NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., August 02, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT) today reported its financial results for the second quarter 2023.
Second quarter net sales of $481.8 million rose 15% versus the prior year quarter as price increases across all segments, higher volumes in Performance Materials and the Performance Chemicals’ Pavement Technologies business line, including the addition of the Ozark road markings acquisition (Ozark), more than offset weaker volumes in the Performance Chemicals’ Industrial Specialties business line and Advanced Polymer Technologies.
Net income of $35.5 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.97 decreased 41% and 37%, respectively, and were negatively impacted by restructuring and other charges recorded during the quarter as well as higher interest and integration-related expenses associated with the Ozark acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA remained flat versus the prior year quarter at $120.7 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.1%.
"This quarter we delivered double-digit revenue growth and maintained strong adjusted EBITDA margins in a challenging economic environment. Sales in our Performance Materials segment and Pavement Technologies business line were up due to an improved automotive market and a strong paving season, which more than offset weakness in the Industrial Specialties business line, particularly in our rosin end markets. In Advanced Polymer Technologies, EBITDA more than tripled as we implemented margin improvement initiatives and benefited from lower input costs," said John Fortson, president and CEO. "Our strong results in this environment reflect our broad portfolio of products that serve diverse end markets across all regions. In addition, we began to take actions to better align our cost structure with current economic conditions and the continuing margin pressure on crude tall oil (CTO) based products. We remain disciplined in managing costs while delivering specialty products and technologies that purify, protect, and enhance the world around us."
Performance Chemicals
Sales in the Performance Chemicals segment were $284.0 million, up 17% from prior year.
Industrial Specialties posted sales of $143.1 million, down 14%, due to lower volumes attributed primarily to weaker demand in our rosin end markets. Pavement Technologies sales increased to $140.9 million, driven by both higher volume and pricing in legacy pavement applications and sales associated with Ozark.
Segment EBITDA was $44.9 million, down 27%, reflecting lower sales volumes in Industrial Specialties and higher CTO cost, resulting in a segment EBITDA margin of 15.8%.
"Pavement Technologies saw increased sales from our Ozark acquisition bolstered by a record quarter in our legacy business as a result of technology adoption and regional expansion, driving increased volumes that supported higher prices. Industrial Specialties sales continued to feel the impact of reduced customer demand, particularly in rosin end markets, and lingering destocking," said Fortson. "The segment’s EBITDA decline and margin compression reflect the elevated CTO pricing we are experiencing coupled with weaker rosin end market demand and we expect to feel these pressures in the segment for the remainder of the year. We continue to see success in our alternative fatty acid-based products in the marketplace, executing our strategy to diversify our raw material stream in this segment."
Advanced Polymer Technologies
Sales in the Advanced Polymer Technologies (APT) segment were flat at $53.2 million as we saw strength in our key growth areas of automotive and bioplastics, which was offset by lower volumes primarily in footwear. Segment EBITDA more than tripled to $11.6 million and segment EBITDA margin improved to 21.8% due to our margin improvement initiatives and lower input costs.
"APT had a solid quarter with year over year pricing gains and growth in automotive and bioplastics helping offset volume weakness in footwear and industrials," said Fortson. "Pricing actions and cost management, in addition to improved input costs, particularly energy, overcame volume softness and FX headwinds, resulting in a significant margin improvement, a true reflection of our APT team’s focus on delivering improved profitability."
Performance Materials
Sales in Performance Materials were $144.6 million in the quarter, up 18% as the global automotive market improved versus the prior year. Segment EBITDA was $64.2 million, up 16% versus the prior year quarter as a result of improved volumes, with segment EBITDA margins of 44.4%.
"Performance Materials saw improved volumes of automotive carbon as last year’s volumes were negatively impacted by Covid-related shutdowns in China," said Fortson. "We see some positive signs in the North America market, but the outlook for Europe and Asia is less clear so we are managing inventory carefully until auto production trends become more consistent."
Liquidity/Other
Second quarter operating cash flow was $48.4 million with free cash flow of $26.7 million reflecting higher inventory driven by increased CTO prices and reduced rosin demand. Share repurchases for the quarter were $58.7 million and $353.4 million remains available under the July 2022 $500 million Board authorization. Net leverage was 3.2 times, reflecting increased borrowing for the Ozark acquisition in Q4 2022.
Full Year 2023 Guidance
"As you see in our results, most of our business lines delivered a strong quarter. However, the high costs of CTO are pressuring Industrial Specialties’ profitability, and the weaker industrial environment is not providing us with the opportunity to fully recoup these costs," said Fortson. "Therefore, we are adjusting our full-year guidance to sales between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, and adjusted EBITDA between $390 million and $420 million. This guidance reflects challenges we see in 2023 and reinforces our confidence in our long-term strategy, which includes the AFA transition that will diversify our raw material stream, global expansion in Pavement which we are already executing today, and higher adoption of sustainable products such as those delivered by our APT and Performance Materials segments."

Use of non-GAAP financial measures: This press release includes certain non‐GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non‐GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided within the Appendix to this presentation. Investors are urged to consider carefully the comparable GAAP measures and the reconciliations to those measures provided. The company does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of the factors underlying the guidance assumptions are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and are unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, Ingevity believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of certainty that could be confusing to investors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ingevity has presented certain financial measures, defined below, which have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and has provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP on the following pages. These financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors should consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management as well as investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business, because such measures, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results.
Ingevity uses the following non-GAAP measures:
Adjusted earnings (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, debt refinancing fees, litigation verdict charges, (losses) and gains from the sale of strategic investments, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges and the income tax expense (benefit) on those items, less the provision (benefit) from certain discrete tax items.
Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share is defined as diluted earnings (loss) per common share plus restructuring and other (income) charges, net per share, acquisition and other-related costs per share, debt refinancing fees per share, litigation verdict charge per share, (losses) and gains from the sale of strategic investments per share, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges per share and the income tax expense (benefit) per share on those items, less the per share tax provision (benefit) from certain discrete tax items per share.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, litigation verdict charge, (losses) and gains from the sale of strategic investments, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges, net.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the sum of cash provided by (used in) the following items: operating activities less capital expenditures.
Net Debt is defined as the sum of notes payable, short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt less the sum of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash associated with our New Market Tax Credit financing arrangement, and restricted investment excluding the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities.
Net Debt Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of acquisition-related pro forma adjustments.
Ingevity also uses the above financial measures as the primary measures of profitability used by managers of the business. In addition, Ingevity believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures because they exclude the effects of financing and investment activities as well as non-operating activities.
GAAP Reconciliation of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2023 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as it cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. These components, net of tax, include further restructuring and other income (charges), net; additional acquisition and other-related costs; litigation verdict charges; (losses) and gains from the sale of strategic investments; additional pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges; and revisions due to legislative tax rate changes. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted EBITDA.
