, 2013 was $113.4 million, compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2012. The Company's higher debt position is largely the result of debt financing for the December 2013 DelStar acquisition, with a purchase price of $231.3 million, offset by cash flow from operations during the year net of capital spending and dividend payments.

Capital spending was $29.1 million and $27.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For 2014, capital spending is expected to be approximately $30 million, including DelStar.

The Company also announced that a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share will be payable on March 20, 2014 to stockholders of record on February 28, 2014. As discussed previously, the Companys Capital Allocation Strategy aims to return at least 1/3 of free cash flow to stockholders, largely in the form of dividends, with share repurchases executed on an opportunistic basis. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the fourth quarter. During 2014, the Company has repurchased approximately 294,000 shares for $13.6 million through February 4, 2014.

Impact of Filtration Segment on 2014 Earnings Guidance

The DelStar contribution of $0.25 to $0.27 to the Companys 2014 outlook for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations excludes the impact from the non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships and technology, and a one-time inventory step-up charge of $3.3 million. The ongoing non-cash amortization expenses for intangible assets total approximately $3 million per year. The expected DelStar contribution includes integration and management retention expenses as well as the interest costs for debt incurred to purchase the business.
