OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (NYSE: OMN) Chief Executive Officer Anne Noonan, commenting on the second quarter of fiscal 2018, said, “We were pleased to record our sixth consecutive quarter of volume growth in our Specialty Solutions segment, with strong performance in our Laminates and Oil & Gas businesses. Laminates was particularly strong in RV and store fixtures as new product initiatives gained traction. Oil & Gas continues to benefit from investments we made during the downturn to diversify its product portfolio and geographic offerings. Coatings volume was flat for the quarter as the slow start to the season lingered through April with sales beginning to show growth in May. At the end of the second quarter, Specialty Solutions accounted for 62% of total Company net sales and 97% of segment profitability as our specialization strategy continues to gain momentum.
“Performance Materials’ volume was down 11% excluding the impact of the sale of China Coated Fabrics in July of 2017. Declining sales to the paper market remained the largest driver of reduced volumes as we transition out of the commodity-like portions of this market. These volume declines were partially offset by volume growth in the carpet and tire cord businesses. Margins were unfavorably impacted by increases in raw material prices that continued through the second quarter while competitive pressure in carpet, paper and tire cord remained challenging,” said Noonan.
“Last quarter I discussed our manufacturing footprint review. As a result of that analysis and the progress of our specialization strategy, we have decided to close our Green Bay, Wisconsin styrene butadiene manufacturing facility, moving production to our Mogadore, Ohio facility. Once the closure is complete, estimated to be by the second quarter of 2019, the Company expects to save $7-8 million on an annual run-rate basis while continuing to support our styrene butadiene customers efficiently and with continued high levels of quality and service.
“For 2018 our outlook remains unchanged; we continue to expect our fourth consecutive year of Adjusted EPS growth”, concluded Noonan.

Consolidated Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018
Earnings per Diluted Share for the second quarter ended May 31, 2018 was $0.19, compared to a loss of $0.14 last year. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded charges of $1.1 million primarily for asset impairments and acquisition & integration related expense. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded charges of $14.1 million primarily related to the sale of the China Coated Fabrics business.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (Adjusted EPS) was $0.20 for the second quarter of 2018, compared with $0.16 last year. The increase in Adjusted EPS was the result of the strong performance in Specialty Solutions partially offset by Performance Materials.
Net sales for the second quarter were $206.3 million, down 6.8% from last year’s $221.3 million. Excluding the effect of China Coated Fabrics (CCF), which had sales of $3.9 million in 2017, sales decreased 5.1% compared to the second quarter last year. Net sales in Specialty Solutions increased 6% to $128.8 million, while sales in Performance Materials decreased 22.3% to $77.5 million, or excluding the effect of CCF, 19.2%. Overall volume was unfavorable by $7.9 million, or 3.6%, as strong growth in Specialty Solutions was offset primarily by the declines in paper. Price and Mix had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $9.9 million, or 4.5%, primarily in Performance Materials. Currency translation was favorable by $6.6 million, or 3%, primarily reflecting the strengthening of the Euro.
SG&A in the second quarter was $27.4 million, down from $30.1 million in the same quarter last year. The primary drivers of the decrease were benefits from the “One OMNOVA” cost reduction initiatives, reduced incentive compensation expense and the sale of CCF.
Interest expense for the quarter was $4.6 million compared to $5.3 million last year reflecting lower average borrowing balances resulting from December’s $40 million debt pre-payment. During the quarter, the Company put in place a €16 million asset backed line of credit to provide additional liquidity and working capital flexibility in Europe.

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.5 million compared to $2.4 million in 2017. Cash taxes overall were $2.8 million for the quarter compared to $1.3 million last year as a result of increased earnings overseas. U.S. cash tax payments were minimal as the Company has approximately $91.1 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and $86.8 million of state and local tax net operating loss carryforwards.
Working capital days at the end of May 2018 were 53.5, 2.6 days unfavorable compared to last May driven by increased receivables. In spite of the unfavorable working capital days, cash provided by operations in the second quarter of 2018 was $23.6 million, compared to $7.3 million last year, reflecting the strong operating performance in Specialty. Trailing 12 month Adjusted EBITDA increased to $88.9 million from $80.1 million in the comparable period. Adjusted net leverage decreased to 3.0x Adjusted EBITDA as compared to 3.6x last year (see Tables E and F), reflecting the increases in earnings.
Specialty Solutions Segment Results
Net sales for Specialty Solutions during the second quarter of 2018 increased $7.3 million, or 6%, to $128.8 million, compared with $121.5 million last year. The improvement was driven by volume increases of $2.9 million, or 2.4%, partially offset by price and mix decreases of $0.1 million, or 1%. Foreign currency translation had a favorable effect of $4.5 million, or 3.7%. Volumes were strong in Oil & Gas, Laminates & Films and Home & Personal Care.
Segment Operating Profit was $21.9 million compared with $17.3 million last year. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit grew 24% to $22 million, or 17.1% of net sales, compared to $17.7 million or 14.6% of net sales last year. (See Tables A and B.) Increased volume, healthy mix and the benefits of cost controls drove the improvement in operating profit.
Performance Materials Segment Results
Net sales for Performance Materials during the second quarter of 2018 were $77.5 million compared to $99.8 million last year. The divested CCF business accounted for $3.9 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2017. Volume, excluding CCF was down $10.8 million, or 10.9%,

primarily driven by declining sales into the commodity paper market. The Company is continuing to transition out of the commodity portions of this market and expects continued volume declines as a result. Sales into the reinforcing resins, carpet and tire cord markets were strong.
Performance Materials’ segment operating profit for the quarter was $0.1 million, compared with a loss of $7.2 million last year. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $0.6 million or 0.8% of net sales, compared to $4.2 million, or 4.2% of net sales, last year. (See Tables A and B.) In addition to the impact from the volume declines, margins were unfavorably impacted by increases in raw material prices and approximately $1.0 million of costs including a bad debt write off from a bankrupt paper customer and asset impairment costs.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Matters
This Earnings Release includes Adjusted Segment Operating Profit, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBIT, Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management reviews the adjusted financial measures in assessing the performance of the business segments and in making decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the business segments. Management also believes that the adjusted information is useful for providing investors with an understanding of the Company’s business and operating performance. Management excludes the items shown in the tables below because Management does not consider them to be reflective of normal operations. These adjusted financial measurements are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and such financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to Segment Operating Profit, Net Income, Diluted Earnings Per Share or other measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Presented on Tables E and F is the Company's Net Leverage Ratio calculation (Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA). Presented on Table G is the Company's Adjusted Return on Invested Capital calculation (Adjusted Net Operating Profit After Tax / Total Debt and Equity). The tables below provide the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
