MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported record fourth quarter and full-year 2022 financial results, provided 2023 earnings guidance, and shared an update on key strategic initiatives.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Net sales were $434.6 million; value-added sales¹ increased 30% year over year to a record $309.2 million
• Operating profit was $39.2 million; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) was a record at $55.6 million, or 18.0% of value-added sales, a 120-basis point margin expansion year over year
• Net income of $1.38 per share, diluted; adjusted earnings per share of $1.49, up 32% year over year and an all-time record for the Company

Full Year 2022 Highlights

• Net sales were $1.76 billion; value-added sales were a record $1.14 billion, up 33% from the prior year
• Operating profit was $119.8 million; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) was an annual record at $196.0 million, or 17.1% of value-added sales
• Net income of $4.14 per share, diluted; record adjusted earnings per share of $5.27, up 30% from prior year

Announcing Two New Customer Partnerships

• Secured a customer funded project with a $15 million upfront investment to expand production capabilities to supply critical materials for clean energy power generation
• Awarded a 3-year supply agreement, with an initial $10 million order, to supply materials for space propulsion systems

“Our people continue to execute exceptionally well, growing our pipeline of organic initiatives, building out a leading-edge portfolio and developing new and deeper partnerships with our customers,” Jugal Vijayvargiya, Materion President and CEO said. “Our global team continues to raise the bar for performance, delivering another quarter of outstanding results, capping off another record year for our company.”

“This year we made many important advancements in our transformation, starting with the successful integration of HCS Electronic Materials, where the power of our combined teams is generating value beyond our expectations,” Vijayvargiya added. “The combination of our organic and inorganic initiatives has led to eleven consecutive quarters of top line growth and has positioned us well to continue our growth trajectory in 2023.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Net sales for the quarter were $434.6 million, compared to $397.2 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales of $309.2 million were a quarterly record, up 30% from the prior year. In addition to the benefit of the HCS-Electronic Materials acquisition, organic² value-added sales were up 26% driven by strong performance across several major end markets including industrial, energy and aerospace, as well as contribution from the precision clad strip project.

Operating profit for the quarter was $39.2 million and net income was $28.8 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $15.5 million and net income of $19.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Excluding special items, detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBITDA was $55.6 million in the quarter, another quarterly record for the company, compared to $39.8 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher volume and favorable pricing more than offsetting cost inflation.

Adjusted net income was $30.9 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.49 per diluted share, an increase of 32% compared to $1.13 per share in the prior year period.

FULL-YEAR 2022 RESULTS

Net sales were $1.76 billion, an increase of 16% as compared to the prior year. Value-added sales of $1.14 billion were up 33% from the prior year. Double-digit organic value-added sales growth across most major end markets, as well as incremental sales related to the acquisition of HCS-Electronic Materials drove the increase.

Operating profit for the full year was $119.8 million and net income was $86.0 million, or $4.14 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $77.1 million and net income of $72.5 million, or $3.50 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Excluding special items, detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBITDA was $196.0 million for the full year, another annual record for the company, compared to $143.6 million in the prior year. The significant increase was driven mainly by higher volume, favorable pricing more than offsetting cost inflation and the benefit of the HCS Electronic Materials acquisition.

Adjusted net income was $109.5 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $5.27 per diluted share, an increase of 30% compared to $4.06 per share in the prior year period.

OUTLOOK

Despite an expectation of short-term softness in certain markets, we expect another year of strong end market outgrowth as a direct result of our organic initiatives. With this, we are guiding to the range of $5.50 to $5.90 for full year 2023 adjusted earnings per share, an increase of 8% at the midpoint versus the prior year.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE

It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 7 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.   The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items such as restructuring and cost reductions, additional start up resources and scrap and merger and acquisition costs. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
