PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (NYSE:AXTA) (“Axalta”), a leading global
coatings company, announced its financial results for the fourth quarter
and full year ended December 31, 2016.
“Axalta’s 2016 financial period ended on a strong note, with fourth
quarter net sales and operating performance slightly exceeding the
expectations set in October, driven by volume and favorable product mix.
For the full year, we also met our key objectives in terms of financial
and operating performance, despite a somewhat greater foreign currency
headwind,” said Charles W. Shaver, Axalta’s Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. “We are proud of the progress we made this year, including
achieving positive growth in a tough global economy, successfully
executing on our M&A strategy, meeting our leverage target ahead of
plan, and improving productivity through our Axalta Way initiatives. Key
milestones were also met in new product technology introduction,
refinancing our capital structure, and progressing our product
globalization and commercial excellence objectives. We look forward to
ongoing momentum in each of these areas in 2017.”
Fourth Quarter 2016 Consolidated Financial Results
Net sales of $1,029.4 million for the fourth quarter benefited from both
volume and pricing growth, offset by a 3.0% negative impact from foreign
currency translation. Constant currency net sales increased 5.6%
compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by 2.2% higher average selling
prices and 3.4% volume growth. Acquisitions contributed 3.1% of the
volume growth in the quarter. Net sales growth in the quarter was led by
Asia Pacific and North America, and Axalta posted positive overall
volume growth in all regions except Latin America, which remains
challenged in both segments.
We reported a net loss attributable to Axalta of $36.5 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared with net income attributable to Axalta
of $38.6 million in Q4 2015. The net loss in Q4 2016 was primarily
driven by severance charges related to planned productivity initiatives,
the write-down of long-lived assets in Venezuela, and charges related to
the refinancing of our Term Loans during Q4. Adjusted net income
attributable to Axalta of $68.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016
increased 18.3% compared to $58.0 million in Q4 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA of $226.5 million for the fourth quarter increased 6.4%
compared to $212.8 million in Q4 2015. This result benefited from lower
variable costs, acquisitions, improved average pricing as well as
incremental savings from our operating enhancement initiatives. These
factors were somewhat offset by negative foreign currency translation
and operational expenditures to support planned growth.
Performance Coatings Results
Performance Coatings net sales were $608.8 million in Q4 2016, an
increase of 3.4% year-over-year including a 4.3% unfavorable foreign
currency translation impact. Constant currency net sales increased 7.7%,
driven by a 2.5% increase in volumes and higher average selling prices
of 5.2% in the period. Acquisitions added 4.3% to volume growth in the
quarter. Refinish end-market net sales increased 0.1% to $422.4 million
in Q4 2016 (increased 4.9% excluding foreign currency translation),
while our Industrial end-market increased 11.8% to $186.4 million
(increased 14.8% excluding foreign currency translation).
The Performance Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $138.5
million in the fourth quarter, a 5.8% year-over-year increase.
Contribution from acquisitions, positive pricing, coupled with variable
cost savings, were partially offset by negative foreign currency
translation and incremental operating expense to support growth
initiatives. Fourth quarter segment Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.7%
reflected a 50 basis point increase compared to Q4 2015.
Transportation Coatings Results
Transportation Coatings net sales were $420.6 million in Q4 2016, an
increase of 1.3% year-over-year including a 1.4% unfavorable foreign
currency translation impact. Constant currency net sales increased 2.7%
versus Q4 2015, driven largely by 4.7% volume growth, partially offset
by a 2.0% negative price impact. Acquisitions added 1.5% to volume
growth in the period.
Light Vehicle net sales increased 5.0% to $342.8 million year-over-year
(increased 6.6% excluding foreign currency translation), driven
principally by growth in Asia Pacific and North America versus last
year, offset by modest decline in EMEA. Latin America saw the first
positive revenue growth in several years, driven largely by Mexico with
stable South America results versus prior periods. Commercial Vehicle
net sales decreased 12.2% to $77.8 million versus last year (decreased
11.5% excluding foreign currency translation), driven by lower heavy
truck production and ongoing slower volumes from other non-truck
customers.
Transportation Coatings generated Adjusted EBITDA of $88.0 million in Q4
2016, an increase of 7.4% versus Q4 2015, with positive volume and
variable cost contributions partially offset by somewhat lower average
pricing, and ongoing operating expense increases to support planned
growth. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.9% in Q4 represented a 120
basis point increase from 19.7% in the prior year quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $535.4 million.
Our debt, net of cash, was $2,728.5 million as of December 31, 2016,
compared to $2,956.5 million at December 31, 2015. During the quarter we
completed an amendment of our USD and Euro Term Loans which included a
shift of the USD/Euro mix, repricing and extension of maturities. The
amendment will reduce our interest payments by approximately $8 million
annually. We also prepaid $150 million of our USD Term Loan in October
for an additional annual interest savings of $5.6 million.
Fourth quarter operating cash flow was $228.0 million versus $237.1
million in the corresponding quarter of 2015, reflecting another strong
seasonal operating result derived largely from strong operations and
working capital performance. Free cash flow, calculated as operating
cash flow less capital expenditures, totaled $187.1 million after
capital expenditures of $40.9 million. For the full year 2016, free cash
flow was $423.1 million, a significant increase from $271.7 million
reported in 2015.
“We are very pleased that in the fourth quarter we were able to
demonstrate strong operating and financial performance, including solid
revenue growth as well as record Adjusted EBITDA margins. We also
completed additional refinancing to further optimize our capital
structure, and ended the year with very strong cash flow,” said Robert
W. Bryant, Axalta’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer. “As we noted in December and affirm today, we continue to
expect 2017 to show incremental progress across the organization,
including ongoing above-market growth in net sales, modest incremental
margin expansion, continued benefit from our acquisition strategy, and
improvement in free cash flow and associated metrics.”
Adoption of New Share-based Compensation Expense Accounting
Standard
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, Axalta early adopted
ASU 2016-09, which addresses, among other items, the accounting for
income taxes, calculations on diluted weighted average shares
outstanding, and cash flow presentation relating to share-based
compensation. The early adoption increased net income attributable to
Axalta by $2.6 million and $13.4 million for both the three months and
full year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The impact of adoption
increased Axalta's dilutive shares by 1.3 million shares and 1.7 million
shares for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016,
respectively. Axalta will provide more detailed information regarding
the impact of the early adoption in its annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2016.
2017 Guidance Update
We are updating our outlook for the full year 2017 as follows:
• Net sales growth of 1-3% as-reported; 4-6% ex-FX, including
acquisition contribution of 2-3%
• Adjusted EBITDA of $930-980 million
• Interest expense of ~$150 million
• Income tax rate, as adjusted, of 22-24%
• Free cash flow of $440-480 million
• Capital expenditures of ~$160 million
• Depreciation and amortization of ~$335 million
• Diluted shares outstanding of 246-249 million

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding
Axalta and its subsidiaries including those relating to interest
savings, returns generated by acquisitions, margin expansion, as well as
our 2017 full year outlook, including net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA,
interest expense, income tax rate, as adjusted, free cash flow, capital
expenditures, depreciation and amortization, and diluted shares
outstanding. 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. More information on potential factors that could affect
Axalta's financial results is available in the "Risk Factors" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" section within Axalta's most recent annual report on Form
10-K, and in other documents that we have filed with, or furnished to,
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, income tax rate, as
adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, 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. Adjusted EBITDA
consists of EBITDA adjusted for (i) non-cash items included within net
income, (ii) items Axalta does not believe are indicative of ongoing
operating performance or (iii) nonrecurring or infrequent items that
Axalta believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two
years. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors
meaningful information to understand our operating results and ability
to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.
Adjusted net income shows the adjusted value of net income (loss)
attributable to controlling interests after removing the items that are
determined by management to be items that we do not consider indicative
of our ongoing operating performance or unusual or nonrecurring in
nature. Our use of the terms constant currency net sales growth, income
tax rate, as adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt
and Adjusted net income may differ from that of others in our industry.
Constant currency net sales growth, income tax rate, as adjusted,
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, 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, income tax rate, as adjusted,
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, 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. Axalta does not
provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for constant currency
net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, income tax rate, as adjusted, or free
cash flow on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary
to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is
not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling
items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses,
gains or losses that are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, as well as
discrete taxable events. We cannot estimate or project these items and
they may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on our US GAAP
results.
Segment Financial Measures
The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA,
which is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business
performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year
financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects
Axalta’s core operating performance. As we do not measure segment
operating performance based on net income (loss), a reconciliation of
this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is not available.
