FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

 

 

 

Libbey Inc. Announces First-Quarter 2020 Results

 

 

 

TOLEDO, Ohio, (June 19, 2020) --Libbey Inc. (OTC: LBYYQ), one of the world's largest glass tableware manufacturers, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

 

First-quarter 2020 Financial & Operating Highlights

 

 

Net sales were $150.5 million, a decrease of 14.0 percent, versus the prior-year period as volumes were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense was reduced by $6.1 million versus the prior year.

 

Net loss was ($78.7) million, compared to net loss of ($4.5) million in the first quarter of 2019. Net loss in the first quarter of 2020 was affected by a $38.4 million non-cash goodwill impairment in our U.S. and Canada segment and a $12.9 million non-cash charge related to the loss of hedge accounting treatment on our derivative contracts. Additionally, the Company recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets in all of the operating jurisdictions which accounted for nearly all of the $20.4 million of tax expense, or a (34.9) percent effective tax rate.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (see Table 1) increased 3.7 percent versus the prior year to $10.1 million. The weaker sales demand experienced during the latter half of the first quarter of 2020 was offset by SG&A savings and a favorable currency impact during the quarter.

 

Free Cash Flow (see Table 2) was favorable by $2.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2019 driven by Trade Working Capital and reductions in capital expenditures.

 

“During the early months of 2020, Libbey's core USC and LATAM business segments were performing well, delivering strong Adjusted EBITDA and margin results on a run rate basis,” said Mike Bauer, Libbey's chief executive officer. "Our team came into 2020 prepared to build on the strong momentum we captured across our business in the second half of 2019, while continuing to execute our plans to reduce costs and improve cash flow generation. For the majority of the quarter, our operating performance exceeded our initial forecast; however, beginning in mid-March, our business results were materially impacted by COVID-19. Mandated shutdowns across a large part of the U.S. and global economy were felt across our key end markets, with the foodservice industry being one of the most directly impacted. This global pandemic negatively impacted our first quarter performance, but it also introduced significant uncertainty into the future demand landscape, particularly in our core U.S. foodservice channel.”

 

Bauer continued, “As the restaurant and foodservice industries quickly reacted to the non-essential business restrictions and social distancing guidelines from federal, state and local governments, Libbey moved swiftly to lower costs and preserve liquidity by temporarily suspending production and distribution across our U.S. facilities, temporary layoffs and furloughs across the hourly and salary workforces, pay reductions for all U.S. salary associates, and significant cutbacks to planned 2020 capital expenditures. Because of the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market volatility, we are unable to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact it will have on our business.”

 

“To navigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and to address the upcoming debt maturities, Libbey elected to file a voluntary petition for a court-supervised reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.” Bauer continued, “We are convinced that the outcome of the Chapter 11 process will better position the Company for the future and is an appropriate and necessary step to minimize further disruption to the business and continue to serve our customers, while working to protect the interests of all stakeholders. We are in truly unprecedented times in Libbey's 200-year history and we remain focused on providing our end users and customers with superior quality products that are environmentally sustainable, beautiful and durable. We are already seeing improvements as states lift stay-at-home orders and we continue to execute against our previously announced planned turnaround and cost reduction efforts. I would like to take a moment to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to our employees around the globe for their continued dedication, especially during times of unprecedented uncertainty. They are what make Libbey products exceptional, and we could not be here without their unwavering commitment to our Company.”

Net sales in the U.S. & Canada segment decreased 12.8 percent, primarily driven by lower volume and unfavorable channel mix, partially offset by favorable price and mix of product sold.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

 

The Company had available capacity of $5.4 million under its ABL credit facility at March 31, 2020, with $68.1 million in loans outstanding and cash on hand of $66.1 million.

 

At March 31, 2020, Trade Working Capital (see Table 3), defined as accounts receivable plus inventories less accounts payable, was $176.7 million, a $39.7 million improvement compared to $216.4 million at March 31, 2019. The improvement was a result of lower inventories, lower accounts receivable, partially offset by lower accounts payable.

 

 

Juan Amezquita, Libbey's senior vice president and chief financial officer, commented, “We began the year performing ahead of our Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow expectations, while demonstrating solid operating performance. This progress was halted by the emergence of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which significantly impacted our top line results as net sales dropped 14 percent versus the prior-year period. The reorganization actions enacted in the Fall of 2019 drove SG&A nearly 20 percent lower versus prior year and resulted in year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA included a $5.2 million benefit from favorable currency movements versus the prior-year quarter.”

 

“The dramatic reduction in demand across the closing month of the quarter and the high level of near-term macroeconomic uncertainty led the company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020. As a result of this testing, the USC reporting segment recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $38.4 million.” Amezquita concluded, “As Mike mentioned, we have implemented a number of immediate cost-saving actions to respond to the unprecedented demand environment we are experiencing today. We will continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet and improving the cash flow performance of the Company. The voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 are a necessary step and will position Libbey better for the future.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement the condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Income from Operations (Adjusted IFO), Adjusted IFO Margin, Free Cash Flow, Trade Working Capital, Adjusted Selling, General & Administrative Expense (Adjusted SG&A), Adjusted SG&A Margin and our Debt Net of Cash to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. Reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.

 

Our non-GAAP measures, as defined below, are used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report similar non-GAAP measures. Libbey believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of core business operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures, when viewed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for additional transparency of financial results and business outlook. In addition, we use non-GAAP data internally to assess performance and facilitate management's internal comparison of our financial performance to that of prior periods, as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of our non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and may have limitations as an analytical tool. We define our non-GAAP measures as follows:

 

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items, when applicable, that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance, and we define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

 

 

We define Adjusted IFO as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, other (income) expense, and special items, when applicable, that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance, and we define Adjusted IFO Margin as Adjusted IFO divided by net sales.

 

 

We define Trade Working Capital as net accounts receivable plus net inventories less accounts payable.

We define Adjusted SG&A as U.S. GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less special items that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance, and we define Adjusted SG&A Margin as Adjusted SG&A divided by net sales.

 

 

We define Free Cash Flow as the sum of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

 

 

We define our Debt Net of Cash to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio as gross debt on the balance sheet plus unamortized discount and finance fees, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (defined above).

 

 

Constant Currency

 

We translate revenue and expense accounts in our non-U.S. operations at current average exchange rates during the year. References to "constant currency," "excluding currency impact" and "adjusted for currency" are considered non-GAAP measures. Constant currency references regarding net sales reflect a simple mathematical translation of local currency results using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rate. Constant currency references regarding Gross Profit, Adjusted IFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin comprise a simple mathematical translation of local currency results using the comparable prior period's currency conversion rate plus the transactional impact of changes in exchange rates from revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. We believe this non-GAAP constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our core operating results, better identifies operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by exchange rate changes and provides a higher degree of transparency of information used by management in its evaluation of our ongoing operations. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our currency market risks include currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, euro and Chinese renminbi.

Segment EBIT represents earnings before interest and taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs and other allocations that are not considered by management when evaluating performance. Segment EBIT also includes an allocation of manufacturing costs for inventory produced at a Libbey facility that is located in a region other than the end market in which the inventory is sold. This allocation can fluctuate from year to year based on the relative demands for products produced in regions other than the end markets in which they are sold.
