CCMP CMC Materials Inc

Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (Nasdaq: CCMP), a leading global supplier of consumable materials to semiconductor manufacturers and pipeline companies, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2019, which ended September 30, 2019.

Key Highlights

The company delivered record revenue of $278.6 million in the fourth fiscal quarter, essentially flat compared with the pro forma revenue in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year revenue growth in CMP pads, electronic chemicals and pipeline performance products offset lower CMP slurries revenue due to semiconductor industry softness.  Adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $85.3 million, or 30.6% of revenue, in the quarter. Full year revenue was a record $1,037.7 million, $447.6 million, or 75.8% higher than last year primarily due to the company’s acquisition of KMG Chemicals, Inc. (“KMG”), and growth of its CMP pads business. The company generated $177.1 million in cash flow from operations during the year, and had $188.5 million of cash on hand and $941.8 million in total debt as of September 30, 2019. The company has made a decision to focus its future capital investments on high-growth businesses complementary to its core, and to cease future investments in the KMG-Bernuth wood treatment business; thus, it recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $67.4 million2, or $50.3 million after-tax.

“We are proud of another year of record results for our company,” said David Li, President and CEO of Cabot Microelectronics Corporation. “We completed the largest acquisition in our history, which broadened our product portfolio and geographic reach, and nearly doubled our size. With some signs of stabilization in the semiconductor industry and continued robust demand for our pipeline performance products, we look forward to another year of strong performance in fiscal 2020, and remain optimistic about the bright future for our company with continued growth expectations for our revenue and profitability.”   

1  Adjusted pro forma results, including adjusted pro forma gross margin, adjusted pro forma net income, adjusted pro forma EBITDA and adjusted pro forma diluted EPS, are considered as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  These adjusted pro forma results are presented as if the company’s acquisition of KMG Chemicals, Inc. (“KMG”) had been consummated on October 1, 2017, and exclude the impact of non-recurring acquisition and integration related costs, acquisition-related amortization expenses, the effect of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 in the United States (“tax act”) and the newly issued final regulations related to the tax act, the effect of asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the company’s wood treatment business (recorded in fourth quarter of fiscal 2019), and certain costs related to a warehouse fire at KMG-Bernuth in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (recorded in third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2019). See “Use of Certain GAAP and Non-GAAP Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Information” below for more information about these measures.  In addition, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations of selected pro forma financial information to adjusted pro forma financial information are included in the financial statements portion of this press release. 2  Asset impairment charge for the KMG-Bernuth wood treatment business is preliminary and subject to finalization of impairment analysis and control procedures.

Key Financial Information for Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2019

• Revenue was $278.6 million, which is $121.9 million, or 77.8% higher than the revenue reported in the same quarter last year. Pro forma revenue was essentially flat compared to the same quarter last year as revenue growth in CMP pads, electronic chemicals and pipeline performance products offset lower CMP slurries revenue. Electronic chemicals revenue benefited from growth in advanced logic while CMP pads continued to gain traction with customers. CMP slurries revenue declined due to soft semiconductor industry demand, primarily from memory customers.  
• Net loss for the quarter was $20.2 million, which is $68.5 million lower than in the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related amortization and integration expenses, additional cleanup costs related to a wood treatment business warehouse fire in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and the asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the wood treatment business, adjusted pro forma net income was $49.8 million, which is $1.1 million, or 2.2%, lower than in the prior year.  
• Loss per share was $0.70 this quarter, which is $2.54 lower than in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.  Adjusted pro forma EPS was $1.68, which is $0.05, or 2.9%, lower than in the same quarter last year.  
• Adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $85.3 million, which is $1.4 million, or 1.6%, lower than in the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower gross margin, which was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.  Adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin for the quarter was 30.6%, compared to 31.1% in the same quarter last year.

Electronic Materials – Revenue was $217.5 million, which is $8.0 million, or 3.6%, lower than pro forma revenue in the same quarter last year. CMP pads and electronic chemicals delivered results that were 1.8% and 1.5% higher, respectively, than in the same quarter last year. CMP slurries revenue declined 7.7% from last year’s quarter, primarily due to softer industry conditions and lower demand from memory customers.  The Electronic Materials segment adjusted EBITDA was $74.3 million, or 34.2% of revenue.

Performance Materials – Revenue was $61.2 million for the quarter, which is $7.8 million, or 14.7%, higher than pro forma revenue in the prior year’s quarter.  The increase was driven by higher revenue from pipeline performance products, which was partially offset by a decline in QED revenue. The Performance Materials segment adjusted EBITDA was $28.2 million, or 46.1% of revenue.

Asset Impairment ChargeDuring the quarter, the company made a decision to further focus its future capital investments on high-growth core businesses such as pipeline performance products, CMP slurries and pads and electronic chemicals. As a result, it has decided to cease future investment in the wood treatment business and not construct a new production facility to replace operations in Matamoros, Mexico and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The company is considering various options regarding this business.  This decision has triggered a non-cash impairment charge of $67.4 million, or $50.3 million after tax, that negatively impacted fourth fiscal quarter and full year reported results; this amount is preliminary and subject to finalization of procedures.

Key Financial Information for Full Fiscal Year 2019

• Revenue was $1,037.7 million, which is $447.6 million, or 75.8% higher than the revenue reported in fiscal year 2018. Pro forma revenue of $1099.7 million was $36.1 million, or 3.4%, higher compared to last year. Results benefited from revenue growth in CMP pads and pipeline performance products, but were offset by lower CMP slurries revenue. CMP slurries revenue declined due to soft semiconductor industry demand, primarily from memory and foundry customers.  
• Net income was $39.2 million, which is $70.8 million, or 64.4% lower than in fiscal year 2018. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related amortization and integration expenses, an adjustment related to newly issued final regulations for the tax act, additional cleanup costs related to the wood treatment business warehouse fire in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and the asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the wood treatment business, adjusted pro forma net income was $198.4 million, which is $17.0 million, or 9.4%, higher than in the prior year.
• Diluted EPS was $1.35, which is $2.84, or 67.8% lower than in fiscal year 2018.  Adjusted pro forma EPS was $6.72, which is $0.57, or 9.3%, higher than last year.  
• Adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $345.4 million, which is $34.4 million, or 11.0% higher than in fiscal year 2018, primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses.  Adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin was 31.4%.

Guidance for First Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2020

For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the company currently expects total revenue to be approximately flat compared to the company’s revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Electronic Materials revenue is expected to be approximately flat sequentially and Performance Materials revenue is expected to be approximately flat to up low single digits sequentially.

The company currently expects full fiscal year 2020 adjusted EBITDA to be between $350 million and $380 million. Additional current expectations are provided on slide 10 in the related slide presentation.

USE OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP ADJUSTED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATIONThe company presented the following measures considered as non-GAAP by the SEC: adjusted pro forma EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma diluted earnings per share. These adjusted pro forma results are presented as if the company’s acquisition of KMG Chemicals, Inc. (“KMG”), had been consummated on October 1, 2017 and exclude the impact of non-recurring acquisition and integration related costs, acquisition related amortization expenses, the adjustments related to the effect of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 in the United States (“tax act”) and the newly issued final regulations related to the tax act, the effect of asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the company’s wood treatment business, and certain costs related to a warehouse fire at KMG-Bernuth in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  The non-GAAP adjusted pro forma financial information provided in this press release is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, the company’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  These non-GAAP adjusted pro forma financial measures are provided to enhance the investor's understanding about the company's ongoing operations.  Specifically, the company believes the impact of the adjustments related to the effect of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 in the United States (“tax act”) and the newly issued final regulations related to the tax act, KMG acquisition and integration-related expenses, the effect of asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the company’s wood treatment business, certain costs related to a warehouse fire at KMG-Bernuth in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and acquisition-related amortization expenses are not indicative of its core operating results, and thus presents these certain metrics excluding these effects.  The presentation of non-GAAP adjusted pro forma financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.   Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations of pro forma financial information to adjusted pro forma financial information are included in the financial statements portion of this press release.

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure because the company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact this measure have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.  Accordingly, a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial metric is not available without unreasonable effort.  Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronic Materials and Performance Materials segments is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For these reasons, this measure is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

SUPPLEMENTAL UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the company’s acquisition of KMG (the “Acquisition”), which was consummated on November 15, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), based on the historical results of operations of Cabot Microelectronics and KMG. The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 are based on the historical financial statements of Cabot Microelectronics and KMG after giving effect to the Acquisition, and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income.

The historical Cabot Microelectronics Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were derived from the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this release. The historical KMG Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, as well as the historical KMG Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2018 includes information derived from KMG’s books and records. Prior to the Acquisition, KMG was on a July 31st fiscal year end reporting cycle. These pro forma financials include actual KMG’s pre-acquisition results with the months aligned to Cabot Microelectronics’ fiscal periods, and therefore, they do not align with consolidated financial statements included in KMG’s Quarterly or Annual Reports on Form 10-Q or 10-K.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income are presented as if the Acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 2017, the first business day of our 2018 fiscal year, and combine the historical results of Cabot Microelectronics and KMG, which is consistent with internal management reporting, after primarily giving effect to the following assumptions and adjustments:

• Application of the acquisition method of accounting;
• Elimination of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Acquisition;
• Adjustments to reflect the new financing arrangements entered into and legacy financing arrangements retired in connection with the Acquisition;
• The exchange of 0.2000 share(s) of Cabot Microelectronics common stock for each share of KMG common stock; and
• Conformance of accounting policies.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the completion of the acquisition. We utilized estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date to allocate the total consideration exchanged to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation was initially completed as of November 15, 2018. The allocation may be adjusted for up to one-year post closing.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined financial information has been prepared on the basis of SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been realized had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of our anticipated combined future results. In addition, the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income do not reflect any additional anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings, or any integration costs that may result from the Acquisition.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transaction, (2) factually supportable and (3) are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company. As a result, under SEC Regulation S-X Article 11, certain non-recurring expenses such as deal costs and compensation expenses related to severance or accelerated stock compensation and certain non-cash costs related to the fair value step-up of inventory are eliminated from pro forma results in the periods presented. Certain recurring historical KMG expenses related to depreciation, amortization, financing costs and costs of sales have been adjusted as if the Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2017.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, including the related notes included herein, should be read in conjunction with Cabot Microelectronics’ Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on January 30, 2019, as well as our consolidated financial statements included in this release and the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Cabot Microelectronics and KMG, which are available to the public at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Adjustments included in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income are as follows:

1. Depreciation and amortization expense are adjusted by removing depreciation and amortization associated with legacy KMG assets and assigning a pro forma expense based on the fair value of the assets on the date of the Acquisition. For periods after the date of the Acquisition, there is no pro forma adjustment for Depreciation and actual booked depreciation is reflected on a straight-line basis. Depreciation costs are allocated to costs of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses based on historical KMG allocations. Amortization costs are allocated to costs of sales or selling, general and administrative expense based on the use of the asset, where applicable.
2. Cost of sales is impacted by increased inventory balance caused by the non-cash impact of the step up to fair value of the inventory. The incremental costs of sales driven by the inventory step-up during the period have been removed.
3. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, an impairment charge in the amount of $67.4 million was incurred related to the Wood Treatment business, which was acquired from KMG.  While still within the one-year remeasurement period after the Acquisition Date, it was determined that the facts and circumstances that triggered the impairment were not known, or could have been reasonably known, at the time of the transaction. Further, it was determined that the impairment charge was not directly attributable to the transaction and therefore, would not be wholly removed for purposes of pro forma reporting.  Since the impairment charge taken for September 2019 reported results was based on the actual Acquisition Date while the pro forma financials are based upon an October 1, 2017 acquisition date, the pro forma adjustment of $16.2 million to reduce the impairment charge to $51.2 million for pro forma results is required.  This adjustment reflects the difference between amortization and depreciation expense recognized post-acquisition from the earlier pro forma acquisition date vs. the amortization and depreciation expense recognized in reported results from the actual Acquisition Date. The impairment adjustment is tax effected at 25.3%, which considers the taxing jurisdictions where the impaired assets are held (United States and Mexico) and the period for which the impairment is deemed to have occurred (the three months ended September 30, 2019).    
4. Directly attributable and non-recurring compensation expense related to non-recurring retention expenses and stock award vesting directly attributable to the Acquisition are removed for pro forma purposes. For KMG stock awards that were replaced by Cabot stock awards in connection with the Acquisition, the vesting for on-going service expenses are added as a pro forma adjustment.
5. The elimination of non-recurring deal costs incurred in connection with the Acquisition.
6. As a result of the Acquisition, there were non-recurring costs incurred by KMG as a result of retiring old debt. The costs associated with retiring the old debt facility and other financial instruments are removed for pro forma purposes. These instruments were retired as a result of the Acquisition and are not included in the pro forma results, which are presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2017.
7. Changes in interest expense as a result of financing associated with the Acquisition. The adjustments remove legacy KMG interest costs, including unused revolver fees and adds the costs associated with the new financing facilities as if the Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2017. The calculation of interest expense considers the changing LIBOR rate and uses monthly period end averages from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2019.

We calculated the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using a 21.4% and 23.4% tax rate, which represent the weighted average statutory tax rate for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Additionally, for the 2018 periods presented, we calculated the unaudited pro forma weighted average number of basic shares outstanding by adding the Cabot Microelectronics weighted average number of basic shares outstanding from the share amounts disclosed in the historical Quarterly and Annual reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K to the amount of shares issued in connection with the Acquisition, as if the shares were held for the entire period.

We calculated the unaudited pro forma weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding by adding the number of shares issued in the Acquisition to the amount disclosed in the historical Cabot Microelectronics Quarterly and Annual Reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K.The basic and diluted EPS calculation takes pro forma net income divided by the applicable number of shares outstanding.

Quarter over quarter and year over year numbers may not always roll forward when comparing to prior period Pro Forma reported results. Variances can be attributed to: changes in purchase price allocation values and useful lives, differences in the allocation between cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, tax rate assumptions and interest rate calculations.

Reconciliation of Pro Forma and Non-GAAP Adjusted Pro Forma Information

The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the way that management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis. We refer to these measures “Adjusted Pro Forma”, which begin with Pro Forma results that are prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 and are included above. These results are then adjusted for the following additional items:

• Removal of amortization of acquisition related intangibles, since management believes that these costs are not indicative of the company’s core operating performance.
• Removal of the difference between reported GAAP interest expense and Article 11 pro forma interest expense, which is prepared as if the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2017. This adjustment is made for periods when Cabot Microelectronics owned KMG for the full reporting period.
• Removal of integration expenses, as they are non-recurring in nature.
• Adjustment for U.S. Tax Reform, which represents a significant non-recurring item affecting comparability among periods.
• Removal of certain costs related to a warehouse fire at KMG-Bernuth.
• Removal of certain costs related to the restructuring of wood treatment business.
• Removal of charges related to asset impairment of wood treatment business.

Reconciliations for these items are provided in the tables below.
