KEMET ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Third Quarter Highlights

• Net sales of $294.7 million within the upper range of Management's guidance

• GAAP Gross margin of 31.6%

• GAAP EPS of $0.28 per diluted share

• Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS of $0.46 per diluted share

• GAAP Operating margin of 9.7% and non-GAAP Adjusted operating margin of 13.7%

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (February 6, 2020) - KEMET Corporation (“KEMET” or the “Company”) (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of passive electronic components, today reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019.

"Our overall non-GAAP adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong at 31.9% and 19.3%, respectively, during the third fiscal quarter, despite a decrease in sales due to the general slow-down in the electronics industry and distribution inventory corrections. These strong margins are further proof that the structural changes we have made in our operations are firmly ingrained in our margin structure. We are collaborating with our distribution partners to further decrease inventory in the channel during our fourth fiscal quarter. Closer alignment of end-customer demand with our shipments should enable us to create opportunities for revenue growth as we enter our next fiscal year in April,” stated William M. Lowe Jr., KEMET’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are closely monitoring the Coronavirus situation as it impacts our China facilities and we are conforming to the regulations imposed by the governmental authorities for the timing of employees returning back to work with the extension of the New Year's holiday. It is too early to know whether it will have a measurable impact to our fourth fiscal quarter revenue,” continued Lowe.

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2019, net sales were $294.7 million and $967.4 million, respectively, compared to $350.2 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, for the same period last year.

GAAP operating margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased to 9.7% compared to 17.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased to 13.7%compared to 19.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Cash on the balance sheet was $208.4 million at December 31, 2019.

GAAP net income was $16.6 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to GAAP net income of $40.8 million or $0.69 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $27.6 million or $0.46 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $62.7 million or $1.06 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Net income for the quarters ended December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 include various items affecting comparability as denoted in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table included hereafter.

Yageo Merger Update

In a separate release dated February 4, 2020, KEMET also announced the merger transaction with Yageo is proceeding per plan with several key milestones already completed. The transaction is on track to close in the second half of 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted gross margin,” “Adjusted SG&A expenses,” “Adjusted operating income,” “Adjusted net income,” “Adjusted net income per basic and diluted share,” “EBITDA,” and “Adjusted EBITDA,” and certain related ratios. Management believes that investors may find it useful to review the Company’s financial results as adjusted to exclude items as determined by management as further described below.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin represents net sales less cost of sales excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below. Management uses adjusted gross margin to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that adjusted gross margin is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company.  Adjusted gross margin should not be considered as an alternative to gross margin or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation from non-GAAP adjusted gross margin to GAAP gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

We use adjusted operating income to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided below, which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense, interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our ability to service debt. We believe EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

We also present adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA excluding adjustments that are outlined in the following quantitative reconciliation provided, as a supplemental measure of our performance and because we believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect our continuing operations.

In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments noted below. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these types of adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. 

Our adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our adjusted EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

• it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;

• it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and

• other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using adjusted EBITDA as supplementary information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company has presented certain historical financial measures in this presentation that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses. The reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures have been included in this presentation. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP because management believes such measures are useful to investors for the reasons described below. Adjusted gross margin Adjusted gross margin represents net sales less cost of sales excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses adjusted gross margin to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that adjusted gross margin is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted gross margin should not be considered as an alternative to gross margin or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses represents selling, general and administrative expenses excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses should not be considered as an alternative to selling, general and administrative expenses or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating income Adjusted operating income represents operating income, excluding adjustments which are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses adjusted operating income to facilitate our analysis and understanding of our business operations by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that adjusted operating income is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and allows investors to monitor and understand 28 changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. Adjusted operating income should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Continued Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per basic and diluted share Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share represent net income and net income per basic and diluted share, excluding adjustments which are more specifically outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share to evaluate the Company's operating performance by excluding the items outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided above which might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. The Company believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share are useful to investors because they provide a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and allows investors to monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense, interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our ability to service debt. We believe EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.   We also present adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA excluding adjustments that are outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in the presentation, as a supplemental measure of our performance and because we believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect our continuing operations.   In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these types of adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. 29

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Continued Our adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; • it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; • it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our adjusted EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; • it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; • it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; • it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and • other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using adjusted EBITDA as supplementary information. 30
