Myers Industries Reports 2021 Third Quarter Results

Sales Increased 51% Including Acquisitions, 20% on an Organic Basis

November 4, 2021, Akron, Ohio - Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE), a leading manufacturer of a wide range of polymer products and distributor for the tire, wheel, and under-vehicle service industry, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

Net sales increased $67.8 million, or 51.3% to $200.1 million, including $40.8 million, or 30.9% from the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions, compared with $132.3 million for the third quarter of 2020
Net income per diluted share was $0.22, compared with $0.24 for the third quarter of 2020
--- ---
Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.23, compared with $0.30 for the third quarter of 2020
--- ---

Myers Industries’ President and CEO, Mike McGaugh said, “Demand across all of our core end markets remains strong and our team continues to execute at a high level, which helped us deliver double-digit top-line growth this quarter. While our revenue performance and competitive position continue to build momentum, we were not immune to the continued inflationary headwinds that are affecting the cost structures of many businesses across the globe. This resulted in margin compression in parts of our business due to increased raw material, labor, and supply chain costs. We are actively working to mitigate these challenges and will continue to adjust price as necessary and prioritize operating excellence initiatives in order to offset their impacts in the coming quarters. Additionally, to support robust sales trends and a growing pipeline, we chose to invest more heavily this period to ensure we maintain high service levels. When coupled with strong sales later in the quarter, higher raw material costs, and the timing of certain cash payments, these investments negatively impacted cash flow. We are confident in our ability to generate positive cash flow on an annual basis and expect to do so again this year.”

McGaugh added, “We are confident in the continued success of our ‘One Myers’ strategy and are pleased with the progress we have made. Since the launch of the strategy one year ago, we have executed and integrated the strategic acquisitions of both Elkhart and Trilogy, which bolstered the already leading rotational molding position of our Material Handling Segment. These strategic actions, combined with our focused expansion efforts across all of our businesses, generated double-digit sales growth in each of the last four quarters. We have also made considerable improvements to our supply chain capabilities and overall operating efficiency, all while continuing to cultivate a high-performance culture.”

McGaugh concluded, “Our ‘One Myers’ strategy positions us well for continued momentum in 2022. The operating discipline we’re developing as we navigate this challenging cost environment should put us in a strong position to drive long-term profitable growth. I look forward to continued momentum as we close out the year and believe our journey has just begun.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

Quarter Ended September 30,
2021 2020 Inc (Dec)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Net sales $200.1 $132.3 51.3%
Operating income $11.8 $13.1 (10.1)%
Adjusted operating income $12.5 $15.6 (19.5)%
Adjusted operating income margin 6.3% 11.8% -550 bps
Net income $7.9 $8.7 (9.0)%
Adjusted net income $8.5 $10.6 (20.1)%
Net income per diluted share $0.22 $0.24 (8.3)%
Adjusted earnings per diluted share $0.23 $0.30 (23.3)%

Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $200.1 million, an increase of $67.8 million, or 51.3%, compared with $132.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, driven by increases in both the Material Handling and Distribution segments. Excluding the incremental $40.8 million of net sales from the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions, organic net sales increased 20%, 7% due to higher volume/mix and 13% due to favorable price.

Gross profit increased $7.1 million, or 15.2% to $54.2 million, primarily due to the increased contribution from volume/mix and the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions. Partially offsetting these contributions were higher raw material costs, including a $1.6 million increase to the LIFO inventory reserve, and increased labor costs, which were not fully recovered by pricing actions and led to an unfavorable price-to-cost relationship for the quarter. As a result, gross margin was 27.1% compared with 35.6% for the third quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $8.6 million, or 25.4% to $42.5 million, reflecting the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions, higher salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation costs and increased professional fees. SG&A as a percentage of sales declined to 21.3% in the third quarter, compared with 25.7% in the same period last year. Net income per diluted share was $0.22, compared with $0.24 for the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.23, compared with $0.30 for the third quarter of 2020.

Third Quarter 2021 Segment Results

(Dollar amounts in the segment tables below are reported in millions)

Material Handling

Net Sales Op Income Adj Op Income Adj Op Income Margin
Q3 2021 Results $149.7 $15.1 $15.2 10.2%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year 72.5% (3.4)% (7.6)% -880 bps

Net sales for the Material Handling Segment during the third quarter of 2021 were $149.7 million, an increase of $62.9 million, or 72.5%, compared with $86.8 million for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding the incremental $40.8 million of net sales from the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions, organic net sales increased 7% due to higher volume/mix, 18% due to favorable price and 1% due to foreign currency exchange. Organic net sales increased in the vehicle, industrial, and food and beverage end markets. Operating income decreased 3.4% to $15.1 million, compared with $15.6 million in 2020. Adjusted operating income decreased 7.6% to $15.2 million, compared with $16.5 million in 2020. Contributions from the increase in volume/mix during the quarter were more than offset by higher raw material costs, including a $1.0 million increase to the LIFO inventory reserve, and increased labor costs, which were not fully recovered by pricing actions and led to an unfavorable price-to-cost relationship for the quarter. Additionally, SG&A expenses were higher year-over-year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions and higher salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation costs. The Material Handling Segment’s adjusted operating income margin was 10.2%, compared with 19.0% for the third quarter of 2020.

Distribution

Net Sales Op Income Adj Op Income Adj Op Income Margin
Q3 2021 Results $50.4 $4.4 $4.4 8.7%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year 10.8% (14.0)% (14.0)% -250 bps

Net sales for the Distribution Segment during the third quarter of 2021 were $50.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 10.8%, compared with $45.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by higher volume/mix across both equipment and supplies and pricing actions. Operating income decreased to $4.4 million, compared with $5.1 million in 2020. Contributions from higher volume/mix and pricing actions were more than offset by an increase in SG&A expenses year-over-year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily the result of higher salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation costs and increased selling expenses. The Distribution Segment’s adjusted operating income margin was 8.7%, compared with 11.2% for the third quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand totaled $14.8 million, compared to $28.3 million on December 31, 2020. Total debt as of September 30, 2021, was $121.4 million.

During the third quarter, cash flow used for operations was $7.8 million resulting in negative free cash flow of $13.8 million, compared with cash flow provided by operations of $19.5 million and free cash flow of $16.2 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to higher working capital, which was driven by increases in accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable, and higher capital expenditures. The Company expects working capital trends to turn favorable in the fourth quarter.

2021 Outlook

The Company updated its outlook for fiscal 2021, and currently forecasts:

Net sales growth in the mid-to-high 40% range, with slightly more than half of the increase due to the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions
Diluted EPS in the range of $0.86 to $1.01; adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $0.90 to $1.05
--- ---
Capital expenditures to approximate $16 to $19 million
--- ---
Effective tax rate to approximate 26%
