Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT) today reported its financial
results for the second quarter 2024.
Second quarter net sales of $390.6 million declined 19%
primarily due to the repositioning of the Performance Chemicals
segment which included reducing exposure to certain markets in the
Industrial Specialties product line. The decline was partially
offset by higher sales in Performance Materials due to improved
pricing and strong automotive carbon volumes.
The net loss of $283.7 million and diluted loss per share of
$7.81 is primarily due to a Performance Chemicals non-cash goodwill
impairment charge of $349.1 million. The impairment charge was the
result of internal analysis that reassessed expected cash flows of
the segment in light of current performance and expected lack of
near-term recovery in our Industrial Specialties product line,
resulting in lower volumes and profitability expectations. Adjusted
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
(EBITDA) was $101.3 million, down 16% with adjusted EBITDA margin
of 25.9%.
“As we move forward with transforming Performance Chemicals into
a more profitable and stable segment, we continue to see
Performance Materials deliver best-in-class results,” said John
Fortson, president and CEO. “The Advanced Polymer Technologies
segment experienced another quarter of volume growth and maintained
its strong margins. I am proud of the hard work our employees have
demonstrated as we navigate the uncertain pace of an industrial
recovery while we continue to reposition Performance Chemicals. The
effort and focus of our business leads and their teams delivered an
EBITDA margin of 26% for the quarter.”
Performance Materials
Sales in Performance Materials were $157.2 million in the
quarter, up 9% due to higher volumes in automotive end markets and
increased pricing. Segment EBITDA was $82.2 million, up 28%,
primarily reflecting lower input costs and improved operational
efficiency which drove lower energy usage, resulting in segment
EBITDA margins of 52.3%.
“Performance Materials results reflect our team's dedication and
commitment to increasing operational efficiency at the plants and
our commercial success in capturing value from our market-leading
gasoline vapor capture technology. We are encouraged to see
continued consumer demand for hybrid vehicles and view this as a
tailwind for the segment,” said Fortson.
Advanced Polymer Technologies
Sales in Advanced Polymer Technologies (APT) were down 10% to
$47.9 million as higher volumes were more than offset by lower
pricing. Segment EBITDA was $9.8 million, down 16% due to lower
pricing primarily in Asia, partially offset by lower input costs.
Segment EBITDA margin was 20.5%.
“We are seeing encouraging signs in APT as volumes were up both
year-over-year, and for the third consecutive quarter,” said
Fortson. “APT is geographically diverse. Europe is seeing a strong
rebound from last year’s lows with volumes approaching two-year
highs, while China demand continues to be relatively weak. The team
is also strategically pricing products to maintain volume in key
end markets. In addition, input costs have improved, and the team
continues to demonstrate good cost discipline, enabling the segment
to maintain 20% EBITDA margins.”
Performance Chemicals
Sales in Performance Chemicals were $185.5 million, down
35%.
Road Technologies product line sales of $129.1 million were down
8% from the record quarter last year primarily as a result of
unfavorable weather conditions in North America. Industrial
Specialties product line sales of $56.4 million were down 61% due
to the impact of the segment’s repositioning efforts which are
focused on reducing exposure to lower margin end markets, as well
as continued weakness in industrial demand.
Segment EBITDA was $9.3 million, reflecting the impact of
sharply higher crude tail oil (CTO) costs and low plant utilization
rates attributed to weak industrial demand, partially offset by the
impact of cost savings initiatives. Segment EBITDA margin was
5.0%.
“We are taking decisive actions in our repositioning efforts for
this segment to improve profitability by focusing on higher margin
end markets,” said Fortson. “We exited long-term supply agreements
for crude tall oil to provide the flexibility to respond to
changing market dynamics, diversify our raw materials and
suppliers, and optimize costs. And, we have rightsized our physical
footprint to meet the needs of the markets we serve. Higher cost
CTO will continue to impact the segment’s results this year and
into first quarter next year as we work through existing inventory,
but the segment is expected to have improved profitability
beginning in second quarter 2025 with more stable and predictable
growth.”
Liquidity/Other
Second quarter operating cash flow was $29.7 million with free
cash flow of $11.6 million, which includes the cash impact of $25.5
million in losses on CTO resales and $12.9 million of cash
restructuring charges. There were no share repurchases for the
quarter and $353.4 million remains available under the current $500
million Board authorization. Net leverage was 4.0 times as a result
of lower earnings, and also reflects a revision to previously
reported adjusted EBITDA to no longer exclude certain inventory
charges related to the Performance Chemicals repositioning efforts
per guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a
result, our March 31, 2024, first quarter adjusted EBITDA is lower
by $2.5 million to $74.4 million and our December 31, 2023, fourth
quarter adjusted EBITDA is lower by $19.7 million to $42.1 million.
For more details, please refer to the included financial
schedules.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
“We have taken additional actions to advance the repositioning
of the Performance Chemicals segment with a focus on sustained
profitability. Segment results this year will be challenged as a
result of high-cost CTO inventory, which we expect to work through
by the end of Q1 2025, and the lack of a rebound in industrial
demand, primarily impacting the Industrial Specialties product
line. In addition, weather conditions to date have been unfavorable
in North America and our guidance reflects some uncertainty
regarding the recovery of Road Technologies volumes in the second
half. The continued strength of Performance Materials and the
stability of APT will help offset the headwinds we face in
Performance Chemicals. We are revising our guidance of sales
between $1.40 billion and $1.50 billion, and our full year adjusted
EBITDA to between $350 million and $360 million,” said Fortson.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures: This press release
includes certain non‐GAAP financial measures intended to
supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliations of non‐GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial
measures are provided within the Appendix to this press release.
Investors are urged to consider carefully the comparable GAAP
measures and the reconciliations to those measures provided. The
company does not attempt to provide reconciliations of
forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the comparable GAAP measure
because the impact and timing of the factors underlying the
guidance assumptions are inherently uncertain and difficult to
predict and are unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In
addition, Ingevity believes such reconciliations would imply a
degree of certainty that could be confusing to investors.

_______________
(1)
Segment EBITDA is the primary measure used
by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate the
performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments.
Segment EBITDA is defined as segment net sales less segment
operating expenses (segment operating expenses consist of costs of
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and
technical expenses, other (income) expense, net, excluding
depreciation and amortization). We have excluded the following
items from segment EBITDA: interest expense associated with
corporate debt facilities, interest income, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other income
(charges), net, inventory lower of cost or market charges
associated with restructuring actions, goodwill impairment charge,
acquisition and other-related income (costs), litigation verdict
charges, gain (loss) on strategic investments, loss on CTO resales,
pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment income
(charges), net.
(2)
For more information on these charges,
refer to the Reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings table on page
10.
(3)
The table below provides an allocation of
these charges between our three reportable segments to provide
investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with
the information, should they choose, to apply such (income) charges
to each respective reportable segment for which the charges
relate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ingevity has presented certain financial measures, defined
below, which have not been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and has provided
a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure
calculated in accordance with GAAP on the following pages. These
financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation nor
as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors should consider the
limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the
potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company
to another.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management
as well as investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and
others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the
business, because such measures, when viewed together with our
financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more
complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our
historical financial performance, liquidity measures, and projected
future results.
Ingevity uses the following non-GAAP measures:
Adjusted earnings (loss) is defined as
net income (loss) plus restructuring and other (income) charges,
net, goodwill impairment charge, acquisition and other-related
(income) costs, pension and postretirement settlement and
curtailment (income) charges, loss on CTO resales, (gain) loss on
strategic investments, debt refinancing fees, litigation verdict
charges, and the income tax expense (benefit) on those items, less
the provision (benefit) from certain discrete tax items.
Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per
share is defined as diluted earnings (loss) per common share plus
restructuring and other (income) charges, net, per share, goodwill
impairment charge per share, acquisition and other-related (income)
costs per share, pension and postretirement settlement and
curtailment (income) charges per share, loss on CTO resales per
share, (gain) loss on strategic investments per share, debt
refinancing fees per share, litigation verdict charge per share,
and the income tax expense (benefit) per share on those items, less
the provision (benefit) from certain discrete tax items per
share.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net
income (loss) plus interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for
income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other
(income) charges, net, goodwill impairment charge, acquisition and
other-related (income) costs, litigation verdict charges, (gain)
loss on strategic investments, loss on CTO resales, and pension and
postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges,
net.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as
Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the sum
of net cash provided by (used in) the following items: operating
activities less capital expenditures.
Net Debt is defined as the sum of
notes payable, short-term debt, current maturities of long-term
debt and long-term debt including finance lease obligations less
the sum of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash associated
with our new market tax credit financing arrangement, and
restricted investment associated with certain finance lease
obligations, excluding the allowance for credit losses on
held-to-maturity debt securities held within the restricted
investment.
Net Debt Ratio is defined as Net Debt
divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of
acquisition-related pro forma adjustments.
Ingevity's management also uses the above financial measures as
the primary measures of profitability and liquidity of the
business. In addition, Ingevity believes Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures because they exclude the
effects of financing and investment activities as well as
non-operating activities.
GAAP Reconciliation of 2024 Adjusted EBITDA
Guidance
A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected
for 2024 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as
it cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with
certainty various components of net income. These components, net
of tax, include further restructuring and other income (charges),
net; additional acquisition and other-related (income) costs;
litigation verdict charges; additional pension and postretirement
settlement and curtailment (income) charges; and revisions due to
legislative tax rate changes. Additionally, discrete tax items
could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of
these components could significantly impact such financial
measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar
characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA,
that have a similar impact on the comparability of periods, and
which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted
EBITDA.

Due to the DeRidder Plant closure, as
noted in footnote 1 above, and the corresponding reduced CTO
refining capacity, we were obligated, under an existing CTO supply
contract, to purchase CTO through 2025 at amounts in excess of
required CTO volumes. As of July 1, 2024, we have terminated the
CTO supply contract that resulted in these excess CTO volumes. As a
result of the termination of this contract the purchases under the
CTO supply contract ended, effective June 30, 2024. Therefore, we
are no longer required to purchase this excess CTO volume through
2025, and as such, we expect to end our CTO resale activity by the
end of 2024. Updates will be provided in subsequent filings of the
Company's Form 10-Q in 2024.
(5)
We exclude gains and losses from strategic
investments from our segment results, as well as our non-GAAP
financial measures, because we do not consider such gains or losses
to be directly associated with the operational performance of the
segment. We believe that the inclusion of such gains or losses,
would impair the factors and trends affecting the historical
financial performance of our reportable segments. We continue to
include undistributed earnings or loss, distributions, amortization
or accretion of basis differences, and other-than-temporary
impairments for equity method investments that we believe are
directly attributable to the operational performance of such
investments, in our reportable segment results.
(6)
Income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments
is the summation of the calculated income tax charge related to
each pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment. The non-GAAP adjustments relate
primarily to adjustments in the United States. As such, the income
tax effect is calculated using the statutory tax rates of 21% for
the United States and approximately 2.5% for state and local taxes,
applied to the non-GAAP adjustments.

Represents certain discrete tax items such
as excess tax benefits on stock compensation and impacts of
legislative tax rate changes.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)

Our restricted investment is a trust

obligation associated with Performance Materials' Wickliffe,

Restricted investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets,
originally purchased long-term bonds that mature through 2026. The
principal received at maturity of the bonds, along with interest
income that is reinvested in the trust, are expected to be equal to
or more than the $80.0 million finance lease obligation that is due
in 2027. Excludes $0.1 million allowance for credit losses on
held-to-maturity debt securities.

Calculation of Net Debt Ratio
(Non-GAAP)
We revised our December 31, 2023 non-GAAP Net debt ratio
calculation to remove the previous adjustment of $19.7 million from
the three months ended December 31, 2023, from the last twelve
months Adjusted EBITDA related to inventory lower of cost or market
charges associated with the Company's Performance Chemicals'
repositioning. This change was made to address a request from the
Securities and Exchange Commission to revise future filings to no
longer exclude these adjustments from non-GAAP performance
measures. The following table presents the period ended December
31, 2023 as previously reported and as revised.
