February 27, 2014
  
CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR) today announced net sales of $184.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, up approximately 7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 net sales of $172.9 million. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $1.07 compared to $0.99 for the fourth quarter of 2012, with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increasing approximately 13% to $0.98 for the fourth quarter of 2013 from $0.87 for the fourth quarter of 2012 and adjusted EBITDA increasing 11% to $21.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 from $18.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. See Non-GAAP Measures section below. Net sales for the full year of 2013 were $729.4 million compared to $708.2 million for 2012. Earnings per diluted share for 2013 were $4.27 compared to earnings per diluted share of $3.63 for 2012, with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increasing approximately 10% to $3.84 in 2013 compared to $3.49 in 2012 and adjusted EBITDA increasing 11% to $89.6 million for 2013 from $80.9 million for 2012. See Non-GAAP Measures section below.
 
Michael F. Barry, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We are pleased to close out 2013 with a strong fourth quarter and report a 7% growth in net sales. We are continuing to more than offset the challenging market conditions, including foreign exchange, and to grow our business profitably through taking market share and leveraging our recent acquisitions. In addition, we experienced gross margin improvement as raw material prices have finally stabilized over the last few quarters.”
 
Mr. Barry continued, "2013 was another very good year for Quaker in terms of revenue, net income, net operating cash flow, and adjusted EBITDA despite a challenging global economy. Also, our shareholder value creation was 45% as we continued with both dividend and share price appreciation. We closed the quarter with a positive net cash/debt position and successfully upsized our bank facility to $300 million earlier this year. Our strong balance sheet position provides us the financial flexibility to pursue our strategic initiatives and acquisitions, which we believe can create significant value for our shareholders.”

Mr. Barry also noted, "Going into 2014, we expect to see modest market growth in all regions of the world which is a change considering that the global markets have been uneven for the past few years. However, we continue to operate in a competitive environment with some challenging economic conditions and also could incur some increases in raw material costs from current levels. On the other hand, I continue to expect market share gains from our strategic initiatives and recent acquisitions which will build upon the anticipated end market growth. On balance, I remain confident in our future and expect 2014 to be another good year for Quaker as we strive to increase revenue and earnings for the fifth consecutive year.”
 
Fourth Quarter of 2013 Summary
 
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $184.3 million increased approximately 7% from net sales of $172.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to an increase in product volumes across all regions.
 
Gross profit increased approximately $6.0 million, or approximately 10%, from the fourth quarter of 2012, which was primarily driven by an improvement in gross margin to 35.4% for the fourth quarter of 2013 from 34.2% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in gross margin reflects the return of the Company’s product margins to more acceptable levels.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $4.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2012, which was primarily driven by higher labor related costs on general year-over-year merit increases, increased selling and other related costs on improved Company performance and a non-income tax contingency charge.
 
The decrease in other income of $1.3 million was primarily the result of lower income in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 from changes in the fair value of certain contingent consideration liabilities that related to past acquisitions.
 
Interest expense was lower in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to decreases in average borrowings and interest rates. Interest income was higher in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to an increase in the level of the Company’s cash on hand.
 
The Company’s effective tax rates for the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2012 were 21.7% and 18.2%, respectively. The primary contributors to the increase in the current quarter’s effective tax rate were lower changes in reserves related to uncertain tax positions and certain one-time discrete items that decreased the fourth quarter of 2012 effective tax rate, partially offset by a change in the mix of income to lower tax jurisdictions in the fourth quarter of 2013.
 
The increase in equity in net income of associated companies from the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to higher earnings related to the Company’s equity interest in a captive insurance company.
 
Year-to-Date Summary
 
Net sales for 2013 of $729.4 million increased approximately 3% from $708.2 million in 2012. The increase in the Company’s net sales from the prior year was primarily due to an increase in product volumes generally across all regions, partially offset by a decrease due to foreign exchange rate translation.
 
Gross profit increased by approximately $22.4 million, or approximately 9%, from 2012, which was primarily driven by an improvement in gross margin to 35.8% in 2013 from 33.7% in 2012. The increase in gross margin reflects the return of the Company’s product margins to more acceptable levels.

SG&A increased approximately $14.3 million from 2012, which was primarily driven by higher labor related costs on general year-over-year merit increases, increased selling and other related costs on improved Company performance and costs added with our recent acquisitions. In addition, non-operating SG&A expenses increased due to certain uncommon costs. For instance, 2013 SG&A includes the non-income tax contingency charge noted above and, also, costs related to streamlining certain operations in the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa and South America segments. Partially offsetting these increases to SG&A were the prior year costs associated with the bankruptcies of certain U.S customers, the prior year costs associated with the Company’s CFO transition and lower translation due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
 
Other income in 2013 was generally consistent with 2012. In 2013, the Company recorded other income from a refund related to past excise taxes paid on certain mineral oil sales, which was offset by higher other income in 2012 from changes in the fair value of certain contingent consideration liabilities related to past acquisitions.
 
The decrease in interest expense from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to lower average borrowings and lower interest rates in 2013. The increase in interest income from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to a higher level of the Company’s cash on hand.
 
The Company’s effective tax rates for 2013 and 2012 were 28.1% and 24.7%, respectively. The primary contributors to the increase in the current year’s effective tax rate were lower changes in reserves related to uncertain tax positions and certain one-time discrete items that decreased the 2012 effective tax rate, partially offset by a change in the mix of income to lower tax jurisdictions during 2013.
 
The increase in equity in net income of associated companies from 2012 was primarily due to higher earnings related to the Company’s equity interest in a captive insurance company during 2013, including a non-cash out-of-period adjustment recorded in 2013. Partially offsetting this increase in equity in net income of associated companies was a charge recorded in 2013 due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte.
 
Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted 2013 net income by approximately $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
 
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items
 
The Company’s net operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $21.8 million, which increased its full year 2013 net operating cash flow to $73.8 million as compared to $62.9 million for 2012. The improvement in the Company’s net operating cash flow during 2013 was primarily driven by increased net income and better working capital management. During 2013, the Company revised its credit facility, expanding the amount available for borrowings under this facility from $175.0 million to $300.0 million, which provides the Company further financial flexibility for potential future initiatives. In addition to the revised facility, the Company’s current liquidity remains strong, as its cash position continued to exceed its debt at December 31, 2013 and its consolidated leverage ratio continued to be less than one times EBITDA.
 
Non-GAAP Measures
 
Included in this public release are non-GAAP 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 financial measures:
