Multi Packaging Solutions Announces Third Quarter Results

Adjusted nine month EBITDA of $205 million, Adjusted nine month EPS of $0.64 per share

Strong cash flow provides for additional repayment of $15.0 million of debt in quarter

New York, NY, May 12, 2016 – Multi Packaging Solutions International Limited (NYSE: MPSX), (“MPS” or “the Company”), a global leader in value-added print and packaging solutions for the branded consumer, healthcare, and multi-media markets, today announced results for 3Q  FY 2016.

3Q FY 2016 vs 3Q FY 2015:

YTD FY 2016 vs YTD FY 2015:

Marc Shore, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our third fiscal quarter and nine months results notwithstanding certain challenges. Our nine month EBITDA results were a record $205 million with a record EBITDA margin of 15.9%.  Further, we have significantly deleveraged our balance sheet which includes an additional $15 million voluntary debt prepayment

on March 9, 2016.  On the negative side, foreign exchange rates impacted EBITDA by $12.2 million year to date, the cold and flu season was soft, and certain consumer customers had lower than expected sales.  On the positive side, global and cross selling sales initiatives are beginning to generate meaningful traction and operational improvements continue.  We have successfully integrated our acquisitions, have achieved our original synergy targets, and will continue to optimize our operations over the next several quarters.  For example, we have announced the intention to relocate our Stuttgart, Germany business and are working with the European Works Councils to this end.  We expect to consolidate this facility into other existing facilities in Germany in order to better serve our customers and gain operational efficiencies.  Our plans also include evaluating several other opportunities over the next few quarters in order to maximize the efficiency of our global manufacturing footprint.  In connection with these plans, the Company expects to record $5 million of restructuring and closure cost charges over the next four quarters.  We look forward to continued progress in global and cross selling sales initiatives, further self-help operational improvements and margin improvement, and opportunistic tuck–in acquisitions like Chicago Paper Tube in the quarters to come.”

Discussion of Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

GAAP net sales for 3Q FY 2016 and YTD FY 2016 were $399.2 million and $1,287.6 million vs net sales for 3Q FY 2015 and YTD FY 2015 of $416.2 million and $1,215.1 million.  3Q FY 2016 and YTD FY 2016 include negative foreign exchange effects of $13.3 million and $71.2 million.  Adjusted for acquisitions in fiscal 2015, net sales for 3Q FY 2016 were down $26.9 million vs. 3Q FY 2015.   This decrease was principally due to the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates, the anticipated and continuing decline in multi-media sales and the year over year decrease in sales to three consumer product companies.   

Gross margin for 3Q FY 2016 was 21.7%, up 140 basis points, vs. 20.3% for 3Q FY 2015.  This increase reflects the Company’s improved manufacturing efficiencies in our facilities, returns from our targeted capital spending programs, and $2.8 million of realized synergies from acquisitions.

GAAP operating income for 3Q FY 2016 was $26.0 million, up approximately 200 basis points, vs $18.8 million for 3Q 2015.  GAAP operating income for YTD FY 2016 was $73.8 million vs $61.5 million for YTD FY 2015.  Included in the current YTD period is approximately $27.0 million of stock compensation recorded in connection with the vesting of shares from the Company’s initial public offering.  Excluding this charge, operating income for YTD FY 2016 would have been $100.8 million, an increase of $39.3 million or approximately 280 basis points when compared to the same period in the prior year.

GAAP net income attributable to MPS for 3Q FY 2016 and YTD FY 2016 was $3.8 million and $8.9 million as compared to $6.8 million and $11.4 million for 3Q FY 2015 and YTD FY 2015. GAAP net income in 3Q FY 2016 and YTD FY 2016 include negative foreign exchange effects of $1.6 million and $12.2 million. In addition, GAAP net income for YTD 2016 includes the previously mentioned stock compensation expense.

Non GAAP net income attributable to MPS for 3Q FY 2016 and YTD FY 2016 were $8.8 million and $45.8 million vs non GAAP net income attributable to MPS for 3Q FY 2015 and YTD FY 2015 of $3.7 million and $16.6 million.  Adjustments to non GAAP net income are principally net of tax adjustments related to stock compensation expense, restructuring charges associated with plant closures, foreign exchange, expenses associated with acquisition transactions and debt extinguishment related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q FY 2016 was $58.4 million, up $1.1 million, vs. $57.3 million in 3Q FY 2015.  Adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.6% was driven by the Company’s targeted capital spending programs, plant improvement initiatives, and purchasing and cost savings programs. Acquisition adjusted pro forma EBITDA for 3Q FY 2016 of $58.4 million was down $0.2 million as compared to results from 3Q FY 2015.

Cash balances as of March 31, 2016 were $46.6 million. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.  Total debt net of cash was $899.8 million including deferred debt discount of $14.0 million. At March 31, 2016, trailing twelve months acquisition adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $260.4 million, and the pro forma leverage ratio was 3.5.

Non GAAP Financial Measures

The historical financial information included in this presentation includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA.  Management uses these non GAAP financial measures in the analysis of financial and operating performance because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Our use of the terms Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of others in our industry. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
