·

Marc Shore, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As we expected, the first quarter was challenging due to the headwinds that were previously discussed:  continued negative impact of foreign exchange rates, the discontinuation of a specific toy program, the exit from the tobacco business and the continued decline in multimedia sales.  Furthermore, we continued to struggle at four facilities, and some of our core customers had weaker sales than budgeted.  As previously noted, we will cycle through all of these challenges by the end of our fiscal second quarter, except for foreign exchange and media declines.

Notwithstanding these headwinds, there were significant accomplishments in the quarter.  We have a robust pipeline of new business which we will start benefiting from in early 2017.  This is driven in part by our ability to give customers consistently high quality products on a global basis.  MPS has also completed two strategic acquisitions in October and November that will enhance our offering for both labels in Europe and transaction cards in North America.  These acquisitions currently have combined annual revenue of $25 million. 

 

MPS has also taken several steps that are important to our future success:

 

·

The completion of our debt refinancing which will result in lower annual cash interest costs of approximately $10 million.

·

The final funding payment under the UK Pension Funding Arrangement was made, which will save approximately $9 million cash annually. 

·

Progress in streamlining our operational footprint.  We have internally announced the closure of three facilities and by June 30th 2017, we expect to close a total of six facilities.  This will result in approximately $20 million in savings annually.

·

Progress in our supply chain rationalization. 

 

In summary, the first half of fiscal 2017 will be challenging.  However, we are confident that the new sales pipeline, significant cost cutting measures, optimization of footprint, and strategic acquisitions will create momentum in the fiscal second half and drive our future growth and success.”

 

Discussion of Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Results

 

The Company completed its initial public offering in October 2015, and the comparability of the amounts below related to the balance sheet, debt and related interest expenses, and earnings per share amounts are significantly impacted on a year over year basis due to the offering.

 

GAAP net sales for 1Q FY 2017 were $407.8 million vs. net sales for 1Q FY 2016 of $459.1 million, which includes negative foreign exchange effects in 1Q FY 2017 of $17.4 million when compared to the prior period. On a segment basis, North American sales were down $26.2 million from the prior year principally due to the decline in the multi-media market and some weakness in health care. European sales were down $25.7 million principally due to foreign exchange, and weakness in the European drinks market. Asia sales were relatively flat year over year. 

 

In the multi-media market, sales in the quarter were down $20.6 million, of which $5.5 million was related to the toy project. In the consumer market, sales to customers in the tobacco industry and the drinks market for the United Kingdom were down $5.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.  Health care market sales in North America were  down $5.2 million.

 

Gross margin in 1Q FY 2017 was 20.7% compared to 21.6% in the prior year. The decline is principally due to the operational issues at specific facilities identified in the fourth quarter of FY 2016 that continued into the first quarter of FY 2017. These issues relate to the transfer of work from Scotland to China for the drinks business, lower absorption from manufacturing operations in the transaction card business due to weakness in EMV card sales, and costs associated with the German operations as they implement new ERP systems.

 

GAAP operating income for 1Q FY 2017 was $27.7 million vs. $40.7 million for 1Q FY 2016. Included in the current quarter is approximately $2.9 million of restructuring charges which primarily relate to the

previously announced relocation of the Company’s operations in Stuttgart, Germany as well as the announced closure of its Bradford, United Kingdom site which serves certain tobacco customers. The Company will also close one of its media facilities located in Louisville, Kentucky.

 

Cash balances as of September 30, 2016 were $50.6 million. There were no amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility as of that date. Total debt, net of cash, was $853.7 million including deferred finance fees and debt discount of $15.1 million. At September 30, 2016, trailing twelve months acquisition adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $237.7 million, and the pro forma leverage ratio was 3.65.

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, pro forma adjusted net income per share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and acquisition adjusted pro forma 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, pro forma adjusted net income per share, Adjusted Operating Income Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and acquisition adjusted pro forma EBITDA may differ from that of others in our industry. These items 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, pro forma adjusted net income per share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and acquisition adjusted pro forma 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.

For the three and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, Free Cash Flow was calculated as follows:

As supplemental information, the Company also provides Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from sale of  assets, less cash interest paid, cash tax paid, core working capital changes (accounts reveivable, accounts payable, inventory) and payments made related to the funding of the UK Field pension plan. The Company views Adjusted Free Cash Flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash generated by the core business operations.
