Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2020 financial results, provided first quarter 2021 earnings guidance, and provided an update on key strategic initiatives.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights
- Net sales were $339.7 million compared to $287.2 million in the third quarter; value-added sales increased 14% sequentially to $190.8 million
- Net income of $0.39 per share, diluted; adjusted earnings of $0.70 per share (including a $.06 per share increase from the change to FIFO accounting), up for the third consecutive quarter
-
Advanced several key strategic initiatives including:
- Completed full quarter of shipments for the new precision clad engineered strip project
- Continued Optics Balzers integration, creating a world leader in precision optics
- Completed closure of LAC business; and
- Finalized restructuring in PAC to streamline operations and improve cost structure
“Our primary concern throughout the global pandemic has been for the health, safety and well-being of our people, while ensuring the continuity of essential operations to deliver for our customers. We continue to be guided by the recommendations of both national and global healthcare organizations in making important COVID-19 decisions,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Vijayvargiya continued, “I am very pleased with the team’s performance in the fourth quarter, as we delivered sales and earnings growth for the third consecutive quarter and continued to execute on our key strategic initiatives. The significant precision clad engineered strip growth opportunity remains on schedule. To date, we have received $58.8 million of prepayments from the customer in support of our new manufacturing facility. In addition, we made meaningful progress on a number of other strategic initiatives that are important for our future.”
FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $339.7 million, compared to $280.2 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Fourth quarter value-added sales of $190.8 million were up 14% from the third quarter of 2020. Strong performance in the defense and semiconductor end markets, sales to the new precision clad engineered strip customer and final sales of blood glucose test strip products from our LAC business drove the growth on a sequential basis.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter was $6.8 million, and net income was $8.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million and net income of $5.5 million in the third quarter. The fourth quarter operating results include a pretax adjustment of $1.6 million of income related to the Company’s decision to change from the last-in, first out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting to the first-in, first out (FIFO) method of inventory accounting. The change was made to reflect more closely the physical flow of goods, to provide more uniformity across a significant majority of the Company’s inventory and to improve comparability with peers. Prior quarters were also adjusted to reflect this accounting change (detailed in the attached tables).
Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted earnings before interest and tax expense were $18.7 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $4.6 million versus the third quarter, $2.9 million of which resulted from the change from LIFO to FIFO inventory accounting. Improved sales performance was the primary driver of the balance of the increase. Adjusted net income was $14.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, an increase of 40% compared to $0.50 per share in the third quarter.
FULL-YEAR 2020 RESULTS
Net sales were $1.2 billion, flat versus 2019. Value-added sales of $678.6 million were down 8% from $733.7 million from the prior year. Strong performance in the semiconductor end market and incremental sales related to the acquisition of Optics Balzers were more than offset by reduced demand throughout 2020 in several of our other key end markets due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the aerospace and defense, energy, and industrial end markets.
Operating profit for the full year was $8.2 million, and net income was $15.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $70.5 million and net income of $53.4 million, or $2.59 per share, in 2019.
Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted earnings before interest and tax expense were $55.4 million in 2020, down from the prior year amount of $85.8 million. The year over year decrease in earnings was primarily driven by lower volume, partially offset by aggressive cost control efforts. Adjusted net income was $41.8 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, as compared to $3.32 per diluted share in 2019.
OUTLOOK
Predicting full year demand levels continues to be extremely challenging with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we are providing guidance for the first quarter of 2021. Based on current demand levels, we expect adjusted earnings per diluted share in the first quarter to be in the range of $0.58 to $0.62 per share, an increase of over 50% from the first quarter of 2020.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 and 5 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.
The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

*Prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the change in inventory method, as described in the attached press release. | |||||||||||||||||||
In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 4, we have adjusted the results for certain special items such as non-cash impairment charges, mine development costs, forfeiture of certain non-cash stock-based compensation, non-cash inventory adjustments, cost reduction initiatives (i.e., severance), COVID-19 related costs, merger and acquisition costs, foreign currency hedge gains, legacy legal and environmental costs, and certain discrete income tax items from the applicable GAAP financial measure. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
