The results and guidance in this release include Non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the section entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this release.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$NGVT #earnings–Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) today reported its financial results for the second quarter.
“Ingevity delivered second quarter financial results in line with the special, one-time guidance we provided at the end of the first quarter,” said Rick Kelson, Ingevity’s chairman of the board, and interim president and CEO. “While we experienced a sharp decline in volumes attributable to the economic impact of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, our team remained focused and drove cost reductions that were able to partially bolster adjusted EBITDA.” He added that the company generated operating cash flow of $48.9 million, which translated to solid free cash flow of $33.9 million.
Kelson said that the downturn in automotive sales and production in North America and Europe during the quarter significantly reduced revenues for its automotive activated carbon products. This was partially offset by an upturn in demand for similar products in China. He also pointed to reduced demand in industrial specialties applications – such as printing inks – and volatility in the oilfield drilling and production industry as other drivers of the revenue decline.
“As a countermeasure, we took strong steps toward reducing costs across the corporation,” said Kelson. “We implemented initiatives that will save us $35 million this year and will result in annualized savings of $12 million going forward.”
Second quarter net sales of $270.6 million were down 23.3% versus the prior year second quarter. Net income of $20.2 million decreased 64.4% and net income margin of 7.5% was down from 16.1% in the prior year. The second quarter diluted earnings per share were $0.49 compared to $1.34 in the prior year period.
Adjusted earnings of $26.1 million were down 54.6% versus the prior year quarter. Diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.63, which exclude, net of tax, $0.14 related primarily to restructuring and other charges, net, recognized during the quarter. This compares to diluted adjusted earnings per share of $1.36 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $67.2 million were down 38.0% versus the second quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.8% was down 590 basis points from the prior year’s second quarter.
Performance Chemicals
“In Performance Chemicals, sales to all of the end-use applications declined due to the COVID-19 economic impact in varying degrees,” said Kelson. “We saw comparatively reasonable strength in Pavement Technologies and Engineered Polymers. However, reduced demand in Industrial Specialties and Oilfield Technologies was more significant.”
Sales to Pavement Technologies applications were about even with the prior year as paving in North America continued largely unaffected. In addition, sales to pavement customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA) increased, albeit from a smaller base. Sales for the Engineered Polymers product line were down somewhat due to reduced industrial demand, predominantly for caprolactone monomer. Sales decreased in Industrial Specialties applications due to demand weakness for printing inks as printed retail advertising declined. Reduced sales of tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) and continued pressure on tall oil rosin (TOR) prices also contributed. Despite oil prices that stabilized in the quarter, sales to Oilfield Technologies customers were cut sharply in line with reduced drilling in North America.
Second quarter 2020 sales in the Performance Chemicals segment were $186.2 million, down 18.9% versus the second quarter 2019. Segment EBITDA were $43.9 million, down 25.6% versus the prior year quarter due to lower volumes. Price/mix impacts, production costs and foreign currency exchange were fundamentally unchanged. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) cost reductions helped to improve the segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA margin declined 210 basis points to 23.6%.
Performance Materials
“Shutdowns at automakers in North America and Europe resulted in significantly lower volumes in the quarter,” said Kelson. “However, even as OEMs and our Tier One customers worked through inventory, we saw significant demand late in the quarter which enabled us to finish the period strongly. We believe this bodes well for the rest of the year.”
Kelson said that the decline in North American revenue was partially offset by rebounding automotive business in China. Ingevity’s activated carbon pellet sales in China in the second quarter were the second highest on record reflecting the strong demand rebound and the implementation of the China 6 standard, which is essentially completed.
Second quarter 2020 sales in the Performance Materials segment were $84.4 million, down 31.4% versus the second quarter 2019. Segment EBITDA were $23.3 million, down 52.7% versus the prior year period due to the sharp downturn in volumes and resulting decreased production throughput. These were partially offset by decreased plant spending, furloughs at several Performance Materials’ manufacturing facilities, and reductions in SG&A costs. Segment EBITDA margin decreased 1,240 basis points to 27.6%.
Outlook
Ingevity reaffirmed its fiscal year 2020 guidance of sales between $1.10 billion and $1.20 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $310 million and $350 million.
“Barring any further economic deterioration, we are confident in our ability to meet our current guidance,” said Kelson. “We continue to maintain a strong financial position. Most importantly, we are working on controlling what we can control in this challenging environment.”

Segment EBITDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments. Segment EBITDA is defined as segment revenue less segment operating expenses (segment operating expenses consist of costs of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, other (income) expense, net, excluding depreciation and amortization). We have excluded the following items from segment EBITDA: interest expense, net associated with corporate debt facilities, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges. |
(3) |
Income (charges) for all periods presented relate to restructuring activity and costs associated with the business transformation initiative. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, charges of $2.7 million and $2.9 million relate to the Performance Material segment, respectively, and charges of $4.6 million and $4.9 million related the Performance Chemicals segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, all charges relate to the Performance Chemicals segment. |

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, 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.
