Omega Protein Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

 

HOUSTON, TX – August 2, 2017 – Omega Protein Corporation (NYSE:OME), a nutritional product company and a leading integrated provider of specialty oils and specialty protein products, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

 

Revenues: $93.9 million, compared to $112.7 million in the same period a year ago

 

Gross profit margin: 24.0%, compared to 29.6% in the same period a year ago

 

Net income: $7.4 million, or $7.6 million on an adjusted basis, compared to $5.7 million, or $14.1 million on an adjusted basis, in the same period a year ago

 

Earnings per diluted share: $0.32, or $0.34 on an adjusted basis, compared to $0.25, or $0.62 on an adjusted basis, in the same period a year ago

 

Adjusted EBITDA: $18.5 million, compared to $28.6 million in the same period a year ago

 

Results for our human nutrition segment continued to improve in the second quarter, although softer pricing and a slower than average start to the fishing season impacted animal nutrition segment results,” commented Bret Scholtes, Omega Protein’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As of June 30 we were less than halfway through our fishing season, and given recent improvements in weather we are looking forward to the balance of the season. In addition, while global quotas have pressured fish meal and fish oil prices, we believe these near-term volatilities are transitory in nature, and the macro-economic and industry trends that continue to drive positive demand for our products give us confidence in our long-term opportunities.”

 

Mr. Scholtes concluded, “Our management team and board of directors remain focused on strategically aligning our human nutrition segment to best generate financial results and create value for shareholders. We continue to make progress on our previously announced strategic review of the human nutrition business segment and will provide you with further updates as appropriate on this ongoing effort.”

 

Second Quarter 2017 Results

The Company’s revenues decreased 17% from $112.7 million in the same period last year to $93.9 million, due to a decrease of $24.5 million in animal nutrition revenues, partially offset by a $5.7 million increase in human nutrition revenues. The decrease in animal nutrition revenues was primarily due to decreased sales volumes of 18% and 30% for the Company’s fish oil and fish meal, respectively, and decreased sales prices of 12% and 1% for the Company’s fish oil and fish meal, respectively. The decreases in fish oil and fish meal sales volumes were primarily due to the timing of contracts, a lower level of beginning inventory and a decreased level of production as a result of lower fish catch compared to the prior year period. The decrease in fish oil sales prices was primarily due to prevailing market conditions, including global supply and demand, at the time sales contracts were entered into. The increase in human nutrition revenues was primarily a result of increased specialty oil sales, most notably coconut oil. The composition of revenues by nutritional product line for the second quarter of 2017 was 32% fish meal, 29% fish oil and 39% human nutrition.

 

Second quarter of 2017 revenues increased 28% from $73.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $93.9 million. This increase was due to $17.2 million and $3.1 million increases in animal nutrition and human nutrition revenues, respectively. The increase in animal nutrition revenues was due to seasonally increased sales volumes of 415% for fish oil, partially offset by a predominately product mix-driven 41% decrease in fish oil sales prices and a 4% decrease in fish meal prices. The increase in human nutrition revenues was primarily a result of increased specialty oil and protein product sales.

 

 

 

 

The Company reported gross profit of $22.5 million, or 24.0% as a percentage of revenues, for the second quarter of 2017, versus $33.4 million, or 29.6% as a percentage of revenues, in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to a decrease in the animal nutrition segment, partially offset by an increase in the human nutrition segment. Animal nutrition gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 37.4% to 26.6%, due primarily to a decrease in sales prices and an increase in the cost per unit of sales as a result of lower anticipated fish catch and production volumes for the 2017 fishing season. Human nutrition gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 9.2% to 19.8% primarily due to increased gross profit as a percentage of revenues for specialty oils.

 

Compared to the first quarter of 2017, the second quarter of 2017 gross profit increased from $20.2 million to $22.5 million, and as a percentage of revenues, second quarter 2017 gross profit decreased from 27.4% to 24.0%. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to a decrease in the animal nutrition segment, partially offset by an increase in the human nutrition segment. Animal nutrition gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 35.4% to 26.6%, due to a decrease in sales prices and an increase in the cost per unit of sales. Human nutrition gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 18.0% to 19.8% primarily as a result of increased gross profit as a percentage of revenues for protein products.    

 

Selling, general and administrative expense, including research and development expense (“SG&A”), for the second quarter of 2017 decreased to $10.3 million compared to $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower professional and labor expenses. SG&A decreased from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to lower professional expenses.

 

The Company recorded a $0.4 million loss on foreign currency for the second quarter of 2017 compared to a $0.1 million gain on foreign currency in the second quarter of 2016 and a loss on foreign currency of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 related to Bioriginal Food & Science.

 

The Company recorded goodwill impairment expenses in the second quarter of 2016 of $11.6 million related to the Wisconsin Specialty Protein business in the human nutrition segment. There were no impairment charges recognized in the second or first quarters of 2017.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $7.4 million ($0.32 per diluted share) compared to $5.7 million ($0.25 per diluted share) in the same period last year and $6.1 million ($0.27 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding adjustments for certain items, adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $7.6 million ($0.34 per diluted share), compared to $14.1 million ($0.62 per diluted share) in the same period last year and $6.0 million ($0.26 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2017.

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $18.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $28.6 million for the same period last year and $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2017.

 

Six Month 2017 Results

Revenues in the first six months of 2017 decreased 15% to $167.5 million compared to $197.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in revenues was due to a $34.7 million decrease in animal nutrition revenues partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in human nutrition revenues. The decrease in animal nutrition revenues was primarily due to decreased sales volumes of 28% and 21% for the Company's fish oil and fish meal, respectively, and decreased sales prices of 6% for the Company's fish oil; fish meal prices did not change significantly. The decrease in fish oil and fish meal sales volumes was primarily due to the timing of contracts and a lower level of beginning inventory and production as a result of lower fish catch compared to the prior year period. The decrease in fish oil sales prices was primarily due to prevailing market conditions such as global supply and demand at the time sales contracts were entered into. The increase in human nutrition revenues was primarily due to an increase in sales of specialty oils.

 

The Company recorded gross profit of $42.7 million, or 25.5% as a percentage of revenues, for the first six months of 2017, versus gross profit of $58.2 million, or 29.5% as a percentage of revenues, for the first six months of 2016. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to a decrease in the animal nutrition segment from 38.7% to 30.2%, partially offset by an increase in the human nutrition segment from 11.0% to 19.0%.

 

 

 

 

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $13.4 million ($0.59 per diluted share) compared to $14.0 million ($0.62 per diluted share) for the same period last year. Excluding adjustments for certain items, adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 would have been $13.6 million ($0.60 per diluted share) compared to $23.2 million ($1.03 per diluted share).

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $33.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $49.1 million for the same period last year.

The actual results of future events described in any of these forward-looking statements could differ materially from those stated in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those forward-looking statements include, among others: (1) the Company’s ability to meet its raw material requirements through its annual menhaden harvest, which is subject to fluctuations due to natural conditions over which the Company has no control, such as varying fish population, fish oil yields, adverse weather conditions, natural and other disasters and disease; (2) the impact of laws and regulations that may be enacted that may restrict the Company’s operations or the sale of the Company’s products or increase the cost of compliance; (3) the impact of worldwide supply and demand relationships on prices for the Company’s products; (4) the Company’s expectations regarding demand and pricing for its products proving to be incorrect, and the effect of forward sales of products on the Company’s financial results; (5) fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly operating results due to the seasonality of the Company’s business, estimates of standard cost for inventory and subsequent adjustments to such costs, and the Company’s deferral of inventory sales based on worldwide prices for competing products; (6) the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions in the human nutrition business, and specifically, to integrate successfully its acquisitions in the human nutrition segment; (7) the Company’s expectations regarding its human nutrition segment, its future prospects and the dietary supplement market or the human health and wellness segment generally; (8) increase in the price and shortage of key raw materials that could adversely affect the Company’s human nutrition business segment; (9) the cost of compliance or potential restrictions on sales caused by laws and regulations regarding fish meal or oil importation into foreign jurisdictions; (10) the impact of any resolution of a Department of Justice False Claims Act inquiry and two Securities and Exchange Commission subpoenas on the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition; (11) the Company’s expectations regarding the suspension of its previously announced stock repurchase program and the duration of that suspension, on the ability of the Company to purchase shares of its common stock under that repurchase program, if it is resumed; (12) the Company’s expectations regarding the ASMFC’s 2017 harvest quota decision, including timing and allocations among ASMFC member states and user groups; (13) the ability or willingness of the Company to make further dividend payments under its previously announced quarterly dividend program, and the anticipated level of those payments; (14) the impact of the Company’s previous announcement of the Company’s review of strategic alternatives of its human nutrition segment, as well as any strategic transaction that may be pursued as a result of such review, including on its financial and operating results, or its employees, suppliers and customers, as well as the uncertainty associated with being able to identify, evaluate and complete any strategic alternative; (15) the impact of the Company’s inability to utilize any H2B visa workers on the Company’s 2017 Gulf of Mexico fishing season; and (16) the impact of pending class action litigation filed against the Company on the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. Other factors are described in further detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, loss related to plant closures, acquisition post-closing consideration and loss (gain) on disposal of assets. The Company has reported Adjusted EBITDA because it believes Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator of a Company's performance of its ongoing operations. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA assists such investors in comparing a company's performance of its ongoing operations on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not a calculation based on GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income in measuring our performance or used as an exclusive measure of cash flow because it does not consider the impact of working capital changes, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash which are disclosed in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Investors should carefully consider the specific items included in our computation of Adjusted EBITDA. While Adjusted EBITDA has been disclosed herein to permit a more complete comparative analysis of our operating performance relative to other companies, investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA as reported by us may not be comparable in all instances to Adjusted EBITDA as reported by us or by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA amounts may not be fully available for management's discretionary use, due to certain requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, debt service and other commitments, and therefore management relies primarily on our GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net income as defined by GAAP and such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP in the United States.
