Peter Thomas, Chairman, President and CEO, said, “Ferro delivered another quarter of strong financial results, with our fifth consecutive quarter of organic sales and volume growth.



 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

“Our delivery of strong results over several quarters demonstrates the durability and scalability of our value creation business model and the growth-oriented culture we have developed at Ferro.  With a keen focus on innovation and optimization, we continue to improve performance and productivity.  We have invested in higher- value growth opportunities that position the Company for above-market gains, and we are expanding our role as an innovative technology partner to fulfill our customers’ current and future needs.  Meanwhile, after 14 acquisitions over the past 33 months, we continue to improve operating leverage while growing revenue.



“Today, Ferro is a more focused and stronger company with consistently improving operating performance and operating cash flow.  We are able to fund sustainable growth through innovative portfolio enhancements, new platforms that leverage our existing market positions, and strategic acquisitions.  In this Dynamic Innovation and Optimization phase of our value creation strategy, we have moved to a self-renewing, higher growth model that is scaled to support reinvestment in core businesses and growth areas.



“We remain confident in our ability to continue delivering strong results and look forward to sharing our vision for the future at our November 9, 2017, investor day in Cleveland.”

Third Quarter Segment Results

All three of Ferro’s reporting segments delivered continued growth in the quarter.



·

·

Performance Colors & Glass increased sales by 19.2% to $110.6 million, grew gross profit to $37.9 million, and generated a gross profit margin of 34.3%.



·

compared with $35.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations is defined as adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations less cash items used to operate the businesses, including cash taxes and interest, changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other cash items.



Acquisitions Update



On November 1, 2017, Ferro completed the previously announced acquisition of Endeka Group, a global producer of high-value coatings and key raw materials for the ceramic tile market, for approximately €64 million (approximately $74 million).



Outlook

Ferro is providing adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA from operations guidance on a continuing operations basis. While it is likely that Ferro could incur charges for items excluded from adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations such as mark-to-market adjustments of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and impairment charges, and legal and professional expenses related to certain business development activities, it is not possible, without unreasonable effort, to identify the amount or significance of these items or the potential for other transactions that may impact future GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities. Management does not believe these items to be representative of underlying business performance. Management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to a comparable GAAP measure.



Ferro is updating its full-year 2017 guidance based on the Company’s year-to-date performance.  Consistent with prior guidance, this guidance uses foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2016. 



·

Adjusted EPS of $1.26 - $1.29 per diluted share, up from $1.22 - $1.27 per diluted share

·

Adjusted EBITDA of $228 million - $231 million, up from $223 million - $228 million

·

Consolidated sales growth of 17.0% - 17.5%, up from 12.0% - 13.0%





Ferro’s outlook assumes an exchange rate of 1.05 USD/EUR for the remainder of 2017. If foreign exchange rates stay at the September 30, 2017 levels, Ferro estimates that this would provide an approximate one- to two-cent tailwind to the above-mentioned EPS outlook.





Constant Currency

Constant currency results reflect the remeasurement of 2016 reported and adjusted local currency results using 2017 exchange rates, which produces constant currency comparative figures to 2017 reported and adjusted results. These non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered as a substitute for the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The adjustments to “Cost of Sales” primarily include the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments related to our recent acquisitions, and other acquisition costs.  The adjustments to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” primarily include legal, professional and other expenses related to certain business development activities.  The adjustments to “Other expense, net” primarily relate to a  gain on purchase of an equity method investment.

The tax rate reflects the reported tax rate, adjusted for non-GAAP adjustments being tax effected at the respective statutory rate where the item originated.

(4)

Due to rounding, total earnings per share related to special items does not always add to the total adjusted earnings per share.





It should be noted that adjusted income, earnings per share and other adjusted items referred to above are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).  These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented.  The adjusted income, earnings per share and other adjusted items presented above exclude certain special items including restructuring charges, certain business development activities,  certain purchase accounting adjustments and discontinued operations.  We believe this data provides investors with additional information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of financial performance.

(2)

The adjustments to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” primarily include legal, professional and other expenses related to certain business development activities.  The adjustments to “Other expense, net” primarily relate to the gain on an asset sale that was recognized, and the finalization of the purchase price for the acquisition of Vetriceramici.

Refer to Table 5 and Table 6 for the reconciliation of cost of sales to adjusted cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.



It should be noted that adjusted cost of sales and adjusted gross profit are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented.   Adjusted gross profit and adjusted cost of sales exclude certain items, primarily comprised of the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments related to our recent acquisitions, and other acquisition costs.  We believe this data provides investors with additional information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of financial performance.

The “Non-GAAP adjustments” include non-GAAP adjustments to cost of sales and non-GAAP adjustments to SG&A for the rolling twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The “Non-GAAP adjustments” also includes precious metal lease fees which were $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the rolling twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(2)

Operating profit for 2017 and 2016 is tax effected at 27.5% and 26.4%, respectively.    

(3)

For the rolling twelve months ended September 30, 2017, the recent acquisitions include ESL, Cappelle, SPC, Dip-Tech and Gardenia.  For the rolling twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the recent acquisitions  include Ferer, Pinturas, Delta Performance Products, ESL and Cappelle.    Acquisitions are removed from being included in the recent acquisitions line item after the acquisitions are included in the Company for a full year.



It should be noted that adjusted net operating profit after tax and return on invested capital are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented.     Adjusted net operating profit after tax is operating profit from continuing operations,  adjusted for non-GAAP adjustments to cost of sales and non-GAAP adjustments to SG&A, tax effected.  We believe this data provides investors with additional information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of financial performance. In addition, these measures are used in the calculation of certain incentive compensation programs for selected employees.

It should be noted that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented.    Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) attributable to Ferro Corporation common shareholders before the effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interest, discontinued operations, restructuring and impairment charges, other (income) expense net, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP adjustments to cost of sales, and non-GAAP adjustments to SG&A. Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations is adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, changes in working capital, cash income taxes, cash interest, pension contributions, incentive compensation payments, and other continuing operations cash items. We believe this data provides investors with additional information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of financial performance. In addition, these measures are used in the calculation of certain incentive compensation programs for selected employees.
