Myers Industries Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

Strong Signature Systems performance improves second quarter results

Actions taken in the second quarter to reduce costs and leverage productivity gains; executing against previously communicated target of $7M-$9M in annualized cost savings by 2025

Full-year guidance lowered to $1.05 - $1.20 for adjusted earnings per share, primarily due to continued demand pressure in Recreational Vehicle, Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets

August 1, 2024, Akron, Ohio - Myers Industries Inc. (NYSE: MYE), a leading manufacturer of a wide range of polymer and metal products and distributor for tire, wheel, and under- vehicle service industry, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Net sales of $220.2 million compared with $208.5 million in the prior-year period
  • Net Income of $10.3 million, compared with $10.6 million in the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $38.9 million, compared with $24.7 million in the prior-year period
  • GAAP gross margin of 34.3%, up 150 basis points versus the prior-year period
  • Adjusted gross margin of 36.1%, up 320 basis points versus the prior-year period
  • GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.28 compared with $0.29 in the prior-year period
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.39 compared with $0.35 in the prior-year period
  • Cash flow provided by operations of $14.3 million and free cash flow of $9.9 million

Myers Industries President and CEO Mike McGaugh commented, “Our second-quarter results reflect the Company’s first full quarter with Signature Systems. This business is benefiting from worldwide investments in Infrastructure and helped drive both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth and margin expansion. Signature’s performance outpaced the demand headwinds in the Recreational Vehicle (RV), Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets."

“We continue to focus on growing our Storage, Handling & Protection portfolio, most notably our four power brands: Akro-Mils, Buckhorn, Scepter, and Signature Systems. We believe our increased participation in the Military and Infrastructure end markets will provide meaningful growth for our Company over the next several years.

At the same time, we are taking actions to reduce costs and increase productivity in the Engineered Solutions and Automotive Aftermarket portfolios. These actions include the consolidation of three distribution centers in our Myers Tire Supply business, as well as today’s announcement of the consolidation of our Atlantic, Iowa, rotational molding facility into our other rotational molding plants in Indiana. We are able to reduce our footprint and reduce our cost structure, due to the productivity gains we’ve achieved. We expect these closures to be completed in 2025 and deliver approximately $5 million in cost savings in 2025 as well.

Our ongoing productivity-improvement and cost-reduction initiatives will help us navigate the cyclical demand conditions in the RV, Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets while positioning the Company favorably for when these conditions revert to historical levels of demand.”

McGaugh concluded, “As a result of continued trough-like demand conditions in these end markets, we believe it is prudent to lower our full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $1.05 to $1.20.

Myers’ consistent and disciplined execution of our Three-Horizon strategy and the expansion of our portfolio of branded products enabled us to achieve the highest quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin of the past decade. Despite the near-term demand softness in select end markets, we remain excited about the ongoing transformation of Myers Industries as we execute against our long-term strategy to build a portfolio of businesses with high margin, branded products that Move, Store, and Protect.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Quarter Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2024 2023 % Inc<br>(Dec)
Net sales $220,236 $208,453 5.7%
Gross profit $75,517 $68,410 10.4%
Gross margin 34.3% 32.8%
Operating income $23,728 $16,142 47.0%
Net income $10,279 $10,605 (3.1)%
Net income per diluted share $0.28 $0.29 (3.4)%
Adjusted operating income $28,826 $19,027 51.5%

Adjusted earnings per diluted share $0.39 $0.35 11.4%
Adjusted EBITDA $38,893 $24,704 57.4%

Net sales were $220.2 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 5.7%, compared with $208.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net sales was driven by contributions from the recent acquisition of Signature Systems, partially offset by lower pricing and volumes in both the Material Handling and Distribution segments.

Gross profit increased $7.1 million, or 10.4%, to $75.5 million, driven by performance at Signature Systems, favorable product mix and lower material costs, partially offset by lower pricing and volume, as well as adjusting items related to acquisition and restructuring expenses. Gross margin improved 150 basis points to 34.3% compared with 32.8% for the second quarter of 2023. On an adjusted basis, gross profit increased 320 basis points to 36.1% from 32.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million year-over-year, or 1.3%, to $51.7 million. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.5%, compared with 25.8% in the first quarter of 2024 and 25.1% in the same period last year, driven in part by lower incentive compensation accruals, reflecting Myers’ full-year outlook and cost-saving initiatives. Net income per diluted share was $0.28, compared with $0.29 for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.39, compared with $0.35 for the second quarter of 2023.

Net sales for the Material Handling segment were $166.0 million, an increase of $22.7 million, or 15.9%, compared with $143.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. Sales from the addition of Signature Systems were partly offset by decreases, primarily in Recreational Vehicle and Marine, but also Food & Beverage and Consumer end markets.

Operating income increased 15.6% to $28.7 million, compared with $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. Operating income margin of 17.3% was flat compared with the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased 39.0% to $41.5 million, compared with $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. SG&A expenses increased year-over-year, primarily due to incremental SG&A from Signature, partially offset by lower expenses for professional services and incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 420 basis points, primarily attributed to the Signature acquisition, partially offset by lower sales volume and pricing in the legacy business.

Distribution

Net Sales Op Income Adj EBITDA
Q2 2024 Results $54.3 2.2 3.8
Q2 2023 Results $65.2 3.4 4.7
$ Increase (decrease) vs prior year ($10.9) (1.2) (0.9)
% Increase (decrease) vs prior year (16.7)% (35.9)% bps (20.1)% bps

All values are in US Dollars.

Items in this table may not recalculate due to rounding

Operating income decreased $1.2 million to $2.2 million, compared with $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20.1% to $3.8 million, compared with $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating income and adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower volume and pricing, offset partially by favorable sales mix and material costs. SG&A expenses decreased year-over-year, primarily due to lower payroll costs and lower variable selling expenses. The Distribution segment's operating income margin was 4.0% compared with 5.2% for the second quarter of 2023. The Distribution segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.9%, compared with 7.2% for the second quarter of 2023. The Distribution Segment continues to implement pricing and cost actions to counter cost inflation and improve margin.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand totaled $37.3 million. Total debt as of June 30, 2024, was $409.0 million. Under the terms of the Company’s loan agreement, its net leverage ratio was 2.6x and it had $231.4 million of availability under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2024. For the second quarter of 2024, cash flow provided by operations was $14.3 million and free cash flow was $9.9 million, compared with cash flow provided by operations of $22.9 million and free cash flow of $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in free cash flow was driven primarily by increased interest expense and investment in working capital, partially offset by contributions from Signature. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2024 were $4.4 million, compared with $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2023.

2024 Outlook

Based on current exchange rates, market outlook and business forecast, the Company is providing the following outlook for fiscal 2024:

  • Net sales growth of 5% to 10%
  • Net income per diluted share in the range of $0.76 to $0.91
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.05 to $1.20
  • Capital expenditures in the range of $30 million to $35 million
  • Effective tax rate to approximate 26%

Statements in this release include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including information regarding the Company’s financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects and anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, these statements inherently involve a wide range of inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. The Company’s actual actions, results, and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Specific factors that could cause such a difference on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity include, without limitation, raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs; risks associated with our strategic growth initiatives or the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of such initiatives; unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases; competitive pressures on sales and pricing; changes in the markets for the Company’s business segments; changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes; operational problems at our manufacturing facilities or unexpected failures at those facilities; future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world; inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements; claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company; changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company; unforeseen events, including natural disasters, unusual or severe weather events and patterns, public health crises, geopolitical crises, and other catastrophic events; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, readers should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.
