QUAKER CHEMICAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

 

·Volume gains and gross margin drive good results despite foreign exchange impact

·Foreign currency exchange negatively impacts sales by 7% and EPS by $0.08 per share

·Strong operating cash flow generation, up $10 million from the prior year period

 

April 29, 2015

 

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR) today announced net sales of $181.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 net sales of $181.7 million. Despite year-over-year volume growth in the first quarter of 2015, these gains were offset by $12.1 million, or 7%, of lower net sales due to foreign currency exchange. Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015 were $0.78 compared to $0.96 for the first quarter of 2014, with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015 of $0.94 compared to $0.95 for the first quarter of 2014. The key driver in the decrease in reported earnings per diluted share compared to the first quarter of 2014 was a $2.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, charge related to the Company’s Venezuelan affiliate, noted below. The Company’s adjusted EBITDA was $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $23.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Overall, changes in foreign exchange rates significantly impacted the Company’s first quarter of 2015 reported and non-GAAP results, decreasing net income approximately $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

 

Michael F. Barry, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President commented, “We are pleased with our results this quarter in spite of a difficult global market with significant foreign exchange headwinds. Lower oil prices and a stronger U.S. Dollar have changed the dynamics of our customers’ markets and have negatively impacted both our top and bottom lines. However, our continued market share gains and recent acquisitions have helped us achieve stable sales and earnings despite these extreme changes in our environment.”

 

Mr. Barry continued, “Looking forward, we expect a challenging, but stable, market environment in many of the countries in which we operate, along with a continued strong U.S. Dollar. However, we remain committed to our strategy and believe our ability to increase market share and leverage our acquisitions will more than offset these market and exchange rate challenges. In addition, our strong cash flow and balance sheet will allow us to continue to pursue our key strategic initiatives and future acquisitions, which we believe will add significant shareholder value. Overall, I remain confident in our future and expect 2015 to be another good year for Quaker with increased earnings for the sixth consecutive year.”

First Quarter of 2015 Summary

 

Net sales for the first quarter of 2015 of $181.3 million were generally consistent with net sales for the first quarter of 2014 of $181.7 million. Increases in product volume, including additional sales from acquisitions, were offset by a decrease of $12.1 million, or 7%, due to the negative impacts of foreign currency exchange rate translation.

 

Gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2014, which was primarily driven by the higher product volume, noted above, and increased gross margin of 36.6% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 35.8% for the first quarter of 2014.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $2.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2014, which was driven by the net impact of several factors. Specifically, SG&A increased due to additional costs acquired with the Company’s prior year acquisitions, higher labor-related costs, and a first quarter of 2015 charge related to a cost streamlining initiative in South America. These SG&A increases were partially offset by decreases from foreign currency exchange rate translation and a first quarter of 2014 cost related to an amendment to the Company’s pension plan in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”).

 

Other expense was approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. In both quarters, the Company’s other expense was primarily driven by foreign exchange transactional losses, with a lower net loss in the first quarter of 2015 driving the year-over-year comparison.

 

Interest expense was $0.1 million higher in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding in the current quarter to fund the Company’s recent acquisition activity. Interest income was $0.1 million lower in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to interest received on a non-income tax credit in the first quarter of 2014.

 

The Company’s effective tax rates for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 were 30.8% and 34.8%, respectively. The primary contributors to the decrease in the current quarter’s effective tax rate were lower changes in reserves related to uncertain tax positions in the first quarter of 2015 and certain one-time items that increased the first quarter of 2014’s effective tax rate. We currently estimate the full year 2015 effective tax rate will approximate 30%.

 

Equity in net income of associated companies (“equity income”) decreased by $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, which was primarily due to the current quarter’s currency conversion charge recorded at the Company’s Venezuelan affiliate. Due to recent changes in Venezuela’s foreign exchange markets and controls, the Company re-assessed its Venezuelan affiliate’s access to U.S. Dollars and its ability to import or trade under the existing exchange markets as of March 31, 2015, which resulted in the first quarter of 2015 charge, noted above. In addition, equity income includes the Company’s interest in a captive insurance company, which was consistent in the current and prior year quarters.

 

The $0.4 million decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to the Company’s second quarter of 2014 acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in its Australian affiliate.

 

Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted the first quarter of 2015 net income by approximately $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items

 

The Company had net operating cash flows of approximately $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2015, a $9.9 million increase compared to cash outflows of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net operating cash flows primarily relates to lower cash invested in the Company’s working capital during the first quarter of 2015 due to improved working capital management. Overall, the Company’s liquidity remains strong, with net debt of $8.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and a consolidated leverage ratio that continues to be less than one times EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Included in this public release are non-GAAP (unaudited) financial measures of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are more indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not considered core to the Company’s operations. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following are reconciliations between the non-GAAP (unaudited) financial measures of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP (unaudited) financial measures:

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. A major risk is that the Company’s demand is largely derived from the demand for its customers’ products, which subjects the Company to downturns in a customer’s business and unanticipated customer production shutdowns. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, significant increases in raw material costs, customer financial stability, worldwide economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Other factors could also adversely affect us. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
