Commenting on the first quarter results, Mr. Alain Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "Our first quarter results, while expected given the rising cost of waste paper and the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, are not acceptable. As we have demonstrated in recent years, we can and will adjust quickly. Recently, we have taken significant steps to improve our financial position through the disposition of non core or underperforming assets and cost cutting programs throughout the Company. These initiatives will be stepped up as we continue in our efforts to equip Cascades to meet these challenges."
Results analysis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------- (compared to the previous year, reflecting the adoption of IFRS and ------------------------------------------------------------------- discontinued operations) ------------------------
In comparison with the same period last year, sales rose by 2% to $774 million as of result of higher selling prices partly offset by the 6% appreciation of the Canadian dollar and the impact of the divestiture of one our containerboard mills.
The operating income, excluding specific items, amounted to $1 million compared to $19 million in Q1 2010. Improved selling prices were unfortunately offset by the rise of all main variable costs, namely recycled fibre, pulp, energy, chemical products and freight, and again, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar. On a segmented basis, although all groups benefited from better prices and healthy operating rates, each sector posted weaker profitability due the rapid and sizeable run-up in variable costs. When including specific items, the operating loss amounted to $6 million in comparison to an operating income of $19 million in the same period of last year.
In the first quarter of 2011, these specific items impacted our operating income and/or net earnings (before tax):
- $3 million in closure and restructuring costs (impact on operating income and net earnings); - a $2 million unrealized loss on financial instruments (impact on operating income and net earnings); - a $1 million impairment loss (impact on operating income and net earnings); - a $1 million loss on disposal and others (impact on operating income and net earnings); - a $5 million foreign exchange loss on long-term debt and financial instruments (impact on net earnings); - a $1 million gain included in discontinued operations (impact on net earnings).
For further details, see the two following tables on IFRS and non-IFRS measures reconciliation.
Net earnings excluding specific items amounted to $1 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to net earnings of $4 million ($0.04 per share) for the same period of last year. Including specific items, the net loss amounted to $8 million ($0.08 per share) compared to net earnings of $1 million ($0.01 per share) for the same quarter in 2010. Financing and depreciation expenses were slightly lower while the recovery of income taxes and the share of results of associates and joint ventures were higher than in 2010.
As a result of lower profitability and the normal seasonal build-up in working capital, net debt increased to $1,445 million. This however does not take into account the impact of the divestiture of Dopaco, which occurred on May 2, 2011, for a net proceed of US$337 million.
Results analysis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------- (compared to the previous quarter, reflecting the adoption of IFRS and ---------------------------------------------------------------------- discontinued operations) ------------------------
In comparison to the previous quarter, sales decreased mostly due the appreciation of the Canadian dollar and the impact of the divestiture of one our containerboard mills. Operating income and net earnings mainly declined as a result of the rise of input costs and the Canadian dollar. In the previous quarter, our operating income was also positively impacted by a $2 million change to the post-retirement benefits at one of our units and a $4 million positive property tax credit adjustment from prior years.
Near-term outlook -----------------
Mr. Alain Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer added: "Looking ahead to the second quarter, demand should continue and even slightly improve along with seasonality. In addition, selling price hikes are being implemented or announced for the months ahead in our boxboard, specialty products and tissue paper segments. Elevated input costs and the strong Canadian dollar should however continue to put pressure on our profitability.
With regards to the second half of the year, we anticipate an upturn in results in large measure due to restructuring initiatives, improved operating rates and efficiency, as well as price increases throughout most of our sectors."
Moreover, as recently disclosed, our ownership in Reno De Medici S.p.A. ("RDM") now stands at 41%. In addition to our stake, we also have a call option over RDM shares by virtue of which we are entitled to acquire up to a maximum 9.07% of its current corporate capital. Considering these facts, starting in the second quarter of 2011, our consolidated figures will include those of RDM at 100% and net results will be reported net of non-controlling interests.
Dividend on common shares and normal course issuer bid ------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Cascades declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share to be paid June 9, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 26, 2011. This dividend paid by Cascades is an "eligible dividend" as per the Income Tax Act (Bill C-28, Canada). In the first quarter of 2011, Cascades purchased for cancellation 173,863 shares at an average price of $7.20 representing an aggregate amount of approximately $1.3 million.
Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ----------------------------------------------------------------
All financial information, including comparative figures pertaining to Cascades' 2010 results, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) contained within Part 1 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook. In previous periods, the Company prepared its Consolidated financial statements and interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in effect prior to January 1, 2011 (previous GAAP). Comparative figures presented pertaining to Cascades' 2010 results have been restated to be in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of certain comparative figures from previous GAAP to IFRS is provided in the table below and the First Quarter results investor presentation. For further details, please refer to the investor presentation on the impact of adoption of IFRS and the 2010 annual report. The two presentations are available at www.cascades.com/investors.
The table below provides the reconciliation of the 2010 sales, the operating income and the operating income before depreciation and amortization, excluding specific items, reported under the previous GAAP and the IFRS:
----------------------------------------------------- Operating income before depreciation and amortization Operating income, (EBITDA), excluding excluding Sales (1) spécific items specific items (in millions of ----------------------------------------------------- Canadian dollars) Q1/2010 Q4/2010 Q1/2010 Q4/2010 Q1/2010 Q4/2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported in 2010 (previous Can GAAP) 942 991 23 45 78 98 Less: IFRS adjustments: Joint ventures (82) (98) (4) (6) (8) (10) Depreciation and amortization - - 5 4 Others - - 2 1 2 - ----------------------------------------------------- Including IFRS adjustment 860 893 26 44 72 88 Less: discontinued operations (101) (110) (7) (10) (13) (16) ----------------------------------------------------- As reported (IFRS) 759 783 19 34 59 72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1 - Sales of discontinued operations and joint ventures are net of intercompany
The following table provides the 2011 sales and operating income before depreciation and amortization, excluding specific items, including those of the discontinued operations and our joint ventures:
-------------------------- Operating income before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding specific Sales (1) items -------------------------- (in millions of Canadian dollars) Q1/2011 Q1/2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As reported (IFRS) 774 37 Add back: Discontinued operations 95 11 Joint ventures 99 9 ---------------------- Including discontinued operations and joint ventures 968 57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note 1 - Sales of discontinued operations and joint ventures are net of intercompany Supplemental information on non-IFRS measures ---------------------------------------------
Operating income before depreciation and amortization, earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization, operating income and cash flow from operations are not measures of performance under IFRS. The Company includes operating income before depreciation and amortization, earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization, operating income and cash flow from operations because they are measures used by management to assess the operating and financial performance of the Company's operating segments. Additionally, the Company believes that these items provide additional measures often used by investors to assess a company's operating performance and its ability to meet debt service requirements. However, operating income before depreciation and amortization, earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization, operating income and cash flow from operations do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for net earnings or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS, and they are not necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. In addition, our definition of operating income before depreciation and amortization, earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization, operating income and cash flow from operations may differ from those of other companies. Cash flow from operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS excluding the change in working capital components.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization excluding specific items, earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization excluding specific items, operating income excluding specific items, net earnings excluding specific items, net earnings per common share excluding specific items and cash flow from operations excluding specific items are non-IFRS measures. The Company believes that it is useful for investors to be aware of specific items that have adversely or positively affected its GAAP measures, and that the above mentioned non-IFRS measures provide investors with a measure of performance with which to compare its results between periods without regard to these specific items. The Company's measures excluding specific items have no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation.
Specific items are defined to include charges for impairment of assets, charges for facility or machine closures, debt restructuring charges, gains or losses on sale of business unit, unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, foreign exchange gains or losses on long-term debt and other significant items of an unusual or non-recurring nature.
Net earnings (loss), which is a performance measure defined by IFRS is reconciled below to operating income (loss), operating income excluding specific items and operating income before depreciation excluding specific items or earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization excluding specific items:
