“We are very pleased with our fourth quarter operating results, delivering on our guidance for the full year. As we anticipated, orders, sales and margins all improved sequentially, 6%, 3% and 70 basis points, respectively, in the face of a challenging global economic environment and tough prior year comparisons." said Milacron Chief Executive Officer, Tom Goeke. "In the end, our intense focus on executing our long-term strategic playbook drove Milacron to full-year constant currency sales growth of 2.8% and a robust 170 basis point margin expansion versus 2014, supported by mid-single digit growth in hot runners and related products, encouraging growth in our APPT Injection and Extrusion product lines and the continued expansion of the APPT aftermarket parts and service business."
"Entering 2016, we remain cautious and continue to monitor market conditions. Given the uncertainty of our global industrial end markets as we experienced in the latter of 2015, we will stay the course of executing our strategic fundamentals, which includes reducing our cost structure, optimizing our global manufacturing footprint and positioning our company for growth," continued Goeke.

Additional Financial Information

Milacron ended the fourth quarter of 2015 with cash and cash equivalents of $67.5 million and total debt of $954.6 million, excluding related debt issuance costs, at December 31, 2015, resulting in net debt of $887.1 million and a net total leverage ratio of 4.2x.

Our income tax expense of $2.7 million for the quarter was lower than expectations as a result of the successful closing of the CanGen acquisition in December. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized a one-time tax benefit of $4 million related to the reversal of valuation allowances in the U.S., resulting in an incremental $0.06 to our fourth quarter fully diluted adjusted earnings per share.

2016 Outlook
Milacron forecasts 0% to 2% organic sales growth in 2016, which is in line with current market conditions. Adjusted EBITDA margins are forecasted to be between 18.5% and 19.0%. Additionally, the company expects capital expenditures of approximately $50 to $55 million, interest expense to be approximately $60 million, cash taxes to be between $30 to $35 million, an effective tax rate of approximately 30% and shares outstanding to remain flat in 2016.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” "plan," “intend,” "should," “estimate” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements reflect management’s good faith beliefs, reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Except as required by law, Milacron undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to demand for our products being significantly affected by general economic conditions, any decline in the use of plastic, the competitiveness of the industries in which we operate and the financial resources of our competitors, our ability to successfully develop and implement strategic initiatives to increase cost savings and improve operating margins and the other risk factors set forth in our final prospectus in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO") dated June 24, 2015, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and other SEC filings, copies of which are available free of charge on our website at investors.milacron.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). To supplement this information, we also use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.






Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for the other items reflected in the reconciliation table set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is not a measure of financial condition or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual non-recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, debt service requirements and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future.

We view Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of our performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA not only due to its importance for purposes of our credit agreements but also because it assists us in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis as it excludes items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
as a measurement used in evaluating our consolidated and segment-level operating performance on a consistent basis;
to calculate incentive compensation for our employees
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to assess compliance with various metrics associated with our debt agreements.

We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items as well as items considered to be one-time or non-recurring to the operations of the business. While we believe these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors, because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net earnings (loss) attributable to Milacron Holdings Corp. before income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization further adjusted to exclude other items as reflected in the reconciliation table below.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by usual or non-recurring items. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementary.






Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income measures our operating performance by adjusting net earnings (loss) attributable to Milacron Holdings Corp. to exclude amortization expense, non-cash currency effect on intercompany loans, organizational redesign costs, long-term equity awards and shareholder fees, debt costs, acquisition integration costs, professional services, business combination costs and certain other non- recurring items. Management uses this measure to evaluate our core operating results as it excludes certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business, but includes certain items such as depreciation, interest expense and interest tax expense, which are otherwise excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Net Income enhances our investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance and cash flow of our business. You should not consider Adjusted Net Income as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Milacron Holdings Corp., determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance.
