Koppers Holdings Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Results

2017 Operating Profit of $112.1 Million vs. Prior Year of $86.4 Million

2017 Adjusted EBITDA of $200.4 Million vs. Prior Year of $174.2 Million

Q4 2017 Diluted EPS of $(0.71) vs. Prior Year of $0.30; Reflects $(0.92) Impact of 2017 U.S. Tax Reform

Adjusted Q4 2017 EPS of $0.40 vs. Prior Year of $0.40

2018 Guidance of $210 Million Adjusted EBITDA and $3.90 to $4.10 Adjusted EPS

 

PITTSBURGH, February 27, 2018 – Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP), an integrated global provider of treated wood products, wood treatment chemicals and carbon compounds, today reported a net loss attributable to Koppers for the fourth quarter of $14.8 million, or $0.71 per diluted share compared to net income of $6.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.  The net loss included a tax charge of $20.5 million, or $0.92 per share, related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act).

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $9.0 million and $0.40 per share for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $8.5 million and $0.40 per share in the prior year quarter, respectively.

Adjustments to pre-tax income totaled $18.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, and primarily consisted of restructuring expenses for both periods.

Consolidated sales were $366.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $52.9 million, or 16.9 percent, from sales of $313.2 million in the prior year quarter.  The Carbon Materials and Chemicals (CMC) segment reported higher sales prices and higher volumes for carbon pitch in Australasia and Europe, and higher demand for phthalic anhydride in North America, partially offset by lower carbon black feedstock volumes.  The Performance Chemicals (PC) business continued to benefit from strong sales volumes in North America for copper-based wood preservatives and additives due to favorable market trends in the repair and remodeling markets driven by existing home sales.  The Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS) business experienced ongoing weakness in demand for crossties and railroad bridge services, partially offset by higher volumes for utility products in Australia.

CMC’s performance reflects a significant improvement over the prior year quarter, benefiting from favorable market conditions as well as realizing permanent cost savings from restructuring initiatives.  PC’s profitability benefited from higher sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs related to copper.  The results for RUPS were negatively affected by the continued demand weakness for treated crossties and pricing pressures related to an ongoing inventory oversupply in the market.


Total debt was $677.0 million and, net of cash and cash equivalents, net debt was $616.7 million at December 31, 2017, compared with total debt of $662.4 million and net debt of $641.6 million at December 31, 2016.  The company’s net leverage ratio was 3.1 at December 31, 2017, which reflects a considerable improvement from 3.7 for the period ending December 31, 2016.

Commenting on the quarter, President and CEO Leroy Ball said, “On balance, operating performance remained strong as we finished the year.  While our RUPS business reported disappointing results driven by much lower than expected crosstie demand throughout 2017, the foundation of our overall business remains healthy.  In our CMC business, market tailwinds combined with restructuring benefits generated higher profitability in the fourth quarter of 2017 than in all of 2016.  Additionally, our PC business benefited from favorable market trends as well as our raw material hedging program that minimized the impact of cost increases during the year.  With a net leverage ratio at 3.1 at year-end, we are now in our best position since 2014 to expand Koppers presence as the global leader in wood-treatment technologies.”

 

Fourth-Quarter Financial Performance

 

Sales for RUPS of $109.5 million decreased by $15.5 million, or 12.4 percent, compared to sales of $125.0 million in the prior year quarter.  The sales decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes of untreated and treated crossties and railroad bridge services. The reduction is attributed to lower spending in the rail industry across both the Class I and commercial markets. In addition, commercial pricing has been reduced due to an over-supply of crossties in the railroad market. The unfavorable impact from these factors was partially offset by higher volumes related to utility products in Australia.  Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $4.0 million, or 3.7 percent, compared with operating profit of $5.6 million, or 4.5 percent, in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $1.3 million, or 1.2 percent, compared with $11.9 million, or 9.5 percent, in the prior year quarter.

 

Sales for PC of $93.0 million increased by $3.6 million, or 4.0 percent, compared to sales of $89.4 million in the prior year quarter.  The increase was due primarily to higher North American sales volumes for copper-based wood preservatives and additives. In addition, customer demand was strong due to favorable market trends in the repair and remodeling markets driven by existing home sales.  Operating profit was $14.8 million, or 15.9 percent, for the fourth quarter, compared with $10.9 million, or 12.2 percent, in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA was $18.5 million, or 19.9 percent, for the fourth quarter, compared with $14.7 million, or 16.4 percent, in the prior year quarter.  The improved profitability in the fourth quarter reflects investments made to expand capacity and productivity for certain processes, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

 

Sales for CMC totaling $163.6 million increased by $64.8 million, or 65.6 percent, compared to sales of $98.8 million in the prior year quarter.  The sales increase was primarily driven by a combination of higher pricing and volumes for carbon pitch in Australasia and Europe due to a reduced supply in those regions.  Also, the segment’s results benefited from increased volume and pricing for phthalic anhydride in North America, partially offset by accelerated depreciation and unabsorbed fixed costs.  Operating profit was $3.0 million, or 1.8 percent, in the fourth quarter, compared with $6.2 million, or 6.3 percent, in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA was $23.8 million, or 14.5 percent, in the fourth quarter, compared with $10.9 million, or 11.0 percent, in the prior year quarter.

 

Operating profit was $12.2 million, or 3.3 percent, compared with $18.9 million, or 6.0 percent, in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA was $42.4 million, or 11.6 percent, compared with $37.6 million, or 12.0 percent, in the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher profitability from the PC and CMC businesses, partially offset by lower profitability for the RUPS segment.  Operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated as a percentage of GAAP sales.

 

The current year fourth quarter included a tax expense of $20.5 million, or $0.92 per share, related to the Tax Act.  The tax charge consisted of a one-time transition tax on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries of $13.1 million and a write-down of the company’s net deferred tax assets of $7.4 million due to a rate reduction from 35 percent to 21 percent.

 

Net loss attributable to Koppers in the fourth quarter was $14.8 million compared with net income of $6.4 million in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted net income was $9.0 million, compared with $8.5 million in the prior year quarter.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2017, items excluded from adjusted EBITDA consisted of $6.2 million of pre-tax charges, while adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the quarter excluded $18.1 million of pre-tax charges, both of which related primarily to restructuring expenses.

Diluted EPS was a loss of $0.71, compared with earnings of $0.30 per share in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.40, compared with $0.40 for the prior year period.  The fourth quarter adjusted EPS reflects a catch-up of the full-year allocation of income tax expense related to U.S.-based restructuring charges.

 

Capital expenditures for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017, were $67.5 million compared with $49.9 million for the prior year period.  The current year amount consists of spending on the new naphthalene unit construction at a CMC facility in Stickney, Illinois, and expanding production capacity at PC production facilities in the U.S.

 

2017 Financial Performance

 

Consolidated sales of $1,475.5 million increased by $59.3 million, or 4.2 percent, compared to sales of $1,416.2 million in the prior year.

 

Operating profit was $112.1 million, or 7.6 percent, compared with $86.4 million, or 6.1 percent, in the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA was $200.4 million, or 13.6 percent, compared with $174.2 million, or 12.3 percent, in the prior year.  Operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated as a percentage of GAAP sales.

 

Net income attributable to Koppers was $29.1 million compared with net income of $29.3 million in the prior year.  Adjusted net income was $81.0 million, compared with $54.8 million in the prior year.

 

In 2017, items excluded from adjusted EBITDA consisted of $21.5 million of pre-tax charges, while adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the quarter excluded $52.2 million of pre-tax charges, both of which related primarily to restructuring expenses.

 

Diluted EPS was $1.32, compared with $1.39 per share in the prior year.  Adjusted EPS for the year was $3.68, compared with $2.60 for the prior year.

 

2018 Outlook

Koppers expects that its 2018 sales will be approximately $1.7 billion, reflecting a generally positive economic environment as well as market share growth.  On an adjusted basis, the company is targeting 2018 adjusted EBITDA of approximately $210 million.  Accordingly, the adjusted EPS for 2018 is targeted to be in the range of $3.90 and $4.10.

Commenting on the forecast, Mr. Ball said, “In 2018, we expect to achieve record profitability driven by a stronger overall pricing environment, particularly in China, and an improved demand outlook for our water-borne and carbon-based products, even with headwinds from higher raw material costs.  In addition, we still expect to see improvement in our treating business serving the North American rail industry in 2018, albeit likely in the fourth quarter instead of mid-year as we had previously anticipated.  There may be further upside to our projections if market conditions in China continue to be favorable through the balance of the year.”

Mr. Ball continued, “In anticipation that the past year’s progress in reducing our balance sheet leverage will be ongoing, we continue to actively seek growth opportunities to strengthen our global leadership position in wood treatment technologies.  At the same time, we expect to invest $55 million to $65 million in capital expenditures to complete certain capacity expansion projects as well as improve the safety and reliability of our existing infrastructure.”

For the company’s guidance, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS excludes restructuring, impairment, non-cash LIFO charges, and non-cash mark-to-market commodity hedging.  The forecasted amounts for these items cannot be reasonably estimated due to their nature, but may be significant.  For that reason, the company is unable to provide GAAP earnings estimates at this time; however, definitions and reconciliations for historical non-GAAP measures presented herein are provided per footnote 1 below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Koppers believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, net debt and net leverage ratio provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends, and facilitates comparisons between periods and with other corporations in similar industries. The exclusion of certain items permits evaluation and a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that Koppers management internally assesses the company’s performance.  In addition, the Board of Directors and executive management team use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share as performance measures under the company’s annual incentive plans.

Although Koppers believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures and should be read in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measure.  Other companies in a similar industry may define or calculate these measures differently than the company, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.  Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

See the attached tables for the following reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release:  Unaudited Reconciliation of Operating Profit to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Koppers and Adjusted Net Income; Unaudited Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Earnings Per Share; Unaudited Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio; and Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a Latest Twelve Month Basis.

For the company’s guidance, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EPS excludes restructuring, impairment, non-cash LIFO charges, and non-cash mark-to-market commodity hedging.  The forecasted amounts for these items cannot be reasonably estimated due to their nature, but may be significant.  For that reason, the company is unable to provide GAAP earnings estimates at this time.
