Greif Reports First Quarter 2015 Results
The company reaffirms fiscal year 2015 guidance
DELAWARE, Ohio (March 4, 2015) – Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today reported first quarter 2015 net income attributable to the corporation totaling $30.1 million or $0.52 per diluted Class A share on sales of $902.3 million compared with net income of $30.7 million or $0.53 per diluted Class A share on sales of $1,001.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. After adjusting for the effect of dispositions, facility closures and currency fluctuations, sales for the quarter were flat compared to the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of special items1, earnings were $0.30 per diluted Class A share compared to $0.46 per diluted Class A share for the first quarter of 2014.
David B. Fischer, president and chief executive officer, stated, “Net sales for the first quarter of 2015 excluding divestitures and foreign currency translation were similar to the same period last year. Our results were also adversely impacted by product and geographic mix issues resulting in lower gross profit, a higher effective tax rate and lower results in the Flexible Packaging business compared to a year ago. We are aggressively executing transformation initiatives through portfolio optimization and specific opportunities in individual work streams. During the past few quarters we have taken actions to sell non-core businesses and continue to address operations that no longer fit our business portfolio. Since the beginning of the first quarter 2015, we have announced the closing of four plants located primarily in North America, APAC and Europe and divested three businesses. We expect the benefits of these actions to make positive contributions to our results beginning in the second half of this year.”
Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services
Net sales decreased 8.8 percent to $649.7 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $712.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures and facility closures2, net sales decreased 6.4 percent to $648.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $692.9 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in net sales was attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Volumes were flat overall compared to the first quarter of 2014, with increases in North America and Europe offset by a decrease in Latin America.
Operating profit was $20.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $29.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. Operating profit excluding special items and the impact of divestitures and facility closures was $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 versus $34.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation, higher health care and pension costs and lower gross margins in Europe and North America due to product mix.
Paper Packaging
Net sales decreased 6.2 percent to $159.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $169.8 million for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures and facility closures, net sales decreased 3.5 percent to $159.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $165.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower volumes, primarily due to one less shipping day and softness in demand for containerboard toward the end of the quarter.
| 1 | A summary of all special items that are included in the price per diluted Class A share before special items and operating profit before special items is set forth in the Selected Financial Highlights table following the Company Outlook in this release |
| 2 | A summary of all adjustments related to the divestitures and facility closures that are excluded from net sales, gross profit and operating profit is set forth in the Selected Financial Highlights table following the Company Outlook in this release |
Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release.
Operating profit was $28.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $30.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. Operating profit before special items and excluding the impact of divestitures and facility closures was $28.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $29.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to lower volumes for containerboard.
Flexible Products & Services
Net sales decreased 22.2 percent to $88.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $113.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures and facility closures, net sales decreased 8.9 percent to $84.9 million compared with $93.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
Operating loss was $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 versus operating profit of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2014. Operating loss before special items and excluding the impact of divestitures and facility closures was $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 versus $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. This increase in operating loss was due to several factors. We incurred higher freight costs to meet lead time demands of customers. We incurred an inventory write down adjustment in part due to the combination of rapidly decreasing resin prices and higher inventory levels from the carryover impact of the occupation of our Hadimkoy facility as we transitioned back to full capacity. In addition, the higher costs of the move to an in-house labor force, prompted primarily by changes in the local regulatory environment, and the inefficiencies incurred as a result of this move, also contributed to the increase in the operating loss for this segment.
Land Management
Net sales decreased 14.5 percent to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to lower timber sales as planned for the first quarter of 2015.
Timberland gains were $24.3 million and $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are recorded as gains on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, net. Operating profit was $25.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. This increase was due to $24.3 million of timberland gains in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $8.4 million of timberland gains in the first quarter of 2014. Operating profit before special items was $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to the same item impacting net sales for this segment.
Dividends
On March 3, 2015, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.42 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.63 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends are payable on April 1, 2015, to stockholders of record at close of business on March 19, 2015.
Company Outlook
The company continues to anticipate the overall global economy to reflect a modest recovery in fiscal 2015, with positive aspects of the improving economy in the United States being offset by the negative trends in other regions, particularly in Europe and Latin America. We anticipate that foreign currency matters will continue to present challenges for the company, as the strengthening of the United States dollar against other currencies will continue to impact the company’s revenues and net income. In addition, an expected approximately two-week shutdown of the company’s Riverville mill during the third quarter for the installation of upgrades will negatively impact our 2015 net income. We are continuing to execute restructuring plans and facility closures and pursuing the sale of select non-core assets as part of our overall strategic transformation, which are expected to result in significant impairment and restructuring charges in the remainder of 2015. SG&A cost savings actions are being implemented throughout 2015 and beyond. Based on these factors, fiscal 2015 adjusted Class A earnings per share remains in the range of $2.25 to $2.35, excluding gains and losses on the sales of businesses, timberland and property, plant and equipment, and acquisition related costs, as well as restructuring and impairment charges.

However, because the company does not calculate net income by segment, this table calculates EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit (loss) by segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of Consolidated EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result.
