Myers Industries Reports 2016 Third Quarter Results

GAAP EPS of $0.01; Adjusted EPS of $0.04

Company Maintains Full-Year Outlook

November 8, 2016, Akron, Ohio - Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Business Highlights

 

    Net sales decreased 6.3% (or 6.7% organic) compared to the third quarter of 2015

 

    Gross profit margin 27.1%, compared to 29.4% for the third quarter of 2015

 

    GAAP income per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.01, compared to $0.02 for the third quarter of 2015

 

    Adjusted income per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.04, compared to $0.09 for the third quarter of 2015

The Company reported third quarter net sales of $132.7 million, compared to $141.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. The reduction in sales was primarily the result of decreased capital spending in several of the Company’s key end markets and a decline in sales of retread products in the Distribution Segment. The gross profit margin decreased 230 basis points to 27.1% during the third quarter of 2016 due to operational inefficiencies resulting from lower sales volumes and an unfavorable product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32.9 million, compared to $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. Lower non-recurring compensation costs, reduced environmental expenses and other cost reductions led to the $6.2 million improvement.

President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Banyard commented, “Third quarter results were in line with our expectations as customers in both our Material Handling and Distribution segments continue to operate in a reduced capital spending environment. Despite lower sales, we delivered a strong quarter of free cash flow due primarily to process improvements in working capital management and a more disciplined approach to capital spending.”

Banyard continued, “We are maintaining our full-year 2016 outlook of sales declines in the mid-to-high single digits on a constant currency basis, and we expect to provide a preliminary outlook for 2017 in conjunction with our fourth-quarter results early next year. We believe that we have some meaningful opportunities to build upon an excellent product platform that provides safe and efficient solutions for a variety of niche applications and end-markets, and we are in the later stages of refining an enterprise strategy that will support these competitive strengths.”

Segment Results

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment for the third quarter of 2016 were down 2.8% (or 3.4% organic) vs. the third quarter of 2015 due primarily to declines in the food and beverage markets. The segment’s GAAP operating income was $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. The segment’s adjusted operating income was $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2015.

Net sales in the Distribution Segment for the third quarter of 2016 were down 13% vs. the third quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower sales of equipment and tire retread products. The segment continues to implement its new sales model which is designed to broaden market coverage and improve the overall sales process. The segment’s operating income was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2015. The segment’s adjusted operating income was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2015.

2016 Outlook

The Company anticipates that total revenue will be down mid-to-high single digits on a constant currency basis for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2016 primarily due to a continued weak capital spending environment.

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.
