Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results
HOUSTON, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. (NYSE: KRA), a leading global producer of styrenic block copolymers, announces financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
2015 SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW
- Compared to the second quarter of 2014, second quarter 2015 GAAP and non-GAAP results were negatively impacted by operating issues at certain production facilities amounting to $7.5 million, and an increase in turnaround costs primarily related to our facility in Berre, France, amounting to $5.7 million, or an aggregate decline in quarter over quarter results of $13.2 million.
- Sales volume was 76.2 kilotons in the second quarter 2015 compared to 78.4 kilotons in the second quarter 2014.
- Gross profit was $47.4 million in the second quarter 2015 compared to $72.1 million in the second quarter 2014.
- Adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) was $53.2 million, or $698 per ton, in the second quarter 2015 compared to $68.0 million, or $867 per ton, in the second quarter 2014. The decline in adjusted gross profit reflects the $7.5 million, or $98 per ton, adverse impact from production issues during the second quarter 2015, and the $5.7 million, or $75 per ton increase in turnaround costs, relative to the second quarter 2014.
- Second quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $25.1 million compared to $38.6 million in the second quarter 2014, a decrease of $13.4 million, of which $13.2 million is related to the aforementioned increase in production issues and turnaround costs.
- Net loss was $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2014.
- Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $11.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2014. The impact of the production issues and higher turnaround costs amounted to a $0.42 decline in diluted earnings per share compared to the second quarter 2014; $0.24 per diluted share associated with the production issues and $0.18 per diluted share associated with the increase in turnaround costs.
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.7 million in the second quarter 2015 compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter 2014.

"Kraton's second quarter 2015 financial results were below our expectations due to the adverse impact of unanticipated operational issues in the quarter, which negatively impacted operating results and limited our ability to fully satisfy sales demand during the period," said Kevin M. Fogarty, Kraton's President and Chief Executive Officer. "As previously disclosed, production issues at our facility in Wesseling, Germany, and a delayed restart following a major turnaround at our facility in Berre, France, constrained production and sales into European paving markets, reducing second quarter 2015 adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA by approximately $5.0 million. Although these operational issues were resolved in late June, we unfortunately encountered a production issue on one of our HSBC lines at our plant in Belpre, Ohio, which further impacted adjusted gross profit and EBITDA by an additional $2.5 million. The aggregate $7.5 million impact of these specific operational issues, in conjunction with $5.7 million of higher costs driven by the Berre turnaround, account for the $13.2 million reduction in second quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA," added Fogarty.
"These operational challenges are now behind us, and as we enter the third quarter 2015, we remain encouraged by business fundamentals in many of the markets we serve," said Fogarty. "Our Cariflex business continued to deliver solid trend-line growth with 26% volume growth in the quarter, compared to the second quarter 2014. Our Specialty Polymers business demonstrated resilience by partially off-setting a volume decline in lubricant additive sales resulting from an inventory adjustment program at a major customer, and, to a lesser extent, the tail effect of the technology conversion in our personal care markets, both events as previously noted. And lastly, in our Performance Products business, sales volumes were relatively flat compared to the second quarter 2014 despite the seven kilotons of lost European production, and the resulting inability to fully serve customer orders in the quarter. Moreover, in contrast to prevailing market sentiment, our second quarter 2015 revenue in China was up nearly 10% compared to the second quarter 2014, driven by higher sales of differentiated product grades into medical and wire & cable applications. And in Europe, excluding the production-limited sales into paving applications and lower sales into lubricant additives, our sales volumes increased compared to the second quarter 2014, with broad-based growth across a range of end use applications," Fogarty added. "Given the impact of the second quarter operational issues, we continue to expect full-year adjusted gross profit per ton to be $900 to $925 per ton. We remain on track to deliver $18.0 million of cost reductions in 2015, and we continue to execute on the strategic initiatives outlined in our investor day in mid-June, including an overall cost-out program expected to yield $70 million in savings in 2018. We look forward to providing you with updates on our progress over the balance of the year."
Q2 2015 VERSUS Q2 2014 RESULTS
Revenue was $255.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $323.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $67.9 million, or 21.0%. Excluding the $26.1 million negative effect from currency movements, revenue declined $41.8 million, or 12.9%, with the decline driven primarily by lower average selling prices reflective of lower average raw material prices, and, to a lesser extent, lower sales volumes. Second quarter 2015 sales volumes were 76.2 kilotons, a decline of 2.2 kilotons compared to the second quarter of 2014, as higher sales volumes in the CariflexTM business were more than offset by lower sales volume in Specialty Polymers. Sales volumes in Performance Products were relatively flat compared to the second quarter 2014, despite losing approximately seven kilotons of production as a result of the previously announced operational issues at our Wesseling and Berre facilities, which limited our ability to fully supply SBS product to our customers in Europe.
With respect to revenue for each of our product groups:
- Cariflex™ revenue was $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $3.9 million, or 13.5%. Excluding a $2.5 million negative effect from currency fluctuations, revenue would have increased $6.4 million, or 22.0%. Cariflex sales volumes increased 26.0% compared to the second quarter 2014, largely driven by higher sales into surgical glove applications.
- Specialty Polymers revenue was $84.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $110.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The $25.9 million, or 23.4%, revenue decline (a decline of $20.2 million, or 18.3%, excluding a $5.7 million negative effect from currency fluctuations) was due to a 12.7% decline in sales volumes and lower average selling prices reflective of lower raw material costs. The decline in sales volume was due to lower sales into lubricant additive applications resulting from inventory reduction measures by a significant customer, and, to a lesser extent, lower sales into personal care applications. Partially offsetting these declines were higher sales into medical and industrial applications.
- Performance Products revenue was $138.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $184.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The $45.8 million, or 24.9%, revenue decline (a decline of $27.9 million, or 15.2%, excluding a $17.9 million negative effect from currency fluctuations) was due to lower average selling prices reflective of lower raw material costs. Sales volumes were flat despite the aforementioned seven kilotons of lost production at the Wesseling and Berre facilities, with higher sales into roofing applications in Europe and North America offset by lower sales into paving applications in Europe.
Gross profit was $47.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $72.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) was $53.2 million, or $698 per ton, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $68.0 million, or $867 per ton, for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decline in adjusted gross profit of $169 per ton reflects the aggregate impact of operating issues of $7.5 million, or $98 per ton, and the impact of the $5.7 million of higher turnaround costs, or $75 per ton. These two items significantly impacted comparability of results in the second quarter, however, given the planned nature of the turnaround costs and the causal factors resulting in the operating issues, these items have not been added back for purposes of determining adjusted gross profit or adjusted gross profit per ton.
Research and development expenses were $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.5%, which includes a $0.5 million positive effect from currency fluctuations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 16.5%. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.3 million reduction in transaction and acquisition related costs and a $1.0 million positive effect from currency fluctuations.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the second quarter 2015 was $25.1 million, or 9.8% of revenue, compared to $38.6 million, or 11.9% of revenue, in the second quarter 2014, representing an $13.4 million, or 34.9%, decline primarily associated with the aforementioned operational issues and incremental turnaround costs aggregating $13.2 million. These two items significantly impacted comparability of results in the second quarter, however, given the planned nature of the turnaround costs and the causal factors resulting in the operating issues, these items have not been added back for purposes of determining adjusted gross profit or adjusted gross profit per ton.
Second quarter 2015 net loss attributable to Kraton was $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter 2014 net income of $11.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to Kraton (non-GAAP) was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2015 compared to adjusted net income attributable to Kraton of $11.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2014, representing a $0.31 per diluted share decline primarily due to the negative impact of the operational issues and higher turnaround costs totaling $13.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share.
CASH FLOW
Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.7 million in the second quarter 2015 compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter 2014. The increase in operating cash flows reflects a decrease in inventories associated with the tail effect of raw material price decreases in the first quarter 2015 and other reductions in working capital primarily associated with the timing of cash receipts and disbursements.
OUTLOOK
Based upon our current market view and our outlook for raw material costs, we continue to believe our full year 2015 results will reflect adjusted gross profit of $900 to $925 per ton. We currently estimate that our results in the third quarter of 2015 will reflect a minimal spread between FIFO and ECRC. Taking supply and demand fundamentals into consideration, we currently expect relative stability in butadiene prices over the next year. We believe the current raw material price environment is positive for our business, as lower average selling prices, in combination with the performance qualities of Kraton's product offering, provide a strong value proposition relative to competing materials. Furthermore, while the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro has created headwinds in terms of the translation effect, from a business standpoint, it is improving the competitive dynamics of our manufacturing plants in Europe relative to Asian producers who are exporting into Europe.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This earnings release includes the use of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Net Income attributable to Kraton (or earnings per share). Tables included in this earnings release reconcile each of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance including period-to-period comparisons and/or that of other companies in our industry. Further, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance, and our incentive compensation plan bases incentive compensation payments on our Adjusted EBITDA performance, along with other factors. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and in some cases can vary substantially from other measures of our performance. You should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results under GAAP in the United States. For EBITDA, these limitations include: EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense on our debt; EBITDA does not reflect the significant depreciation and amortization expense associated with our long-lived assets; EBITDA included herein should not be used for purposes of assessing compliance or non-compliance with financial covenants under our debt agreements. The calculation of EBITDA in the debt agreements includes adjustments, such as extraordinary, non-recurring or one-time charges, proforma cost savings, certain non-cash items, turnaround costs, and other items included in the definition of EBITDA in the debt agreements; and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all the limitations applicable to EBITDA. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA by eliminating from EBITDA the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance, including the spread between FIFO and ECRC (for additional information on the impact of the spread between the FIFO basis of accounting and ECRC, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014), but you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, due to volatility in raw material prices, Adjusted EBITDA may, and often does, vary substantially from EBITDA and other performance measures, including net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP; and Adjusted EBITDA may, and often will, vary significantly from EBITDA calculations under the terms of our debt agreements and should not be used for assessing compliance or non-compliance with financial covenants under our debt agreements. Because of these and other limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. As a measure of our performance, Adjusted Gross Profit is limited because it often will vary substantially from gross profit calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP due to volatility in raw material prices. Finally, we prepare Adjusted Net Income attributable to Kraton by eliminating from net income (loss) the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance, including the spread between FIFO and ECRC. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures and the adjustments made therein should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items, and in the future we may incur expenses or charges similar to the adjustments made in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.
