$55.0 million cash generated from operations in the quarter; Net cash improves to $165.9 million

GAAP EPS $1.16 and adjusted non-GAAP EPS $1.28

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innospec Inc. (NASDAQ: IOSP) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Total revenues for the second quarter were $480.4 million, an increase of 3 percent from $467.6 million in the corresponding period last year. Net income for the quarter was $28.9 million or $1.16 per diluted share compared to $32.3 million or $1.29 cents per diluted share recorded last year. EBITDA for the quarter was $46.2 million compared to $52.9 million reported in the same period a year ago.

Results for this quarter include some special items, which are summarized in the table below. Excluding these items, adjusted non-GAAP EPS in the second quarter was $1.28 per diluted share, compared to $1.58 per diluted share a year ago.

Innospec had strong cash generation in the quarter with cash from operating activities of $55.0 million before capital expenditures of $17.3 million. We closed the quarter with net cash of $165.9 million, a substantial improvement on our position of $147.5 million at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Company paid its semi-annual dividend of 69 cents per common share and repurchased 5,887 of its common shares at a cost of $0.6 million.

EBITDA, income before income taxes and net income excluding special items, and related per-share amounts, are non-GAAP financial measures that are defined and reconciled with GAAP results herein and in the schedules below.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Patrick S. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer, said,

“This was another good overall quarter for Innospec. Sales grew and gross margins expanded on the prior year as strong results in Oilfield Services continued to partially offset weaker results in Performance Chemicals.

In Performance Chemicals, as expected, destocking and the ongoing sale of higher cost inventories negatively impacted volumes, mix and margins in the quarter. Despite our expectation that destocking and higher cost inventory headwinds will continue into the second half of 2023, we believe our new Personal Care contracts which began in the third quarter will support sequential improvement in operating income and margins. We do not anticipate any change in our customers’ long-term objectives to move to cleaner, higher performance chemistry, and we believe that our technology portfolio is well placed for growth in this transition.

In Fuel Specialties, further price action and slowing inflation offset the impact of lower volumes. The results this quarter were negatively impacted by an $8.0 million charge as we exited the Brazilian trading relationship where we previously reported inventory misappropriation.   We do not expect any further costs related to this matter, and we continue to pursue both legal and insurance recoveries. Excluding the Brazil charge, gross margins were unchanged versus the same quarter last year and remained in our target 32 to 35 percent range. We expect gross margins to continue in this range through the balance of 2023.

In Oilfield Services, strength in production chemicals and further sequential improvements in our other segments drove excellent results in the quarter. In the third quarter, we anticipate that sequential operating income will moderate, but we expect to remain on track for significant full year growth in 2023. We plan to continue pursuing topline and margin expansion opportunities across all oilfield segments.”

Performance Chemicals revenues of $127.8 million were down 24 percent from $169.0 million in the second quarter last year driven by a negative mix of 8 percent and a volume decline of 16 percent. Gross margins reduced by 8.6 percentage points from the same quarter last year to 17.2 percent. Operating income for the quarter of $9.2 million decreased 68 percent on the prior year.

Revenues in Fuel Specialties of $154.2 million for the quarter were down 13 percent from $176.4 million a year ago. A positive price/mix of 3 percent was offset by a 16 percent reduction in volumes. Gross margins of 29.1 percent were 3.2 percentage points below last year. Operating income of $17.1 million was down from $31.5 million a year ago. Adjusting for the $8.0 million impact of the Brazil charge, gross margins were 32.3 percent and operating income was $25.1 million in the quarter.

Revenues in Oilfield Services were $198.4 million for the quarter, up 62 percent from $122.2 million in the second quarter last year. Gross margins improved by 9.9 percentage points from the same quarter last year to 42.1 percent. Operating income of $28.0 million was a $23.5 million increase over the $4.5 million in the prior year.

Corporate costs for the quarter were $20.1 million, compared with $18.5 million a year ago, as acquisition-related and other costs were partially offset by lower share-based compensation accruals.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 21.0 percent compared to 23.6 percent in the same period last year as a consequence of the geographical location of taxable profits.

For the quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $55.0 million compared to an outflow of $7.5 million a year ago. As of June 30, 2023, Innospec had $165.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt.

Mr. Williams concluded,

“Our diversified business portfolio continued to perform very well against a backdrop of persistent destocking, higher cost inventory and conservative customer order patterns.   Excluding the $8.0 million Brazil charge which reduced our EPS by 21 cents, sales and EBITDA grew and gross margins improved on the prior year.

We remain excited by the medium to long-term opportunities in all our businesses. Our teams are focused on executing a variety of margin and efficiency improvement actions that we expect will benefit our performance.

Cash generation was excellent in the quarter, and our net cash position strengthened to over $165 million. With our debt-free balance sheet we continue to invest in organic growth, pursue complimentary M&A and return value to shareholders through dividend growth and share repurchases.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information presented in this press release includes financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures comprise EBITDA, income before income taxes excluding special items, net income excluding special items and related per share amounts together with net cash. EBITDA is net income per our consolidated financial statements adjusted for the exclusion of charges for interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Income before income taxes, net income and diluted EPS, excluding special items, per our consolidated financial statements are adjusted for the exclusion of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related costs, foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, legacy costs of closed operations and adjustment of income tax provisions. Net cash is cash and cash equivalents less total debt. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided herein and in the schedules below. The Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, these non-GAAP measures address questions the Company routinely receives from analysts and investors and the Company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. While the Company believes that such measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, investors should not consider them to be a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and do not provide a comparable view of the Company’s performance relative to other companies in similar industries. Management uses adjusted EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for which is GAAP EPS) and adjusted net income and EBITDA (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for which is GAAP net income) to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is GAAP net income and has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and net income excluding special items, and related per share amounts, to GAAP net income herein and in the schedules below.
