Clearwater Paper Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results
Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2019.
The company reported net sales of $452.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, which were $19.9 million or 4.6% higher than net sales of $432.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase was due to record quarterly paperboard shipments and sales, higher retail tissue shipments and higher paperboard and tissue pricing from previously announced price increases. These items were partially offset by lower non-retail tissue shipments primarily resulting from the sale of the company's mill in Ladysmith, Wisconsin in August 2018.
Net loss determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the second quarter of 2019 was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the second quarter of 2018 of $7.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. The decrease in net earnings was due to maintenance costs at the company's Shelby, North Carolina, Cypress Bend, Arkansas and Lewiston, Idaho mills, costs associated with the start-up of the company's new paper machine and converting lines at its North Carolina mill and higher depreciation and interest expense, partially offset by the favorable impact of higher shipment volumes and pricing. Excluding certain non-core items identified in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, second quarter 2019 adjusted net loss was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2018 adjusted net earnings of $7.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, were $42.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $42.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $43.9 million, compared to second quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $43.8 million despite the sale of the Ladysmith mill.
“We delivered a solid second quarter with record paperboard shipments and sales, and higher shipments of converted retail tissue, compared to the first quarter of 2019," said Linda K. Massman, president and chief executive officer. "Partially offsetting those results were the start-up costs related to our new paper machine in Shelby, North Carolina, which is progressing well and is expected to reach its full production run rate in late 2020. In addition, we recently completed the refinancing of our secured revolving credit facility with a seven-year Term Loan B and an asset based revolving credit facility, which will provide us the operational flexibility and liquidity needed as we focus on generating free cash flow to de-lever our balance sheet.”
SECOND QUARTER 2019 SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
Consumer Products
Net sales in the Consumer Products segment were $224.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, up 1.2% compared to second quarter 2018 net sales of $221.6 million. This increase was due to higher retail tissue volumes sold, higher average prices for both retail and non-retail tissue products and a favorable mix shift to a higher percentage of retail and ultra-quality products, partially offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Ladysmith, Wisconsin mill in August 2018.
Segment operating loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted operating loss was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $2.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increased operating loss was primarily due to Shelby start-up costs, higher depreciation expense resulting from the completion of the Shelby mill expansion and higher pulp costs, which were partially offset by lower transportation costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, up from $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to improved retail shipment volumes, pricing and mix, partially offset by the start-up costs for the new paper machine and converting lines at the Shelby mill, planned maintenance at the Shelby mill and the divestiture of the Ladysmith mill.
Tissue Sales Volumes and Prices:
- Total tissue volumes sold were 82,798 tons in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 7,588 tons or 8.4% compared to 90,386 tons in the second quarter of 2018. The percentage of retail volumes rose to 92% of total volumes sold in the second quarter of 2019, up from 81% in the second quarter of 2018. Converted product cases shipped increased to 12.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, a 3.8% increase compared to the 12.0 million cases shipped in the second quarter of 2018.
- Average tissue net selling prices increased 9.8% to $2,691 per ton in the second quarter of 2019, due to a significant reduction in parent roll sales resulting from the divestiture of the Ladysmith mill, previously announced price increases and a higher mix of ultra-quality tissue products. This compares to $2,451 per ton in the second quarter of 2018.
Pulp and Paperboard
Net sales in the Pulp and Paperboard segment reached a record high of $227.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, up 8.1% compared to second quarter 2018 net sales of $210.5 million. The increase was due to record shipment volumes resulting from strong demand and the benefit of higher prices from previously announced increases.
Segment operating income and margin for the second quarter of 2019 were $33.6 million and 14.8%, compared to $34.2 million and 16.2%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $43.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $43.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to planned maintenance at the Arkansas mill and unplanned maintenance at the Idaho mill, partially offset by higher shipment volumes and prices.
Paperboard Sales Volumes and Prices:
- Paperboard sales volumes were a record 225,188 tons in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 4.0% compared to 216,582 tons in the second quarter of 2018.
- Paperboard average net selling price increased 3.3% to $1,004 per ton for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $972 per ton in the second quarter of 2018.
Taxes
The company's consolidated GAAP tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was a provision of 114.6%, compared to a provision of 26.5% in the second quarter of 2018. Tax effected items reflecting the cumulative impact of the annual effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2019 have a greater impact on a percentage basis of the $2.9 million of earnings before taxes compared to $9.5 million of pre-tax earnings in the second quarter of 2018.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, including adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net earnings, net earnings per diluted share and operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company presents these non-GAAP amounts because management believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, the company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's business strategies, and (iii) because the company's credit agreement and the indentures governing the company's outstanding notes use metrics similar to EBITDA to measure the company's compliance with certain covenants.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the cash generating capacity of the company. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBITDA is net (loss) earnings adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. It should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP. |
|
2 |
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the items listed that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. |
|
3 |
In 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires all net periodic pension and postretirement costs other than service cost to be presented on a line outside of operating income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company is excluding these non-operating costs from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The corresponding prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. |
