EveryWare Global, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results

Lancaster, OH - November 13, 2014 -- EveryWare Global, Inc. (“EveryWare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EVRY), announced today financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Led by the iconic Oneida and Anchor Hocking brands, EveryWare is a leading marketer of tabletop and food preparation products for the consumer and foodservice markets.
Third Quarter Results Overview:
Third quarter net revenue was $81.2 million, a decrease of $19.7 million or 19.6% from the prior year period.
Operating loss from continuing operations for the third quarter was $9.7 million, a decrease of $12.6 million from the prior year period.
Production restarted at our Lancaster, Ohio and Monaca, Pennsylvania facilities in mid-July.
Completed a comprehensive debt restructuring and new $20.0 million equity investment; recorded a $22.2 million loss on debt extinguishment.
Inventory reduced by $23.7 million since year end 2013.
Revised labor agreements at the Company’s Lancaster, Ohio operations.
Sam Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of EveryWare stated, “The third quarter financial results reflect the residual effects from our factory shutdowns and our liquidity issues that we addressed through our restructuring efforts. We are focused on the operational initiatives required to stabilize the business and create long term value. This includes restoring normal service levels and customer confidence. While operational improvements take time to produce improved results, I believe that we are on the right path.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014:
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $19.7 million or 19.6% to $81.2 million. The decrease in revenue is attributable to declines in our consumer, specialty, and foodservice segments of $10.7 million, $5.2 million, and $4.0 million, respectively. The sales decline was the result of lower customer orders. Sales were negatively impacted by our facility shut down, which resulted in reduced inventory and therefore lower order fulfillment rates, and by customer uncertainty regarding the company stemming from our lender negotiations and liquidity concerns.
Cost of sales decreased $12.2 million or 14.9% to $69.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to lower material, labor and factory overhead costs associated with the volume decline, partially offset by $2.7 million of lower overhead absorption resulting from substantially lower production levels as a result of the facility shut down, and to a lesser degree, higher excess and obsolete inventory write-downs. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 14.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 19.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The change in gross margin rate was primarily due to lower overhead absorption resulting from lower production levels as a result of the facility shut down and, to a lesser degree, higher excess and obsolete inventory write-downs.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014, increased $5.0 million, or 30.6% to $21.3 million. The increase was primarily the result of higher consulting and legal fees related to the development of cost savings and restructuring initiatives.
EBITDA from Continuing Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was a loss of $26.9 million. The decrease of $33.9 million was primarily due to lower overhead absorption resulting from substantially lower production levels, lower margin related to the decrease in revenues, higher factory costs and inventory write-downs, and higher operating expenses resulting from





consulting and restructuring activities as discussed above. For a reconciliation of EBITDA from Continuing Operations to Net (Loss) Income attributable to the Company, see the financial data at the end of this release.
Net loss from Continuing Operations increased $36.7 million to $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. After adjusting for the loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and other items described in the reconciliation of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations would have been $12.2 million and Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations per share would have been $0.59 per share. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations to Net Loss from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations per share to Net Loss from Continuing Operations per share, see the financial data at the end of this release.
For purposes of computing loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014, common shares of 20.6 million, representing the weighted average share count for the third quarter, was used. Actual common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2014 was 20.6 million.
On August 21, 2014, we sold the share capital of our Oneida International Limited (“Oneida International”) business to HUK 54 Limited, a subsidiary of Hilco Capital Limited (the “Buyer”), for consideration of an aggregate of £3.7 million consisting of indebtedness repaid by Buyer at closing, including amounts due to the Company and the repayment of Oneida International’s revolving credit facility. The sale did not include the right to license the ONEIDA®, Anchor Hocking® or Sant’ Andrea® brands, which are retained by the Company, subject to a four month exclusive European and Middle East license agreement expiring on December 31, 2014. We have accounted for the results of operations of our U.K. business as discontinued operations.
Liquidity Overview:
Net cash used in operating activities was $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million for the three months ended 2013. Cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $23.5 million from the prior year period, primarily due to higher operating losses and increased vendor payments. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, inventory balances from continuing operations were $87.4 million and $131.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash of approximately $4.6 million and approximately $14.0 million of unused availability under our ABL Facility.
On July 30, 2014, we announced that we amended our Term Loan Agreement and ABL Facility, along with entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Monomoy Capital Partners and certain of its affiliated funds (the “Monomoy Funds”), whereby the Monomoy Funds agreed to invest $20.0 million in return for our Series A Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $21.2 million and warrants to purchase 4,438,004 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Sponsor Warrants”).
The Term Loan Amendment provides for, among other things, a waiver of the events of default that occurred as a result of our failure to comply with the consolidated leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, revised financial covenants through the life of the term loan, a 50 basis point amendment fee and an increase in the term loan interest rate by 200 basis points (25 basis points payable in cash on a monthly basis and 175 basis points payable in kind on a quarterly basis). The Term Loan Amendment also provides that the financial covenants contained in the Term Loan will not be measured until March 31, 2015. In addition, the Term Loan Amendment provided for the issuance of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,958,670 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share to the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Lenders Warrants”).
The ABL Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase in the maximum revolver amount available under the ABL Facility from $55.0 million to $60.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations.

Non-GAAP Measures:
In accordance with the SEC’s Regulation G, the financial tables included herein provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release to the most closely related Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure. EveryWare believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that is useful to investors in understanding EveryWare’s core business and trends. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are the basis on which EveryWare’s management assesses performance. Although EveryWare believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors’ understanding of EveryWare’s business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
