Fort Lauderdale, Florida (May 17, 2018) - KEMET Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components, today reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, net sales were $1.2 billion, up 58.3% compared to $757.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Net sales of $318.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased 3.8% from net sales of $306.4 million for the prior quarter ended December 31, 2017, and increased 61.0% compared to net sales of $197.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

“We finished the fiscal year strong in the March quarter with mix, shipments, and orders staying on pace, and even exceeding the prior quarter in all aspects. We continue to believe that this is a trend and not a bubble with the demand for our products remaining robust and our sales into the distribution channel balanced with distributor inventories,” stated Per Loof, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Looking out to our next fiscal year that began April 1, we believe that we will see another strong year of market demand and performance by the Company with sales growing year over year as additional capacity comes on line over the course of the fiscal year,” continued Loof.

U.S. GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $254.5 million, or $4.34 per diluted share compared to net income of $48.0 million, or $0.87 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. U.S. GAAP net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $2.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, which included a $6.3 million unfavorable purchase accounting adjustment related to the TOKIN acquisition, compared to net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 of $52.9 million or $0.93 per diluted share.

For fiscal year 2018, our results include our 34% share of TOKIN's financial results for the period from April 1, 2017 to April 19, 2017 and all of TOKIN's financial results from April 20, 2017 to March 31, 2018. For fiscal year 2017, our results only included our 34% equity investment in TOKIN.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted net income was $102.7 million, or $1.75 per diluted share compared to non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted net income of $23.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $26.4 million or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to a non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted net income of $7.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Net income (loss) for the fiscal quarters and years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 include various items affecting comparability as denoted in the U.S. GAAP to Non-U.S. GAAP reconciliation tables included hereafter.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including "Adjusted gross margin", "Adjusted operating income (loss)", “Adjusted net income (loss)”, “Adjusted net income (loss) per share” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. Management believes that investors may find it useful to review the Company’s financial results as adjusted to exclude items as determined by management as further described below.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin represents net sales less cost of sales excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below. Management uses Adjusted gross margin to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below which might otherwise

make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations.

The Company believes that Adjusted gross margin is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted gross margin should not be considered as an alternative to gross margin or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation from U.S. GAAP gross margin to Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted gross margin (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)

Adjusted operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss), excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below. We use Adjusted operating income (loss) to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that Adjusted operating income (loss) is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand our underlying operating performance and allows investors to monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. Adjusted operating income (loss) should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated as follows (amounts in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

“Adjusted net income (loss)” and “Adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share” represent net income (loss) and net income (loss) per basic and diluted share excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below. The Company believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and allows investors to monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. Management uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

⁽²⁾ Used to calculate adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted to exclude certain items which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided herein. We use Adjusted EBITDA to monitor and evaluate our operating performance and to facilitate internal and external comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance and ability to service debt. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe such measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges. The other adjustments to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect our continuing operations.

In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments noted below. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these types of adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Our Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:


•	it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	it does not reflect any income tax expense or benefit, including any potential changes to income taxes resulting from The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017;


•	it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;


•	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our Adjusted EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


•	it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;


•	it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;


•	it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and


•	other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA as supplementary information.
