•
Second Quarter 2014 - Operating Income $46 Million; Adjusted EBITDA $46 Million;
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 24%
•

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., July 23, 2014 - Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU) today reported net income of $25 million or $1.33 earnings per diluted share for the second quarter 2014, increasing from $16 million or $0.85 earnings per diluted share for the first quarter 2014 and $19 million or $0.98 earnings per diluted share for the second quarter 2013. Excluding the impact of non-run-rate items adjusted net income was $19 million or $1.05 per diluted share for the second quarter 2014, compared to adjusted net income of $13 million or $0.72 per diluted share for the first quarter 2014 and $17 million or $0.91 per diluted share for the prior year second quarter.

Net income for the first half 2014 was $40 million or $2.18 earnings per diluted share. For the prior year period, net income of $52 million or $2.70 earnings per diluted share reflected a lower effective tax rate as a result of an $8 million Canadian tax benefit. First half 2014 adjusted net income of $33 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.76 were down compared to adjusted net income of $37 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.93 in the first half of 2013. Stronger shipments and value added revenue were offset by higher major maintenance and weather related energy costs during the first half 2014 compared to the prior year period.

Value added revenue of $190 million for the second quarter 2014 was up from $186 million in the first quarter 2014 and $184 million in the second quarter 2013. For the first six months of 2014, value added revenue of $375 million was up slightly from $371 million for the prior year period.

Adjusted consolidated EBITDA was $46 million or 24.4% of value added revenue in the second quarter 2014 compared to adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $37 million or 19.7% of value added revenue in the first quarter 2014, and $44 million or 24.0% of value added revenue for the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2014, adjusted consolidated EBITDA decreased $9 million to $83 million compared to the prior year period reflecting approximately $5 million of higher major maintenance expense and weather related energy costs. In addition, the first six months of 2013 benefited from a $4.5 million customer payment received in lieu of minimum contractual aerospace volumes.
Summary
 
“We are pleased to report strong second quarter 2014 value added revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Jack A. Hockema, President, CEO and Chairman. “In the second quarter we posted another record for heat treat plate and automotive shipments, which, along with improving manufacturing efficiencies, more than offset the impact of lower heat treat plate prices. The throughput and efficiency gains from the Phase 5 expansion at our Spokane (Trentwood), Washington facility exceeded our initial expectations and were key factors driving our improved performance in the quarter.”

*Please refer to GAAP financial statements
Totals may not sum due to rounding

Consolidated operating income as reported of $46 million for the second quarter 2014 and $79 million for the first half 2014, included non-run-rate gains of approximately $8 million and $11 million, respectively.

Excluding the impact of non-run-rate items, adjusted consolidated operating income of $39 million in the second quarter 2014 increased approximately $10 million sequentially from $29 million in the first quarter 2014. After reflecting the impact of approximately $5 million of additional costs in the first quarter 2014 related to benefit accruals and weather related energy costs, the increase in second quarter 2014 was primarily driven by record heat treat plate and automotive extrusion shipments and improved manufacturing efficiencies. On a year-over -year comparative basis, adjusted consolidated operating income for the second quarter 2014 was up slightly from $37 million in the second quarter 2013.





For the first half 2014, adjusted consolidated operating income of $68 million declined $10 million compared to the first half 2013, reflecting a $4.5 million customer payment recognized in 2013, $3 million of higher planned major maintenance expenses, $2 million of higher weather related energy costs, and $1 million of higher depreciation expense. Relative to the first half 2013, the impact from lower prices on heat treat plate was largely offset by higher volume and improved underlying costs.

During the first half 2014, uses of cash included approximately $37 million returned to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends, capital investments of $30 million, and a $16 million annual variable contribution to the VEBAs. Total capital spending for the full year 2014 is anticipated to be in the range of $50 million to $60 million related to significant organic investments to support further growth in aerospace and automotive applications. Total liquidity at June 30, 2014 remained strong with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $301 million and net borrowing availability under the Company's revolving credit facility of $251 million.

Outlook

”As we capture further benefits from our Phase 5 heat treat plate expansion and the new casting complex at our Trentwood facility, we expect continued improvement in throughput and manufacturing efficiency,” stated Mr. Hockema. “We anticipate normal seasonal demand weakness in the second half of 2014 and favorable year-over-year results reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies and strong momentum in our heat treat plate and automotive shipments. Overall, for the full year 2014, we continue to expect results will be similar to 2012 and 2013.”

“Looking beyond 2014, we remain very positive on the long-term prospects for our company as we continue to realize the full benefits from strong secular demand fundamentals for our aerospace and automotive extrusion applications and continued improvement in our manufacturing efficiencies driven by the capital investments we have made to support growth. The investments to expand our capacity and capabilities and to further enhance our product quality will continue to allow us to capture additional opportunities for profitable growth in our served markets in aerospace, automotive and general industrial applications,” concluded Mr. Hockema.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the accompanying tables.
 
The non-GAAP financial measures used within this earnings release are value added revenue, adjusted operating income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per diluted share which exclude non-run-rate items. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends and believes this information to also be useful for investors.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied. Kaiser Aluminum cautions that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and involve significant risks and uncertainties and actual events may vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include: (a) material adverse changes in economic or industry conditions generally, including global financial markets; (b) the Company’s inability to achieve the level of profitable growth, capacity and capability expansions, product quality enhancements or other benefits anticipated by management, including those anticipated from the Company’s acquisitions and other strategic investments, as well as its ability to participate in anticipated new automotive programs expected to launch in the future; (c) increases in the Company’s costs, including the cost of energy, raw materials and freight costs, which it is unable to pass through to its customers; (d) changes in the markets served by the Company, including aerospace, defense, general engineering, automotive, distribution and other markets, including changes impacting the volume, price or mix of products sold by the Company and the Company's ability to flex production consistent with changing demand levels; (e) the Company's ability to lower energy costs, realize manufacturing throughput gains and efficiencies and complete its expansion and organic growth projects, equipment and facility upgrades to improve manufacturing and cost efficiencies and product and manufacturing platform expansions as planned and by targeted completion dates; (f) the impact of the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors on future dividends or the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock and any decision by the Company's board of directors in regard to either; (g) unfavorable changes in laws or regulations that impact the Company’s operations and results; (h) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government investigations and environmental remediation; and (i) other risk factors summarized in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As more fully described in these reports, “non-run-rate” items are items that, while they may occur from period to period, are particularly material to results, impact costs primarily as a result of external market factors and may not occur in future periods if the same level of underlying performance were to occur. All information in this




release is as of the date of the release. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company's expectations.
