OREANDA-NEWS. July 29, 2016. Chemtura Corporation (NYSE:CHMT) (Euronext Paris:CHMT) (the “Company,” “Chemtura,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.  The Company also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  For the second quarter of 2016, Chemtura reported net sales of \\$441 million and net earnings from continuing operations on a GAAP basis of \\$34 million, or \\$0.53 per diluted share.  Net earnings from continuing operations on a Non-GAAP basis were \\$26 million, or \\$0.40 per diluted share.

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

The discussion below includes financial information on both a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis.  Later in this release we explain our Non-GAAP metrics including how each is calculated, why we use the specific metric and the internal controls around our Non-GAAP metrics.  We have provided reconciliations of our GAAP financial information to our Non-GAAP financial metrics in the supplemental schedules attached to this release.  The use of Non-GAAP metrics is not a substitute for GAAP measures and should not be considered as such.

The following is a summary of the unaudited financial results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis (a description of our Non-GAAP metrics appears later in this release):

CEO Remarks

“Our performance in the second quarter continued our strong start to 2016,” said Craig Rogerson, Chemtura’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our second quarter results delivered meaningful improvement over prior year performance, led by our IEP segment.  Year-over-year improvements in pricing for bromine and its derivatives combined with robust sales for our Emerald Innovation™ 3000 product led the way for IEP.  Across the board, our commercial excellence and cost reduction initiatives continue to drive consistent bottom line results.”

Mr. Rogerson continued, “As I projected on our last conference call, our IEP segment delivered sequential operating income improvement whereas our IPP segment saw lower sales and operating income this quarter compared to both the prior quarter and a year ago.  Lower IPP operating income was due to the continued weak demand for our urethane products used in mining and oil and gas applications as well as for certain synthetic based products in our petroleum additives business and the benefit of a license fee in the first quarter which did not repeat in the second quarter.  In addition, IPP incurred a \\$2 million charge for the resolution of a disputed multi-year state excise tax matter that impacted its results in the second quarter.”

“We are pleased to have kept pace with our strong first quarter 2016 results and we believe that our first half performance puts us in an excellent position to meet our stated goals for the full year.  Operating income in the first and second quarters of this year (excluding the effect of the pension settlement charge in the first quarter) were nearly the same when you net the effect of the state excise tax matter in the second quarter with the license income in the first quarter.”

Concluding, Mr. Rogerson noted, “As also projected, net cash flows provided by operating activities were strong in the second quarter at \\$76 million.  We were also able to repurchase a further 0.8 million shares of our common stock at a cost of \\$21 million.  As of June 30, 2016, our total shares of common stock outstanding was 63.2 million.”

Second Quarter Overview - GAAP Basis

See tables that follow for a quantitative summary of components of change by segment between the second quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2015 ("year-over-year") and compared to the first quarter of 2016 ("sequential")

Industrial Performance Products ("IPP")

Our IPP segment delivered lower year-over-year net sales and operating income.  Sequential net sales were flat but operating income was lower.

The year-over-year reduction in net sales primarily reflected lower sales prices in the current period that are the result of passing along the benefit of lower raw material costs to certain of our customers.  Additionally, sales volume for our urethane products used in mining and oil and gas applications declined due to continued soft demand conditions in those markets.  Sequentially, sales volume grew modestly as petroleum additives sales of inhibitor and detergents increased offset by lower sales volume for certain synthetic lubricant basestocks and intermediates as well as the lower urethane products sales volumes.

Operating income year-over-year benefited from the net change in sales prices compared to the change in raw material costs ("price-over-raw-materials") and lower distribution costs and inventory adjustments.  However, these gains were offset by the lower volume of our urethane products coupled with the \\$2 million charge associated with the state excise tax matter in the second quarter of 2016.  Sequentially, we also benefited from favorable price-over-raw-materials and lower distribution costs, but this was offset by unfavorable product mix and the settlement of the state excise tax matter.  Additionally, in the first quarter of 2016, we recognized income on a technology license of approximately \\$2 million, which did not repeat in the second quarter.

Industrial Engineered Products ("IEP")

Our IEP segment reported an improvement in net sales and operating income on a sequential basis.  On a year-over-year basis we reported an increase in operating income on lower net sales.

Net sales were lower compared to last year.  The benefit of higher sales prices and increase sales volume for our Emerald Innovation 3000™ product, bromine and bromine derivatives and organometallics products was offset by lower sales volume resulting from the planned exit of our bromine-based biocides product line and the closure of our Adrian, MI facility in June 2015.  A decline in demand for our clear brine fluids used in the drilling of deep offshore oil and gas wells as exploration activities reduced due to lower oil prices and lower volumes also impacted IEP's second quarter net sales.  On a sequential basis, net sales increased reflecting improvement in sales volumes for flame retardants used in electric and electronic applications, and clear brine fluids coupled with higher sales prices for certain organometallics products.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2016 was higher sequentially and compared to the prior year.  In the year-over-year comparison, operating income reflected the benefit of lower manufacturing costs and favorable absorption associated with higher volumes primarily of Emerald Innovation 3000™, favorable price-over-raw-materials and lower selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a result of last year's business restructuring and continued focus on cost management.  Sequentially, the increase in operating income primarily reflected favorable manufacturing cost absorption as a result of the higher demand and volume for our Emerald Innovation 3000TM product and increased sales volume offset in part by unfavorable price-over-raw-materials and higher costs for distribution.

Corporate

Our Corporate segment expense decreased year-over-year and sequentially.  Year-over-year, the decrease is primarily related to a reduction in amortization and costs associated with employee incentive and benefit plan accruals.  Sequentially, the decline in costs is primarily the result of a \\$162 million pension settlement charge that we recorded in the first quarter of 2016 that did not repeat in the second quarter.  The pension settlement charge was related to the transfer of certain retiree payment obligations of our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan to an outside insurance company.

Agrochemical Manufacturing Segment

The Agrochemical Manufacturing segment reported lower year-over-year net sales but operating income was flat.  Sequentially, net sales were higher but operating income was unchanged.

The decrease in net sales was attributable to a reduction in volume coupled with a change from a supply agreement to a tolling agreement in Brazil implemented earlier in 2016 (which reduced both net sales and cost of sales).  We note that the results include net sales and operating profit related to the non-cash amortization, net of accretion, of a below-market contract obligation that is related to our supply agreements.  These amounts were  \\$10 million in the second quarter of 2015 and 2016 and \\$9 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense on a GAAP basis was \\$13 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared with expense of \\$16 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a benefit of \\$15 million in the first quarter of 2016.  In the first quarter of 2016, we recognized a tax benefit of \\$33 million related to the pension annuity transaction.

For purposes of calculating our Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) From Continuing Operations, we have applied a Non-GAAP tax rate of 28% which is anticipated to be the annual income tax rate as determined by U.S. GAAP accounting, adjusted to exclude the tax effects of certain types of income and expense as listed in our Non-GAAP Measures policy below.

Cash income taxes paid (net of refunds) for the second quarter of 2016, the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 were \\$7 million, \\$2 million and \\$2 million, respectively.

Other Highlights

  • Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2016 was \\$76 million as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of \\$53 million for the second quarter of 2015 and net cash used in operating activities of \\$32 million for the first quarter of 2016.   In the first quarter of 2016, we made cash contributions of \\$49 million to our pension and post-retirement benefit plans, which impacted operating cash.  The cash contributions made to our pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 were \\$4 million.
  • Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2016 were \\$23 million compared to \\$19 million in the second quarter of 2015 and \\$15 million in the first quarter of 2016.  The increase was due to higher spending at our El Dorado, Arkansas facility.
  • Our total debt was \\$476 million as of June 30, 2016 compared with \\$511 million as of December 31, 2015.  The decrease is primarily due to a prepayment of \\$39 million in the second quarter of 2016 on our Term Loan due July 2017 (the "Term Loan").  We repaid our Term Loan with cash on hand.  Debt as reported in our financial statements reflected the change in the first quarter of 2016 in U.S. GAAP to now report debt net of unamortized debt financing costs.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were \\$186 million as of June 30, 2016 compared with \\$323 million as of December 31, 2015.  The decrease was primarily the result of capital expenditures, shares repurchases under our share repurchase program, the \\$35 million contribution of cash to our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan in the first quarter of 2016 and the prepayment on the Term Loan.

Outlook

“Our results in the first half of 2016 (excluding the first quarter 2016 pension settlement charge) confirms we are on track to achieve our profitability improvement goals for the full year that we described at our Investor Day last December,” said Mr. Rogerson.  “Consistent with those goals, we anticipate that operating income in the second half of 2016 will be comparable to that delivered in the first half of 2016 (excluding the pension settlement expense).  We project that both IEP and IPP will contribute to this continuing year-over-year improvement.  This should also be reflected in growth in earnings per share.”

Concluding, Mr. Rogerson noted, “The improvement in net cash flow provided by operations in the second quarter has laid the foundation to meet our cash flow goals for 2016 after the slow start in the first quarter of the year."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information presented in this press release and in the attached financial tables includes financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We refer to those financial measures as “Non-GAAP”.  While GAAP provides a prescribed format for presenting financial information, internally we have developed and use other financial metrics and measures to make resource allocation decisions, evaluate our underlying performance, compare that performance to peer companies, identify operating trends, determine performance-based compensation, and, among other factors, predict future performance and cash inflows and outflows.  Understanding the Non-GAAP financial measures we use to manage our business and resources provides our investors with insights that cannot be obtained by a review of the GAAP based measures alone.  Many of the Non-GAAP financial measures we use in managing our business can be calculated by investors and other users of our financial statements; however, we provide this information to the public to ensure there are not multiple interpretations of the calculation of any such measure.  To assist our investors in understanding the differences between our GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, we have provided a reconciliation between these presentations in the attached financial tables.

Our Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and policies are posted on our website at www.Chemtura.com so that they can be easily referenced by our investors.

We use each of the following Non-GAAP measures to provide investors and other users of our financial statements with additional information to aid their understanding of our primary business performance trends as well as our current and future potential cash inflows and outflows:

Non-GAAP Net Sales - Included in our presentation of GAAP Net Sales is the revenue accretion and amortization of a below market contract liability related to the supply agreements resulting from the sale of our Chemtura AgroSolutions business.  We excluded these revenues as the accretion and amortization do not generate current or future cash flows. We also exclude the benefit of this accretion and amortization in computing Non-GAAP profitability measures.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) -  EBITDA is a financial measure frequently used by investors and others to understand a company’s profitability as well as its ability to meet debt service obligations, make investments and compare performance and valuation to other companies.  This measure excludes cash and non-cash income or charges that exist in a company’s GAAP presentation that do not necessarily represent current or future cash inflows or outflows of business operations.  For example, depreciation and amortization are charges that reduce a company’s net income, but reflect a historic rather than current use of cash and share-based compensation expense is a charge where there is no current use of cash.  This pre-tax measure also excludes interest expense as well as other miscellaneous income and expense, such as realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and loss, that we have concluded are not representative of current performance of our operating businesses.  Our calculation begins with GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) from which we exclude GAAP income tax expense, GAAP interest expense, GAAP depreciation and amortization, GAAP other income or expense, the non-cash share-based compensation expense and certain other income and charges as listed in the description of our Non-GAAP policy below.  It is also one of the performance measures used to determine the amount, if any, of a payout under our management incentive plans.

Non-GAAP Last Twelve Months (LTM) Adjusted EBIDTA - Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for any period is calculated as noted above.  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the annual period is one of the performance measures used to determine the amount, if any, of a payout under our management incentive plans.  We utilize a rolling twelve month Non-GAAP EBITDA metric to measure our progress against our annual targeted Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in any period.  LTM Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the previous year-end period as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2015, subtracting the Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as calculated based on the principles noted above for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and adding the Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as calculated based on the principle above for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes - As defined by GAAP, Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Tax is a sub-total that provides information regarding an entity’s results of continuing operations excluding any amounts related specifically to income taxes.  It is calculated by taking Net Earnings (Loss) and excluding any income or loss associated with discontinued operations and any income tax expense.  To calculate Non-GAAP Earnings/(Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, we start with GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) and exclude any results related to discontinued operations, income tax expense and certain other income and charges as listed in the description of our Non-GAAP policy below.  This sub-total is necessary when computing income tax expense on an interim basis (as described below) for both GAAP and Non-GAAP purposes.

Non-GAAP Income Tax Expense/ Benefit - The calculation of our GAAP income tax expense or benefit in any interim period is based upon an estimate of our effective tax rate for the annual period multiplied by our interim GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, adjusted for discrete items if required.  The calculation of our Non-GAAP Income Tax Expense is based on the same principles as our GAAP income tax expense; however, we exclude from the calculation any tax associated with items that have been excluded, or are projected to be excluded during the calendar year, in our Non-GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, which are listed in the description of our Non-GAAP policy below.  We also exclude certain tax benefits and expenses as described in our Non-GAAP policy below.  Application of the GAAP tax rate to our Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes would render an income tax expense that does not correctly reflect the tax associated with the pre-tax adjustments we make in our Non-GAAP performance measures.  The computation of an effective tax rate reflecting the tax effect of our pre-tax Non-GAAP adjustments permits the calculation of after tax Non-GAAP performance measures and provides additional insights as to the underlying global tax rate for our primary business operations.  At the end of the calendar year, we prepare a tax provision based on Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, excluding certain tax benefits and expenses as described in our Non-GAAP policy below, in order to compute Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations (defined below) for the fourth quarter and calendar year.

Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations -  This measure is determined by applying the Non-GAAP Effective Tax Rate for interim periods, or for the calendar year, a tax provision, to our Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and reducing the Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes by that amount.  The resulting measure is termed Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations.  This metric is intended to provide users of the financial statements with an after tax profitability measure consistent with our pre-tax Non-GAAP measure and is required to compute Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share from Continuing Operations.

Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share from Continuing Operations - To calculate this Non-GAAP measure, we divide our Basic and Diluted Weighted Average Shares into our Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations.  To determine our Basic and Diluted Weighted Average Shares, we utilize GAAP principles under both presentations.  In many periods, the GAAP and Non-GAAP Basis and Weighted Average Shares are the same; however, should either the GAAP or Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations be anti-dilutive, the Diluted Weighted Averages Shares may differ between the two presentations.  This measure is used as one of the criteria to determine the amount, if any, of a payout under our management incentive plans.

Free Cash Flow - We define Free Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities less GAAP capital expenditures and investments in intangible assets as presented in our GAAP Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  It is intended to provide users of our financial statements an indication of cash flows that are generated by or used in our primary business operations alone.  We caution investors that this measure excludes Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities that can include mandatory debt service obligations.  It will also exclude investments such as acquisitions or cash proceeds from divestitures.  It includes cash contributions to pension plans and post-retirement benefit obligations as these are included in Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities.  This measure therefore cannot be used to understand changes in cash or in total indebtedness in any reporting period.

Net Debt - The term Net Debt is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated from information in our GAAP presentation.  We add Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt (combined “Total Debt”) less Cash and cash equivalents, all as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This metric provides users of our financial statements a view of our indebtedness were we to use all our cash and cash equivalents on hand to repay debt.

To ensure consistency in the presentation of these Non-GAAP measures, we have developed an internal accounting policy which specifies what types of income or expense are considered to be adjustments to our GAAP financial results and metrics.  In practice, this policy is reviewed annually and approved by our Disclosure Committee and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  Our Non-GAAP financial measures have not changed from the prior year, although in some years we do not have certain transactions.

In accordance with our Non-GAAP accounting policy, we adjust our pre-tax GAAP information for the following items:

  • costs associated with facility closures, severance and related costs, including accelerated depreciation due to changes in the useful life of assets, the accelerated recognition of asset retirement obligations as a result of facility closures, and any gain or loss on the disposal of any assets or facility that has been closed;
  • incremental environmental remediation charges resulting from a facility closure or the sale of a business which are not considered directly associated with our on-going operations;
  • gains and losses on the sale of businesses or the formation of joint ventures;
  • gains or losses related to the early extinguishment of debt;
  • income and expense on legal settlements for any significant matter or combination of related matters that is considered not directly associated with our on-going operations;
  • income and expense related to a major catastrophic event for any matter or combination of related matters that is considered not directly associated with our on-going operations;
  • asset impairment charges;
  • income or expense directly related to the purchase or sale of a business which was incurred in the periods prior to the purchase or sale but adjustments are only made after we have entered into a definitive agreement and announced the transaction and prior to the adoption of any discontinued operations treatment, if applicable;
  • gains or losses on the settlement or curtailment of our pension plans or post-retirement plans which occurred as a result of dispositions, mergers or significant plan amendments;
  • gains or losses associated with the release of the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon the complete or substantial liquidation of any majority-owned entities;
  • revenue or other income associated with the recognition of the fair value, net of accretion, of the significant below-market contractual obligations related to the supply agreements with Platform Specialty Products;  
  • tax expense or benefit associated with any of the pre-tax items noted above;
  • tax expense associated with the repatriation of net proceeds resulting from the sale of a business;
  • tax expense or benefit related to tax indemnification on the sale of businesses for periods prior to the sale; and
  • establishment or release of valuation allowance related to U.S. Federal and state net operating losses ("NOLs") and Federal tax credits generated prior to November 2010 and foreign NOLs of our subsidiaries primarily related to former businesses.

Although we utilize Non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor and analyze our performance, determine compensation under our management incentive plans and predict future performance, investors should not consider them to be a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, these Non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies and, therefore, should not be used in a comparison of our performance relative to other companies without further review of how others calculate these measures.
