Solid Plant Nutrition North America results partially offset weakness
in Salt and Plant Nutrition South America; Maintaining full-year EPS
guidance.
Second-Quarter Highlights:
-
Salt earnings declined year-over-year due to carry-over impact of mild
winter weather
-
Plant nutrition business strengthening in North America while South
America pressured by delays in farmer purchases
-
Significant actions underway to reduce cost and streamline organization
-
Full-year EPS guidance remains unchanged
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2017--
Compass Minerals (NYSE: CMP) reported a second-quarter loss of $6.4
million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $6.3
million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.
“Despite a strong performance this quarter in our Plant Nutrition North
America business, our results were pressured by increased costs in the
Salt segment and sluggish plant nutrition sales in South America,” said
Fran Malecha, Compass Minerals’ president and CEO. “While this has been
a challenging period, I am pleased with the progress we have made in
positioning our plant nutrition business for growth and in aggressively
identifying areas across the company for cost reductions. Because of the
expected benefits of these efforts, our full-year earnings-per-share
guidance remains unchanged.”
Total revenue increased 35 percent to $228.0 million from $169.5 million
in the prior-year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by the
addition of $66.1 million in revenue from the acquisition of
Produquímica Indústria e Comércio S.A. (Produquímica) and a modest
increase in Plant Nutrition North America sales.
Consolidated operating income declined to $6.0 million in the second
quarter of 2017 from $15.5 million in the prior-year quarter as a result
of lower earnings in the Salt segment.

SALT SEGMENT
Salt segment
revenue in the second quarter of 2017 declined $10.1 million from
second-quarter 2016 results to $109.0 million, primarily due to a 16
percent year-over-year reduction in highway deicing revenue and a 2
percent decline in consumer and industrial revenue. The carry-over
impact of two consecutive mild winters resulted in a 10 percent decline
in second-quarter highway deicing sales volumes, while average sales
price for these products dropped 6 percent. A 4 percent reduction in
consumer and industrial sales volumes was offset partially by a 2
percent increase in average selling prices.
Salt segment operating earnings totaled $10.7 million compared to $23.3
million in the second quarter of 2016. In addition to lower revenue,
operating earnings and margin were pressured by a significant increase
in per-unit salt costs. Much of the increased costs resulted from lower
operating rates as the company adjusted its production plans to meet
lower expected demand for bulk and packaged deicing products.
Additionally, the on-going implementation of continuous mining at the
Goderich mine produced a short-term cost impact in the quarter.
Bid Season Update
Approximately 65 percent of the annual
North American highway deicing bidding process has been completed. The
company estimates that market-wide demand has contracted approximately 5
percent when compared to the 2016-2017 bid season, as average winter
weather in Canada muted bid volume declines resulting from very mild
winter in the U.S. The company’s bid season results to date indicate
that Compass Minerals’ expected average awarded bid price will decline 3
to 4 percent versus prior-season’s results.

PLANT NUTRITION NORTH AMERICA SEGMENT
Second-quarter
2017 revenue for the Plant Nutrition North America segment increased 6
percent from prior-year results to $50.5 million. This growth was driven
by a 5 percent year-over-year increase in sales volumes.
Plant Nutrition North America segment operating earnings surged 62
percent above second-quarter 2016 results to $7.6 million and generated
an operating margin of 15.0 percent compared to 9.8 percent in the
prior-year period. These improvements resulted from a 9 percent
reduction in per-unit costs as lower sulfate of potash (SOP)
manufacturing costs more than offset a modest rise in SG&A expense
related to increasing the innovation and commercialization capabilities
of the plant nutrition business.

PLANT NUTRITION SOUTH AMERICA SEGMENT
Second-quarter
revenue for the Plant Nutrition South America segment totaled $66.1
million, which was below company expectations primarily resulting from
delayed purchases of agriculture products in Brazil due to
slower-than-expected liquidation of 2016-2017 harvests. Second-quarter
operating earnings were $0.8 million. Additional historical information
for this segment can be found in the Second-Quarter 2017 Business Update
presentation at www.compassminerals.com/investorrelations.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Income
tax in the second quarter of 2017 resulted in a benefit of $1.5 million,
compared to an expense of $1.0 million in the 2016 second quarter.
Other expense totaled $1.8 million, compared to $0.9 million in the
prior-year quarter. This year-over-year change was primarily driven by
increased foreign exchange losses.
Year-to-date, the company has reduced long-term debt by approximately
$70 million.
RESTRUCTURING PLAN
The company
initiated a restructuring plan in July 2017 designed to reduce ongoing
costs and further streamline the organization. In addition to reducing
personnel, the company has reorganized its operations team to report
directly to the respective business units. These changes are expected to
drive more effective decision-making and greater efficiency. These
initiatives are expected to result in a charge of approximately $4
million in the third quarter of 2017. Combined with other cost-saving
actions taken in the first half of 2017, which resulted in charges of
$1.3 million, the company expects to achieve about $10 million in cost
reductions this year and approximately $20 million in ongoing savings
beginning in 2018.
OUTLOOK
Challenging market
fundamentals for the company's salt business are expected to result in
pricing pressure for deicing products during the second half of the
year, although the company expects Salt segment sales volumes to exceed
prior year results if winter weather conditions are average.
Given year-to-date results for Plant Nutrition North America, the
company has increased its sales volume expectations for full-year 2017.
Average selling prices for these products are expected to remain stable.
Operating margins, however, are expected to contract in the second half
of 2017 when compared to the first half of the year due to increased
depreciation expense related to the final commissioning of new assets at
the company's Ogden, Utah facility.
In the Plant Nutrition South America business, the company's sales
volumes have been negatively impacted by delayed and reduced purchasing
by the company's distribution customers, however sales of its
higher-value products sold directly to farmers have remained strong.
While this has reduced expected sales volumes for the year, the
continued growth of direct-to-farmer sales is anticipated to result in a
more profitable sales mix and improved operating margins when compared
to prior year.
Given these factors and the expected cost savings from its restructuring
program, the company is maintaining its earnings-per-share guidance for
full-year 2017 of $3.00 to $3.50.

Non-GAAP Measures
Management
uses a variety of measures to evaluate the company’s and its operating
segments’ performance. While the consolidated financial statements
provide an understanding of the company’s overall results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows, management analyzes components of
the consolidated financial statements to identify certain trends and
evaluate specific performance areas. In addition to using U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, management
uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for
items which management believes are not indicative of the company’s
ongoing operating performance (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate the
operating performance of the company’s core business operations because
its resource allocation, financing methods and cost of capital, and
income tax positions are managed at a corporate level, apart from the
activities of the operating segments, and the operating facilities are
located in different taxing jurisdictions, which can cause considerable
variation in net earnings. The company also uses EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA to assess its overall and operating segment operating performance
and return on capital against other companies, and to evaluate potential
acquisitions or other capital projects. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
not calculated under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for net earnings, operating earnings, cash flows or
other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of
overall profitability or liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude
interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, each
of which are an essential element of the company’s cost structure and
cannot be eliminated. Consequently, any measure that excludes these
elements has material limitations. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
frequently used as measures of operating performance, these terms are
not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of
calculation. The calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as used by
management is set forth in the following tables.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including without limitation statements about the company’s ability to
position itself for growth; cost reductions; results of the deicing
bidding process, including market-wide demand, bid volumes and bid
price; ability to increase plant nutrition business capabilities; its
expectations regarding its restructuring plan, including its ability
reduce costs, streamline the organization, drive effective
decision-making and greater efficiency, third quarter 2017 charges and
cost savings; pricing pressure for deicing products; sales growth, sales
mix and operating margins; and the company’s outlook for the second half
of 2017 and the full year of 2017, including its expectations regarding
earnings per share (“EPS”), volumes, average selling prices, operating
earnings margin, corporate and other expense, interest expense,
depreciation, depletion and amortization, capital expenditures and tax
rates. We use words such as “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,”
“likely,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,”
“forecast,” “outlook,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions
suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking
statements or forward-looking information. These statements are based on
the company’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. The
differences could be caused by a number of factors, including without
limitation (i) weather conditions, (ii) pressure on prices and impact
from competitive products, (iii) any inability by the company to fund
necessary capital expenditures or successfully implement any capital
projects, (iv) foreign exchange rates and the cost and availability of
transportation for the distribution of the company’s products, and (v)
the ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses. For further
information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect
the company’s business, see the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” sections of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2016 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 filed or to be filed
with the SEC. The company undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect future
events or developments. Because it is not possible to predict or
identify all such factors, this list cannot be considered a complete set
