OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A. M. Castle & Co. (NYSE:CAS) (the “Company”
or “Castle”), a global distributor of specialty metal and supply chain solutions, today reported financial results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Highlights:
- Gross material margin improved year-over-year, sequentially and each month of the quarter;
- Excluding closed Houston and Edmonton branches, sales tons per day increased by 5% from the first quarter 2016 and roughly 1%
from the second quarter 2015;
- Operating expenses were $44.3 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to $70.2 million in the second quarter 2015 and
$57.0 million in the first quarter 2016. Excluding restructuring expenses, operating expenses decreased to $42.3 million in the
second quarter 2016, compared to $54.6 million in the second quarter 2015 (a decrease in cash operating expenses of 24.1% on a
per ton basis) and $45.2 million in the first quarter 2016;
- Announced sale of 50% equity ownership in Kreher Steel Company, LLC ("Kreher") to joint venture partner;
- Made early payment of $5.5 million in settlement of the remaining principal balance of Senior Secured Notes due December 15,
2016.
President and CEO Steve Scheinkman commented, "The second quarter marked the completion of our strategic restructuring plan
announced in April of last year. The financial performance recorded in the second quarter demonstrates the emergence of a leaner,
more focused A.M. Castle that built momentum during each month of the quarter. In the period, we realized both year-over-year and
sequential quarter improvement in key financial performance metrics, including tons sold per day and operating expenses, both in
absolute terms and cost per ton. Excluding tons sold by our Houston and Edmonton facilities, which we closed in February 2016 as a
result of our strategic decision to reduce our exposure to the oil and gas market, tons sold per day increased by 5% compared to
the first quarter of this year and roughly 1% compared to second quarter 2015."
Scheinkman continued, "According to leading industry publications, the service center industry experienced an
increase in tons shipped per day from the first quarter of 2016 of less than 1% and a decline in tons shipped per day of
approximately 5% compared to the prior year second quarter. Even without improvement in market demand and replacement cost of the
majority of our products, we achieved sequential and year-over-year growth in sales tons and gross material margins as a result of
the aggressive organizational actions we have taken over the last year to restructure our branch network costs, better align our
sales force with customers' needs, increase our transactional business, and improve our capital structure. We believe these results
bode well for our ability to further improve our financial performance as market demand and pricing improves."
Second Quarter 2016 Results
Net sales in the second quarter 2016 were $130.7 million, a decrease of $35.6 million, or 21.4%, compared to the
second quarter 2015. The decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to a 6.4% decrease in tons sold per day compared to the same
period last year, coupled with a 13.9% decrease in average selling prices. Impacting the decrease in net tons sold per day were
sales attributable to the Company's Houston and Edmonton operations, which were closed in February 2016. Excluding the tons sold
from the Houston and Edmonton operations in the second quarter 2015, tons sold per day increased roughly 1% in the second quarter
2016 compared to the second quarter 2015.
Loss from continuing operations in the second quarter 2016 was $21.3 million, or a loss from continuing
operations of $0.77 per diluted common share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $47.1 million, or a loss from
continuing operations of $2.00 per diluted common share, in the second quarter 2015 and $44.8 million, or a loss from continuing
operations of $1.90 per diluted common share, in the first quarter 2016. Adjusted non-GAAP loss from continuing operations for
the second quarter 2016 was $17.7 million compared to adjusted non-GAAP loss from continuing operations of $11.5 million in the
second quarter 2015. Adjusted non-GAAP loss from continuing operations was $26.1 million in the first quarter 2016. Negative
EBITDA from continuing operations in the second quarter 2016 was $6.9 million, compared to negative EBITDA from continuing
operations of $45.7 million in the second quarter 2015 and $30.4 million in the first quarter 2016. The Company had negative
adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $3.4 million in the second quarter 2016 compared with negative adjusted EBITDA from
continuing operations of $10.1 million in the second quarter 2015 and $11.6 million in the first quarter 2016.
Total restructuring activity recorded during the second quarter 2016 resulted in expense of $2.0 million
compared to expense from restructuring activity of $15.6 million in the prior year period. Restructuring activity in the second
quarter 2016 consisted mainly of moving costs associated with plant consolidations related to the April 2015 strategic
restructuring plan and lease termination costs associated with the closure of the Houston and Edmonton facilities.
Gross material margin, calculated as net sales less cost of materials (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization) divided by net sales, was 25.3% in the second quarter 2016 compared to 8.5% in the second quarter 2015. The gross
material margin in the second quarter 2015 was negatively impacted by $22.3 million of inventory scrapping expenses associated with
restructuring activity in that quarter. Excluding those expenses recognized in cost of material, adjusted gross material margin in
the second quarter 2015 was 21.9%. Gross material margin in the first quarter 2016 was 18.4% and adjusted gross material
margin, which excludes the $27.1 million sale of inventory at the Company's Houston and Edmonton facilities and a $0.5 million
charge to cost of material for inventory scrapped related to restructuring activities, was 22.3%.
Along with the lower cost structure implemented by the Company through its April 2015 strategic restructuring
plan, the closure of its Houston and Edmonton facilities had a favorable impact on operating expenses in the second quarter 2016.
Operating expenses were $44.3 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to $70.2 million in the second quarter 2015 and $57.0
million in the first quarter 2016. Excluding restructuring expenses, operating expenses were $42.3 million in the second quarter
2016, compared to $54.6 million in the second quarter 2015 and $45.2 million in the first quarter 2016.
Executive Vice President and CFO, Pat Anderson, commented, "The lower cost structure we envisioned when
announcing our strategic restructuring activities in April of last year has now largely been achieved as evidenced by the
substantial decrease in year-over-year operating expenses, as well as improved gross material margin. We believe this, along with
our improved capital structure resulting from our refinancing efforts, has positioned us well for profitable growth in the coming
years."
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $19.2 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2016, compared to $19.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net cash from investing activities of $54.5
million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 is attributable to cash proceeds from the sale of Total Plastics Inc. ("TPI") in
the first quarter 2016. The proceeds from the sale of TPI were used to pay down the Company's long-term debt, which, along with the
$8.7 million payment of debt restructuring costs, resulted in net cash used in financing activities of $29.2 million during the
first six months of 2016. The Company had $46.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility at
June 30, 2016, and $14.0 million of additional unrestricted borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility.
The Company had $66.1 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2015. The Company’s net
debt-to-capital ratio was 94.6% at June 30, 2016, compared to 84.1% at December 31, 2015. Total long-term debt
outstanding, net of unamortized discount, unamortized debt issuance costs and the derivative liability for the embedded conversion
feature of the Company's convertible notes, was $280.4 million at June 30, 2016 and $317.6 million at December 31, 2015.
Refer to the "Total Long-Term Debt" table below for details related to the Company’s outstanding debt obligations.
On August 8, 2016, the Company announced it has entered into an agreement for the sale of its 50% equity
interest in Kreher to its joint venture partner for proceeds of approximately $31.6 million, subject to formal corporate approval
by both joint venture partners' boards of directors. "We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of Kreher to further pay down our
long-term debt. We also recently made an early payment of $5.5 million to settle the remaining principal balance of our 12.75%
Senior Secured Notes due December 15, 2016," said Anderson.
Scheinkman concluded, “While we are pleased with the improvement in our financial performance in the quarter, we
know we still have more work to do and we continue to aggressively pursue opportunities for further improvement. Although the third
quarter is historically one of our slower periods due to normal seasonality in the summer months, we enter the second half of the
year more confident that the positive financial trends we saw in the second quarter will position us well to expand our customer
base and grow our business over the long term."
