Materion Corporation Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--()--Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported first quarter 2024 financial results and provided an update to 2024 earnings guidance.

Financial Summary

  • Net sales were $385.3 million; value-added sales1 were $257.8 million
  • Net income was $13.4 million, or $0.64 per share, diluted, and adjusted earnings of $0.96 per share
  • Full year adjusted earnings outlook updated to $5.60-$6.20 per share, a 5% increase year over year at the midpoint

FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Net sales for the quarter were $385.3 million, compared to $442.5 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $257.8 million for the quarter, down 14% from the prior year primarily due to continued semiconductor and industrial market weakness combined with some temporary operational challenges. This year-over-year decline was partially offset by strength in the space & defense markets.

Operating profit for the quarter was $22.2 million and net income was $13.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $36.9 million and net income of $25.6 million, or $1.23 per share, in the prior year period.

Excluding special items2, adjusted EBITDA3 was $45.2 million in the quarter or 17.5% of value-added sales, compared to $53.4 million or 17.9% of value-added sales in the prior year period. This decline was driven by lower volume, partially offset by the benefit of cost improvement initiatives, resulting in comparable margins year on year.

Adjusted net income was $20.1 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $1.34 per share in the prior year period.

“Temporary operational challenges and softer market demand led to results falling short of our expectations for the first time in several quarters,” Materion President & CEO Jugal Vijayvargiya said. “I am proud of our team for mobilizing quickly to mitigate the impact to the quarter and deliver strong margins comparable to last year. The actions taken are also driving structural improvements that will deliver even more value as key markets recover.”

“As we manage through the current environment to drive another year of record results, we remain sharply focused on executing our strategy, delivering on our organic outgrowth initiatives and investing in new capacity and capabilities that will drive long term value for our stakeholders.”

OUTLOOK

Despite a weaker than anticipated first quarter, we expect to deliver another year of record results as we execute our organic and operational excellence initiatives. Since the beginning of the year, the outlook for the commercial aerospace and electric vehicle end-markets has softened and we expect some inventory correction from our precision clad strip customer in the second half. In addition, we expect higher interest expense with the current rate projections. While we expect to mitigate much of the impact of these items through targeted cost reduction initiatives and performance, we are adjusting our outlook to $5.60 to $6.20 for the full year 2024 adjusted earnings per share, an increase of 5% from prior year at the midpoint.

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 8 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 (which includes costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand) and additional start up resources and scrap. 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.
