Axiall Reports First-Quarter 2015 Results

 

ATLANTA — May 5, 2015 — Axiall Corporation (NYSE: AXLL) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

The company reported net sales of $947.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to net sales of $993.7 million for the first quarter of 2014.  The company reported a net loss attributable to Axiall of $10.6 million, or a $0.15 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss attributable to Axiall of $11.6 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.  The company reported an Adjusted Net Loss of $3.6 million and an Adjusted Loss Per Share of $0.05 for the first quarter of 2015, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $5.3 million and an Adjusted Loss Per Share of $0.08 for the first quarter of 2014. The company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $83.2 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $67.6 million for the first quarter of 2014.

 

“Our first-quarter results were primarily driven by higher operating rates and lower ethylene and natural gas costs compared to the first quarter of last year.  The benefit from these impacts was partially offset by lower caustic and vinyl prices,” said President and CEO Paul Carrico.  “In our Building Products segment, we experienced volume growth in both the U.S. and Canadian markets, but this was more than offset by the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar compared to the same period last year.”

Chlorovinyls

 

In the Chlorovinyls segment, first quarter 2015 net sales were $648.4 million compared to $682.2 million during the first quarter of 2014. This net sales decrease was primarily due to lower vinyl prices, driven by lower feedstock pricing; and lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic soda pricing. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by higher operating rates and related sales volumes, as the first quarter of 2014 was impacted by an extended outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility. The segment posted Adjusted EBITDA of $96.7 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $76.2 million for the same quarter in the prior year.  The $20.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to decreases in our cost of natural gas and ethylene, higher operating rates and related sales volumes, and decreased maintenance expenses.  These favorable factors were partially offset by lower vinyl prices and lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic soda pricing.

 

Building Products

 

In the Building Products segment, net sales were $166.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, increasing 8 percent compared to $154.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year.  On a constant currency basis, net sales for the quarter increased by 13 percent.  The net sales increase was driven by a 10 percent increase in sales volumes, with sales volumes in the United States higher by 13 percent and sales volumes in Canada higher by 7 percent. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to break-even during the same quarter of the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to a foreign currency exchange impact of approximately $1.8 million from a stronger United States dollar relative to a weaker Canadian dollar, and also due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, offset in part by higher sales volumes.

 

Aromatics

 

In the Aromatics segment, net sales decreased 15 percent to $132.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 from $156.8 million for the first quarter of 2014.  During the first quarter of 2015, the segment recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million during the same quarter in 2014.  The decrease in sales primarily resulted from a significant decline in the sales prices for cumene, phenol and acetone during the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, driven primarily by lower feedstock costs and overall continued weakness in the aromatics markets.  The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter in 2014 was primarily due to inventory holding losses and lower-of-cost-or-market inventory adjustments.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Axiall has supplemented its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP with four non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted Net Loss; (ii) Adjusted Loss Per Share; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; and (iv) building products net sales on a constant currency basis.

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Axiall excluding adjustments for tax effected restructuring and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on sales of certain assets, debt refinancing costs, certain acquisition accounting and non-income tax reserve adjustments, certain professional fees associated with various potential and completed merger and acquisitions, joint venture and other transactions, costs to attain synergies related to the integration of the former chemicals business of PPG Industries (the “Merged Business”), impairments charges for goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets.

 

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is calculated using Adjusted Net Income (Loss) rather than consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Axiall calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, restructuring and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on sales of certain assets, debt refinancing costs, certain acquisition accounting and non-income tax reserve adjustments, certain professional fees associated with various potential and completed mergers and acquisitions, joint venture and other transactions, costs to attain synergies related to the integration of the Merged Business, impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, certain pension and other post-retirement plan curtailment gains and settlement losses and interest expense related to the lease-financing transaction discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Axiall has supplemented the financial statements with Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share because investors commonly use financial measures such as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as a component of performance and valuation analysis for companies, such as Axiall, that recently have engaged in transactions and have incurred expenses such as professional fees related to potential transactions, that result in non-recurring pre-tax charges or benefits that have a significant impact on the calculation of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Axiall pursuant to GAAP, in order to approximate the amount of net income (loss) that such a company would have achieved absent those non-recurring, transaction-related charges or benefits. In addition, Axiall has supplemented the financial statements with Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share because we believe these financial measures will be helpful to investors in approximating what our net income (loss) would have been absent the impact of certain non-recurring, pre-tax charges and benefits.  We have supplemented the financial statements with Adjusted EBITDA because investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA as a main component of valuation analysis of cyclical companies such as Axiall.

 

In addition, we may compare certain financial information, including building products net sales, on a constant currency basis. We present such information to provide a framework for investors to assess how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. To present this information, current and comparative prior period financial information for certain businesses reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rate in effect during the base period, rather than the average exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

 

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and building products net sales on a constant currency basis, are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share or net sales, as a measure of performance or to cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our calculation of these various non-GAAP measurements may be different from the calculations

 



 

used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented in the tables set forth below.
