AMCOL International Corporation (NYSE: ACO) Reports Third Quarter Results

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL--(Marketwired - Oct 25, 2013) - For the third quarter of 2013, AMCOL International Corporation (NYSE: ACO) reported $0.61 of diluted loss per share attributable to AMCOL shareholders including $1.21 per share of non-cash impairment charges from our South African chromite and health and beauty (HBS) operations. Excluding the impairments, we realized $0.60 of diluted earnings per share, comparable to the $0.59 per share earned in the prior year's quarter.

In the remainder of this press release, the discussion of our third quarter 2013 results of operations excludes the impact of the South African and HBS impairments except where noted. See the attached supplemental information for a reconciliation of our results excluding these impairment charges.

Net sales increased $14.3 million, or 5.7%, to $263.5 million in the 2013 third quarter. While gross profit increased $0.9 million, gross profit margin decreased 120 basis points to 26.4%. Operating profit and operating profit margin decreased $0.7 million and 90 basis points, respectively, with the decrease in gross profit margin and a $1.6 million increase in SG&A expenses. Our effective tax rate for the 2013 third quarter was 22.6% compared to 29.5% in the prior year period; the current period is favorably affected by adjustments made in the quarter, including 500 basis points of benefit from discrete items and changes in estimates for forecasted income for the year.

"We were pleased with the results of our Performance Materials segment where, despite weakness in chromite, sales growth of 8.1% generated a 9.8% increase in operating profit. Metalcasting products excluding chromite were steady in North America and grew nicely in Asia. Growth from our fabric care and pet products also contributed to the positive results for the segment. This was partially offset by continued softness in drilling fluids and chromite," said AMCOL President and CEO Ryan McKendrick.

"In our Construction Technologies segment, we were pleased with the results as the management team grew sales by 3.6% versus the prior year, yielding a 32.9% increase in operating profit. The operational streamlining and restructuring initiatives started in early 2013 are now having a positive impact. Large projects under way, several of which utilize our newly developed geosynthetic clay liner technology, also contributed to the results," McKendrick continued.

"Our Energy Services segment completed a difficult quarter. Our Malaysian operations recorded a loss for the quarter due to lower service revenue and cost overruns to complete fixed price capital equipment sales in our filtration services. Domestically, price pressure for land based services offset strong performance in our filtration services. Oversupply challenges continue to adversely impact pricing and margins for several completion and production related services; we have initiated cost reduction activities in these services," McKendrick added.

"Moving on, our chromite processing plant in South Africa, with its patented process, is the only one in the world that produces a very high percentage of its output in the form of foundry grade chromite. However, excess capacity from other multi-grade producers of chromite has impacted the foundry grade market, and we are convinced that our pricing and ability to grow market share in the future has been impacted," McKendrick commented.

"Given the challenging outlook for market share growth and pricing, we believe we will not recover our investment in these chromite assets. While not excluding any options, our basic strategy remains intact -- to produce foundry grade chromite with greater efficiency than any of our competitors and to market it with world class technical and sales support. We expect to be better positioned than our competitors," McKendrick continued.

As a result, we recorded a $52.3 million non-cash impairment charge against our South African chromite long lived assets. The decrease in the outlook for our chromite operations and the impairment expense resulted in an increase to cost of goods sold ($52.2 million) and SG&A expenses ($0.1 million) and was partially offset by tax benefits ($10.3 million) and non-controlling interests ($6.9 million), resulting in a $35.1 million reduction in net income attributable to AMCOL shareholders.

In the third quarter of 2013, we also committed to a plan to divest our health and beauty business (HBS) within our Performance Materials segment. In conjunction with these efforts, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.2 million to reduce the long lived assets of these operations to their fair market value. We have included this impairment, along with the normal results of the HBS operations, within discontinued operations.

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

The following paragraphs discuss our most recent results. The statement of operations highlights are supported by the quarterly segment results schedules included in this press release and the discussion of them below. As they relate to our results as contained in the statement of operations, the following comments relate to our results for the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, unless otherwise noted, and exclude the effect of the South African chromite and HBS impairment charges as previously discussed. See the attached supplemental information for a reconciliation of our results excluding these impairment charges. As they relate to the balance sheet, the following paragraphs highlight our financial condition as of September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. As they relate to our statement of cash flows, the following comments compare our results for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2012.

The $14.3 million increase in revenues was generated across all operating segments, with Performance Materials segment experiencing the largest increase. While gross profits increased marginally, gross profit margin decreased largely due to decreases in our Energy Services segment. Increases within our corporate segment drove the overall increase in SG&A expenses.

On a segment basis, revenues in our Performance Materials segment increased $9.4 million, or 8.1%, largely due to improved volumes. While metalcasting revenues decreased mostly due to lower chromite sales and timing of large export shipments, our other product lines increased their sales. Increased bad debt and professional fees for mining reserve evaluations for our chromite operation led to the increase in SG&A expenses. 

Construction Technologies segment revenues increased $2.2 million, or 3.6%, due to increased demand for its lining technology and drilling products. Better product mix in our European subsidiaries and increased volumes in our traditional lining products favorably impacted gross profit margin, increasing it 120 basis points to 34.2%. Our restructuring efforts have led to decreased SG&A expenses. These factors improved operating profit by 32.9% to $9.3 million and operating profit margin by 320 basis points to 14.8%.

Revenues in our Energy Services segment increased $3.7 million, or 5.4%. Revenues increased $13.0 million domestically and decreased $9.3 million internationally. Our domestic filtration revenues increased as activity in the offshore market continues to recover. Demand for land based services, especially coil tubing services, increased, albeit at lower prices. Not only did our Malaysian filtration revenues decrease, but we increased our estimates of the costs required to complete fixed price sales of capital equipment, both of which negatively impacted gross profit margins. The 640 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was also caused by selling price pressure resulting from increased competition on our US land based services. The decreased gross profits combined with flat SG&A expenses decreased the segment's operating profits by $4.1 million.

Our corporate SG&A expenses increased $1.2 million for a variety of factors, the largest of which was increased information technology and new product development expenses.

Our cash flows from operating activities decreased $15.9 million to $56.3 million as investments in working capital increased. The current year-to-date period is not benefitting from the significant decrease in accounts receivable that we experienced in the prior year's period, especially in our Performance Materials segment. Capital expenditures increased, mostly in our Energy Services segment, and we invested $5.0 million in Novinda in the first quarter of 2013. The combination of these factors led us to borrow $39.0 million more than in the prior year-to-date period. Our quarterly dividend rate remained constant at $0.20 per share in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012.
