Jason Industries Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2016 Results


MILWAUKEE, March 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jason Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:JASN) (NASDAQ:JASNW) (“Jason” or “the Company”) today reported fourth quarter 2016 net sales of $158.8 million, net loss of $69.9 million and diluted loss per share of $2.69. These results include pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $63.3 million and restructuring and integration costs of $2.9 million. For fourth quarter 2016, adjusted net loss was $4.1 million and adjusted loss per share was $0.14. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million or 6.6 percent of net sales. Net cash provided by operating activities during the quarter was $12.2 million and free cash flow was $7.7 million.

“Volumes in our Seating and Components businesses were down significantly on lower motorcycle and rail car demand, in line with our expectations,” said Brian Kobylinski, chief executive officer of Jason. “Finishing continued to see lower general industrial demand in Europe and the U.S., while Acoustics continued to benefit from new platforms, as vehicle production volumes were flat.  Despite these top-line challenges, we were able to deliver improved free cash flow through more effective working capital management.”

Full-year 2016 results were net sales of $705.5 million, net loss of $77.7 million and diluted loss per share of $3.13. These results included pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $63.3 million and restructuring and integration costs of $9.2 million. For full-year 2016, adjusted net loss was $7.1 million and adjusted loss per share was $0.24. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA was $64.2 million or 9.1 percent of net sales. Net cash provided by operating activities for full-year 2016 was $35.1 million and free cash flow was $11.7 million.

In the first year of Jason’s global cost reduction and margin expansion program, actions taken and announced to-date will achieve $22 million in annual run-rate cost savings of the $30 million target to be achieved over three years. Global cost reduction program savings were $10 million in 2016. During 2016 Jason exited Finishing operations in Brazil and low-margin product lines in Components with approximately $20 million of non-core annual revenue.

“While we faced significant headwinds in some of our end-markets during 2016, we successfully executed on actions to reduce our cost structure and exit non-core low margin business. We remain focused on operations in our key facilities to improve profitability and exceed quality and delivery commitments to our customers. Improvements in serving our customers have resulted in new platform opportunities and wins, and provide commercial traction heading into 2017,” added Kobylinski.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results (versus the year ago period):

Lower volumes in Components, Seating, and Finishing offset growth in Acoustics. Net sales of $158.8 million decreased $15.0 million, or 8.6 percent. Net sales were negatively impacted by $1.4 million, or 0.8 percent, of foreign currency translation and negative $3.6 million from the exit of non-core markets and product lines in Finishing and Components. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and non-core exit, organic sales decreased 5.8 percent.

Net loss was $69.9 million including non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $63.3 million, compared with net loss of $84.7 million including non-cash goodwill and intangibles impairment charges of $94.1 million in the prior year. Diluted loss per share was $2.69 compared with diluted loss per share of $3.20.  Adjusted net loss was $4.1 million compared with adjusted net income of $0.7 million. Adjusted loss per share was $0.14 compared with adjusted earnings per share of $0.02.

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million, or 6.6 percent of net sales, compared with $16.7 million, or 9.6 percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $6.2 million on lower volumes in Components, Finishing, and Seating, and $1.0 million of corporate investments in supply chain initiatives.  Global cost reduction program savings of $2.4 million favorably impacted the quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.2 million, compared with $5.6 million. Capital expenditures were $3.7 million, a decrease of $5.2 million. Free cash flow was $7.7 million compared with negative $4.2 million driven by reductions in working capital and lower capital expenditures.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis was 6.2x as of the end of the fourth quarter. Total liquidity as of the end of the fourth quarter was $89.3 million, comprised of $40.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $48.4 million of availability on revolving loan facilities globally.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Segment Results (versus the year ago period):

Seating
Seating net sales of $32.1 million decreased $4.6 million, or 12.6 percent, negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $0.2 million, or 0.8 percent. Sales decreased on significantly lower volumes in heavyweight motorcycle. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million, or 4.3 percent of net sales, compared with negative $0.4 million, or negative 1.1 percent of net sales. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by a $1.0 million charge for excess and obsolete inventory in the prior year, current year improvements in operations, and lower selling and administrative expenses, and was negatively impacted by lower volumes and unfavorable product mix.

Finishing
Finishing net sales of $44.3 million decreased $5.3 million, or 10.6 percent, including a negative foreign currency translation impact of $0.9 million, or 1.9 percent, and a negative $0.7 million, or 1.4% impact from the exit of a non-core market in Brazil. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and non-core exit, organic sales growth was negative 7.3 percent with lower volumes on softer global industrial demand. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million, or 9.7 percent of net sales, compared with $5.5 million, or 11.2 percent of net sales, and was negatively impacted by lower volumes and labor absorption.

Acoustics
Acoustics net sales of $61.0 million increased $1.7 million, or 2.9 percent, and were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $0.1 million, or 0.2 percent. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, organic sales growth was 3.1 percent driven by increased volumes on new platform awards. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.4 million, or 10.5 percent of net sales, compared with $8.3 million, or 14.0 percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased due to operational inefficiencies resulting in higher labor and material costs, and increased overhead. A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $29.8 million was recorded in Acoustics due to lower growth expectations in part resulting from a projected decline in North American automotive end-markets.

Components
Net sales in Components of $21.3 million decreased $6.9 million, or 24.3 percent, including a negative $2.9 million, or 10.1 percent impact from the exit of non-core product lines upon closure of the Buffalo Grove facility in the fourth quarter.  Excluding the impact of non-core exit, organic sales growth was negative 14.2 percent with lower volumes of rail car and industrial metal products, and increased volumes of smart utility meter components. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 million, or 12.4 percent of net sales, compared with $5.0 million, or 17.9% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin was negatively impacted by lower volumes. A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $33.2 million was recorded in Components due to lower growth expectations primarily resulting from the current and projected cyclical decline in the rail car end-markets.

2017 Guidance:

“We have allocated resources and capital to focus on growing our core and simplifying our operations. We enter 2017 having recently exited a non-core Brazil market in Finishing, and with momentum to consolidate our footprint in Components. While we expect lower sales with on-going declines in some of our end markets, we are winning new business and right-sizing our cost structure and footprint to maintain our EBITDA and improve our margins,” added Kobylinski. “We will continue to drive free cash flow generation in our businesses to strengthen our balance sheet.”

For 2017, Jason expects net sales in the range of $650 to $670 million and Adjusted EBITDA is expected in the range of $64 to $67 million.

Non-GAAP and Other Company Information
Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Because the Company’s calculations of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, you should be careful when comparing the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies. In this earnings release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin - The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees, purchase accounting adjustments, and non-cash share based compensation expense. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a more clear picture of the Company’s operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. The Company uses this metric to facilitate a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company’s internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric and the Company uses this measure to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share - The Company defines Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) as net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees, purchase accounting adjustments, and non-cash share based compensation expense, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are based on a transaction specific basis. Adjusted earnings per share includes the impact of share based compensation to the extent it is dilutive in each period. Adjusted earnings per share includes the impact to Jason Industries common shares upon conversion of JPHI Holdings Inc. rollover shares and conversion of preferred stock. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA - The Company defines Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as current and long-term debt plus debt discounts less cash and cash equivalents, divided by pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months.  Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as reported plus Adjusted EBITDA of acquisitions prior to the date of the acquisition during the trailing twelve months. Management believes that Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing the Company’s financial leverage.

Free Cash Flow - The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash flows from operating activities (as defined by GAAP) less capital expenditures and cash dividends on preferred stock.  Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful in assessing our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for strategic capital decisions.

In addition to these non-GAAP financial measures, we also use the term “organic sales” to refer to GAAP net sales from existing operations excluding (i) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, (ii) sales from divested businesses or exited non-core businesses, and (iii) the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in results (excluding acquisitions, divestitures, and exited non-core businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in results (excluding acquisitions, divestitures, and exited non-core businesses) after applying current period average foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. We use the term “organic sales growth” to refer to the measure of comparing current period organic sales with the corresponding prior year period organic sales.

(1)  Charges in 2016 primarily relate to non-cash impairment of goodwill of $29.8 million and $33.2 million in the acoustics and components segments, respectively. Charges in 2015 represent non-cash impairment charges of $58.8 million and $35.3 million related to impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, respectively, in the seating segment.

(2)  Restructuring includes costs associated with exit or disposal activities as defined by GAAP related to facility consolidation, including one-time employee termination benefits, costs to close facilities and relocate employees, and costs to terminate contracts other than capital leases.

(3)  Transaction-related expenses primarily consist of professional service fees related to the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities.

(4)  During 2016, integration and other restructuring costs primarily includes costs incurred in connection with the start-up of a new acoustics segment facility in Richmond, Indiana and costs incurred in connection with the closure of Finishing operations in Brazil, and during the third quarter of 2016 includes a $0.6 million reversal of a reserve related to the Newcomerstown fire recorded in acquisition accounting for the business combination in 2014. During 2015, integration and other restructuring costs includes 1) equipment move costs and incremental facility preparation and related costs incurred in connection with the start-up of new acoustics segment facilities in Warrensburg, Missouri and Richmond, Indiana, and 2) $5.9 million of severance and expenses related to the transitions of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), partially offset by 3) a $0.8 million gain resulting from termination of an unfavorable lease recorded in acquisition accounting.
