ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritiv Corporation (NYSE: VRTV), a North American leader in business-to-business distribution solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

"We had solid Adjusted EBITDA and strong free cash flow in the second quarter, as our ongoing efficiency programs and the temporary actions we took to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, led to improved margins," said Mary Laschinger, Chairman and CEO of Veritiv Corporation. "As part of our efforts to address recent revenue declines from both COVID-19 and the continued structural decline in our Print and Publishing segments, we are implementing permanent changes to reduce our cost structure. We believe our substantial liquidity and the flexibility of our business model position us well to continue managing the impact of COVID-19 on our business, while safely and effectively serving our customers."

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019:

  • Net sales were $1.4 billion, a decrease of 28.3% from the prior year. Net sales decreased 28.0% from the prior year, excluding the negative effect of foreign currency (0.3%).
  • Net loss was $(18.5) million, compared to net loss of $(11.3) million in the prior year. Net restructuring charges were $32.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $6.9 million in the prior year.
  • Basic and diluted loss per share were $(1.16), compared to $(0.70) in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $39.8 million, a decrease of 8.1% from the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 2.8%, an increase of 60 basis points from the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019:

  • Net sales were $3.1 billion, a decrease of 20.2% from the prior year. Net sales decreased 20.6% from the prior year, excluding the negative effect of foreign currency (0.2%) and the positive effect of one more shipping day (0.6%) in 2020.
  • Net loss was $(18.9) million, compared to net loss of $(38.0) million in the prior year. Net restructuring charges were $32.5 million in 2020 compared to $9.3 million in the prior year.
  • Basic and diluted loss per share were $(1.18) compared to $(2.37) in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $76.0 million, an increase of 19.3% from the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 2.4%, an increase of 80 basis points from the prior year.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $141.7 million and free cash flow was $135.9 million.

"Our second quarter free cash flow generation was strong due to lower inventories and accounts receivable, driven by reduced volumes," said Stephen Smith, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Veritiv Corporation. "Our liquidity position remains healthy, and at the end of June 2020, our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was 2.8x, down from 4.0x in the prior year period."

Given the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be providing updated financial guidance at this time.

Veritiv Corporation will host a live conference call and webcast today, August 5, 2020, at 10 a.m. (ET) to discuss its second quarter financial results. To participate, callers within the United States ("U.S.") and Canada can dial (833) 968-2246, and international callers can dial (825) 312-2066, both using conference ID number 3988742.  Interested parties can also listen online at ir.veritivcorp.com. A replay of the call and webcast will be available online for a limited period of time at ir.veritivcorp.com shortly after the live webcast is completed.

Non-GAAP Measures

We supplement our financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non-GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, net, integration and acquisition expenses and other similar charges including any severance costs, costs associated with warehouse and office openings or closings, consolidation, and relocation and other business optimization expenses, stock-based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, non-restructuring asset impairment charges, non-restructuring severance charges, non-restructuring pension charges, net, fair value adjustments related to contingent liabilities assumed in mergers and acquisitions and certain other adjustments) because we believe investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA and these other non-GAAP measures as key financial metrics for valuing companies. In addition, the credit agreement governing our ABL Facility permits us to exclude the foregoing and other charges in calculating "Consolidated EBITDA", as defined in the ABL Facility. We approximate foreign currency effects by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA and these other non-GAAP measures are not alternative measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we consider and evaluate non-GAAP measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures and to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and these other non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Please see the following tables for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
