FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A. SCHULMAN REPORTS STRONG FISCAL 2014 SECOND QUARTER
• | Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $6.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share; adjusted net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, excluding certain items, was $11.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, a 39% improvement over the prior-year quarter |
• | Company raises full-year fiscal 2014 adjusted net income guidance to a range of $2.23 to $2.28 per diluted share |
AKRON, Ohio - April 7, 2014 - A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: SHLM) announced today earnings for the fiscal 2014 second quarter ended February 28, 2014.
Joseph M. Gingo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our strong second-quarter financial results reflect sustained operational improvements combined with the benefits of our acquisition strategy. The dedicated work of our European associates related to operational efficiencies and restructuring initiatives took full advantage of the modest volume improvements over the past two quarters to drive stronger profits. At the same time, we continue to benefit from our aggressive acquisition strategy and gained solid contributions from our bolt-on acquisitions this quarter, which exceeded our expectations. This combination is adding excitement to what we believe will be a strong 2014 for A. Schulman.”
Bernard Rzepka, Chief Operating Officer, stated, “I am very pleased that our European team has been able to capitalize on strengthening demand, especially in the automotive and electronics & electrical markets. In the Americas, I am encouraged that organic net sales in the region remained consistent with the prior year despite an 8.2% drop in organic volume and negative foreign currency headwinds in Latin America. Volume was, of course, impacted by the severe winter weather in the United States, but also by the Company’s continuous strategy to reduce less-profitable commodity sales. In Asia Pacific (APAC), the addition of our Perrite Group’s Malaysian facility has led to significant growth and provides us with solid engineered plastics operations in Southeast Asia. Additionally, we are seeing organic growth across all product families in the region, as well as a stabilization of gross margins on a sequential basis. APAC is a key strategic market for us, and we are pleased with our progress in the region.”
Fiscal Second-Quarter Results
In the fiscal 2014 second quarter, net sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) segment increased 11.9% compared with the same period last year. During the quarter, the incremental contribution of the Perrite acquisition in EMEA was $21.4 million and 13.6 million pounds in net sales and volume, respectively. Additionally, sales and volume benefited from greater demand as a result of continued strengthening in the automotive market as well as strong performance in the Company’s engineered plastics business associated with the electronics & electrical markets. Foreign currency translation positively impacted net sales by $8.1 million. EMEA gross profit was $47.5 million for the quarter, an increase of $7.6 million compared with the same three-month period last year. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributed to the incremental contribution of the Perrite acquisition; favorable product mix; savings from successful purchasing initiatives and prior restructuring initiatives; and overall higher volumes. Foreign currency translation positively impacted EMEA gross profit by $0.9 million.
Net sales for the Americas increased by 8.9% compared with the prior-year period. This increase was primarily driven by the incremental contribution of the Network Polymers and Prime Colorants acquisitions which totaled $17.3 million and 12.2 million pounds in net sales and volume, respectively. Driven primarily by the devaluation of the Argentine peso, foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by $4.4 million. Gross profit for the Americas was $21.2 million in the quarter, an
increase of $2.5 million compared with the same period last year. Gross profit benefitted from recent acquisitions, and improved mix, which was partially offset by the negative impacts of lower volume and unfavorable $0.5 million of foreign currency translation.
During the quarter, net sales for the Company’s APAC segment increased approximately 67% compared with the same prior-year period. The incremental contribution of the Perrite acquisition in APAC was $13.7 million and 10.7 million pounds in net sales and volume, respectively. Excluding the Perrite acquisition, volume increased by 26% but was partially offset by decreased price per pound driven by competitive pricing pressures primarily in the masterbatch business. Gross profit for APAC for the quarter increased approximately 32.2% compared with the prior-year period. This increase was primarily attributed to the positive contribution from the Perrite acquisition and increased volume. Gross profit percentage declined as a result of competitive pricing pressures and the broadening of the Company’s product portfolio within the APAC region.
Year-to-Date Results
Net sales for the six months ended February 28, 2014 were $1.2 billion, an increase of 12.1% compared with the same period last year. Incremental net sales and volume from the Company’s recent acquisitions contributed $86.9 million and 60.5 million pounds, respectively. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, net sales were positively impacted by a 2.7% increase in price per pound and a 1% increase in volume. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted net sales by $14.9 million.
The Company’s SG&A expenses increased $12.8 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental SG&A expense of $4.6 million from recent acquisitions, higher incentive compensation expense of $3.4 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.3 million. SG&A expense, excluding certain items, was 9.5% of net sales for the six-month period. Operating income increased $6.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 2014, compared with the same prior-year period. Total operating income, before certain items, for the six months ended February 28, 2014, was $43.7 million, an increase of $10.4 million compared with a year ago.
Working Capital/Cash Flow From Operations
Cash used in operations was $8.7 million and $8.1 million for the six months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $44 million from August 31, 2013. This decrease was driven primarily by fiscal 2014 acquisitions which were only partially offset by an increase in net borrowings. Working capital was 66 days at the end of the fiscal 2014 second quarter, a decrease of two days when compared with the same period last year.
Capital expenditures for the six months were $16.5 million compared with $12.9 million last year. The increase in capital expenditures principally relates to a $3.5 million purchase of a previously leased manufacturing facility in the United States as well as regular and ongoing investments in the Company's global manufacturing facilities.
During the three- and six-month periods ended February 28, 2014, the Company declared and paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.20 and $0.40 per common share, respectively. The total amount of these dividends was $5.9 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
Business Outlook
“Driven by the trend of our positive European results, the continuation of relatively stable raw material pricing and modest global economic growth, we have raised our expectations for 2014 adjusted net income to a range of $2.23 to $2.28 per diluted share, which would represent an approximately 25% increase over the prior-year results using the high-end of this range,” Gingo said.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include segment gross profit, SG&A expenses excluding certain items, operating income excluding certain items, net income excluding certain items and net income per diluted share excluding certain items, as discussed further in the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are considered relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company’s results and business trends. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and tables included in this release reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for these purposes are gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are very significant limitations associated with their use. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Cautionary Statements
A number of the matters discussed in this document that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances and developments and may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements contain such words as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which management is unable to predict or control, that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements, and that could adversely affect the Company’s future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | worldwide and regional economic, business and political conditions, including continuing economic uncertainties in some or all of the Company’s major product markets or countries where the Company has operations; |
• | the effectiveness of the Company’s efforts to improve operating margins through sales growth, price increases, productivity gains, and improved purchasing techniques; |
• | competitive factors, including intense price competition; |
• | fluctuations in the value of currencies in areas where the Company operates; |
• | volatility of prices and availability of the supply of energy and raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of the Company’s products, particularly plastic resins derived from oil and natural gas; |
• | changes in customer demand and requirements; |
• | effectiveness of the Company to achieve the level of cost savings, productivity improvements, growth and other benefits anticipated from acquisitions, joint ventures and restructuring initiatives; |
• | escalation in the cost of providing employee health care; |
• | uncertainties regarding the resolution of pending and future litigation and other claims; |
• | the performance of the global automotive market as well as other markets served; |
• | further adverse changes in economic or industry conditions, including global supply and demand conditions and prices for products; and |
• | operating problems with our information systems as a result of system security failures such as viruses, computer "hackers" or other causes. |
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risk factors that could affect the Company’s performance are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013. In addition, risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Company. Should any known or unknown risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
