OAK BROOK, Ill., April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A. M. Castle & Co. (NYSE: CAS) ("the Company"), a global distributor of specialty metal and plastic products, value-added services and supply chain solutions, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Consolidated net sales were $253.4 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $292.7 million in the first quarter of 2013.  Reported net loss for the quarter was $16.0 million, or a loss of $0.69 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.  The Company's EBITDA was $0.4 million, or 0.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $4.8 million, or 1.6% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2013.  First quarter 2014 adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $15.7 million compared to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2013, and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 was $0.9 million compared to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2013.

"Net sales for the first quarter of 2014 were 8.7% higher than fourth quarter of 2013, but lagged prior year first quarter net sales by 13.4%.  The quarter started off slow, which was further exacerbated by weather related interruptions and increased operating costs related to the poor weather conditions," said Scott Dolan, CEO of A. M. Castle & Co.  Dolan added, "According to industry data, the Company trailed first quarter of 2014 metals industry sales volumes.  However, we did see year-over-year improvement for certain products and our overall Metals sales volumes increased by 13.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.  Additionally, we saw sequential improvement in Metals volumes and net sales per day throughout the first quarter, with March activity the highest within the quarter.  We were pleased with the level of sales exiting the quarter compared to where the quarter began."

The Metals segment first quarter of 2014 net sales of $219.1 million were 15.2% lower than the first quarter of last year, primarily due to a 10.5% decline in average pricing and a 4.5% volume decline.  In the Plastics segment, first quarter of 2014 net sales of $34.3 million were flat compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Gross material margins were 25.6% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 25.0% in the first quarter of 2013.  Reported gross material margins included LIFO income of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 and LIFO expense of $0.7 million in the same quarter last year.  In addition, restructuring charges of $0.8 million impacted cost of materials in the first quarter of 2013 while there were no restructuring charges in cost of materials in the first quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses were $72.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $74.3 million in the same quarter last year.  Restructuring charges in operating expenses were $0.7 million in the first quarter and $2.2 million in the prior year first quarter.  The $0.7 million of pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during the first quarter of 2014 related to a plant consolidation announced in October 2013.  "Operating expenses were higher than plan for the first quarter of 2014.  During the quarter, we realized the structural cost reductions that were driven by our 2013 restructuring actions.  However, the Company experienced temporary frictional costs during the first quarter of 2014 including higher plant overtime, transportation and outside service costs that were necessary to complete the facility transitions and inventory strategies," stated Dolan.

The effective tax rate was 0.3% for the first quarter of 2014 compared to 10.2% for the first quarter of 2013.  The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 reflected valuation allowances recorded against the UK deferred tax assets and no tax benefits for first quarter of 2014 losses in the U.S. and UK due to the potential that they may not be realized.  Under normal operating conditions, the Company's effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 32% to 35%.  However, based on current estimates, the effective tax rate for 2014 is expected to be in the range of 11% to 12%.

Net cash used in operations was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.  The cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2014 was $25.7 million compared to $30.8 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company had no cash borrowings under its revolving credit facility at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  The Company's net debt-to-capital ratio was 40.9% at March 31, 2014 compared to 38.7% at December 31, 2013.  Total debt outstanding, net of unamortized discount, was $247.0 million at March 31, 2014 and $246.0 million at December 31, 2013.  Refer to the 'Total Debt' table below for details related to the Company's outstanding debt obligations.

Dolan concluded, "Our team drove substantial progress in the implementation of our commercial initiatives during the quarter, and we anticipate these initiatives will gain momentum through the remainder of 2014.  As an example, the number of active accounts for our Metals segment remained steady throughout the first quarter of 2014, and new business wins exceeded normal account attrition.  We also saw an increase in quote activity in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period, which we believe is a good sign that our commercial initiatives are making incremental progress.  As we move forward, we remain focused on growing the business and leveraging our facility and trucking footprint, improving on-time delivery and optimizing inventory distribution and timing.  We are optimistic about the second quarter based on the sequential sales improvement we saw during the first quarter.  If markets continue to improve, we remain optimistic that 2014 will generate modest sales growth over the prior year."

Regulation G Disclosure
This release and the financial statements included in this release include non-GAAP financial measures.  The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  However, we believe that non-GAAP reporting, giving effect to the adjustments shown in the reconciliation contained in this release and in the attached financial statements, provides meaningful information and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP reporting and guidance.  Management often uses this information to assess and measure the performance of our business.  We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations and to assist with period-over-period comparisons of such operations.  The exclusion of the charges indicated herein from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by the Company that similar charges will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

In addition, the Company believes that the use and presentation of EBITDA, which is defined by the Company as income before provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, less interest income, is widely used by the investment community for evaluation purposes and provides investors, analysts and other interested parties with additional information in analyzing the Company's operating results.  Adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are defined as reported net income and EBITDA adjusted for non-cash items and items which are not considered by management to be indicative of the underlying results,  are presented as the Company believes the information is important to provide investors, analysts and other interested parties additional information about the Company's financial performance.  Management uses EBITDA, adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the business.

Cautionary Statement on Risks Associated with Forward Looking Statements
