| PRESS RELEASE |
OM GROUP REPORTS INCREASE IN NET SALES DURING SECOND QUARTER OF 2011
- Growth driven by product demand across various end markets -
- Cash flow from operations remains strong -
- Outlook “even brighter” given recent acquisition of Vacuumschmelze -
CLEVELAND – August 4, 2011 – OM Group, Inc. (NYSE: OMG) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Net sales in the second quarter were $329.5 million, a 9 percent increase compared with the second quarter of 2010. Volume growth in all three operating segments more than offset the negative impact of unfavorable price and mix. Net income was $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared with $12.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, during the year-ago period.
“We continued to enjoy strong demand in the second quarter across various end markets, particularly within Advanced Materials and Battery Technologies,” said Joseph Scaminace, chairman and chief executive officer. “Furthermore, we continued to generate significant cash flow from operations during the quarter despite lower operating profit due to costs related to our acquisition of Vacuumschmelze and unfavorable pricing and mix.”
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2011 improved 8 percent, but was essentially flat as a percent of sales because the benefit from higher volumes was offset by unfavorable pricing and mix. SG&A for the second quarter of 2011 increased $7.8 million, to 13.8 percent of sales, due to an increase in sales activity, higher employee compensation and benefit costs, and acquisition-related fees. Operating profit declined to $28.0 million (8.5 percent of sales) in the second quarter of 2011 from $30.3 million (10.0 percent of sales) last year.
Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2011 was $0.3 million and includes a discrete tax benefit of $2.0 million. Excluding discrete items, the effective income tax rates would have been 9.0 percent and 32.5 percent in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2011 is lower than 2010, excluding discrete items, due primarily to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements and the benefits of tax efficient financing. The second quarter of 2010 income tax includes discrete tax expense items totaling $10.4 million (company portion excluding noncontrolling interest is $5.3 million).
Net cash provided by operating activities was $51.0 million, contributing to a cash balance of $451.7 million. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the company’s cash balance decreased by $137 million to partially fund the previously announced acquisition of Vacuumschmelze GmbH & Co. KG (VAC), which closed on August 2, 2011. Additionally, as a result of the acquisition, outstanding debt increased from $120 million reported at the end of the second quarter to $700 million as of August 2, 2011.
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS (all comparisons with the second quarter of 2010)
Advanced Materials
| • | Net sales were $165.2 million, up 10 percent |
| • | Product sales volumes rose 20 percent, with strong, double-digit growth in all end markets; other volume increased 34 percent due to higher copper contained in the mix of raw material feed |
| • | Operating profit was $16.9 million (10.2 percent of sales), down slightly as higher volumes and increased contribution from by-product sales were offset by a rise in operating expenses and unfavorable foreign exchange impact |
Specialty Chemicals
| • | Net sales were $128.7 million, up 3 percent |
| • | Demand was mixed in electronic technologies as semiconductor volumes improved but printed circuit board and memory disk softened primarily due to Japan supply effects; Advanced Organics volumes fell due to the closure of the Manchester, England facility |
| • | Operating profit was $17.9 million (13.9 percent of sales), down $2.3 million due primarily to unfavorable pricing and mix |
Battery Technologies
| • | Net sales were $35.8 million, up 26 percent |
| • | Revenue improved in all end markets on increases in demand and customer deliveries |
| • | Operating profit was $6.7 million (18.7 percent of sales), significantly higher than last year’s $0.4 million, due to volume growth, purchase accounting adjustments in 2010 that did not recur in 2011, and contribution from recycled material sales |
OUTLOOK
“With the completion of our annual maintenance shutdown in Kokkola, Finland, and the resolution of supply challenges from the devastating events in Japan earlier this year, we expect demand to grow sequentially from second-quarter levels for the balance of the year,” said Scaminace. “The secular macro trends of investment in clean, affordable energy, proliferation of portable power, evolution of electronic devices, and need for sustainable products and processes, will continue to drive growth for our portfolio of businesses.”
Scaminace stated that in addition to the many organic growth opportunities, the company will benefit from the VAC acquisition in the second half of 2011. VAC is expected to add $250 million to $300 million in revenue during 2011, with earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins in the range of 17 percent to 20 percent, excluding one-time items. “With the addition of VAC, our outlook is even brighter as we have delivered on several key strategic objectives such as diversifying into adjacent, high-growth markets and reducing the effect volatile metal prices have on our bottom line,” he said. “I am confident that we have properly positioned OMG to create long-term shareholder value.”
For purposes of this release, discussions related to income from continuing operations or net income pertain to amounts attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company is including certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. and Earnings per common share - assuming dilution, both as adjusted for special items. “Income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. - as adjusted for special items” is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company’s management uses as an important metric in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business. The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP results, as reported (both net income attributable to OM Group, Inc. and income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc.), to its non-GAAP results after adjusting for the special items shown. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented in the table above facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance and will enhance investors’ understanding of the performance of the Company’s operations during 2011 and of the comparability of the 2011 results to the results of the relevant prior period. Such non-GAAP financial measures are unique to the Company and may not be employed by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information set forth in the table above should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
