A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq:SHLM) today announced its financial
results for the fiscal 2018 first quarter for the period ended
November 30, 2017. The Company reported quarterly net income of
$12.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. On an adjusted
basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $16.2
million, or $0.55 per diluted share. Last year the Company reported
first quarter net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted
share, and on an adjusted basis, the prior year net income of $14.4
million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
In the 2018 first quarter, consolidated net sales were $674.6
million, an increase of 12.4% percent from last year’s
first-quarter sales of $600 million. Operating income was $32.6
million, and on an adjusted basis, was $36.8 million compared with
$19.1 million and $35 million, respectively, for fiscal
2017.
“Our first quarter results show a positive shift in momentum at
A. Schulman as we continue building on our fiscal 2017 reset
actions,” said Joseph M. Gingo, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Despite the challenge of hurricane Harvey, our
underlying revenue growth of approximately 9%, excluding foreign
currency translation, was the strongest in many quarters, and our
volume momentum shifted to growth for the first comparable period
since the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Our cash flow is off to a
strong start, with $25 million of total debt reduction in the first
quarter alone, which is well ahead of the fiscal 2017
pace.”
Gingo continued, “Our businesses in both Asia-Pacific and Latin
America delivered an even more robust performance with accelerated
volume and sales growth from the fourth quarter. Volume,
sales and profit growth in Engineered Composites continues into the
first quarter from the prior year, assisted by improved oil field
services, maintaining our above-market growth in this important
business. Our EMEA segment experienced a shift to volume growth for
the first time since mid-2015, and we are cautiously optimistic
about the health of our key markets in the region. Finally, in
USCAN, we believe our underlying business is on track for gradual
recovery, despite hurricane Harvey’s approximately $1.5 million
impact on the quarter’s operating income. Although our industry
continues to be challenged with raw material inflation, our
aggressive pricing initiatives led to four out of our five
operating segments posting operating profit gains in the
quarter. We believe we are on track to regain desired margins
over time.”
Working Capital/Cash FlowCash provided from
operations was $25.5 million in the first quarter. Working capital
days were 43 at the end of the first quarter compared with 45 days
at the end of fiscal 2017. Cash flow was used to reduce total debt
by $25 million, to a net leverage ratio of 4.04x. Since the
acquisition of Citadel in June 2015, the Company has paid down
approximately $225 million of debt.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 were
$5.4 million. Additionally, the Company declared and paid quarterly
cash dividends to common shareholders of $6.2 million, or $0.205
per common share, and also paid dividends of $1.9 million to
holders of the convertible special stock.
Business OutlookThe Company maintains its
fiscal 2018 outlook, and anticipates adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”)
for the year to be in the range of $220 million to $230 million.
Fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) are
expected to be between $2.00 and $2.20 per diluted share. The
mid-point of the EPS estimate represents a 20% increase on a
year-over-year basis. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP
and Non-GAAP financial measures for the types of items excluded
from the Company's business outlook.
“Fiscal 2017 was a reset year for A. Schulman; however, we
anticipate that 2018 will be a recovery year. We see many
opportunities to leverage the fundamental changes we made
throughout the Company during the last fiscal year. Our overarching
goal is to return A. Schulman once again to the higher, sustained
levels of growth and profitability that our shareholders had grown
to expect from our Company,” commented Gingo.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release
includes certain financial information determined by methods other
than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial
measures include segment gross profit, SG&A expenses excluding
certain items, segment operating income, operating income before
certain items, net income excluding certain items, net income per
diluted share excluding certain items and adjusted EBITDA, as
discussed further in the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP
Financial Measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are
considered relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the
Company’s results and business trends.
The Company uses segment gross profit, SG&A expenses
excluding certain items, segment operating income, operating income
before certain items, net income excluding certain items, net
income per diluted share excluding certain items and adjusted
EBITDA to assess performance and allocate resources because the
Company believes that these measures are useful to investors and
management in understanding current profitability levels that may
serve as a basis for evaluating future performance and facilitating
comparability of results. In addition, operating income before
certain items and segment operating income before certain items are
important to management as all are a component of the Company’s
annual and long-term employee incentive plans. Non-GAAP measures
are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP
measures, and tables included in this release reconcile each
non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures for these purposes are gross profit, SG&A expenses,
operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. The
Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP
financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the
Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful supplemental information to investors,
there are very significant limitations associated with their use.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance
with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors
and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of
the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact
method of calculation. The Company compensates for these
limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as
supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the
reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most
comparable GAAP financial measures.
Cautionary StatementsA number of the matters
discussed in this document that are not historical or current facts
deal with potential future circumstances and developments and may
constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
strictly to historic or current facts and relate to future events
and expectations. Forward-looking statements contain such words as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,”
“believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s
current expectations and include known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, many of which management is unable
to predict or control, that may cause actual results, performance
or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by these forward-looking statements, and that could
adversely affect the Company’s future financial performance,
include, but are not limited to, the following:
- worldwide and regional economic, business and political
conditions, including continuing economic uncertainties in some or
all of the Company’s major product markets or countries where the
Company has operations;
- the effectiveness of the Company’s efforts to improve operating
margins through sales growth, price increases, productivity gains,
and improved purchasing techniques;
- competitive factors, including intense price competition;
- fluctuations in the value of currencies in areas where the
Company operates;
- volatility of prices and availability of the supply of energy
and raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of the
Company’s products, particularly plastic resins derived from oil
and natural gas;
- changes in customer demand and requirements;
- effectiveness of the Company to achieve the level of cost
savings, productivity improvements, growth and other benefits
anticipated from acquisitions and the integration thereof, joint
ventures and restructuring initiatives;
- escalation in the cost of providing employee health care;
- uncertainties and unanticipated developments regarding
contingencies, such as pending and future litigation and other
claims, including developments that would require increases in our
costs and/or reserves for such contingencies;
- the performance of the global automotive market as well as
other markets served;
- further adverse changes in economic or industry conditions,
including global supply and demand conditions and prices for
products;
- operating problems with our information systems as a result of
system security failures such as viruses, cyber-attacks or
other causes;
- our current debt position could adversely affect our financial
health and prevent us from fulfilling our financial obligations;
and
- failure of counterparties to perform under the terms and
conditions of contractual arrangements, including suppliers,
customers, buyers and sellers of a business and other third parties
with which the Company contracts.
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only
risks the Company faces. Additional risk factors that could affect
the Company’s performance are set forth in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. In
addition, risks and uncertainties not presently known to the
Company or that it believes to be immaterial also may adversely
affect the Company. Should any known or unknown risks or
uncertainties develop into actual events, or underlying assumptions
prove inaccurate, these developments could have material adverse
effects on the Company’s business, financial condition and results
of operations.
