  • Higher average selling prices on a sequential quarter basis in both the Drainage and Water segments
  • Sold the U.S. concrete and steel pressure pipe business for a loss of $31.6 million that contributed to the net loss of $11.5 million for the quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $60.9 million, above the mid-point of the guidance range despite the impact of two major hurricanes
  • Ended the quarter with no outstanding balance on the Revolver

IRVING, Texas, Nov. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forterra, Inc. ("Forterra" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:FRTA), a leading manufacturer of water and drainage infrastructure pipe and products in the United States and Eastern Canada, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Results
Third quarter 2017 net sales increased to $444.3 million, compared to $441.1 million in the prior year quarter.  Net loss for the quarter was $11.5 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share, compared to net income of $8.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $60.9 million, compared to $80.4 million in the prior year quarter.  The estimated Adjusted EBITDA impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma was approximately $3.7 million including a $3.0 million impact to Drainage Pipe & Products ("Drainage") and $0.7 million impact to Water Pipe & Products ("Water"). 

Drainage net sales increased to $248.2 million, compared to $215.5 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to $28.4 million of net sales from acquisitions.  Net sales excluding the acquisitions grew year over year with organic growth in shipments partially offset by the negative impact of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.  Drainage gross profit was $51.8 million compared to $52.7 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher labor, freight and raw materials costs, that were not fully offset by an increase in selling prices.  Third quarter 2017 Drainage EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $47.3 million and $48.1 million, respectively, compared to $51.5 million and $51.8 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. 

Water net sales decreased to $196.0 million, compared to $225.6 million in the prior year quarter, despite higher selling prices of ductile iron pipe products.  The sale of the U.S. concrete and steel pressure pipe business effective July 31, 2017 reduced net sales by $8.9 million.  The balance of the net sales decline was due to lower net sales of concrete pressure pipe products in Canada and the impact of lower net sales of ductile iron pipe. The decline in net sales of Canada pressure pipe products was due to the completion of a large project in 2016. The decline in ductile iron pipe sales was due to the impact of Hurricane Irma and lower demand for infrastructure projects.  

Water gross profit in the third quarter was $30.9 million compared to $49.4 million in the prior year quarter.  Third quarter 2017 Water EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $(4.1) million and $28.4 million, respectively, compared to $43.6 million and $43.3 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter.  The declines in gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were due to the impact of lower profitability from both ductile iron pipe sales and concrete and steel pressure pipe sales.  

The ductile iron pipe portion of the Water segment was impacted by higher scrap costs that were not fully offset by an increase in selling prices of products sold. In Canada, the decline in Water EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower net sales of concrete pressure pipe products as a result of a large project that was completed in 2016.

($ in millions) Three Months Ended September 30,
  2017   2016
  (unaudited)   (unaudited)
Net Sales $ 10.8     $ 19.7

Adjusted EBITDA $ (2.4 )   $ (3.1 )
               

Consolidated SG&A costs were lower in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to lower consulting and professional fees during the quarter.

CEO Commentary
Forterra CEO Jeff Bradley commented, "Our results this quarter demonstrate our ability to successfully execute on multiple objectives on a sequential quarter basis, including higher selling prices, lower costs, and improved earnings.  Additionally, in spite of the impact of two major hurricanes, Adjusted EBITDA was above the mid-point of our guidance range.  My expectation for continued improvement in our earnings is supported by ongoing initiatives, a solid backlog and favorable market conditions."

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At September 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $41.1 million and outstanding debt on its senior term loan of $1.2 billion.  As of September 30, 2017, there was no outstanding balance on the Company's $300 million Revolver following an $80 million net pay down during the quarter.  The Company expects to continue to build its cash position through the end of 2017 reflecting the anticipated benefit of positive cash flow from working capital during the fourth quarter.

Financial Outlook
The Company expects that the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 will range from $16 million to $13 million and Adjusted EBITDA will range from $20 million to $25 million.  The guidance range anticipates delivering an improved year over year Adjusted EBITDA margin variance in Q4 2017 as compared to the prior quarter.  The guidance range also assumes a year over year decline in sales, including a $27 million decline in net sales associated with the divestiture of the U.S. concrete and steel pressure pipe business.  The Company expects to see higher sequential quarter SG&A reflecting the continued use of professionals in support of its Sarbanes-Oxley implementation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), in this earnings release we also present adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and have been presented in this earnings release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (earnings)/loss from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization and before impairment and restructuring charges, (gains)/losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment and certain other non-recurring income and expenses, such as transaction costs, inventory step-up impacting margin, non-cash compensation expense and costs associated with disposed sites.  Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are presented in this earnings release because they are important metrics used by management as one of the means by which it assesses our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are also important measures for assessing our operating results and evaluating each operating segment's performance on a consistent basis, by excluding the impacts of depreciation, amortization, income tax expense, interest expense and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin have certain limitations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated net income, and in the case of our segment results, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to EBITDA, which the chief operating decision maker reviews for purposes of evaluating segment profit, or in the case of any of the non-GAAP measures, as a substitute for any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Similarly, adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as an alternative to gross margin or any other margin calculated in accordance with GAAP.  These measures also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items for which these non-GAAP measures make adjustments. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations such as: (i) they do not reflect our cash outlays for capital expenditures or future contractual commitments; (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; (iii) they do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, or principal payments, on indebtedness; (iv) they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes; and (v) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.

Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use such measures or may calculate one or more of the measures differently than as presented in this earnings release, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments made in the calculations below and the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to mean that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by using adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
