||||||||||||||||
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $93.1 million, or 27.5%, as compared to the same period last year, due to higher sales volume across all segments, primarily due to the economic recovery from COVID-19.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $214.3 million, or 16.3%, as compared to 2020, due to higher sales volume across all segments, primarily due to the economic recovery following impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $69.8 million, or 31.4%, as compared to the same period last year, due to increases in the Diversified Industrial and Energy segments, primarily due to higher sales volume.
Cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $144.2 million, or 16.8%, as compared to 2020, due to increases in the Diversified Industrial and Energy segments, primarily due to the higher sales volume discussed above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $4.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to impact of higher sales volume as discussed above, partially offset by a gain as a result of a litigation settlement of $8.8 million in 2021 for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
SG&A in 2021 increased $13.2 million, or 4.5%, as compared to 2020, primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume as discussed above, partially offset by a gain as a result of a litigation settlement of $8.8 million in 2021, as well as a $14.0 million environmental reserve charge recorded in 2020 in the Diversified Industrial segment related to a legacy, non-operating site.
Goodwill Impairment Charges
No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2021. As a result of declines in customer demand and the performance of the performance materials business during 2020, the Company recorded a $1.1 million charge in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Asset Impairment Charges
No asset impairment charges were recorded in 2021. As a result of COVID-19 related declines in our youth sports business within the Energy segment, intangible assets of $0.6 million, primarily customer relationships, were fully impaired in 2020.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for both the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $6.2 million. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $22.3 million and $29.5 million, respectively. The lower interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to lower interest rates and lower average debt levels.
Realized and Unrealized (Gains) Losses on Securities, Net
The Company recorded gains of $16.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $51.2 million in 2020, and losses of $24.0 million and gains of $25.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The changes in realized and unrealized (gains) losses on securities, net over the respective periods are primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments on the Company’s portfolio of securities, which are required to be recorded in earnings under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”).
All Other Expenses (Income), Net
All other expenses, net increased $8.4 million, primarily driven by higher provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2021. All other income, net totaled $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and is primarily comprised of: (1) a $19.7 million one-time dividend from Aerojet; (2) a pre-tax gain of $8.1 million on the sale of OMG’s Edge business; and (3) a pre-tax gain of $6.6 million on the sale of an idle facility in the Joining Materials business, partially offset by (4) finance interest expense of $7.7 million. All other expense, net totaled $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily comprised of provision for loan losses and finance interest expense.
Income Taxes
As a limited partnership, we are generally not responsible for federal and state income taxes, and our profits and losses are passed directly to our limited partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The Company’s tax provision represents the income tax expense or benefit of its consolidated corporate subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2021, a tax provision of $84.1 million was recorded, as compared to $38.1 million in 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate was 41.9% and 30.4% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in U.S. tax expense related to unrealized gains on investment from related parties which are eliminated for financial statement purposes.
Loss (Income) of Associated Companies, Net of Taxes
The Company recorded a loss from associated companies, net of taxes of $10.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to income, net of taxes, of $22.6 million for the same period of 2020. The Company recorded income from associated companies, net of taxes, of $15.7 million in 2021, as compared to losses, net of taxes of $3.8 million in 2020.
Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment (Capital Expenditures)
Capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $32.8 million, or 7.6% of revenue, as compared to $7.6 million, or 2.3% of revenue, in the three months ended December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, capital expenditures were $52.3 million, or 3.4% of revenue, as compared to $23.2 million, or 1.8% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Capital expenditures were lower in the prior year due to less capital investments in response to the impact of COVID-19.
Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $63.2 million, as compared to $67.1 million for the same period in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 14.6% in the quarter from 19.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to lower profitability from the Financial Service segment driven by benefit from lower provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by improved profitability from Diversified Industrials segment as a result of higher sales volume in 2021. Adjusted free cash flow was $25.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $13.8 million for the same period in 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $259.8 million and 17.0%, respectively, as compared to $213.7 million and 16.3% in 2020. For year ended December 31, 2021, higher adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily due to improved profitability from both Diversified Industrial and Energy Segments as a result of higher sales volume, as well as from the Financial Services segment driven by lower financial interest expense and lower provision for loan losses. Adjusted free cash flow was $135.8 million, as compared to $149.6 million for the same period in 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $321.0 million in available liquidity under its senior credit agreement, as well as $16.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding WebBank cash, and $261.1 million in long-term investments.
As of December 31, 2021, total debt was $271.0 million, a decrease of $63.1 million, as compared to December 31, 2020. Total debt decreased from the prior year primarily due to the paydown of debt. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 the Company amended and extended its credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by PNC Bank, National Association (“New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, net debt totaled $225.1 million, a decrease of $129.8 million, as compared to December 31, 2020. Net debt decreased from the prior year primarily due to: (1) a $101.1 million decrease in pension obligations primarily due to $51.7 million of actual returns on plan assets and $41.4 million of Company contributions and (2) a $63.1 million decrease of total debt due to the paydown of debt. These decreases were partially offset by $30.2 million of lower investment balances compared to the prior year. Total leverage (as defined in the Company’s senior credit agreement) was approximately 1.6x as of December 31, 2021 versus 2.4x as of December 31, 2020.
During 2021 and continuing in 2022, WebBank has issued loans under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. As of December 31, 2021, the total PPP loans and associated liabilities are $328.7 million and $334.0 million, respectively. The loans were funded by the PPP Liquidity Facility, have terms of between two and five years, and their repayment is guaranteed by the SBA. Loans can be forgiven in whole or part (up to the full principal and any accrued interest) if certain criteria are met. The Bank has received forgiveness payments from the SBA, sold, and received payments from borrowers of $2.8 billion comprising 89.3% of its PPP portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2021.
