Dynacast Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

August 17, 2012

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — As previously announced, the management of Dynacast International Inc. will hold a conference call at 11.30 a.m., Eastern Time, this morning, Friday, August 17, 2012, to review Dynacast’s results for the second quarter of 2012.

For the second quarter of 2012, net sales were $128.3 million, a 6.9% increase from $120.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net income decreased from $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA increased from $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 to $23.2 million for second quarter of 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net sales increased 3.2% to $248.2 million, compared to $240.5 million for the same period in 2011. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $26.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA increased from $43.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, to $44.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Results for the second quarter of 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2012 were impacted by $4.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of additional depreciation and amortization expense related to the allocation of the purchase price paid in the acquisition of the Dynacast business from Melrose plc in July 2011. In addition, the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were negatively impacted by the weakening of the average U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate. This resulted in a reduction to net sales of $5.0 million and $7.1 million and a reduction in net income of $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA, as used in this news release, are non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is earnings before interest, other income, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for certain items that we believe hinder comparison of the performance of our business either year-over-year or with other businesses, including non-controlling interests, management fees, stand-alone costs, restructuring costs, professional fees and transaction costs. Items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they are individually or collectively material items that we do not consider to be representative of the performance of our core business during the periods under review. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance.

Segment EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expense to segment operating income. We measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on segment operating income, which is consistent with our chief operating decision maker’s assessment of segment performance. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we believe that Segment EBITDA is useful in evaluating operating profitability as it excludes the depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the allocation of the purchase price paid in the July 2011 acquisition of the Dynacast business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which expenses were not present during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. Segment EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to segment operating income.

Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are considered non-GAAP measures because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to the fact that Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA:

  • do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our debts;
  • do not reflect any cash requirements that would be required for replacement of assets that are being depreciated or amortized; and
  • may exclude items that reflect cash payments that were made, or will in the future be made.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.

For reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in the accompanying tables.
