Hexion Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

Hexion Inc. (“Hexion” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

“Despite weaker market conditions from the coronavirus pandemic, our volumes and Segment EBITDA steadily improved sequentially each month within the quarter,” said George Knight, Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “In addition to headwinds associated with COVID-19 that drove softer volumes, we also experienced a temporary manufacturing outage at our Pernis site, which negatively impacted our second quarter 2020 results by approximately $8 million. Within our Coatings & Composites segment, our specialty epoxy resins business reflected continued positive demand in wind energy, while the majority of the year-over-year decline was attributable to our base epoxy resins business. Within our Adhesives segment, both our global formaldehyde and resins businesses reflected headwinds from the pandemic. We remain focused on the health and safety of our associates, and continued to operate our manufacturing sites and our research and development facilities in the second quarter and, as of today, without interruption by leveraging social distancing and enhanced hygiene practices. Despite headwinds from COVID-19, our cash flow from operations improved significantly and we generated $54 million in free cash flow1 in the quarter, which was driven by our continued focus on managing our working capital.”

Mr. Knight added: "We continue to see an impact in the third quarter of 2020 from the pandemic, although our July volumes continued to improve sequentially compared to the prior month. Looking ahead, while we expect the coronavirus to negatively impact our results in the second half of 2020, we are encouraged by the resiliency of our customers in certain end markets, such as wind energy and North American residential construction. Our past restructuring initiatives over the last few years, as well as our current investments in productivity capital expenditures, and the current work with Capgemini has resulted in a leaner and more nimble organization. We remain focused on the things we can control and believe that our streamlined cost structure, along with a diversified portfolio and strong customer relationships, positions us for a solid rebound as demand eventually recovers.”

1 Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a liquidity measure used by the Company. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment. See Schedule 7 to this release for the Company's free cash flow by quarter.

Fresh Start Accounting

Upon emerging from Chapter 11 on July 1, 2019 ("Effective Date") and qualifying for the application of fresh-start accounting, Hexion's assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, were significantly different than amounts included in the Company's financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, Hexion's financial condition and results of operations on and after the Effective Date are not directly comparable to our financial condition and results of operations prior to the Effective Date. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date.

Second Quarter 2020 Results

In January 2020, Hexion updated its reportable segments to align around two growth platforms: Adhesives; and Coatings and Composites. The Adhesives Segment is organized around Construction Adhesives, Industrial Adhesives, and Intermediates and Derivatives, while the Coatings and Composites Segment is organized around Composites, Performance Coatings, and Base Chemicals. Corporate and Other continues to be a reportable segment. Total net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $628 million, a decrease of 30% compared with $892 million in the prior year period. Volume decreases in the second quarter of 2020 driven by COVID-19’s global economic impact across various industries and markets was the main driver of the decrease in net sales. Volume decreases negatively impacted net sales by $206 million, which was primarily related to volume decreases in the Company’s North American resins business due to weaker demand and in our base epoxy and phenolic resins businesses due to overall weakness in the market, primarily in the automotive and construction industries. Pricing negatively impacted sales by $41 million due primarily to raw material price decreases contractually passed through to customers across many businesses and softer market conditions in base epoxy resins. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by $17 million due to the weakening of various foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Net loss for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2020 was $42 million compared to a net loss of $108 million in the Predecessor three months ended June 30, 2019. Total Segment EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $65 million, a decrease of $47 million compared with the prior year period, driven primarily by driven primarily by weaker volumes throughout the portfolio due to the global pandemic and margin reductions in our base epoxy resins business due to competitive pressures partially offset by margin improvements in our global formaldehyde, Versatic™ Acids and Derivatives and specialty epoxy businesses.

Efficiency and Cost Savings Initiatives

Hexion recently announced creation of a business services group within Hexion and a partnership with Capgemini to provide certain administrative functions to further improve Hexion’s organizational efficiency and reduce costs. In the second quarter of 2020, Hexion began implementation with Capgemini to create a best-in-class organization that focuses on gaining efficiencies and process improvements by leveraging automation and state of the art technology for service delivery, while also reducing the Company’s costs in future years.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company achieved $8 million of cost savings related to its cost savings initiatives. At June 30, 2020, Hexion had approximately $11 million of total in-process savings that it expects to realize over the next 12 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, total debt was approximately $1.9 billion and consisted primarily of the Company’s approximately $1.2 billion Senior Secured Term Loans due 2026 and $450 million Senior Notes due 2027. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $479 million in liquidity, including $292 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, Hexion has no upcoming maturities on its term loan or notes until 2026. Hexion expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its ongoing operations for the next twelve months from cash on its balance sheet, cash flows provided by operating activities and amounts available for borrowings under its credit facilities.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Segment EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses. Segment EBITDA is an important measure used by the Company's senior management and board of directors to evaluate operating results and allocate capital resources among segments. Corporate and Other primarily represents certain corporate, general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the other segments. Segment EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income or other results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See Schedules 4 and 5 to this release for reconciliation of net loss to Segment EBITDA.

Pro Forma EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash and certain non-recurring items and other adjustments calculated on a pro forma basis, including the expected future cost savings from business optimization programs or other programs and the expected future impact of acquisitions, in each case as determined under the governing debt instrument. As the Company is highly leveraged, it believes that including the supplemental adjustments that are made to calculate Pro Forma EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the Company’s ability to comply with its financial covenants and to obtain additional debt in the future. Pro Forma EBITDA and Fixed Charges are not defined terms under U.S. GAAP. Pro Forma EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, Pro Forma EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, depreciation and amortization expense (because the Company uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue), working capital needs, tax payments (because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, it is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate), non-recurring expenses and capital expenditures. Fixed Charges under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes due 2027 should not be considered an alternative to interest expense. See Schedule 6 to this release for reconciliation of net income to Pro Forma EBITDA and the Fixed Charges Ratio.

Free cash flow is a liquidity measure used by the Company and is defined by the Company as net cash provided by (used in) operations, less capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment. We believe that free cash flow provides useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating the Company's liquidity and credit quality assessment because it provides an indication of the long-term cash generating ability of our business. See Schedule 7 to this release for the Company's free cash flow by quarter.

Net debt is defined by the Company as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that net debt provides useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating changes to the Company's capital structure and credit quality assessment. See Schedule 8 to this release for the Company's net debt by quarter.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
