Clearwater Paper Reports First Quarter 2019 Results
SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2019--Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2019.
The company reported net sales of $428.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, which were $8.2 million or 1.9% lower than net sales of $437.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease was due to lower paperboard and tissue shipments including the impact from the sale of the company's mill in Ladysmith, Wisconsin in August 2018, partially offset by higher tissue and paperboard pricing.
Net earnings determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the first quarter of 2019 were $3.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the first quarter of 2018 of $2.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The increase in net earnings was mainly due to improved operating results in paperboard driven by higher pricing and the absence of reorganization expenses associated with selling, general and administrative cost reduction efforts in 2018, offset by a tax provision in the first quarter of 2019 versus a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2018. Excluding certain non-core items identified in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, first quarter 2019 adjusted net earnings were $3.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2018 adjusted net earnings of $5.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, were $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $35.4 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $39.8 million, down 3.0% compared to first quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $41.1 million. In 2018, the company adopted a new accounting standard which requires all net periodic pension and postretirement costs (other than service cost) to be presented on a line outside of operating income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the company is excluding these non-operating costs from its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The corresponding Adjusted EBITDA amount for the 2018 period has been reclassified to conform to this presentation.
“The Adjusted EBITDA of $39.8 million achieved in the first quarter of 2019 included approximately $3 million of additional professional fees associated largely with the assessment of material weaknesses and our evaluation of goodwill impairment, both of which were previously reported in the fourth quarter of 2018. It also included an approximate $4 million impact from significantly higher utility costs associated with an unusual gas pipeline disruption that occurred during the first quarter of 2019,” said Linda K. Massman, president and chief executive officer. “Excluding those items, our Adjusted EBITDA would have compared favorably to Adjusted EBITDA achieved in the first quarter of 2018 and would have been comparable to Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018. For the remainder of 2019, we will be focused on ramping tissue production at our Shelby, North Carolina mill to meet the growing demand for ultra-quality tissue and reducing costs throughout our facilities to generate stronger cash flow and improved returns on invested capital.”
FIRST QUARTER 2019 SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
Consumer Products
Net sales in the Consumer Products segment were $223.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, down 6.5% compared to first quarter 2018 net sales of $238.8 million. This decrease was due to lower volumes sold, including the impact from the divestiture of the Ladysmith, Wisconsin mill in August 2018, partially offset by higher average prices for both retail and non-retail tissue products and a favorable mix shift to ultra-quality products.
Segment operating income and margin for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.3 million and 0.6%, compared to operating income and margin of $1.6 million and 0.7%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2018. After adjusting for certain non-core items identified in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, adjusted operating income and margin were $1.3 million and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $3.1 million and 1.3% of adjusted operating income and margin, respectively, for the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, down from $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decreases were primarily due to lower shipment volumes, including the impact from the divestiture of the Ladysmith mill, unfavorable absorption of fixed costs over lower shipment volumes, and higher pulp costs, which were partially offset by lower costs for transportation and warehousing.
Tissue Sales Volumes and Prices:
• Total tissue volumes sold were 83,622 tons in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 8,585 tons or 9.3% compared to 92,207 tons in the first quarter of 2018. Converted product cases shipped were 12.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, 7.1% lower than the 13.3 million cases shipped in the first quarter of 2018.
• Average tissue net selling prices increased 3.9% to $2,667 per ton in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $2,568 per ton in the first quarter of 2018.
Pulp and Paperboard
Net sales in the Pulp and Paperboard segment were $205.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, up 3.7% compared to first quarter 2018 net sales of $198.1 million. The increase was due to higher paperboard prices, partially offset by lower sales volume.
Segment operating income and margin for the first quarter of 2019 were $29.4 million and 14.3%, compared to $26.2 million and 13.2%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $35.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices for paperboard, which were partially offset by higher wood fiber costs due to weather conditions and higher natural gas prices at both the Idaho and Arkansas mills.
Paperboard Sales Volumes and Prices:
• Paperboard sales volumes were 202,834 tons in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 1.7% compared to 206,309 tons in the first quarter of 2018.
• Paperboard net selling prices increased 4.3% to $1,001 per ton for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $960 per ton in the first quarter of 2018.
Taxes
The company's consolidated GAAP tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was a provision of 15.9%, compared to a benefit of 16.1% in the first quarter of 2018. On a GAAP basis, the net change to our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the combined statutory federal and blended state tax rate of approximately 25%, was primarily the net result of a number of adjustments including a benefit from federal tax credits.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, including adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net earnings, net earnings per diluted share and operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company presents these non-GAAP amounts because management believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, the company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and (iii) because our credit agreement and the indentures governing our outstanding notes use metrics similar to EBITDA to measure our compliance with certain covenants.

| 1 | | EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the cash generating capacity of the company. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBITDA is net earnings adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. It should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP. |

| Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the items listed that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. |

| In 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires all net periodic pension and postretirement costs other than service cost to be presented on a line outside of operating income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company is excluding these non-operating costs from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The corresponding prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. |
