Positive
  • Record Q3 adjusted EBITDA of $56.7 million, up from $55.4 million year-over-year
  • Achieved record quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.5%
  • Net sales increased to $436.7 million from $403.1 million in prior year
  • Strong performance in space, defense, and semiconductor segments
Negative
  • Value-added sales decreased 2% year-over-year
  • Net income declined to $22.3 million from $26.6 million in prior year
  • Adjusted earnings per share decreased to $1.41 from $1.51 year-over-year
  • Weak end market conditions affecting overall performance

Insights

The Q3 results show mixed performance with notable strengths and challenges. $436.7M in net sales represents a 8.3% YoY increase, though value-added sales declined 2%. The company achieved record Q3 adjusted EBITDA of $56.7M with impressive margins of 21.5%, demonstrating strong operational efficiency despite market headwinds.

The strategic sale of the non-core large area targets business and cost optimization initiatives signal management's focus on portfolio refinement and margin improvement. The adjusted EPS guidance of $5.20 to $5.40 for FY2024 suggests stable performance despite market softness.

The semiconductor segment shows signs of recovery, while space and defense remain strong growth drivers. However, general market weakness and lower precision clad strip sales indicate ongoing challenges in certain segments.

The strategic positioning in high-growth sectors like semiconductors, aerospace & defense shows promise for long-term value creation. The company's focus on technical solutions and engagement with customer challenges demonstrates strong market adaptation.

Key performance indicators reveal operational resilience:

  • Record EBITDA margin at 21.5% despite volume challenges
  • Adjusted EPS of $1.41 maintaining profitability
  • Strategic cost management offsetting market weakness
The divestment of the Albuquerque facility aligns with the strategy to optimize the business portfolio and focus on higher-margin opportunities.

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported third quarter 2024 financial results.

Financial Summary

  • Net sales were $436.7 million; value-added sales1 were $263.8 million
  • Net income was $22.3 million, or $1.07 per share, diluted; adjusted earnings of $1.41 per share
  • Operating profit of $31.3 million; record third quarter adjusted EBITDA2 of $56.7 million versus $55.4 million in the prior year quarter

Business Highlights

  • Strategic actions implemented to reduce cost and deliver strong performance despite soft environment
  • Announcing sale of non-core large area targets business for architectural glass in Albuquerque, New Mexico4
  • Appointed new Precision Optics President to lead business transformation

“I am proud of the outstanding performance our team delivered, despite weak end market conditions,” Jugal Vijayvargiya, Materion President & CEO said. “While navigating this challenging environment, we are strengthening the company by shedding low margin business, optimizing our operational footprint and improving the cost structure to position us for strong performance as markets recover.”

“We continue to win new business by working with our customers to develop solutions to their most challenging technical problems, while remaining laser focused on delivering on our organic growth initiatives and driving efficiencies across all areas of our business,” Vijayvargiya added. “Through the combination of these efforts, we’ve set a solid foundation that will enable us to drive sustainable long-term growth as global megatrends continue to open up new opportunities for our products and solutions.”

THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Net sales for the quarter were $436.7 million, compared to $403.1 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $263.8 million for the quarter, down 2% from the prior year period primarily driven by general market softness combined with lower precision clad strip sales. This decrease was partially offset by strength in space and defense and improvement in semiconductor.

Operating profit for the quarter was $31.3 million and net income was $22.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $36.5 million and net income of $26.6 million, or $1.27 per share, in the prior year period.

Excluding special items3, EBITDA was $56.7 million in the quarter or 21.5% of value-added sales, a quarterly margin record, compared to $55.4 million or 20.5% of value-added sales in the prior year period. Despite lower volume, this record margin was driven by strong cost management and operational performance.

Adjusted net income was $29.6 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $1.51 per share in the prior year period.

OUTLOOK

While conditions in many of our end markets remain weak, we expect to deliver a solid fourth quarter with a stronger top line combined with the continued benefit of our cost and footprint initiatives. With that, we expect to deliver full year 2024 adjusted earnings in the range of $5.20 to $5.40 per share.

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, including the following:

(1) Restructuring and cost reduction – Costs include restructuring charges, costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand and costs associated with disposal of assets associated with obsolete products.

(2) Electronic Materials inventory adjustment – During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined that material costs from prior years were understated due to unrecognized metal refine expense and other inventory adjustments.

(3) Business transformation costs – Represents project management and implementation expenses related to the Company's automation and transformation initiatives.

(4) Additional start up resources and scrap – Represents incremental resource, consulting and specialists costs incurred related to the ramp of the precision clad strip facility and scrap related to product qualifications.

(5) Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs – Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures.

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.
