February 17, 2022

Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2021 financial results, provided 2022 earnings guidance, and shared an update on key strategic initiatives.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Net sales were $397.2 million; value-added sales increased 27% year over year to a record $237.4 million
  • Operating profit was $15.5 million; adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was a record at $28.1 million, or 11.8% of value-added sales, a 180-basis point margin expansion year over year
  • Net income of $0.95 per share, diluted; adjusted earnings per share of $1.03, up 47% year over year

Full Year 2021 Highlights

  • Net sales were $1.5 billion; value-added sales were a record $859.7 million, up 29% from the prior year
  • Operating profit was $77.1 million; record adjusted EBIT of $99.4 million, an increase of 79% over prior year
  • Net income of $3.50 per share, diluted; record adjusted earnings per share of $3.81, up 88% from prior year
  • Completed transformational acquisition of HCS-Electronic Materials, largest in company’s history
  • Completed construction of customer funded Precision Clad Strip facility positioning for step-change growth in 2022

“Our team continues to raise the bar for outstanding performance, meeting continued strong end market demand from our customers while also delivering the substantial benefits of our organic and inorganic growth initiatives,” Jugal Vijayvargiya, Materion President and Chief Executive Officer said. “The achievement of another record quarter caps off a record year where our strategic transformation and related initiatives aimed at delivering above market growth combined with improved pricing and operational excellence contributed to significantly higher earnings and enhanced margins.”

“We expect to deliver another record year in 2022, as the integrations of both HCS-Electronic Materials and Optics Balzers and the completion of our customer-funded precision clad strip project expand our access to high-growth, high value markets and applications,” Vijayvargiya added. “These initiatives, combined with the progress we’re making on numerous megatrend-aligned growth projects have us well-positioned for long-term sustainable growth.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $397.2 million, compared to $339.7 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Value-added sales of $237.4 million were a record for any quarter, up 27% from the prior year quarter, driven by strong performance across several major end markets including semiconductor, industrial and automotive, as well as the benefit of the HCS-Electronic Materials acquisition.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter was $15.5 million and net income was $19.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to an operating profit of $6.8 million and net income of $8.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the prior year period. Excluding special items, detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBIT was $28.1 million in the fourth quarter, another quarterly record and an increase of 50% versus the prior year period.

Adjusted net income was $21.4 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, an increase of 47% compared to $0.70 per share in the prior year period.

FULL-YEAR 2021 RESULTS

Net sales were $1.5 billion, an increase of 28% as compared to the prior year. Value-added sales of $859.7 million were up 29% from the prior year. Double-digit organic value-added sales growth across all major end markets, as well as incremental sales related to the acquisition of HCS-Electronic Materials drove the increase.

Operating profit for the full year was $77.1 million and net income was $72.5 million, or $3.50 per diluted share. Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted EBIT was $99.4 million, up 79% from the prior year of $55.4 million. The year-over-year increase in earnings was primarily driven by higher demand, improved pricing, and strong operating performance.

Adjusted net income was $78.8 million, or $3.81 per diluted share, as compared to $2.03 per diluted share in 2020, an increase of 88%.

OUTLOOK

With strong end market demand, organic outgrowth resulting from our customer initiatives, and the full year impact of our HCS-Electronic Materials acquisition, 2022 adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $4.80 to $5.20. Excluding acquisition related amortization, adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $5.30 to $5.70, an increase of 35% at the midpoint versus the comparable prior year metric.

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, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium 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. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company added ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium to its definition of value-added sales as the costs of these materials are treated as pass-through. Prior period value-added sales amounts have been recast to reflect this change. 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.

(1) Q4 2021 Tax Special Items include a $6.9 million valuation allowance reversal.

 

(2)Acquisition amortization was $2.5 million ($2.0 million net of tax) and $1.1 million ($1.1 million net of tax) in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Acquisition amortization was $5.8 million ($5.2 million net of tax) and $2.2 million ($2.1 million net of tax) for the full year of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

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, non-cash inventory adjustments, cost reduction initiatives (i.e., severance), COVID-19 related costs, merger and acquisition costs, certain foreign currency hedge gains, 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.
