NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) (“MTI” or “the Company”) today reported diluted earnings per share of $0.95, excluding special items, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared with diluted earnings per share of $1.17 in the prior year.  Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.83 compared with $1.22 in the prior year.

For the full year 2019, the Company reported earnings per share of $4.23, excluding special items, compared with earnings per share of $4.84 in the prior year. Reported earnings per share were $3.78 compared with earnings per share of $4.75 for the full year 2018.

“Our fourth quarter and full year 2019 results reflect our solid operational and strategic execution against the backdrop of weaker conditions in several markets we serve,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chief Executive Officer. “In 2019, we delivered sales growth across several product lines and geographies, increased volumes through capacity expansions and a new PCC satellite, and capitalized on customer demand for our latest innovative products. Our culture of continuous improvement and focus on aggressive cost control were fundamental in making the necessary changes to adjust our operations to the changing market environment.”

Mr. Dietrich continued, “During the year, we delivered strong free cash flow and maintained our balanced approach to capital allocation by making $92 million of debt payments and returning $48 million to shareholders. We also made tangible progress advancing several of our long-term strategic growth initiatives. Our disciplined execution, strong balance sheet, and breadth of growth opportunities position MTI well for continued value creation in 2020.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2019
           
Worldwide net sales were $440.2 million. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of approximately $3.2 million or 1 percentage point of growth. Operating income was $47.7 million and represented 10.8 percent of sales. Operating income excluding special items was $53.0 million and represented 12.0 percent of sales.

Segment Information

Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals
Sales in the Minerals businesses, which include the Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals segments, decreased 2 percent in the fourth quarter to $343.2 million.  Operating income for the Minerals businesses was $42.6 million and represented 12.4 percent of sales.

Performance Materials segment sales were $201.4 million.

Metalcasting sales decreased 12 percent, primarily due to weaker foundry demand for automotive, heavy truck and agricultural equipment in the U.S. and parts of Asia as well as lower volumes and pricing in the specialty sands business. However, overall Metalcasting sales grew 11 percent in China, reflecting continued market penetration of greensand bonds, which increased 14 percent. Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products sales increased 4 percent, driven by the continued strong performance of our global pet care business which grew 8 percent, as well as increases in our Human and Animal Health businesses. Building Materials sales grew 12 percent with higher North American construction activity and Environmental Products sales decreased 9 percent due to several large projects in the prior year.

Operating income for the segment was $23.2 million and represented 11.5 percent of sales. Operating income and margins were affected by lower Metalcasting sales and a weaker overall product mix, partially offset by improved profitability in Environmental Products.

The Performance Materials segment provides a wide range of bentonite-based and synthetic materials for industrial and consumer markets and for non-residential construction, environmental remediation and infrastructure projects worldwide.

Specialty Minerals segment sales, which consist of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product lines, were essentially flat at $141.8 million compared to the prior year.

Worldwide sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, decreased 1 percent to $109.0 million largely due to previously announced customer paper machine shutdowns in North America. However, Paper PCC volumes in Asia grew 6 percent, driven by the ramp up of a new satellite and capacity additions. Specialty PCC products increased 2 percent, primarily due to increased market demand for sealant products.

Processed Minerals sales were flat at $32.8 million. Processed Minerals products are used in the building materials, polymers, ceramics, consumer products, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries. 

Segment operating income was $19.4 million and represented 13.7 percent of sales. The decrease in operating income was driven by the paper mill shutdowns in North America, lower volumes in Europe and lower talc sales for automotive applications, which was partially offset by higher pricing.

Refractories and Energy Services
Sales in the Service businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services segments, decreased 1 percent to $97.0 million. Operating income for the Service businesses was $12.9 million and represented 13.3 percent of sales.

Refractories segment sales decreased 6 percent to $73.4 million, primarily due to lower sales of Refractory Products globally, partially offset by higher metallurgical products and laser equipment sales. The Refractories segment operating income was $10.4 million and represented 14.2 percent of sales.  The Refractories segment provides products and services primarily to the worldwide steel industry.

Energy Services segment sales rose 16 percent to $23.6 million, primarily driven by higher well testing activity in the Gulf of Mexico and increased international sales. Operating income increased to $2.5 million and represented 10.6 percent of sales. Energy Services offers a range of patented technologies, products and services for off-shore filtration and well testing to the worldwide oil and gas industry.

FULL YEAR 2019

Worldwide net sales were $1.791 billion, up 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Operating income, as reported, was $208.7 million and represented 11.7 percent of sales. Excluding special items, operating income was $235.3 million and represented 13.1 percent of sales.

Performance Materials segment sales decreased 1 percent to $823.3 million.

Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products and Environmental Products both increased 8 percent, offset by an 11 percent decrease in Metalcasting sales and a 2 percent decrease in Building Materials.

Operating income for the segment was $97.1 million and represented 11.8 percent of sales. Excluding special items, operating income was $104.1 million and represented 12.6 percent of sales.

4)	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 December 31, 2019, September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

	In the fourth quarter and full year of 2019, the Company recorded $5.3 million and $10.9 million related to ongoing litigation associated with the bankruptcy of Novinda Corp.
	Included in marketing and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2019 is a provision for bad debt of $2.5 million related to a bankruptcy of a Refractories customer in the UK.
	On December 22, 2017, tax reform legislation was signed into law, encompassing a broad range of tax reform proposals, including a reduction of U.S. corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%, transitioning U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax that is payable over eight years on deemed repatriated accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  As a result, the Company recorded a provisional $47 million income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2017, comprised of a tax benefit primarily from the lower U.S. tax rate. Such provisional amounts were based on reasonable estimates and subject to adjustment during the measurement period.  Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $3.7 million reduction related to the repatriation of accumulated foreign earnings.

 

5)	This press release contains a measure of underlying sales growth year-over-year excluding the impact of foreign exchange. This is a non-GAAP measure. We believe this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. The reconciliation of reported sales growth to underlying sales growth is as follows:
		Fourth Quarter 2019				Full Year 2019
		Reported	Foreign	Sales Growth		Reported	Foreign	Sales Growth
		Net Sales	Exchange	Excluding		Net Sales	Exchange	Excluding
		Growth	Impact	Foreign Exchange		Growth	Impact	Foreign Exchange
	Consolidated MTI	(2)%	(1)%	(1)%		(1)%	(2)%	1%

 

6)		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 December 31, 2019, September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 (set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2019, September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
