Tredegar Reports Third-Quarter 2014 Results

Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG, also the “Company” or “Tredegar”) today reported third-quarter financial results for the period ended September 30, 2014.

Third-Quarter Financial Results Highlights

• Net income from continuing operations was $10.7 million, or 33 cents per share
• Net income from ongoing operations, which excludes special items, was $8.8 million, or 27 cents per share

Further details regarding the special items that reconcile net income from ongoing operations to net income from continuing operations are provided in Note A of the Notes to the Financial Tables in this press release.

Nancy M. Taylor, Tredegar’s president and chief executive officer, said: “As anticipated, Film Products had a difficult third quarter, especially when compared to a strong third quarter in 2013. There were a number of dynamics impacting Films’ performance in the quarter, such as the expected loss of the babycare elastic laminate volumes in North America and lower surface protection volumes due to the previously reported customer inventory corrections. In addition, Film Products’ quarter and year-to-date performance has been impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies and resulting lower volumes, as well as unfavorable pricing pressure, for our flexible packaging films.”

Ms. Taylor added, “I am encouraged by the progress that our new leadership in Brazil is making in turning around our manufacturing issues in our flexible packaging facility in Cabo, Brazil. That team is also ramping up production of our new flexible packaging line there. While we expect that competitive pricing pressures and a less favorable product mix for flexible packaging films will continue to present challenges during 2015, we are on a steady path for higher volumes and improved operational performance.”

Ms. Taylor continued, “Bonnell Aluminum continues to have a strong year, driven by higher volumes in the nonresidential building market and strong demand for our fabricated and finished products. After a sluggish start for the industry, our year-to-date growth rate for nonresidential building and construction has accelerated to approximately 4% and is in line with estimated industry growth. As volumes continue to rebound, we are working to improve throughputs in all of our facilities to meet the increased demand for fabricated and finished products.”

Third-Quarter Results Versus Prior Year Third Quarter

Net sales (sales less freight) in the third quarter of 2014 decreased in comparison to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices. Lower volumes had an unfavorable impact of approximately $15.2 million on net sales, as lost business related to certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America accounted for approximately $10.8 million of the decrease in the current quarter. Net sales in Film Products were also impacted by lower sales volumes for polyethylene overwrap, flexible packaging and surface protection films, partially offset by higher volumes for other personal care materials. As noted in the previous quarter, lower volumes in surface protection films were primarily related to ongoing customer inventory corrections in the third quarter of 2014 compared to record-high volumes in the third quarter of 2013. The estimated change in average selling prices had a favorable impact of approximately $1.3 million. Higher average selling prices due to the favorable impact of the contractual pass-through of certain costs, primarily an increase in average resin prices, were partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in flexible packaging films. The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had an insignificant impact in the current quarter.

Operating profit from ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2014 decreased by $6.4 million in comparison to the third quarter of 2013. Lower sales volumes and a less favorable product mix had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $5.9 million, which includes approximately $2.5 million related to the loss of volumes for certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America. Lower volumes in surface protection and flexible packaging films were also a factor in the decrease in operating profit from ongoing operations. Higher manufacturing expenses, primarily in flexible packaging films, further reduced operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $2.1 million. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced research and development project costs in Film Products had a favorable impact of $0.5 million on operating profit from ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013.

The change in the dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. The estimated impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs was approximately a negative $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 and a negative $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Year-To-Date Results Versus Prior Year-To-Date

Net sales in the first nine months of 2014 decreased in comparison to the same period in the prior year as lower volumes were partially offset by an increase in average selling prices and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Lower volumes had an unfavorable impact of approximately $34.4 million on net sales, as lost business related to certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America accounted for approximately $23.3 million of this change. Net sales in Film Products were also impacted by reduced sales volumes for polyethylene overwrap, flexible packaging and surface protection films, partially offset by higher volumes for other personal care materials. Lower volumes in surface protection films were primarily related to customer inventory corrections in the current year and a minor loss of market share in lower-tier film due to competitive pricing. The estimated change in average selling prices had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $2.0 million. Higher average selling prices due to the favorable impact of the contractual pass-through of certain costs, primarily an increase in average resin prices, were partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in flexible packaging films and personal care materials. The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on current year net sales of approximately $0.9 million.

Operating profit from ongoing operations in the first nine months of 2014 decreased by $10.5 million in comparison to the first nine months of 2013. Lower sales volumes and a less favorable product mix had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $12.0 million, which include approximately $5.9 million related to the loss of volumes for certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America. Lower volumes in surface protection and flexible packaging films were also a factor in the decrease in operating profit from ongoing operations. Competitive pricing pressures, primarily in flexible packaging films, had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $2.2 million in the current year. Higher manufacturing expenses in flexible packaging films, partially offset by improved operational performance in personal care materials and surface protection films, decreased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $1.5 million. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced research and development project costs within Film Products had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $0.7 million.

The change in the dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. The estimated impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs was approximately negative $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 and negative $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2013.

Capital expenditures in Film Products were $27.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $47.2 million in the first nine months of 2013. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 include approximately $16 million and $30 million, respectively, for a previously announced project that will expand capacity at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. The additional capacity from this project became available for commercial production at the end of the third quarter of 2014, and production volumes will begin to ramp-up in the fourth quarter of 2014. Film Products currently estimates that total capital expenditures in 2014 will be approximately $40 million, including approximately $15 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $20.3 million in the first nine months of 2014 and $23.0 million in the first nine months of 2013. Depreciation expense is projected to be approximately $28 million in 2014, which includes approximately $1 million of additional depreciation expenses associated with the new flexible packaging production line in Brazil in the fourth quarter of 2014. Amortization expense was $2.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 and $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $4 million in 2014.

Aluminum Extrusions

A summary of third-quarter results from ongoing operations for Aluminum Extrusions, which is also referred to as Bonnell Aluminum, is provided below:

		Three Months Ended								Favorable/			Nine Months Ended								Favorable/
(In Thousands, Except Percentages)		September 30,								(Unfavorable)			September 30,								(Unfavorable)
		2014				2013				% Change			2014				2013				% Change

Third-Quarter Results Versus Prior Year Third Quarter

Net sales in the third quarter of 2014 increased in comparison to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average selling prices. Higher sales volumes had a favorable impact of approximately $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in average selling prices, which had a positive impact on net sales of approximately $6.5 million, can be attributed to various factors, including inflationary price increases, higher average aluminum costs and favorable changes in product mix due to a higher percentage of painted and anodized finished products as well as an increase in the sales of fabricated components.

Operating profit from ongoing operations increased by $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of an improved product mix and higher sales volumes. A more favorable product mix and higher sales volumes increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $1.9 million. The remaining portion of the current quarter change can be primarily attributed to the impact of favorable pricing from value-added services and manufacturing efficiencies.

Year-To-Date Results Versus Prior Year-To-Date

Net sales in the first nine months of 2014 increased in comparison to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average selling prices. Higher sales volumes had a favorable impact of approximately $10.1 million in the first nine months of 2014. The increase in average selling prices, which had a positive impact on net sales of approximately $7.1 million, can be attributed to inflationary price increases, higher average aluminum costs and favorable changes in product mix due to a higher percentage of painted and anodized finished products as well as an increase in the sales of fabricated components.

Operating profit from ongoing operations increased by $6.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily as a result of an improved product mix, higher volumes, the favorable impact of manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. Higher sales volumes and improved product mix had a favorable impact of approximately $2.7 million in comparison to the prior year. Despite unanticipated utility, distribution and manufacturing costs as a result of adverse weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014, improved margins from manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $1.8 million. In addition, operating profit from ongoing operations in the prior year includes one-time, construction-related expense of approximately $0.5 million associated with the automotive press project at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia. The remaining portion of the change in operating profit from ongoing operations for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 is primarily related to favorable pricing from value-added services.

Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum were $5.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2013. Capital expenditures are projected to total approximately $8 million in 2014, which includes approximately $5 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $6.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $8.5 million in 2014. Amortization expense was $1.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 and $1.4 million in the first nine months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $1.6 million in 2014.

Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes

Pension expense was $5.2 million in the first nine months of 2014, a favorable change of $5.1 million from the first nine months of 2013. Most of the impact on earnings from lower pension expense is reflected in “Corporate expenses, net” in the Net Sales and Operating Profit by Segment table. Pension expense is projected to be $6.7 million in 2014. Corporate expenses, net decreased in 2014 versus 2013 primarily due to the reduction in pension expense noted above, lower stock-based employee benefit costs and a reduction in performance incentive accruals, partially offset by the timing of certain non-recurring corporate expenditures. In 2014, corporate expenses, net included costs of $0.9 million related to responding to a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by certain shareholders.

Interest expense was $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2014 in comparison to $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2013.

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes for income from continuing operations was 34.6% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to 31.5% in the first nine months of 2013. Income taxes from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2014 was relatively consistent with the federal statutory rate as a result of various mitigating factors, while income taxes from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2013 primarily reflect the benefit of foreign tax incentives and the timing of a research and development tax credit, partially offset by the impact of differences in state tax rates. An explanation of significant differences between the estimated effective tax rate for income from continuing operations and the U.S. federal statutory rate for 2014 and 2013 will be provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

(a)		Tredegar’s presentation of net income and earnings per share from ongoing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the after-tax effects of gains or losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments and restructurings, gains or losses from the sale of assets and other items, goodwill impairment charges and operating results and gains or losses on sale for businesses divested that are included in discontinued operations, which have been presented separately and removed from net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share as reported under GAAP. Net income and earnings per share from ongoing operations are used by management to gauge the operating performance of Tredegar’s ongoing operations. They are not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar’s ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations as defined by GAAP. They exclude items that we believe do not relate to Tredegar’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation is shown below:

(c)		On February 12, 2008, Tredegar sold its aluminum extrusions business in Canada for a purchase price of approximately $25 million. All historical results for this business were previously reported in discontinued operations. Accruals for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters were adjusted in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, resulting in income from discontinued operations of $0.9 million ($0.9 million after tax) for each of the periods. Accruals were made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters of $0.5 million ($0.5 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2013 and $14.0 million ($14.0 million after tax) in the first nine months of 2013.
(d)		Comprehensive income (loss), defined as net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), was a loss of $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 and income of $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 and income of $18.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 and income of $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2013. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments and prior service costs and net gains or losses from pension and other post-retirement benefit plans arising during the period and the related amortization of these prior service costs and net gains or losses recorded net of deferred taxes directly in shareholders’ equity.
(e)		The unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s investment in kaleo, Inc. (“kaléo”), formerly known as Intelliject, Inc., was a gain of $4.0 million and $2.9 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2014, respectively, and a loss of $3.1 million and a gain of $0.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. The unrealized gain in 2014 can be primarily related to favorable adjustments for the passage of time as cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones are discounted at 45% for their high degree of risk. The unrealized loss in the third quarter of 2013 was primarily related to adjustments in the fair value due to a reassessment of the amount and timing of the projected receipt of royalty and milestone payments from commercial sales of kaléo’s licensed product, which launched in early 2013, and increased development and commercialization expenses related to its pipeline products, primarily offset by the impact of the passage of time as anticipated cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones are discounted at 55% for their high degree of risk. The net unrealized gain in the first nine months of 2013 was primarily related to adjustments in the fair value for the passage of time as anticipated cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones were discounted at 55% for their high degree of risk, offset by adjustments in the fair value due to a reassessment of the amount and timing of projected receipt of royalty and milestone payments from commercial sales of kaléo’s licensed product and increased development and commercialization expenses related to its pipeline products.
(f)		A pretax gain of $1.2 million (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statement of income) was realized on the sale of a portion of its investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, Virginia in the second quarter of 2014. An unrealized loss on the Company’s investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, Virginia (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statement of income) of $1.0 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2013 as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value that was not expected to be temporary.
(g)		Pretax charges of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and $0.2 million in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 related to unrealized losses for the Company’s investment in the Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. were recorded as a result of a reduction in the value of the Company’s investment that is not expected to be temporary. The impairment charge is included in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of income and in “Corporate expenses, net” in the statement of net sales and operating profit by segment.
(h)		Net debt is calculated as follows:

(in millions)		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
Debt		$	138.8			$	139.0
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		51.9				52.6
Net debt		$	86.9			$	86.4

Net debt is not intended to represent total debt as defined by GAAP. Net debt is utilized by management in evaluating the Company’s financial leverage and equity valuation, and management believes that investors also may find net debt to be helpful for the same purposes.
