CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Innophos Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPHS) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Highlights

  • Q3 earnings performance exceeded expectations; strongest adjusted diluted EPS performance in twelve quarters
  • Closed expediently on acquisition of Novel Ingredients; delivered $10 million of sales and accretive to EPS
  • Disciplined integration process established; unified Nutrition sales team presented during annual SupplySide West trade show
  • Food, Health and Nutrition (FHN) segment up 5% as Novel Ingredients' revenue contribution more than offset natural disasters-related demand impacts, as well as pricing decline
  • Delivered $1 million of new Phase 2 Operational Excellence cost savings in the areas of MRO, packaging and logistics; committed to achieve full target of $13 million
  • Full year 2017 revenue guidance increased to reflect Novel's contribution, and adjusted EBITDA maintained; both forecasted to be in line with prior year

"We delivered a solid third quarter on both the top and bottom line, including the strongest adjusted diluted EPS performance in the past twelve quarters," said Kim Ann Mink, Ph.D., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter we swiftly closed our Novel Ingredients acquisition, which in its first five weeks of operations contributed $10 million in sales and was $0.01 accretive to EPS excluding purchase accounting expenses."

"We have made excellent progress with the integration of Novel Ingredients, facilitated by a disciplined integration process led by our newly created Integration Management Office (IMO), and with oversight by an Executive Steering Committee. We already achieved several key milestones, including the integration of our Nutrition sales force. We continue to work toward delivering the $15 million of identified cost and tax synergies and we remain encouraged by the potential for cross-selling opportunities."

"We are mapping out a repeatable integration process that will be instrumental to drive toward our Vision 2022 growth aspirations," said Mink. "To that end, we continue to actively evaluate several strategic growth opportunities that advance our goal of being a leading specialty ingredient solutions provider to attractive FHN markets and more closely align Innophos with consumer mega-trends such as health and wellness, energized aging, and clean labels."

"Executing against our Operational Excellence pillar remains a key priority," continued Mink. "The implementation of our Phase 2 program involves process, systems and organizational changes to optimize our MRO, packaging and logistics costs. In Q3, we delivered $1 million of savings. We remain on track to deliver $13 million of Phase 2 total savings."

"Going forward, we remain steadfastly focused on executing against our three strategic pillars of Operational Excellence, Commercial Excellence and Strategic Growth to advance toward our Vision 2022 goals and deliver shareholder value," concluded Mink.

  • Q3 sales were broadly in line with prior year with higher sales in the FHN segment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million, a year-over-year increase of 3%, yielded a margin of 19%, up 79 basis points versus prior year.
  • Operational Excellence initiatives continued to make a strong contribution with favorable input costs more than offsetting lower selling prices and driving year-over-year gross margin enhancement.
  • GAAP Net income and EPS were adversely affected by purchase accounting and M&A related expenses.
  • Cash flow was positive but down year-over-year due to large working capital improvements in Q3 2016.
  • Capex was up $2 million versus the prior year quarter, mostly due to the Geismar deep well investments. The Geismar project is forecasted to come in under budget.

    Note: See Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to EBITDA in the financial tables that follow

 

  • FHN represented 53% of total Company sales and were up due to the contribution from Novel Ingredients which more than offset the 3% price decline, in line with expectations.
  • FHN Q3 margins were strong at 19%, down from the year-ago quarter due primarily to customer mix.
  • IS margins improved 628 basis points versus Q3 2016 primarily due to lower input costs.
  • Other sales were down due to strong commodity fertilizer sales in the prior-year period. The tolling arrangement has resulted in margins ranging from 8-12% in 2017, avoiding margin volatility seen in prior years.

    Note: See Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to EBITDA in the financial tables that follow

 

  • FHN YTD sales were down due to unfavorable mix which had an adverse effect on average selling prices.
  • IS YTD sales were primarily affected by H2 2016 pruning actions, resulting in improved adjusted EBITDA margin.
  • Other sales were down versus prior year, but benefitted at the adjusted EBITDA margin level from the new tolling arrangement.

Full Year 2017 Outlook

The Company increased its full year 2017 sales guidance, and maintained its adjusted EBITDA. Both are forecasted to be broadly in line with prior year.

2017 guidance reflects the contributions from Novel Ingredients in both Q3 and Q4 with estimated sales of $35 million.

Q4 is expected to reflect typical seasonality with lower sequential sales and unfavorable mix.

Demand impact from the recent natural disasters is expected to carry into Q4 and forecasted to have an unfavorable $3 million effect on sales for the full year.

An estimated $3 million of Phase 2 Operational Excellence savings will take effect in 2017, $2 million of which will be recorded in Q4. Near term logistics savings are being impacted by lack of trucking equipment availability following recent hurricanes.

The Company is planning a manufacturing stoppage in Q4 as a first step in a broader plant maintenance and supply chain optimization program that will be phased throughout 2018, demonstrating our continued commitment to our phosphates product portfolio. This stoppage will impact earnings adversely by approximately $4 million due to maintenance expense, lower fixed costs absorption and higher cost of externally sourced material.

Q4 2017 is forecasted to show double-digit sales and adjusted EBITDA growth versus prior year.

    Price / Volume
    --------------


    The Company calculates pure selling price dollar variances as the selling price for the current year to date period minus the selling price for the prior year to date period, and then multiplies the resulting selling price difference by the prior
     year to date period volume. The current quarter selling price dollar variance is derived from the current quarter year to date selling price dollar variance less the previous quarter year to date selling price dollar variance. The selling price
     dollar variance is then divided by the prior period sales dollars to calculate the percentage change. Volume variance is calculated as the total sales variance minus the selling price variance and refers to the revenue effect of changes in tons sold
     at the relative prices applicable to the variation in tons, otherwise known as volume/mix.


    The following table illustrates the percentage changes in net sales by reportable segments compared with the same period of the prior year, including the effect of selling price and volume/mix changes upon revenue:

Innophos is not able to provide a reconciliation of its 2022 expectation for Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income due to the number of variables in the projected EBITDA margin for 2022 and because we are currently unable to quantify accurately certain amounts that would be required to be included in GAAP net income or the individual adjustments for such reconciliation. In addition, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
