On an adjusted basis, earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were $9.9 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.19 per share, respectively. Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure for which a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP-based measure is provided within this release. Consolidated net sales totaled $216.2 million and $235.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On a constant currency basis, Composite Fibers’ and Airlaid Materials’ net sales decreased by 6.3% and 7.2%, respectively.

 

“Glatfelter’s solid second quarter results, in the midst of a global pandemic, demonstrate the resiliency of our new business model and continued demand for our portfolio of engineered materials that are essential for producing a variety of consumer staples,” said Dante C. Parrini, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Composite Fibers outperformed expectations for the quarter, due in part to strong shipments in the food and beverage category and better than expected demand for wallcover products. Profitability for this segment relative to guidance was also better than expected, driven by lower downtime and continued cost control.”

 

In Airlaid Materials, we saw exceptional growth in home care and health and hygiene products, although overall shipments for the segment were hampered by the pandemic’s impact on tabletop demand as restaurants around the globe were either closed or operating at dramatically reduced capacity. Despite this headwind on volumes, Airlaid Materials achieved record quarterly EBITDA with margin of 19%.”

 

Mr. Parrini added, “I am proud of how Glatfelter PEOPLE are responding to the challenges related to COVID-19 and are successfully continuing to operate globally while keeping our workforce safe. Glatfelter’s ongoing transformation into a more agile and cost-effective business, coupled with a portfolio of essential consumer staples, have enabled us to optimize performance in this unprecedented and volatile year. The trust and confidence of our customers have been further strengthened in these uncertain times by consistently and reliably delivering premium quality products. Due to the strength of our improved balance sheet, the Board demonstrated its commitment to a steady return of capital to shareholders by increasing the dividend in the second quarter.”

Composite Fibers’ net sales decreased $10.4 million or 7.9%, compared to the year-ago quarter driven by lower shipments of wallcover products, which were down 49%, as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2.0 million.

 

Composite Fibers’ operating income of $11.5 million was $1.5 million lower, or approximately 12% unfavorable, compared to the second quarter of 2019. Lower shipping volumes impacted results by $2.1 million driven predominantly by lower wallcover demand. The downtime required to manage inventory levels for nonwoven wallcover products was mostly offset by improved operations, strong cost control actions and higher production to meet strong demand in our food and beverage category. A benefit of $3.1 million from lower input prices, primarily wood pulp, was partially offset by $2.0 million impact from lower selling prices. Currency unfavorably impacted results by $0.2 million compared to the year-ago quarter.

Airlaid Materials’ net sales decreased $8.4 million in the year-over-year comparison. Shipments were lower by 2.2% due to weak demand for tabletop products as restaurants globally were closed or operated at dramatically limited capacity. This shortfall in demand was mostly offset by strong orders for home care and health and hygiene products. Selling prices were $4.6 million lower due to contractual cost pass-through arrangements, while currency translation was unfavorable by $1.1 million.

 

Airlaid Materials’ second quarter 2020 operating income of $12.3 million was $1.9 million favorable, or approximately 19% higher, when compared to the second quarter of 2019. Improved sales mix favorably impacted results by $0.6 million, while price declines due to contractual raw material pass-through provisions were more than offset by lower raw material and energy prices, adding net $0.5 million of profit. Efficient operations complemented by disciplined cost control favorably impacted results by $0.9 million, driven by higher demand for essential product categories and improved performance in both North American facilities compared to the year-ago quarter.

 

 

Other Financial Information

 

The amount of “Other and Unallocated” operating expense in the table of Segment Financial Information totaled $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared with $8.2 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the second quarter of 2020 increased $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2019.

 

As previously reported in 2019, the Company terminated its qualified pension plan. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $6.3 million charge for excise taxes, net of post settlement adjustments, in connection with the completion of the reversion of $55.5 million of excess pension plan assets. After transferring $14.1 million to a suspense account to fund future 401(k) contributions and accruing $8.3 million of excise taxes, approximately $33.1 million became available for general corporate purposes.

 

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $0.9 million related to a trade name intangible asset acquired in connection with the 2013 Dresden wallcover acquisition. The charge was due to a change in the estimated fair value of the trade name, primarily driven by lower forecasted wallcover revenues associated with economic instability in Russia and Ukraine and incremental impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on this business.

 

In the second quarter of 2020, income from continuing operations totaled $0.3 million and income tax expense totaled $2.6 million. On adjusted pre-tax income of $14.5 million, income tax expense was $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2020. The comparable amounts in the same quarter of 2019 were $13.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings was 32% in the second quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet and Other Information

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $76.6  million as of June 30, 2020, and net debt was $270.9 million compared with $233.7 million at the end of 2019. The increase in net debt primarily reflects working capital and the funding of a 401(k) suspense account in connection with the completion of the pension plan asset reversion. Net leverage on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 2.4 times and 2.2 times, respectively. (Refer to the calculation of this measure provided in the tables at the end of this release.)  

 

Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2020 and 2019 totaled $12.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively. Adjusted free cash flow for the six months of 2020 was a use of $12.9 million compared with a use of $29.9 million in the year earlier period. (Refer to the calculation of measure provided in the tables at the end of this release.)

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release includes a measure of earnings before the effects of certain specifically identified items, which is referred to as adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP measure. The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted earnings to supplement the understanding of its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings is meant to present the financial performance of the Company’s core operations, which consist of the production and sale of composite fibers papers and airlaid non-woven materials. Management and the Company’s Board of Directors use non-GAAP adjusted earnings to evaluate the performance of the Company’s fundamental business in relation to prior periods and established business plans. For purposes of determining adjusted earnings, the following items are excluded:

 

 

Restructuring charge – Metallized operations. This adjustment represents the charges incurred in connection with the decision to restructure a portion of the Composite Fibers segment, primarily consisting of the consolidation of our metallizing operation from Gernsbach, Germany to our Caerphilly, UK site. For the second quarter, the charge includes a non-cash charge of $2.3 million associated with accelerated depreciation and the write-off of inventory and spare parts in addition to cash severance costs totaling $2.8 million.

 

Cost optimization actions. These adjustments reflect charges incurred in connection with initiatives to optimize the cost structure of the Company, including costs related to the organizational change to a functional operating model. The costs are primarily related to executive separations, other headcount reductions, professional fees, asset write-offs and certain contract termination costs. These adjustments, which have occurred at various times in the past, are irregular in timing and relate to specific identified programs to reduce or optimize the cost structure of a particular operating segment or the corporate function.

 

Pension settlement expenses, net. This adjustment reflects expenses incurred in connection with the termination of the Company’s qualified pension plan in 2019 and the reversion of excess pension plan assets to the Company in the second quarter of 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred a $75.3 million pension settlement charge in connection with the termination of the plan. Since the pension plan was fully funded, the settlement of the pension obligations did not require the use of the Company’s cash, but instead was accomplished with plan assets. In connection with the reversion of excess pension plan assets in the second quarter of 2020, the Company incurred pension settlement expenses related to excise taxes, net of post settlement adjustments and certain related professional fees.

 

COVID-19 incremental costs. This adjustment represents incremental cash costs incurred directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as mill employee incentive payments, enhanced hygiene protocols, safety and supplies.

 

Asset Impairment Charge. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of a tradename intangible asset of the Dresden wallcover business due to the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the underlying forecasted revenue stream.

 

Airlaid capacity expansion. These adjustments reflect non-capitalized, one-time costs incurred related to the start-up of a new airlaid production facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas and implementation of a new business system.

 

Debt refinancing costs. Represents a charge to write-off unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with the redemption of the Company’s $250 million, 5.375% Notes.

 

Strategic initiatives. These adjustments primarily reflect professional and legal fees incurred directly related to evaluating and executing certain strategic initiatives including costs associated with acquisitions and the related integration.

 

Fox River environmental matter. This adjustment excludes a gain and reflects a decrease in the Company’s overall reserve included in income for the Fox River matter primarily due to the resolution of the litigation in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Timberland sales and related costs. These adjustments exclude gains from the sales of timberlands as these items are not considered to be part of our core business, ongoing results of operations or cash flows. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may benefit our operating results.

 

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act 2020. This adjustment reflects the tax benefit recognized as a result of the March 27, 2020 change in U.S. tax law which, among others, allows net operating losses to be carried back five years.

 

Unlike net income determined in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP adjusted earnings does not reflect all charges and gains recorded by the Company for the applicable period and, therefore, does not present a complete picture of the Company’s results of operations for the respective period. However, non-GAAP adjusted earnings provide a measure of how the Company’s core operations are performing, which management believes is useful to investors because it allows comparison of such operations from period to period. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
