NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) today reported its second quarter 2021 financial results.
Second quarter net sales of $358.4 million rose 32.4% versus the prior year second quarter. Net income of $44.3 million increased 119.3% and net income margin of 12.4% rose from 7.5% in the prior year. Second quarter diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.10 compared to $0.49 in the prior year period. Operating cash flow of $65.8 million drove free cash flow that was up 23.6% to $41.9 million.
Adjusted earnings of $62.3 million rose 138.7% versus the prior year quarter. Diluted adjusted EPS were $1.55, which exclude, net of tax, $0.09 related to restructuring, acquisition and other charges, net, and $0.36 related to certain discrete tax items recognized during the quarter. This compares to diluted adjusted EPS of $0.63 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $117.7 million rose 75.1% versus the second quarter 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.8% rose 800 basis points from the prior year’s second quarter.
“Our strong second quarter financial results were driven by higher volumes and were supported by price increases across both segments,” said John Fortson, president and CEO. “In Performance Materials, automotive-based activated carbon sales were up sharply compared to the second quarter of 2020 that was affected by industry shutdowns in North America and Europe, even though this quarter’s results were tempered by the ongoing negative impact of the global microchip shortage. In Performance Chemicals, we saw significant growth across all businesses.
“Our second quarter adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin both rebounded strongly from second quarter last year,” continued Fortson, “and our healthy free cash flow allowed us to reduce our net debt ratio while repurchasing $29 million of shares in the quarter.”
Performance Materials
Second quarter 2021 sales in the Performance Materials segment were $126.0 million, up 49.3% versus the second quarter of 2020. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $61.3 million, up 163.1% versus the prior year period that was heavily impacted by pandemic-related production outages. Segment EBITDA margin increased substantially over the prior year to 48.7%, affected slightly by a scheduled maintenance outage at Ingevity’s Covington, Virginia, facility.
“Our sales of activated carbon products used in gasoline vapor emissions control systems were strong even while the microchip shortage continues to impact automotive production on a global scale,” said Fortson. “In the second quarter, China light vehicle production declined 4.9% versus the prior year quarter and U.S. light vehicle inventories as of the end of June were down 2.5 million vehicles compared to June 2019’s pre-pandemic levels.”
Performance Chemicals
Second quarter 2021 sales in the Performance Chemicals segment were $232.4 million, up 24.8% versus the second quarter 2020. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $56.4 million, up 28.5% versus the prior year quarter due to higher volume and prices and increased plant throughput. This was partially offset by elevated costs for raw materials, logistics and SG&A. Segment EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points to 24.3%.
“In Performance Chemicals, sales in Engineered Polymers and Industrial Specialties rose significantly versus the prior year quarter and revenue from paving applications continued to deliver strong growth,” said Fortson. “We also saw healthy demand for sustainable products across the segment.”
Demand for Engineered Polymers products continues to recover from lower 2020 pandemic levels and quarterly sales were up 41.1% versus the prior year quarter due to increased volume for all product lines across the globe, particularly in Europe, and markedly higher demand in automotive, footwear and apparel and industrial equipment applications. Sales rose 32.4% in Industrial Specialties applications due to strengthening lubricants, adhesives and dispersants markets. The business also implemented further price increases for tall oil rosin and tall oil fatty acid products. Sales to Pavement Technologies applications were almost 6% higher than the prior year quarter that was only slightly impacted by COVID-19. The business reached record levels in the second quarter and first half of 2021 driven by continued adoption of the company’s cold recycling technology.
Revised Guidance
Ingevity has increased its full year 2021 guidance from sales between $1.275 billion and $1.325 billion to sales between $1.320 billion to $1.360 billion, and from adjusted EBITDA between $410 million and $430 million to adjusted EBITDA between $425 million to $440 million.
“Our increased guidance reflects our solid performance in the first half of the year and the continued robust demand for our products,” said Fortson. “Despite what we expect will be ongoing transportation and logistics headwinds, raw materials inflation and automotive sector input disruptions, we are confident in our team’s ability to deliver strong performance in the second half of the year.”

Beginning in Q1 2021, we updated disaggregated revenue disclosures, combining certain product groups to reflect categories that depict how the nature, amount, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As the result, Automotive Technologies and Process Purification product lines have been combined within the Performance Materials segment. Similarly, Oilfield Technologies product line has been combined with the Industrial Specialties product line within the Performance Chemicals segment. |

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. |
|

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.
Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share is defined as diluted earnings (loss) per common share plus restructuring and other (income) charges, net per share, acquisition and other-related costs per share, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges per share and the income tax expense (benefit) per share on those items, less the per share tax provision (benefit) from certain discrete tax items per share.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, and pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges, net.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the sum of cash provided by (used in) the following items: operating activities less capital expenditures.
Net Debt is defined as the sum of notes payable, short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt less the sum of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash associated with our New Market Tax Credit financing arrangement, and restricted investment.
Net Debt Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of acquisition-related pro forma adjustments.
Ingevity also uses the above financial measures as the primary measures of profitability used by managers of the business. In addition, Ingevity believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures because they exclude the effects of financing and investment activities as well as non-operating activities.
