AgroFresh Solutions Reports Results for Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2019
Source: Business Wire
Quarterly performance primarily affected by a two-week apple harvest delay across the northern hemisphere, shifting substantial revenue to the fourth quarter.
Third quarter net sales were $49.0 million, a decrease of 28.7% (27% on a constant currency basis) versus the prior year period. Year-to-date net sales decreased 13.1% (11.2% on a constant currency basis) versus the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of Tecnidex decreased 1.2% on an absolute basis and increased 4.7% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 17.6% to $15.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, and decreased 7.7% when excluding nonrecurring items related to litigation, severance and M&A, versus the prior year period.
Net income of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to net income of $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $20.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $34.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, and was impacted by the northern hemisphere apple harvest delay.
AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. ("AgroFresh" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Jordi Ferre, Chief Executive Officer commented, “This season we were met with a delayed apple harvest in both the United States and Europe, making it difficult to compare our third quarter results to the prior year period, where we experienced an early harvest. Third quarter results are not representative of our expectations for the 2019 northern hemisphere season, which extends through the fourth quarter. The shift in sales from September to October caused October to become the largest revenue month of the year. We project that our full year 2019 net sales will be stable to down in the low-single digit percentage versus 2018, excluding any currency impact, and expect an improvement in our adjusted EBITDA margin for full year 2019 versus 2018.
“While the business was temporarily challenged in the third quarter due to the unforeseen delays, our diversification initiatives that are geared towards growth products such as Tecnidex, Harvista and FreshCloud all achieved constant currency growth in the year-to-date period. We remain focused on the controllable aspects of our business and are succeeding in our efforts to optimize operating costs and improve the capital structure. As we mentioned in the previous quarter, we expect to see a reduction of non-recurring expenses moving forward with the completion of the MirTech litigation on October 11, 2019. To that end, we are pleased with the jury’s favorable verdict against Decco Post-Harvest, Inc. and Decco’s parent company, UPL Limited, and look forward to resolving this matter permanently.”
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2019
Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 decreased 28.7%, to $49.0 million, compared to $68.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, which reduced revenue by $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, revenue decreased 27%. The net sales decrease was primarily the result of the delay in apple harvest timing across the northern hemisphere versus the prior year third quarter which saw an earlier and shorter harvest. Year-to-date net sales decreased 13.1% and on a constant currency basis decreased 11.2% compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit for the third quarter was $35.1 million compared to $52.0 million in the prior year period, and gross profit margin was 71.6% versus 75.7% in the prior year period. The lower gross margin was primarily a function of sales mix shift. Year-to-date gross profit margin was 71.1%, compared to 73.8% in the prior year period.
Research and development costs were $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by timing of projects. Year-to-date research and development expenses decreased $0.6 million to $9.7 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 17.6%, to $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $18.2 million in the prior year period. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million in the current quarter and $3.7 million in the prior year quarter of costs associated with non-recurring items that included M&A, litigation and severance. Excluding these items, selling general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 7.7% in the third quarter versus the prior year period, which reflects the Company's ongoing cost optimization initiatives. On a year-to-date basis, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6.2% and excluding non-recurring items by 7.5% versus the prior year period.
Third quarter of 2019 net income was $3.3 million, compared to net income of $3.5 million in the prior year period. Year-to-date net loss was $31.6 million, compared to net loss of $27.9 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $20.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $34.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by lower sales, partially offset by improved cost structure. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased by $10.8 million, or 25.4%, to $31.7 million.
As of September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $18.7 million.
Background on Favorable Patent Infringement Verdict
On October 11, 2019 AgroFresh was awarded a verdict of $31.1 million in damages by a jury in the United States District Court in Delaware in its litigation against Decco Post-Harvest, Inc. and Decco’s parent company, UPL Limited. The award is subject to any appeals that may be taken by the parties in the future. The verdict included a determination that UPL and Decco had willfully and maliciously misappropriated AgroFresh trade secrets, willfully infringed an AgroFresh patent, converted AgroFresh property, engaged in unfair competition, and interfered with AgroFresh’s contractual relationships.
In an earlier ruling in June 2017, the Delaware Court had determined that AgroFresh was the owner of the TruPick patent, which had been developed by AgroFresh’s former consultant as a part of a joint venture with Decco. In the Court’s written Opinion, the Court ruled that the relevant sections of the agreements between AgroFresh and its former consultant were “clear and unambiguous” and that under the terms of those agreements, AgroFresh’s former consultant automatically assigned to AgroFresh the TruPick patent and technology.

AgroFresh Solutions Reports Results for Second Quarter and First Half of 2019
Source: Business Wire
Net sales increased 15% to $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 6% to $60.1 million in the first half of 2019 versus the prior year periods.
Year to date 2019 selling, general and administrative expense was flat versus the prior year period, and decreased 7% versus the prior year period when excluding nonrecurring items related to litigation, severance and M&A.
Net loss of $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2019; compared to net loss of $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the $2.5 million loss on foreign currency exchange in the second quarter of 2019 and the $3.3 million gain in the prior year period, net loss on a year over year basis improved 9% for the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved $1.9 million from the prior year period to $(1.4) million in the second quarter and increased 41% in the first half of 2019.
AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. ("AgroFresh" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.
“Our second quarter marked the conclusion of a strong southern hemisphere season. We were able to generate a 15% increase in net sales for the second quarter, which was positively impacted by the delay in the southern hemisphere harvest that muted our first quarter growth of 1.5%. Net sales were driven by diversification initiatives to expand our Tecnidex platform, which grew 29% during the second quarter versus the prior year period due to targeted expansion into new southern hemisphere markets, and new sales of Harvista following regulatory approvals. We were pleased with the performance of SmartFresh, which experienced slight growth in spite of the smaller apple crop in the southern hemisphere versus the prior year,” commented Jordi Ferre, Chief Executive Officer. “Looking forward, we will accelerate our cost optimization measures in support of our broader efforts to demonstrate improved financial execution and enhance our ability to reduce debt. Notably, we anticipate a meaningful reduction in our non-recurring expenses, such as those related to litigation, with trial in our largest litigation matter scheduled for October. The resiliency of our business model is only enhanced by the greater diversification of our platform and we intend to leverage our new product pipeline to expand our presence in new and existing markets and drive organic growth.”
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2019
Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased 15%, to $21.2 million, compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, which reduced revenue by $0.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2018, revenue grew approximately 17%.
Within the Company’s core business, the increase in net sales was primarily driven by growth of Harvista in North America and Latin America, followed by growth of SmartFresh in Latin America due to a delayed harvest which shifted sales from the first quarter to the second. Tecnidex, the Company’s growing fungicides, waxes and coatings platform, realized 29% growth, with an emphasis in Europe. Additionally, the Company also experienced growth in its EthylBloc product and traction within its new FreshCloud analytics platform during the second quarter.
In the second quarter of 2019, gross profit increased 14.4% to $14.9 million compared to $13.0 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 70.3% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 70.7% in the second quarter of 2018. The lower gross margin was primarily a function of sales mix shift with growth of Harvista and Tecnidex during the quarter.
Research and development costs were $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $3.7 million in the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by timing of projects.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $15.6 million in the prior year period. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.0 million in the current quarter and $0.9 million in the prior year quarter of costs associated with non-recurring items that included M&A and litigation along with severance. Excluding these items, selling general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 3.7% in the second quarter which reflects the Company's ongoing cost optimization initiatives.
Second quarter of 2019 net loss was $22.3 million, compared to net loss of $18.4 million in the prior year period. Excluding the $2.5 million loss on foreign currency exchange in the second quarter of 2019 and the $3.3 million gain in the prior year period, net loss on a year over year basis improved 9% for the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved $1.9 million to $(1.4) million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $(3.3) million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher sales coupled with lower operating expenses, after adjusting for non-recurring items.
As of June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $35.9 million.
Financial Highlights for the First Half of 2019
Net sales for the first half of 2019 were $60.1 million, an increase of 6% versus the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange reduced revenue by $1.1 million for the first half of 2019; excluding this impact, revenue increased approximately 8%.
Gross profit margin was 70.7% for the year-to-date period, which compares to 71.4% in the year-ago period, which was in line with the Company’s expectation. The year over year change was a function of sales mix shift with growth of Harvista and Tecnidex.
Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million to $7.2 million in the first half of 2019 as a result of $0.5 million of severance costs associated with ongoing cost optimization initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially flat at $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30. There were non-recurring costs associated with M&A, litigation and severance in the amount of $5.2 million in the current year and $3.0 million in the prior year period. Excluding these items, selling general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 7.4% over the same period last year driven by ongoing cost optimization initiatives.
Net loss was $34.9 million in the first half of 2019 as compared to net loss of $31.4 million in the same period prior year, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange. There was a negative impact on foreign exchange of $2.9 million in the first half of 2019 versus a gain of $5.2 million on foreign exchange in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved by $3.2 million, or 41%, to $11.1 million in the first half of 2019 as compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher sales coupled with lower operating expenses, after adjusting for non-recurring items.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the information under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a description of Adjusted EBITDA and the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Measure
The following table sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s performance (including incentive bonuses and for bank covenant reporting), are more indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods. These non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following is reconciliation between the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss:
