MANCHESTER, UK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Luxfer Holdings PLC (NYSE: LXFR), a global manufacturer of highly-engineered industrial materials, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2019, which ended December 31, 2019. Financial results for all periods are presented in U.S. GAAP.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
Consolidated net sales decreased 10.3% to $99.5 million from $110.9 million year-over-year. Excluding the $3.9 million divestment of the Czech recycling operation, core sales decreased 7.0%. The decrease in sales is primarily due to lower demand for Superform luxury automotive products and the general slowdown in Luxfer’s industrial end markets. Sales growth in our defense end market and alternative fuel products partially offset these decreases.
GAAP net loss was $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $8.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the prior year. Results include $6.3 million in restructuring, impairment, acquisition-related and other expenses attributed to the Company’s transformation plan, compared to $22.8 million of restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter of 2018.




Adjusted net income decreased to $6.2 million from $11.2 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.22 from $0.40 a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, compared to $16.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.8% decreased 160 basis points from 14.4% in the fourth quarter of 2018.
“While the tough industrial market impacted fourth quarter sales, we were able to mitigate the impact through growth in alternative fuel products," stated Luxfer’s Chief Executive Officer, Alok Maskara. "We made solid progress on our transformation plan, which delivered $5 million in annual cost savings in 2019, and we continued to reshape our product portfolio. We are fully confident in achieving the additional $10 million in net cost savings initiatives while continuing to invest in future growth through product innovation, commercial excellence and talent development.”

Full Year 2019 Results
Consolidated net sales decreased 9.1% to $443.5 million from $487.9 million year-over-year. Excluding the $8.3 million divestment of the Czech recycling operation and $9.5 million of unfavorable currency impact, core sales decreased 5.6%. The decrease in sales is primarily due to destocking of SoluMag® magnesium alloy products used in fracking applications, lower demand for Superform luxury automotive products, and the general slowdown in Luxfer’s industrial end markets. Sales growth in alternative fuel and zirconium products partially offset these decreases.
GAAP net income was $3.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with net income of $25.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the prior year. Results include $34.8 million in restructuring, impairment, acquisition-related and other expenses attributed to the Company’s transformation plan compared to $24.9 million of restructuring charges in 2018.
Adjusted net income decreased to $39.8 million from $46.8 million a year ago. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 15.4% to $1.43 from $1.69 a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 14.4% to $68.1 million from $79.6 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.4% decreased 90 basis points from 16.3%.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Segment Results
(based on year-over-year comparisons unless otherwise noted)
Elektron Segment
Fourth Quarter
•
Net sales of $46.6 million decreased 14.8% from $54.7 million. The divestment of the Czech recycling operation negatively impacted sales by $3.9M, or 7.1%. The core sales decrease was driven by the general slowdown in industrial end markets and lower shipments of SoluMag® magnesium alloy products.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $7.3 million decreased 26.3%, while EBITDA margin of 15.7% decreased 240 basis points.




Full Year
•
Net sales of $219.9 million decreased 12.0% from $249.8 million. Foreign currency reduced sales by $4.5 million, or 1.8%, while the divestment of the Czech recycling operations negatively impacted sales by $8.3M, or 3.3%. The sales decrease was driven by lower shipments of SoluMag® magnesium alloy products, as well as general softness in the industrial end market.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $44.8 million decreased 20.3%, while EBITDA margin of 20.4% decreased 210 basis points. Elektron delivered $2.3 million of net cost savings within the year.

Gas Cylinders Segment
Fourth Quarter
•
Net sales of $52.9 million decreased 5.9% from $56.2 million. Continued growth in alternative fuel cylinder products partially offset lower demand for industrial aluminum cylinders and Superform products for European luxury automobiles.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million decreased 11.5%, while EBITDA margin of 10.2% decreased 70 basis points.
Full Year
•
Net sales of $223.6 million decreased 6.1% from $238.1 million. Foreign currency reduced sales by $5.0 million, or 2.1%. The sales decrease was driven by lower shipments of cylinders used in industrial applications and lower demand for Superform products. Continued growth in alternative fuel products partially offset these declines.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $23.3 million decreased 0.4%, while EBITDA margin of 10.4% increased 60 basis points. Gas Cylinders delivered $2.6 million of net cost savings within the year.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Free Cash Flow (net cash from operations less capital expenditures) was an outflow of $8.1 million for the year compared to an inflow of $49.3 million for 2018. Non-recurring cash outlay of $24.5 million which we used for restructuring activities significantly impacted 2019 normal operating cash. As of December 31, 2019 the Company had net debt of $81.2 million, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.2x.
“I am pleased we executed plans to deliver fourth quarter cash generation in line with our prior guidance,” stated Mr. Maskara. “We are committed to returning to stronger cash generation in 2020, as we finalize our transformation plan spend and drive working capital improvements.”
Other Items
We noted a material weakness in the internal control environment as a consequence of an ERP system implementation in one business unit during the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company performed additional analysis and procedures to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in the Annual Report are fairly




presented in all material respects. For additional details, please refer to disclosure ITEM 9A in the Form 10-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial results included in this press release are preliminary and pending final review by the Company and its external auditors. Financial results will not be final until the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period.

2020 Guidance
Given the uncertain macro environment, which includes our current estimate of the adverse impact of the Coronavirus in the first half of 2020, the Company expects its 2020 adjusted EPS to be within a range of $1.30 to $1.55. The Company remains confident in delivering on items within its control, including improving cash flow, achieving planned cost reductions, and delivering on growth platforms.

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 to 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.

Forward-Looking Statement
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 we offer, both domestically and internationally, including as a result of the Brexit referendum, being less favorable than expected; (iv) worldwide economic and business conditions and conditions in the industries in which we operate; (v) fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, utilities and other inputs; (vi) currency fluctuations and hedging risks; (vii) our ability to protect our intellectual property; (viii) the significant amount of indebtedness we have incurred and may incur and the obligations to service such indebtedness and to comply with the covenants contained therein; and (ix) our ability to remediate the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. These factors are more fully discussed in the sections “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2019, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Such 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 of them, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
