KMG Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

December 10, 2015

KMG Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE: KMG), a global provider of specialty chemicals, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2016 first quarter ended October 31, 2015.

2016 First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was a record $11.4 million, compared to $8.8 million in last year’s first quarter.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share2 was a record $0.42, up from $0.24 per share in the prior year’s first quarter.
  • GAAP EPS was $0.39 versus $0.10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Chris Fraser, KMG chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Building on the progress we achieved in fiscal 2015, KMG reported strong first quarter results. Adjusted EBITDA rose 30% to a record $11.4 million, marking our seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis, and adjusted EPS grew 75% compared to the prior year.”

Mr. Fraser continued, “Excluding the effect of foreign currency, our Electronic Chemicals sales increased 4% from the year-ago period, benefiting from our global distribution capabilities and our focus on supplying the highest purity products for our semiconductor customers’ most advanced manufacturing processes. Higher shipment volume and improved efficiencies resulting from the consolidation of our global operations continued to positively impact our profitability. Our penta business performed solidly in the first quarter, driven by increased volume from utility pole replacement programs in the western U.S. and enhanced margins from favorable raw materials costs. Our industrial lubricants business continues to contribute to our sales and earnings.”

For the first fiscal quarter, the Electronic Chemicals segment reported:

  • Sales of $66.1 million, essentially flat from the same period a year ago despite the impact from the strong U.S. dollar, which reduced sales by $3.0 million as compared to the prior year. Product volume grew in North America and Asia, partially offset by softness in Europe.
  • GAAP operating income of $7.3 million vs. $4.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. Operating income improved due to volume growth, as well as operating efficiencies from the restructuring and realignment of our electronic chemicals business.
  • EBITDA3 of $10.3 million, compared to $7.4 million last year. Foreign currency translation reduced first quarter fiscal 2016 EBITDA by $277,000.

Other Chemicals

As of May 1, 2015, the Other Chemicals segment includes the pentachlorophenol (“penta”) business and the industrial lubricants business.

Net Sales $ 10,568 $ 24,427
Operating Income 3,764 2,585
Operating Margin 35.6 % 10.6 %
 

For the first fiscal quarter, the Other Chemicals segment reported:

  • Sales of $10.6 million compared to $24.4 million in the same period a year ago. Sales declined due to the divestiture of the creosote product line in fiscal 2015, partially offset by higher penta sales and the addition of the industrial lubricants business.
  • GAAP operating income of $3.8 million, or 35.6% of sales, versus $2.6 million, or 10.6% of sales, last year. The increase in operating income was due to higher penta shipment volume and the contribution from the industrial lubricants business. Operating margins improved due to higher penta volume, lower raw materials costs, the contribution from the industrial lubricants business and the absence of lower-margin creosote sales.
  • EBITDA4 of $4.0 million, up from $2.7 million last year.

Outlook

Our fiscal 2016 year is off to a strong start. We will review and update our annual financial outlook at our customary time when we report our second quarter results.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures

KMG provides non-GAAP financial information to complement reported GAAP results. KMG believes that analysis of our financial performance would be enhanced by an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring and realignment charges and other nonrecurring items.

KMG intends to continue to provide certain non-GAAP financial information and the appropriate reconciliation to GAAP in its financial results. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of performance.
