Perimeter Solutions Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

CLAYTON, Miss., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Perimeter Solutions, SA (NYSE: PRM) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a global solutions provider for the fire safety and oil additives industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"We are delighted to share our first financial results as a public company," said CEO Edward Goldberg. "Our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA grew double digits, in Fire Safety, in both the third quarter and year-to-date periods. Most importantly, we delivered on our commitment to support our customers efforts, 100% of the time, to save lives, property, and the environment. In addition, we successfully qualified and launched Phos-Chek Fortify, our new durable retardant product designed for the Prevention and Protection market. We believe Fortify is a game changer, providing season long protection for both fire prevention and fire protection." Mr. Goldberg added "Oil Additives Adjusted EBITDA declined in the third quarter, primarily due to higher material and transportation costs during the period. We fully expect to pass through these costs, with margin recovery already underway in the fourth quarter, and our expectations for the segment unchanged."

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Adjusted EBITDA

The computation of adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax expense, net interest and other financing expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted on a consistent basis for certain non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items in a balanced manner and on a segment basis. These items may include operational restructuring charges, unrealized loss (gain) on foreign currency translation, loss on contingent earnout, deferred future payments, and other non-recurring or non-operational items. Management fees also are excluded from the Company's calculation of adjusted EBITDA as these fees relate to the services provided by SK Capital Partners IV-A, L.P. and SK Capital Partners IV-B, L.P (collectively, the "Sponsor") when acting in a management capacity on strategic and other non-operational matters and do not represent expenses incurred in the normal course of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Perimeter provides a summary to show the computation of adjusted EBITDA, and reconciliation to net income, taking into account certain charges and gains that were recognized during the periods presented.
