TREDEGAR REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
• | Operating profit from ongoing operations for Bonnell Aluminum of $8.3 million was $0.2 million higher than the second quarter of 2014 |
• | Operating profit from ongoing operations for Film Products of $6.2 million was $8.8 million lower than the second quarter of 2014 |
• | Board of Directors will initiate CEO search in August; interim leadership transition is proceeding smoothly |
RICHMOND, VA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2015--Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG, also the “Company” or “Tredegar”) today reported second-quarter financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.
Second-Quarter Financial Results Highlights
• | Net income from continuing operations was $0.6 million (2 cents per share) in the second quarter of 2015 compared with $3.8 million (11 cents per share) in the second quarter of 2014 |
• | Net income from ongoing operations, which excludes special items, was $3.2 million (10 cents per share) in the second quarter of 2015 compared with $11.1 million (34 cents per share) in the second quarter of 2014 |
Further details regarding the special items that reconcile net income from ongoing operations to net income from continuing operations are provided in Note A of the Notes to the Financial Tables in this press release.
John D. Gottwald, Tredegar’s interim president and chief executive officer, said: “On the positive side, I am pleased with Bonnell’s performance, and we anticipate continued growth in our key end-use markets. Unfortunately, operating profit from our Films business was well below historical norms. Our volumes in personal care have declined, and the flexible packaging films unit continues to have issues. We will continue to face challenges in these areas. In the near term we are looking at opportunities to improve performance in Films, as demonstrated by our announced plans to restructure our North American manufacturing operations to meet changing customer demands. Also, in support of growing demand, we recently announced our plan to invest in European assets to provide our customers with local supply of our elastic products.”

Second-Quarter Results vs. Prior Year Second Quarter
Net sales (sales less freight) in the second quarter of 2015 decreased by $30.7 million versus 2014 primarily due to:
• | The loss of business to Film Products’ largest customer related to certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America (approximately $8.1 million) and to the unfavorable impact of various product transitions in personal care materials (approximately $4.4 million); |
• | Lower net sales for flexible packaging films of approximately $4.0 million, or 14.7%, (despite an increase in volume of 5.5%) due to changes in product mix and competitive pricing pressures driven by continued unfavorable economic conditions in its primary market of Brazil and excess global capacity in the industry; |
• | The unfavorable impact of approximately $7.0 million from the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for polyethylene film operations outside of the U.S.; and |
• | Estimated reductions in average selling prices in polyethylene films of approximately $4.3 million primarily due to the contractual pass-through of lower average resin prices. |
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2015 decreased by $8.8 million versus 2014 primarily due to:
• | Lower volumes in polyethylene films, primarily in personal care materials from the previously referenced lost business and various product transitions for Film Products’ largest customer, which had an adverse impact of approximately $4.3 million; |
• | An increase in the operating loss from ongoing operations for flexible packaging films to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 versus $1.1 million in 2014; |
• | The estimated unfavorable impact in polyethylene films from the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs of approximately $1.6 million; and |
• | Other factors with an unfavorable impact in polyethylene films of approximately $0.9 million, which included higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to inflationary increases and the timing of certain costs as well as the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside of the U.S. |
Year-To-Date Results vs. Prior Year-To-Date
Net sales in the first six months of 2015 decreased by $46.7 million versus 2014 primarily due to:
• | The loss of business to Film Products’ largest customer related to certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America (approximately $16.2 million) and to the unfavorable impact of various product transitions in personal care materials (approximately $7.9 million); |
• | A decline in net sales for flexible packaging films of $5.3 million, or 9.5%, (despite an increase in volume of 11.0%) due to mix changes and competitive pricing pressures; |
• | The unfavorable impact of approximately $13.0 million from the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for polyethylene film operations outside of the U.S.; and |
• | Estimated reductions in average selling prices in polyethylene films of approximately $5.0 million attributable to the unfavorable impact of competitive pricing pressures and the contractual pass-through of lower average resin prices. |

Operating profit from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2015 decreased by $7.9 million versus 2014 primarily due to:
• | Lower volumes in polyethylene films, primarily in personal care materials from the previously referenced lost business and various product transitions for Film Products’ largest customer, which had an adverse impact of approximately $7.0 million; |
• | An increase in the operating loss from ongoing operations for flexible packaging films to $2.2 million in the first six months of 2015 versus $0.9 million in 2014; |
• | The unfavorable impact from the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for polyethylene film operations outside the U.S. of approximately $2.4 million; |
• | The estimated favorable impact in polyethylene films from the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs of approximately $0.6 million; and |
• | Other factors with a favorable impact in polyethylene films of approximately $2.2 million, which are primarily lower fixed costs associated with the shutdown of the manufacturing facility in Red Springs, North Carolina and other cost savings, partially offset by lower margins from pricing pressures. |
Capital expenditures in Film Products were $9.0 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $18.8 million in the first six months of 2014. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2014 included approximately $10.6 million for the project to expand capacity at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. Film Products currently estimates that total capital expenditures in 2015 will be approximately $26 million, including approximately $12 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $11.5 million in the first six months of 2015 and $14.1 million in the first six months of 2014. Depreciation expense is projected to be approximately $23 million in 2015. Amortization expense was $1.6 million in the first six months of 2015 and $1.9 million in the first six months of 2014, and is projected to be approximately $3 million in 2015.

Second-Quarter Results vs. Prior Year Second Quarter
Net sales in the second quarter of 2015 increased versus 2014 primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average selling prices. Higher sales volumes, primarily in the nonresidential building and construction and automotive markets, had a favorable impact of approximately $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in nonresidential building and construction volumes was consistent with market growth for the period. Higher average selling prices, which had a positive impact on net sales of approximately $2.1 million, can be primarily attributed to inflationary price increases and higher average aluminum costs.
Operating profit from ongoing operations increased only 3.1% despite 12.4% higher volume. Profit growth was hampered by hiring and training expenses of approximately $0.8 million for additional labor to meet production demands, which pushed average capacity utilization to approximately 90%, and construction-related expenses of $0.3 million associated with the project to expand and upgrade anodizing capacity. These factors had an adverse impact on the growth rate in profits of over 12%. Other factors impacting operating profit from ongoing
--more--
operations, which had a favorable impact of approximately $1.3 million, include higher sales volumes that were partially offset by higher operating expenses and inflationary costs increases.
Year-To-Date Results vs. Prior Year-To-Date
Net sales in the first six months of 2015 increased versus 2014 primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average selling prices. Higher sales volumes, primarily in the nonresidential building and construction and automotive markets, had a favorable impact of approximately $19.4 million in the first six months of 2015. Higher average selling prices, which had a positive impact on net sales of approximately $8.6 million, can be primarily attributed to inflationary price increases and higher average aluminum costs.
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2015, which increased versus 2014 by $0.8 million, or 6.1%, on higher volume of 10.1%, was primarily driven by the following factors:
• | The favorable impact on profits of higher sales volume of approximately $4.0 million; |
• | Higher production and hiring costs of approximately $2.5 million from significantly higher volume levels; and |
• | Construction-related expenses associated with the project to expand and upgrade anodizing capacity of approximately $0.7 million. |
Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum were $5.3 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $4.0 million in the first six months of 2014. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2015 were primarily related to the project to expand and upgrade anodizing capacity at the aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Carthage, Tennessee. Capital expenditures are projected to total approximately $10 million in 2015, which includes approximately $5 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $4.3 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $4.1 million in the first six months of 2014, and is projected to be approximately $8 million in 2015. Amortization expense was $0.5 million in the first six months of 2015 and $0.9 million in the first six months of 2014, and is projected to be approximately $1 million in 2015.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes
Pension expense was $6.1 million in the first six months of 2015, an unfavorable change of $2.2 million from the first six months of 2014. Most of the impact on earnings from higher pension expense is reflected in “Corporate expenses, net” in the Net Sales and Operating Profit by Segment table. Pension expense is projected to be approximately $12.3 million in 2015. Corporate expenses, net increased in 2015 versus 2014 primarily due to the previously noted increase in pension expense, higher stock-based employee benefit costs and corporate severance charges. In 2015, corporate expenses, net included severance and other employee-related charges of $3.9 million associated with the resignations of the Company’s former chief executive and chief financial officers in the second quarter of 2015. In 2014, corporate expenses, net included non-recurring costs of $0.9 million.
Interest expense was $1.8 million in the first six months of 2015 in comparison to $1.2 million in the first six months of 2014.
The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes for income from continuing operations was 35.2% in the first six months of 2015 compared to 35.6% in the first six months of 2014. An explanation of significant differences between the estimated effective tax rate for income from continuing operations and the U.S. federal statutory rate for 2015 and 2014 will be provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-Q”).

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Net debt (debt in excess of cash and cash equivalents) was $87.6 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $87.2 million at December 31, 2014. Net debt is a financial measure that is not calculated or presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See the Notes to the Financial Tables for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
OTHER
On June 26, 2015, Tredegar announced changes in its chief executive and chief financial officers. Prior management had disclosed and updated performance targets for volume, adjusted EBITDA and return on invested capital. Given recent performance, such targets are no longer considered appropriate guidance for future performance. Current management has no immediate plans to provide updated or new performance targets. Today, the Company filed its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2015. Please refer to the “Films Outlook” section of the “Executive Summary” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-Q for additional disclosures on the Company’s business.
FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Some of the information contained in this press release may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we use the words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “likely,” “may” and similar expressions, we do so to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our then current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. It is possible that our actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without limitation: acquired businesses, including Terphane Holdings LLC (“Terphane”) and AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”), may not achieve the levels of revenue, profit, productivity, or otherwise perform as we expect; acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Terphane and AACOA, involve special risks, including without limitation, diversion of management’s time and attention from our existing businesses, the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies and potential difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated operational improvements; Film Products is highly dependent on sales to one customer — The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) and Film Products may not be able to mitigate the impact of the expected decline in net sales to P&G on operating profit from ongoing operations; growth of Film Products depends on its ability to develop and deliver new products at competitive prices; sales volume and profitability of Aluminum Extrusions are cyclical and highly dependent on economic conditions of end-use markets in the U.S., particularly in the building and construction sector, and are also subject to seasonal slowdowns; Aluminum Extrusions efforts to expand product offerings and broaden its customer base may not be successful; our substantial international operations subject us to risks of doing business in countries outside the U.S., which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; our future performance is influenced by costs incurred by our operating companies, including, for example, the cost of energy and raw materials; and the other factors discussed in the reports Tredegar files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, including the risks and important factors set forth in additional detail in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Tredegar’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2014 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC.

Notes to the Financial Tables
(Unaudited)
(a) Tredegar’s presentation of net income and earnings per share from ongoing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the after-tax effects of gains or losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments and restructurings, gains or losses from the sale of assets and other items, goodwill impairment charges and operating results and gains or losses on sale for businesses divested that are included in discontinued operations, which have been presented separately and removed from net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share as reported under GAAP. Net income and earnings per share from ongoing operations are used by management to gauge the operating performance of Tredegar’s ongoing operations. They are not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar’s ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations as defined by GAAP. They exclude items that we believe do not relate to Tredegar’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation is shown below:

(c) | Comprehensive income (loss), defined as net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), was income of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 and income of $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a loss of $15.2 million in the first six months of 2015 and income of $25.2 million in the first six months of 2014.

The unrealized loss in 2014 can be primarily attributed to adjustments in the timing of cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones. |
(e) | Pretax charges of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the second quarter and first of six months of 2014, respectively, (none in the second quarter and first six months of 2015) related to unrealized losses for the Company’s investment in the Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. were recorded as a result of a reduction in the value of the Company’s investment that is not expected to be temporary.

Debt | $ | 135.0 | $ | 137.3 | ||||
