First Quarter 2023 Consolidated Results

First quarter of 2023 net sales were a record $500.1 million, an increase of 5% compared to $474.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to an increase in selling price and product mix of approximately 19% partially offset by an 11% decrease in sales volumes and a 3% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. selli The increase in selling price and product mix was primarily attributable to double-digit increases in selling prices in all segments to offset the significant inflationary pressures on the business.  The decline in sales volumes was primarily attributable to a continuation of softer market conditions, especially in Asia/Pacific and EMEA, and the impact of the war in Ukraine.

The Company reported net income in the first quarter of 2023 of $29.5 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared to net income of $19.8 million or $1.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022.  Excluding non-recurring and non-core items in each period, the Company's first quarter of 2023 non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share were $34.0 million and $1.89 respectively compared to $25.5 million and $1.42 respectively in the prior year quarter. The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $78.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 30% compared to $60.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in net sales and a recovery in gross margins compared to the prior year quarter.

Andy Tometich, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "The first quarter was a strong start to the year for Quaker Houghton, as we continued to execute on our key financial and operational priorities.  We achieved record net sales, continued margin recovery, a double-digit improvement in earnings and generated solid cash flow.  Our results underscore the resilience of our people and our portfolio and the commitment to strengthening our business to continue to deliver profitable growth ahead of the market.

"We are encouraged by our results in the first quarter despite the complexities and uncertainties in the current operating environment, which are likely to persist as we progress through 2023. We will continue to prioritize investments in our strategic initiatives to increase customer solutions, lead in sustainability and enhance our differentiated customer intimate model.  We believe these actions, and our commitment to a recovery in margins and cash flow generation, will best position the Company for long-term success."

First Quarter 2023 Segment Results

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reorganized its executive management team to align with its new business structure. The Company's new structure includes three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific. Prior to the Company's reorganization, the Company's historical reportable segments were: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses. Prior period information has been recast to align with the Company's business structure as of January 1, 2023.

The Company's first quarter of 2023 operating performance of each of its three reportable segments, (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific, are further described below.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Net Sales *
Americas	$         251,413		$         212,091
EMEA	152,449		146,819
Asia/Pacific	96,286		115,261
Total net sales	$         500,148		$         474,171
Segment operating earnings *
Americas	$           66,125		$           45,022
EMEA	27,571		23,247
Asia/Pacific	27,652		24,501
Total segment operating earnings	$         121,348		$           92,770

*  Refer to the Segment Measures and Reconciliations section below for additional information

In the first quarter of 2023, the Americas segment once again delivered double-digit year-over-year net sales growth driven by increases in selling price and product mix, partially offset by a modest decline in sales volumes primarily related to softer market conditions.  Net sales growth in the EMEA segment was similarly a result of double-digit increases in selling price and product mix, partially offset by a decline in sales volumes primarily due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, softer market conditions and the wind-down of the tolling agreement for products previously divested related to the Quaker Houghton combination, and a headwind from foreign currency translation.  Net sales in the Asia/Pacific segment declined compared to the prior year quarter as a decline in sales volumes, driven by softer market conditions and our value based pricing actions, and a headwind from foreign currency translation offset double-digit increases in selling price and product mix. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, net sales and sales volumes increased in the Americas and EMEA segment but declined in Asia/Pacific.

Operating earnings increased in all three segments in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year, primarily driven by an improvement in operating margins in all segments and partially offset by continued inflationary pressures on our business and the ongoing war in Ukraine on our EMEA segment. All segments also delivered an improvement in operating margins compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights

Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.  The improvement in net operating cash flow primarily reflects an improved operating performance and working capital management in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company's total gross debt was $942.8 million, and its cash and cash equivalents was $189.9 million, which resulted in net debt of approximately $752.9 million.  The Company's net debt divided by its trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was approximately 2.7x.

In order to manage the Company's exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into $300.0 million notional amounts of three-year interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's variable rate borrowings into an average fixed rate obligation.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

The information included in this press release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share.  The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader's understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations.  Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, as discussed and reconciled below to the most comparable respective GAAP measures, may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies

The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies.  The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by investors, analysts, and peers in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

Additionally, the Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures.  Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies, in each case adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA.  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the "two-class share method." The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by investors, analysts, and peers in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

As it relates to future projections for the Company as well as other forward-looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort.  These items include, but are not limited to, certain non-recurring or non-core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, as well as the impact of COVID-19.  These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

The Company's reference to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA within this press release refers to the twelve month period ended March 31, 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $275.5 million, which includes (i) the three months ended March 31, 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $78.8 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below, and (ii) the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $257.2 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations included in the Company's fourth quarter and full year 2022 results press release dated February 23, 2023, less (iii) the three months ended March 31, 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $60.4 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below.

Certain of the prior period non-GAAP financial measures presented in the following tables have been adjusted to conform with current period presentation.  The following tables reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures (unaudited) to their most directly comparable GAAP (unaudited) financial measures (dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts):

This caption also includes the impact of specific tax charges and benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which the Company does not consider core to the Company's operations or indicative of future performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  We have based these forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia and Ukraine conflict, inflation, bank failures, higher interest rate environment, global supply chain constraints on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain sufficient liquidity, remain in compliance with the terms of the Company's credit facility,  expectations about future demand and raw material costs, and statements regarding the impact of increased raw material costs and pricing initiatives, on our current expectations about future events.  These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, including but not limited to the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements.  A major risk is that demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related to downturns in a customer's business and unanticipated customer production slowdowns and shutdowns, including as is currently being experienced by many automotive industry companies as a result of supply chain disruptions.  Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, as well as inflationary pressures, including the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer financial instability, rising interest rates and the potential of economic recession, worldwide economic and political disruptions, including the impacts of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the economic and other sanctions imposed by other nations on Russia, suspensions of activities in Russia by many multinational companies and the potential expansion of military activity, foreign currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries.  Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.  All forward-looking statements included in this press release, including expectations about business conditions during 2023 and future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release, which may change.  Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.  For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.  This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
