Myers Industries Reports 2017 Second Quarter Results

Strong cash flow generation continues; lean initiatives gaining traction    

August 1, 2017, Akron, Ohio - Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Business Highlights

 

    Net sales decreased 1.3% (or 1.2% excluding currency fluctuation) compared to the second quarter of 2016

 

    Gross profit margin of 27.6% compared to 30.9% in the second quarter of 2016

 

    GAAP net income per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.07, compared to $0.19 in the second quarter of 2016

 

    Adjusted net income per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.17, compared to $0.21 in the second quarter of 2016

 

    Generated cash from continuing operations of $10.6 million and free cash flow of $8.7 million

The Company reported net sales of $142.3 million, compared to $144.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. Gross profit margin decreased 330 basis points to 27.6% as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher restructuring and manufacturing costs in the Material Handling Segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million to $33.2 million, in the second quarter of 2017, with the increase in expenses primarily attributable to higher compensation costs and professional fees, partially offset by lower facility costs.

President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Banyard commented, “We made excellent progress in the second quarter on our strategic initiatives to improve cash flow and long-term earnings potential. Year-to-date, free cash flow was $21.3 million, compared to cash used of $13.6 million last year. This improvement underlines the Company’s increased flexibility of operations, disciplined capital spending and focus on working capital. Further signs of our progress include year-over-year sales growth in the Material Handling Segment during the second quarter, driven by our strategic focus on targeted niche markets. Our strategic restructuring activities, which caused temporary increases in costs during the quarter, are well underway. We are confident that our lean initiatives are gaining traction and that the Company is poised for significant improvements in long-term performance.”

Segment Results

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment increased 2.1% (or 2.0% excluding currency fluctuation) as compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased volume in the Company’s consumer and vehicle end markets. GAAP operating income was $7.4 million compared to $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2017 included restructuring and related charges of $3.8 million. Adjusted operating income was $11.7 million compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decline in adjusted operating income was primarily the result of operational inefficiencies and the impact from higher commodity prices that the Company has begun to offset with price increases.

Net sales in the Distribution Segment declined 9.2% as compared to the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of soft market demand in the early part of the quarter, overall weakness in the export business, and year-over-year revenue decline from 2016 territory gaps. Operating income was $3.0 million compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in operating income was primarily the result of lower sales volumes.

2017 Outlook

The Company continues to anticipate that total revenue will be flat on a constant currency basis in fiscal year 2017 as compared to the prior year. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $10 to $12 million, net interest expense in the range of $8 to $9 million, depreciation and amortization in the range of $32 to $34 million, and an effective tax rate (normalized) of approximately 36%.

Note on Reconciliation of Income and Earnings Data: Income from continuing operations as adjusted and adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that Myers Industries, Inc. calculates according to the schedule above, using GAAP amounts from the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that the excluded items are not primarily related to core operational activities. The Company believes that income (loss) excluding items that are not primarily related to core operating activities is generally viewed as providing useful information regarding a company’s operating profitability. Management uses income (loss) excluding these items as well as other financial measures in connection with its decision-making activities. Income (loss) excluding these items should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) before taxes or other consolidated income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s method for calculating income (loss) excluding these items may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.
