NEW YORK, May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX ) today reported first quarter diluted earnings per share of $1.07, excluding special items.  Reported earnings were $0.97 per share.             “We had a solid first quarter. All of our businesses performed well and we continued to expand the Company’s operating margins,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chief Executive Officer. “We saw significant growth across all of our businesses in China this quarter and continue to grow our PCC business throughout Asia with the signing of an agreement for an additional 165,000 tons in Indonesia,” said Mr. Dietrich.             Worldwide net sales in the first quarter were $405.0 million compared with $410.2 million in 2016.  Operating income, as reported, was $61.7 million and represented 15.2 percent of sales, as compared with $57.6 million, or 14.0 percent of sales in the prior year. Consolidated income from operations, excluding special items, grew 6 percent to $63.5 million compared with $60.1 million in the prior year. Operating margins, excluding special items, improved 7 percent to 15.7 percent of sales from 14.7 percent of sales in the prior year as productivity improved 8 percent over last year. 

During the first quarter, the Company announced the reorganization of its Performance Materials and Construction Technologies businesses into one operating segment – Performance Materials, consisting of five focused product lines to improve customer alignment and to accelerate growth.

Sales in the Minerals businesses, which include the Specialty Minerals and Performance Materials segments, increased slightly to $316.1 million.  Operating income for the Minerals businesses was $53.2 million and represented 16.8 percent of sales compared with 17.1 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2016.

Sales in the Performance Materials segment increased 6 percent to $169.9 million compared with $159.6 million in the prior year. Sales in the Metalcasting product line increased 11 percent to $66.6 million principally due to higher volumes in China. Basic Minerals sales increased 67 percent due primarily to higher bulk sales of chromite. Household, Personal Care and Specialty Products sales were lower due to lower Fabric Care sales in China.  In addition, Building Materials and Environmental Products sales were lower due to severe weather conditions impacting several large projects in the western United States. Operating income increased 2 percent to $28.8 million and represented 17.0 percent of sales.  The Performance Materials segment provides a wide range of bentonite-based and synthetic materials for industrial and consumer markets and for non-residential construction, environmental remediation and infrastructure projects worldwide.

First quarter worldwide sales for the Specialty Minerals segment, which consists of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product lines, were $146.2 million. Income from operations for the segment was $24.4 million, and operating margin improved slightly to 16.7 percent of sales.

Worldwide sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, were $93.4 million compared with $103.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in sales was due to several plant shutdowns which occurred in 2016 and was partially offset by 9 percent higher sales in China.  

First quarter net sales of Processed Minerals products were $35.8 million, the same level as the prior year.  Ground Calcium Carbonate sales increased 4 percent and Talc sales decreased 5 percent from the prior year. Processed Minerals products are used in the building materials, polymers, ceramics, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries.

The Service-related businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services segments, had a strong quarter despite continued weakness in the energy sector. Sales of $88.9 million in the first quarter were 6 percent lower than the same period last year. Operating income for the Service-related businesses, excluding special items, increased 47 percent to $11.2 million in the current year and was 12.6 percent of sales compared with 8.0 percent of sales last year.

First quarter sales in the Refractories segment, which provides products and services primarily to the worldwide steel industry, increased 1 percent to $70.2 million compared with $69.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. Higher volumes of Refractories Products and increased equipment sales were partially offset by lower sales of Metallurgical Products. The Refractories segment operating income, excluding special items, increased 33 percent to $9.2 million, and was 13.1 percent of sales compared with 10.0 percent of sales in the prior year.

Energy Services segment sales were $18.7 million for the first quarter, a 28-percent decrease from the prior year, primarily due to the exit of certain on-shore service lines in the second quarter of 2016. Operating income, excluding special items, was $2.0 million compared with $0.7 million last year and represented 10.7 percent of sales as compared with 2.7 percent of sales in the prior year. Energy Services offers a range of patented technologies, products and services for off-shore filtration and well testing to the worldwide oil and gas industry.

The Company repaid $20 million of its Term Loan debt in the first quarter, for total repayments of $500 million over the past 11 quarters.  Additionally, in the first quarter of 2017, the Company refinanced the floating rate portion of its Term Loan facility, lowering the interest rate by 75 basis points and extending the maturity to 2024.

The Company incurred special charges in the quarter related to debt modification costs of $3.9 million and restructuring and acquisition-related integration costs of $1.8 million. The combined effect of these non-recurring items reduced earnings by $0.10 per share.

 “Our solid first quarter financial performance provides us with a good start to 2017,” said Mr. Dietrich. “We are well-positioned to grow earnings again this year.”

Minerals Technologies will host a conference call tomorrow, May 5, 2017 at 11 a.m. The conference call will be broadcast live on the company web site:  www.mineralstech.com .

  1 ) For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended April 2, 2017, December 31, 2016, and April 3, 2016 consisted of 92 days, 90 days, and 94 days, respectively.   
  2 ) On a regular basis, the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, in Q1 2017,  in order to generate greater alignment, speed decision making and accelerate growth, the Company reorganized the management structure for its Performance Materials and Construction Technologies business segments to better reflect the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated.  As a result, all of the product lines within these business segments were combined  into one operating segment.  Presented below are the restated financial results, by product line,  for each of the quarters of 2016 of this operating segment to conform to the current management structure.

The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

  5 ) Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures.  The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended April 2, 2017, December 31, 2016, and April 3, 2016 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods.  The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities.  Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.  The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

  To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income, excluding special items (set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended April 2, 2017, December 31, 2016,  and April 3, 2016,  constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above.  The Company's management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods.  The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
