NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 2, 2016 – Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) today reported third quarter net sales of $252.0 million and a net loss of $4.8 million, reflecting the impact of a $32.2 million non-cash restructuring charge associated with the closure of the company’s Palmeira, Brazil, crude tall oil (CTO) refinery. Ingevity’s third quarter net loss as a percentage of sales was 1.9 percent compared to prior year’s net income as a percentage of sales of 9.6 percent. Sales were down 1.8 percent versus the prior year’s third quarter. The third quarter diluted loss per share was $0.17. Excluding restructuring and other costs of $0.77 per share and separation costs of $0.04 per share, diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.64. Diluted pro forma adjusted earnings per share were $0.62 in the previous year’s quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $59.6 million were up 5.3 percent versus third quarter 2015 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $56.6 million. Ingevity’s third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.7 percent was up 160 basis points from the prior year’s third quarter pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.1 percent.

“Ingevity delivered higher adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA margins in the third quarter despite slightly lower sales,” said Michael Wilson, Ingevity’s president and CEO. “The diversity of our businesses, in combination with effective execution in our cost-reduction programs, enabled us to post a strong quarter in line with our expectations.”

Wilson said the company’s Performance Materials segment continued its outstanding performance. “We are continuing to benefit from ongoing adoption of more stringent automotive gasoline vapor emission regulations, particularly in North America. In combination with the trend toward larger vehicles – which positively affected our product mix – our business is growing far in excess of vehicle demand. These revenue impacts, along with strong operational performance, spurred excellent earnings growth.”

He further stated that the company’s Performance Chemicals segment continued to face headwinds. “Our industrial specialties and oilfield applications businesses continued to experience volume and pricing pressure. However, we are beginning to see success in obtaining new business in downstream applications and penetrating new regions. Sales of our pavement technology products were also down in the quarter due to weaker than expected results in China. However, the long-term secular trends in pavement technologies applications remain strong, and we expect to see continued strong adoption of our pavement preservation and warm mix asphalt technologies going forward.”

Wilson said the company is maintaining its cost-reduction focus and remains on track to deliver $25 million to $30 million in cost savings in 2016.

“As part of our continued evaluation of our cost structure, we have decided to close our Palmeira, Brazil, CTO refinery,” Wilson said. The company intends to cease production there by year end. The plant’s closure is expected to reduce the company’s employment by approximately 80 people. The Palmeira facility represents approximately 10 percent of Ingevity’s CTO refining capacity and is its highest cost refinery. “Market conditions in South America have remained weak for an extended period, and as such we believe it’s necessary to scale our operations to the market opportunity. We expect to be able to supply our customer base in South America more cost effectively from our U.S. operations and to realize operational cost savings in 2017.”

 

Third Quarter 2016 Reportable Segment Financial Results

Performance Materials: Segment sales in the third quarter 2016 were a quarterly record at $79.3 million, up $15.4 million, or 24.1 percent, versus the third quarter 2015. Segment operating profit was $27.6 million, up $7.3 million, or 36 percent, versus the prior year quarter. Segment EBITDA were also a record at $32.3 million, up $9.9 million, or 44.2 percent, versus the prior year pro forma segment EBITDA. In automotive applications, increased regulatory adoption with the roll out of 2017 model year vehicles in North America drove strong revenue and earnings growth.

Performance Chemicals: Segment sales in the third quarter 2016 were $172.7 million, down $19.9 million, or 10.3 percent, versus the third quarter 2015. Segment operating profit was $21.9 million, down $8.5 million, or 28.0 percent, versus the prior year quarter. Segment EBITDA were $27.3 million, down $6.9 million, or 20.2 percent, versus the prior year quarter pro forma segment EBITDA due to lower sales volumes and pricing pressure, which were partially offset by savings in energy and raw materials and other cost-reduction initiatives.

 

Outlook

Ingevity raised the midpoint and narrowed the range for its fiscal year 2016 guidance on sales to between $895 million and $905 million and on adjusted EBITDA to between $192 million and $197 million. The previous guidance announced last quarter had been for sales of between $880 million and $910 million and adjusted EBITDA of between $180 million and $195 million.

The fourth quarter is expected to reflect the seasonality of Ingevity’s businesses, particularly sales in pavement technologies applications. In addition, the quarter will be impacted by several ongoing scheduled outages at Ingevity’s manufacturing facilities. The company said these maintenance outages are all proceeding as planned. Pressure in industrial specialties and oilfield applications is anticipated to continue in the fourth quarter. The company expects that these headwinds will be countered by continued growth in the Performance Materials segment.

“As we head into the homestretch of 2016, we continue to position Ingevity for growth, higher margins, and improved returns,” said Wilson. “We’re focused on delivering value to our customers, driving efficiencies, and creating value for our company and its shareholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ingevity has presented certain financial measures which have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included in the financial schedules accompanying this news release, under the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2016 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as it cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. These components include additional costs associated with the separation from WestRock, further restructuring and other income or charges incurred in 2016 as well as the related tax impacts of these items. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted EBITDA.

Ingevity Corporation
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ingevity has presented certain financial measures, defined below, which have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and has provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business, because such measures, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results.

Ingevity uses the following non-GAAP measures, inclusive of pro forma adjustments:

Adjusted earnings (loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Ingevity stockholders plus restructuring and other (income) charges, separation costs, and the income tax expense (benefit) on those items.

Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share is defined as diluted earnings (loss) per common share attributable to Ingevity stockholders plus restructuring and other (income) charges per share, separation costs per share, and the income tax expense (benefit) per share on those items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, separation costs and restructuring and other (income) charges.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales

Segment EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization.

Segment EBITDA Margin is defined as Segment EBITDA divided by Net Sales.

The Company also uses the above financial measures as the primary measures of profitability used by managers of the business and its segments. In addition, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin are useful measures because they exclude the effects of financing and investment activities as well as non-operating activities. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP and investors should consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are set forth within the following pages.

Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments

The non-GAAP financial measures noted above, adjusted for the Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments, apply only to our quarterly periods within and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments are from the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements which were derived from the historical Combined Financial Statements of Ingevity, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements include adjustments required by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1:B-3 and Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. For more information on the pro forma adjustments see the section entitled: “Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments” included within this Exhibit.

A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2016 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as we cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. These components include additional costs associated with the separation from WestRock, further restructuring and other income or charges incurred in 2016 as well as the related tax impacts of these items. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted EBITDA.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments

For more information regarding the Ingevity’s unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements” in the Ingevity’s registration statement on Form 10 and amendments thereto (the “Form 10”), copies of which may be obtained by visiting the web site of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, at www.sec.gov. The “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations” included within Ingevity’s registration statement on Form 10 is presented for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and gives effect as if the pro forma adjustments had occurred on January 1, the first day of fiscal year 2015. Presented below is a quarterly impact of each respective pro forma adjustments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

(A) We have entered into agreements to obtain audit and certain compliance functions as a stand-alone public company as well as compensation agreements with certain members of our executive team. Prior to the completion of the separation, we estimated that we would also enter into agreements to obtain insurance coverage according to quotations we had received based on our individual loss history, credit profile and selected insurance coverage. These expenses represent recurring costs in excess of the amounts historically allocated to Ingevity.

In addition, at the completion of the separation we entered into a new raw material supply agreement with WestRock for the purchase of black liquor soap skimmings (“BLSS”) and crude tall oil (“CTO”). We historically obtained BLSS and CTO from WestRock under previously existing supply agreements. We evaluated the new agreement and its impact on our pro forma income statement. The pro forma adjustment also included incremental costs of less than $1 million for the full year 2015 associated with this new agreement calculated by applying the new agreement’s pricing terms to the actual purchased volumes in 2015.

The 2015 pro forma adjustment by segment by quarter is included in the below table:

2015
In millions Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 YTD
Performance Chemicals 1.9 1.9 2.1 2.0 7.9
Performance Materials 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.6 2.7
Total $ 2.6 $ 2.6 $ 2.8 $ 2.6 $ 10.6

(B) Represents the tax effect of proforma adjustments for each respective period.
(C) Represents adjustments to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs related to our target pro forma long-term indebtedness. The 2015 pro forma adjustment by quarter is included in the below table:

(D) Represents the elimination of expenses directly related to transaction costs incurred during 2015 in connection with the separation from WestRock, primarily related to professional fees associated with separation activities within the finance, tax and legal functions. The 2015 pro forma adjustment by quarter is included in the below table:
