A. M. CASTLE & CO. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2013 RESULTS
ANNOUNCES RECORD DATE AND ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING DATE
OAK BROOK, IL, FEBRUARY 25th – A. M. Castle & Co. (NYSE: CAS) (“the Company”), a global distributor of specialty metal and plastic products, value-added services and supply chain solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.
Consolidated net sales were $233.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $274.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Reported net loss for the quarter was $12.6 million, or a loss of $0.54 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The Company’s EBITDA was $0.3 million, or 0.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $8.8 million, or 3.2% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2013 adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $13.5 million compared to $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, and adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.4 million compared to $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net cash generated from operations was $8.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily driven by inventory improvement.
"The fourth quarter experienced some fairly typical seasonal trends and a continuation of the industry pressures that have followed the Company throughout 2013. Consistent with previous economic cycles, the Company believes that its specialty focus and business practices have exaggerated sales trends in these softer markets. However, we are proud of the work we continue to do to transform A. M. Castle. Long-term, we believe that our strategic initiatives, including a more dynamic and localized pricing management process, will better position the Company to navigate and prosper through the various cycles this industry faces. We have reduced operating costs by executing our restructuring plan, commenced our commercial initiatives and identified additional facilities to be consolidated as part of our continuous improvement plan to reduce costs and improve performance. In addition, last year we reduced inventories by $98 million on a replacement cost basis and purchased $15 million of our Senior Secured Notes on the open market with available cash," said Scott Dolan, CEO of A. M. Castle & Co. "The Company experienced lower sales trends in 2013 compared to 2012, most significantly in oil and gas and certain industrial markets. While overall market conditions remained weak throughout most of 2013, we believe that our targeted end markets will improve throughout 2014."
The Metals segment fourth quarter 2013 net sales of $200.5 million were 17.3% lower than the fourth quarter of last year, primarily due to a 13.0% volume decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. In the Plastics segment, fourth quarter 2013 net sales of $32.8 million were $1.0 million, or 3.3% higher than the fourth quarter of 2012.
Gross material margins were 26.4% in the fourth quarter 2013, compared to 25.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Reported gross material margins included LIFO income of $3.9 million for the fourth quarter 2013 and $0.6 million in the same quarter last year.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated net sales were $1,053.1 million, compared to 2012 net sales of $1,270.4 million. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $34.0 million including $10.2 million of restructuring charges, or a loss of $1.46 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million, or a loss of $0.42 per diluted share, in 2012. The Company’s EBITDA was $15.6 million, or 1.5% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $74.2 million, or 5.8% of net sales, in 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $28.1 million compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income of $6.3 million in 2012, and adjusted EBITDA was $26.2 million compared to $74.9 million in 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, Metals segment net sales of $918.3 million were 19.7% lower than 2012. Volumes decreased 17.9% from 2012 due to weak demand from various end markets. Plastics segment sales of $134.8 million were $8.3 million, or 6.6%, higher than 2012, reflecting stronger demand from the automotive, life science and marine sectors.
Gross material margins were 26.0% for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 27.0% in 2012. Reported gross material margins included LIFO income of $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a LIFO charge of $1.1 million in 2012.
Operating expenses, including $9.0 million of pre-tax restructuring charges, were $289.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $303.3 million in 2012. The $9.0 million of pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during year ended December 31, 2013 related to the restructuring actions announced in January and October 2013. The Company incurred $10.2 million of total restructuring charges in 2013 with $9.0 million included in operating expenses and $1.2 million of inventory write offs included in cost of materials.
Net cash generated from operations was $74.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2013 was $30.8 million compared to $21.6 million at December 31, 2012. The Company had no cash borrowings under its revolving credit facilities at December 31, 2013 compared to $40.0 million at December 31, 2012. The Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio improved to 38.7% at December 31, 2013 from 43.4% at December 31, 2012. Total debt outstanding, net of unamortized discount, was $246.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $297.1 million at December 31, 2012. Refer to the ‘Total Debt’ table below for details related to the Company’s outstanding debt obligations.
Dolan concluded, “We enter 2014 with cautious optimism as key market indicators improved in the second half of 2013, but the economic climate still remains uncertain. As we enter the second half of the year, we expect to see our commercial improvement strategies begin to take hold. These commercial efforts include new leadership, new empowerment, and new accountability, all of which should bring us closer to our customers and help us gain market share in the future. We expect our commercial initiatives to increase revenue with minimal increase in costs. If our targeted end markets improve in 2014 as anticipated, and we successfully implement our commercial revenue growth initiatives, we believe our operating expense to sales ratio would approximate 22% as we exit 2014. Lastly, we expect to further evolve our continuous improvement culture to identify new cost and productivity enhancements, including the previously announced facility consolidations and new warehouse and transportation improvements."
