Momentive Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results
Second Quarter Highlights
Net sales were $586 million, an increase of 9% sequentially and a slight decline of 3% year-over-year.
Net loss of $10 million compared with net income of $12 million in the prior year period.
Segment EBITDA was $66 million, an increase of 61% sequentially and 10% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, Segment EBITDA increased 15% year-over-year.
Operating cash flow was $54 million compared with $8 million in the first half of 2015.
Strong balance sheet with significant liquidity of $415 million as of June 30, 2016.

WATERFORD, N.Y. (August 9, 2016) - MPM Holdings Inc. (“Momentive” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: MPMQ) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

“We are pleased with our improvement in operating performance, which reflects our ongoing transformation initiatives, including growth investments, productivity initiatives, and improved production reliability,” said Jack Boss, Chief Executive Officer and President. “Despite a relatively weak global economic environment, in the second quarter of 2016 we delivered $66 million of Segment EBITDA, a significant sequential and year-over-year improvement. Our previously announced global restructuring program is also progressing favorably and in May 2016 we began restructuring the Quartz segment which we expect to deliver approximately $5 million of incremental annual cost savings when fully implemented in 2017.”

Mr. Boss added: “We are seeing solid momentum in our business due to our growth initiatives, investments in operational reliability, and our global restructuring program. We continue to invest in areas where we have a strategic advantage, such as our NXT* silanes expansion in Leverkusen, Germany and a newly announced Silquest A-Link production expansion in Sistersville, West Virginia, as well as other growth projects that remain on track. We believe that our strategic investments and restructuring actions will position us well as end markets improve.”





Second Quarter 2016 Results
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $586 million, a decrease of 3% compared with $602 million in the prior-year period. The decline in net sales was driven by lower silicone volumes primarily due to softer demand in the Asia Pacific region, partially offset by improved product mix and higher quartz sales.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $66 million, an increase of 10% compared with $60 million in the prior-year period. The increase in Segment EBITDA was primarily driven by cost reductions and raw material deflation in the silicones segment. See “Non-U.S. GAAP Measures” and Schedule 4 to this release for further information regarding Segment EBITDA for a reconciliation of Segment EBITDA to net (loss) income.

Segment Results
Following are net sales and Segment EBITDA by reportable segment for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. Corporate is primarily corporate, general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the operating segments, such as certain shared service and administrative functions.

Global Restructuring Program
As previously announced during the fourth quarter of 2015 and as increased in March and May of 2016, Momentive has targeted $35 million in annual structural cost reduction initiatives through a global restructuring program. As of June 30, 2016, actions for the restructuring program have been implemented and the Company expects to deliver approximately $25 million in savings in 2016. Momentive expects to incur costs of approximately $15 million, primarily for severance associated with the cost savings program. The targeted savings are being achieved primarily through a reduction in force and delayering of our organization mostly in selling, general and administrative roles, as well as productivity actions at our operating facilities.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2016, Momentive had net debt, which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents, of approximately $1.0 billion. In addition, at June 30, 2016, Momentive had approximately $415 million in liquidity, including $206 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $209 million of availability under its senior secured asset-based revolving loan facility. Momentive expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future from cash on its balance sheet, cash flows provided by operating activities and amounts available for borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
Segment EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for certain non-cash and certain other income and expenses. Segment EBITDA is an important measure used by the Company's senior management and board of directors to evaluate operating results and allocate capital resources among segments. Segment EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) or other results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See Schedule 4 to this release for a reconciliation of Segment EBITDA to net (loss) income.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash and certain non-recurring items and other adjustments calculated on a pro-forma basis, including the expected future cost savings from business optimization or other programs and the expected future impact of acquisitions, in each case as determined under the governing debt instrument. As the Company is highly leveraged, the Company believes that including the supplemental adjustments that are made to calculate Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the Company’s ability to comply with its financial covenants and to obtain additional debt in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on the Company’s indebtedness, depreciation and amortization expense (because the Company uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of the Company’s costs and ability to generate revenue), working capital needs, tax payments (because the payment of taxes is part of the Company’s operations, it is a necessary element of the Company’s costs and ability to operate), non-recurring expenses and capital expenditures. Fixed Charges under the indentures should not be considered as an alternative to interest expense. See Schedule 5 to this release for a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio.








Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements related to our transformation and restructuring activities, growth and productivity initiatives, anticipated cost savings, growth, and market recovery, and competitiveness. In addition, our management may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seek” or “intend” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future events and conditions and are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and our current business plans. Actual results could vary materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect our operations, markets, services, prices and other factors as discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements as it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: a weakening of global economic and financial conditions, interruptions in the supply of or increased cost of raw materials, changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof and related compliance and litigation costs, difficulties with the realization of cost savings in connection with our global restructuring, transformation and strategic initiatives, including transactions with our affiliate, Hexion Inc., pricing actions by our competitors that could affect our operating margins, our ability to obtain additional financing, and the other factors listed in the Risk Factors section of our SEC filings. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
