QUAKER HOUGHTON ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

 

November 12, 2019

 

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – Quaker Chemical Corporation (“the Company”, also known as Quaker Houghton) (NYSE: KWR) today announced third quarter results including net sales of $325.1 million, which represented an increase of 46% compared to the prior year period. The Company completed its combination with Houghton International, Inc. (“Houghton”), herein referred to as “the Combination”, on August 1, 2019. Therefore, two months of Houghton’s operations are included in the Company’s third quarter results described in this press release. Excluding Houghton’s net sales, which amounted to $119.5 million, current quarter net sales would have declined 7%, primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes of approximately 4% and a negative impact from foreign currency translation of 2%. On a pro-forma basis, Quaker Houghton estimates net sales of approximately $386 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which also reflects a decline of 7% compared to approximately $417 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to similar negative volume and foreign exchange declines, noted above.

 

On a reported basis, the Company’s third quarter of 2019 net loss was $13.1 million or $0.80 per diluted share compared to third quarter of 2018 net income of $19.7 million or $1.47 per diluted share. Excluding one-time costs associated with the Combination, restructuring expenses and all other non-core items in each period, the Company’s third quarter of 2019 non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share were $25.3 million and $1.56, respectively, compared to $21.8 million and $1.63, respectively, in the prior year third quarter. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share reflect the timing of the Combination’s close and its related increase to the Company’s share count on August 1, 2019 and two months of Houghton’s earnings. The Company’s current quarter adjusted EBITDA of $51.4 million, which also includes two months of Houghton’s earnings, increased 56% compared to $33.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 due to the Combination. On a pro forma basis, Quaker Houghton estimates a net loss of approximately $20 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to net income of approximately $23 million in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA of approximately $61 million in the third quarter of 2019 increased 3% compared to approximately $59 million in the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to improved gross margin, lower SG&A and an increase in foreign exchange transaction gains partially offset by lower net sales, discussed above, and the negative impact of foreign exchange translation.

 

Michael F. Barry, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We experienced challenging market conditions in the third quarter. Our sales were negatively impacted by weaker end market conditions and more significant foreign exchange headwinds than projected last quarter. This was largely driven by the compounding conditions of a weak global automotive market, a generally weaker industrial environment in most parts of the world, some customer inventory corrections and the continued strength of the U.S. dollar. However, there are positives as well. We continued to take market share which partially offset the declines in our markets, we achieved our targeted gross margin, and we have made good progress with our integration and are on track to achieve our targeted integration cost synergies. Despite the 7% decrease in our pro forma net sales, these positive developments all contributed to our pro forma adjusted EBITDA growing 3% in the third quarter compared to the prior year. Overall, I continue to be confident in our future as Quaker Houghton and we remain committed to delivering on our two-year targets for synergies, adjusted EBITDA and leverage. Also, I reaffirm our previous guidance for the full year 2019 pro forma Quaker Houghton adjusted EBITDA, which results in expected pro forma adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter to be in the range of between $52 million and $59 million.”

Third Quarter 2019 Consolidated Results

 

Net sales were $325.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $222.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The net sales increase of 46% quarter-over-quarter includes additional net sales from Houghton of $119.5 million. Excluding Houghton’s net sales, current quarter net sales would have declined 7%, reflecting a decrease in sales volumes of approximately 4%, a negative impact from foreign currency translation of 2% and a decline in selling price and product mix of 1%.

 

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2019 increased $24.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to the additional net sales from Houghton, noted above. The Company’s reported gross margin in the current quarter was 32.3%, which includes a $10.2 million expense associated with selling Houghton’s inventory during the third quarter of 2019 which was adjusted to fair value in accordance with purchase accounting. Excluding this one-time increase to cost of goods sold (“COGS”), the Company estimates that its gross margin would have been 35.5% in the current quarter compared to 36.5% in the third quarter of 2018. This decrease in gross margin quarter-over-quarter was primarily the result of price and product mix due to lower gross margins in the Houghton business.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter of 2019 increased $27.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to additional SG&A from Houghton, partially offset by lower SG&A due to foreign currency translation, the impact of the sales decline, noted above, on direct selling costs, and the initial benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company incurred $14.7 million of Houghton combination and other acquisition-related expenses, primarily for legal, financial, and other advisory and consultant expenses for integration planning and regulatory approvals as well as professional fees associated with closing the Combination on August 1, 2019. Comparatively, the Company incurred $2.9 million of expenses in the prior year, primarily due to various professional fees related to integration planning and regulatory approval.

 

The Company initiated a restructuring program and recorded restructuring expense during the third quarter of 2019 of $24.0 million as part of its global plan to realize cost synergies associated with the Combination. The Company expects reductions in headcount and site closures to occur over the next two years under this program.

 

Operating loss in the third quarter of 2019 was $14.5 million compared to operating income of $24.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the Combination and other acquisition-related charges, restructuring expenses and other non-core items, the Company’s current quarter non-GAAP operating income increased to $34.5 million compared to $27.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to additional net sales and operating income from Houghton. Also, the Company estimates that during the third quarter of 2019 it achieved approximately $2 million in synergies related to the Combination, on a combined company pro-forma basis as compared to the prior year. The Company continues to estimate that total anticipated cost synergies related to the Combination, including cost savings from the restructuring program, noted above, will be $60 million once all cost savings actions have been implemented by the second year after close.

 

The Company had other income, net, of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to other expense, net, of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. The quarter-over-quarter change was primarily driven by foreign currency transaction gains of $0.4 million in the current quarter compared to losses of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.

 

Interest expense, net, increased $5.1 million compared to the prior year as a result of additional borrowings under the Company’s new term loans and revolving credit facility to finance the closing of the Combination on August 1, 2019, described further in the Balance Sheet and Cashflow Highlights section, below.

 

The Company’s effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018 were 27.6% and 18.5%, respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate was affected by the Combination and other acquisition-related charges and restructuring expenses incurred which resulted in a loss before taxes. Excluding the impact of these and other non-core items in each quarter, the Company estimates that its effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018 would have been approximately 20% and 22%, respectively. The Company’s lower current quarter effective tax rate was due primarily to a cumulative year-to-date tax benefit recorded during the third quarter of 2019 as a result of one of its subsidiaries receiving approval for the renewal of a concessionary 15% tax rate compared to its 25% statutory tax rate. The concessionary tax rate was available to the Company’s subsidiary during all quarters of 2018.

Equity in net income of associated companies increased $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to additional earnings from Houghton’s 50% interest in a joint venture in Korea and slightly higher earnings from the Company’s interest in a captive insurance company.

 

Foreign exchange positively affected the Company’s third quarter of 2019 earnings by approximately 1% or $0.01 per diluted share, primarily due to the current quarter benefit of foreign exchange transaction gains compared to foreign exchange losses in the prior year, partially offset by a negative impact from foreign currency translation of approximately 1% due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the current quarter.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

The Company had net operating cash flow of $35.5 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $50.9 million in the first nine months of 2018. The decrease in net operating cash flow year-over-year was primarily due to higher Combination-related payments, including costs incurred prior to close of the Combination related to integration planning, legal and other professional fees as well as various payments triggered by the closing of the deal, such as certain executive and non-executive compensation packages and legal, advisory and other professional fees. This was partially offset by improved working capital primarily due to accounts receivable on lower net sales and inventory levels due to prior year restocking and lower net sales.

 

The Company paid approximately $797.6 million, net of approximately $75.8 million of cash acquired, to close the Combination in the third quarter of 2019, which included $170.8 million in cash as well as the Company’s refinancing of $702.6 million of Houghton’s indebtedness at closing. The Company also issued an aggregate of 4.3 million shares of its common stock to the selling shareholders of Houghton, comprising approximately 24.5% of the common stock of the Company as of September 30, 2019.

 

Concurrent with closing of the Combination on August 1, 2019, the Company replaced its previous revolving credit facility with a new syndicated and secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) and borrowed $750.0 million in term loans and $180.0 million from the multicurrency revolver available in the New Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility of $857.2 million. In addition, the Company paid $23.7 million in financing-related fees during the third quarter of 2019 in connection with the New Credit Facility, which the Company has capitalized on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. Also, the Company’s total net indebtedness as of September 30, 2019 was $749.8 million, excluding financing related fees recorded as a reduction of long-term debt, which represents a total net indebtedness to trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 3.3 to 1 as of September 30, 2019.

 

The Company has paid $15.0 million of cash dividends to its shareholders during the first nine months of 2019, a 4% increase compared to the prior year.

 

Subsequent Event

 

As previously announced, subsequent to the date of the unaudited financial statements included herein, on October 1, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of the operating divisions of Norman Hay plc, a private U.K. company that provides specialty chemicals, operating equipment and services to various industrial end markets for a purchase price of 80 million GBP, subject to post-closing adjustments. The Company continues to expect the acquired divisions to have pro-forma full year 2019 net sales and adjusted EBITDA of approximately 63 million GBP and approximately 11.3 million GBP, respectively.

 

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Measures

 

The information included in this public release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and pro forma 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 indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not indicative of future operating performance or 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 Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

 

Additionally, the Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net - adjusted, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies - adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the “two-class share method.” The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company updated its calculation methodology to include the use of interest expense net of interest income in the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, compared to its historical use of only interest expense, and also to include the non-service component of the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit costs in the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. Prior year amounts have been recast for comparability purposes and the change in calculation methodology does not produce materially different results. The Company believes these updated calculations better reflect its underlying operating performance and better aligns the Company’s calculations to those commonly used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry.

 

As it relates to the full year expected results for the Company’s acquisition of the operating divisions of Norman Hay plc, described above, as well as the Company’s forward looking guidance for the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company has not provided guidance for GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, certain non-recurring or non-core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, such as Combination and other acquisition-related expenses and restructuring expenses, as well as income taxes. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

(b)Depreciation and amortization for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 incudes $0.1 million of amortization expense recorded within equity in net income of associated companies, attributable to the amortization of the fair value step up for Houghton’s 50% interest in a joint venture in Korea as a result of required purchase accounting.

 

(c)Interest expense, net – adjusted excludes $0.4 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.9 and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, of interest costs the Company incurred to maintain the bank commitment to finance the Combination, prior to executing the New Credit Facility and closing the Combination on August 1, 2019.

 

(d)Taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies – adjusted includes the Company’s tax expense adjusted for the impact of any current and deferred income tax expense (benefit), as applicable, of the reconciling items presented in the reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to adjusted EBITDA, above, determined utilizing the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which these adjustments occurred, subject to deductibility. In addition, this also includes transition tax adjustments of $0.4 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as well as $1.1 million and $2.3 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

(e)The Company’s calculation of GAAP and non-GAAP (loss) earnings per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was impacted by the 4.3 million share issuance in connection with closing the Combination, noted above, as well as the variability of its reported earnings, which was primarily due to the Combination and other acquisition-related charges and restructuring expenses incurred. Therefore, the per diluted share result for each of the first three quarters of 2019, as reported on a standalone basis, may not add up to the per diluted share result for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Company has provided certain unaudited pro forma financial information in this press release. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and results of both Quaker, as reported, and Houghton, and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Quaker Houghton’s past results of operations, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Quaker Houghton and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events.  These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, including but not limited to our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or similar expressions.  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 demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related 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, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by steel, automobile, aircraft, appliance, and durable goods manufacturers. Other factors could also adversely affect us, including those related to the Combination and other acquisitions and the integration of the combined company as well as other acquired businesses. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to the Company's business could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.  Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.  For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, you should refer to the Risk Factors detailed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as amended, and in our quarterly and other reports filed from time to time with the SEC.  We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.  This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Exhibit 99.2

Quaker Houghton Third Quarter 2019 Results Investor Conference Call

 

 

On August 1, 2019, Quaker Chemical Corporation (the “Company”, also known as Quaker Houghton) completed its combination with Hou ghton International, Inc. (“Houghton”), herein referred to as “the Combination”. Therefore, two months of Houghton’s operations are included in the Company’s third quarter of 2019 results des cri bed in this presentation. Regulation G The attached charts include Company information that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Man agement believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the Company. These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provide d b y other companies. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual report filed on form 10 - K, as amended by Form 10 - K/A, as well as the third quarter earnings news re lease dated November 12, 2019, which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 8 - K and the Company’s Form 10 - Q for the period ended September 30, 2019, which has been filed with the SEC . Forward - Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amen ded, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have base d t hese forward - looking statements on our current expectations about future events. These forward - looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticip ations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, including but not limited to statements relating to the potential benefits of the Combination described above, our current and future results and plans, and statements that include the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” or similar expressions. Th ese 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 demand for the Compa ny’ s products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers’ products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related to downturns in a customer’s business and unanticipated custome r p roduction 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 c ond itions, foreign currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business c ycl es as those experienced by steel, automobile, aircraft, appliance, and durable goods manufacturers. Our forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and i ts operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to the Compan y’s business could cause its results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those discussed in this presentation could also adversely affect us, including, but no t limited to the following related to the Combination : • potential adverse effects on the Company’s business, properties or operations caused by the implementation of the Combination ; • the Company’s ability to promptly, efficiently and effectively integrate the operations of Houghton and Quaker Chemical; • the ability to develop or modify financial reporting, information systems and other related financial tools to ensure overall fi nancial integrity and adequacy of internal control procedures; • the ability to identify and take advantage of potential synergies, including cost reduction opportunities, while maintaining leg acy business and other related attributes, as well as the risk that the costs to achieve synergies may be more than anticipated; • difficulties in managing a larger, combined company, addressing differences in business culture and retaining key personnel; • risks related to each company’s distraction from ongoing business operations due to the Combination; and, • the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the companies related to the Combination. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward - looking statements. For more information regarding these ri sks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, you should refer to the Risk Factors detailed in Item 1A of our Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as well as the proxy statement the company filed on July 31, 2017 and in our quarterly and other reports filed from time to time with the SEC. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revis e a ny forward - looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.

All Rights Reserved 3 Speakers

 

 

©2019 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 4 Chairman Comments Third Quarter 2019 • Net sales negatively impacted by the compounding conditions of a weak global automotive market, a generally weaker industrial environment in most parts of the world, some customer inventory corrections in their markets and the continued strength of the U.S. dollar • Results positively impacted by gaining market share, achieving targeted gross margin and making good progress with our integration and related cost synergies • These positive contributions, along with the benefits of higher foreign exchange transaction gains, drove pro forma adjusted EBITDA growth of 3% quarter - over - quarter despite a 7% decrease in pro forma net sales Affirm 2019 Outlook and 2021 Expectations • Reaffirm previous guidance for the full year 2019 pro forma Quaker Houghton adjusted EBITDA; given Q3’19 results, the expected adjusted EBITDA range for Q4’19 is $52 million to $59 million • Expectations remain that by August 2021 the Company’s planned cost synergies will be achieved, Quaker Houghton will be a $300+ million adjusted EBITDA company on a going forward basis and the Company will be on track for organic growth of 2 to 4% above the market

 

 

©2019 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 5 Financial Highlights – Actual Results Third quarter of 2019 (inclusive of two months of Houghton’s results) • Net sales of $325.1 million increase 46% compared to prior year primarily due to Houghton • Excluding Houghton, net sales declined 7% due to lower volumes of 4%, negative foreign exchange translation of 2% and a decline in price and product mix of 1% • Gross profit increase of $24.0 million primarily due to Houghton but partially offset by a $10.2 million one - time expense related to Houghton’s inventory sold at its fair value due to purchase accounting • Excluding the purchase accounting adjustment, estimated gross margin of 35.5% decreased compared to 36.5% in the prior year due to lower gross margins in the Houghton business • SG&A increased $27.5 million due to additional Houghton SG&A, partially offset by lower SG&A on the decline in net sales, a benefit from foreign exchange translation and the initial benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination • Below operating income performance driven by higher other income due to a benefit from foreign exchange gains in the current quarter and higher equity earnings from Houghton’s Korean joint venture • Effective tax rates of 27.6% and 18.5% in Q3’19 and Q3’18, respectively, include the impact of certain non - deductible acquisition - related and other non - core costs; ETR without these would have been approximately 20% and 22%, respectively • Net loss of $13.1 million or $0.80 per diluted share compared to prior year net income of $19.7 million or $1.47 per diluted share, primarily due to Combination - related costs

 

 

©2019 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 6 Financial Highlights – Non - GAAP & Pro Forma Third quarter of 2019 Non - GAAP Results (inclusive of two months of Houghton’s results) • Non - GAAP EPS of $1.56 declined from $1.63 in the prior year impacted by the timing of the Combination’s close and related share count increase • Non - GAAP operating income increased to $34.5 million compared to $27.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to additional net sales and operating income from Houghton • Non - GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased to $51.4 million compared to $33.0 million in the prior year, primarily due to additional earnings from Houghton Pro forma Results (inclusive of three months of estimated Quaker Houghton’s results) • Pro forma net sales of approximately $386 million decreased 7% compared to approximately $417 million in the prior year, primarily due to similar negative volume and foreign exchange declines previously discussed in the actual comparisons • Pro forma adjusted EBITDA of approximately $61 million increased 3% compared to approximately $59 million in the prior year, primarily due to improved gross margin, lower SG&A and an increase in foreign exchange transaction gains, partially offset by lower net sales and the negative impact of foreign exchange translation

The information included in the attached charts includes non - GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjust ed EBITDA, non - GAAP operating income, non - GAAP earnings per diluted share and pro forma adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes these non - GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental inf ormation as they enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fis cal periods, as the non - GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Non - GAAP results are presented f or supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortizatio n, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items th at are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company presents non - GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating incom e plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non - GAAP operating margin are calcul ated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non - GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures provide transparent and useful inf ormation and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis. Additionally, the Company presents non - GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures. Non - GAAP earnings pe r diluted share is calculated as non - GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the “two - class share method.” The Company believes that non - GAAP earnings per diluted share provide tran sparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consisten t b asis. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company updated its calculation methodology to include the use of interest expense net of interest income in the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, compared to its historical use of only interest expense, and also to include the non - service component of the Company’s pension and postr etirement benefit costs in the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and non - GAAP earnings per diluted share. Prior year amounts have been recast for comparability purposes and the change in calculation met hod ology does not produce materially different results. The Company believes these updated calculations better reflect its underlying operating performance and better aligns the Company’s calculations t o t hose commonly used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry. As it relates to the Company’s forward looking guidance for the fourth quarter of 2019 and other forward - looking guidance, the C ompany has not provided guidance for GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is un able to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to , certain non - recurring or non - core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, such as Combination and other acquisition - related expenses and restructuring expenses, as well as income taxes. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. In addition, the Company has provided certain unaudited pro forma financial information in the attached charts. The unaudite d p ro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and results of both Quaker, as reported, and Houghton, and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Comb ina tion. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Quaker Houghton’s past results of operations, nor is it indi cat ive of the future operating results of Quaker Houghton and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The following charts should be read in conjunction with the Company’s third quarter earnings news release dated November 12, 201 9, which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 8 - K and the Company’s Form 10 - Q for the period ended September 30, 2019, which has been filed with the SEC .
