Dow reports fourth quarter 2019 results

MIDLAND, Mich.--()--Dow (NYSE: DOW):

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • GAAP loss per share from continuing operations was $3.14; Operating EPS¹ was $0.78. Operating EPS excludes significant items in the quarter, totaling $3.92 per share, primarily related to: the impairment of the remaining Coatings & Performance Monomers acquisition-related goodwill and charges related to Sadara; integration and separation costs; and a tax gain associated with Swiss tax reform.
  • Net sales were $10.2 billion, down 15% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower local prices in all operating segments due to a decline in global energy prices.
  • Volume declined 2% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period, primarily due to lower hydrocarbon co-product sales as a result of planned turnaround activity. Excluding the Hydrocarbons & Energy business, volume rose 2%, driven by demand growth in packaging and construction chemicals applications.
  • Local price declined 12% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. The largest declines were in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, driven by decreases in polyethylene and hydrocarbon co-products, and in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, primarily due to polyurethane intermediates. Currency decreased sales by 1%.
  • Equity losses were $21 million versus pro forma equity earnings of $26 million in the year-ago period. The reduction was primarily due to lower results at the Kuwait joint ventures, driven by margin compression in monoethylene glycol (MEG) and polyethylene.
  • GAAP loss from continuing operations, net of tax, was $2.3 billion. Operating EBIT1 was $1.0 billion, down from pro forma results of $1.3 billion in the year-ago period, reflecting margin compression in Packaging & Specialty Plastics and Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure. These factors were partly offset by margin expansion in Performance Materials & Coatings, savings from stranded cost removal, and the contribution from new polyethylene capacity on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
  • Stranded cost removal in the quarter was more than $35 million, raising the full-year, cumulative stranded cost savings to more than $160 million.
  • Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $1.9 billion, up $531 million versus the year-ago period. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $577 million and free cash flow2 was $1.3 billion.
  • Returns to shareholders totaled $611 million in the quarter, including $517 million in dividends and $94 million in share repurchases. The Company achieved its full-year share repurchase target of $500 million.

CEO QUOTE

Jim Fitterling, chief executive officer, commented on the quarter:

We experienced similar economic headwinds in the quarter as we have seen all year – especially in the industrial sector – which included price and margin compression, in part driven by additional industry supply and uncertain macros. Yet once again, the Dow team navigated these factors by leveraging our core strengths – feedstock flexibility, a lean cost structure, and leading positions in consumer-driven end-markets. Together, these enabled us to capture demand growth, excluding our Hydrocarbons & Energy business, while also delivering another year-over-year improvement in cash from operations.

We also deployed capital to strengthen our financial flexibility and to reward our owners, reducing debt by more than $1 billion and returning more than $600 million to shareholders. We enter 2020 in a stronger competitive and financial position, poised to continue to deliver value for our customers and shareholders.”

Packaging & Specialty Plastics net sales were $4.8 billion, down 18% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. Volume declined 3%, driven primarily by lower hydrocarbon co-product sales that resulted from planned turnaround activity in Europe. Local price declined 14%, and currency decreased net sales by 1%.

Packaging and Specialty Plastics reported a net sales decline, driven by reduced polyethylene product prices. Volume grew 4% with increases in all geographic regions except Latin America, which was flat. The business reported a double-digit demand gain in Asia Pacific. The strongest end-market growth was reported in flexible food and specialty packaging, industrial and consumer packaging, and health and hygiene applications.

Hydrocarbons & Energy reported a decline in net sales with decreases in volume, price and currency. The volume decline was primarily due to planned turnaround activity in Europe, which led to reduced hydrocarbon co-product production and sales.

Equity earnings for the segment were $27 million, down from pro forma equity earnings of $37 million in the year-ago period. The decline was driven by lower earnings from the Kuwait and Thai joint ventures.

Operating EBIT was $648 million, down from pro forma results of $839 million in the year-ago period. Lower polyethylene margins and reduced equity earnings more than offset stranded cost savings and volume gains in the Packaging and Specialty Plastics business.

Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure net sales were $3.3 billion, down 14% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. Volume was flat, local price declined 13%, and currency decreased net sales by 1%.

Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals reported a net sales decline as modest volume growth was more than offset by local price declines which included lower prices for polyurethane intermediates. The business reported volume growth in all geographic regions except the U.S. & Canada.

Industrial Solutions reported lower net sales, primarily driven by price declines in performance intermediates, including ethyleneamines and glycol ethers. The business reported a modest decline in volume, primarily in ethylene glycols, which more than offset growth in heat transfer fluids and pharmaceutical applications.

Equity losses for the segment were $45 million, down from pro forma equity losses of $15 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to margin compression in MEG at the Kuwait joint ventures.

Operating EBIT was $221 million, down from pro forma results of $339 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to margin compression in both businesses and lower equity earnings, partially offset by lower planned maintenance turnaround costs.

Performance Materials & Coatings net sales were $2.0 billion, down 10% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. Volume declined 1%, local price fell 8%, and currency decreased net sales by 1%.

Consumer Solutions reported a decrease in net sales on local price declines in all geographic regions, primarily driven by lower siloxanes prices. Demand contraction, particularly in automotive and consumer electronics end-markets, was partly offset by improved demand for siloxanes in Asia Pacific and the U.S. & Canada as well as volume growth globally in differentiated infrastructure applications.

Coatings & Performance Monomers reported lower net sales on declines in both local price and volume. Coatings volume declined, primarily driven by lower demand in the U.S. & Canada and Europe for architectural binders. Volume grew modestly in functional coatings, including liquid-applied sound damping and wood coatings. Performance Monomers reported volume declines in all geographic regions except Latin America, which was up modestly.

Operating EBIT was $233 million, up from pro forma results of $201 million in the year-ago period, partly due to lower costs in Coatings & Performance Monomers, which was impacted by an extended maintenance turnaround in the same quarter last year, as well as reduced propylene feedstock costs.

OUTLOOK

Building on the consistent execution of our operational playbook in 2019, we are well-positioned to navigate the market dynamics that have carried into 2020 by focusing on the actions in our control,” said Fitterling. “We will continue to advance our pipeline of higher-return, lower-risk investments, particularly in sectors closer to the consumer where demand conditions remain favorable. By taking advantage of our unique feedstock capabilities, we will maintain our competitive cost positions. We expect to further reduce our cost structure over the course of the year as we complete the stranded cost removal. And, we plan to direct our free cash flow toward a balance of debt reduction and returns to shareholders. Taken together, these actions will give us the ability to continue to advance our strategic and financial priorities, outperform the competition and drive value for all our stakeholders.”

Dow Inc. and TDCC assume no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable laws.

Separation from DowDuPont

On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont" and effective June 3, 2019, n/k/a DuPont de Nemours, Inc. or "DuPont") completed the separation of its materials science business and Dow Inc. became the direct parent company of The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("TDCC" and together with Dow Inc., "Dow" or the "Company"), owning all of the outstanding common shares of TDCC. For filings related to the period commencing April 1, 2019 and thereafter, TDCC was deemed the predecessor to Dow Inc., and the historical results of TDCC are deemed the historical results of Dow Inc. for periods prior to and including March 31, 2019. The information in this report reflects the results of Dow and its consolidated subsidiaries, after giving effect to the distribution to DowDuPont of TDCC’s agricultural sciences business (“AgCo”) and specialty products business (“SpecCo”) and the receipt of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries' (“Historical DuPont”) ethylene and ethylene copolymers business (other than its ethylene acrylic elastomers business) ("ECP").

The separation was contemplated by the merger of equals transaction effective August 31, 2017, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017. TDCC and Historical DuPont each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont and, as a result, TDCC and Historical DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, TDCC and Historical DuPont engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. Dow Inc. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the materials science business.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by segment, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in the following financial schedules. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the consolidated financial statements of TDCC, adjusted to give effect to the separation from DowDuPont as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2017. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, pro forma adjustments have been made for (1) the margin impact of various manufacturing, supply and service related agreements entered into with DuPont and Corteva in connection with the separation which provide for different pricing than the historical intercompany and intracompany pricing practices of TDCC and Historical DuPont, (2) the removal of the amortization of ECP's inventory step-up recognized in connection with the Merger, and (3) the elimination of the impact of events directly attributable to the Merger, internal reorganization and business realignment, separation, distribution and other related transactions (e.g., one-time transaction costs). The results for the three months ended December 31, 2019, are presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Dow's results of operations actually would have been had the separation from DowDuPont been completed as of January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Dow. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect restructuring or integration activities or other costs following the separation from DowDuPont that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth synergies of Dow. For further information on the unaudited pro forma financial information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 3, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include the Company's pro forma consolidated results and pro forma earnings per share on an adjusted basis. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 13. Dow does not provide forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.

Operating earnings per share is defined as "Earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items. Pro forma operating earnings per share is defined as "Pro Forma earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items. Pro forma operating EBIT is defined as pro forma earnings (i.e., "Pro Forma income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales. Pro forma Operating EBIT margin is defined as pro forma Operating EBIT as a percentage of pro forma net sales.

Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items. Pro forma operating EBITDA is defined as pro forma earnings (i.e., "Pro Forma income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.

Cash flows from operating activities - continuing operations, excluding the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-15 and related interpretive guidance. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is relevant and meaningful as it presents cash flows from operating activities inclusive of all trade accounts receivable collection activity, which Dow utilizes in support of its operating activities.

Free cash flow is defined as "Cash Flow from Operating Activities - Continuing Operations," excluding the impact of ASU 2016-15, less capital expenditures. Under this definition, free cash flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free cash flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free cash flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.
