SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 4, 2022
SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trecora Resources ("Trecora" or the "Company") (NYSE: TREC), a leading provider of specialty hydrocarbons and specialty waxes, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
"The first quarter of 2022 saw a continuation of the market dynamics Trecora experienced during the second half of 2021 as the Company recorded solid results driven by increased economic activity, which is supporting end market demand. Demand for solvents and specialty wax products, along with custom processing, remained strong during the first quarter, enabling Trecora to record top line growth of 52.4% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Specialty Petrochemical volumes improved 17.6% from the same period in the prior year, while wax volumes similarly grew 17%. Recall that last year's volumes were significantly impacted by the Texas freeze event. Average Specialty Petrochemical sales prices rose 31.6% from the prior year period as Trecora continued to implement pricing increases in order to keep pace with input pricing. Custom processing revenues at TC improved more than 50% to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period, while volumes of byproduct sales at SHR also expanded, gaining 45.2% from year-ago levels to 3.7 million gallons in the first quarter of 2022."
"We were particularly pleased to see volume growth in our Specialty Wax segment as input availability improved. That coupled with a favorable pricing environment yielded solid growth in segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022," stated Pat Quarles, Trecora's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Sami Ahmad, Trecora's Chief Financial Officer stated, "The Specialty Petrochemicals segment had a strong first quarter, which included expenses associated with a large maintenance turnaround. The turnaround was completed safely and successfully. The costs for the turnaround were greater than expected and totaled approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter. We expect a further $0.4 of turnaround related costs in the second quarter."
"Rising natural gasoline feedstock costs in the first quarter, coupled with higher product pricing, had a negative impact on our working capital. Inventory build ahead of the SHR turnaround allowed us to utilize some lower cost inventory, on a relative basis, during the quarter thereby further enhancing margins. We ended the quarter with cash balance of $31.9 million and debt of $40.9 million. Operating cash flow for the quarter was a strong $7.7 million," concluded Mr. Ahmad.
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $83.2 million, compared to $54.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. The 52.4% year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased volume compared with last year's quarter which was negatively impacted by the Texas freeze event. Price increases in both operating segments, resulting from strong end market demand and higher feedstock costs, also contributed to the positive year over year comparison.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2022 was $7.9 million, or 9.5% of total revenues, compared to $2.3 million, or 4.3% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2021 and $6.2 million, or 8.4% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2021.
