CLEVELAND, Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OM Group, Inc. (NYSE: OMG) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

Fourth-quarter net sales were $293.1 million, 21 percent higher than a year ago. The increase was driven primarily by net sales of $31.2 million in Battery Technologies due to the acquisition of EaglePicher Technologies in January of 2010. Excluding the acquisition, sales rose 9 percent on higher cobalt volume and metal resale in Advanced Materials and volume growth in Specialty Chemicals. 2010 fourth-quarter net income was $23.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared with $14.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2009. Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $0.77 per diluted share, compared with $0.48 per diluted share last year.

Gross profit grew 14 percent due primarily to higher volumes and the EaglePicher Technologies acquisition. Gross margin declined to 24.1 percent of sales from 25.7 percent last year, as the benefit from volume growth was offset by lower pricing and a compression in Advanced Materials gross margin due to timing and direction of changes in raw material costs in the fourth quarter of 2010. SG&A increased due to the acquisition, higher sales and higher performance-based employee annual incentive compensation. As a result of the lower gross margin and higher SG&A, operating margin fell to 8.7 percent of sales compared with 12.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The fourth quarter income tax benefit of $2.1 million includes a net discrete tax benefit of $0.7 million primarily due to changes in uncertain tax positions (company portion is $1.5 million). The full-year effective tax rate excluding discrete items fell to 22.6 percent due primarily to the movement of foreign exchange rates and their impact on tax expense. This reduced income taxes provided in the fourth quarter by $6.3 million.

Cash used for operating activities during the fourth quarter was $35.0 million. This included $68.1 million of payments into a deposit account related to a legal injunction against payment to our joint venture partner for raw materials. The company's cash balance at the end of the quarter was $400.6 million.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS (all comparisons with the fourth quarter of 2009)

Advanced Materials

  • Net sales were $152.0 million, up 14 percent
  • Excluding metal resale and by-product sales, product volumes fell 7 percent, as growth in powder metallurgy, ceramics and chemical was offset by a decrease in battery materials
  • Operating profit was $20.7 million (13.6 percent of sales), down 20 percent on higher SG&A and lower gross margin

Specialty Chemicals

  • Net sales were $110.0 million, up 1 percent
  • Demand was higher in electronic technologies end markets, while volumes fell in Advanced Organics due to the closure of the Manchester, England facility
  • Operating profit was $11.6 million (10.5 percent of sales), up $0.5 million due primarily to higher volumes in electronic technologies

Battery Technologies

  • Net sales were $31.2 million
  • Operating profit was $3.1 million
  • Note: This segment is comprised of EaglePicher Technologies, which was acquired on January 29, 2010. Comparison to previous year not provided.

FULL-YEAR RESULTS

For the full year, consolidated net sales increased 37 percent to $1,196.6 million and income from continuing operations was $82.6 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $19.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share in 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year was $126.6 million.

"2010 was a very good year for OM Group from both a financial results and operational execution standpoint," said Joseph Scaminace, chairman and chief executive officer. "During the fourth quarter, we continued to build on the positive momentum we have been generating for the company. I am particularly pleased with how well all of our businesses are contributing to our financial performance. Similarly, I am proud of the way our people have responded to the continued increase in demand across our various end markets, while maintaining the financial discipline we have instituted throughout the organization. As a result, we have been able to efficiently translate the increasing net sales into earnings growth and excellent cash flow generation."

Scaminace noted that the company's ability to generate strong cash flow is critical to its growth and transformation strategy because it enables OM Group to continue to fund its organic growth through product innovation and capital investment, as well as remain active in identifying growth opportunities in adjacent, value-added technologies and solutions.

OUTLOOK

"As we begin 2011, we expect to continue to produce profitable growth and steadily increasing value creation for our shareholders, thanks to our truly global footprint and market-leading positions in fast-growing end markets," said Scaminace. "Assuming macroeconomic conditions remain relatively steady, we expect to see continued growth across our various end markets. In particular, within our growth platforms of portable power and electronic chemicals, we anticipate continued strong demand for battery materials, semiconductor, memory disk and printed circuit board products. Similarly, at this point in time, we expect industrial and automotive production to remain strong, which bodes well for powder metallurgy. We also believe growing demand for portable power and energy storage solutions from the defense, aerospace and medical sectors will benefit our specialized Battery Technologies businesses."

For purposes of this release, discussions related to income (loss) from continuing operations or net income (loss) pertain to amounts attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company is including certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. and Earnings per common share – assuming dilution, both as adjusted for special items. "Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. – as adjusted for special items" is a non-GAAP measure used in this release. It is defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure in a schedule attached to this release. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance and will enhance investors' understanding of the performance of the Company's operations during 2010 and of the comparability of the 2010 results to the results of the relevant prior period. Such non-GAAP financial measures are unique to the Company and may not be employed by other companies.  The non-GAAP financial information should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The foregoing discussion may include forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based upon specific assumptions and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the company's operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the company. These uncertainties and factors could cause actual results of the company to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements contained in the foregoing discussion. Such uncertainties and factors include: the potential impact that global economic and financial market crisis may have on our business and operations, including future goodwill impairments; the direction and pace of our strategic transformation, including identification of and the ability to finance potential acquisitions; the operation of our critical business facilities without interruption; the speed and sustainability of price changes in cobalt; the potential for lower of cost or market write-downs of the carrying value of inventory necessitated by decreases in the market price of cobalt or the selling prices of the Company's finished products; the availability of competitively priced supplies of raw materials, particularly cobalt; the demand for metal-based specialty chemicals and products in the Company's markets; the impact of environmental regulations on our operating facilities and the impact of new or changes to current environmental, health and safety laws on our products and their use by our customers; the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on the Company's international operations; the effect of non-currency risks of investing and conducting operations in foreign countries, including political, social, economic and regulatory factors; the effect of changes in domestic or international tax laws; and the general level of global economic activity and demand for the Company's products.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:        

The Company is including certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. and Earnings per common share - assuming dilution, both as adjusted for special items. "Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. - as adjusted for special items" is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company's management uses as an important metric in evaluating the performance of the Company's business.  The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP results, as reported (both net income (loss) attributable to OM Group, Inc. and income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc.), to its non-GAAP results after adjusting for the special items shown. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented in the table above facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance and will enhance investors' understanding of the performance of the Company's operations during 2010 and of the comparability of the 2010 results to the results of the relevant prior period. Such non-GAAP financial measures are unique to the Company and may not be employed by other companies. The non-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.
