RADNOR, Pa., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VWR Corporation (NASDAQ: VWR), a leading, global, independent provider of products, services and solutions to laboratory and production facilities, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 — Highlights

  • Consolidated revenues of $1.10 billion, down 1.7%, but up 5.9% constant currency, and up 3.7% on an organic basis.
  • Americas and EMEA-APAC segments' organic revenues increased 4.4% and 2.8%, respectively.
  • 3Q15 Adjusted EPS of $0.38, up 46.2% compared to $0.26 in the prior year.
  • 2015 nine month cash flow from operating activities of $157.3 million as compared to $87.2 million in the prior year.
  • Acquired Purification Technologies, Inc., a domestic specialty solvent company, on October 1, 2015.
  • Management reaffirms full year 2015 guidance.

Manuel Brocke-Benz, President and Chief Executive Officer of VWR, commented: "We are pleased to report solid financial results, highlighting the strength of our operations and our ability to effectively meet the needs of our customers. In the third quarter, we faced a difficult comparison driven by the ongoing strength of the U.S. dollar as compared to the euro and other currencies. Adjusting for this currency headwind, we posted solid revenue and earnings growth. In addition, our success in de-levering the balance sheet and reducing interest expense helped drive a 46.2% year-over-year increase in Adjusted EPS to $0.38. The strength of our performance and our robust cash flow generation position us well to continue to drive shareholder value."

Third Quarter 2015 — Consolidated Results

Revenues were $1.10 billion, down $18.9 million, or 1.7% compared to prior year. The foreign exchange impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies reduced revenues by $84.3 million, or 7.6%. On an organic basis, revenues increased $41.6 million, or 3.7%, while recent acquisitions increased revenues by an additional $23.8 million, or 2.1% as compared to prior year.

Operating income was $81.1 million, down $11.5 million, or 12.4% compared to prior year. The third quarter of 2015 included a $3.2 million intangible asset impairment charge related to a prior acquisition, a legacy facility exit charge of $1.4 million and a $0.4 million gain resulting from changes in an earn-out estimate. The third quarter of 2014 included a gain on the rescission of an acquisition of $11.1 million. Excluding these non-comparable items and the impact of currency and acquisitions, operating income increased $4.6 million, or 5.6% compared to prior year.

Adjusted Net Income was $49.8 million, up $15.2 million, or 43.9% compared to prior year. Adjusted EPS increased 46.2% year-over-year to $0.38, up from $0.26 in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $117.8 million, up $4.9 million compared to prior year.

Greg Cowan, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Third quarter 2015 net interest expense was $28.1 million, down $16.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2014. VWR recently concluded a refinancing which effectively extended the maturities and lowered interest costs for $1.5 billion of our debt. We believe that the refinancing builds on our track record of prudently managing down interest expense and deleveraging the balance sheet. Lower interest expense translates directly into increased cash flow, giving us enhanced capabilities to further strengthen our balance sheet, execute a value added acquisition strategy and take advantage of attractive capital deployment opportunities in the future."

Third Quarter 2015 — Segment Results

Americas

Revenues were $667.9 million, up $32.4 million, or 5.1% compared to prior year. On an organic basis, revenues increased 4.4% year-over-year. The increase in the Americas revenue was driven by strong chemical sales to biotech and production customers.

Operating income was $47.2 million, down $2.9 million, or 5.8% compared to prior year. Excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, the third quarter 2015 legacy facility exit charge of $1.4 million, a $0.4 million gain on an earn-out estimate, and the third quarter 2014 gain on the rescission of an acquisition of $11.1 million, operating income increased $6.2 million, or 15.9% year-over-year, the result of higher sales volume and operating margin improvement.

EMEA-APAC

Revenues were $427.6 million, down $51.3 million, or 10.7% year-over-year, with the reduction due to the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies. Currency reduced reported revenues by 14.9%, while acquisitions added 1.4%. On an organic basis, revenues increased 2.8%.

Operating income was $33.9 million, down $8.6 million, or 20.2% compared to prior year. The third quarter of 2015 included a $3.2 million intangible asset impairment charge related to a prior acquisition. Excluding the impairment charge, and the impact of currency and acquisitions, comparable operating income declined $1.6 million or 3.8%. The reduction was driven by two transitory factors, the significant year-over-year change in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate, which limited our ability to adjust pricing to offset cross-border denominated purchases into the Euro market and to a lesser extent, a continuation of a supply chain disruption.

Full Year 2015 Outlook

Management reaffirms full year 2015 guidance, with 2015 revenues in the range of $4.24 to $4.31 billion. Despite the inclusion of the negative foreign exchange influence on our results, given our strong organic performance we still expect to achieve results within our 2015 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $456 to $463 million, albeit towards the lower end. 2015 Adjusted EPS is anticipated to be in the range of $1.42 to $1.50.

Our full year 2015 outlook assumes:

  • Fourth quarter currency exchange rates consistent with our previously issued guidance.
  • Adjusted diluted shares outstanding of slightly less than 132 million.
  • The income tax rate to calculate 2015 Adjusted EPS of slightly below 37%.
  • Share-based compensation expense in the range of $5 to $6 million before tax. Adjusted EPS guidance includes share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes share-based compensation expense.
  • No impact from acquisitions closed after November 5, 2015.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flows

At September 30, 2015, total debt was $2.05 billion and cash and cash equivalents was $122.8 million, resulting in Net Debt of $1.93 billion, down $61.2 million compared to Net Debt of $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2014. The reduction in Net Debt was primarily due to changes in foreign exchange rates and from strong cash flow from operations. Our ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 4.2x at September 30, 2015, down slightly compared to 4.4x as of December 31, 2014.

In the third quarter of 2015, cash generated by operating activities was $60.2 million compared to $18.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase in cash flow from operations was primarily driven by lower cash paid for interest and improvements in working capital. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2015 were $8.2 million, unchanged from prior year. Free Cash Flow, or cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, for the third quarter of 2015 was $52.0 million, as compared to $10.5 million in the prior year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage readers to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement.

The non-GAAP measurements used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Net Leverage:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision or benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) net foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses relating to financing activities, (v) losses on extinguishment of debt, (vi) share-based compensation expense, (vii) charges associated with restructurings and other cost reduction initiatives and (viii) other costs or credits that are either isolated or cannot be expected to recur with any regularity or predictability.
  • Adjusted Net Income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) net foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses relating to financing activities, (iii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iv) charges associated with restructurings and other cost reduction initiatives and (v) other costs or credits that are either isolated or cannot be expected to recur with any regularity or predictability. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.
  • Adjusted EPS is our Adjusted Net Income divided by a normalized number of shares outstanding, reflecting for all periods (i) the total number of shares of common stock outstanding following our initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, as well as (ii) the dilutive effect, if any, of the assumed exercise or conversion of instruments into common stock as determined under GAAP.
  • Free Cash Flow is our net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures.
  • Net Debt is our total debt and capital lease obligations less (i) our cash and cash equivalents on hand and (ii) our compensating cash balance, if any.
  • Net Leverage is calculated by taking (i) Net Debt, and dividing it by (ii) our Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve-month period ("LTM Adjusted EBITDA").

Reconciliations of these measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included at the end of this press release.

In this earnings release, we also refer to (i) changes in our revenues before the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as our "constant currency" results and (ii) changes in our revenues before the effects of recent acquisitions and prior to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as our "organic" results.
