DYNAMIC MATERIALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
BOULDER, Colo. — April 30, 2013 — Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (Nasdaq: BOOM), today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First quarter sales were $46.3 million, down 8% from sales of $50.2 million in last year’s first quarter, and a sequential decline of 12% from $52.5 million reported in last year’s fourth quarter. Management’s prior forecasts called for a sales decline of 7% to 10% versus the first quarter last year. First quarter gross margin was 28% versus 29% in the year-ago first quarter and 31% in the fourth quarter.
As previously reported, operating results for the first quarter reflect $3.0 million of non-recurring expenses associated with recent management retirements. Consequently, DMC reported a first quarter loss from operations of $1.1 million versus income from operations of $4.1 million in last year’s first quarter and $4.5 million in the 2012 fourth quarter.
First quarter net income was $215,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, down from $2.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the year-ago first quarter, and net income of $2.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter. Net income in the 2013 first quarter reflects a tax benefit of approximately $1.2 million, including a $908,000 benefit related to recently enacted federal tax legislation that was applicable to 2012, but could not be recognized until 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter was $3.3 million versus $8.1 million in last year’s first quarter and $9.1 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure used by management to measure operating performance. See additional information about adjusted EBITDA at the end of this news release, as well as a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP measures.
Explosive Metalworking
Nobelclad, the Company’s Explosive Metalworking business, reported sales of $26.2 million, down 5% from $27.5 million in the first quarter last year. Operating income was $2.4 million versus $4.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.9 million, versus $5.5 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. The segment closed the quarter with an order backlog of $47.6 million, up from $46.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter.
Oilfield Products
Sales at DYNAenergetics, DMC’s Oilfield Products business, were $18.7 million, down 11% from $21.0 million in last year’s first quarter. Last year’s first quarter results included approximately $2.5 million associated with an annual tender order from India. DYNAenergetics expects to ship the full 2013 Indian tender order, valued at $3.2 million, during this year’s second quarter. Operating income was $1.7 million versus $2.0 million in the first quarter last year, while adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million versus $3.5 million in the 2012 first quarter.
AMK Welding
Sales at DMC’s AMK Welding segment were $1.4 million, down from $1.7 million in last year’s first quarter. The decline reflects a continued pullback in ground power sales following a key customer’s decision to discontinue production of a gas-fired turbine platform. AMK reported a loss from operations of $294,000 versus an operating loss of $87,000 in the 2012 first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $144,000 compared with adjusted EBITDA of $37,000 in last year’s first quarter.
Management Commentary
“First quarter sales came in near the high end of our forecast range, and we made important progress on many of our operational objectives during the quarter,” said Kevin Longe, president and CEO. “Our Nobelclad team recently secured two large explosion welding orders it had been pursuing during the past several quarters. The first came from the chemical industry, and relates to crystallizers and evaporating equipment that will be used in a large potash project in Saskatchewan. The order was valued at $7.4 million and was included in our March 31, 2013 backlog. The second, valued at more than $6.0 million, was received in April and involves upstream equipment for the Wheatstone natural gas project in Australia.”
“The global energy and chemical industries remain active, and we continue to track a broad range of international projects that could require Nobelclad’s technical solutions,” Longe added. “We also believe there are significant longer-range opportunities percolating in the North American refining and chemical sectors. Industry experts regularly comment on the growing need for maintenance and modernization spending in the domestic refining space; and we continue to believe Nobelclad will ultimately benefit from projects emerging from renewed investments in the U.S. chemical sector.”
Longe said DYNAenergetics’ new shaped charge plant in Blum, Texas, should be complete by the end of June, and production is expected to commence early in the third quarter. “We also have strengthened the management team at DYNAenergetics with the recent appointment of John Biggs as vice president and general manager of the Americas. John has an extensive background in the oil and gas products industry, and spent the past 10 years in leadership roles with GE Energy/Dresser, Inc. He will be responsible for heading DYNAenergetics’ operations, sales and marketing efforts in Canada, the United States and South America. John will report to Ian Grieves, who we recently appointed president and general manager of DYNAenergetics’ global operations.
“We also are working hard to strengthen the operations, financial performance and new business prospects at AMK. We recently announced the appointment of Gary Klein as president of the business, and are excited about the opportunities he is pursuing. Gary is a talented leader with broad engineering, manufacturing and operational experience. He also is very familiar with AMK’s current customers and the end markets it is targeting. We remain very confident in AMK’s future, and believe it will return to a position of growth in coming quarters.”
Guidance
Rick Santa, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said management is maintaining its prior 2013 full-year sales forecast, which anticipates an increase of 8% to 10% versus sales of $201.6 million reported in 2012. In addition, the full-year gross margin forecast is unchanged at 27% to 29%. DMC’s blended effective tax rate for the full-year is now projected to be in a range of 21% to 23% versus a prior forecast of 20% to 22%. Excluding the impact of a previously discussed first quarter tax benefit, the blended effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 is now projected to be in a range of 26% to 28%.
For the second fiscal quarter, management anticipates sales will increase by 11% to 14% versus sales of $48.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross margin is expected to be in a range of 27% to 29%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of DMC’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release.
EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature the adjusted EBITDA. Management also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC’s credit facility.
Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.
All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC’s operating performance (e.g., income taxes and gain on sale of assets). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect DMC’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.
