Third Quarter of 2021 Consolidated Results

 

Third quarter of 2021 net sales of $449.1 million increased 22% compared to $367.2 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher sales volumes of approximately 10%, which includes additional net sales from acquisitions of 4%, increases from selling price and product mix of 10% and the positive impact from foreign currency translation of 2%. The increase in organic sales volumes, which excludes the benefits of recent acquisitions, compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the Company’s continued market share gains as well as the continued gradual improvement in end market conditions as it relates to the impacts of COVID-19. The increase in selling price and product mix is primarily the result of the Company’s price increases implemented in 2021 to help offset the unprecedented increases in raw material costs the Company has experienced throughout 2021.

 

The Company had net income in the third quarter of 2021 of $31.1 million or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to third quarter of 2020 net income of $27.3 million or $1.53 per diluted share. Excluding costs associated with the combination with Houghton International, Inc. (the “Combination”) and other non-core or non-recurring items in each period, the Company’s third quarter of 2021 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $1.63 compared to $1.56 in the prior year third quarter. The Company’s current quarter adjusted EBITDA of $66.2 million increased 3% compared to $63.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to the increase in net sales, higher realized cost synergies from the Combination and benefits from foreign exchange gains compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower gross margins in the current quarter driven by higher raw material costs as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The Company’s current quarter gross margin of 32.3% declined sequentially compared to 35.5% in the second quarter of 2021. While the sequential decline and continued gross margin headwinds were previously expected, the magnitude of the challenges from continued raw material cost increases and global supply chain and logistics pressures exceeded the Company’s expectations. Partially helping to offset the lower gross margin, the Company estimates that it realized cost synergies associated with the Combination of approximately $19 million during the third quarter of 2021 compared to approximately $17 million during the third quarter of 2020.

 

 

 

 

Michael F. Barry, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We had record net sales for the third quarter despite being negatively impacted by the automotive semiconductor shortage and continued supply chain challenges. Good end-market demand continues to be the major contributor to our earnings performance as organic sales volumes increased 6% from the third quarter of 2020. We continued to see market share gains in the quarter as our net sales benefited 3% compared to the prior year from new business wins. The major negative trend in the quarter was the continued significant escalation of raw material costs. While we previously anticipated that our gross margins were going to be lower than the second quarter due to higher costs, since then our raw material costs have continued to escalate causing third quarter costs to be much greater than our expectations. This ultimately negatively impacted our sequential gross margins by 3.2% compared to the second quarter as our raw materials costs increased nearly 10% in the third quarter from the second quarter.”

 

Mr. Barry continued, “Looking forward, we expect raw material costs to continue to increase in the fourth quarter but we do expect the magnitude of the increases to be lower. We have and will be implementing more price increases to address these unprecedented increases in raw material costs. Our goal is to put enough price increases in place by the end of the year so we enter 2022 at our targeted product margin levels. From a revenue perspective, in the fourth quarter we expect to see continued good demand for most of our businesses but we do expect a negative impact in China due to power restrictions and its impact on our customers’ production as well as a continued negative impact due to semiconductor shortages on automotive. While we expect some top line headwinds in the fourth quarter, we also expect to have sequential improvement in our product margins and we expect our adjusted EBITDA to be in a similar range to the third quarter. Looking ahead to 2022, we expect another strong year for Quaker Houghton with net sales and earnings growth to be above our normal long-term trends as we expect good growth in our end markets, continued market share gains and higher gross margins as our pricing initiatives catch up from the lag we are experiencing in 2021 due to significant raw material inflation.”

  

Third Quarter of 2021 Segment Results

 

The Company’s third quarter of 2021 operating performance in each of its four reportable operating segments: (i) Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses, reflect similar drivers to that of its consolidated performance.

All four segments had higher net sales compared to the third quarter of 2020. Each of the segments continued to benefit from higher sales volumes, including additional net sales from acquisitions, as well as the positive impact of foreign currency translation and increases in selling price and product mix. Higher organic sales volumes for generally all segments are primarily driven by the Company’s continued market share gains as well as the continued gradual year-over-year improvement in end market conditions as it relates to the impacts of COVID-19. As reported, the Company’s Americas and EMEA segment operating earnings were higher compared to the third quarter of 2020 reflecting the increase in net sales including the benefits of acquisitions; however, all of the Company’s segment’s operating earnings were negatively impacted primarily by the unprecedented raw material cost increases and the impact of disruptions in the global supply chain that continued throughout the third quarter of 2021 and to a lesser extent by higher SG&A, including an increase in direct selling expenses associated with year-over-year inflation increases and increases due to increased net sales as well as lower levels of prior year SG&A as a result of temporary cost saving measures implemented in response to COVID-19.

 

Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights

 

The Company has no material debt maturities until August 1, 2024. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total gross debt was $900.7 million and its cash on hand was $141.4 million. The Company’s net debt was $759.3 million, and its net debt divided by its trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was approximately 2.7 to 1 as of September 30, 2021. The Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined under its bank agreement, was approximately 2.5 to 1 as of September 30, 2021 compared to a maximum permitted leverage of 4.0 to 1. Based on current projections of future liquidity and leverage, the Company does not expect any compliance issues with its bank covenants.

 

The Company had net operating cash flow of $12.1 million during the third quarter of 2021, bringing its year-to-date net operating cash flow to $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to a net operating cash flow of $112.0 million in the first nine months of 2020. The significant decrease in net operating cash flow year-over-year was primarily driven by a significant change in working capital, as the Company’s strong current year net sales and volumes resulted in a large increase in accounts receivable coupled with an increase in inventory as a result of continued rising raw material costs as well as a build in inventory to ensure the Company has appropriate stock to meet its customer demands in anticipation of continuing stress on the Company’s global supply chain.

 

Recent Acquisition Activity

 

During the third quarter of 2021 and early in the fourth quarter, the Company has completed several smaller acquisitions that expand its strategic product offerings and increase the Company’s presence in its core metalworking industries. In total, the Company’s initial purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $13 million, which is subject to post-closing adjustments as well as certain earn-out provisions that could total approximately $4 million in additional consideration pending future performance or growth thresholds.  The Company estimates that these acquisitions in aggregate will add full year net sales of approximately $15 million and approximately $2 million of full year adjusted EBITDA going forward. The Company’s acquisitions that were completed consist of:

 

·Remaining interest in Grindaix, a private German business and former joint venture with Quaker Houghton, which provides solutions that precisely measure and optimize fluid applications for the metalworking industry;

 

·Select assets from 3-S Mühendislik A.S. (“3-S”), a private Turkish company that provides hydraulic fluids, coolants, cleaners, and rust preventative oils within Turkey.  3-S has been a distributor for Quaker Houghton in Turkey since 2003; and

 

·Baron Industries (“Baron”), a privately held company headquartered in Madison Heights, MI, USA, that provides vacuum impregnation services of castings, powder metal and electrical components. Baron expands the Company’s geographic presence as well as broadens its product offerings and service capabilities within its existing impregnation business that was initially entered into as part of its past acquisition of Norman Hay.

 

 

 

 

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

 

The information included in this press release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. 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 (loss) attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income (loss) 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, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies, in each case 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.

 

As it relates to 2021 and 2022 projected adjusted EBITDA growth for the Company, including as a result of our recent acquisitions, as well as other forward-looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable 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 determine 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, as well as the impact of COVID-19. 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.

 

The Company’s reference to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA within this press release refers to the twelve month period ended September 30, 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $278.9 million, which includes (i) the nine months ended September 30, 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $213.4 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below, and (ii) the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $222.0 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations included in the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 results press release dated February 25, 2021, less (iii) the nine months ended September 30, 2020 adjusted EBITDA of approximately $156.5 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below.

(a)The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the Combination during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 all $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was recorded in cost of goods sold (“COGS”), while in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $0.7 million was recorded in COGS and $0.1 million was recorded in Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses. The amounts recorded within COGS are included in the caption Houghton combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the reconciliation of Operating income to Non-GAAP operating income and GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. In addition, the total amounts are included within the caption Depreciation and amortization in the reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA; however, they are excluded in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Non-GAAP net income. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million associated with the sale of certain held-for-sale real property assets which was the result of the Company’s manufacturing footprint integration plans. This gain was recorded within Other income (expense), net and therefore is included in the caption Houghton combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, however it is excluded in the reconciliation of Operating income (loss) to Non-GAAP operating income.

 

(b)Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense recorded within equity in net income of associated companies in the Statement of Operations, which is attributable to the amortization of the fair value step up for the Company’s 50% interest in a Houghton joint venture in Korea as a result of required purchase accounting.

 

(c)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 income (loss) 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. This caption also includes the impact of certain specific tax charges and benefits in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, which the Company does not consider core or indicative of future performance.

The Company’s operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company’s internal organization, the method by which the Company’s resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker assesses the Company’s performance. The Company has four reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses. The three geographic segments are composed of the net sales and operations in each respective region, excluding net sales and operations managed globally by the Global Specialty Businesses segment, which includes the Company’s container, metal finishing, mining, offshore, specialty coatings, specialty grease and Norman Hay businesses. Segment operating earnings for each of the Company’s reportable segments are comprised of the segment’s net sales less directly related COGS and SG&A. Operating expenses not directly attributable to the net sales of each respective segment, such as certain corporate and administrative costs, Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, and Restructuring and related charges, are not included in segment operating earnings. Other items not specifically identified with the Company’s reportable segments include interest expense, net and other income (expense), net.

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, including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain sufficient liquidity and remain in compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facility, statements regarding remediation of our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, expectations about future demand and raw material costs, and statements regarding the impact of increased raw material costs and pricing initiatives, 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 the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints as well as any projected global economic rebound or anticipated positive results due to Company actions taken in response, and 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 slowdowns and shutdowns, including as is currently being experienced by many automotive industry companies as a result of supply chain disruptions. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, including the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer financial instability, worldwide economic and political disruptions, 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 our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business will depend on, among other things, the extent and duration of the pandemic, the severity of the disease and the number of people infected with the virus including as new variants emerge, the continued uncertainty regarding global availability, administration, acceptance and long-term efficacy of vaccines, or other treatments, for COVID-19 or its variants, the longer-term effects on the economy of the pandemic, including the resulting market volatility, and by the measures taken by governmental authorities and other third parties restricting day-to-day life and business operations and the length of time that such measures remain in place, as well as laws and other governmental programs implemented to address the pandemic or assist impacted businesses, such as fiscal stimulus and other legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. Other factors could also adversely affect us, including those related to the Combination and other acquisitions and the integration of 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 our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.  All forward-looking statements included in this press release, including expectations about business conditions during 2021 and future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release, which may change. 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, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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 2021 Results Investor Conference Call

 

 

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 helps investors to evaluat e t he 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 mea sur es provided by other companies. This data should be read in conjunction with the third quarter earnings news release, dated November 4, 2021, which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 8 - K. 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 ha ve based these forward - looking statements, including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints on the Company’s business, results of operati ons, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain sufficient liquidity and remain in compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facility, statements regarding remediati on of our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, expectations of future demand and raw material costs, and statements regarding the impact of increased raw material costs and pr icing initiatives, on our current expectations of 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 the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on o ur business as a result of the COVID - 19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints as well as any projected global economic rebound or anticipated positive results due to Company actions taken in res ponse, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or simil ar 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 tha t 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 an d unanticipated customer production slowdowns and shutdowns, including as is currently being experienced by many automotive industry companies as a result of supply chain disruptions. O the r major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondary impacts of the COVID - 19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, whic h could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, including the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, cust ome r financial instability, worldwide economic and political disruptions, foreign currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts o f v iolence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries. T he ultimate impact of COVID - 19 on our business will depend on, among other things, the extent and duration of the pandemic, the severity of the disease and the number of people infected with the virus in cluding as new variants emerge, the continued uncertainty regarding global availability, administration, acceptance and long - term efficacy of vaccines, or other treatments for COVID - 19 or its variants, t he longer - term effects on the economy of the pandemic, including the resulting market volatility, and by the measures taken by governmental authorities and other third parties restricting day - to - da y life and business operations and the length of time that such measures remain in place, as well as laws and other governmental programs implemented to address the pandemic or assist impacted busin ess es, such as fiscal stimulus and other legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. Other factors could also adversely affect us, including those related to the Combination and oth er acquisitions and the integration of 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 our business could cause our actual re sults to differ materially from expected and historical results. All forward - looking statements included in this presentation, including expectations about business conditions during 2021 and future per iod s, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this presentation, which may change. 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, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Fo rm 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obliga tio n to, update or revise any forward - looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.

©2020 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 5 Chairman Comments Third Quarter of 2021 • Record quarterly net sales despite the continued negative impacts of the automotive semiconductor shortage and supply chain challenges • Demand continues to be the major contributor to earnings performance as organic sales volumes increased 6% from third quarter of 2020 largely due to underlying market growth and continued market share gains • Gross margins were negatively impacted by increases in raw material costs that were higher than previously expected and resulted in a sequential decline in gross margin by 3.2% as our raw material costs increased approximately 10% sequentially Fourth Quarter of 2021 Outlook • End market demand expected to remain good but will be negatively impacted by the power restrictions in China and the continued impact from semiconductor shortages on the automotive industry • Expect to have sequential improvement in our product margins and expect adjusted EBITDA to be in a similar range to the third quarter of 2021 “ Looking ahead to 2022, we expect another strong year for Quaker Houghton with net sales and earnings growth to be above our normal long - term trends as we expect good growth in our end markets, continued market share gains and higher gross margins as our pricing initiatives catch up from the lag we are experiencing in 2021 due to significant raw material inflation.” - Michael F.

All Rights Reserved 6 Financial Highlights Third quarter of 2021 • Record net sales of $449.1 million increased 22% due to higher volumes of 10%, which includes additional net sales from acquisitions of 4%, increases in selling price and product mix of approximately 10% and the positive impact from foreign currency translation of 2% • Gross profit increased $4.9 million or approximately 4% compared to Q3’20 due to an increase in net sales largely offset by d ecl ines in gross margins to 32.3% in Q3’21 compared to 38.2% in Q3’20 • Sequentially, the continued escalation in raw material costs and tight supply chain drove lower gross margins compared to 35. 5% in Q2’21 and lower gross profit despite higher net sales compared to Q2’21 • SG&A increased $7.2 million primarily due to additional SG&A from acquisitions and foreign currency translation, an increase in direct selling expenses on the net sales increase as well as higher labor - related costs compared to Q3’20 as the prior year benefited f rom temporary cost savings measures implemented in response to COVID - 19 • Non - operating items include foreign currency transaction gains during Q3’21 compared to foreign currency transaction losses in Q 3’20 as well as a loss on disposal of assets related to property damage to the Company’s global headquarters caused by Hurricane I da • Effective tax rates of 2.6% and 8.1% in Q3’21 and Q3’20, respectively, include various one - time items; without these items effective tax rates would have been ~25% and ~24% for Q3’21 and Q3’20, respectively • Non - GAAP EPS of $1.63 increased 5% compared to $1.56 in Q3’20 and adjusted EBITDA of $66.2 million increased 3% compared to $63.9 million in Q3’20 • Operating cash flow of $12.1 million compared to Q3’20 of $67.4 million driven by a significant change in working capital as strong net sales and volumes resulted in a large increase in accounts receivable as well as significant increases in inventory due to st ock builds to address the tight supply chain and rising raw material costs

Appendix Actual and Non - GAAP Results

 

 

The information included in this presentation includes non - GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non - GAAP operating income, non - GAAP operating margin, non - GAAP net income, non - GAAP earnings per diluted share, and pro forma net sales, net income (loss) attributable to Qua ker Houghton, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company believes these non - GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader’s unders tanding 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 exclu de items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Non - GAAP results and pro forma information are presented for supplemental informational purposes o nly 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 (loss) attributable to the Company before depreciation and amor tiz ation, interest expense, net, and taxes on income (loss) 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 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 percent age 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 use d 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 measure s. Non - GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies , i n each case 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 e arnings 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 perfo rma nce of the Company on a consistent basis. In addition, the Company has provided certain unaudited pro forma financial information in this presentation. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and results of both Quaker and Houghton and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Combination. The unaudited pro fo rma 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. The Company has not provided pro forma financial information as it relates to the acquire d o perating divisions of Norman Hay plc or for any of its other acquisitions based on materiality. Pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2019 include five months of Houghton’s operations post - closing o f the Combination, while Houghton reflects seven months of results for the period from January 1, 2019 through July 31, 2019. Pro forma results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in clude Quaker’s historical results, while Houghton reflects its stand - alone results. As it relates to 2021 and 2022 projected adjusted EBITDA growth for the Company, including as a result of our recent acquisit ion s, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure bec ause it is unable to determine 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, as well as the impact of COVID - 19. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a ma terial impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. The following charts should be read in conjunction with the Company’s third quarter earnings news release dated November 4, 2 021 , which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8 - K , and once filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company’s 10 - Q for the period ended September 30, 2021.
