KMG Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

FORT WORTH, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 10, 2016—KMG (NYSE: KMG), a global provider of specialty chemicals, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2016 second quarter ended January 31, 2016.

 

2016 Second Quarter Financial Highlights

 

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $11.0 million, up from $9.0 million in last year’s second quarter.

 

·

Adjusted diluted earnings per share2 was $0.40 vs. $0.30 per share reported in the prior year’s second quarter.

 

·

GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.33 vs. $0.47 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. EPS in last year’s second quarter benefited from a $0.31 per share gain on the sale of the creosote business.

Chris Fraser, KMG chairman and chief executive officer, said, “KMG had a solid second quarter, achieving year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth of 22% and a 33% increase in adjusted EPS. Our year-to-date cash flow more than doubled compared to the prior year, which is consistent with our focus on execution, driving operational efficiencies and maximizing margins and cash flow. Given our strong performance in the first half of the fiscal year and our expectations for continued year-over-year growth in the second half, we are increasing our fiscal 2016 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $43-45 million, from $40-42 million previously.”

 

Mr. Fraser continued, “Despite experiencing seasonal softness in the second quarter as well as a negative impact from foreign currency translation, our Electronic Chemicals business generated more than 50% year-over-year growth in operating income, benefiting from improved manufacturing efficiency due to consolidation of our global operations, lower distribution costs and a positive product mix.

 

“Our penta business performed well in the second quarter, aided by solid shipment volume and favorable raw materials costs. Although our industrial lubricants business faced headwinds from the downturn in the energy industry, this business contributed positively to sales and earnings as customers continue to conduct regular maintenance on existing infrastructure to enable optimal valve performance.”

For the second fiscal quarter, the Electronic Chemicals segment reported:

 

 

·

Sales of $62.5 million, down 6% from $66.6 million in the same period a year ago. The strong U.S. dollar reduced sales by $2.1 million as compared to the prior year period. Electronic Chemicals sales declined slightly in Europe and Asia.

 

·

GAAP operating income of $8.5 million vs. $5.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. Operating income and margin improved due to operating efficiencies from the restructuring and realignment of our electronic chemicals business, lower distribution costs and a more favorable product mix.

 

·

EBITDA3 of $11.5 million, compared to $8.7 million last year. Foreign currency translation reduced second quarter fiscal 2016 EBITDA by approximately $0.3 million as compared to the prior year period.

For the second fiscal quarter, the Other Chemicals segment reported:

 

 

·

Sales of $8.3 million versus $13.1 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in sales was due to the divestiture of the creosote business during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, partially offset by higher penta sales and the contribution from the industrial lubricants business.

 

·

Operating income of $2.8 million, or 33.6% of sales, compared to $1.6 million, or 12.1% of sales, last year. The increase in operating income and margin was due to lower raw material costs, a more favorable product mix, the contribution from the industrial lubricants business and the absence of lower-margin creosote sales.

 

·

EBITDA4 of $3.1 million, up from $1.6 million last year.

 

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

 

 

·

Sales: Consistent with our prior guidance, fiscal 2016 consolidated net sales are forecast to be approximately $300 million, which includes a projected foreign currency impact of approximately $7 million. In our Electronic Chemicals segment, we expect sales to be flat to up slightly compared to the prior year, excluding the effect of foreign currency. In our Other Chemicals segment, we expect sales to decrease compared to the prior year due to the divestiture of the creosote business, partially offset by the contribution from the industrial lubricants business.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA: We increase our adjusted EBITDA forecast to $43-45 million, from $40-42 million previously, reflecting the strong EBITDA level achieved in the first half, as well as our expectation for continued EBITDA growth, on a year-over-year basis, in both our Electronic Chemicals and Other Chemicals segments in the second half. Our fiscal 2016 adjusted EBITDA forecast includes an estimated $5

million in stock-based compensation expense and a $600,000 negative impact from foreign currency translation.  

 

·

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense is forecast to be approximately $14 million, excluding restructuring and realignment charges, compared to our prior forecast of $14-16 million.

 

·

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures are forecast to be approximately
$15 million, unchanged from our prior guidance. Capital expenditures include expenses related to our ERP system implementation and asset investments to support increased shipment volume in our Electronic Chemicals business.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures

KMG provides non-GAAP financial information to complement reported GAAP results. KMG believes that analysis of our financial performance would be enhanced by an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring and realignment charges and other nonrecurring items.

 

KMG intends to continue to provide certain non-GAAP financial information and the appropriate reconciliation to GAAP in its financial results. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of performance.
