- Declaring quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share
- Affirming 2016 full-year outlook
COLUMBIA, Md., April 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE:GRA) announced a first quarter net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This net loss includes approximately $40 million of after tax costs related to the separation of GCP Applied Technologies Inc. (GCP) in the first quarter of 2016. Net income for the prior-year quarter was $52.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share. Adjusted EBIT increased 16% to $82.6 million, and first quarter Adjusted EPS increased 39% to $0.57 per diluted share.
"We achieved good margin improvement and strong cash flow keeping us on track to meet our 2016 outlook," said Fred Festa, Grace’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The announced acquisition of BASF's Polyolefin Catalyst business provides a great fit to our portfolio."
First Quarter Results
First quarter net sales of $362.8 million decreased 8.6% compared with the prior-year quarter, including unfavorable currency translation of 2.3%.
Adjusted EBIT of $82.6 million increased 15.5% from the prior-year quarter, and increased approximately 19% at constant currency. Adjusted EBIT margin of 22.8% increased 480 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital was 25.2% on a trailing four-quarter basis, compared with 24.0% as of December 31, 2015.
Grace Catalysts Technologies
First quarter sales for Catalysts Technologies, which includes specialty catalysts and additives for refinery, plastics and other chemical process applications, and polypropylene process technology, were $260.6 million, a decrease of 7.3% compared with the prior-year quarter including unfavorable currency translation of 1.4%.
Adjusted Gross Margin was 43.4% compared with 38.8% in the prior-year quarter. The increase in gross margin primarily was due to lower manufacturing costs and improved productivity. Gross profit increased by 3.9% over the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher gross margins partially offset by the effect of lower sales volumes.
Segment operating income of $78.3 million increased 6.2%. Segment operating margin was 30.0%, an increase of 380 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter. The increases were primarily due to higher gross profit and higher ART income. The ART joint venture contributed $6.9 million to segment operating income compared with $6.2 million in the prior-year quarter.
Grace Materials Technologies
First quarter sales for Materials Technologies, which includes engineered materials for consumer, industrial, coatings and pharmaceutical applications, were $102.2 million, a decrease of 11.9% compared with the prior-year quarter, including unfavorable currency translation of 4.4%.
Adjusted Gross Margin was 39.4%, an increase of 110 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to favorable product mix and improved pricing. Gross profit decreased by 9.2% over the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower sales volumes partially offset by the effect of higher gross margins.
Segment operating income of $20.6 million decreased 13.8%. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower operating expenses. Segment operating margin was 20.2%, a decrease of 40 basis points from the prior-year quarter.
Other Expenses in Adjusted EBIT
Total corporate costs were $13.2 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $7.6 million compared to the prior-year quarter, prepared on a discontinued operations basis. Certain costs included in 2015 were either assumed by GCP at the time of the separation or have been eliminated through restructuring or other cost reduction actions.
Certain pension costs of $3.1 million decreased $2.2 million compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to lower service and interest costs.
Restructuring and Repositioning Expenses
Restructuring expenses were $8.5 million for the first quarter, primarily related to workforce reductions due to the exit of certain non-strategic product lines in Materials Technologies.
Repositioning expenses were $5.1 million for the first quarter, consisting of employee-related costs primarily in connection with the company’s separation into two independent companies.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $21.8 million for the first quarter compared with $24.5 million for the prior-year quarter. The weighted average cash interest rate for the first quarter was 4.6%.
Income Taxes
Income taxes on adjusted pre-tax income were recorded at a global effective tax rate of 33.6%. Income taxes paid in cash, net of refunds, were $17.2 million during the first quarter. We generally have not had to pay U.S. federal income taxes in recent years due to available tax deductions and credits that fully offset our U.S. tax liability.
Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the quarter was $69.6 million compared with a net use of cash of $382.6 million in the prior year. In the 2015 first quarter, we paid $490 million to repurchase a warrant issued in connection with our 2014 emergence from bankruptcy.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $74.1 million for the quarter, a decrease of 11.4% compared with the prior-year period.
Share Repurchase Program
In the first quarter, we spent $15.0 million to repurchase approximately 210,000 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average per share price of $71.29 under our second $500 million share repurchase authorization.
Dividend
Today Grace is announcing a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share. The dividend is payable June 9, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2016.
2016 Outlook
As of April 27, 2016, we affirm our outlook for 2016 Adjusted EBIT to be in the range of $400 million to $420 million. We expect 2016 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $500 million to $520 million, and Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $3.02 to $3.21 per share. Our outlook assumes an average 1.10 USD/EUR exchange rate for the year.
We expect 2016 Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be at least $250 million, including a favorable impact to 2016 cash flow of approximately $60 to $65 million, equivalent to $0.85 to $0.92 per share, due to our low cash tax rate compared with our effective tax rate.
We are unable to estimate the annual mark-to-market pension adjustment or 2016 net income.
Separation into Two Companies
On February 5, 2015, Grace announced a plan to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies. On January 27, 2016, Grace entered into a separation agreement with GCP, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grace, pursuant to which Grace agreed to transfer its Grace Construction Products operating segment and the packaging technologies business of its Grace Materials Technologies operating segment to GCP. The separation occurred on February 3, 2016, by means of a pro rata distribution to Grace stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of GCP common stock. As a result of the distribution, GCP is now an independent public company and its common stock is listed under the symbol “GCP” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations included GCP's earnings prior to the separation for the periods presented, as well as costs related to the separation. Discontinued operations includes repositioning expenses directly related to the separation of approximately $22 million for the first quarter and approximately $7 million for the prior-year quarter.

Notes to the Financial Information
(A) In the above charts, Grace presents its results of operations by reportable segment and for adjusted operations. Adjusted EBIT means net income from continuing operations adjusted for: interest income and expense; income taxes; costs related to Chapter 11 and asbestos; restructuring and repositioning expenses and asset impairments; pension costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits; income and expense items related to divested businesses, product lines, and certain other investments; gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines, and certain other investments; and certain other unusual or infrequent items that are not representative of underlying trends. Adjusted EBITDA means Adjusted EBIT adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Grace uses Adjusted EBIT as a performance measure in significant business decisions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow means net cash provided by or used for operating activities from continuing operations minus capital expenditures plus cash flows related to Chapter 11 and asbestos, cash paid for restructuring and repositioning, capital expenditures related to repositioning, accelerated payments under defined benefit pension arrangements, and expenditures for legacy items. Grace uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure to evaluate its ability to generate cash to support its ongoing business operations, to invest in its businesses, and to provide a return of capital to shareholders. Adjusted EPS means Diluted EPS from continuing operations adjusted for costs related to Chapter 11 and asbestos; restructuring and repositioning expenses and asset impairments; pension costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits; income and expense items related to divested businesses, product lines, and certain other investments; gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines, and certain other investments; certain other unusual or infrequent items that are not representative of underlying trends; and certain discrete tax items. Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital means Adjusted EBIT divided by the sum of net working capital, properties and equipment and certain other assets and liabilities. Adjusted Gross Margin means gross margin adjusted for pension-related costs included in cost of goods sold. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital, and Adjusted Gross Margin do not purport to represent income or liquidity measures as defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to such measures as an indicator of Grace's performance. These measures are provided to distinguish the operating results of Grace's current business base from the costs of Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings, asbestos liabilities, restructuring and repositioning activities, and divested businesses.
(B) Grace's segment operating income includes only Grace's share of income from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
(C) Certain pension costs include only ongoing costs recognized quarterly, which include service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits. Catalysts Technologies and Materials Technologies segment operating income and corporate costs do not include any amounts for pension expense. Other pension related costs including annual mark-to-market adjustments and actuarial gains and losses are excluded from Adjusted EBIT. These amounts are not used by management to evaluate the performance of Grace's businesses and significantly affect the peer-to-peer and period-to-period comparability of our financial results. Mark-to-market adjustments and actuarial gains and losses relate primarily to changes in financial market values and actuarial assumptions and are not directly related to the operation of Grace's businesses.
