August 4, 2016

Highlights:

  • Strong Operating Margins
  • Specialty Minerals Segment Reports Record Operating Income
  • EcoPartnership Established in China with Sun Paper and Tsinghua University
  • Two New Commercial Agreements for Fulfill® PCC High-Filler Products
  • Standard & Poor's Upgrades Corporate Credit Rating

NEW YORK, August 4-Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) today reported second quarter diluted earnings of $1.20 per share, excluding special items. Reported earnings were $0.60 per share.
           
"The company's second quarter financial performance was solid," said chairman and chief executive officer Joseph C. Muscari. "Our operating margin increased, the minerals-based businesses remain on a strong track, and we further restructured the Energy Services segment by completing our exit from the U.S onshore service lines. In addition, our efforts to penetrate the environmental markets in China gained momentum through new government marketing initiatives there."
           
Worldwide net sales in the second quarter were $427.0 million compared with $463.4 million in the same period of 2015. Substantially all of the sales decrease was due to continued weak market conditions in the oil and gas sector and the exit from several onshore service lines within Energy Services.  These factors resulted in a $29.3 million reduction in sales.  In addition, foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $6.5 million.

Consolidated operating margin, excluding special items, improved 5 percent over last year to 16.4 percent of sales. Income from operations, excluding special items, was $69.9 million compared with $72.3 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating income was due to weak market conditions in the oil and gas sector, which resulted in a $5.3 million decrease in Energy Services operating income from last year, excluding special items. This was partially offset by improved profitability in the combined other businesses.

Consolidated income from operations for the quarter was $39.5 million or 9.3 percent of sales. The company incurred charges of $30.4 million in special items during the quarter, primarily related to restructuring costs in the Energy Services segment. The company expects to realize annualized savings from the restructuring program of $11.5 million.

The Minerals businesses, which include the Specialty Minerals, Performance Materials and Construction Technologies segments, had a strong quarter. Operating income for these segments totaled $60.9 million and represented 18.3 percent of sales compared with 18.0 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2015.

Second quarter worldwide sales for the Specialty Minerals segment, which consists of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product lines, were $150.6 million.  Income from operations for the segment increased 2 percent to a record $27.6 million, representing 18.3 percent of sales.

Worldwide sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, were $114.1 million compared with $120.9 million in the prior year. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $1.9 million or 2 percent, and the full impact in the quarter of several previously announced paper mill closures in the U.S reduced sales. This decrease was partially offset by a 17-percent increase in PCC sales in China from the ramp-up of two new facilities there since the second quarter of 2015.

"During the quarter, we signed two commercial agreements for adoption of our FulFill® high-filler technology," said Mr. Muscari. "We now have 26 agreements with paper mills around the world for this cost-saving technology. We also formed an EcoPartnership in China with the Sun Paper Group and Tsinghua University's School of Environment to pilot our innovative NewYield(TM) technology, which reduces soil and groundwater pollution by converting a waste stream from the papermaking process into useable filler for paper making. "

Second quarter sales of Processed Minerals products increased 3 percent over the prior year to $36.5 million, primarily due to a 6-percent increase in Ground Calcium Carbonate sales.  Processed Minerals products are used in the building materials, automotive, polymers, ceramics, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries.

Sales in the Performance Materials segment were $128.6 million, the same as the prior year. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $3.5 million or 3 percentage points of growth.  Sales in Household, Personal Care and Specialty Products increased 6 percent due to continuing strong Pet Care and Fabric Care sales.  Operating income was $24.0 million and represented 18.7 percent of sales as compared to 19.8 percent of sales in the prior year period.  The decrease in operating margins was due to product mix and lower U.S. export sales compared to last year. Performance Materials provides a wide range of bentonite-based and synthetic materials for industrial and consumer markets.

Second quarter sales in the Construction Technologies segment increased 3 percent to $53.9 million. Environmental Products sales increased 20 percent to $26.5 million due to higher volume in specialty geo-synthetic clay liners, including Resistex(TM) products, in the second quarter. Operating income for the segment improved 12 percent to $9.3 million and represented 17.3 percent of sales. Construction Technologies provides products for environmental remediation, non-residential construction, and infrastructure projects worldwide.

The Service-related businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services segments, had sales of $93.9 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 25 percent from the same period last year.  This decrease was due to the exit from several service lines within the Energy Services segment and continued weak market conditions in the oil and gas sector. Improved profitability in the Refractories segment partially offset further weakness in Energy Services.  

Second quarter operating income in the Refractories segment increased 23 percent to $10.3 million compared to $8.4 million for the prior year's second quarter due to improved profitability in North America, higher equipment sales and productivity gains. Operating income margins were strong for the segment at 13.9 percent of sales compared with 11.0 percent of sales last year. Second quarter sales in the Refractories segment were $73.9 million. The Refractories segment provides products and services primarily to the worldwide steel industry.

Energy Services segment sales were $20.0 million for the second quarter, a 59-percent decrease from the prior year. The sales decrease was due to weak market conditions in the oil and gas sector and the shutdown of U.S. onshore service lines, including Nitrogen and Pipeline in the second quarter, as well as the shutdown of the Coiled Tubing service line in August 2015. The segment's operating loss for the quarter was $29.5 million which includes restructuring and impairment charges. Excluding special items, the segment incurred an operating loss for the quarter of $0.7 million compared with $4.6 million of operating income last year.  Going forward, Energy Services' primary service offerings will be off-shore filtration and well testing to the oil and gas industry globally.

The Company repaid $50 million in principal during the second quarter and $90 million in the first half of 2016 and intends to continue using excess cash flow to repay debt.  Also, during the second quarter, Standard & Poor's Global Ratings upgraded the Company's corporate credit rating.

"We had both a solid quarter and first half of 2016, and remain optimistic about our long-term growth," said Mr. Muscari. "Our Minerals-based businesses continue to pursue multiple avenues of growth around the globe, especially in China. In the Service-related business units, which comprise 22 percent of total revenue, Refractories has seen stabilization in the North American steel industry, and the Energy Services segment is now properly sized and focused on areas where it has differentiated service offerings and a strong competitive advantage."

3) To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended July 3, 2016, April 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 and the six month periods ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods.  The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company feels inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

4) Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures.  The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended July 3, 2016, April 3, 2016  and June 28, 2015 and the six month periods ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods.  The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities.  Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.  The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income, excluding special items (acquisition related transaction costs set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended July 3, 2016, April 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, and the six month periods ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above.  The Company's management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods.  The Company feels inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
