NEW YORK, July 29, 2010—Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) today reported second quarter diluted earnings per common share of $1.01 compared with $0.82 per share in the first quarter of 2010, a 23-percent increase. Excluding special items, earnings were $0.98 per share compared with $0.85 per share in the first quarter, a 15-percent increase.
"Our second quarter results showed significant sequential improvement for the fourth straight quarter, and brings us back to pre-recession levels of profitability” said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and chief executive officer. “The primary drivers for the improved
 
 
 
 
 
profitability were the Performance Minerals and Refractories businesses, which have reflected volume growth and improved productivity levels from the first quarter. These businesses also reflected significant turnarounds in operating performance from the prior year when the underlying markets were operating under depressed market conditions. We also recently announced the signing of an agreement to construct a satellite precipitated calcium carbonate facility to supply Ballarpur Industries’ Sewa Unit in India.”

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
Comparisons to First Quarter 2010

Worldwide sales in the quarter increased 1 percent to $255.8 million from $253.5 million in the previous quarter. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of approximately $4.0 million, or 2 percentage points. Operating income was $27.5 million, a 15-percent increase over the $23.9 million reported in the first quarter of 2010, excluding special items, and 19 percent over the $23.0 million operating income, as reported, in the first quarter. Return on Capital for the second quarter was 9.2 percent on an annualized basis compared to 8.1 percent for the prior quarter.
In the second quarter, sales in the Specialty Minerals segment, which includes the PCC and Processed Minerals product lines, decreased 2 percent to $168.2 million from $172.1 million in the prior quarter. Operating income, excluding special items, for the second quarter of 2010 was $19.0 million, a 1-percent decline from the $19.2 million reported in the first quarter.

Worldwide net sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, decreased 5 percent in the second quarter to $138.4 million from $145.1 million in the first quarter. Paper PCC sales decreased 6 percent in the second quarter to $123.2 million from $130.7 million in the prior period primarily because of the first quarter shutdowns of satellite plants at Franklin, Virginia, and Plymouth, North Carolina, and to paper machine maintenance shutdowns in the second quarter. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of approximately $2 million or 2 percentage points. Sales of Processed Minerals products for the second quarter were $29.8 million, a 10-percent increase from the $27.0 million reported in the first quarter of 2010. Processed Minerals products, which include ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and talc, are used in the building materials, polymers, ceramics, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries. Talc sales increased 12 percent to $11.4 million from $10.2 million in the prior quarter. GCC sales increased 10 percent. The Processed Minerals product line’s increased profitability was the result of volume growth due to improved market conditions in the construction and automotive sectors and to productivity improvements.
“The performance improvement in the Specialty Minerals segment was due not only to the volume increases in the Processed Minerals and Specialty PCC product lines,” said Mr. Muscari, “but also to productivity improvements in all product lines, as our Operational Excellence initiatives are showing results.”
Second quarter net sales in the Refractories segment, which primarily serves the steel industry, increased 8 percent to $87.6 million from $81.4 million in the first quarter of 2010. This increase was attributable to volume growth from improved global steel industry conditions and to several special projects in non-steel industries. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable

impact on sales of approximately $1.7 million, or 2 percentage points. Second quarter operating income for the Refractories segment, excluding special items, increased 63 percent to $9.6 million from $5.9 million in the prior period.  Operating income as reported was $9.3 million in the second quarter as compared $5.8 million in the prior quarter.

"The improvement in our financial performance is the result of the actions we initiated in the second quarter of 2009, which significantly reduced our cost base. We also saw improved conditions in the end markets we serve, especially steel, and achieved higher productivity throughout the company,” said Mr. Muscari. “We continue to generate strong operating cash flow—$40 million in the second quarter. And, our strong product development pipeline will provide us with additional opportunities for future growth.”

During the second quarter of 2009, as a result of the continuation of the severe downturn in the worldwide steel industry, the Company initiated a restructuring program, primarily in the Refractories Segment,  to improve efficiencies through consolidation of manfacturing operations and reduction of costs.  This realignment was put in place to better position ourselves strategically for improved profitability when the economy recovers. As part of this program, the Company consolidated its Old Bridge, New Jersey, operation into Bryan, Ohio, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in order to improve operational efficiencies and reduce logistics for key raw materials; rationalized its North American specialty shapes product line; rationalized some of its European operations; recorded further impairment charges of its Asian refractory operations as a result of  continued difficulties in market penetration as well as consolidated its Asian
 
operations and is actively seeking a regional alliance to aid in marketing its high value products; recognized impairment charges for refractory application equipment in North America and Europe due to customer underutilized assets under depressed volume conditions; recorded an impairment of assets charge for the Company's PCC facility in Millinocket, Maine and recorded a restructuring charge reflecting the severance costs related to plant consolidations as well as streamlining the management structure to operate more efficiently.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP income (loss), excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended July 4, 2010, April 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009 and the six month periods ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009  and a reconciliation to net income (loss) for such periods.  The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability  of results between periods.  The Company feels inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended July 4, 2010, April 4, 2010  and June 28, 2009  and the six month periods ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009. and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods.  The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities.  Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.  The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
