JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:RYAM) today reported third quarter 2017 net income of $16 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share compared to $22 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter 2017 pro forma net income was $10 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, compared to $22 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter 2017 pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share are adjusted for transaction costs and an unrealized gain on a derivative instrument, both associated with the pending acquisition of Tembec. Additionally, the 2017 earnings per diluted common share amount reflects the impact of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock issuance in the third quarter of 2016.
Year-to-date net income was $30 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share compared to $62 million, or $1.38 per diluted common share in 2016. Year to date pro forma net income was $28 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share, compared to $56 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share in 2016. In addition to the 2017 impact of the pro forma adjustments mentioned above, 2016 pro forma net income and diluted earnings per common share reflect an adjustment for a gain on debt extinguishment associated with the repurchase of Senior Notes.
Both third quarter and year-to-date net income were negatively impacted by $3 million due to Hurricane Irma, which forced the closure of both of the Company’s manufacturing facilities during September. For the full year, the Company expects a $7 million impact to net income from the hurricane due to higher costs and reduced sales volumes as a result of lost production and shipment delays.
“Despite the significant weather event, the team did a commendable job of safely managing our assets and keeping our customers’ informed and their operational needs met,” said Paul Boynton, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While the hurricane significantly impacted our operations and financial results, excluding the event, our results for the quarter would have kept us in-line with our full year plan.”
Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Operating Results
Third quarter 2017 sales were $210 million compared to $207 million in the prior year, an increase of $3 million, or 1 percent. The change in net sales was driven by improved commodity sales prices due to a shift in production from absorbent materials to commodity viscose and improved commodity markets resulting in higher sales prices for both commodity viscose and absorbent materials. Commodity sales volumes increased due to the timing of revenue recognition, partially offset by discrete production issues during the quarter. A decline in cellulose specialties sales prices of 2 percent, as expected, and slightly lower cellulose specialties sales volumes, partly offset the commodity sales increase.
Year-to-date sales were $612 million compared to $638 million in the prior year, a decrease of $26 million, or 4 percent. The change in net sales was driven by a decline in cellulose specialties sales prices of 5 percent, as expected, and slightly lower cellulose specialties sales volumes primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition. Commodity sales prices improved due to stronger commodity markets resulting in higher sales prices for both commodity viscose and absorbent materials. Commodity sales volumes decreased due to a shift in production from absorbent materials to commodity viscose and production issues.
Third quarter and year-to-date 2017 operating income was $18 million and $57 million, respectively, $23 million and $55 million less than the prior year respective comparable periods. Excluding the impact of the costs associated with the pending acquisition of Tembec, third quarter and year-to-date 2017 pro forma operating income was $23 million and $70 million, respectively, $18 million and $42 million less than prior year respective comparable periods. The third quarter and year-to-date 2017 results reflect lower cellulose specialties sales prices and higher commodity product sales prices, as previously discussed. Savings from Cost Transformation were more than offset by costs incurred to achieve additional future savings, higher production expenses due to sales mix, chemical prices and production issues, as well as, investments in customer product development. In addition, results were unfavorably impacted by $5 million from the impact of Hurricane Irma. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased for the quarter primarily due to lower stock compensation expense. Year-to-date selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly due to costs related to New Product development activities.
Year-to-date 2017, the Company has realized approximately $23 million in gross cost savings against its Cost Transformation target of $30 million, primarily due to cost improvements in supply chain, chemical usage and wood optimization. Savings from the Cost Transformation pillar now total $108 million since inception.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest expense, net of interest income and other expense, was $25 million for 2017, comparable to the prior year as a result of lower outstanding debt and favorable interest income on higher cash balances, offset by higher LIBOR interest rates on floating rate debt.
Income Tax Expense
The year-to-date effective tax rate was 38 percent, compared to 35 percent during the prior year period. The current period effective tax rate reflects the accounting impact of the write-off of the deferred tax asset associated with the 2014 employee incentive stock grant, which did not vest.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Year-to-date, the Company generated operating cash flows of $118 million and adjusted free cash flows of $77 million. As a result, debt was reduced $3 million to $780 million, while net debt was reduced $58 million to $408 million. With strong adjusted free cash flows, the Company ended the third quarter with $379 million of cash and $622 million of total liquidity, including $243 million available under the revolving credit facility after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.
On August 17, 2017, the Company received commitments from lenders to borrow up to $680 million to fund the Tembec acquisition through the refinancing of existing term loans. In preparation for the acquisition and subsequent to the quarter end, the Company made additional principal payments of $268 million on the term loans on September 26, 2017.
Guidance and Outlook
The impact of Hurricane Irma and the operational disruption of a major customer’s production will have a significant negative impact on full year guidance, but its impact is expected to be limited to 2017. For the full year 2017, the Company now expects cellulose specialties sales prices and volumes to decline approximately 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively, from the previous year. The reductions in full year cellulose specialties sales volumes are driven by the negative impact from Hurricane Irma and the previously announced operational upset of a major customer. Additionally, commodity sales volumes are expected to decline 9 percent over last year. Commodity sales volumes were also impacted by Hurricane Irma and the planned shift in production from absorbent materials to commodity viscose, as well as production issues. As a result, the Company expects net income of approximately $25 million and pro forma EBITDA of approximately $180 million. Cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flows are anticipated to be $121 to $126 million and $80 to $85 million, respectively. The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $50 million plus strategic capital spending related to the investment in the LignoTech Florida project of $5 million.
Ethers and other cellulose specialties end-use demand continue to show strength and will provide opportunities for the Company to expand future sales in these faster growing end-uses. The acquisition of Tembec and its strong position in the ethers end-use, allows the Company to further diversify its portfolio of products. In acetate, excess capacity coupled with flat demand growth for acetate tow products is creating a very competitive sales environment. The Company believes its cost transformation efforts and the pending acquisition of Tembec, progress in market optimization and new products, position it well for future growth.
“The third quarter and the full year results are being negatively impacted by events outside our control. I am proud of each employee’s focus and effort during these challenging months to minimize the impact to our performance. Without these two significant disruptions, we would continue to be at the higher end of our original full year EBITDA outlook,” Boynton concluded. “We are a resilient company and focused on the future, which includes significant growth opportunities including the acquisition of Tembec, the completion of LignoTech Florida, the continued cost transformation of our business and the execution of our four pillars of growth.”

In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expenses and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management provides reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Guided Non-GAAP Measures
September 23, 2017 (Unaudited)
(millions of dollars, except per share information)
The following schedules include non-GAAP measures related to management’s performance expectations for the future. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, they are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes; however, we do not consider these non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon, in whole or part, in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.
