LUXFER ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES FULL YEAR 2024 GUIDANCE

• Fourth Quarter financial results were ahead of company expectations on demand uptick in Gas Cylinders and improved cost structure

• Net cash provided from continuing operations for the year was $26.2 million, an increase of $10.4 million versus the prior year; free cash flow from continuing operations was $16.8 million, an increase of $9.3 million versus the prior year

• Initial results from strategic review process included the initiation of a sale process for Graphic Arts as well as identification of wider strategic optionality

Luxfer Holdings PLC (NYSE: LXFR) ("Luxfer" or the "Company"), a global industrial company innovating niche applications in materials engineering, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year, ended December 31, 2023.

"Luxfer’s performance was hampered in 2023 by challenging high raw material prices in magnesium and carbon fiber, coupled with continued weakness in global industrial demand which primarily impacted the second half of the year," commented Luxfer’s Chief Executive Officer, Andy Butcher. "Even with these headwinds, the Luxfer team executed effective cost mitigation and cash conservation programs to deliver strong free cash flow in the second half and achieved sequentially lower net debt. I was encouraged that we were able to deliver fourth quarter revenue and adjusted EPS significantly ahead of our previous expectations, giving us good momentum as we enter the new year. In addition, we finished the year and entered 2024 on several notable highs, including signing new agreements with major SCBA customers, confirming insurance coverage for our ongoing legal matter, and anticipating benefit from improved magnesium supply.

"I am also pleased with the momentum and progress made in our strategic review process, which we announced in October. We have identified key actions, including the initiation of a sale process for Graphic Arts, and I am excited to share these with the investment community here and during our fourth quarter and full year earnings conference call."

Mr. Butcher closed by saying, "Looking ahead, we will continue to proactively pursue opportunities to improve profitability and liquidity while delivering a compelling customer value proposition across our markets. While we do not believe the current demand landscape will change immediately for our Elektron business, we expect some gradual improvement, and we feel good about the outlook of our key end markets as we are positioned to capture opportunities linked to the demand for clean energy applications."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Consolidated Results

(Adjusted results exclude Graphic Arts)

GAAP Net Sales declined 17.8% to $95.9 million. Adjusted Net Sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased 17.4% to $87.8 million compared to a strong prior year quarter; the decline was primarily driven by lower volume and mix of $26.9 million partially offset by favorable pricing impact of $7.2 million and foreign exchange of $1.2 million.

Fourth quarter GAAP gross profit declined $5.2 million to $16.7 million. Adjusted gross profit decreased $2.3 million to $16.7 million from $19.0 million, primarily driven by lower demand in key end markets and input cost inflation. Adjusted gross profit margin increased 110bps to 19.0% compared to 17.9% in the prior year quarter.

Fourth quarter GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $6.5 million, or a loss of $0.24 per diluted share, impacted by a $12.7 million write down in Graphic Arts, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income was $3.6 million or adjusted diluted per share of $0.13.

Excluding Graphic Arts, adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 million decreased 27.7%, from $11.2 million in the prior year quarter. Continued end market weakness negatively impacted by $9.4 million along with foreign exchange impact of $1.1 million and higher material inflation of $1.6 million. However improved pricing strategy benefited the business by $7.2 million and cost reduction/other was favorable by $1.8M

Full-year GAAP Net sales declined 4.3% to $405.0 million from the prior year. Adjusted net sales decreased 2.9% to $373.5 million from $384.7 million in the prior year, primarily driven from lower volume and mix of $38.4 million and negative foreign exchange impact of $0.6 million partially offset by favorable pricing impact of $27.8 million.

Full-year GAAP net loss from continuing operations declined to $2.6 million, or a loss of $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $32.0 million, or $1.16 per diluted share.

Excluding Graphic Arts, adjusted net income for the full year was $21.6 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $32.8 million, or $1.19 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA of $43.3 million decreased $12.0 million from $55.3 million. End market weakness negatively impacted by $15.8 million along with foreign impact of $1.6 million, higher material inflation of $16.7 and cost reduction / other of $5.7 million. However, an improved pricing strategy more than offset material inflation, and benefited the business by $27.8 million.

Strategic Review

In October, the Company announced an acceleration and expansion of its annual strategic review process, with the goal of driving improved financial performance and identifying opportunities to maximize value. For this comprehensive review process the Board of Directors engaged Deutsche Bank.

This review reached three notable initial decisions:

• Firstly, Graphic Arts no longer aligns with Luxfer’s value proposition, hence we are initiating a sale process with the intention of divesting this business in 2024.

• Secondly, we determined that both Gas Cylinders and Elektron can deliver attractive long-term profitable growth driven by increasing end market demand, lower costs, and further improved competitive positioning. We are committed to executing our plan for these businesses and delivering improved operating performance.

• Thirdly, at an overall Luxfer level, the review concluded that there are no material strategic synergies between Gas Cylinders and Elektron. Although the current market environment may limit separation alternatives to deliver appropriate value commensurate with the expected improved operating performance in both businesses, we will continue to monitor market conditions and evaluate alternatives to drive shareholder value.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Luxfer Holdings PLC prepares its financial statements using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). When a company discloses material information containing non-GAAP financial measures, SEC regulations require that the disclosure include a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Management’s inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures in this release is intended to supplement, not replace, the presentation of the financial results in accordance with GAAP. Luxfer management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company’s business trends and understand the Company’s performance. In addition, management may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in the Company’s forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

With respect to the Company’s 2024 adjusted earnings per share guidance, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort, and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: (i) statements regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; (ii) statements of plans, objectives or goals of the Company or its management, including those related to financing, products, or services; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "forecasts," and "plans," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that the predictions, forecasts, projections, and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. The Company cautions that several important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) lower than expected future sales; (ii) increasing competitive industry pressures; (iii) general economic conditions or conditions affecting demand for the products and services it offers, both domestically and internationally; (iv) worldwide economic and business conditions and conditions in the industries in which the Company operates; (v) geopolitcal issues (vi) fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, utilities, and other inputs; (vii) currency fluctuations and hedging risks; (viii) the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property; (ix) the significant amount of indebtedness the Company has incurred and may incur and the obligations to service such indebtedness and to comply with the covenants contained therein; and (x) risks related to the impact of COVID-19. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. These factors are more fully discussed in the sections entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2024. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any such statement, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
