Intertape Polymer Group Reports Improved Third Quarter 2012 Results

Adjusted EBITDA of $23.5 million increased 32.0% over last year

 

MONTREAL, QUEBEC and BRADENTON, FLORIDA – November 7, 2012 - Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX:ITP) (“Intertape” or the “Company”) today released results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. All dollar amounts are US denominated unless otherwise indicated.

Third Quarter 2012 Highlights:

   

Gross margin increased to 18.2% from 15.1% last year

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.0% to $23.5 million

   

Cash flows from operating activities before changes in working capital increased 52.1% over last year to $21.2 million

   

Total debt reduced by $21.5 million from Q2 2012

   

Adjusted fully diluted EPS of $0.21 compared to $0.07 last year

   

Redeemed $25.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) in August

Other Announcements:

   

Semi-annual dividend of CDN$0.08 per share paid in October.

   

Notice of Redemption issued for an additional $55 million of Notes to occur in December.

   

Entered into a ten-year real estate secured term loan (“Real Estate Loan”) of $16.6 million in November.

“Our gross margin of 18.2% for the quarter was in line with our expectations reflecting the ongoing results from several internal initiatives including increasing new product sales and ongoing manufacturing cost reduction programs,” stated Intertape President and Chief Executive Officer, Greg Yull.

“Our continued improved operating performance and balance sheet have positioned the Company to be able to redeem an additional $55 million of Notes in December. The redemption of the Notes is expected to reduce the average interest rate on total debt from approximately 6% at the end of the third quarter to approximately 4% at the end of the fourth quarter. Finally, as we pursue opportunities to replace machinery and equipment to achieve improved manufacturing efficiencies, our capital expenditure program for fiscal year 2013 will temporarily exceed the levels of the past few years,” indicated Mr. Yull.

Third quarter revenue decreased 1.4% to $198.5 million, compared to $201.4 million in 2011 and increased 0.4% sequentially from $197.8 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Sales volume increased approximately 2% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and approximately 5% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Sales volume was higher in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to the Company’s progress towards increasing sales of new products as well as increased demand for film products believed to be due to customers prebuying in anticipation of price increases in the fourth quarter of 2012. The sequential sales volume increase was primarily due to increased demand for tape and film product lines.

Selling prices, including the impact of product mix, decreased approximately 3% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in the mix of products, partially offset by a slight increase in selling prices. Selling prices, including the impact of product mix, decreased approximately 4% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a shift in the mix of products sold and, to a lesser extent, lower selling prices.

Gross profit totalled $36.2 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 19.2% from the third quarter of 2011 and a decrease of 1.3% from the second quarter of 2012. Gross margin was 18.2% in the third quarter of 2012, 15.1% for the same period in 2011, and 18.5% in the second quarter of 2012. As compared to the third quarter of 2011, gross profit increased primarily due to the progress made toward reducing sales of low-margin products, higher sales volumes and manufacturing cost reductions. The spread between selling prices and raw material costs is still somewhat compressed when compared to periods prior to 2010. As compared to the second quarter of 2012, gross profit decreased primarily due to planned down time for seasonal machinery maintenance partially offset by a slight improvement in the spread between selling prices and raw material costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) totalled $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, and $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 9.7%, 9.2% and 10.4% for the third quarter of 2012, the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. SG&A expenses were $0.7 million greater in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to increased professional fees related to taxes and managerial reporting enhancements as well as higher stock-based compensation expense. SG&A expenses were $1.4 million lower in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower variable compensation expense partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $23.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $22.2 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011 is primarily due to higher gross margin partially offset by lower revenue. The sequential increase in EBITDA was due to lower SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2012.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2012 totalled $12.0 million compared to net earnings of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, and a net loss of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in net earnings for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to increased gross profit, favorable foreign currency exchange, lower income tax expense and lower interest expense partially offset by higher SG&A expenses. The increase in net earnings in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily due to a decrease of $13.8 million in manufacturing facility closure costs, restructuring and other related charges.

Adjusted net earnings were $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in

adjusted net earnings in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 was primarily as a result of higher gross profit, lower finance costs and lower income tax expense as discussed above. Adjusted net earnings were higher compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of lower SG&A expenses and lower finance costs.

Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.21 ($0.20 unadjusted) compared with adjusted fully diluted earnings per share of $0.07 ($0.05 unadjusted) for the same period last year and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share of $0.16 ($(0.06) unadjusted) for the second quarter of 2012.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share are not generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measures. Whenever Intertape uses such non-GAAP measures, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most closely applicable GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company generated cash flows from operating activities before changes in working capital items for the third quarter of $21.2 million compared to $14.0 million in the same period last year and $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in cash flows from operations before changes in working capital compared to both periods was primarily due to increased operating profit before manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges. In addition, on a sequential basis, cash flows from operating activities before changes in working capital items also benefited from lower income taxes paid.

During the third quarter of 2012 and year-to-date, total debt decreased by $21.5 million and $27.3 million, respectively, due to improved cash flows from operating activities.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and loan availability under its asset-based loan facility (“ABL”) totalling $87.6 million. As of November 6, 2012, subsequent to receiving funding on a $16.6 million Real Estate Loan and paying a dividend of $4.8 million on October 10, 2012, the Company had cash and loan availability under its ABL exceeding $108 million.

Debt

On October 29, 2012, the Company issued a notice of redemption for $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Notes that bear interest at a rate of 8 1/2%. The Notes will be redeemed on December 13, 2012 (the “Redemption Date”) and the redemption price is 100% of the par value of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. The notional amount of Notes outstanding after this redemption will be $38.7 million.

On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into a Real Estate Loan in the amount of $16.6 million. The loan bears interest at a rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 250 basis points until December 31, 2012. Afterwards, the loan will bear interest at a rate of 30-day LIBOR plus a loan margin between 225 and 275 basis points determined by the Debt to EBITDA ratio as defined in the loan agreement.

Outlook

The Company will continue to focus on developing and selling higher margin products, reducing variable manufacturing costs, executing on the previously announced manufacturing plant initiatives and optimizing its debt structure. The Company anticipates the following:

 

   

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 is expected to be lower than the third quarter of 2012, which is reflective of normal seasonality. However, revenue is expected to be greater than the fourth quarter of 2011.

   

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 is expected to be equal to, or slightly greater than, the third quarter of 2012.

   

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 is expected to be significantly greater than the fourth quarter of 2011, but less than the third quarter of 2012.

   

Effective tax rate is expected to remain below 10% and cash taxes are expected to be less than 5% of earnings before income taxes for the full year 2012. Similar effective tax rates and cash taxes are expected for 2013.

   

Cash flows from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 are expected to include cash outflows of $1 to $2 million of costs related to previously announced manufacturing plant consolidations.

   

Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2012 are expected to be $12 to $14 million and $24 to $27 million for fiscal year 2012.

   

Total debt at December 31, 2012 is expected to be slightly lower than at September 30, 2012; however, the debt structure is expected to change significantly and result in a lower average cost of debt than in prior periods.

   

Capital expenditures for 2013 are expected to be $32 to $38 million, reflecting planned replacements of machinery and equipment to achieve improved manufacturing efficiencies. Subsequent to 2013, annual capital expenditures are expected to return to a lower level of approximately $15 to $17 million.

   

Reductions in both the total amount and average cost of debt will remain a priority for the Company during 2013.

Assuming stable or improving macro-economic conditions, the Company expects to achieve quarterly gross margin in the range of 18% to 20% during 2013.

EBITDA

A reconciliation of the Company’s EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to GAAP net earnings (loss) is set out in the EBITDA reconciliation table below. EBITDA should not be construed as earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP. The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) interest and other (income) expense; (ii) income tax expense (benefit); (iii) refinancing expense, net of amortization; (iv) amortization of debt issue expenses; (v) amortization of intangible assets; and (vi) depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before (i) manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges; (ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) impairment of goodwill; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets and other assets; (v) write-down on assets classified as held-for-sale; and (vi) other items as disclosed. The terms “EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA” do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and

should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or as alternatives to net earnings (loss) as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that it permits investors to make a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance between periods presented. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by Management and the Company’s lenders in evaluating the Company’s performance.

Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)

A reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted net earnings (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, to GAAP net earnings (loss) is set out in the adjusted net earnings (loss) reconciliation table below. Adjusted net earnings (loss) should not be construed as net earnings (loss) as determined by GAAP. The Company defines adjusted net earnings (loss) as net earnings (loss) before (i) manufacturing facility closures, restructuring, and other related charges; (ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) impairment of goodwill; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets and other assets; (v) write-down on assets classified as held-for-sale; (vi) other items as disclosed; and (vii) income tax effect of these items. The term “adjusted net earnings (loss)” does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings

(loss) as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company has included this non-GAAP financial measure because it believes that it permits investors to make a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance between periods presented. In addition, adjusted net earnings (loss) is used by Management in evaluating the Company’s performance because it believes it provides a more accurate indicator of the Company’s performance.

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is also presented in the following table and is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be construed as earnings (loss) per share as determined by GAAP. The Company defines adjusted earnings (loss) per share as adjusted net earnings (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, both basic and diluted. The term “adjusted earnings (loss) per share” does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings (loss) per share as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
