Montvale, NJ, November 4, 2022 - Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ: BCPC) reported today third quarter net earnings of $25.2 million for 2022, compared to net earnings of $25.0 million for the third quarter 2021, adjusted net earnings(a) of $32.4 million, compared to $30.0 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted EBITDA(a) of $53.8 million, compared to $48.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

•Net sales were $244.3 million, an increase of $46.4 million, or 23.4%, compared to the prior year quarter, with sales growth in all three segments: Human Nutrition & Health, Animal Nutrition & Health, and Specialty Products.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $53.8 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 11.2%, from the prior year.

•GAAP net earnings were $25.2 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.9% from the prior year. These net earnings resulted in GAAP earnings per share of $0.78.

•Adjusted net earnings were $32.4 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 8.0% from the prior year. These adjusted net earnings resulted in adjusted earnings per share(a) of $1.00.

•The effective tax rate of 18.8% was 327 basis points lower than the prior year tax rate of 22.0%.

Recent Highlights:

•On August 30, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Cardinal Associates Inc. and its Bergstrom Nutrition business (collectively, "Bergstrom"), a leading science-based manufacturer of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), based in Vancouver, Washington. MSM is a widely used ingredient with strong scientific evidence supporting its benefits for joint health, sports nutrition, skin and beauty, healthy aging, and pet health. Bergstrom's MSM brand "OptiMSM®" delivers the highest quality and purity MSM on the market and is the only brand of MSM with a U.S. GRAS "generally regarded as safe" designation.

•Balchem's VitaCholine® brand recently won NutraIngredients USA's prestigious Nutra Award for Ingredient of the Year - Cognitive Function. VitaCholine® is the premier source of choline, an essential nutrient that supports cognition and brain development in children. A clinical study recently published by Cornell University researchers showed significant brain benefits for babies born to mothers who received higher levels of supplemental choline during pregnancy.

•We made repayments on our revolving debt in the third quarter of $41.0 million. Net debt was $406.1 million, with an overall leverage ratio on a net debt basis of 1.9.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2022:

The Human Nutrition & Health segment generated quarterly sales of $142.7 million, an increase of $31.5 million or 28.3% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by sales growth within food and beverage markets, the contribution from recent acquisitions, as well as sales growth within the minerals and nutrients business, partially offset by an unfavorable impact related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Third quarter earnings from operations for this segment of $20.6 million increased $0.8 million or 4.0% compared to $19.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned higher sales and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher manufacturing input costs, higher amortization and operating expenses related to the recent acquisitions, and the timing of an insurance reimbursement received in the prior year. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets of $4.0 million and $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, additional amortization of intangible assets of $2.1 million and inventory valuation adjustments of $1.5 million related to acquisitions for the third quarter of 2022, and the expense related to the flash flood event of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, adjusted earnings from operations(a) for this segment were $28.2 million, compared to $24.3 million in the prior year quarter, a 16.1% increase year over year.

Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ:BCPC)

The Animal Nutrition & Health segment generated quarterly sales of $65.6 million, an increase of $9.4 million or 16.7% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was the result of higher sales in both monogastric and ruminant species markets, the contribution from the recent acquisition of Bergstrom which included a small Animal Nutrition business, partially offset by an unfavorable impact related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Third quarter earnings from operations for this segment of $8.0 million increased $0.6 million or 8.0% compared to $7.4 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned higher sales and higher average selling prices, partially offset by increases in manufacturing input costs and distribution costs. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the expense related to the flash flood event of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, third quarter adjusted earnings from operations for this segment were $8.2 million compared to $7.8 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 4.7% year over year.

The Specialty Products segment generated quarterly sales of $29.6 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 7.3% compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher sales of products in the performance gases business, partially offset by lower plant nutrition sales, and an unfavorable impact related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Earnings from operations for this segment were $7.1 million, compared to $6.5 million in the prior year comparable quarter, an increase of $0.7 million or 10.1%, primarily due to the aforementioned higher sales, partially offset by increases in manufacturing input costs. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, adjusted earnings from operations for this segment were $8.1 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 5.8% year over year.

Consolidated gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of $68.4 million increased by $7.5 million or 12.3%, compared to $60.9 million for the prior year comparable period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 28.0% as compared to 30.8% in the prior year period, a decrease of 278 basis points, primarily due to increases in certain manufacturing input costs and distribution costs and the timing of insurance proceeds in the prior year. Operating expenses of $34.8 million for the quarter increased $6.4 million from the prior year comparable quarter, primarily due to incremental expenses and amortization from the Kappa and Bergstrom acquisitions, and an increase in outside services, partially offset by a reduction in compensation-related costs. Excluding non-cash operating expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets of $7.3 million, operating expenses were $27.5 million, or 11.3% of sales.

Interest expenses were $3.6 million and $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 18.8% and 22.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year was primarily due to a favorable provision to return adjustment related to an increase in certain tax credits and deductions.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, cash flows provided by operating activities were $41.6 million, and free cash flow was $26.8 million. The $226.0 million of net working capital on September 30, 2022 included a cash balance of $56.5 million, which reflects repayments of the revolving loan of $41.0 million, and capital expenditures and intangible assets acquired of $15.0 million.

Ted Harris said, “I am very pleased with how the Balchem team continues to manage through the current market conditions, and how we have shown resilience and the ability to deliver strong results, even in challenging times. We remain excited about our future and our ability to provide solutions for the health and nutritional needs of the world while acting as strong stewards of all of our stakeholders.”

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Free cash flow	$	26,779	$	31,075	$	61,860	$	93,917

(1) Expense related to a flash flood event: Expenses related to a flash flood event at our Verona, Missouri manufacturing site are expensed in our GAAP financial statements. We believe that excluding these costs from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because such expense is inconsistent in amount and frequency causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult.

(2) Inventory valuation adjustment: Business combination accounting principles require us to measure acquired inventory at fair value. The fair value of inventory reflects the acquired company's cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. The non-GAAP adjustment to our cost of sales excludes the expected profit margin component that is recorded under business combination accounting principles. We believe the adjustment is useful to investors as an additional means to reflect cost of sales and gross margin trends of our business.

(3) Amortization of intangible assets and finance lease: Amortization of intangible assets and finance lease consists of amortization of customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technology, regulatory registration costs, patents and trade secrets, capitalized loan issuance costs, other intangibles acquired primarily in connection with business combinations, an intangible asset in connection with a company-wide ERP system implementation, and one finance lease. We record expense relating to the amortization of these intangibles and finance lease in our GAAP financial statements. Amortization expenses for our intangible assets and finance lease are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of an acquisition. Consequently, our non-GAAP adjustments exclude these expenses to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

(4) Transaction and integration costs, ERP implementation costs and unallocated legal fees: Transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and divestitures are expensed in our GAAP financial statements. ERP implementation costs related to a company-wide ERP system implementation are expensed in our GAAP financial statements. Unallocated legal fees for transaction-related non-compete agreement disputes are expensed in our GAAP financial statements. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that excluding these items from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these are items associated with each transaction and are inconsistent in amount and frequency causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult.

(5)Unrealized foreign currency gain on contingent consideration liability and net realized gain on foreign currency forward contracts: The unrealized foreign currency gain relates to the contingent consideration liability recorded in connection with Kappa acquisition and was recorded as other income in our GAAP financial statements. The net realized gain on foreign currency exchange forward contracts relates to four short-term foreign currency exchange forward contracts with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. in connection with the Kappa acquisition. These contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting and the net gain was recorded as other income in our GAAP financial statements. We believe that excluding these gains and losses from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because such income or expense are inconsistent in amount and frequency causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult.

(6)Income tax adjustment: For purposes of calculating adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes to tax effect the taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax (benefit) provision. Additionally, the income tax adjustment is adjusted for the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” and uses our non-GAAP effective rate applied to both our GAAP earnings before income tax expense and non-GAAP adjustments described above. See Table 3 for the calculation of our non-GAAP effective tax rate.

(7) Impact of ASU 2016-09: The primary impact of ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), was the recognition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, of excess tax benefits as a reduction to the provision for income taxes and the classification of these excess tax benefits in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows instead of financing activities.
