Volume growth of 5% year-over-year overall with growth in all regions

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (NYSE:AXTA) (“Axalta”), a leading global
coatings company, announced its financial results for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2015.
“We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which beat our
expectations in most business areas as we continue to execute our
strategy of unlocking Axalta’s growth potential while also maximizing
overall business efficiency and profitability. Progress on both of these
core goals was made during the quarter, with volumes growing solidly and
our productivity plans on target. In spite of a challenging economic
backdrop in certain countries and ongoing volatility in foreign
currency, Axalta’s key end-markets remain fundamentally stable and
supportive in most areas,” said Charles W. Shaver, Axalta’s Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. “Given our solid first half results, we
continue to expect to meet our financial goals for 2015 and have raised
the low-end of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance as a reflection of this
performance to date.”
Second Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
Net sales of $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2015 represented an
8.2% increase year-over-year excluding negative foreign currency
translation, and a decrease of 2.9% on an as-reported basis. This net
sales growth was driven by 4.8% volume increases, including growth in
all regions and strong double-digit growth in Asia Pacific, reflecting
the ongoing ramp-up in China new vehicle builds related to new business
for Axalta. Higher average selling prices in the quarter added 3.4% to
net sales, while unfavorable foreign currency translation reduced net
sales by 11.1%.
Adjusted EBITDA of $255.5 million for the second quarter represented an
increase of 15.6% year-over-year while Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded
to 23.4% from 19.6% reported in Q2 2014. This result reflected the
positive effect of volume growth across both of our segments, pricing
benefits in select end-markets, as well as a moderate benefit from lower
operating and raw material costs given continued progress on our
productivity and procurement initiatives. These factors were partially
offset by negative foreign currency impacts and costs associated with
certain operating investments made to support future growth across our
businesses.
Performance Coatings Results
Net sales in Performance Coatings of $638.8 million for the second
quarter of 2015 represented an 8.2% increase year-over-year excluding
negative foreign currency translation, and a decrease of 3.9% on an
as-reported basis. Net sales growth drivers included volume growth of
2.0% and higher average selling prices of 6.2% in the period, more than
offset by 12.1% unfavorable currency translation impact. Refinish
end-market net sales increased 10.0% on a constant currency basis in the
second quarter (decreased 2.3% as-reported), while our Industrial
end-market posted 3.8% growth excluding the impact of currency
(decreased 7.9% as-reported).
The Performance Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $162.1
million in the second quarter, an 18.6% year-over-year increase. This
result reflected positive volumes and pricing growth contributions,
offset in part by negative foreign currency translation and modestly
higher operating expenses from growth investments. Performance Coatings
segment Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.4% for the second quarter reflected
a 480 basis point increase compared to the corresponding quarter of the
prior year.
Transportation Coatings Results
The Transportation Coatings segment generated net sales of $455.3
million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 8.1% excluding
foreign currency impacts, and a decrease of 1.4% on an as-reported
basis, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Volume growth of 8.8% was
the principal contributor to net sales growth, offset by unfavorable
foreign currency translation which impacted net sales by 9.5% versus the
prior year. Light Vehicle end-market net sales increased 5.5% on a
constant currency basis compared to the second quarter of 2014
(decreased 4.5% as-reported). Our Commercial Vehicle end-market reported
strong net sales growth of 17.9% on a constant currency basis versus
last year (10.1% as-reported). Similar to the first quarter of 2015,
Light Vehicle net sales growth was particularly robust in Asia Pacific
and North America, with stable performance in Latin America and EMEA.
Asia Pacific volume growth of over 25% was led by the continued ramp-up
of volumes in China, where Axalta continues to launch business with
customers based on contracts won over the previous two years. In the
Commercial Vehicle end-market, strong heavy-duty truck production
continued to drive solid growth from North America, while volumes
continue to ramp strongly with relatively newer customers in Asia
Pacific.
The Transportation Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $93.4
million, an increase of 10.7% compared to the second quarter of 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven largely by positive volume effects as
well as increased productivity from our operational improvement
initiatives, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign
currency translation. The Transportation Coatings segment generated an
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.5%, an increase of 223 basis points
compared to the second quarter of 2014.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $307.8 million.
Our net debt was $3,251.5 million as of June 30, 2015, which resulted in
a second quarter Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.7x.
Second quarter operating cash flow was $103.7 million versus $80.9
million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Free cash flow
after capital expenditures of $25.1 million totaled $78.6 million.
“We are pleased with our overall financial position as of the end of the
second quarter 2015,” said Robert W. Bryant, Axalta’s Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are on track to generate
solid free cash flow in 2015 and are making good progress on our growth
and productivity-oriented capital investment projects that we expect to
provide strong returns on investment.”
2015 Outlook
We are updating our outlook for the full year 2015, including:
-
Net sales growth of 5-7% in constant currency and down low- to
mid-single digits versus previous expectation of flat-to-slightly down
including currency impacts;
-
Adjusted EBITDA expectation of $870-$900 million up from $860-$900
million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 20%; Q3
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of full year Adjusted EBITDA is
expected to be 23%-25%; and
-
Other guidance assumptions remain unchanged including normalized
effective tax rate of 27-29%, capital expenditures of approximately
$150 million, and net working capital of 13-15% of net sales,
excluding non-recurring items.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding
Axalta and its subsidiaries including those relating to our 2015 full
year outlook, net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, effective tax rate,
free cash flow, capital expenditures and net working capital. All of
these statements are based on management’s expectations as well as
estimates and assumptions prepared by management that, although they
believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. These statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of
Axalta’s control that may cause its business, industry, strategy,
financing activities or actual results to differ materially. Axalta
undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking
statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The historical financial information included in this presentation
includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”),
including constant currency net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt
and Adjusted Net Income. Management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures in the analysis of our financial and operating performance
because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our
business. Our use of the terms constant currency net sales growth,
Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Net Income may differ from that
of others in our industry. Constant currency net sales growth, Adjusted
EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as
alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), income (loss) before
operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with
GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as
measures of liquidity. Constant currency net sales growth, Adjusted
EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Net Income have important limitations as
analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not
as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This
presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial
measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated
in accordance with GAAP.
