Axiall Reports 1st Quarter 2014 Results

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2014-- Axiall Corporation (NYSE: AXLL) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The company reported net sales of $993.7 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to net sales of $1.1 billion reported for the first quarter of 2013. The company reported a Net loss attributable to Axiall of $11.6 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014, compared to Net loss attributable to Axiall of $3.5 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013. The company reported an Adjusted Net Loss of $5.3 million and Adjusted Loss per Share of $0.08 for the first quarter of 2014, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $45.1 million and Adjusted Earnings per Share of $0.75 for the first quarter of 2013. The company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $67.6 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $133.4 million for the first quarter of the prior year.

“Our first quarter results were challenged by the unusually cold weather and the outage at our PHH VCM facility,” said Paul Carrico, president and chief executive officer. “As we move into the second quarter, we expect the typical building products business seasonality and warmer weather to lead to improvement in demand, pricing and costs in our businesses. We have restarted the PHH VCM facility and expect to reach full operating rates later this quarter. Additionally, we remain focused on meeting our run rate synergy target of $140 million by the end of this year.”

Chlorovinyls

In the Chlorovinyls segment, first quarter 2014 net sales were $682.2 million compared to $614.5 million during the first quarter of 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by inclusion of 3 months of sales results from the PPG chemicals business we acquired in January 2013 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2 months in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by lower vinyls operating rates and vinyls sales volumes attributable to the outage at the company’s PHH VCM manufacturing facility as well as operating and logistical impacts of severe weather during the period. The segment posted Adjusted EBITDA of $76.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $134.2 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The $58.0 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher natural gas and maintenance costs, lower electrochemical unit (ECU) values, and the lower operating rates primarily driven by the outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility and the impact of severe weather on operating rates and logistics.

Building Products

In the Building Products segment, net sales were $154.7 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $162.2 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The net sales decrease was driven by the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar coupled with a 3 percent decrease in sales volume in Canada, partially offset by a 13 percent increase in U.S. sales volume. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the quarter decreased by 1 percent. The segment reported breakeven Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014, compared to negative $2.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the same quarter of the prior year. The $2.6 million increase was primarily due to improved conversion costs and lower selling, general and administrative costs.

Aromatics

In the Aromatics segment, net sales decreased to $156.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $284.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the segment recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million during the same quarter in 2013. The decreases in sales and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to lower export sales volumes of phenol driven by significant new phenol capacity additions in Asia during 2013, which also resulted in lower domestic cumene sales volume.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Axiall has supplemented its financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP with four non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted Net Income (Loss); (ii) Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; and (iv) net sales on a constant currency basis.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Axiall excluding adjustments for tax effected cash and non-cash restructuring charges and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, and sales of certain assets, certain purchase accounting and certain non-income tax reserve adjustments, professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and the merger with the chemicals business formerly owned by PPG (the “Merger”), costs to attain Merger-related synergies, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairments.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is calculated using Adjusted Net Income (Loss) rather than consolidated net income calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, cash and non-cash restructuring charges and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, and sales of certain assets, certain purchase accounting and certain non-income tax reserve adjustments, professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and the Merger, costs to attain Merger-related synergies, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairments, and interest expense related to the lease-financing transactions.

Axiall has supplemented its financial results with Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share because investors commonly use financial measures such as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as a component of performance and valuation analysis for companies, such as Axiall, that recently have engaged in transactions that result in non-recurring pre-tax charges or benefits that have a significant impact on the calculation of net income pursuant to GAAP, in order to approximate the amount of net income that such a company would have achieved absent those non-recurring, transaction- related charges or benefits. In addition, Axiall has supplemented its financial results with Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share because we believe these financial measures will be helpful to investors in approximating what Axiall’s net loss would have been absent the impact of certain non- recurring, pre-tax charges and benefits related to the Merger, the company’s issuance of its 4.875 Notes and the tender offer for, and related redemption of, its 9 percent notes. Axiall has supplemented its financial statements with Adjusted EBITDA because investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA as a main component of valuation analysis of cyclical companies such as Axiall.

In addition, Axiall may compare certain financial information including net sales on a constant currency basis. We present such information to provide a framework for investors to assess how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. To present this information, current and comparative prior period financial information for certain businesses reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rate in effect during the period, rather than the average exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and net sales on a constant currency basis are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, GAAP diluted earnings per share or net sales as measures of performance or to cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and net sales on a constant currency basis may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented in the tables set forth below.
