CLEVELAND, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OM Group, Inc. (NYSE: OMG) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.  For the fourth quarter and full year 2013, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $27 million and $121 million, respectively.  These amounts exclude charges related to cost-reduction initiatives and the results of its divested Advanced Materials business.  The Company also reported fourth quarter income from continuing operations of $0.54 per diluted share, or $0.28 per diluted share excluding the cost-reduction charges, the divested Advanced Materials business and $13 million of other income from a reduction of the contingent consideration liability related to the 2011 acquisition of Rahu. Reconciliations of the Company's U.S. GAAP results to the corresponding adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share amounts referred to above are included in tables at the end of this press release.

"OM Group achieved a break-through year in 2013," said Joe Scaminace, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OM Group, Inc.  "Strategically, we sold our commodity cobalt and UPC businesses and used the proceeds to repay all of our debt.  Operationally, we hired a President and Chief Operating Officer, achieved cost-reduction savings of $17 million, and launched operations and commercial excellence initiatives across each of our businesses.  And financially, we delivered $121 million of adjusted EBITDA, generated $63 million of operating cash flows, and returned $14 million of capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases.  Our fourth quarter results demonstrate that we now have a portfolio of stable, more predictable businesses that are able to deliver solid results in spite of macroeconomic conditions in several markets that continue to be challenging."

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, payable on March 7, 2014 to stockholders of record as of February 24.  "Over the past few years, we transformed OM Group by exiting commodity businesses, investing in technology and innovation, and positioning the Company in attractive markets and customer applications," said Mr. Scaminace.  "We created an enterprise with a more sustainable and predictable profit and cash flow profile, enabling us to initiate a quarterly cash dividend.  This dividend complements our strategy of organic and acquisitive growth, and underscores our commitment to creating long-term value for our shareholders."

Fourth quarter 2013 sales were $270 million.  Excluding the Advanced Materials business and the effects of rare earth pricing in Magnetic Technologies, net sales increased 7% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to 2012.  The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in both Magnetic Technologies and Battery Technologies, as well as 3% of foreign currency translation benefit from the stronger Euro/US dollar rate in 2013.  Specialty Chemicals sales were also higher than a year ago due to higher sales volumes in the business' electronic chemicals product line.

Cash flows from operating activities in the quarter were $33 million, and as of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash of $118 million and no debt outstanding.

At the beginning of the year, the Company announced a broad range of cost-reduction initiatives to improve financial performance and optimize its cost structure.  Fourth quarter savings from these initiatives were $6 million, bringing the full year 2013 total to $17 million.  The Company incurred charges of $2 million and $10 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2013, respectively, related to these initiatives.  These charges are excluded from the Company's adjusted results.

The Company provided a 2014 adjusted EBITDA forecast of $130-$140 million.  This forecast reflects benefits from the Company's ongoing growth initiatives and considers current uncertainties around macroeconomic conditions in Europe and U.S. government spending levels.  This forecast excludes the Advanced Materials business.

Mr. Scaminace concluded, "Throughout 2013, we responded to challenging market conditions with actions that benefited 2013 results and will help fuel our longer-term growth.  We are confident in our ability to execute our strategy and create long-term value for our shareholders."

In order to assist readers of our financial statements in understanding the operating results that the Company's management uses to evaluate the business, we are providing adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that these are important metrics in evaluating the performance of the Company's business, providing a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating results and isolating the impact of certain items on our results.  The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP operating profit - as reported to adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA. The non-U.S. GAAP financial information set forth in the table above should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, because the reported loss from continuing operations is income on an adjusted basis, we used diluted shares to calculate EPS.

 

Certain financial data may have been rounded. As a result of such rounding, the totals of data presented in this document may vary slightly from the actual arithmetical totals of such data.

 

In order to assist readers of our financial statements in understanding the operating results that the Company's management uses to evaluate the business, we are providing adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders and adjusted earnings per common share attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - assuming dilution, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We are also providing the amounts as pro forma adjusted to exclude the results of the divested Advanced Materials business.  The Company's management believes that these are important metrics in evaluating the performance of the Company's business, providing a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating results and isolating the impact of certain items on our results. The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - as reported to adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders and earnings per common share attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - assuming dilution, adjusted for both special items as identified in the table and to exclude the results of the divested Advanced Materials business. The non-U.S. GAAP financial information set forth in the table above should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
