Grace Reports First Quarter 2014 Adjusted EPS of $0.77
| • | Sales increased 5 percent to $745 million due to acquisitions and higher sales volumes |
| • | Adjusted EBIT of $111 million included adverse weather impact of $9 million and acquisition-related costs of $7 million |
| • | Approximately $60 million spent on share repurchases in the quarter |
Columbia, MD - April 23, 2014 - W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA) announced first quarter net income of $50.1 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. Net income for the prior-year quarter was $59.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share. Adjusted EPS was $0.77 per diluted share compared with $0.91 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter.
“All three businesses grew sales in the quarter,” said Fred Festa, Grace's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Catalysts Technologies grew with new products and the polypropylene acquisition, which more than offset lower demand in Europe. Materials Technologies grew with strong demand in engineered materials, and Construction Products experienced strong growth, except in North America where severe weather reduced construction activity in the quarter.”
First Quarter Results
First quarter sales of $744.5 million increased 4.9 percent compared with the prior-year quarter as increased sales volumes (+7.0 percent) and improved base pricing (+0.4 percent) offset unfavorable currency translation (-1.5 percent) and lower rare earth surcharges (-1.0 percent). Acquisitions contributed 4.2 percent to sales volume growth.
Segment Gross Margin of 36.3 percent declined 90 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher operating costs resulting from the impact of extreme cold weather on the company’s large manufacturing facility at Curtis Bay, MD. The Curtis Bay facility, which produces both refinery catalysts and silica-based engineered materials, was closed intermittently for 13 days in the first quarter due to the weather conditions.
Adjusted EBIT of $111.3 million decreased 4.7 percent compared with $116.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease primarily was due to weather-related operating costs, higher raw material costs and unfavorable currency translation, which offset higher sales volumes. The company estimates extreme weather conditions in North America lowered earnings by approximately $9 million in the quarter largely due to higher operating costs at the Curtis Bay facility and lost Construction Products sales. The UNIPOL® Polypropylene Process Technology Licensing and Catalysts Business acquired in December 2013 contributed approximately $3 million to Adjusted EBIT after acquisition-related costs of approximately $7 million. Adjusted EBIT margin of 14.9 percent decreased 160 basis points from the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital was 27.2 percent on a trailing four-quarter basis compared with 27.4 percent at year-end 2013.

Grace Catalysts Technologies
Sales up 6.8 percent; segment operating income down 7.8 percent
First quarter sales for the Catalysts Technologies operating segment, which includes refinery catalysts, specialty catalysts, polypropylene licensing and additives for refinery, plastics and other chemical process applications, were $284.5 million, an increase of 6.8 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. The increase primarily was due to higher sales volumes (+9.7 percent) and favorable currency translation (+1.0 percent), which offset lower pricing (-3.9 percent) including lower rare earth surcharges of $7 million. The December 2013 polypropylene acquisition contributed approximately $28 million to sales.
Sales of refinery catalysts, which represented 69 percent of segment sales, declined 2.7 percent compared with the prior-year quarter as lower prices reflecting the elimination of the rare earth surcharge more than offset higher sales volumes and favorable currency translation.
Sales of specialty catalysts, licensing and supports increased 36.9 percent due to the polypropylene acquisition. Excluding the acquisition, lower sales volumes offset improved pricing and favorable currency translation. The decrease in base sales volumes primarily was due to the scheduled conclusion of a multi-year toll manufacturing contract for a polyolefin catalyst customer in the second quarter of 2013.
Segment gross margin was 39.0 percent compared with 40.3 percent in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in gross margin primarily was due to lower pricing and the weather-related operating costs.
Segment operating income was $71.2 million compared with $77.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease primarily was due to lower gross margin, lower ART joint venture earnings and higher depreciation and amortization from the polypropylene acquisition.
Grace Materials Technologies
Sales up 2.3 percent; segment operating income up 2.7 percent
First quarter sales for the Materials Technologies operating segment, which includes engineered materials for consumer, industrial, coatings and pharmaceutical applications and packaging technologies, were $219.8 million, an increase of 2.3 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to higher sales volumes (+2.4 percent) and improved pricing (+1.1 percent), which offset unfavorable currency translation (-1.2 percent).
Sales of engineered materials, which represented 58 percent of segment sales, increased 6.9 percent due to higher sales volumes, improved pricing and favorable currency translation. Sales in advanced regions increased 9.5 percent led by growth of approximately 12 percent in Western Europe. Sales of engineered materials in emerging regions increased 1.5 percent as higher sales in China and India offset weakness in Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Sales of packaging technologies declined 3.5 percent due to unfavorable currency translation and lower sales volumes which offset improved pricing. Sales in emerging regions, which represented approximately 52 percent of sales, declined 4.1 percent primarily due to lower sales in Asia and Latin America.
Segment gross margin was 34.9 percent, a decrease of 20 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter. The decrease in gross margin was due to unfavorable currency translation and weather-related operating costs, which offset improved pricing.
Page 2 of 13 www.grace.com | Enriching Lives, Everywhere.® |
Segment operating income was $45.5 million compared with $44.3 million in the prior-year quarter, a 2.7 percent increase primarily due to higher sales volumes and improved operating leverage. Segment operating margin was 20.7 percent, an increase of 10 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter.
Grace Construction Products
Sales up 5.1 percent; segment operating income up 11.4 percent
First quarter sales for the Construction Products operating segment, which includes Specialty Construction Chemicals (SCC) products and Specialty Building Materials (SBM) products used in commercial, infrastructure and residential construction, were $240.2 million compared with $228.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The sales increase was due to higher sales volumes (+8.0 percent) and improved pricing (+1.7 percent), which offset unfavorable currency translation (-4.6 percent). The company estimates that the cold-weather impact on construction activity in North America lowered sales by at least $4 million in the quarter.
Sales of specialty construction chemicals, which represented approximately 61 percent of segment sales in the quarter, increased 4.9 percent compared with the prior-year quarter due to 13.4 percent growth in Western Europe and 8.9 percent growth in emerging regions that more than offset a 3.2 percent sales decline in North America. The growth in Western Europe partly was attributable to favorable weather while the North American decline primarily was due to the extreme cold weather in that region.
Sales of specialty building materials increased 5.4 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. Sales in Western Europe increased 17.1 percent, while North American and emerging region sales declined 4.0 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively.
Segment gross margin of 34.4 percent decreased 110 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter. The decrease in gross margin primarily was due to higher raw material and manufacturing costs and unfavorable currency translation, which more than offset improved pricing.
Segment operating income was $25.4 million compared with $22.8 million for the prior-year quarter, an 11.4 percent increase, primarily due to higher sales and lower operating expenses, which more than offset lower gross margin and unfavorable currency translation. Segment operating margin improved to 10.6 percent compared with 10.0 percent in the prior-year quarter.
Other Expenses
Total corporate expenses were $22.5 million for the first quarter, an increase of $1.7 million compared with the prior-year quarter.
Certain pension costs of $8.3 million increased $1.6 million compared with the prior-year quarter largely due to higher interest costs. Certain pension costs include only ongoing costs recognized quarterly, which include service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets and amortization of prior service costs/credits.
Interest expense and related financing costs were $11.2 million for the first quarter compared with $10.5 million for the prior-year quarter. Non-cash interest accretion on deferred payment obligations was $8.2 million for the first quarter. The weighted average cash interest rate for the first quarter was 3.3 percent.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were recorded at a global effective tax rate of approximately 35 percent before considering the effects of certain non-deductible Chapter 11 expenses, changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete adjustments.
Grace generally has not had to pay U.S. Federal income taxes in cash in recent years since available tax deductions and credits have fully offset U.S. taxable income. Income taxes in foreign jurisdictions are
Page 3 of 13 www.grace.com | Enriching Lives, Everywhere.® |
generally paid in cash. Income taxes paid in cash, net of refunds and settlements, were $16.1 million during the first quarter. Grace generated approximately $670 million in U.S. Federal net operating losses upon emergence from bankruptcy on February 3, 2014.
Cash Flow
Net cash used for operating activities in the first quarter was $1.25 billion compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $50.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year change in cash flow largely was due to the payment of $1.31 billion as a result of the company’s emergence from Chapter 11.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $64.5 million for the first quarter compared with $66.4 million in the prior-year period.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 4, 2014, Grace announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $500 million expected to be completed over the next 12 to 24 months at the discretion of management. The company initiated purchases on February 10 through an SEC Rule 10b5-1 program. Grace spent $60.5 million repurchasing approximately 600 thousand shares in the first quarter.
Chapter 11 Emergence
On February 3, 2014, Grace emerged from Chapter 11 pursuant to the terms of its Joint Plan of Reorganization. The Joint Plan sets forth how all pre-petition claims and demands against Grace were resolved. See Grace’s most recent periodic reports filed with the SEC for a detailed description of the Joint Plan.

Notes to the Financial Information
(A): In the above charts, Grace presents its results of operations by operating segment and for adjusted operations. Adjusted EBIT means net income adjusted for interest income and expense, income taxes, costs related to Chapter 11, asbestos-related costs, restructuring expenses and related asset impairments, pension costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits, certain income and expense items related to divested businesses, product lines, and certain other investments and gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines, and certain other investments. In the 2013 first quarter, we also adjusted for the currency transaction loss incurred on our Venezuelan cash balances of $6.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA means Adjusted EBIT adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Grace uses Adjusted EBIT as a performance measure in significant business decisions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow means net cash provided by or used for operating activities minus capital expenditures plus the net cash flow from costs related to Chapter 11, cash paid to resolve contingencies subject to Chapter 11, accelerated payments under defined benefit pension arrangements, and expenditures for asbestos-related items. Grace uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure to evaluate its ability to generate cash to support its ongoing business operations, to invest in its businesses, and to provide a return of capital to shareholders. Adjusted EPS means Diluted EPS adjusted for costs related to Chapter 11, asbestos-related costs, restructuring expenses and related asset impairments, pension costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits, certain income and expense items related to divested businesses, product lines, and certain other investments and gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines, and certain other investments, and certain discrete tax items. Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital means Adjusted EBIT divided by the sum of net working capital, properties and equipment and certain other assets and liabilities. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital do not purport to represent income measures as defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to such measures as an indicator of Grace's performance. These measures are provided to distinguish the operating results of Grace's current business base from the costs of Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings, asbestos liabilities, restructuring activities, and divested businesses.
(B): Grace's segment operating income includes only Grace's share of income from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
(C): Certain pension costs include only ongoing costs recognized quarterly, which include service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits. Catalysts Technologies, Materials Technologies, and Construction Products segment operating income and corporate costs do not include any amounts for pension expense. Other pension related costs including annual mark-to-market adjustments and actuarial gains and losses are excluded from Adjusted EBIT. These amounts are not used by management to evaluate the performance of Grace's businesses and significantly affect the peer-to-peer and period-to-period comparability of our financial results. Mark-to-market adjustments and actuarial gains and losses relate primarily to changes in financial market values and actuarial assumptions and are not directly related to the operation of Grace's businesses.
(D): During the bankruptcy, Grace had significant intercompany loans between its non-U.S. subsidiaries and its U.S. debtor subsidiaries that were not related to its operating activities. In addition, Grace had accumulated significant cash during bankruptcy. Accordingly, income and expense items related to the intercompany loans and the cash balances are categorized as costs related to Chapter 11. These intercompany loans were paid in full when Grace emerged from bankruptcy, and the excess cash balances were used to fund a significant portion of Grace's emergence from bankruptcy.
(E): Other expense, net includes amounts previously reported as restructuring expenses and related asset impairments and provision for environmental remediation.
