Exhibit 99.1
MATERION CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio - February 18, 2016 - Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2015 financial results.
| |
▪ | Fourth quarter 2015 GAAP earnings were $0.33 per share, diluted. Adjusted fourth quarter earnings were $0.36 per share, diluted, in line with Company expectations. |
| |
▪ | Full-year 2015 earnings were $1.58 per share, diluted. Adjusted earnings for 2015 were $1.60 per share, diluted, as compared to adjusted earnings per share of $1.67 in 2014. |
| |
▪ | Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $214.0 million. Value-added sales were $143.4 million, 14% below fourth quarter 2014 value-added sales. |
| |
▪ | Net sales for the full-year 2015 were $1.0 billion. Value-added sales were $617.2 million, 3% below 2014 value-added sales of $637.1 million. |
| |
▪ | Value-added sales in 2015 from new products totaled $71.9 million, a 13% increase over the prior-year new product sales. |
FOURTH QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $214.0 million, compared to net sales of $288.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Value-added sales were $143.4 million, 14% below value-added sales of $167.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.
The year-over-year decrease in value-added sales in the fourth quarter of 2015 is due primarily to weaker demand from customers tied to oil and gas exploration and weaker demand from Asian markets. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted value-added sales by 1% compared to fourth quarter 2014. Partially offsetting these headwinds was sales growth in the defense market both year over year and sequentially.
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $8.1 million. Adjusted operating profit, which excludes non-recurring legacy environmental and other expenses, totaled $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, 38% below the prior-year fourth quarter adjusted operating profit of $14.4 million. The decreased profits resulted primarily from lower sales levels and unfavorable exchange rate impacts, which were only partially offset by foreign currency hedge gains and reduced performance-based compensation expense.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $6.7 million, or $0.33 per share, diluted. This compares to net income of $12.3 million, or $0.60 per share, diluted, for the fourth quarter of the prior year. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 were in line with Company expectations of $0.36 per share compared to $0.51 per share for the fourth quarter of 2014.
FULL-YEAR 2015 RESULTS
Net sales for the full-year 2015 were $1.0 billion compared to net sales of $1.1 billion for 2014. Value-added sales for 2015 were $617.2 million, as compared to $637.1 million for 2014. The 3% decrease in value-added sales was driven by a $23.2 million reduction of sales into the oil and gas market and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which reduced value-added sales by $9.6 million compared to 2014 levels. Excluding these two headwinds, value-added sales grew 2% over the prior year, driven partially by growth in value-added sales from new products that totaled $71.9 million or 13% above prior-year new product value-added sales levels.
Adjusted operating profit for 2015 of $45.8 million was down 7% as compared to 2014 adjusted operating profit of $49.1 million. The decrease in operating profit was primarily driven by the 4% decrease in volume plus unfavorable impacts from exchange rates. Net income for the full-year 2015 was $32.2 million or $1.58 per share, diluted. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted earnings were $32.7 million or $1.60 per diluted share as compared to $34.7 million or $1.67 per diluted share for 2014.
BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet continued to strengthen with total debt at December 31, 2015 of $13.6 million, representing a reduction of $10.7 million from the prior year and ending with a net cash balance of $10.6 million. The Company generated $90.2 million in operating cash flow during 2015 and has significant available liquidity to support growth initiatives. Management’s focus on cash flow and working capital contributed to record levels of cash flow from operations, the highest level seen in the past twenty years. On December 18, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to its $375.0 million revolving credit agreement that, among other things, extends the maturity date of the credit agreement from June 20, 2018 to December 18, 2020.
CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS
Richard J. Hipple, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “2015 started strong, then in the second half, demand from customers in the oil and gas market and the broader Asian market dropped dramatically. I am proud of how our team responded to the adverse market conditions. Our successful execution in driving organic growth from our new product portfolio successfully offset a significant portion of the end-market and foreign exchange headwinds faced in 2015. Our new products delivered double-digit growth for the second consecutive year, and our pipeline of new products remains strong as we head into 2016. Additionally, aggressive actions taken on cost reductions were critical to achieving the results. I would also like to highlight that as we battled through the effects of the second half 2015 global manufacturing downturn we delivered much stronger results than in prior years when similar economic slowdowns occurred.”
BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING
Performance Alloys and Composites
Net sales for Performance Alloys and Composites in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $90.3 million compared to net sales of $112.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Value-added sales were $78.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, down 17% compared to $93.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decline in value-added sales was due to a combination of
factors, including weaker demand across a majority of key end markets, particularly oil and gas exploration and nuclear medical, the slowdown in Asia, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. The decline was offset in part by a significant increase in demand for defense product applications, which were up $6.4 million over the fourth quarter of 2014.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2.9 million compared to prior-year fourth quarter operating profit of $9.9 million. The decline in operating profit was a result of a 22% decline in volume, unfavorable product mix, and the negative impact from exchange rate differences (net of foreign exchange hedge gains), offset partially by reduced performance-based compensation expense.
Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials’ net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $87.4 million, compared to fourth quarter of 2014 net sales of $135.3 million. Value-added sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $39.8 million, as compared to $48.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The 18% decline in the fourth quarter value-added sales compared to the same period last year was driven primarily from the weakness in Asia, and customers serving the consumer electronics and telecommunications infrastructure end markets. This weakness was offset in part by strength from the medical and defense end markets.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $4.5 million, down 38% compared to operating profit of $7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decline in operating profit is a result of lower sales volume and unfavorable product mix.
Other
The Other segment includes the operating results of the Precision Coatings group and unallocated corporate costs.
Within the Other segment, Precision Coatings’ net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $36.4 million, which compares to net sales of $39.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Value-added sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $26.4 million, compared to value-added sales of $26.5 million for the same period of 2014. Similar to the second and third quarter 2015 results, the year-over-year decline was driven by weaker demand in consumer electronics, particularly the Asia projector display market, offset by an 8% growth in medical end-market sales, the group’s largest end market.
Precision Coatings’ operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $3.0 million, up 20% over the $2.5 million of operating profit recognized in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted operating profit as a percent of value-added sales was 12%, up over 200 basis points above the same period last year. The improved profitability on lower sales volume is a result of improved product mix and lower operating costs.
OUTLOOK
The impact of the economic slowdown is most pronounced in our Performance Alloy and Composites segment, which houses both our end-market exposure to the oil and gas market and contains the majority of our foreign exchange exposure. In 2015, we were successful in offsetting a large portion of these headwinds with foreign exchange contract hedge gains
totaling $6.2 million or approximately $0.20 per share.
While the favorable offsets of foreign exchange hedge gains realized in 2015 will not repeat in 2016, the Company forecasts business levels to pick up moving into the second and third quarters of 2016 as some of our new product sales and the long lead time orders in our Performance Alloys and Composites segment are expected to contribute to sequential improvements in profitability. The defense and medical end markets remain strong, and the Asia telecommunications end market demand has improved. However, the oil and gas market has shown no signs of recovery, nor is it clear that it has bottomed. Given these market conditions and our strategic growth platforms, Materion forecasts full-year 2016 earnings to be in the range of $1.30 - $1.55 per share, diluted.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and copper is passed through to customers and therefore the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs and their costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.
The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.
Operating loss for Corporate for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 was reduced by $0.5 million and $0.6 million respectively, to correct an error in stock compensation expense.
